A CaIunny Rebuked.

In an editorial article which appeared
in this paper last week, we saw proper to
refer to the withdrawal of Gen. Potts as
the removal candidate for Assembly. The
writer of that article has known Mr..
Potts longer and more intimately than has
the editor of the Tribune. We made no
charge nor even the slightest insinuation
against the private character or personal
standing of Gen. Potts. We could not
do so even if we would, and no man who
has an ordinary comprehension of the
meaning of lc0ras would so construe our
remarks. We Go not assault any mans
private character, but we toU attack his
position on any local or political question.
The old adage, that ''where ignorance is
bliss tits folly to be WISE" is peculiarly
applicable to the Tribune in this instance
lie asserts that in our reference to the
declination of Gen. Potts, we charged
crime against him. Was CRIME ever
imputed to Gen. Potts, either in this coun
ty or elsewhere We know that it never
was and would we be SO silly, not to say
utterly and criminally reckless, as to
charge it against him noe? We are inca
pable of doing so, and scorn the imputa-
ton. The sentence from our article,
which the Tribune quotes as the basis of
his unfounded and ungentlemanly allega-
ton against US, had reference purely and
exclusively TO political considerations, as
the controlling reason for The withdra wal
Of Gen. Potts from the canvass. 1t wo uld
be so understood by every man of ordina~
ry intelligence who is not gifted with the
1rt6nnc's bad propensity purposely to
misconstrue the plain and obvious mean
ing of the language of a political oppo-
nent. We repeat, that for James Potts,
as man and citizen, we always did
and always will entertain feeling of hon>
est respect and sincere regard. Let Gen
Potts, if be needs defender, secure the
services of some other person than the
veracious editor of the Jobns;own Tribune

FROM ST. BERNARD.

Endorsement of the Platform and NOmi-
nees Of the Republican State Conven-
tiOn.
We are indebted to L. Guichard. presi-
dent, and F. r. Guichard, secretary of the
First Ward Republican Club. OF St. Ber-
nard, for the following copy of resolutions
adopted on the thirteenth:
WHEREAS, We have recently had con-
vened in the city of New Orleans a Repub-
Hcan State Convention. composed of men of
intelligence and Of undoubted Republican
ism : and
Whereas, The nomination of James Gra-
ham for State Auditor, and Antoine Dubu-
clet for State Treasurer, and our tried
friend General j. II. Sypher for the First
Congressional District, proves the proceed
ings of the convention were characterized
by the utmost good for the interest of the
people of this State, and for the Republican
party in general; therefore, be it
Reso!red, That the First Ward Radical
Republican Club Of st. Bernard does in
dOrse the platform as set forth in the reso-
lutions adopted by the State convention,
believing that they contain the true and
fundamental principles Of the Republican
party, both State and national; be it
Res0lced, That we support the nominees
made by the convention. and that we
pledge ourselves to use all our influence to
insure their election.
ReSOlred, That a copy of these resolutions

parish for their consideration and adop-
ton, and a copy to the New Orleans Re-
PUBLICAN for publication.

ADVICE GRATIS.
From the New York Tribune. /


A State convention of colored men is
called to meet at Saratoga on the sixteenth
instant. As one who wishes well to their
race in common with all other men, we vol
unteer the following hints to said convention
and it's constituents:
l. Never resent nor deprecate the appli-
cation to yourselves of the term negroes. 1t
means only that you are, in contradistinc-
ticn to your fellow citizens, black; and that
is the literal fact. 1t is in your power to
make the designation one of honor and
pride by simply behaving better than other
men-which can not be very difficult Let
who will call You negroes in welcome, so
that you prove yourselves true men,
= Be far more anxious to give your sons
good trades than to push them into office
Office is unstable and feeting, while trades
are enduring.
s. Don't waste your scant means in start
ing distinctive organs, or getting up negro
churches, where you are allowed equal priv
ileges with others in existing journals and
churches If you are excluded from these,
You must of course act and speak for your
selves
4. Warn your people against spending
too large share of their earnings on fine
clothes, dancing, drinking, and other
modes of sensual qualification If they
had saved half the money they have thus
Wdsteu, tuey Heeu now ask 1aV0rS OF no
man.
5. Turn your attention largely to the cul-
tivation of the soil; it is your fathers call
ing, and you can succeed in that if in any
thing. Earth, air and water are as free and
as bountiful to you as to others; you might
settle whole counties if you would, and thus
choose your own neighbors and manage
your own schools. Don't say you lack
money, for nine-tenths of the pioneer set
tiers of all lands have been quite as needy
as you are; but take hold and hew out for
yourselves farms and homes from the public
domain or elsewhere.
6. Wait and serve, shave and black boots
while you must, and never doubt that any
kind of useful though humble industry is
preferable to idleness and dependence; but
DO not accept this as your inevitable des-
tiny. Plan and save while you are in it to
get out SO sopn as possible, and never rest
I'LL you live in your own houses and till
your own farms.

