THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY APRIL Is, 1873

Telegraph styles It, misrepresentation
There are certainly many persons who are
dissatisfied with Gov. Nichols and who
would be glad Of what is termed new deal
The feeling would have existed had any
other man, not endowed with the omnipotent
power to please everybody, occupied the
gubernatorial chair. The advocates Of a
constitutional convention are not hostile to
the Governor, and vast majority OF them
will insist, when such convention is assem-
bled, on an ordinance continuing the present
constituted officers in their places until the
expiration OF their terms. This was the
course pursued in Georgia, and such Is the
course which will be pursued In Louisiana.
The discomfort with the present order OF
things is not due to the course of the Cover
nor, but to the perpetuation OF an Ubiquitous
constitutional system, under which no other
man can do more than has been done to
relieve the burdens Of the people,

Mr.. Reagan, of Texas, In defending the
river and harbor bill prepared by the Com
mittee on Commerce, charged that most OF
the members who had protested against the
bill had done SO because their own districts
had not received as large amounts as they
had demanded He was asked for the names
Of such members but declined to give them.
Mr.. Ellis however, we are glad to see,
prom pity announced that he was one of the
Representatives referred to, and then went
on TO show that large appropriations had
been made for the improvement Of In
significant streams in Pennsylvania,
streams SO insignificant that the
Speaker, who Is Pennsylvania de-
clared that they are not even navigable 1t
was also shown in the discussion Mr.. Ellis
provoked, that considerable appropriations
had been made for other miserable streams In
Kentucky and other States In the North and
Wet. We are not astonished that Mr. Ellis
announced himself as on the protest against
this unjust bill, and he may well e&tsit that
he protested for the reason charged by Mr..
Reagan that his district did not get large
enough appropriation. The manner In which
this State and city have been given the go-by
In this bill is an outrage, and our representa-
tives should leave no effort untried to have the
wrong righted.

Robert w. johnson, legislator, lawyer
and statesman OF more than average merit
is prominent candidate for the next United
States Senatorship in Arkansas. Almost
anybody would be an Improvement as sue
cessor to Dorsey.-ISt. Louis Times.
The time was when Col. bob" johnson
was power In Arkansas, being by long odds
the strongest man before the people in the
State. He represented the State with con-
spicuous ability in the Senate before the war,
and also In the Confederate Senatp. Ii we are
not mistaken. Besides being q man OF
marked ability, he is a gentleman Of lofty
character and unimpeachable integrity. His
family connections are large and influential,
being brother-in-law of ex-Gov. Bevier and
Gen. Churchill. His daughter Is married to
q son OF John @. Breckenridge. Il would
look as II the good old times had come again
once more to see Col. johnson In his old seat
as Senator from Arkansas.

We have received a communication IN
which, after heartily approving our course
towards the Louisiana Lottery Company,
the writer proceeds as follows: "Why do
you not plainly call upon the Picayuse and
Times to know why they do not aid you in
your attacks on the Lottery The Picayune
especially claims to be the organ OF the old
est and best and am certain that your
course In this m alter meets the approval Of
those who are really the oldest and best and
they would approve the Ricagune and Times
In any effort to aid you. From their silence
there can be but one conclusion, namely, that
they are -" But no! We will not make
public the harsh conclusion which our cor
respondent draws from the silence OF these
two papers. We wish simply to remind him
that we have time and again called upon the
Times and Picayune to aid us in our efforts to
destroy the Lottery Company and all other
monopolies that disgrace our institutions and
corrupt the morals OF the people. but to no
purpose. That, however, is OF no conse-
quence. We do not require the assistance OF
these papers in our warfare against the
monopolies. All that we ask is the support OF
the people, FOR, with that, success will crown
our efforts.

cuses and evasions, and disappeared as some
rivers do in deserts Of sand.
We began admirably With Legislature,
at the start, composed almost exclusively of
Democrats and Conservatives, much work
necessarily preliminary to the greater meas
ures OF reform was accomplished. But when
the counsels of conservatism obtained control !;
when the enemies OF the State, engaged In open
war upon the legitimate government, and who
ought to have been communicated and ar
rested and punished when caught, were bought
out OF the Packard Legislature, and the whole
gang Of revolutionists and thieves we're
brought into the House and Senate, the
work of reform was ended We defy the most
ardent admirer OF the late body to point to
any important reformatory measure which
was passed after the fatal day when we abb
sorbed, through ignominious purchase and
contemplate compromises, the Packard gang
Our maiorities were then SO small that 1t was
easy for rings, and monopolists, and jobbers to
buy up enough dishonest and renegade Dem
ocrats and Conservatives to turn the Legisla-
ture over to the enemies Of the people; and that
was just what was done. When the session
Of 1878 assembled there was nothing for it
to do but to make clean sweep of the consti-
tuition Of 1868, the monopoies, and reduce the
expenses OF the government at least one-half.
But the Democrats had no longer the ma
iority; they could accomplish nothing; the
day they bought out the Packard govern
ment they lost nine-tenths of the fruits Of
the victory we had won.
Let us see to it that none but DEMOCRATS
are sent TO the front this time, and that they
are sent there with specific orders.

The sugar schedule Of the new tariff bill
seems to be the section that is being most
bitterly fought. The Pennsylvania iron men
did protest, it is true, against those sections
OF the bill relating to the duty on manufac-
tured iron; meetings were held by them in
Pittsburg, Pottsville and in all the iron
manufacturing centres of the State; but their
opposition to the bill was never as strong or
as we'll organized as the opposition of the SUI
gar importers to the proposed duty on sugar
Every city Interested in the sugar refining
business arrayed itself against the bill In Bos-
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and NewYork, the
grocers, importers and refiners held meetings
and protested against the bill; delegates
were sent to Washington to appear before
the Committee on Ways and Means, to in
tercede with Secretary Sherman, etc. The
sugar refiners have kept the matter under
discussion ever since, and secured several
notifications OF the schedule as originally
proposed. Not satisfied with this, however,
they are insisting upon some still more rad
ical changes In the duty on sugar.
This bitter opposition is the more strange
because the new tariff bill does not propose
any increase in the duties on sugar, and is
intended only to make the cost OF collecting
the duty as small as possible and to prevent
frauds on the revenue.
This attempt to prevent fraud seems to
have been one of the main objections that the
sugar importers have to the new bill. In
deed, their chief complaints at one time was
against the use OF the polarscope. Latterly,
however they have given up this anti-polar-
iscope fight and they now ask to have the
duty uniform on all grades Of sugar. This,
they insist, will provide as much revenue as
the present duty does.
There seems to be general inability on the

The Governor, we understand. has given
considerable attention to the Moffett register
bill, and will probably act upon 1t to-day or
during the week. We are not aware of the
side to which the Governors mind inclines,
but believe that his sound and discriminating
Judgment will in the end prompt him to veto
It. Should the bill become law 1t will in
volvc the State in long and expensive
litigation, and In the end, even IL
the liquor dealers are whipped out,
yield the State very little revenue. The
liquor men are firmly resolved, IL the bill be-
comes law, to pay not a cent Of taxes either
in the shape or license or register tax: where
as, II the bill is vet,ei they affirm their pur-
pose to walk up promptly and pay their
licenses From political standpoint this is
q dangerous and pernicious law, and though
IL might wiring out Of one class Of citizens a
little extra revenue, 1t is also likely to array
against us in the approaching campaign a
very large vote. We hope the Governor will
conclude to knock the Moffett register in the
head, or in the typographical language Of the
day, we hope he will sit down on it,"
