eEcRUJ7S FOR THE GALLOWS

The Citizens Association say there are thirty
thousand children in this city growing up IN
Ignorance and idleness, with moral certainty
of becoming vagabonds and criminals. Whose
children are they Who are the fathers and
mothers that toss their offspring into the street
as they would surplus kittens. and puppies, to
shift for themselves, to steal or starye, or die
as fate DEGREES We hold the owner OF dog
responsible for the care and due restraint OF
the animal we arrest and summarlly punish the
man who turns brute out to starve. But when
a heartless villain of parent abandons child
to the pitiless street, booming fellow human
being to misery, disgrace, and crime, where is
our Society for the Protection of Animals for,
indeed, these poor children are almost as com
pletely animals as the horses that haul the
street cars These derelict Iparents will per-
haps have a settlement to make at another
bar but the jurisdiction is rather too far away
for present satisfaction. What we want Is
the practical demonstration of the obvious
truth that parents are responsible for the
physical and moral care of their offspring; that
to cast girls and boys upon the streets, or to
permit them to grow up in idle vagabondage
of their own volition, is crime against socie-
ty that ought not to be and will not be per-
mitted to 20 unpublished. We speak only
of the duty of parents to society, OF their OBJ
legation to protect Others from the half human
creatures launched by their neglect or de-
sign upon city already reeking with
crime. OF their duty to their offspring
and the stings of conscience that must torment
such parents, when they learn that their outcast
children have brought up in the State Prison
or on the gallows, nothing need be said. Re-
morse is a terrible punishment, but its lessons
always come too late; they will not save one of the
thirty thousand poor children now taking their
first degrees in misery and crime. The solemn
responsibility of parents cannot be overesti-
mated; and it is quite time that those who ig-
more such responsibility should be brought to
q proper regard for their duty by summary
means.

According to our Washington dispatches
there is another side to Gen. HancOck's story
of the removal of the New Orleans COuncilmen.
A messenger has arrived in Washington
to represent the true state of the case. 1t ap-
pears that the seven members of the Council
removed comprised all the colored members of
the Board, and that the alleged violation of the
order regarding elections was not without ex-
cuse or precedent.

We see, by reference to the doings of the
Legislature, an attempt is being made to re-
move Genesee College from Lima Livingston
County. TO the City of Syracuse. This college
has acquired a fair reputation, and is in the
midst of a growing and numerous population,
where, it appears to u.s. it is needed, to meet
the increasing demands for the higher privileges
of education. As several colleges are located
near Syracuse, we doubt the policy of rObbing
the West to increase the number OF those that
are more central in the State. If we are cor
rectly informed, the plan of endOwing Genesee
College was by issuing, for each elOO, per-

There seems to be some fatality hanging over
Mr.. Johnson's conferences with the Generals of
the Army. There is now Misunderstanding !"
between him and Gen. Sherman as to views
expressed by the latter in conversation with the
President concerning the erection of a new mill
tary district and the compliment of being bre-
vetted General. Mr.. johnson says he certainly
thought the General was "willin'p But the
dispatches which Senator Sherman has received
from his brother, repudating the Presidents lure,
show that there is almost as vexatiOus a " mis-
understanding" here as in Gen. Grants case.

The old Corporation Manual swindle was
revived in the Board of Councilmen on Satur-
day If the resolution passes the Board of
Aldermen without prOviso that the printing
be awarded to the lowest bidder, our taxpayers
will undoubtedly bleed to the extent of $4,000.
The Boards contemplate printing four OF FIVE
times as many copies of the Manual as hereto
fore, and the figures are more likely to exceed
$4,000 than fall below that sum. The season
of "fat jobs" is evidently at hand.
New-York tribune., 1868-02-17

The Netp- York Times congratulates THE TRIB-
UNE upon not having DETAINED Gen. Grant
for two OF three days We are not aware
of ever defaming" Gen. Grant. We GER
tainly have never followed him. We follow
nobody. We have criticised him whenever we
felt he deserved criticism; we have praised
him when he did well; and, what is more
than The Times can say, with all its pretended
devotion to his cause, we defended him when
his honor was assailed. We make no special
merit Of this; but it is singular that the one
newspaper which is preeminently not Grant
"journal,n and which does not advocate his
claims to the Presidency, should have been the
only paper to fairly and squarely defend him
in the recent correspondence with johnson,
and make the case upon which his defense
now rests. This, perhaps, is what The Times
calls defamation. We call it indenendent
journalism This also brings the thought which
often comes to us. The bigotry, partisanship,
and injustice which we see 80 often in party
journals constantly wastes their usefulness.
Take The Times and The World for instance.
The one is a feverish, flippant, indecent imi-
tation of Brickn Pomeroy-a type of the school
best known as Chimney-Sweep Journalism.
The other never seems to forget that its editor
once attended the Philadelphia Convention,
and treats all questions with kind of gouty
impartiality, swearing at everybody one-half
the time, and at itself the other half. 1t is
utterly impossible for such papers to discuss
public questions intrepidly, because they have
80 narrowed their usefulness that the only at'

