THE UNION REPUBLICAN PARTY
OF California, met in Convention in
Sacramento recently and among the
resolutions passed, the following
with reference to education shows,
that our Republican brethren in
that section of the Country are up
to the mark in their estimate of the
value of education. COMPULSORY EDU-
CATION. That the safety and per-
petuity of republican institutions
depend mainly upon popular edu-
cation and intelligence. We there
fore approve and recommend a
common school system that shall
not only extend its benefits to all,
but which shall be compulsory upon
all, and We are infexibly opposed
to any application of the public
school moneys with any reference
to distinctions in religions cresds.

DEATH Of Senator s. s. Fish. We
regret to chronicle the demise
Of Hon Stephen S. Fish, State Sen
ator, at his fathers residence in
New York on July s. We Copy
the following notice from the Re
pulican's, extract from the Palmy,'u
Courier.
MIR. Fish for a number of years
had been q resident of New Orleans,
and at the time of his death was a
member of the State Senate of Lor,i-
siana. During the bitter political
feeling of 1866 between the ad-
herents of Governor Wells and the
reconstruction convention, he was
a member of that convention, and
an ardent supporter Of the Union
cause.
The spirit of rebellion that had
for time been kept in allegiance by
military rule, gathered strength by
the acts of President johnson, and
eliminated in the terrible raid on
the Free State Convention on the
night of July 80, and the massacre
that followed.
In that wild night, when q re-
vengsful and infuriated mob howled
around the building where this band
of freemen had assembled. Stephen
s. Fish was wounded by a pistol
ball that lodged in or near his lungs,
and was the subsequent cause OF
his death.
He came to Marion in October
last, was married to Miss Josephine
G. Eddy, and returned to New Or
leans. In March, his health began
to fail rapidly, and he came home
to die amid the vernal bloom of his
childhood's home, beside the blue
waters of Ontario. He was accom-
panied by his wife and brother,
Carlton B. Fish, arriving about three
weeks prior to his death. His
funeral took place at the Baptist
church, at Williamson, on Monday.
A large concourse of citizens were
present to pay the last sad tribute
OF respect to the noble dead.

ANOTHER CHAMPION.

A new Republican orator has
made his debut, and one of unusual
promise. At the meeting Of the
Crescent City Republican Club, on
Wednesday evening, Mr.. Lionel
Adams, son of Col Lucien Adams,
was called to the rostrum, and in
eloquent and forcible terms defend
ed Gov. Warmoth and the Repub-
licAn administration of Louisiana.
We regret not having space for the
speech entire-a synopsis would be
unfair. to the orator.
We make room, however, for one
paragraph. After comparing the
present prosperous condition of
Louisiana with the distress and
ruin which seemed almost univer-
sal when the Republican party u.s.
sumed the reins of Government,
and ascribing a due need of praise
for the happy change to the Chief
Executive, the speaker said:
Such. has been the conduct of
Gov. Warmoth from the commence
ment of his administration until the
time; such has been the ir-
character of a policy
We have supported and defended in
the past. And, If it has been 30
moderate and 30 propitious; if it
has been accompanied by noble
daring, heroic valor and philan-
thropic self sacrifice; if it has re-
stored Louisiana to her former DO
sition among the States Of the
Union, let US gather around him
who has transformed our condition
from gloom and distress to bright
ness and prosperity; let MS thank
him for his labors IN the past; let
rs extend to him our sanction, our
encouragement and our support in,
the days TO come. -
Mr. Lionel Adams is . graduate
Of the High School Of this city, and
studied rhetoric and oratory under
John p. peane, Esq, who has Just
reason for pride in his pupil. He
is ct present preparing ior sdmis.

A QUESTION OF INFORMA-

1 -
If the amenities, or the obliga-
tons of any sort of journalism, de-
manded that an editor should be
ready to answers the impertinsnt
queries of every gossip who lives
and thrives on the utterances OF
"Rumor," we might be induced for
once to submit to the code, and in
form the Guard on the subject on
which it pants so much for enlight-
eminent. But it does not, and the
questioner must stand ON has Guard,
while we in turn rise and ask him
if he knows the writer OF that manu-
script that was sold ont Of the Office
of the Citizens Guard, and ,cho sold
it? Tell us THIS, and we will tell
you THAT. a>

