bennett, whose surname is Chattanoo-

from falling into stupendous night of
ignorance, that the REPUBLICAN feels
called upon to congratulate him upon
his safe delivery. Colonel John FORSYTH
Of the Mobile Register, the "best in

happy instrument of the salvation. The
way Of it was this: bennett, in his unut-

the New Orleans, Mobile and Chattanoo-

and SO informed the simple minded Area

Times, OF this city, set up with bennett
OF nights laboring to convince him of his
ignorance, but he refused to be enlight-
ened and insisted in spreading error
broadcast among his rural constituents.
IN order to fortify himself he applied to

Colonel Forsyth, and was promptly in

was stagnating. This was useless

TIE nEuQORACY.T

The decentralization of the Democracy
becomes every day more apparent through
out the length and breadth of this coun-
try. In the city of New York, where 1t
was strongest and claimed to be potential
in giving direction to the movements OF
the national Democratic party, it is now
wreck, in consequence of the immense
frauds that have been fastened upon the
Democratic officials of that city-men
who were connected with the. Tammany
ring, and through it expected to lay the
wires for making the next President. The
discovery and exposure of the vast vii
lainies that have been perpetrated in New
York have had most damaging effect on
the Democracy all over the country. The
Democratic rooster is no longer able to
hold up his head and crow with any hope
of winning the fight in 1872. Even in
Kentucky, where the Democracy have
lately succeeded in electing a gov
ernor, they are wonderfully de-
moraized on the subject of the
next Presidential election. This state
of things has become SO apparent to
many who exercise political influence that
they are recommending the Democrats to
take up conservative Republican, and
run him as their candidate for the Pres
idency. Such men as Trumbull, Chase,
Gratz Brown, and Davis have been spoken
of in the past, and now the Chicago
Republican, an Independent paper, pro-
poses that the Democrats make Horace
Greeley their candidate for President If
the Democrats can make up their minds
to do this, they will certainly give better
proof than ever before that they have
abandoned all old issues Of principle, and
agreed to meet the new issues that are
made by Republicans. Horace Greeley is
one of the original Republicans. This
can not be truthfully denied. He favors
the three new amendments to the consti-
tuition, and the reconstruction measures
adopted by Congress.
He is in perfect unison with the Repub-
lican party in all things, perhaps, except
the denomination of President Grant for
q second Presidential term. If the Re-
publicans are divided on this question he
is undoubtedly with that portion which is
in favor of the one term principle. Now,
if the Democracy have really abandoned |
all old issues and desire to make sue
cessful issue of the one term principle |
they have an opportunity of helping to
do this BY joining hands with the one
term Republicans and voting for Mr..
Greeley for President. The Grant Re-
publicans could not object to this, and a
AIR expression Of the people might be
mad upon an entirely new issue. If the
Democrats are opposed to Grant because
hey honestly think he wants to make this
a central despotism they have
N opportunity to prove this by accepting
he Chicago Republicans proposition to
dept Horace Greeley as their candidate
or President.

ought not to have been levied, since the
facts of the case might have been OBJ
tanned from any brakeman Or day laborer
on the line Of the New Orleans, Mobile
and Chattanooga road, or of any other
railroad.
Now, suppose Colonel Forsyth, who is
deeply engaged in wrestling with the
''new departure" had been as badly in
formed as bennett was, the night of ig-
norance that prevails in the Planters Ban
ner Office, and which is thence unrolled
over all Iberia, would have been solidifed
and petrifed until nothing short of a
pickax could have penetrated its stolidity.
Forsyth's error would have confirmed
and intensified Dement'S ignorance, just
as one destructive principle often fuses
with and aggravates another. The wis.,
dom Of Forsyth, which, we contend, was
accidental under the circumstances of his
unremitting labor with the new departure,
was Dement'S salvation, and this, we
contend, was truly remarkable instance
of rescue from hayward and self-taught
ignorance This obstinate Iberian would
have been plunged into Serbonian fog
but for the fortunate enlightenment of a
stranger to Louisiana It was wonder
full escape, and no mistake. And the
half drowned stupid is almost inclined to
insist on continuing in his own willful
wickedness, which does not surprise US
at all, considering his nature. The RE-
PUBLICAN will still labor for his informa-
ton and enlightenment, however, as usual.
We invoke to our assistance the prayers
of the righteous.

