AN ACTUAL WAR ON HAND,

How many of the forty millions of peo-
pie in these United States are aware this
Fourth of July morning that they are
constructively engaged in foreign war;
and that each one of them is liable to be
summoned to defend the government
whose proclamation is to be celebrated
to-day? Yet such is the fact. The en-
gagement has been made, the first battle
has been fought, and the first victory
declared in our favor. 1t depends en-
tirely on circumstances how large this
war may become, for although the initial
hostilities were commenced with de-
tendency, the final fight may have to be
made with the superior authority of the
Emperor of China.
The island of Corea is situated between
the Yellow sea and the sea of Japan, and
contains about ninety thousand square
miles, and is inhabited by ten millions of
people. 1t is an inhospitable country,
both in it's climate and politics the one
being very severe and the other very ex-
elusive 1t is strict despotism, and
acknowledges the superior authority of
the government of China.
Years ago an American ship stranded on
the coast of Corea, and the crew were
brutality treated. We have been nego-
tiating about that outrage ever since, the
Coreans always protesting very generous
intentions in the way of amendment
and damages. Commodore Rodgers, of
the Pacific squadron, did not trust them
so much as his predecessors, so he felt in
clined to force settlement. The Coreans
insisted in talking about the matter, how
ever, and the commodore concluded to
advance the cause of navigation in a
measure, while the talk was kept up. He
attempted to survey the coast, and in
doing this he had to sail into the Hong
hoa river, which leads to the capital of
Corea. He had the permission of the
authorities to make the survey, which
gave him some rights in the premises,
In ascending the river his vessel was fired
upon from a shore battery. He sup
pressed the disturbance and continued
his voyage up the river. By and by he
encountered more batteries, and this time
he landed and captured the entire layout,

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY, JULY 4 1871

Such genuine hot weather as the Their
mometer indicates in Mobile must be
taken into consideration, to account for
the wrath of the Mobile Register against
the Northern Democracy, because of the
basting which it is giving.to jeff Davis.
John Forsyth is in hotter state of eruption
against his hyperborean allies of Tam
many Hall, than the famous volcano of
Popocatapetl which he attempted to buy
from Mexico. The very snow on his
head is dissolving

If the Caddo Gazette reflects the senti-
ments of Shreveport, North Louisiana is
actually alive at last to the necessity of
railroad connections with the world at
large. While the Gazette has not single
reference to the splendid saloons which
used to attract so much of its attention,
there are six different editorials upon as
many different railroad projects. The
omission and the commission are alike
commendable

A fond parent is the hardest person in
the world to convince that his children are
rude or i'll favored. On the same princi-
pie General Forrest must be excused if he
does not know that there are secret So
cieties or midnight associations in the
South that commit outrages against their
political opponents. Perhaps the lido
syncracy which refuses to recognize in the
abuse of an enemy the abuse of law and
justice prevails with such men as General
Forrest, and excuses them for denying
the existence of those evils which they
simply regard as the necessary defenses of
society. In the old slaveholding period
nothing was more common than to hear
men declare that the negroes were not in
humanity treated, but when the precise
case was brought in evidence they sur
mounted the difficulty by assuming that
it was exceptional. So at present, when
those who swear that there are no Ku-Klux
are met with the positive proof
OF Lu6 6AlSl6uCe VI IneS6 rOWQleS,
the negative retires behind the old
defense that it is an exceptional case.
Admitting this, then the law that pun
ishes this exceptional case is a good one
Murder and robbery are not every day
occurrences, but society still insists on
having law to punish them. The same
may be said of dueling. This latter Of
Tense was once tolerated just as ku-
kluxism is tolerated at present. because it
was considered necessary for the protec-
ton of society. As we have grown older
and better, it is no longer tolerated or
defended, because society has decided that
it can not allow one crime to exist for the
sake of stopping another. Such men as
General Forrest had better recognize the
truth and tell it. 1t is the best way to
arrive at the end they seem to desire.

killing and wonnding GAS men, destroy
ing six forts, and laying his barbaric
hands on 4S1 guns, with loss of only
three killed and seven wounded. The
army that Commodore Rodgers routed
consisted of 11,OOO men, which argues
wonderful bravery on the part of his men
or extraordinary cowardice on that OF the
enemy. He is still lingering near the
scene of the conflict, awaing new tight
which was threatened.
This is defensible proceeding. Com
modore Rodgers has vindicated the Amerl-
can name in the Chinese seas, and we can
afford to stand by him, although he has
involved us in actual hostilities with Co
rea directly and with China indirectly,
And now, in the midst of our patriotic
celebrations, let us all pledge ourselves
to stand by the American commodore
who is flying the American flag over VIC
torious fields on the Hong-hoa.

