Gen. Gilmore goes to Florida for the simple
purpose of enabling her loyal people TO bring
her back to the Union. As the object oil the
continuance of the war is The restoration oil the
supremacy of the Government over all the re-
VOTED States, it would seem to be legitimate
work TO restore a single one of them. 1t is Tor
the Administration to Judge whether the cir
cumstances, in any given case, justify the at
tempt end whether the force necessary for the
purpose can be spared TO cary il out. II Is quite
possible that the Administration may desire The
return of q loyal State to the Union without
reference to the next Presidential election, and
equally possible that journals whose sympathie'
are with the Rebels should wish there should be
no such return unless it be by some oompro-
mise whereby the Pro-Slavery rule OF the Rebels
shall still be maintained II Florida shall be-
come q loyal State, her people will probably
vote for such candidate for next President rs
peases them best, and neither Gen. Gilmore
nor Gen. Gillmores soldiers will interfere in
the matter In tho mean while, a. the Rebels
are largely dependent upon that Peninsula for
beef-cettle, which it produces in great abund'
ance, it may be quite az well to use few regi-
ments Of soldiers to cut them Off from this sup
ply as to send them to central point OF attack.
On the whole the movement OF Gen. Gilmore
seems quite explcable without resorting either
to the Copperhead explanation, or the wise,
strategic talk on the "scatteration policy
and " interior lines"

that il was an outrage to obige Whites to ride

which does not appear to us to have been re-
morkably accurate between "political equality
and social equality"-he thought we had gone
far enough when we extended the first to the
Black, and that we should still deny him the
latter boon. He might very properly have been
asked what political equality" is worth If 1t

degradation incurred through no fault OF his

political or social does not mean the right to ex-
change cards with this man, TO dine with that,
or to ride in the same vehicle with the other.
Equality, before the law, means an identity OF
public privileges, an immunity from forts TO

protection in the enforcement of contracts To
such equality, all citizens, black or white, are
entitled. If not We should very much like to
have Mr.. Hendricks show us why not.

The question of the price of admission to I

great Fair to be held next month, is, we under
stand, topic of earnest discussion at this mo-
ment, before the committee. We have not III
quired on which side the weight Of opinion pre-
dominates, but the public we think, will decide
very speedily, on its part, to flock in great num-
bers to the Fair, if the price of admission is low
one, and to stay away in equally large numbers,
if it is not. We rather wonder that the ques-
ton should receive moments consideration.
Those who 20 TO the Fair merely to see will not

absence will be so much dead loss; while those
who 90 to buy will either be repulacd by high
price of admission, or go with determination
to save that cost by buying the less. The first
object Of the Fair should be to attract as large
a crowd as possible, and to attract it
in such state of mind that it will be good
naturedly lavish of its money. The man who
goes with his wife and four or five children, at
half dollar each, with disposition to pur-
chase, IL far better customer than one who
goes with his wife only-if he goes at all-at

Quite as unwise would it be to have different
prices Of admission on different days. These

distinctions of classes are raeoghizedi but not

are at work everywhere will hardly have their
interest in the fair increased by being told by
such an arrangement, that there arc days when
their presence is not desirable, and that they are
to be kept away from the company of their sup
posed better5 by putting the price Of admission
beyond their means. The fair is for the soldiers;
let the soldiers friends be attracted to, not

TYRANNY AT Ew-OhshEAT,S'

Iouisiona was bought, and good money PAID
for il, by the United States Of America. Napo

title--one that has never been questioned-ant
that title is now orr eountry's. She nevel

way, thenceforth evermore.
Certain persons residing in Louisiana have
undertaken to defraud Us Of our purchase and
its use. They, without paying us back cent
Of our heavy outlay, claim to have taken that
State out Of the Union and thus to have cut the
great Northwest off from all right to reach the
Gulf of Mexico by way Of the Mississippi. OF
course, that involves laws suit, which we are
now trying-Gen. Banks, at New-Orlcans, be-
ing one Of the attorneys for the United States.
Through the efforts Of our attorneys Butler,
Grant and Banks, We have secured on initial
success: we have reopened the river that our
adversOries had closed against us, and they are
trying hard to close it again. The case is
still Oh.
Now there are people in New-Orleans who
proclaim themselves our foes. They haze, on
invitation, come forward and been pat on record
as Registered enemies Of the United States"
They are not expected, nor even allowed, to
vote at our elections. They have 10 right to
vote, and they don 7 want to vote, under the
Stars and Stripes.
The rest Of the people of New Orleans profess
and are presumed to be our folks They gav
they ore loyal Unionists. We take them al
their word. And Gen. Banks says those who
are protected, and treated as loyal men-many
Of them making money by virtue Of that profes
sion--shall behave accordingly, by voting at the
ensuing election.
Where is the hardship
They are not required to vote for any particu-
lar ticket or party. On the contrary, they have
three diverse tickets already in the iield--the
Radical, headed by B. +. Flanders; the half.
way Radical, headed by Michael Hahn; and
the Conservative, led by Christian Roselius.
Each Of them believes it has chance; that of
the Conservative is perhaps at this moment the
best. And that party is Pro-Slavery enough to
satisfy even New-York Copperhead.
Yet there Is concerted clamor because Gen.
Banks notifies these preiessedly Unionists
that be expects them TO vote at the approaching
Election; not to vote for one or any Of the
tickets in nomination, but simply TO cote. Why