OH! OH! OHiii

Do the Republicans of this State
want new sensation? If so, there
is one appended, and if it does not
knock them of their centre of era
witty, their equilibrium may be set
down as perfect:
MARxsvnLE, Avoyelles Parish,
July 10th, 1871.
DEAR LoUIsIANIAN:
The Republicans of Avoyelleshave
held their election for delegates to
the State Convention in New Or
leans next August, and as we all
expected, we elected Hon. L. J.
Souer and Charles F. Huesman, ESQ.
You will learn these facts from the
credentials which / suppose will be
printed in the city, and that is not
what I want to write about there
fore. I want to inform the Repub-
hcan party of a low, mean dodge
which was tried on us.
The Sheriff Of this parish and his
deputies want to have everything
their own way, and because they
can't get it, are trying to get upa
bolt" from the regular party or
ganization. They have been show
ing around, to cause a split, letter
signed with the name of S. B. Pack
ard, and saying it is in behalf Of the
State Central Committee. 1t SAYS
the Tammany Hall Democrats have
sent secret agents through this State
to break up our party, and that Mr..
Souer is one of them. n Is an M
famous lie' Every Republican in
Avoyelles knows that Mr.. Souer is
as good Republican as any man
in the State Central Committee, and
they trust him. too. which is a good
deal more than they do of some who
set themselves up for our leaders
Decent Republicans in Avoyelles,
Mr. Editor, know who are dissen-
tionists, and we will give them no
quarter. Please print this to let
our people in other parishes find
out the trick.
Yours Truly,
AvOYELLES.

conceding the broadcast latitude of
difference of opinion, we shall treat
with respectful Difference all those
who shall hold opposing views
And while We shall have no ex-
pressed opinion upon the controver-
sizes OF opposing creeds-commit-
ing ourselves to this line of policy
we regard ourselves "independent in
everything, aud neutral IN nothing"
And while we take the broad plat
form Of the Republican Party for
our guide, and bend the knee to no
man or set of men, holding devo-
ton to party above man-worship,
we unhesitatingly declare Henry G.

The Colfax Guards had q numer.

The Colfax Guards had a numer-
Gus and enthusiastic gathering at
National Hall on last Wednesday
night. Messrs. Pinchback and j.
Sella Martin made effective speeches
counselling harmony and unity, in
stead Of strife and disssnsion. The
following significant resolution was
introduced by Hon. ". B. Garrett
and unanimously adopted.
Resolved. That any speaker whose
address tends to promote division
among %, instead of uniting us
in soid opposition to the en-
croachments Of Democracy, is an
enemy to the party at large, and
subjects himself to grave suspicion
of his party faith, and in every case
where attempts at "sorehead" divi-
sion are made, the speaker will not
be allowed to address us hereafter.

aver that we do not know whether

question Of ability to edit apaper

the tone of it, are two very differ
ent things. We do know one thing
and that is that the G,,ard inter-
prefer is admirable in perverting
any statement. Like "the Editor"
We are willing to quit.the disagree
able theme. but if he thinks that
we are playing any game of bluff"
let him renew and persist in the
course we have in the name of the

Party of Louisiana protested
against, and we will shor who will
be found equal to the emergency. !"

COMING no THE RESCUE

We are delighted to observe the
indications that Me sunk d file Of
the Republican party Of Louisiana,
are awakening to the lamentably
disastrous consequences which
threaten to overtake US, if promi
nent men, yleaders in our party are
permitted to continue their wrang-
ling and contentious.
The principles and the doctrines
Of Republicanism are not yet so
well grated in the popular mind Of
this State. that we can be regardless
Of the results Of party dissension, or
that we can care nothing as to the
class Of men who may in the near
future obtain control Of the affairs
OF the State, and to a vast extent
influence the position and the des-
tiny of our race. The Republican
idea and Interpretation of Equal
Rights before the law" finds, and
only can find under existing circum-
stances. response and sympathy in
the minds Of men '1ikeminded as
ourselves" These are the men, and
these alone. that we are compelled
by every consideration to sustain
and support. Democracy, nor any,
thing looking towards it, or that in
cidentally promotes its interests,
can have mo part nor lot with us. I"
It is equally clear that no boiling,
no merely disorganizing confedera-
ton can find favor or liberation
with US. Our situation is still too
critical to admit of division or
coquetting or speculation. We
must stand compact and firm to our
principles. and we must stand
equally stsadfast to the men of our
party who represent, and who elu-
cidate and carry out those prir-
ciples.
We are therefore glad to see that
indications are developing them
selves "here and there" already, of
an earnest desire for, and a deter
mination to insist on, the cessation
Of the present hostility and dissen-
sions in the midst Of our party. We
cannot afford to be divided in the
field, in the face of an organized,
powerful, relentless and unscrupu-
lous political antagonist. The sole
source of our strength is in our
"uMoN" and "all our weakness is in
discord." And we here chime in
with the behests of THE PEOPLE and
counsel the cultivation of a better
feeling. ..f e+
Our "old time" foes fully compre-
hending the truth of this are every
where applauding strife, and gloat-
ing over the prospect of success it
will afford them; to slide into power
between the breach, uhen ii gets ,cide
enough. This must not be. The
grand achievements of the past, the
realities of the present, and the
glorious hopes for the future must
not be buried in the ignoble grave
of a suicide. We call on the wis
dom, the patriotism, and the devo-
ton of our leaders to appreciate the
wishes of the masses, to comprehend
our danger, to sympathize in our
fears, and p save us as we'll from
the necessity of casting about for
new leaders, as from becoming the
victims in a strife as dangerous as it
is unnecessary. -....
