ItlllLcu, illQ WHICH ltSluc HitlllH tHe Ititcll
of man, are, il is estimated. greater than
those which guide the earth in its orbit,
more powerful than those which hold the
spheres in their places. So TIE field of dis
cOvcry, though the part that has been eX-
plored appears so vast, is tar from having
been exhausted.
The unknown is ever the lions share,
and therefore our system of education must
be such as to qualify southern youth to en-
ter this field, and to contend bravely with
the best for our part Of that share.
AS an illustration and example which the
knowledge already acquired Is having upon
peoples and their industries. let us turn our
eyes across the waters and fix them upon
England.
1t is not the famine nor the pestilence
that RACES there. Yet there never was such
a cry of distress as is now rising up in that
island from its working classes. Within q
few years the poor rates have risen from
about twenty-seven to nearly forty millions
of dollars year. Rates and numbers are
increasing as they never did, so that now
every eighteenth person in England is rated
as a pauper, and it is admitted that this
eighteenth represents only aSlnall portion
of the distress Of the country.
1t is worthy Of remark that since 1860 the
commerce OF Great Britain his expanded
wonderfully. 1t has reached Il magnitude
and attained proportions never known to it
before: and that merely by bringing into
play upon her industries those physical
forces that science has taught man TO
handle. 49,. '.-..
Still, notwithstanding this increase of the
general prosperity, the distress among her
iaboring classes has never been more wide
spread, though the nation has never had
such vast amount of. surplus products to
spare. ss....-..
What does that mean hut this? AS the
powers of man over the forces of nature
and the properties Of matter are increased
and enlarged, his use for the mere muscular
strength of his fellow, the demand for hui
man bone and sineW without knowledge,
and without the skill which knowledge
gives, becomes less and less. This, how
ever, has been acquired by discoveries o!
new properties of matter, OF new processes
of art, as well us by the application to our
uses of new forces of nature and the lnven.
| ton of labor-saving machinery. The UNI
precedented extent to which British manu-"
| factures have been carried IN these later
years Is, 1t Is said, owing entirely to recent
discoveries in physical science.
| Going back no further than to what has
been done within the memory of living
men, we date all those discoveries which
have made steam, light, electricity, and
magnetism, subservient 10 hG9lan demands.

NOMINATIONS FOB STATE OFFICERS.

The Republican State Convention yes
terday completed its labors, so far as the
nomination of State offices was involved.
Of these there were but two becoming
vacant next fall, that of Auditor of Public
Accounts, vacated by the impeachment
and removal of Wickliffe, and of State
Treasurer, by limitation of the constitu-
ton. The term of the first named which
is to be filled, will have two years to run,
and the Treasurer will, hereafter, hold his
Office for four years.
For Auditor, the convention selected
James Graham, the present incumbent.
He was appointed by the Governor to fill
the vacancy last winter, and the action Of
the convention is an emphatic indorse-
ment of Governor Warmoth's action in
the premises. There are other good men
in the party who were applicants for the
position, and would give undoubted salts
faction. Among others, Captain Charles
H. Merritt was strongly urged for the
place by his numerous friends. He was
the clerk of the late State Senate, and is
young gentleman. of great popularity and
unquestionable ability and fitness. But
the fact that Mr. Graham has already had
several months experience, turned the
scale and gave him the advantage over his
gallant young competitor
James Graham is emphatically the en-
bodiment of Louisiana Unionism and Re-
publicanism. He has resided in this city
since many years before the war, and was
among the first to declare himself for the
national cause in 1862. He is esteemed
an excellent accountant and of long APP
proved integrity and administrative abil-
ity. We can say, without fear Of success
full contradiction, that there is not man
in the State in whom the people who best
know him, place more implicit reliance
than they do in James Graham. He pos
sesses in high and marked degree, all
those qualities by which man is known
as a good citizen and capable and faith
full public servant. His success, of which
we feel assured, will reflect honor and
credit upon the State, and atone for some
unfortunate errors heretofore made by our
party in the days of its inexperience.
Mr.. Antoine Dubuclet, the nominee for
State Treasurer, is the we'll known occu-
pant of the Ioface, having been elected by
the Republicans in April, 1868. He is a
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-08-11

colored man of wealth and education, and
enjoys high reputation for probity. He
is gentleman Of quiet dignity of charac-
ter, and his denomination is simply the
well merited recognition Of his services
by tho great party to which he belongs.
We Can scarcely imagine there is Repub-
ican in the State who will not vote with
a will for Antoine Dubuclet
The action of the convention was char
acterized by great earnestness. There
was nothing cut and dried about it. The
several delegates made the selection solely
with view to the personal fitness OF the
candidates and the best interests OF the
party. The result will be received with
satisfaction throughout the State, and add
to the many claims our party already has
upon public confidence. With such men
as Messrs. Graham and Dubuclet, we shall
go into the contest with the Democracy
with full confidence Of victory.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

