COMPARISONS,

Whiting verbose assertion down to
mere matter of fact sometimes brings out
a conclusion not at all favorable to the
orator. And this is just the service which
the Chicago Republican has accomplished
in the interest of truth by demonstrating
that the expenses Of General Grants adj
ministration, as compared with those of
James Buchanan's, are altogether in favor
Of the former, Democratic oratory to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Under Bu-
chanan it cost each man, woman and child
in the nation 50 OF to pay the annual
expenses Of the government, while under
Grant, making due allowance for the
difference between gold and currency,
it only costs 81 Ga per capita. AS mat
ter Of course, the interest on the national
debt, the payment Of PENSIONS the sup
port of the hospitals, and the small in
crease in the army and navy, which are
debts and responsibilities assumed and
imposed upon the republic by the war of
the rebellion, are not estimated iu the
regular annual budget in making this
comparison, for Mr.. buchanan had no
such expenses to pay 1t might be just,
but probably it would not be generous,
to say that if we had such a man as Grant
in Buchanan's place, these items about
which the Democrats are so noisy might
not have found a place on the national
tableau.
If patriotism consists in honestly telling
the truth to the country, and in manly
efforts to retrieve misfortune, the Demo-
cratic Central Committee will certainly
make special paragraph of this fact in
its address to the people.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-08-25

more attention to facts than they do to
that political scandal which circulates
among disappointed politicians and bla-
tant demagogues If it had gone to these
men for information it would never have
published the ill-natured and unfounded
paragraph that Governor Warmoth had
fallen into bad odor in Louisiana, for the
truth is that the Governor has cast off the
bad odor with which not only he himself,
but every other Republican, was invested
in New Orleans, but has raised his own
and the credit of the State and city, to
about par. There was. a time when, if
the editor of the Advertiser had taken
lodgings in Louisiana he would have
fallen into bad odor if he had declared the
same sentiments which he declares in
Boston. But thanks to the Governor and
his friends, that time has gone by, and
except in a Democratic wigwam, the same
truths may be told in this city that are
told in Boston. If the Advertiser is dis
satisfied with this condition of things, let
it go on and assist to break down the
man who has mainly assisted to bring it
about.

Of course it will be understood that we
refer to this subject with the sole purpose
of contributing to the enhancement of the
city's credit, and because the matter is
generally discussed upon the street The
proper time to remedy the error (if there
has been an error Of any Importance COM

secured, and we believe it should be. The
present city government has been hitherto
remarkably successful in its efforts to re-
store municipal finances to healthy condi-
ton, and criticism dictated by friendly So
icitude and supported by the .concurring
opinion of practical fnanciers, will doubt
less be received by our City Fathers in
the spirit in which it is conceived.

THE GREAT WAR,

The French are brave, over-bearing
imperious. The national tendency to
rule the world or ruin the world is as un-
equivocal in the sphere of politics as in
that of fashion. The Tuileries on the
one hand, and the boulevards on the
other, must be the grand centres of civ
ilazation or war comes in. 5440 or
fight was no more decidedly the ultima
tum of Jonathan in the little game of
brag he had with John at famous re-
union twenty-five years ago, than peace
and point lace, Ia Eroncois, are of Jean
Crapeau in perpetuity, and concerning
which ,''let no dog bark" Well, the
Gallo genius was overtaken by an inspi-
ration concerning its "peace," not un-
like that which moved our late
/" Confederacy' i'll respect to
its cotton. Each thought the world
could never get along without it. Just
as the rebellion was certain that cotton
was king; SO was Louis, that empire was
peace. Just as it was thought that if the
doors were declared closed against cotton
the Confederacy would be allowed to
have its own pleasant way, so was it
thought if the doors were declared closed
against peace the equally unselfsh
and humane rule of the Tuileries would
be allowed to prevail. But with the pro-
verbal slip of destiny, the cotton was
destroyed without consequences agreeable
to its owners; SO the peace has been de-
stroyed, with consequences strongly
tending to perfect analogy in respect to
the pleasantness of the venture to its
owner. No matter now about the cotton,
the Prussians are taking care of the
''peace."
Surely if ever the angel Retribution
trod closely ON the heels of an untoward
and stupendous wrong, Louis is sensible
of such providence at this time. The
complaining nations see it in the fiery tab
leaux that startle us in such rapid sue
cession On the 'French stage" The
great mass of spectators are pleased.
None will be found to deny that Prussian
capacity comprehends the whole scale of
histrionic and historic excellence And
while the high art and martial and
gifts of the unmistakable French
soldier challenge like admiration, he has
under the distribution of characters the
villainous part to do, and no matter how
we'll done the shadow of the little vii
ain incarnating the imperial peace,
will cover him with its pail and shroud
20 the bitter end.

