THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY, JUNE Is, 1878

candidate makes the chances OF the Demo-
Gratis excellent indeed.
70 will be safe to assume that whatever
changes occur in the South will be favorable
to the Democrats. In this State there are but
two doubtful districts, Judge Leonard's and
Mr.. Aeklen's, and there Is fair chance Of
carrying both of these.
From the Pacific States the Democrats have
already scored one gain, from Oregon, and
the last elections in all these States point to
further gains. So far the outlook Is alto
gether favorable to the Democrats, and 1t
does not appear where the Republican gains
are to come from to change the politics OF the
House as 1t now stands. The indications
point with certainty to an increased Demo-
cratic majority, and the absolute control by
that party of the Legislative departments OF
the government So mote it be.

The great Jackson Route has now on
sale excursion tickets to the beautiful
summer resorts OF che Northwest at
very low rates. They will remain on sale till
September 30, and will be good TO return till
October 81, They include such well known
points as Waukesha, Oc0nomow0c and Green
Lake, Wisconsin; st. Paul, Minnesota; Grand
Haven and Maekinaw Michigan, and Niagara
Falls, besides numerous others OF perhaps
equal attractions. There are no more deSira-
bic places at which to spend the summer than
these cool and healthful resorts, situated in
the lovely lake district of Wisconsin, or on
the noble Lake Michigan and Niagara river.
Boarding Is cheap and of the best quality;
and at many of them are mineral springs
particularly adapted to the cure of complaints
engendered by Southern climate. All are
easily accessible from large cities, and COM
bine with their associations the benefits OF
rural life.
To reach them the great Jackson Route is
the shortest quickest and only direct line.
It is in excellent order, having been praeti-
eally rebuilt with steel rails. No one passing
over 1t can fail to notice the smooth track, alb
sence of DUST and thoroughly satisfactory
condition of everything about 1t. Pullman
cars run through to Chicago and Cincinnati
without change, and there Is no change of
points to which excursion tickets are sold.
Books, maps and folders, giving full de-
scriptions of the Northwestern watering
places and the routes and rates thereto can
be had at the office of the great jackson Route,
No. % Camp street, under City Hotel, where
every one intending to spend the summer
away from this city is invited to call before
deciding to go elsewhere.
The great Jackson route Is also without
superior as q line to New York and all the
principal Eastern cities, reaching them with
but one change of cars.

personal liberty of those who trespass upon
Its privileges courts which 1t has bought
up cannot decide that 1t cannot be fnterfered
with for two or three generations because 1t
has ''vested rights" Nay when the rascal
ties OF such ring are exposed; when the
press has shown that it has corruptly inter-
fered In legislation, and that 1t is debauehing
politics and society, 1t goes to pieces at once
its members are chased from one end of the
world to the other, captured, tried convicted
and imprisoned. 1t is very different in the
case Of monopoly such as the one our hon
ored and distinguished fellow-citizens, Cen
erals Beauregard and Early, are defending.
The corrupt acts of such an institution
may be shown up. 1t may be proven
that 1t has influenced courts; that it has
bribed legislatures; that 1t has grossly
violated its charter; that 1t has deceived
swindled and defrauded the poor Ignorant
and credulous OF the community; that 1t Is
using bribery, intimidation and every other
corrupt influence to control politics. But it
cannot be destroyed A brigade Of great
lawyers are ever ready to defend It's chartered
right. Courts and legislatures dare not in
fringe its vested rights" and thus it may
go on for fifteen years longer curse to the
State, growing richer each year; and at the
expiration OF It's charter 1t may SO have the
State In Its grasp as TO direct the Legislature
1t will have assembled, and the Governor 1t
may have elected. TO renew its charter for an
other quarter Of q century.
No monopoly has ever surrendered its
charter; no monopoly has ever respected the
law unless forced TO do so. 1t Is only the
wrath of an indignant people, excited beyond
endurance, that can overawe and defeat the
mighty agencies which a monopoly like the
Louisiana State Lottery can gather to its
support Nay, we assure Generals Beaure-
gard and Early that they are greatly mis-
taken on this point. Even II they are right
in every other position they have taken, they
are wrong here. A monopoly Of any sort Is a
pernicious thing; a monopoly of gambling
or of any other vice is whitening
curse to any community.
There are other points In the manifesto of
Generals Beauregard and Early we had in
tended to review, but these articles have
been so long that we shall desist. And now
In conclusion we will again express our pro-
foundest respect for these distinguished men,
who won glorious renown In the defense of
a cause dear to the heart of every Southern
man. The people OF Louisiana, nay, let us
say the people OF the whole South, can never
cease to love these veterans of the Confederaoy.
To us it has been painful duty to take issue
with them, and we should never, under any cir
cumstances, have done so-had not their card
rendered review of 1t by the DEMOCRAT an
imperative though regretful duty. We have
treated them with the profound respect and
regard we feel for them, and nothing they
may say can force us to speak Of them save
In terms of affection and respect. With this
article we conclude the only chapter on the
lottery it has given us pain to write.

