rice DR.. James Ready, removed, will, we
hope and believe be attended with
thorough reform of the heretofore very cor
rupt conduct of internal revenue mat
tiers in this district, He has an Augean
stable to cleanse, and for the fair fame OF
New Orleans we trust he will prove enough
of Hercules for the task.
1t is denied that General Steedman will,
now Congress has adjourned, return to
New Orleans as Collector Of Internal Rev
enue, as the Washington Q,dd aa1,cs report.
His friends declare that the General has
formed entirely different plans but white
man is known to be uncertain.
The papers have persistently misspelled
the name of President Johnson's appointee
to the Assessorship of the Louisiana Third
Revenue District. It baa been printed
Lowell. Lowell, Jewell, and Terrell but
should be, we are informed. Mr.. James F.
Jewell, long deputy in the treasury serv-
ice under Ex-Governor Flanders and
DR.. Ready. His nomination was
rejected, together with that of
Andrew Johnson brother, who was named
for the collectorship of the same district.
Without the President sees fit to suspend
them during the vacation Of Congress, the
present incumbents of the offices named,
Major A. w. Norcross and Colonel Eugene
Tisdale will be retained in charge. Seri-
Gus charges are pending against the latter.
The other Federal officers in Louisiana
may now be considered safe in theirplaces
for the present, as Mr.. johnson has express.
ed himself adverse to taking advantage Of
a recess of the Senate for suspending Off
GERS except in cases of pressing necessity.
and where public interests would be en-
dangered by non-action. He rightly con-
siders such course violative of the spirit
of the civil tenure law, and as conducive
to a Reorganization of the government
service.

POLITICAL JUSTICE.

The Southern politicians seem to pos
sess the art, in the highest perfection, Cf
running their own cause So says the
Nation. In this sentence We find the key to
the political history of the South. When
ever the slave aristocracy have sought to
increase their own power by degrading
their fellow men they have oVerreached
themselves, and the blow at the rights of
others has rebounded upon their own
heads. The event of secession as an exam
pie need not be dwelt upon.
But we recall an instance near at home.
AT this time in 1866 the Southern allies in
the North had every promise of success in
the fall elections for Congressman.
The Democracy of Louisiana were en-
thusiastic, aud sanguine Of a speedy arrival
of that hour when they should again assist
in dividing the Federal patronage
They reassumed their old tone of AFRO
ganee. They became intolerant. They
perpetrated the massacre of the thirtieth OF
July, and lost to themselves the election
throughout the land.
History repeats ITSELF
If the Democratic party has at this mo
ment the shadow of chance of success in
any portion Of the North they are about to
lose it. The murders of the Ku.Klux, the
violent outragts of the rebel Democracy
in every parish of this State, and throughout
the entire South are destined to produce a
reaction upon the Northern mind which
will result in the complete and final over
throw of that party whose every instinct |
has been opposed to the rights of men, aud |
to the essential nature Of our form of gov

When our neivhbor Of the Bulletin is no

When our neighbor Of the Bulletin is not
irritated by some fancied wrong, or his
Imagination has not conjured up false
and fantastic vision of impending calamity,
he tells the people very sensible things,
which 1t would be greatly to their interests
to heed. When he sits down to calm and
phllOsOphic survey of the situation, he dis
covers that there may be small leaven of
good even in the abolition of slavery, in
colOred suffrage, and in the "carpet-bag'
government Of Louisiana, although he at
other times distOFts all these evidences of
human progress into unmixed and unmiti-
gated evils.
Below we give an extract from a recent
leading article in the Bulletin, to show that
we correctly state the case;
The present system of labor and of social
relation has been imposed against our own
strenuous resistance. Yet we can see Gle
meAts of influence in the new system which
the old did not possess. We have had an
increased vote thrust upon us. 1t is plain
thst this vote, even when represented by
carpet baggers, must be cast for the labor
interestA Of Louisiana, and for the improved
outlets Of the Mississippi. These votes are
Ia direct and irrepressible conflict with the
interests OF our arch enemy, New England.
We do not see the especial necessity for
the concluding not very mild fling at New
England, but the general sentiment con-
Yeyed il the above extract is nnquestion-
ably good. In fact, it is first-rate Radical
Republican doctrine The prosperity of
Louisiana depends almost wholly upon her
labor, and certainly, therefore, that labor,
whether white or black, should be and is
entitled to direct representation. Having
this representation, labor has the power to
protect Itself, and il IL delegates that power
% caFpet-baggers it is from a conviction
tAas this new element in the commonwealth
iSmfeFisf in vim, energy, and the all re-
quiSftO disposition to those old classes of
citizens who are still hampered with love
for the institutions of a past era. To foster
aAd promote her interests, Louisiana wants
81 the power in the government that she
caa obtain; and it is for this reason that
reasoning men denounce as suicidal the
Seymour platform, which would dis
tfanchise the g lored race and
PFepOrtiouAtely reduce the strength of the
State In The national halls Of legislation.
Thsra is no more danger Of the cOlored
people selecting representatives whose pol
icyNOpld prove inimical TO the welfare Of
LspisiaAa than there is Of the white peo-
PIE doing go; and the sooner the Demo-
cEets. recognize and admit this fact, and
make the best OF it, the better for all par
ties.

