and neither the President Of the United States
nor tho aspiring and subtle Secretary OF tho
Treasury can afford To pigeon hole doeu-
ment containing charges of such grave char
acter against men whom they havs appointed
to important positions Of public trust. The

an exhibition If brasen efffontery such az was
never before Witnessed IN thia country on the

THOSE CHARGES. M


The DEMOCRAT and another city paper pub
lished on the first instant an appeal Of the
eS-unlon Soldiers Association Of this State
to the SUnion soldiers and sailors Of the
United States, Ia which they recited their
inability to secure employmentint the Federal
offices In this city by reason Of the patronage
which was lavishly bestowed upon political
favorites and tools of Mr. Kellogg and the
ex-members of the Returning Board. We
have received q lengthy communication from
another association, styling themselves the
ex-Unlon Soldiers and Sailors Association.
declaring that they bear unblemished char
acters In this community, and are not con
nected, directly or indirectly, with any other
sects Or body OF men representing themselves
as Union soldiers. They protest against and
ignore any and all proceedings In political
matters Of the Union soldiers haring meet
ings at No. 50 st. Charles street.
Whether there are any other associations
Of similar name In the city we do not know,
nor do we see Just what difference it makes
whether one OF these associations indorses
the other or does not The charges against
the Federal officials here seems to nave been
made after much and careful inquiry into the
various departments, and the methods pur-

Gen. Sherman evidently thinks there Ia
much magic III his name, as Sheridan did
when he attempted TO bully the people Of
New Orleans. The latter finally simmered
down with the rather remarkable declaration
that he was not afraid. The General OF the
army recently made a. ridiculous an eNEibi-
ton Of himself as little Phil did on the oeca-
sion referred to. When the Presidential
party arrived at Hannibal, Mo-, few days
ago, number of ill-mannered people assalled
the President and those with him with ieers
and abusive shouts. This conduct cannot be
excused 1t was disgusting, but no more 50
than Gen. Sherman's after conduct. Step
ping from the car and addressing the crowd
he gave 1t some Information concerning him
self. of no particular consequence TO the pub
Lie, ending with: You must not insult the
President Of the United States, and you must
not insult me, for il you do, SO help me God,
I'll fight" Gen. Sherman could hardly have
made a worse spectacle Of himself. The con-
duet of the rowdies was bad enough; the
bullying attitude OF the General OF the army
was worse. IT was 40. only undign.tied, but
Tholly unnecessary.

THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.

The contest yraterday over the election for
officers of the Democratic ward clubs aud for
delegates to the Baton Rouge convention,
which convenes on the sixth Instant, for the
purpose OF nominating the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, was one Of the most ex-
citing ever witnessed In this city. The great
popularity and recognized worth Of both the
aspiran was eviaced by the extraordinary
and exceptional interest taken In the result
by gentlemen who very rarely leave their or.
binary pursuits to take active part lii the
primary elections. Devoted personal friends
of both gentlemen gave themselves up enthu-
siastically to the ful therance Of the interests
Of their respective favorlte, and worked with
q zeal which Is manifested In the unusually
large vote cast.
It Is matter for sincere congratuatlon that
Notwithstanding the excitement and heat OF
the struggle there were no scenes Of violence
and no attempt to impede or harass voters
1t appears to have been fair fight, In which
each participation did his utmost to achieve
success by legitimate and proper means, and
the general good order which was maintained
throughout the city speaks volumes for the
law-abding character Of our people. and for
the excellent provisions made for securing
peace by the police authorities. Much OF this
satisfactory result ID due To the spirit OF fair
ness aud the sound, calm Judgment evnced
by the Parish Committee, that much ira
duced body, which has heretofore had to bear
the burden OF all the irreguarty of individ-
uals in the conduct OF our elections.

Times thinks tho opening most brilliant and
finds that the popular impression Is that we

Of the most hopeful signs is the fact that the

THE UNIVERSITY or LOUISIANA.

III Ii matter OF qualification to notice that
Tho aehdemieaI department of the University
of Louisiana has after more than n decade Of
still-born existence, been awakened into life.
This institution, opened as an experiment last
fall, has by virtue of the eo,intenancs and sup
port given To It by the lnta constitutional CON
vention, entered upon whit promises to be q
career OF great usefulness as u State college.
The need of such All establishment in our city
Ia universally recognized. The catalogue Of
the college inst published shows that the
bonrd Of administrators propose to establish
two additional prorsasorships. viz. One Of
Greek and English literature, and one Ger
man. For these chairs we understand there
are not q few applicants some from among
our own teaching fraternity. and some from
other States. 1t Ia to be hoped
that II the gentlemen who hnve been laboring
In our own educational field for years, and
who have undergone tho hardships which Tho
81 particularly upon their profession. should
bs found To be equally competent With for
eign applicants, preference should be given 20
thetn. Surely there are among our old adu-
cntors professors competent for these posi-
lions. Our city Journals have often during
late years been called upon to publish the
triumph Of young gentlemen, who, sent from
our city high schools and our academies to
tho Universities nj Virginia and New Fog
land, bore Off the frat prizes IN Latin, Greek,
mathematics and English. The instruo-
tors we allude to are still among
us: and we believe that some Of them, well
known to this community and appreciated
by Il, are among the applicants for these hon
orable chairs In the new university. While
we are always ready to respect and appre-
ciate offers Of men of education from abroad
to assist III building up Our schools and col
leges, We cannot but consider II just to award
positions Of honor and emolument III the pro-
fesson to those who have been identified with
us. This. we think, proper at any time. but
especially SO In times like these. tho weight
OF which has fallen upon no cass Of our clti-
zens 81 heavily us upon our honored teachers.

The New York Republicans, notwithstand-
Ing the Kelly bolt and the consequent dIvl-
sion Of the Democratic party, are by no
means satisfied that they can boat Gov Rob
itlson. Their leaders caution the rank and
file that 1t will not do to expect too much
from Democratic dissension; That they have
an earnest and doubtful campaign before
them, and that they can only succeed by tho
most active efforts. On the other hand the
regular Democrats, who were somewhat dis
heartened at first are now beginning o Wig
orous and aggressive canvass. with the best
results Altogether the outlook In New York
improves every day.
