ers Ia pslPable misnomer-that they
would only hasten death.
Our weil-known fellow citizen DR.. Ross
vally, the Washington papers inform us,
has invented a genuine proserver OF life
against drowning in the shape of suit of
clothing which enables the wearer to dis
port in or walk upon the water without the
slightest danger of sinking, or even getting
wet The invention has been thoroughly
tested in the presence of distinguished
government officials, the Navy Department
placing a vessel at the Doctors service for
the experiment. The wearers of the suits
spraDg or were pushed overheard into the
Potomac, and demonstrated beyond cavil
that the merits of the preserver had not
been overrated. In fact, game OF base
ball on the sparkling bosom of Chesapeake
Bay is in contemplation, and ere long we
may expect that aquatic foot races will
become popular sport.
OF course this invention will be put to a
thousand useful purposes in time; but Con-
gress ought to pass a bill Immediately re-
curing every vessel to procure full sup
ply, and refuse clearance to any and all
neglecting to comply. Collectors of ports
and other government officials might be
given some discretionary power, but the
only valid excuse for non-enfOrcement of
the law should be the impossibility of OBJ
tanning the life-preservers at the place
where the vessel might be. 1t would not
be necessary to give DR.. ROssvally mo-
nopOly; but let any equally good Invention,
which had been tested and approved by
the navy department, say, enter into COM
petition. It's the highest duty of gov
eminent to protect the lives of its citizens.
We hope Congress will do its duty in this
resnnct

PRESS TBLBGRAMs,

The Associated Press reports, as they go
forth from Washington, are entirely lacking
in that impartial tone which would render
them as news summaries SO important to
the daily journals of the country. Before
giving credenee to any of the statements
which now appear the reader in selt-de-
tense is forced to make an estimate whether
it would pay an interested party to bride
the news agents to lay the subject matter
before the country in the exact shape
in which it is published. If no motive for
such course can be OWNED, the dispatch
may be believed, provided sufficient allow
ance is in all cases made for the apparently
irresistible impulse on the part of the
press agents to get as far away from the
truth as circumstances will admit Of.
A telegram which appeared in the even
ing papers yesterday states fact which is
Of importance to the entire American ma
ton. The House committee appointed to
ascertain whether the acquittal of Presi-
dent johnson was acquired by corrupt
means has made its report. 1t is very
natural to suppose that an agent who is
paid by the combined press of the country,
irrespective of political leanings, would
extract the leading facts of such docu-
ment and allow the subscribers Of the asso-
citation to comment thereon according to
their several judgments and views. But
such is not the plan pursued. Instead of
facts, the individual opinions of this Wash
ington newsmonger are sent over the
wires, and he CURLY and coolly sums up the
two months labor Of several of our great
est statesmen by saying; "The amount Of
dirt thrown is amazingly
So long as the Democrats pay well for
corrupting this once useful news agency,
we have no hope for relief from such out
RACES as the dispatches published in this
issue Of the REPUBLICAN present; but still
we enter our protest. In doing SO we have
no expectation of effecting reform, but
merely desire to satisfy our readers that
the editor of this paper must, in no degree,
be held responsible as an indorser of what
appears in the telegraphic department Of
the paper under tie line Associated Press
Dispatches"

THE PnnRrH OF lilly.

This is the ninety-second anniversary of
an event which was for more than eighty
years the most important and interesting
in the history of the United States. And
although the stirring scenes Of the past
seven years have relieved the nations birth
day Of that elevated prominence itonce en-
joyed, it is still justly regarded as the first
in dignity in our political calendar 1t re-
ceiVed additional lustre by the decisive
victories of Vicksburg and Gettysburg,
both of which occurred on or near that
day. But, attached as the people of this
city are to the patriotic associations of
the Fourth of July, they have recently been
absorbed in matters of more pressing inter
est, and have not had leisure to prepare
for its proper celebration in the usual style.
One branch of the Legislature, impressed
with the Importance Of time, has decided to
hold session to-day. The city papers, in
view of the fact that the succeeding day is
Sunday, have not prepared for the custom
airy suspension of their respective issues,
and many others of our citizens will follow
their ordinary avocations.
The customhouse Offices, city Offices,
banks, insurance companies, ETC., will,
however, be closed, and the several EN-
ployes spend the day in such excursions or
amusements as may suggest themselves as
being appropriate.