The Washington Republican says:

Business on all government cotton cases
has been brought to stand-still by the
changes deemed necessary to comply with
the new law organizing the Department Of
Justice. There are 737 of these cases, and
work upon the portion in hand, nearly half
the number as been going actively forward
for two years. About forty were disposed
Of at the last term of the Court of Claims,
and number were ready for trial. The
reorganization has, however, thrown out
every one heretofore engaged upon these
matters, even down to clerks who were
familiar with the records, and all the briefs,
in whatever state of preparation, have been
put in the hands Of new men. These will
know nothing of the evidence or special
history OF the individual cases, except what
can be learned from the examination Of a
room full Of papers turned over by the re-
firing counsel. These suits involve about
SIS. .000, 900.

Base Ball.

The Crescents beat the - champion :"
Southerns by score of nine to six in four
inning game, at the Fair Grounds, on Sun
day, at the picnic given by Trad Ferry
Steam Engine No. II. The Southerns were
one player short, and had in majority of
their first nine players, viz: Hennessy,
Donavan, Winn. Keefe, Benton, and Bud
dendOrf, and the two others were second
nine players. Had the Crescents been out
with their full team, the Southerns would
have had a harder time to travel to get
around the bases. Frank McElroy, of the
Lone Stars, officiated as umpire.
The Crescents previously played game
with the Pelicans, but the former being too
much for the red legs, they left the field in
disgust, the stage of the game at the fourth
inning being l3 to in favor of the Cres-
cents.
In game played on Sunday between the
Fashions and the Morning Stars, the former
won by the following score:

form ward clubs to render efficient their
services in the cause of freedom. and enable

German character and sympathizes with
our cause and maintains our interests.
Resotred, That we, as German American
KepuDlcans, express our sympathy with
our brethren in the old fatherland, and
hope their exertions for liberty and unity
be crowned with success.
ResOlred, That in the distribution of Off

The Cause of the War.

A letter from well-known American in
Berlin, on intimate terms with the Govern
ment of the North German Confederation,
furnishes the information that the proposi-
tion to place the Prince of Hohenzollern on
the throne Of Spain was purposely concealed
by that Prince from King William for some
time, but when that monarch was consulted
the project received prompt and unquai-
fed disapprobation, the King arguing that
considering the peculiar temperament Ofthe
Spanish people such proceeding will proba-
bly, be second Maximilian affair, resulting
in the loss Of the Princes head The writer
further says the King held these views up
to the time the French Government made q
peremptory demand through b Benedetti for
an explanation. Nothing but the tone and
manner in which the demand was made and
afterward followed up by him for guaran-
tees prevented further reference to the sub
iect by the King

Fire at the Crescent SlaughterhOuse-An.
other Attempt.

Last night, between ten and eleven
o'clock, another attempt was made to fire
the buildings of the Crescent Slaughter
house in Algiers, which, as on the former
occasion, was frustrated.
This time the attempt was made at the
western end of the cattle pens. The in
cendiaries had prepared, by putting a great
quantity of coal oil. mixed with turpentine
along the ratings and posts to the extent of
near one hundred feet, quantity of the
same combustible was poured across the
street, and fired, when it at once set the
fence and posts in flame.
However, the secretary Of the Slaughter
house, residing on the right bank, had re-
ceived private information that the at
tempt would be made. At the time he was
at some distance. He reached the works
barely soon enough to give the alarm, but
not quick enough to detect the incendiaries.
From the information given, clue is in the
hands of the police. and there is little doubt
that the parties to this attempt will be
caught.