VICTOR EMANUEL GOING TO ROME.

Despite the many rumors to the con-
trary, what we have constantly assumed
as inevitable is now rapidly developing
into fact. The government of Victor
Emanuel is being removed to Rome. Al
ready the foreign ministers are securing
residences in the imperial city, and the
king himself is expected at the new CAPT
tai almost Immediately. This result was
never doubtful with us from the first.
1t was deliberately decided on at first,
and events have since occurred which
have rendered the removal an actual
necessity. Victor Emanuel can not re-
cede without imperiling his Italian ac-
QUESTIONS. He might even put in jeopardy
his government in Sardinia, for the par
lament at Turin has ever been in advance
of the king in demanding the consolida-
ton of the kingdom as at present con-
stituted Rome has maintained peace
full attitude for the last two years. under
the conviction that its political destinies
of Europe, and now if these hopes were
destroyed by the weakness Of the Italian
king, there would be an uprising of the
people which nothing but foreign troops
could repress. Victor Emanuel, how
ever, does not even falter any more
now than he did when Austria
menaced him for accepting of the services
of Garibaldi, but continues to make his
advance toward united kingdom with
the same nerve and discretion that char
acterized his original action under the
counsels of Cavour. His diplomacy with
the Pope has been characterized by great
tact, having first secured the consent of
Plus TX. by inducing that indiscreet gen.
tleman to accept subsidy from the royal
treasury. He next offered guarantees of
independence to the Pope, which were de-
clined with great indiscretion, and thus
he has placed his government in the posi-
ton to defend its iberality before THE
world. Now he is prepared to move, since
Austria and Prussia have declined TO in
terfere, since France can not, and since
Dollinger has distracted the Church it
self Diplomacy and patience have won
the day, and Italy may soon be counted
as one of the consolidated governments of
Europe. Rome will become great polit-
ical capital, which will offer her better
chances of prosperity than to be exclu-
sively devoted to the propagation of reli-
gion. Whether the Pope will depart, as
he has sworn to do, now remains to be
seen.

An obstreperous newspaper wants to
know why the discontinued Republicans
and the progressive Democrats do not
coalesce and form new party The best
reason why this thing is not done is, that
these two classes are travelling different
routes. The discontinued Republican is
fossilizing into Democrat, and the pro-
gressive Democrat is crystalizing into a
live Republican. They would fever
agree, because they would be further
apart when they were united than they
are when they are divided.

The jackson and Mississippi Central rail
ways run double daily trains through to
all points North. No other line can offer
the same advantages. Passengers can re-
main in New Orleans until the cool of the
evening avoiding five and half hours hot
and dusty travelling, and arrive at their
destination on the same train, as by leaving
in the morning by any other line. They
can secure berths through to New York in
the celebrated Pullman palace sleeping

THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.


Everything tends toward conviction
in the public mind that the Presidential
contest of 1872 will be sternly and uncom-
promisingly one principles great fun
damental principles that form the base
of republican government in this coun-
try; settled truths that found their way
into the American declaration of independ-
ence and were afterward embodied into
the federal constitution through the agency
ofmen purely devoted to the cause of self
government and human progress. The fate
of these principles was involved in the
late civil war in the United States, and SO
was the fate of slavery The men,
or many of them. who invoked the
sword to force an Interpretation of the
constitution unfavorable to the Union,
and were defeated by the sword, are the
men who insist upon renewing those is
sues at the ballot box in 1872; who once
more go before the people with the hope
of having Democratic President elected
and Democratic administration and in
depreciation of the cons titution once more
foisted upon the country. In order to
covertly make war on the principles of
the Republican party and the large ma
jority of the people who have invariably,
in peace and war, sustained Republican
government since the first election of Mr.
Lincoln as President, the present admin
istration is charged with determination
to substitute an imperial form of govern
ment for the one we have, and in this way
secure the reelection of President Grant.
The charge is unworthy of the Democrat