Continued Outrages-ProteetIon wanted.
HOUMA, July 26, 1865.
On the evening Of the twenty-fourth in
slant a fine Newfoundland dog belonging
to Captain Francis was poisoned by some
party, and about one O'Clock the same
night the corn crib was discovered to be on
fire. The alarm was instantly given, which
aWOke numbers Of our citizens, who hasten
cd to render assistance. They removed all
the furniture expecting that the FIRE would
communicate to the main dwelling, but
fortunately only the stable and corn crib
were destroyed.
The conjecture is that whoever poisoned
the dog did so for the purpose Of getting
access to the premises 10 light the FIRE. /
believe this is Just the beginning Of such
hellish measures, and the sooner we have a
constabulary force the sooner will such
things cease.

A Chinese widow.

A passenger from San Francisco to Hong
Kong describes diseonsOlate widow that
was among the Chinese passengers. of
whom there were some twelve or fifteen.
She had resided in California fifteen years
had accumulated about $4,000, and hay-
ing lost her husband by death, was return
ing to China to abide for the future with
her friends and kinsmen. She was about
forty years Of age, good looking, when con-
sidered from a Chinese standpoint, and.
being rich, would doubtless be considered
a good catch by her oountrymen. She had
had the bones of the "dear departedD
polished after the Chinese style, boxed in a
camphOrwood trunk and was taking them
to the Flowery Kingdom in order that they
might be deposited in the joss House
alongside those Of his ancestors.
Every day she would descend TO the hold
of the vessel where the remains were
slowed, and spend an hour or two with the
skeleton, muttering mixed sort of prayer,
while tears streamed from her eyes. Her
mummeries concluded, she would come
upon deck, smoke her cigar, laugh and
chatter with her countrymen, as if she
were the most light-hearted person in the
world. One day, after she had terminated
her hours penance over the dry bones Of
her skeleton husband, / asked her, writes
the correspondent, why she said her pray
ers over him daily, and was not little
to hear her reply, g Me likee to
fools Cinnamon; he tinkee me likee husband
belly much; then maybe bime by me get an.
other one. Ny husband in boxee belly good
man, be belly dry | felt that human
nature was the same the world over, and I
therefore asked no more questions.

EDITOR REPrRLIcANt


Article los of the constitution of
the State of Louisiana says more
but citizens of the United States and
of this State shall be appointed to any
office of trust or profit in this State. All
persons who could not take the test oath
on the seventeenth and eighteenth days Of
April, 1868, were not citizens of the United
States and could not be citizens of this
State, and there is no act in the eOnstitu-
ton of this State that gives a DISTINGUISHED
person the right to hold office under the
election of the seventeenth and eighteenth
days of April. The citizenship commences
with the date of civil government, and one
year from that date he can hold office and
not before. There is no retroactive nor
er post fdeio law in the State of Louisiana,

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
viii you Oblige your readers with a little
information on the city money question.
First, we desire to know whether the bill
now before the Legislature entirely cuts off
the use of city currency for payuent of taxes7
Secondly, what provision is made for the
redemption Of this issue: and lastly, whether
there Is any truth in the rumors OF over.
issue? The public want information. so
please enlighten us. X.
In reply to these questions, we can only
say:
The bill now pending does cut off the use
of city money for payment of city taxes.
By this bill no provision is made for the
redemption of this issue.
In a very few days we hope to learn
and announce the result of the investiga-
tons now pending.

Such patent humbug as that now attempt
ed to be played of upon this class of our
people by the political tricksters of the
Democratic party is always sure to react,
for the very obvious reason that all sensi-
BILE men think contemptibly of such schemes
to make little political capital. We
should think that these political manipu-
lators might well believeit more profitable
to try such shallow devices upon any other
nation or race Of people upon this earth
than upon the Israelitish race, proYerbial
as it is for intelligence and shrewdness,
and for acting in all things only after the
coolest and most mature consideration.
We think, moreover, they might have
learned something of the character of this
wonderful people from the great delineator
Of human character, if not from their own
observation: Hath not Jew eyes Hath
not Jew hands, organs, dimensions,
senses, affections, passions? If you prick
us do we not bleed If you poison Ms do
we not die ~ And there might be added,
if you attempt shallow hoax upon MS
shall we not perceive it?

notice that bill has been introduced
in the House of Representatives providing
for the reception Of United States currency
only for taxes in future. This is as it
should be. We have suffered enough
from the effects of this illegitimate cur
rency (known as City money!, and it
is time it was Topped off, root aud

this proceeding, but the public will
gain. Let its use for taxes be forbidden
Investigate thoroughly the legality of its
issue, and the question of over-issue; let
the brokers and Spectators suffer, but put
it out of the power of the city to impose
further on the public. The Legislature is
our only hope, and with proper action on
their part we may expect relief.
