NEW ORLEANS VERSUS CHICAGO.

When the Jta,plsc1tte pitches into the
Tangipahoa Banner Of Light, or the Amite
City Stars ard Stripes, country people
think that the hair is actually flying. But
when the great Chicago and st. Louis
papers ago in - the cudgeling is indeed
really glorious. According to the st. Louis
journals Chicago has the best selected and
most audacious rascals of any city in the
world, and more of them; also the bluest
beef, the sharpes. sales, the biggest boasts,
and the hollowest credits; her buildings
are made Of splinters and shavings; whole
streets are liable to tumble down at any
moment; the whole city had in fact recent
ly a narrow escape from being blown
away.
But the Chicago TdneG has capped the
climax by calling the ice furnished to- The
use of the unhappy people frozen night
SOIL" declaring that the great drainage
problem which has so long distracted the
city has finally been solved by compelling
the people to swallow the sewerage" and
intimating that when the people Of the city
are thus compelled to swallow themselves
they ought to be capable Of sharp things.
In New Orleans our City Fathers have
condemned US not exactly to swallow but
to snuff our Sewerage The Odorous lakes
of filth in the rear Of the city threatening
pestilence are monuments to official inca
pacity that outranks the seventy individ-
ual stinks of Cologne, and actually smell
to heaven" Let the City Fathers be COM
PEELED to take up their residence on the
banks of the cess pool, and our word for
it the great drainage question viii be set
tied in three days.
As to the gentleman who defeated by his
vote on Tuesday night the project to clean
out the draining canals at once, on the
ground that filth and Rastiness are on the
whole healthy I'VE believe he once main
tanned that thesis in pamphlet against all
comers), we have only to say that he was
born a hundred years or so too late, and that
in view of the actual knowledge now Access
sible on these important sanitary matters
the city can we'll afford to dispense with
his crude theories. He should have lived
in an age when mans sanctity was in
dictated by his nastiness, Let him test his
favorite theory by pitching his tent on the
Shiny banks of the Draining CANAL and
live for time on Graham bread and the
eels and catfish Of moastrOus size which
now swarm in the City Fathers, fsh nond.

econ NHWs To THR RAI,n.


Some one has attem pied to ridieule the
idea Of renOvating bald heads by means Of
transplanting hairs. We have repeatedly
seen Hyatt, the distinguished professor Of
anatomy and physiology in Vienna exhibit
to his wondering pupils ane plantation Of
hairs on his arm, transplanted from the
bedies Of his fFiends, some Of whom had
been dead many years. Each individual
hair retained very nearly its original color
and characteristics. One could hardly
think Of more affecting or suggestive relic
Of a departed friend.
A bald man given to melancholy might
very appropriately set apart a section Of
his craniol integument to memorial
hairsp As this transplsnting process
might however, have some influence upon
character, capillary artist going into the
bUsInes should prepare himself By q care

THE REPUBLICAN AND THE
PEuPAE


Our subscription list is increasing more
rapidly than at any other time since the
first month Of the existence Of the REPUB-
LICAE. Every day brings large accessions
to our mailing book, not only in clubs but
individual subscriptions. We intend before
next January to have a larger circulation
than any other paper in the South. Our
WEEKLY is everywhere received with great
favor, and as many Of the terms of sub
scription expire the renewals come in with
very complimentary notices, and protest
atoms from our friends that they would
not be without it, The fact is the people
of this State feel that they want paper
that is ever ready to stand up for their
rights and to advocate their real interests,
regardless of the opposition such advocacy
frequently meets from those who are we'd
ded to old abuses. Such paper IS the
REPUBEIcAN, and the people know it.

THE KU-KLUX KHAN.

