sing away with the observances
which usually characterize its cele-
bration. The only noticeable sport
which seems to us to be on the in
crease is the perpetual and indis-
criminate discharge Of every des-
cription at pyrotechnics all over the
city, to the great Inconvenience Of
hosts of citizens, and endangering
of the limbs and lives of many.
: The press reports contain many
causualities of this description, one
or two fatal. "Benzire" too has
been doing some work. The police
have made quite a number of arrests
to prevent the rollicking about the
streets which the stop heavy" ones
were inclined to indulge in.
Unhappily, the pistol has been re,
sorted to in several instances, two
or three lives having been sacrificed
during the week. ..5v

STICK A PIN HERE.

We regret that circumstances
should force the necessity on us to
SO stately defend the attitude of our
paper and the position Of some Of
our friends. But to remain silent
under the malicious attacks Of adj
versaries might seem to lend the
air of acknowledgment of the accu-
sations. It is well known that since
our paper has been in existence we
have been a consistent supporter OF
President Grant, and his Admins
tration. We were among the first
to hoist his name for President in
1872. Lieutenant Governor Rinch-
back (sepior proprietor Of our
paper) introduced in the Southern
States Convention of colored men,
a set OF resolutions, eulogizing and
endorsing President Grant, and
they were passed. And upon every
appropriate occasion he has been
an outspoken Grant man, and yet
we find the National Republican, a
paper claiming to be the especial
champion of the National admins
tration, and the organ of President
Grant, started with, and supported
by federal patronage, continually
making the meanest, most con-
temptible attacks on Lieutenant
Governor Pinchback. ...
1t might serve a useful purpose if
some friend of the Presidents in
Washington would exhibit to His
Excellency, some specimens of that
vile sheet that he may know the
course of this "organ."
We want also to prognosticate
that while this faction may unite
with the Democracy to defeat Re
publicans, they never can enjoy,
even the small compensation of
securing the vote of the Democracy
of Louisiana for Grant in 1872.

Ba- The Rapides Gazette has
changed editors. Its last issue an
nounces the name of T. J. Compton,
ESQ.,, as it's future editor. Mr.. c.
is well and favorably known to the
fraternity and newspaper readers,
but had lately withdrawn from this
sphere On again returning to an
old field he says:
ell heath, hard times and other
reasons compelling him to give up
his ordinary occupation of a Planter,
he takes up again his occasional one
as Editor. A lifelong Wing of
the old line, and bitterly opposed
to secession as long as opposition
could be shown, it seems more con-
sistent to him to join now a new
and progressive party, although he
may not approve of some of its
policy and proceedings, than an old
one which he always opposed, and
which according to the outspoken
opinion of some of its former warm
est adherents is now either dead or
in a dying condition, not to say
dead and rotten, as one OF its pro-
minept Editors not a thousand
miles from here pronounced it eight
years ago. 1t is not his purpose
q wish however to engage in, or
bring on political discussion, but
merely to say as an editor, what he
has already long since said as a
private citizen that he is Con-
servative member of the Republican
party, believing that in the CONT
nuance of power of that party, the
peace and prosperity OF the country
depends"

@The Fdgs saw dangling be-

luscious position of Lieutenant
Governor, which they would enjoy.
So they acquiesced in the call for
the Senate, by which means they
hoped to obtain it. But finding it
beyond their reach they exclaim-
the position is not worth the having
and straightway found out, after
the election, that the Senate was
unconstitutionally called-that the

SHALL THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY BE DISRUPTED?

