What Kind Of a Democratic

Senator Eustis Scored by II Picayune Cor
respondent.
Editor Picayune-Mr. Eustis is indul-
cling in valedictions. Here on his way to
a Northern train he disburdens himself to
the States, and at New York expresses him
self anew by wire just before he walks the
plank to foreign steamer. In the later
statement occurs this: IF my friends are
not entitled to recognition, then the regular
Democracy of Louisiana are to be Ignored
and as Democrat, | do protest" a
gentleman who conceives himself so ex-
emplary Democrat and is moved with SO
extreme solicitude for the maintenance of
Democratic principles that he bars from
the Irregular Democracy of Louisiana" all
Save "my friends" and arraigns even Pres
ident in respect of his discharge of Execu-
tive functions, invites serious questions rs to
the measure Of his authority as censor.
As Democrat, Mr.. Eustis could not coax
accidental from his own ward to day were a
precious tenet of the party to be reserved
from peril in convention.
AS DtuoCTHt,- ne represents not the
body of the party, but that tumor upon it
which has subtracted so much from its
vitality aud wholesome assertion, a Sordid
Ring.
Asa DEMOCRAT he has rendered very in
considerable service; has had his armor off
much oftener than on, and has recognized.
1t would seem, the just insensibility of the
people Of Louisiana to airy obligation nj
MS hands by having recourse to this Ring
which assigns men TO places for their SER
vice to itself, and not to fhe common
wealth.
AS a Democrat, his nausea stirs at Radi-
Gals that sit in Federal places, but not at
Ring managers with whom they have long
benin direct league, nor at other Radicals
who are allowed by devious means from a
Legislature into a Democratic caucus and
to whose succor he owes his seat in the
Senate o-day.
As Democrat he has tYice entered the
Senate. and only by some measure of Radi-
cal consent: and the caucus vote of last
year which carried him through was Sc
dan chair upborne by two Madison da1kics
rs Eustis Democrats,
AS Democrat he should remember that
the last utterance of his Party was that 'sths
various offices of the Government belong
to the people thereof, who rightfully de-
mand to be allowed to exercise and fill tile
same wherever they are filled by capacity,
integrity and energy:' that Ring which
stands arrayed against the people and has
dealt them SO many ya,Iton atfrouts,
should not be armed with fresh. powers for
mischief. and That he presents to-,ay, in
the very facts of the authorship of his Of
fetal being, scant reason to challenge A
President born OF ununestioned Demo-
l.at,c loins. Sitting in his place in thu,
Ssuste. he Will have reason to say viii,
