THE NEW LOUISIANA REMEDl
FOR sCROFULOUs DISEASES.

A new and remarkable remedy tor CONSUMf
TON and all other SCROFULOUS DISEASES has
been found in the swamp OF Louisiana
By ScrOftllous diseases is meant those that arise
from an impure or low state of the blood This IN
cludcs not only that terrible scOurge OF humanity
PULMONARY CONSUMPTION, but Coughs, Colds
Group, Catarrh, Asthma BrOnch tits, Laryngtis
Dyspepsia, General Debility, Ernptions' etc.
Ricorl the great French medical writer, says
that "COusumption is ScrOfula.' No competent
authority we suppose, now dissents from this
opinion,
This new LOUISIANA REMEDY has been thor
Oughly testedsin great variety OF cases In dis
eases Of this class, and the results have aston
ished those knowing the facts. So great is the
interest which it has excited that its manufacture
has been undertaken in New Orleans on a large
scale. Cont racts have already been made for the
supply of Massachusetts,, California. etc.
The pfOprietOrs refer to . great number OF per-
sons WHO have taken this remedy here at nome
among whom are some of the most distinguished
citizens of acknowledgement. lawyers, Judges.
editors merchants, etc.
1t is a BLOOD PURIFIER of singular power, and
acts like a oh arm on the whole system.
1t is unequaled in it's effects the respiratory
organs and the human voice. 1t is put up in two
forms, and known
smiths Puimonic Strip and smiths Life
Tonic,
And may be taken either separately or together 1t
is extremely agreeable to the taste and absolutely
harmless. Facts warrant the opinion that nothing
else will be taken for Scr0fulOus Diseases, and
for Coughs, Catarrh, Bronchitis and
Consun ption, soon the real merits Of this eI
remedy become fully known.

there for the purpose Of enabling fede

Republican State Central Committee
Never before was such an outrage perpe.
trated in this country against free political
action, and if the authors of it are per.
ritsed to go unpublished, the matter will
| not be forgotten by the people.
The very men VINO are guilty Of tbs
anti-Republican conduct, aud can not
muster five hundred voters in the State,
are the men who claim to be the Re-
publican party of the State, and up to
this time have the countenance and sup
port of the administration they have so
obviously disgraced. President Grant
has disowned their acts calling political
convention in the Customhouse and as
semblng United States troops to assist
them in carrying out their political
schemes, but he has not removed them
from Office. They are still in official
capacity enabled to make war on the
tCUntc ADMINISTRATOR ana It's 1f1c0QS.
For supporting Governor Warmoth and
his administration the great body
OF Republicans of this State are
freely denounced by this clique of
disorSanizers and usurpers as man-wor.
shippers and toadies to the Governor,
These applications, applied to the fifty
thousand Republican voters of Louisiana,
come with bad grace from the less than
five hundred political parasites who daily
sing their praises of President Grant, as
the head of the national Republican
party, simply because he retains them in
Office.
All over this vast Union the people
have spoken in thunder tones against the
toadies to national authority; against the
men who praise the President in the most
sycophantic strains and at the same
time disgrace his administration with
such anti-Republican acts as never before
were undertaken in republican America.

SOMETHING ABOUT BUGBEARs,

General Beauregard sauntered into Chi.
cago last week, and submitted to an inter
view from the reporter of the Times. as is
the custom with all public men who 90 on
pilgrimages at present. He did not say
much, as be thinks that prominent South
ern men who took part in the war are
imperfectly prepared to represent the
sentiments of the Southern people
Speaking generally, he thought the South
would progress very rapidly in the future,
as she had good material resources. Ku-
kluxism, said the General, is a buobear
that will disappear with the lapse of
time.
Two suggestions occur to us as appro-
pirate of remark in this connection
General Beauregard discredits the ruina-
ton which is constantly being advertised
by the Democratic papers as inevitable to
the South, and he desires the extirpation
Of ku-kluxism. We can agree with him
in both his belief Of our progress to pros
perity, and in his aspiration that the
spirit of violence will disappear from the
land. ku-kluxism is but name that is
used to denominate that spirit of intoler-
ance which refuses to allow of honest Diff
ferences of opinion. 1t is not bugbear.
but solid reality. There are many local
tiles in the South where man can not
set himself up as an open and avowed
General Beauregard ought
to know this as we'll as We do, and he only
sins against his conscience and against
the welfare Of the country when he con-
sents to represent this principle as
bugbear. This thing is understood.
Men take refuge behind technicality.
when they deny the existence of Ku-Klux.
They quiet their consciences by assuming