The act Of Congress determining the time
for election of Senators in Congress pro
vides that in case of vacancy the Legis.
lature shall proceed on the second Tues
day after the commencement and organiza-
tiOn Of the session to choose Senators to
fill the vacancy or vacancies.
Under this law. when shall our Legisla-
ture choose Senators to fill the vacant seats
of Louisiana?
We believe that Tuesday, the seventh
instant, is the proper date on which to en-
ter upon the election as contemplated I'M
der the law. -
An organization of legislative body is
effected when a quorum of that body
choosing its officers resolves itself into an
effective working organization.
The present Legislature did this when it
elected Hon. r. II. Isabelle as temporary
chairman, appointed committees, and en-
tered on business.
Tuesday, the seventh ofJnly, will he the
second Tuesday thereafter, and doubtless
on that day, in compliance with the stat
ute, the Legislature will inaugurate pro-
ceedings looking to the complete investi-
ture of our State in its rights and repre-
sentatioh as sovereignty in the Union.
Arkansas, hasty m its approaches to the
lopg-forsaken national council, did not
wait for full compliance with this law, but
stonce on the meeting Of its Legislature
chose its Senators in joint convention, and
the Senate Of the United States, regarding
the enactment of Congerss as only directory,
admitted the Senators elect without demur
Florida followed in these lately marked
footsteps, and at once not only provided
for existing vacancies, but anticipated an
ether. a1I z9,.2-e 7flL ial
Il being settled from and by the above
preeedents that Tuesday of next week is a
safe day for legal procedure in this matter,
We trust it may be entered upon and CON
cluded at once.
Until 1t be done, we can hardly expect
the Assembly to settle to the hard work Of
the session, and the material interests Of
tie State certainly need for their advance
nasnt their proper representatives in the
balls Of Congress at the earliest possible
day.

A spEntAL. DIsPATOH,

As an illustration of the peculiar style of
special dispatches from this city to the rebel
papers of Mobile and ether Southern cities,
we copy the following extract from one
dated here July /, and signed "Tom":
As it was understood that the Democratic
members of the Legislature, in accordance
with the instructions from General Grant,
would insist on taking their seats today,
large numbers of negroes assembled around
the Institute before the hour of meeting,
threatening serious outbreak.
As there was no refusal TO admit the
Democratic members who could qualify,
there was no occasion for them to insist on
taking their seats. And furthermore if they
had insisted ever SO strenuously, there
would have been no necessity for "large
numbers Of negroes to assemble around
the Institute before the hour of meeting,
threatening a serious outbreak" for, as
there were at least twenty-five Republican
Senators and only twelve or fourteen
Democrats, the former were fully match
for the latter either on vote or in melee.
But there was very large crowd of men
Cd Canal street, few, il any, of whom were
colored, or would thank "Tom'' for calling
them negroes" Many of these men were
recognized by thereporters of the press, who
wrote in their evening papers that they
were white citizens with lowering brows,
who only awaited the slightest incident to
lash themselves into violence. At the time
this was written there were fears on the
part Of one party and hopes on that of the
other that there would be riot; but as the
day passed away, and the crowd of "lower-
ing faces' skunk one by one to their respect
i've holes and corners in the slums of the
city, and the expected uprising of the
people" began to show unmistakable evil
dences of a fzzle, these veritable re-
porters, and "Tom" likewise, made
the discovery that the crowd Of
armed, angry, threatening rowdies were
all negroes, and that white men had gener-
ally remained at home attending to their
business. Such is the veracity Of modern
reporters for the Democratic rebel press,
The truth is not man, woman, or child
in all the limits of this city had reason to
fear or did fear an act of violence from
one or all of the cOlored people. Every
body, tom" included, kne,o there was
no danger to be appre lended from them.
