New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-07-20

The New York Commercial Advertiser, a
very discreet Republican journal, says:
In spite of the hostility of the Tribune
and Times, in spite of the opposition of
Senator Fent0n, who made the longest and
least effective speech of his life time, Mr..
Thomas Murphy is confirmed collector of
the port Of New York by a vote of 48 to 3.
The result is damaging blow to Fenton's
influence in this State or anywhere else, and
is triumph for Senator COnkling and the
many ardent friends who rallied SO cordially
to the support of Mr.. Murphy. The war on
the new collector was particularly malicious
and vindictive; but the assaults were met
at every point, and he was completely vim
dicated from the mendacious charges
brought against him. Mr.. Conkling's
whelmed his colleague. 1t is pronounced
model of invective. As for the Tribune,
Mr.. Conkling spoke the mind of q large
majority OF the Republicans, when he said
that Its cowardly course toward Mr.. MUIR
ply was only IN keeping with the character
OF It's editor. ne remarked that the Z1-i-
bu,e was an influence never used effect
ually unless In preaching sedition, dis
loyalty to the party, disorganization, and
prosecuting every man who did not how
down to its editor, or who had in some wav
crossed his ambition. He regarded the
influence of Mr.. Greeley upon New York
politics as disorganization and dishearteninp.
his wars were the wars of coward; for
while he claimed and exercised the right to
bolt the party when it pleased his own pur-
pose, he pursued, with the merciless fury
of Spanish inquisitor, any man who diff
fered with him. As the Standard truly
remarks this is not the first time
the Tribune has been overthrown by the
Republican party, and it will not prove to
be the last" We may now look for the re-
covery of the Republican party from the
gloom and wreck which its late would-be
leaders have brought upon it. Let us have
Oeace.

Hon. Daniel s. Norton, United States
Senator from Minnesota, who died last
week in Washington, was a native of Mount
Vernon, Ohio, born in 1929; saw service in
the Mexican war, came to the bar in 1852;
and in 1855 removed to Minnesota, where
he located at Winona, in the practice OF
law law N partnership with William WINDOW
nently in the Legislatures of Minnesota be-
tween 1857 and 1866, andin the latter year
was elected as a Republican to the United
States Senate. He "JOhnsonized' in 1866,
and has since been classed with the Demo
Gratis His term would expire in 1871, and
since Mr.. Window is strong with both the
Governor and people as a candidate for the
succession, Governor Austin will most
likely commission him to take a seat in the
Senate next December. Mr.. Window. it
will be remembered, served ten years in
Congress-lS59 to 1869.

BISMARCK.

The New York Standard says Of Bis
marck:
Notwithstanding the over-shadowing
eminencc on which stands Napoleon the
Third, it is evident that thinking minds are,
at this moment, occupied in studying Bis
marck rather than in contemplating the
Bonaparte representative. Count Bismarck
is the only European statesman who has
dared to oppose his schemes OF national
unity, his King, his country, and his per-
sonai reputation, to that dog manager
spirit of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT which has charac-
terized, for the last fifteen years, the policy
of the second empire. As a nOminally
responsible minister he has again and again
flung down the gauntlet, and has offered
the Emperor of the French so direct a
provocation to war that all Europe has
stood aghast at his temerity, and maryeled
while they sneered at the supineness OF his
Imperial antagonist. He has transformed
the Prussia Of his youth, poor imitation
of second-rate power, into the controlling
State of the most powerful European con-
federation of modern days.
The principal charge brought against him
is that, though advocating German unity,
he persistenly opposes German liberty.
That this is true, the political occurrences
in Germany during the last five years fully
demonstrate. Bismarck has fought, and
will fight again, for United Germany, but
it must be Germany the trunk, and Prussia
the head of the Confederacy. He will not
tolerate in reality. though he can make an
annearance of tOIerating, any assumption of
e9rivalent mower on the part of any other
Of the Confederate States. ANY proposition
from them il almost certain to meet with
CONGESTION from him when independently
offered, but may possibly meet with his ap-
nroya If placed under the shadow of the
20 fho
a man of ideas; and SO far, he is no true
German.
Unlike the late Lord Derby but like the
present Mr.. Disraeli, he is a sensualist as
regards patriotism. He would like it did it
suit his whim-his fancy. He is willing to
prostitute patriotism to his own ends He
has done 80, in so far as he has striven to
PROSTATE the one idea of his fellow-country-

THE SILLY YOUNG RABBIT.

There was young rabbit
Who had bad habit; =.
Sometimes he would do what his mother forbid
And one frosty day
His mother did say,
"My child you must stay in the burrow close hid;
For hear the dread sounds
OF huntsmen and hOunds ..
Who are searching around for rabbits like you,
Should they see but your head
They would soon shoot You dead, ,
And the dogs would be of with you quicker than
boo.
But poor foolish being,
When no one was seeing.
Looking ont from his burrow to take short play,
He hoped DER the ground
With many bound
And looked around proudly as he would say,
Do fear mani
Now catch me who CAM
So this young rabbit ran to fine apple tree,
Where gnawing the bark
He thought not to bark
The coming Of hunters 90 careless was ne.
Now as rabbits are good,
When roasted or stewed,
man came along hunting rabbits for dinneF
He sow little Bun
Then raised his big gun
And there he lay, dead, the foolish young sinner.