We are glad to learn, as we do from a
communication from Mr.. Ash, which we
publish in another place, that the pro-
position to shell Marengo street is better
fortified with precautionary measures
than we had at first feared. Our sole
motive in raising the question was to
prevent the city being taken by surprise,
and Mr.. Ash has fully satisfied us that
the forms required by law have been
complied with. As to the main point,
the Smelling of the street, we deem it
work Of almost vital necessity to the
people in that part of the city.

ANOTHER EXPLODED SENSATION.

| AS II to ventllate Its enterprise and &C
quire reputation with the other sensa
tional journals of the country, the Plea
yune, last week, employed its Astronomical
reporter to investigate the sidereal world
for forthcoming denotenseut likely to
parallel this terrestrial sphere in its
aqueous demonstration, called the tidal
wave, which was advertised to inundate
this hemisphere, or section of it, on the
sixth day Of October. Equal to the occa-
sion, the Bohemian Of the starry heights
at once surveyed his realm, and figured
out the very event which he was employed
to discover. Our tidal wave was to occur
on the sixth of October in the New World.
The cradle of creation was to be left un-
touched by this later deluge. What a
chance to compensate the grievance of the
West by inflicting an equally terrible
disaster upon the East! Bohemian editors
are fertile and just. They believe in the
law of the equilibrium. If the nose
sneezes the eye must drop moisture.
The Picaytne reported that as we were
to have the tidal wave on the sixth, Asia
would feel the fearful jar of Encke's
comet on the same day. 1t was more pre-
else than the author Of the tidal wave, for it
specified that at eleven hours and forty lone
minutes after noon on the sixth the comet
would Craze the earth in the East, strik-
Ing somewhere between the Indian ocean
and the Himalayan mountains. 1t was
delightfully."- precise in its time and coun-
try, but remarkably indefinite in its rela-
ton Of what was to transpire. All the
information it deigned to give US was that
the comet ''would knock down some small
mountains, drag its vapory appendage
across the map OF China and end by adj
justing the relations of land and water on
this side of the world How the comet
was to knock down small mountains when
there were big ones in the way, and why
it should drag its vapory appendage over
a map of China when the country was
much easier to get at, the reporter did not
consider it worth his while to explain.
He was no doubt satisfied with his work
and left the task OF reconciling difficulties
to those who might originate them.
But the Chicago Tribune refuses to take
in any part of the story. 1t says that
Encke's comet was not due in Asia on tie
sixth, that when it does come it will not
collide with this planet, and that if it
should, as it does not weigh more than a
ton, the amount of damage it would do
can hardly be imagined by any class of
people but the reporter of the Picayuae.
As the Picoyune circulates in Asia it
had better contradict its story at once.

CUsT0MH0UsE IRREGULARITIES. :"

VUOAVA0VO01 4hh60UAA611l60."
We have been requested to call the
attention of Secretary Boutwell, to very
grave Irregularities lately and now exist
ing in the New Orleans Customhouse.
Notwithstanding the fact that each officer
and employe in the Customhouse service
is required to make oath when he receipts
for his salary, that the money paid to
him is for his own exclusive use and
benefit, and not for the use or benefit of
any other person, the Customhouse
authorities here require each subordinate,
whatever may be his salary, to contribute
twenty-five dollars of the amount to the
fund for the support of the Citizens
Guard, the Customhouse organ.
To night inspectors, whose monthly
salary is only ninety dollars, the deduc-
ton of twenty-five dollars from that salary
is not only severe hardship, but great
wrong. We are informed that Custom
house subordinates are told that they
must either submit to the deduction from
their salary of twenty-five dollars, for
which share of the newspaper stock is
issued, or they will be removed.
Such an ''irregularity" as this, we are
confident, will not be tolerated by Secre-
tary Boutwell,, and, at the request of some
of the victimized subordinates, we direct
his attention to the grievous and shame
full wrong, and appeal to him to interpose
his authority by applying the remedy, and
thus allow Customhouse officials to receive
their full salary and avoid the penalty of
perjury in making oath that they receive
it all for their own use, when they do not
do so.
We shall see if there is not a speedy
end to this shameful outrage, an outrage
never before perpetrated under Repub-
lican administration. Perhaps Secretary
may remember that the name of
D Massachusetts, collector of the customs.
before the Senate for confirmation, was
by President Buchanan be-
cause the collector deducted ten per cent |

aiming Democratic paper, but really to !

90 into the collectors private pocket.
Let it not be said that the administration
OF President Grant is less pure than that
of James Buchanan, the President under
whose rule secession raised its hideous
head and the country was plunged into
long and bloody war.
