CRIME.

Notwithstanding the great crime of
slavery has been wiped from the land by
the Republican party, an effort IS being
made by some Of the friends of the Lost
Cause to prove that in doing this the Re
publican party has been guilty Of destroy
ing the rirtuonS sentiment Of the country.
We were prepared to hear that the crimes
committed in the South since the war by
white men have been the result of the
policy of the government, but did not e2.
pect TO hear them excused rs right ON the
ground that it is The "nature Of man to
hate and be avenged on those who make
war on his rights and dignity We deny
that there ever was any right or dignity in
slavery, or that in making war upon
slavery the government necessarily
made war or the right or dignity
Of any man. We were prepared
to hear the most bitter impreca-
lions uttered against the government, so
long as the Republican party was in
power, by such men as believe that the
progocatioa to lawlessness has been great,
! because the policy Of the government has
been 10 crush out rebellion. even at the
expense OF slavery, and reconstruct the
States, upon a thoroughly loyal basis, that
| had attempted to fight their way out of
| the Union. But We must confess we were
| totally unpreparcd TO hear, even from the
lips OF the most reckless of those who
think revenge sweet, that the virtuous
sentiment Of the country had been
destroyed, and that our people, regard
less Of party or previous condi-
| tion, were or the verge Of eternal damna-
ton. This is startling indeed. Startling,
not because there istruth in the statement
that tie virtuous sentiment OF the country
had been destroyed, but because there Is
one single Individual so lost to that sense
of Justice and right, so Wrapt IN preJudlce
and revenge, as to blindly and falsely slug
maize whole people, merely that he may
have the satisfaction of saying that the
crime he has charged them with belongs
to the Republican party. A man who
can thus write-if LIE belongs to the coun-
try whose virtuous sentiment he asserts
has been destroyed-must feel himself in
cluded among those who are thus degraded
and lost in crime. If this is really the
country that such men write it down to
be, and the people are bad as rule, and
crime as rule covers the land, why then
we are IN sad condition and the sooner

we are taken under the wing of some
Christian power, that can civilize aud re-
deem us from the terrible fate that such
conduit brings, if persisted in, the better.
But we are inclined to think our people
Will not plead guilty TO this Wholesale
charge against their virtue and ciVlIlza-
ton; that they will be Inclined
to view that man either as mad
man or a bad man who could serl-
ously charge that the virtuous sentiment
of this country could be destroyed, not to
say that it had been destroyed, and that
its normal condition, at thepresent time Is
one Of corruption and crime. Il IS well
enough to cry out against crime, Ia order
that crime may be punished and sup
pressed as far as possible, but when the
cry of crime is raised against people aud
government, by few men who would
make the acts of government an excuse
Tor the perpetration of horrible crimes on
the part of men opposed to the govern
ment, we hold il to be the duty of every
honest Journalist to speak out il defense OF
the country. and against its calumm =
tors and enemies. 1t is high time
| that groundless and vulgar attacks on the
| President anG members Of his cabinet and
members of Congress ceased. Political
parties can not hope to profit by such
course. TIE people are too Intelligent
| not to see through such conduct and hurl
| back the foul SANDERS OF a partisan press
upon the heads of the men who have IT.
vented and sent them forth. If Federal
| or State officially has really committed
crime, let them be arraig ned IN proper
| lawful way and tried for the otfense.
But do not let the whole country
| be made to suffer under the
| infamous charge made by the political
enemies of party in power that the viz
| tuous sentiment Of the country has become
destroyed. and that the people and gov
eminent are nothing better than brutes
| murderers and robbers: and that this Is
| the crime OF the Republican party. ID
wiping out the great crime Of slavery,
when it raised its criminal head against

foul crime was perpetrated that called
for vengeance; and the smaller crimes
that have deluged the country since the
| close of the war has mostly been to graft

Annexation or consolidation has given a
new impetus to the demand for real estate,
both building lots and residences, in the
Garden District Of New Orleans which now
not only embraces the Fourth District, but
includes what before was Jefferson City,
Burtheville, Huntsville, Bloomingdale and
Greenvilie. Property is advancing rapidly,
and already is worth twenty-five per cent
more than prior to the passage Of the act
extending the upper limits Of New Orleans.
Now is the time to invest in unimproved
lots or private residences.

VAIN EFFORTS,

The new Administrators were IN con-
suItation last night upon matters relating
to their municipal duties. The lobbies
and steps of the City Hall were throHged
with large crowd of we'll dressed peo-
pie, eagerly intent on obtaining positions.
Most of them appeared to be blessed with
strength and intelligence that would adapt
them for useful places in private life, as
farmers, gardeners, mechanics. merchants
and the like There is not patronage III
the whole city government to give one out
OF every hundred Of these applicants en-
ployment. and these are probably nearly
all promised.' It is time this useless hang
ing around tia City Hall were discontln-
ued. The old political rings, upon whom
so many Of the idlers depended n vain,
10 longer rule there, and political infu
ence counts but little with the new pow
ers that be. There is plenty to do out
side Of public Offices, if those able to per
form it would take hold witha will. And
there is no hope that the municipal
patronage viii any longer be adequate to
support the large army OF applicants
worthy and needy though they may be,