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-02-27


The election in New Hampshire for state
officers will be held on the second Tues
day of March, little more than TIVE
weeks hence. The canvass is very active
on both sides. The Democrats are making
vigorous exertiOns by the fundamentally
of some of their most INSCRIPTIONS speak
ers to change last years result in that
state, when the vote was $500 Repub-
lican, and 1861 Democratic. Then the
Republican majority was 1852, the oppo.
sition gaining l4G4 on the vote of 1866.
The Democratic speakers are desperate
and reckless, and make no ceneealment Of
the purposes and policy of that party, or
apology for the disloyal record of its lead
ers in that state during The perileus days
of the war for the maintenance of the
Union. One Of these speakers thus ex-
pressed himself only few days ago, when
addressing a political meeting, composed
mainly of men who were hostile to the war
policy of the late President Lincoln and
the patriotic congress that sustained him,
Here are bis words:
If I could have my way I would place
JEFF Davis in congress. where he rightfully
belongs then would go to Concord, take
all those miserable battlefags from the
statehouse and make bonfire of them in
the statehouse yard; then 1 would 20
all through the North and destroy all the
monuments and gravestones erected to the
memory of soldiers in short, would put
out Of sight everything which reminds us
that we ever had war with our Southern
brethren. do net know as would hang
one-legged and one-armed soldiers, but
would pray to God to get them ont Of our
way as soon as possible.
Every mail from the North strengthens
our conviction that at the approaching
election the Republican majority of 1867
will be materially increased, and that the
loyal people Of New Hampshire whe have
flung the Grant banner to the breeze will
sustain by their votes the patriotic men by
whose side thousands of her gallant sol.
diers fought through long war to conquer
armed disloyalty.

THE AGE CLAUSE.

Cur readers will observe by the report
of yesterdays proceedings that the cOnven-
ton has administered an effectual quietus
to the plot to injure Judge Warmoth which
has been in process of Matching for some
weeks past. Considering the vote of sixty
three to thirteen, it must be admitted that
the bantling was dispatched very neatly
and clearly, and without anything like
haggling especially if we bear in mind
that six or more of said thirteen will prob
ably refuse to sign the constitution at all,
and one of them is reported to have said
that he could and would defeat its ratiii-
cation" Now if the alley folks brains
were clear of the fumes of spleen, envy, and
rage of being baeild, they would find in
this rebuke from the convention very
wholesome bitter; they would be-
come sensible that in their persistent
efforts to break down the leader
of the state ticket, at the expense
of dividing and disorganizing the Repub-
lican party of the state, they are pursuing
not only criminal but a stupid and
| laundering course. That in all the little
games of this sort the respect and affec-
ton of the people for Judge Warmoth are
as trumps in his hand to capture every
card they may play. This late blunder
of theirs, for example, in attempting,
desperately, at the last hour, to alter The
age qualification of the governor of the
state was gross and palpable. How could
they expect body representing the people
to sacrifice the strongest man in the party
before that people merely to crafty
jealous, vindietive, boiling few. No; the
convention in its action on this age clause
has stood by and defended Judge
Warmoth for the same reason that
the people will support and protect him.
because he is good and true man, wise
and able one; because wherever he has
been placed he has always done his duty
CALAMITY, resolutely, and consistently; be-
cause his character is pure and his life
blameless; because in short, he has the
qualities to command peoples love and
respect, and that people will stand by the
man who has stood by them through storm
and sunshine, through evil and good re-
pute, and will by no means allow his use
falness to be lost, or his prospects sacrificed,
because he happens to be no older than
were many of the foremost warriors and
statesmen in history, from Alexander to the
first Napoleon, from Pericles to William
Pitt in the days Of their most memorable
achiauennnnts

TURTHGR REI1EP WANTED.

Now that General Hancock has taken
measures which will partially relieve tho
state treasury from its embarrassments, we
hope he viii follow up his action by an
order to relieve the city from most
grievous and unjust burden. In con-
sequence of the unwarranted suspension Of
the taxes for the years 1862, 1868, 1864,
and 1865, by the legislature Of 1861, the
city council Of the first half of that year,
which was recklessly extravagant, issued a
very large amount Of city money-the pre-
else sum Of which is not known, but is sup
posed to be about tive and half millions
Of dollars-none Of which has yet been
redeemed, nor can it be until these
suspended taxes are paid. As a
natural result Of this over issue. city
notes are at discount of from ten to fifteen
per cent. An order directing the payment
of these suspended taxes at once would
enable the treasurer to call in and cancel
more than one million Of dollars of this
deprecated currency before the first Of
July, and would at the same time appre-
ciate its present market value to something
experimenting par. Nearly all this i'm
mense volume Of currency is in the hands
of the people Of New Orleans. The eoun-
try people, however much they may have
preferred city money to greenbacks during
the war, have nov that the same reasons no
longer exist thrown it out altogether, and
will have none Of II. 1t has, therefore, all
been thrown upon the city, where it is a
drug,
