GOING TO THE DOGS,

Because Chicago paper had the frank
ness and intelligence last week to lecture
the business men of that city upon the
want of shrewdness in allowing a few
elevator men to practice dishonest tricks
by selling heated grain, the Picayme
writes it down as fact that Chicago is
going to the dogs. No such thing. The
press of Chicago does not intend
to let Chicago go to the dogs. 1t
is Independent and brave enough
to tell Of danger when it threatens
the interests Of the place, and, instead
Of remaining silent, it publishes and thus
corrects the evil. This is the true mission
of the press, and when newspapers declare
the existence of errors, then We may rest
assured that the community which is Ebe-
raj enough to support such papers is in
very little danger Of going to the dogs.
If New Orleans had been possessed of
press sensible and brave enough to have
made war upon Morgan and his Texas
and Alabama steamship monopolies, New
Orleans would have been further away
from the dogs than she is.

A healthy little game is now in progress,
and the knave is not in the pack, but rests
IN quiet security in the dealers jacket
sleeve. A party of prominent Demo-
Gratis are quietly paying their addresses
to our ''best citizens" with q view, as they
say, to see if the chest citizen will con-
sent to accept place on the Democratic
ticket? The best citizen affirm his will
hngness to accept the situation, and in
order to give evidence Of his willingness
to be crowned, he swears allegiance to the
party. This is the game. The little joker
comes in when the best citizen is nomina-
ted and beaten. He is then condoled with
as to his future chances, and it is sooth-
lngly remarked that having consented to
abide by the action of the convention, good
faith binds him to stand by the successful
candidate. He sees it, and the knave
WINS the game. Perhaps respectable citi-
zens may thank us for the information,
but whether they do or not, we intend
to give it to them, that this thing is being
put up on them,' and they are being
cheated out of their freedom of opinion
just as it is intended to cheat them out of
their votes.

NOT A CASE FOR CONGRESS,

1t Is pointless argument to say that
because thirty-three murders have been
committed in the city of New York, inside
OF three months, Congress ought to re-
construct that State as it did Louisiana
and Georgia, because men We're killed here
and there. Congress did not reconstruct
Louisiana because men were blood-thirsty
and killed one another, but it recon-
structed the State because class Of men
were killed for being class. Congress
would regret to see Smith and Brown en-
gage in the horrible business Of cutting
or shooting each other to death on ac-
count Of some little arrangement in their
accounts, but it would not use its direct
legislative power to arrest the action Of
the community, in its political sense, to
stop the homicide. But when Congress
sees Smith and Brown unite to
kill Jones and Johnson because
they have been invested by Congress with
citizenship, then it steps in and says
that this killing is not the result OF
passion, anger or provocation, but is the
senseless and criminal murder Of men

GOVERNOR wARMoTH.

The organ of this city representing
fought out and dead issues, much exor-
cised about Governor Warmoth's reputa-
ton in New York, is distressed since the
Sun of that place published the refutation
of trumped up charges of some man in
the dark, who signs himself Metairie.
This pro-slavery organ, the Bulletin, be-
trays much anxiety lest this refutation
should appear in other newspapers in that
part of the country, and labors under an
impression, affected or real, that personal
efforts are being made to bring this
about. Without being in the confidence
Of Governor Warmoth, We take on our
selves to say that he is occupied with
much more important business than
spending bis valuable time in thinking
about the newspaper attacks Of disap-
pointed boilers Or slavery Democrats.
The attitude of the Governor in this re-
spect is digniied. He is DESTROYS of the
good opinion of honest men, and is in
different to that of partisan demagogues
and rogues His public acts are always
open to investigation, and he is always
ready to defend them. He is not thin
skinned The fires of Democratic vitu-
peration have tempered him to the invul-
nerable point. He WAS a Republican
when it was no child's play to ask for the
suffrages of the people in this State, and
this experience has made Of him, while
still young, veteran but little susceptible
to attacks from stump or press.
As one of the pioneers of the anti
slavery movement in Louisiana, when
they risked their lives in the struggle,
these accusations of scurrilous journal
must seem to him, indeed, very petty
warfare.
We have no desire to bespatter mud
with the Bulletin, or follow it into the
mire in which it habitually wallows, but
if it or any .other journal will make a
specific charge against the chief magis-
trate of the State, couched in proper Ian
guage, the REPUBLICAN will at once
respond

