A Brisk Trade.

----.- .l a HrtSk Trade .-f-,..,...4. g
We learned yesterday from a farmer who
lives a few miles from town, that very recently
a man came from the vicinity of New Market
driving before him to the market of this city
two we'll fed yearling kline. When he reached
our informants residence, he expressed will
lingness to trade, and, as he offered the cattle
cheap, they were bought for the small sum of
six dollars
Our cattle driver then came on with light
heart and heavy purse until he reached the
store of Mr.. g. NJ Roberts, in the suburbs of
East Knoxville, where good supply of dry
goods meeting bis eyes. he was reminded that
family supplies must be purchased, and accord
ingly pair of shoes and other articles were bar
gained for, and in settling up the bill, it occur
red to our hero that it would be a right clever
stroke of business and saving of money to put
in the calves at five dollars and half, which he
did, telling Mr. Roberts that they were at the
farm of the first gentleman on pasture.
He returned home, no doubt thinking that he
was sharp fellow. Whether he was or not, the
court may yet decide.

The charges made against Captain Heydt
weredoubtless purposely published just after he
left the city, so as not to give him the chance of
defense. We know nothing about the facts, but
are informed the whole charge is false, and can
be explained satisfactorily to all fair minded
men. Captain, Heydt is now in Washington,
and will be heard from in due time

SECRETARY FISH.

1t has been the theme OF many news
paper paragraphs that Secretary Fish was
about to retire from the Cabinet, for
reasons that appeared perfectly sa:isfac-
tory to the authors of the reports. Present
appearances do not indicate any such con-
clusion. Secretary Fish, as first minister
OF State, will be the leading representative
OF the American government III the joint
commission to arrange final and con-
elusive settlement Of all outstanding diff
cUlties between the United States and
Great Britain. The discussion Of the
Alabama claims and the counter liabilities
which England holds agalst US for Fenian
raids and cotton unjustly seized and sold
after the war, the Northeastern boundary
question, the fishery dispute, reciprocal
commercial treaty as regards Canada, and
the adjustment Of an international law
point as to the rights of belligerents, will
occupy the commission for months, and
the designation Of the present Secretary
Va 'J'~eS 90 INC I11Atltt i1iliCi1Ndii liz
gotiator not only determines the con-
tdence OF the President, but gives assur-
ance Of the disposition OF Mr.. Fish to
remain in his present position for some
time TO come. We say that appearances
indicate this much, for the President
would scarcely have selected the Secretary
for this important work with the design
Of supersedins him in the midst of nego-
tiation, and Mr.. Fish would scarcely have
accepted the position if he.had designed
to leave the matter in the very flush Of its
execution. II the name OF Webster was
made more famous by its connection with
the Ashburtcn treaty, what public man
would consent to forego the fame which
must result to the author of q. negotiation
which will adjus: difficulties that have
been discussed for four years and which
are as mountains compared to the settle
ment Of the northeastern boundf1y Gues-
ton If the Secretary ever had any
desire to retire. it must be considered now
as one that has been detnitively aban-
doned. And in drawing this conclusion
it affords US great satisfaction to indorse
the selection OF the Presiden: as one that |
he viii never regret.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-02-19

amble of the bill states that some eight
hundred and forty-four thousand one hum
dred and ninety-nine acres of land in the
Lafourche country are useless from want
of drainage and could be reclaimed for
agricultural purposes by proper system
of drainage. For this purpose State bonds
are to be issued to the amount of two hun
bred and sixty-fve thousand dollars, to
enable the drainage company to carry out
the purpose for which it was incorporated.
Any one sitting on the floor of the
House will be astonished that amid snch
a babel of tongues, and such apparent
inextricable confusion, SO much real
business could be done. When the
Speaker puts the question, every one III
the House seems to respond "Aye, and
equally, on the opposite side, every mem
Der hallooes ''No-o-o!" and really it seems
as if both sides have it, We congratulate
the Speaker on possessing nicely OF
aural perception sufficient to distinguish
whether the ayes OF noes have it.
After the passage of the bill to amend
the city charter, the remainder Of the
morning session was occupied with q
vehement discussion arising from re-
port of the Committee Oh Canals and
Drainage in favor Of incorporating the
Drainage Company OF New Orleans
The merits Of the bill, or the views OF
those who debated it, were perfectly
unintelligible, it being somewhat diff
cult to appreciate the merits of subject
upon which some dozen speakers were
expatiating at the same time, particu-
larly when the vocalism was accompanied
by a running accompaniment of the
Speakers gavel. After a prolonged vo-
alteration the House adjourned until
Monday at twelve o'clock, leaving the
drainage bill p!a''te Ia.

| 1t is generally admitted that the pros
perity and stability of a republican form
Of government depends, IN measure,
upon the official integrity Of its public men.
These are chosen to represent the will OF
the people, to promote the interests Of the
community, to make, interpret and execute
| laws which shall express the popular SEN
| timent on ell matters Of justice and ex-
pediency. They are not chosen to foster
monopolies, nor to legislate for classes:
| above all, not to srbserve the interest of
individuals to the detriment of the public
The moment they depart from these prin-
ciples, they undermine, to a commensurate
extent, the very foundations of Repub-
licanism, for the government which they
administer no longer represents the
people. That this condition Of public
affairs does occasionally occur in our vast
and complicated system of government,
there is no disputing witness the legisla-
tive and judicial proceedings in States
where the Democratic party (not the
Democracy have unchecked sway. Nay,
candor compels the admission that
even Republican administrations, when
not restrained by due sense of their
accountability, and lively apprecia-
ton of the chances Of being "rotated out
of Office, are not always upto the high
water mark of official purity. But still,
We can not but think that much of the de-
nunciation Of the press against official
corruption is purely. sensational pan
dering to the depraved appetite for CEN
sure, with OF without cause. For even
the dictates of enlightened self-interest, to
those insensible to higher motives, should
be sufficient spur to keep public man
in the straight path. Every deviation
therefrom is certain to be known sooner
or later, and known to his disadvantage
The selfish motto, 'honesty is the best
policy odious as it is as prin-
ciple Of conduct, has yet served and
will continue to serve, to keep thousands
(rogUes, perhaps, at heart from overt
acts OF dishonesty; so that between those
who do their duty from high and pure
motives, and those who refrain from evil
from the dread of nntoward consequences,
the probability is that politicians in and
out OF office are not nearly so corrupt as
the sensational press would represent
them to be. Moreover. it should be
taken for granted, as general rule, that
men in public Offices, like men in private
life. act, on the whole, from good motives: |
and that, when any public measure is
adopted which is proved by experience to
be injudicious or injurious, it was adopted
in good faith. For what is experience
but the result of failure? 1t is by repeated
falls that the child learns to walk, and by
blunders on the part of some one
that the rest of the world finds out
the right thing to be done and the right
way to DO it.
Those chronic grumblers, then, OF the
press or street corners, who are always |
shutting out corruption, who see "a job
in every proposed improvement, and
reluctantly strain out few drops Of COM