PARTY BE DISRUPTED?
There is no doubt whatever that
the strength and independence dis
played by the Republican organiza-
ton, saved the Union from dissolu-
ton, and frustrated the efforts OF
traitors to destroy the Government.
In the mighty struggle to accom-
plish these results, it was not pos
sible to escape certain amount OF
wrong, and equally true is it, that
even the effect of victory over the
enemies OF the country, has left GER
tain stains on the victors which it
was not possible for them to escape.
We have of course accumulated a
certain amount of dirty linen in the
work of crushing the. rebellion,
which could not be prevented, but
does it become Republicans to ask
that these foul garments, which are
not OF our own making, be washed
in public, exposed and given to the
common gossip, in the person of
disappointed politicians, who, only
a few years ago, quibbled and petit
logged to secure the escape of the
meanest and biggest rascal that
treason had drawn to it's folds. The
Republican party is too sacred and
essential in its operation for popular
welfare, to be made the sport of
demagogues of any grade of ability.
Under no circumstances must we
allow that organization to be dis
graced. fit has shortcomings, the
people in their own good time will
correct them. If bad men in its
ranks holding the Offices at its dis
posal are guilty of crimes, that does
not affect the sacred principles it up
holds or lessen the necessity of keep
ing it in power. There are laws to
punish crime. Let them be en-
forced; and this can be done with
out impairing the strength of our
great party. But the case is a very
different one, to allow a few disap-
pointed men of the Trumbull and
Schurz school, to disrupt an organ
ization which they find they cannot
merely to crafty personal
spite. An ambitious man is always
spiteful when he sees be has no
chance of fair success; reckless
nan having committed one grave
error, is always rash enough to rush
INTO other extremes. This is pre-
,isely the condition of Trumbull.

COMING TO HIS SENSES.

The appearance Of the National
Republican, yesterday morning, with
a letter over the signature of Speak
er Carter set at rest a matter that
has fer some time agitated many
minds. 1t has officially settled the
editorship of that paper. The cir
cumstances under which the revela-
ton has been made, it is true, are
of that character that perhaps de-
prive it of much of its value, yet
disinclined to "look a gift horse in
the mouth" We will merely say on
this point that the Colonel has very
adroitly made virtue of necessity
in the mode Of the declaration.
We transfer to our columns the
card Of Mr.. Carter with reference
to the recent publication in his pa
per of a string of the basest fabri-
cations, the vilest and most scanda-
lous reports against a number of
gentlemen, and believe that the tho
rough reputation of all knowledge
OF, or sympathy with, thecalumnia-
tors and their calumnies will be
satisfactory to the maligned parties.
Hereafter, we presume that the re-
collection Of direct responsibility for
such utterances will have the effect
of securing for this paper that su-
pervision of the matter intended
for its columns which it has not
hitherto enjoyed
We have repeatedly had to COM
plain of the reckless and unscrupu-
lous manner in which the charac-
tiers and regulations of men were
wantonly assailed by the writers for
this paper, we, early in it's career,
drew attention to the character it
had assumed, and experience justi-
fed and confirmed our views.
A band of disafected, ill-informed
men, ayailing themselves of the Sc
curity Of darkness, and shielded
from all possibility of detection or
harm in consequence of the neces-
sary Intervention of another, have
been permitted to riot in the indul-
gence Of their malignant purposes
and defame and libel to an extent
they would not have dared to at
tempt if it were known they were
the authors. Impunity emboldened
them to more daring attempts, until
at length we find this horde of YAM
pires savagely ransacking the graves
Of the past for aliment. Like all
such outrageous proceedings they
have produced their natural result. |
The force of their vileness could no
further go, and it has recoiled,
necessitating an appeal to response
Die parties and the adoption of re-
nedies commensurate with the gra-
1ity of the offence and the charac-
er of the offenders.
Speaker Carter acknowledges now
he responsibility of himself and his
associates in general, but exercises
t in the particular instance referred
o for reasons which he gives.
1t may seem strange that during
IL the days and weeks since Mr..
Jarter has been said to have charge
f this paper, and its columns have
zen teeming with abuse and Wifi
alton and the attention of many of
hose connected with it have been
rawn to it's conduct, it did not ap-
ear proper for the "editor" to in
ervene and check the torren. of
buse until now.
This time they went "too far" that
'asall, and somebody wouldn'tstand
), and somebody couldn't stand it,
nd SO somebody 'craw-6shed."
