PURELY COMMERCIAL

Perhaps we owe an apology to the pork
and molasses editor of the Times. 1t
was our mist ortune to misunderstood, or
at any rate fail to coincide in some rather
heavy and obscure views of his relative
to the Boston sugar trade. But to our
establishment and chagrin we now learn
that these remarks were purely COM
mercial," and, therefore, of course, ex-
empt from criticism. We are fully aware
that the bulk of the three column lucu-
brations that appear daily under the head
of Commercial and Financial" in the
Times, will not stand the test of much
criticism. Fortunately, they do not need
it, as the veriest tyro in the mercantile
world is too shrewd to take them as a
guide for his action. But when this
brilliant compiler of platitudes deliber-
atoly travels from his legitimate course
and comes as near as it is possible for a
writer of his class not to be bore, we
are compelled to notice it. 1t may be in
accordance with the usage of purely
commercial writer's to say, for instance,
that the trade of Boston is fostered
and promoted by cheap freights, and
that of New Orleans retarded by
high freights. But a simply logical
and sensible writer like the one employed
by the REPUBLICAN on the same subject,
would think his work only half done if he
hung up his statement on nothing in that
manner. He thought little inquiry into
the relative causes of cheap freights in
Boston, and dear rates here was appro-
pirate to the occasion. 1t did not require
much research to trace the effects to their
causes. He found that the Boston mer
chant attends to his business the wear
round, while it is fashionable here, and
has been even more so than now, for our
merchants to devote but from five to six
months to the business of o season Zone
season a year,, and then fit away on
grand loaing tour. Hence, he was COM
PEELED to charge high commissions. Our
port dues are high, and the little bills of
charges against ship lying here for a
few weeks, embrace multitude of items
which should be left out. The master or
owners OF course, must pay the extortion-
ate charges and add them to the freight
bills. Hence, freights are high, but the
profits to the ship are less than they are
in Boston, where, the Times says they are
cheap.
Were not these purely commercial y
propositions, and only to be treated by
experts, we might go still further, and
open up the whole question. But we
find on little examination that we can
not discuss the matter safely at all. We

TO THE LONG-WINDED,

We give it up, and call for help. We
can not hold our breath long enough to
read it. Albeit the sentence flows as
smoothly as a cotton-foat over a cobble-
stone pavement, we can not MARBLE it
forth successfully. To any amateur who
will read the following heavy effort of the
Times, without stopping to catch his
breath, without swearing or laughing, we
will exercise high degree of iberality
Some mitigation of its calumny may be
claimed for the organ of venal and plum
dering faction, which is compelled to live by
political adversaries in regard to political
questions and facts.

shall run counter to the Times, which ever
way we believe. For while the "purely
commercial man asserts on Friday that
the Hub is building up very profitable
trade with the West Indies, the purely
political writer on the day before de-
clared:
The whole Lumber of vessels now upon
the stocks in Boston shipyards consists OF
one ship, three sehOoners and a small pilot
boat. And to such low stage of decay
has dwindled one of the grandest OF Amer
can industries under the pernicious work
ings Of the protection doctrine.
There is evidently want of harmony
between these two writer's, which we may
attempt to reconcile some day. One OF
them is building up Boston at a great
rate, and the other has it slow stage Of
decay" If the purely commercial man
wants pert retort to throw at his col
league, let him account for the absence
of vessels from Boston. Tell him the
rest have all gone to Demerara after
molasses. But we hope he will not talk
to his fellow-employe as he writes at the
REPUBLICAN We can stand any amount
of dullness in book, newspaper, or q
letter, but pity the one who is compelled
to sit and listen to bombastic, empty
headed bore.

HOPE FOR FRANCE.

The alacrity with which the people of
France came forward and subscribed to
the new national loan required to pay
the war indemnity to Prussia, shows that
their patriotism still survives the shock
of humiliation and disaster When the
call was made by nj. Theirs for two mil
lards of francs, as a loan to the French
government, and five millards of francs
was offered by the French people, it was
an evidence of their confidence in the
success of the republic When, as an
nounced in the French Assembly by NJ.
Pouyer-Q uertier, the Minister of Finance,
in less than six hours the agents of the
treasury collected 4, 1000, 900 francs, of
which Paris alone subscribed $500, 000,-
900, it is manifested that France has yet
abundant material resources among the
people, far more than could have been
anticipated after the closing of the terri
BILE war through which it had Just
passed. Evidenely these people have
faith in the future of their country, and
are ready to make any sacrifice for her
glory, and this dragging forth their saw
ings, boarded in old stockings and hidden
in out of the way corners, shows conf
dence in the new order of things, encourage
ing to every friend of that sorrow-stricken
nation 1t shows, also, that the spirit
of that people is not broken, and
great patriotic leader if one such arises,
will find in France some of the most i'm
portant elements of magnanimity and self

COLONEL GARDNER BANKS.

General n P Banks, yesterday, tele-
graphed to Colonel Lewis Wolfey that
his (the General's) brother, Colonel Gard
ner Banks, died on Sunday, ninth in
slant, at his former home, Waltham,
Massachusetts,, where he arrived Wednes-
day last, having left this city on June 26.
The deceased had an extensive acquaint-
ance in New Orleans, where his many
noble qualities won him circle of friends,
among whom his memory will be long
kept fresh and green.
Colonel Banks was native of Massa-
chusetts, and joined her first troops in
defense of the Union. When the gallant
Powell T. Wyman fell in one of the
''seven days fights, he was appointed to
succeed him as Colonel of the Sixteenth
Massachusetts regiment, and many are
the incidents narrated by his old COM
rades illustrating his efficiency and gal
lantry as soldier. wound received in
the Army of the Potomac permanently
disabled Colonel Banks for field duty,
and he retired to private life, settling in
Louisiana as planter, in 1863, and never
leaving, we believe, until the nigh ap-
proach of the fell destroyer induced his
friends to take him to the family home
stead to die.
Colonel Banks served the government for
three or four years in the internal revenue
and customs departments, but for long
time has also been a familiar figure
among the bulls and bears of Carondelet
street. We sincerely hope he leaves his
estimablc widow and daughter well pro-
vided for in this worlds goods The
bereaved have our sincere sympathy in
their great bereavement

Second Controller Broadhead decides
that the repeal by the act of July II, 1870
of the indefinite appropriation in the act of
March 3, 1869, to pay for horses, mules, etc.,
lost or destroyed during the war, does not
prevent action at the treasury upon this
class of claims. There are no legal objec-
tons to entertaining these claims. The
Auditor can report each case, as usual, to
the Controller, and if approved, the sum
allowed stands as an adjudicated claim, to
be paid when Congress makes the necessary
appropriation.

fact, upon the possibilities of maintaining
the integrity of the Government. Now,