Administrator of Finance

Now, the bonds are made payable to
"Alfred Shaw, or bearer" and their ne
gotiable character in any mans hands
being thus secured, the necessity
of the assignment to Mr.. Cavaroc is not
apparent; and if there was any necessity
for reference to the forty-frst section
of the city charter, the section should
have been recited somewhere, to save
reference and inquiry. That, however, is
aminor matter. All the certificates should
have been signed, if they were considered

PROJECTION FROM OVERFLOW.

Late as it is, we are glad to see that the
Council have taken some steps to give us
a protection levee on the lake shore. 1t
is improbable that anything will be done
this year, so we must content ourselves
with the risk of another overflow, and
the probable submersion of the rear part
Of the city once more. More than year
ago we pointed out that levee on the
lake shore was our only safety from an
annual overflow We at the same time
urged that the Board of Public Works
were as much bound to build the levee as
they were any levee on the Mississippi or
Red river more especially as the city OF
New Orleans has for many years paid a
very large portion of the taxes collected
for levee purposes, while not one cent has
ever been spent for her benefit.
We urged this question strongly last
year, and supposed that the Board OF
Public Works, when their attention was
called to the matter, would be sufficiently
alive to their duty of protecting. the peo-
pie of the city of New Orleans from an
overflow, to do something in that direc-
ton. As they seem Obvious OF their
duty, it is well that the Council has taken
the matter in hand, and we hope they
will not quit in their efforts until the
Board Of Public Works cause a good
levee to be built on the lake shore that
will effect ually prevent any overflow of
the lake.
When that is done the drainage of the
city may be permanently improved, and
hundreds of acres between the rear Of the
city and the lake that is now nothing but
g pestilent swamp. occupied by bullfrogs
and mosquitoes, will, in short time, be
valuable property, and will contribute
more to the city treasury than the cost of
the drainage.
1t must be borne in mind that the pro-
lection of the city from overflow is one
thing, and that the drainage is another
quite separate and distinct; that the con-
struction of the shore ievee mast precede
any good system of drainage; that until
the lake water is kept. out, money spent
in what is called drainage is wasted and
squandered, and is as reasonable as if
man building house should insist upon
his rooms, and fitting them up
with costly furniture, before he had his
roof on.
Had the former Levee Commissioners
kept out the lake water, the money the
city has spent in drainage would, if
properly applied, have given us perfect
system of drainage, and where We now
have swamp, might have been dotted
over with neat cottages surrounded with
nice gardens, and the healthy and in
breezes of the Lake would have
full sweep over the city, and purify its
instead of the miasmatic
blasts which.now reaches us.
BY all means let the Board of Public
Works make the levee, then the city can,
and we have no doubt will, give US pro-
per drainage system, and the greater
portion Of the inhabitants in the rear of
the city will not be, as they now of
necessity are, webfooted.

Republican papers are supposed to be
capable of keeping the truth as standard
for both argument and statement. The
Boston Advertiser, however, has allowed
repeated scandals to nislead it in matter
about which it might have been better
informed if it had referred to the class of
people who patronizs it. both at home
andein New Orleans. The Advertiser rep
resents the commercial and shipping
interests, and its friends are men who pay

The Cousier-JoWaol is frightfully agi-
tated, and seeks to agitate its friends with
the same fright, because the Republican
party has made such rapid strides since
1866. Suppose that all the balance of
mankind had initiated the example of the
Courier-JomnM by buying big anchor in
1866, and tying up to it, where would we
have been just now? Such question
may not frighten the Bourbon Whisky
Democracy of Kentucky, but it certainly
does us.

HORSE FLESH AS AN ARTICLE OF FOOD,

An item OF European news justifes us
in saying that the question whether horse
flesh is fit for food will soon be settled. It

battle shall be served out as rations to the
soldiers This will be settler of the vex-
alton. It will be admitted that the Ameri-