a" VICTORY'S TRUMP

During the p@ans Of exultation now
being sounded by the Democratic organs
here and elsewhere, over their anticipated
political victories, would it not be well for
them to bear in mind the old adage con-
corning the disappointment attendant on
their incubation?
E. G.-The Round Table, professedly an
organ maintaining strict and impartial
neutrality during the recent Presidential
contest, gave an exhibit of the way the
election was "sure to CO." giving a
Democratic majority of about thirty
electoral votes. The college, however,
failed to confirm the oracle, and it is
imagined that the bases for the elegant
superstructure of Democratic victories
has been made from similar veracious and
infallible calculations.
Take for instance, as a refutation, the
ensuing city election-in what do the
Democrats repose their hopes for victory?
In colored votes? They forget that Fort
Pillow, ETC., is in military history, and the
''unpleasantness' of st. Charles and Dry
AIDES streets in '66, and the method of
settling differences in political opinion in
6S, remain too wildly impressed upoa
the memory Of colored citizens. In white
votes? The faithful and economical civic
administration now in session would
deter any thinking and considerate man
from seeking to restore the reign Of mis-
rule from which we have so recently
escaped.
On what grounds, then, do they estab-
ish their Arcadia? Most probably upon
their hopes for the gullibility of voters by
their abundant promises. To wit: E.
Brown-commonly known as Edmund
more properly designated "Done Brown, u
and latterly shown to be Mystery
Brown; the carefully WORLDLY pledges,
gushing with promise to the colored race.
full Of ardor for his advancement-re
ligious, political, etc. 1t is truly a matter
Of wonder that this superabundance of
affection should, by any possibility, have
been so long pent up, but at last the food
has swept DER all obstacles, and we be-
hold the cheerful spectacle of the Demo-
cratic father weeping on the neck Of the
prodigal Brown, and shedding wink of
Joy in fond anticipation Of his being
fatally gulled. Unfortunately, there have
been inserted in this balloon of affection
too many pins Of criticism. eve have re-
liable information that Hatch has not yet
given up the ship, but will brace round
on another tack.
There need be no fear on the part of
Democratic partisans but that any votes
that can be secured by promises will not
remain uninfuenced, but the Republi-
cans can rest assured that the igaus .fatius,
like goals heretofore held out to aspirarts
after position, have been too freely bitten
at already; and, as will be efectually
proven in the ensuing election, it will be
seen that no intimidation, threats,
promises, or campaign documents similar
to General Hatchs little efflorescence, will
prevent a sweeping Radical Republican
victory. Then who will 'toot'?

An innocent itinerant correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial is afraid the
big spirit in the Democratic party in Ken
lucky will impair the future usefulness
of the Democracy. Did this man base his
estimates on the whisky tax, or on the re-
turns from the distilleries? If on the tax,
that can be abolished; if on the returns,
they may be incorrect. An actual measure
ment Of the stomachic capacity Of the
Kentucky Democracy is the only safe
text upon which a calculation of its future
usefulness can be predicated

The great West is alive with camp
meetings. The Rev Mr.. Matlack, preach
ing at Ames Chapel, on Sunday night,
stated that he had just returned from Ohio
and Indiana, and that he had the pleasure
while there of attending four of these great
Methodist gatherings at neither of which
were there fewer than five thousand people
in attendance, and at one of them, four
preachers, on different stands, addressed
ten thousand earnest and attentive listen
ers. 1t has been a season Of great religious
activity, and all the people seem to be
awak ening from the apathy which has over
cast the Methodist church for few years
past.
Well, if we can not have camp-meetings,
we are not neutral, but can point to our
base ball and fremen's picnics, as certain
evidences Of our success on the other side.
Sunday is not left without attention. The
best preacher in the land can not beat us
getting up bout on any Sabbath he may
select, and we can give him the advantage
of good church on rainy day. just let
us get out our brass band and our red shirts,
and see if We can not then cut and
completely fax the best regulated church. or
the most commendable society that ever
yet set up its tent in Louisiana.

from the New York Tribune:
The cotton crop of our country for 1869

fall below four million bales. This pros
