Man is combative institution, beyond
doubt. Andrew johnson is running fol
Congress in Tennessee, and this proves
our proposition. Andy wants to go to
Congress to fight. His friends want to
send him there to fight. The people ex-
pect nothing but a continual fight if he
gets there. With reasonable people, the
position of Congressman is that of an
agent, and the Representative is supposed
to be all the time looking out for the in
terests of his constituents. But here is a
case in which the people seem 10 be will
ing to surrender all their own interests in
order to facilitate political buffer into a
position where he can do as much injury
to his individual enemies as possible,
without any reference to the evil he in
tlicts on his principals. What would be
thought Of man who hired a clerk and
then allowed him to 60 out fagellating his
own enemies, and annoying the innocent
people passing the store? He would be
considered fool. And yet this is just
what Tennessee is doing with Andy

Now we have a report from Africa that
the diamond mines of the Vaal country
are > prolific in precious stones as Cali
fornih was in gold. In the Hottentot
cour try, say about the twentieth degree OF
south latitude, the river Orange courses
in a southeasterly direction toward the
ocea b, rising up in the hitherto unex-
plored regions of the interior. 1t has
been belief current in this quarter of the
world that the Hottentots did not allow
themselves to be interviewed by strangers
witho pat afterward making meal off
their guests; but it seems that that ire
pres sible tribe known as peddlers have
eithe r been cheating the balance Of man.
kind or they have carried with them
seer 1t charm which preserved them
from the cannibals. At any event
they have penetrated all the
corners of the Hottentot country
trading off the constitutional red blankets
and the regulation beads for ivory and
ostrich feathers. Extending their tour Of
speculation lately up toward the head
wat4 rs of the Orange river, they discov-
cred that the Indians had small diamonds
for sale in the rough. Following up this
disc oyery, they at last discovered that
the4 was zone OF territory where these
gem is were to be found, and still following
the tract they commenced finding the dia-
MOI Ids. This got out among the peddlers,
and great many threw away their packs
and started for the diggings. The news
sprd ad, until all South Africa was alive
The British colony at Cape Town en-
gagged in the investigation, and now it is
reported that the mines are tolerably well
filed with people, and diamonds to the
extent of five millions of dollars have been

stones are scattered about loose in the

had diamonds in it. One stone worth
$50 900 has been picked up. And the hunt
has only commenced.
We give this news for what it is worth.
1t is detailed in the New York World, and
at the conclusion is Geographic dispatch
from London that news had just been re-
ceited at that point confirming the most
exaggerated reports
The readers of the REPUBLICAN, in search
of fortune are not advised to start i'm
me diately for the Orange river, South

to sell their diamonds in view of posi-
bic decline in their value, as people were
advised to sell their gold in 1850, because
it was likely to become valueless Per-
haps the Hottentots are hungry, and have
sta rted this sensation to invite breakfast
in the shape of an adventurer. Let us all |
keep cool. If Africa was made of dia-

TIE GOOD MEDICINE,

Our Democratic friends are nothing
unless they are violent The disease
which has existed here for such length of
time, and which is always threatening to
upset things by an appeal to force, is only
the same disease which now aff1icts the
New York World, when it declares that if
the government attempts to interfere in
the elections in that city, the people will
resist. Here now, is plain proposition.
The South has all the time contended that
Congress was imposing on her, and that
the Republicans were afraid to try the
question Of force in Northern State.
The New York WurId has said the same
thing dozens Of times. We have been
told over and over that the people of the
North were opposed to Federal interfer-
ence in State affairs. Here is test case.
congress has said to New York what she
has said to Louis lana, that the elections
shall be conducted fairly and squarely.
The law authorizes the use of force to ao-
compish this object. United States
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-10-15
DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

New York, the only Northern State held
| by the Democracy, is rapidly increas ing its
| debt. The nation, under Republican
auspices, is rapidly reducing ITS debt
ktlnsas City Journal.
The first proposition of the journal has
bden patent fact ever since the Demo
or tic party had an organization. When
ever government, either State Or na-
tifnal, has been run by the Democracy, q
big debt has usually been the result.
They have usually proceeded with their
e3travagant schemes, and pledged the
public credit as long as it was possible to
set money from capitalists or until the
people became disguised with misrule,
and drove them from office. To
their successors, whether Wings or
Republicans, has fallen the unpleasant
duty of paying the public debt, and the
Democracy have never failed to make all
the capital possible out of the necessarily
increased taxes. A Democrat is pro-
verbally hostile to taxes. He looks upon
it as an invasion of his rights of property.
If in Office, he fears to propose tax lest
he lose his popularity. But the party is
famous for drawing bills on posterity.
Usually, when the Democrats succeed to
power, they find the public credit good
and the facility of obtaining ready money
easy, and never neglect the opportunity to
improve their chance The war of the re-
bellion was waged regardless of cost
But now, when the Republicans are called
upon to pay, the Democrats point out to
the disaffected the high taxes as an evil
dence of Republican extravaganza.
In Louisiana the Democracy have con-
tracted fearful debts, which the Republi-
cans are endeavoring to pay. The authors
Of the wrong tell the people they are
grievously taxed, which is true, but they
omit to state that the blame does not rest
upon the shoulders of the Republican
party. On the contrary, they insist that
it does, and some of the more sanguine
pf them go SO far as to hope to carry the
State on this issue. They hope to reap
the advantages of their own wrong. For
there is hardlya thousand dollars of pub
lie debt either of tho United States or of
this State, which is not chargeable, di-
rectly or indirectly, to Democratic mis-
rule.

A CHANCE FOB ADVENTURES.

Africa seems to be the centre OF a pe-
culiar attraction at present. Many
people are looking, some are thinking,
and few are moving. We all remember
the first announcement that gold had
been discovered in California. There
were very few men that relied on the
news. 1t was a long time before the
world was satisfied that fortunes were be-
ing panned out of the streams and gulches
on the Pacific slope. But belief overlook
the world at last and then the roads and
highways, whether on the sea or on the

soldiers will support the law in New
York as they supported the
law in Louisiana, and if violence is
! offered, New York will suffer Just as New
Orleans would have suffered, if she had
offered resistance. And we prophesy the
| complete success Of the law. The re-
peaters will never dare to raise their
hands against the government. The
rowdies know full well that the law OIL
GERS of the United States will send them
to the jug without mercy or delay. No
straw bail or shystering lawyer will ever
suffice to save them from speedy punish
ment if they attempt to repeat the frauds
that have fed them heretofore. The game
is blocked. The hand that was strong
enough to repress the rowdies in the
South, is strong enough to throttle the
roughs in the North. This thing has
come in its own good time, too. Con-
gress could not do everything at once,
but it disposed of our case before it laid
its hands on the ballot-box suffers of New
York, and Congress intends to go through
with it. If they can not be cured in one
way, they will be met in another. Their
fate is arranged, and it is well that it is So
Politics are becoming mass OF fraud and
force. Men had to buy or fight their way
to preferment. The people were disfran-
chised because it had become both peril
GUS and disgraceful to be seen at the polls.
And the disease had to be cured or the
State had to fall
The same advice is applicable to-day in
New Orleans that suits New York. The
citizen who votes once, and does it legally,
has nothing to fear. The man who at
tempts to vote more than once, or to do
it even once without clear legal right in
his favor, has much to apprehend- The
country has been reconstructed. We have
returned TO the day when the people are to
be supreme, and when elections are to de-
clare an honest result. All good men will
appreciate this conclusion; but the World,
in New York, and the Democrat, in New
Orleans, will regret and resist it to their
sad discontinue.
