HOW DIsINTERBsFBD,

A world Of good advice has been wasted
upon General Grant by the rebels, from
Hampton Roads to the Rio Grande. He
was advised to let Vicksburg alone, as
there was no possibility of his capturing it.
Lee tried to persuade him that his efforts
to capture Richmond would prove futile,
but he fought it cut on that line till he
reached Appomattox. Since then he
has been taken under the special protec-
ton of the rebel press, who have
held him up to the world as a model of a
great soldier and sagacious commander, for
reasons not difficult to imagine. But fail
ing in their designs, the same men have
fallen to abusing the General, and as of old
continue to furnish him good advice gratis,
The latest concentration Of wisdom is
shown in a recommendation to Grant to
decline the nomination for the Presidency.
But as the hero Of the rebellion has for
mally accepted that honor, the rebels
are furious, and declare that he has
not got sense enough to decline. Proba-
bly, be has not. He manifested the same
shOrtcoming when he declined to cease the
pursuit of Lee, and would persist in whip
ping him into, and then cut of Richmond,
after be had been solemnly advised to keep
quiet, and go home.
The fact is, the rebels do not believe they
have any hope of seeing friend of their
party in the Presidential chair, even if Gen
eral Grant does not run against their can
didate. But with him in the field they
know they have no hope whatever Hence
their anxiety for him to withdraw from the
contest. Thus it will be seen that their ad.
vice is Of the usual disinterested character
and their marvel is great that General
Grant does not avail himself of it.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY, NAY 26 1865 -

in DAYS of ACKNOWLEDGMENT, was slaugh-
tered in cold blood, in broad daylight, and
perjured jury would declare bis assassin
Z" not guilty" ia the face of the most posi-
tive prOof to the contrary, And just
previous to the breaking out of the rebellion
it became the fashion to fasten upon a
poor man without influential friends the
stigma of being an abolitionist. A simple
charge of that character unsupported by
any proof would so prejudice the minds
of jury that justice was impossible for the
suspected party. Juries decided as though
they felt not heard the case.
There has been a change for the better
in some of our courts since the war. We
do not intend at this time to point out
special cases. The people already have a
very good idea of them. The selection
of juries from the honest masses without
regard to color has no doubt been a pow
erful agent of reform. And more es-
pecially has this been observable in the
United States Court, presided ever by
Judge Durell, where the practice has been
uninterrupted from the date of its intro
duction. A close examination Gifts records
will convince any unprejudiced man that
the law-breaker is held to account for his
crimes, however high be or his friends may
suppose his standing to be his money can
not buy the Judge, nor his influence intimi-
date the honest jury. On the other
hand, the innocent man, whether
rich or poor, black or white, resident of
the State all his life or the Immigrant of
yesterday, has nothing to fear before that
tribunal. In the judge he will End firm
friend, and in the jury brethren.
1t will be the mission of the Republican
party to model our State courts after the
fashion Of the federal tribunal as nearly as
possible. Justice, liberty, and the rights
of man will be mere words until this is
fully accomplished.

VALUE OF THE REPUBLICAN To
BUSINESS MEN

Business men, lawyers, judges, and in fact
all classes should bear in mind that the
REPUBLICAN, publishes officially the laws Of
Congress as soon as passed, the important
advertisements Of the government quarter
masters and commissaries, inviting pro.
posals for all manner of supplies, the entire
official proceedings of all departments of
the city government, including the sheriff's
sales for delinquent taxes, and is the only
paper in the State in which every advertise
ment in bankruptcy is ordered to be pub.
hshed. Aside from its political, commercial,
and literary value, it is indispensable to
nearly every man in the State on account of
these Official notices. It is the only daily
paper now published in the State that had
sufficient enterprise to publish the new
Constitution entire. We do not neglect
any subject that is Of any interest to our
people. .

THE HORRIBLE oRUELTIIs OF THE
TEXAN CATTLE TRADE,

We want the world to know that the
steamship king" the owner of the Morgan
line from New Orleans to Texas, comprising
dozen or more ships, is almost daily send
ing vessels out upon the high seas loaded
with hungry and famished cattle, aotho,li
one moutgid Of food or one drop of aoater
being provided for heir use. What adds to
the upspeakable atroeity Of this business,
that would have made an African slave
trader blush with shame, is the fact that
the ordinary passages of these steam
ships, varying from twenty to nearly
one hundred hours, according to the route,
are always liable to bs'sOubled or trebled
in length by Gulf storms.