Ipf0ached with di6miSSal from the army
in the fhoe Of q contradiction from the
highest military authority under the gov
ernment? Is he not now ridiculed as a
millionaire by parties utterly ignorant Of
his resources? 1t is said that his money
was made by corruption, when the par
ties who make the charge do not know
anything about his finances, and when
| they have hundreds of instances around
them of other fortunes that have been
made honestly by honest and capable
gentlemen within much shorter space
of time than that allowed to the Gov
ernor? All these charges are repeated
day after day Notwithstanding the evil
dence to contradict them is matter OF
public notoriety.
What is the difference between public
officer and a private citizen that the one
should be freely subjected to accusations
which the other would be justified in re-
senting: What interest has the COM
munity in upholding the villifer Of its
accepted agent? Why does the voice Of
honesty fail to rebuke the spirit of
calumny when it seeks to degrade, by
groundless accusations, the faithful officer
to the same common level with the dis
honest and the disreputable? The people
Of the State of Louisiana are concerned
in these questions, because they not only
reflect upon the highest officer in the
the commonwealth, but because they
affect the welfare of the community.
Either the truth is worth preserving or it
is not, and it makes but little difference
in whose favor it exists, it is equally
worthy of protection. If il is disregarded
in one case at the suggestion of prejudice,
it will ultimately be disregarded in others
at the suggestion of selishness. Bad
men constantly assail it, because it is
their greatest enemy, just as they dishonor
virtue because it is reproach to them.
We can not spoliate good reputation
and knowingly without reducing
the value of charity and honesty, because
by dragging them down We show our dis
regard of their inestimable qualities.
And when we consent to defamation,
showing it to be groundless, we destroy
he distinction between goodness and its
opposite.
If the partisans who are arrayed against
he Governor have any substantive matter
which they are prepared to uphold with
evidence, let them bring it for
yard to his discredit. If they are with
'ut other argument against him than the
xploded ISLANDERS which have been dis
'roved by official records and irresistible
then it is time that they
eased their opposition or prepared them
elves to accept the position of deliberate
efamers.

A STUPID PROCEEDING.

The Memphis .1ppeal, which sets itself
up as a rel resentative Southern news
paper of the brightest colors, explains and
justifies the plan which. was adopted in
South Carolina, to get rid of Yankee.
This Iank happened to be a newspaper
correspondent, and in his interviewing
way he proceeded to make inquiries at
| Spartanburg. South Carolina, as to the
price of lots and lands thereabouts, which
were eagerly answered by parties who had
real estate for sale, they thinking all the
while that the inquisitive questioner was
prospective purchaser. As he did not
make any offer to buy, however, the ac-
commodating informants proceeded to
vote him fraud, and then they took
counsel how to Brighten him out of town
Certain people in South Carolina do not
like to take strangers in as a permanent
institution, since it might offend some
prejudice that exists in the State, on the
subject of politics. So these amiable
South Carolinians proceeded at once to
purge the neighborhood by manufactur-
ing dozen lies about the Ku-Klux: how
they were terrible to behold and worse to
get away from: how they were about to
meet that night; how they might make
mistake in their hurry and hang the wrong
man, and how it would be unsafe for that
particular correspondent to stay there that
night. The Yankee went away.
The Appeal as We said, publishes and
indorses this condition of facts as hugha-
BILE. Perhaps it might be so considered
by crazy man: but no sensible citizen
will pretend to any such absurdity. In
the first place. it was an inhospitable act,
which is a mean thing to commit at any
time. In the second place, the party that
perpetrated the act descended to the wick
edness ofdeliberate lying, which is equally
sinful and disreputable In the third
place, the lies that were told were calcu-
lated to injure the State and innocent peo-
pie, because the party to whom they were
told believed them and was justified in
them as truths. He was made
to be witness of the existence
of the ku-Klux in South Carolina. Who
shall defend when Southern paper ex-
cuses and laughs off such undefensible
proceedings?
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-09-21

might even refuse 10 permit an honest
Northern man to settle in Louisiana, since
the North had done SO much injury to the
South. This is the spirit Of ku-kluxism,
and it is published in double-barreled
organ of the Democracy, even in the city
of New Orleans. Suppose the reporter OF
the Chicago Times had produced the ar
ticle from the Bee and asked General
Beauregard to explain it, what would he
have said? Perhaps he would have
thought it was bugbear indeed.

SCANDAL THAT Is WICKED.

In abiding to the charges which have
been made against Governor Warmoth,
the Times very correctly remarks:
We think that all such charges ought to
be either proved or abandoned, and that
no citizen or public official ought to be sub
Jected to dishonOring accusations unless
upon evidence amounting at least to a show
ing of probable cause.
This suggestion e,nbodies rule which
the REPUBLICAN, has often inculcated and
which it has attempted to gauge it's own
conduct by. We have endeavored to ex-
clude from our columns every discredita-
Die report after it was once definitely or
even presumptively established to be with
out foundation. A principle Of justice
prompted the adoption of this rule, and a
sense Of self-interest upheld us in its OBJ
servance. newspaper is too powerful
to. be used as the instrument of scan-
dal. It loses it's reputation for reliability
when it desc to be habitually reckless
OF the truth of what it says.
Has Governor Warnoth been treated
with any approach to fairness by the OPP
position press? has the suggestion of
the Times been considered in discussing
his public or private life? Has it not
been repeated that he had grown rich by
bribery when never an instance of cor
ruption is mentioned against him? Has
not the charge that he was defaulter to
the government been repeated against
him after records of the United States
District Court were produced to clear
him, and with the Endorsement of the
Judge written on the papers that he stood |
fairly and honestly disconnected from all
trace Of offense? Has he not been re-