This lawless association has been organ
lied in all parts Of this State, and violence
and outrage follow in its track. If it in
creases as rapidly during the next month
nearly every village and place of public
resort in the State will have its representa-
tive Khan.
From reliable source we learn that
some of the obligations taken by the mem
bers Of this society are as follows To en-
force the principles of the Democratic o
party, and the supremacy of white men.
To oppose " Radicalism" and Radicals
in every possible manner-not to associate
with them or th cir families-not to sell
to them anything even for money. To op-
pose the new Constitution and Inc govern
ment organized under it "to the knife, If
necessary" To keep oil Khan or party
secrets, and to stand by the society under
all circumstances. To go to each others
assistance at a moments notice, and to
obey all orders from Khan headquarters.
We are also informed that in the north
ern part Of the State the same defiant and
disifauchised rebels who organized vigil
lance committees in 1861 are now en-
gagged in organizing the Ku-Klux Klans.
Threats are openly made that the organi-
zation Of the State Government, and the
enforcement of the principles Of the new
Constitution will be resisted by force If
necessary; and the incendiary character of
the rebel press is well calculated to en-
courage this idea. It is full time the mill
tary authorities Of this district took prompt
and energetic action to enforce the laws,
and conserve the peace OF the State.

RBTuRFINe eoop SENSE.

The Shreveport Gazette, albeit a rebel
sheet of the straitest sect, has learned
something useful within twelYemonth.
It has learned that the New Orleans Re-
PUBLICAN is truthful paper, an knows
what it talks about. That when we say
thing will come to pass it is pretty sure to
happen We have been sustained in our
predictions too often to be set down among
those who speak merely from the inspira-
ton Of their desires We recently took
occasion to remind the rebel murderers and
outlaws Of Northern Louisiana that there
would be colored militia looking after
them before long if they did not cease
numbering and prosecuting Union men.
We had the very best reasons
for saying this ct the time, and are since
fully confirmed in our belief. The case
seems to have attracted the attention Of the
Gazette. That paper in its last issue eenn-
sells its rebel friends to pause in their mad
career Of violence and murder, and nay
some heed to the laws that public opinion
must sustain civil officers in enforcing
obedience to proper authority. We pub
lish below a few extracts which we hope
will have the desired effect, without com
polling the nex. Legislature to resort to
the extreme measure Of arming and calling
out the ,oyel militia
Those who administer the laws in sais
trying emergency require the moral sup
port of law abiding citizens, and we hone
and trust that in future our city may not be
accused with a class OF privileged roWdias
who feel ct liberty - do as they please and
set things to rights.
The civil authorities must be sustained
ani these selfconstltuted conserYators OF
tn peace can render good service by aiding
civil officers in bringing Violators OF the
law to justice.
The lnetfciency Of the police is a great
evil in this and Other Southern cities. in.
less they receive the support and even CO.
operation Of the citizens, they are power
less. The hGDgars0n around cofeehouses
and street corners are generally in sympathy |
with the rOwdies, and it is considered a |
capital good Joke to defy the police. That |
low and despicabe character bully" re- |
ceives more attention, and can receive
more votes in Q demoraliZed city than a 1
man OF answering integrity and uniform |
courtesy to all.
The remedy, the only remedy,is an impair.
tial and rigid enforcement of the laws. |
Those who are orderly and industrious |
should be protected while outlaws and va
grants, irrespective Of race, should be Sc
Verely punished. We must not lose sight OF |
the fact that governments are constituted |
for the sole purpose Of protection. With |
ample security to psrsonsand property our
country can be prosperous even under our
present Constitution bad as it is. Without
protection TO person and property by law
we are left to the mercy of the dominant
faction, race, or secret political society in
that event the State Government would Or
ganize q black militia force as in Tennessee,
and the very evils which men are now dis
sand fold.

it is not unlikely That the Mlsapp !,
on that subject may have expedited hls
murder. -,
We have learned that the Hon. william
r. Meadows was shot on Friday morning,
the eighth instant, near bis residence in
Claiborne parish, by two men who had
doubtless been watching to assassinate him.
OF course his murderers viii not be an
noyed by the civil authorities of the neigh
borhood, but it is barely possible the
major general commanding may take some
action in the matter. There is hardly a
doubt that Captain Twitchell has also been
murdered, and the lawlessness and barbar-
ity Of the rebels of Bienville parish is well
illustrated by the deed. There was no
more unobtrusive and peaceable gentleman
in the State, and there is no pre.ense that
he was killed for any other than political
causpg
