treatment. Circumstances always threw
MS more in the society of Major Gregg. vet

sala,aton and a few cordial words for the
editor OF the Guardian.

any one to purchase lottery tickets. That

No Instructions.

In this days paper will be found the
proceedings Of the executive committee in
the appointment Of delegates to the State
convention. Their resolution opposing
the instruction Of delegates is q very prop
er one. While they decline TO instruct
delegates from ,hi. parish they declare by
their resolution that it would be contrary
to the sentiments Of the people Of Clai.
borne parish to send our representative
men mp to the National Democratic Con-
vention hampcrrd as to their votes upon
a question Of gravest Importance.
| Believing as we do that instructions at
this time are nnwise and may result in
serious injury to the party, we can but re-
greet the course pursued by many leading
Democrats in New Orleans in their advo.
eacy Of the claims Of General Hancock.
There ~ no true Louisiana Democrat but
that would bail with joy the nomination
of General Hancock il that nomination
conld he brought about without disturb
ing the harmony Of the National Democ-
racy.
II seems to us that in the impending
struggle for the highest office within the
gift of the people, there is every reason
why all good Democrats should use all
possible endeavors to prevent disscnsion-
and dIscord. We cannot afford to go into
this fight divided in strength. There are
usually heart-burnings enough that follow
u presidential convention without in
creasing the chances for dfscord and con.
srqncnt ill-feeliug 10y so instructing dele
gates that there will be no hope for any
accommodation of those differences that
are sure to exist.
Delegates who go into a great delibera-
tive body like the Cincinnati convention
under orders to vote for one man first, last
aud all the time, occupy position neither
crcdiinble To themselves or the people that
send them. They have no power for
good. Their uftcranc- will not bc heed
ed because they speak the sentiments of a
prcjudicrd mind.
We know that there is no truth in the
opinion the uniformed citizen has abont

Lucrative body brought together to select
the best man regardless Of individual
preferences. While such is not the fact.
common dcccncy would seem to demand

hopes for success upon the fact that if

Similar dissatisfaction will follow the
nomination of any man succrstful by rra.

this fact, it is strange that the Drrnocra-
cy should make mistake Of the same
kind.
IL is suggested that in Louisiana an
cndravor is being made "to stock the

should be the first State TO hold its CON

Representative STUBBs has intro
duced a bill in the House to reduce
the publication of the Treasurer's
Tax Duplicate to three soeeks instead
of sac, and to be published in two
papers in each county, one of each
party. This is a just bill, and we
hope every Democrat will give it his
support when it comes to a vote. It
should have included the Delinquent
Land Sales also. These are two of
the most important publications to
the taxpayers of every county. Yet
a conten ptible partisan legislation
has fixed it SO that one-half of the
taxpayers in a County like Preble,
are deprived of knowing anything
about them without subscribing for
a paper of opposite political belief.
The injustice of the thing must be
acknowledged by every man with a
spark of liberality in his body, and
lit is about time all such partisan
legislation was wiped out, and that
the laws to govern us be made to do
as near as possible "eQual and exact
Justice to all" Mr.. STUBBs deserves
the thanks of the minority in every
County in the State, and will receive
them.

The colored member from Cincin-

sentatives, has instituted suit
against a restaurant keeper in Col
umbus, for refusing to treat him like
other men, and set before him a
meal ordered from the bill of fare
lust as white folks would have order
ed. The honorable Representative
clearly has a right to be indignant,
but at the same time if he would re-
feet as to what action would be most
consonant with his new dignity he
would doubtless conclude that to
have gone where his presence was
welcome would have been more
agreeable for all concerned, and
would not have injured the feelings
of anybody. The honorable gentle
man appears to have begun to pre-
sumo that the fact that he is an hon
orable Representative gave him the
right to intrude where he never would
have thought of going before he be-
came an honorable Representative.
One of the first rules which govern
the action of every true gentleman
is never to go where his presence
will be in any way Objectionable to
those around. The world is wide

There has been no more scathing
rebuke of the electoral commission
than is contained in the recent de-
liverance of the Maine supreme
court. These ~jurists say, in reply
to the second question: "The object
of the constitutional provisions re-
specting elections is to furnish as
many safeguards as may be against
a failure, either through fraud or
mistake, correctly to ascertain and
declare the will of the people as ex-
pressed in their choice of their Off
GERS and legislators" The majority
of the electoral commission assumed
that it was none of their business to
try to find out the will of the people,
as expressed by their ballots. They
decided that they could not do the
very thing to do for which the com
mission was created. Taking the
returns as they stood, they refused
to go behind them or to accept evil
dence of the fraud and perjury
which they represented. They de-
signedly counted a return the sigma
lures to which were forgeries. Now
the republican party plants itself on
the opposite extreme, and lauds In
the most extravaganza terms the very
doctrine on which the Democrats
relied in 1877, but relied in vain, for
the Infamous commission kicked il
out of the supreme court chamber.

theft by setting up the theory that
the Maine justices have just repud.

The formation of an anti Grant
movement by the independent Re
publicans, heretofore reported, is
reiterated by the Washington cor
respondent of the New York San,
who says:
The object of the new organization
is to centralize in one mass all the
Republican opposition to Grant in
the country. John Sherman is really
at the head of the movement, and
he hopes to be the chief beneficiary.
The principal idea at this time is to
have it known throughout the coun-
try that certain Republicans of
prominence will-aot support Grant
in the event of his nomination for a
third term. So far, Geo. William
Curtis and ex-senator Henderson of
Missouri, are the only ones who
have made that announcement pub
liclY. Murat Halstead, of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, Sherman's or
gan, is enlisted in the movement
against Grant. 1t is expected that
Blaine's adherents will help in the
anti Grant undertaking, and the
main chieftain will endeavor to
draw to his support every anti Grant
Republican that Sherman cannot
capture.

Why not Pendletons
philadelphia Telegraph.

Why not try the man who came
within an ace of beating Seymour
in 1852
Why not try Pendleton2 He is
not tinctured so much with soft
money notions as he was in 1868.
He comes from the central State of
the continent.
He is rich, young, goodlooking.
He makes a good speech. He enter
tains handsomely. He is learned.
He is a courageous a He has a
strong hold on the Ohio Democracy.
He could carry Indiana as well as
Mr.. Hendricks, and would stand as
fair a chance in New York as Bayard
or Seymour. The South bound to
him by ties Of ancestry, would sup
port him heartily. He would stand
as good a chance of carrying Ohio
as any Democrat that a be named
better we think. Perhaps that
isn't saying much, but we want to
mention all the points in his favor.
He has a grand scheme of Cabinet
reform, and we might look to him to
establish some reform in the Civil
Service were he elected. Pendleton-
ism in 1880 would mean a very diff
ferent thing for Pendletonism in
1868. The junior Senator from Ohio
is a dozen years older than he was
when he tried to get the nomination
before. He has learned a great deal
in that time.
Why not P%endleton, the young
and gallant leader of the Ohio Dem
ocracy, the man to lead, next year
the Democracy of the nation?