There was a diversity of opinion mani
tested upon the street yesterday concern
ing the recent action of the Ship Island
Company detailed in yesterdays REPUB-
LcAN. 1t is only reasonable to suppose
that general acquiescence in the policy
laid down by the new management will
be the result Of more mature considera-
ton. Some of the stockholders would
have been better pleased had there been
nothing more than an assessment in kind,
reducing the volume of the stock from
S1O,0OO,OOO to S1,OOO,OOO without pro-
viding for anything like new issue.
However, the majority thought otherwise,
and have laid down explicitly their course
of operation. Now, if we could only see
something like a beginning upon the
canal, there would be no difficulty in sat-
isfying all present holders.
One hundred shares Of Slaughterhouse
sold yesterday at SIT so, and at another
sale of the same lot SIS was realized.
Subsequently, 200 shares were sold at
SIG so; 100 shares of Mississippi Valley
Levee went at the lofty figure Of So 25.
Seventy-eight hundred dollars in new
State warrants brought 7O4.
Gold ruled all day at about one point
lower than New York rates. New York
prices were as follows: Ten o'clock, 118;
half-past ten, l17S; noon, 1174; three
o'clock, 117s.
Money is tight; sound men are paying
81 per cent month.

MISTAKEN EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY. :

| A serious disturbance occurred at Snel-
byville Illinois, at a hanging match on
| the thirtieth ultimo. We refer to it as
illustrating the need Of executive caution
| in the exercise of the pardoning power
We take it indiscreet pardons proceed
| from timid consciences, or otherwise
stated, weak heads. Executive minds are
| apt to confound themselves with the COM
monwealth, and to forget that the law is
made for them equally. with the con-
demned that they are at one end OF the
string, and the culprit at the other, both
having alike to answer, is not demonstra-
bic, but an obvious demonstration. The
grounds upon which clemency can be
interposed are strictly legal grounds,
and any interposition i'll disregard
of these is an ofense Of a de-
gree, in magnitude, commensurate
with the culprit's, If a governor pardon
wrongfully he commits crime against
society, not hagitous, to be sure, its fail
ing leaning to virtues side, but of a
broader extent than that Of the con-
demned, as it proclaims impunity for like
offenses. He has therefore the two-fold
responsibility Of himself violating law and
of inviting worse men to do SO; of at once
deranging his own relations to the State
and disorganizing society. Hence we say
the weak heart that instigates is hand
maid only to the weak head that performs
these pardons, and the whole philosophy
of the event lies in want of sense.
This is undeniably the lacking
element in Governor Palmer, of Illinois,
whose responsibility in the case referred
to begun with the riot that narrowly es-
capped bloodshed, and will end-no one
knows where. 1t appears murder had
been committed, hagitious enough to ex-
cite popular commotion, for which two men
were convicted and were sentenced to be
hung OF these the sentence of him who
both planned the murder and committed
it, was committed by the Governor. This,
on the day of the hanging, produced a
popular uprising, which had been fore
Swallowed by various manifestations, and
the crowd, beginning with vehement
denunciations of Palmer, ended with an
attack on the Jail, the object of which was
to release the less guilty culprit. Thus
wrong ever seeks to right itself by means
of other wrongs The Jail was defended
by heavy armed force, and the avoid
ance of bloodshed was owing to the expe-
dition with which the uncommuted was
dispatched to the land of shadows, the
people desisting when they learned the
work was done How the executive ad-
justed his mental squeamishness by per-
forming the lesser half of his whole duty
is not important to the moral of our sug-
gestions. We only hold that the con-
science of the individual is never to be
confoupded with that Of the State, in
which alone lies his right Of interference,
he being its guardian in the exercise Of
his administrative functions One who
exercises public trust ignores his own
will, his whole power consisting in defined
duties; and more truly of this than of any
private relations, the Straight course is
the ONLY course.

The following few of the reasons why this
CONCRETE should be used in preference to all
other materials:
l. 1t has been tested through of the hottest Of
New Orleans summers. and found not to soften BY
the heat of the sun.
2. Being in general use at the North il necessa-
rily must be proof against cold
3. 1t is as durable as stone and much Iess exnen
sive.
4. 1t is perfectly impervous to water and consa
quently quickly becomes dry when wet
S. 1t makes no dust in dry or mud in wet wea
ther
g. 1t does not creak or crumble nor is If wasbad
by the rain.
:. 1t is impenetrable to grass weeds or water
8. 1t prevents noxious vapors gases ariJu.
from the ground beneath, and affords no reservo;,s
for filth or fostering decomlOsitions.
g. 1t is laid down quickly, and ready fir MA
when finished.
TO- 1t is easily taken up, easily re.aid and eas,v
repaired when necessary.