Gen. Joseph Z. Johnston declines TO say
anything In regard to the Grant Taylor con
troversy. His note to Gen. Taylor, he says,
was private communication, and should not
have been used without his consent. He is
not authorized by his informant, and can say
nothing on the subject. He believes, how
ever, that Gen. Taylor's statement is true,
and regrets that he cannot join him In the
publication.
This statement was made to New York
Herald reporter
Gen. Mcclellan also declines to have any
thing TO say on the subject. He is frank
enough to say he knows nothing of the matter
except by hearsay, and he declines perempto-
rily to pass any criticisms on Gen. Grants

Father Genin, the old missionary to the
Sioux, has just returned from Sitting Bulls
camp. and gives q very interesting account to
q New York Herald correspondent of the
aims, strength and resources of the Sioux.
Sitting Bull, who is but thirty-eight years of
age, is his dear friend and calls him brother.
Father Genin estimates his force at $4,000
warriors, all we'll armed, with an abundance
of ammunition, which has been freely sup
piled them by traders. Seventeen men are
constantly employed filling cartridges.
They even refill the old Henry
metal cartridges using paste made
OF the composition taken from matches
as an explosive. congress Of all the tribes
OF the Sioux nation has been called by Sitting
Bull to meet in June. The question to be de-
termined is, whether they shall unite as
nation and come South. The country where
they are now cannot support them, and Sit
ting Bull says he wants his old country on
the Yellowstone. He will not fight II he can
help 1t. He does not want to go on reserva-
tion. and wants no supplies from the govern
ment. ALI he asks is country of his own,
where he and his people can live to them
selves. Father Genin thinks 1t would be folly
ID provoke a war with him, as his capacity to
carry on an endless and bloody struggle Is
hardly to be overestimated. 1t strikes US
that Sitting Bulls proposition is very sensi-
hIe aid well as a just one. Let him be assigned
i country TO be exclusively his own, and get
rid of the reservations and the thieving, rob
berry and outrage, both upon the Indians and
the government, that has always attended
that policy.

SENATOR HILLS SECRET.

The utteranees attributed TO Senator Ben
Hill by the Washington correspondent OF the
New York Times, in regard to the Wormley
conference and the solemn engagement en-
tered into by the forty-two ex-COnfederates In
Congress to oppose all attempts to Illustrate
the counting of the electoral votes for Hayes,
are certainly very extraordinary. So extraor-
binary, indeed are they that we can scarcely
believe them to be true. 1t passes belief that
SO many honorable Southern men, of sufficient
repute and influence to obtain seats in Con-
gress as the representatives of the solid Dem
ocratic South could be found who would enter
into such secret combination as Senator
Hill describes. Yet Senator Hill is made to
speak by the card and his declarations are
positive and explicit, and so easily susceptible
of proof that there can be no diff
Guilty in substantiating all that he
says, IL it be true. This he will
doubtless be called upon to do. The Southern
people will certainly not allow such reveIa-
ton as this to go by unchallenged. They
will certainly ask for showing Of hands all
round In regard TO this extraordinary league.
They will demand to know upon what provo
cation it was entered into, and what there
was TO justify course which, in the light
Senator Hill has left 1t, was certainly very
base and cowardly piece Of business, a thing
the Southern people would have rejected at
the time and will surely rebuke now and in
all future time.
We prefer to reserve our comments till we
know more of this affair. It comes to us so
suddenly and is, withal, SO improbable that
we are not prepared to say that of it which it
appears from the light before us deserves to
be said.
