POLITICAL JUDGES,

One of the satisfactory features of the
recent election in New Yerk city is the
overwhelming defeat of three political
judges. Jones and Spencer lost their
election for judges of the Superior Court
by about twenty thousand majority. But
the Tammany candidate for the Supreme
Court, Judge Ledwith, has been beaten
by forty-four thousand majority. He has
occupied the bench for several terms, and
is man of undoubted ability; but he
lacked the firmness to disregard political
influence, and has lost his place by the
very means employed by him to secure it.
If all the constituents of political Judges
would be thus watchful, and be ever
ready to apply the corrective to the
abuses which from time to time creep
into the elective system, it would 90 far
to restore it to the traditional purity its
charter attained under the appointing
power. And as We shall be called upon
next year to elect successors to our own
district judges, it will be we'll for US to
bear in mind the example of New York

Z GREAT ACTOR.

Edwin Forrest, the actor, known ia,
and wide as the ''great American TRACE.
dian, will be in New Orleans next week
TO I'LL an engagement at the St. Charles
Theatre. He is seventy years ofage, and the
public has been prepared since long time
TO hear OF his retirement from the stage. In
fact' MI. Forrest has often advertised his
maj appearance, and, We doubt not, with
perfectly honest intention and sincere
disposition to retire from the labors and
.r'umphs that have made him famous for
na1 century. But his nature, which
demanded exertion; his system which
would not break, and his love of the pro-
fession, which refused to quit him. still
maintain their sway over his actions and
devote him to the work for which he was
originally fashioned. In this respect he

SPITE AND BUSINESS.

The New York Commercial Adrertise,
publishes little paragraph that would
do credit to any of our domestic Ku-Klux
organs:
New Orleans very kindly offers to relieve
Chicago in the hour Of woe by doing her
business. She advises Chicago merchants
to ship their cereals down the Mississippi
The New Orleans Picay,tne answers by
vaunting our charity to Chicago, and by
throwing in the face of those we have
helped the fact that they never helped US,
which is good way to neutralize the no.
bility Of our generosity.
The best answer to the spitefulness of
the Commercial Adre,tiser is this, that the
transportation Of grain from the West to
New Orleans is business transaction,
and that New Orleans proposes now, as
she has done fo- years, to do it cheaper
than the Northern railroads can, and that
sentiment has nothing whatever to do
with such a transaction as this. If
Chicago finds it to her interest to ship
cereals down the Mississippi she ought
to do so at once as the best alienation of
the great affliction which has befallen
her. And when we offer to do this carry
ing trade in her interest, and for the ben
eft of the farmers that support her, New
York has nothing to gain by being spite
full on the subject. The greater the
commerce between the West and South,
the broader and deeper will grow the
love of the people for the whole country.

The London Times has a special set of
pigeon holes that contain we'll written
obituaries of all the public men in the
world. The convenience of this is that
SO soon as distinguished individual dies
the Times is ready with his mortuary no.
tice. The New Orleans Times carries the
convenience further than its London
namesake, for it evidently has pigeon
hole for the obituaries of political parties,
since it publishsd an elaborate mortuary
notice of the death of the Bourbon
Democracy, even while the telegraph was

SHALL SILENCE PREVAIL?

After paying the REPUBLICAN a hand
some compliment for its sense and patriot
ism in indorsing Horatio Seymour as a
good and worthy candidate for the New
York Legislature, the New Orleans Price
Current clouds its very amiable proposition
with remark that was not called for, and
which was not true. 1t says that We are
not always just and reasonable, but that
We are given sometimes to the utterance
of suggestions that, "like a baleful
shadow, darkens our social surface, and
reflect US abroad in the darkest hues."
This saying Of the Price Current is not
wise, for this reason, that the suggestions
which we make are founded upon what
We consider to be the truth, and ere pub
lished. not for the purpose of darkening
the social surface, but for the better pur-
pose of polishing it. Evils exist in every
community, and the duty of the press is
to point them out and ask for their cor.
rection. Intelligent citizens look at So
ciety from different stand points, and de-
fects which appear to one do not appear
to others at the same time or of the same
magnitude. Our focus scans one side of
the commercial, social and political hori-
zon while that of the Price Current oh.
serves another. The evils that manifest
themselves to US, fail of detection by
our neighbor, but that does not
destroy them. And it is just as much
our duty to declaim against the defects
that appear to us as it is his duty to de-
nounce those that are patent to him.
And it is far worse to remain silent than
it is to speak out, for if we fail to an.
nounce the disease it will overthrow us.
while if We declare against it the world
will say these people know their trouble
md will surely proceed to remedy it. |
While the frauds which are now well nm.
1erstood in New York were being inyesti-
gated certain timid parties said that it
would injure the city to declare how ruin
'usly she had been misgoverned. Does
he Price Current indorse this idea? If it
loes it can not understand the view we
axe of public duty.

who often gave out that they had retired
from political life, but Who as often reap
peared in that arena where their
services were wanted, where their
affections continued to linger, and
where alone they were prepared to
labor: All Of our statesmen have died in
harness. General Washington occupied
his last moments in thinking of his be-
loved country, and in framing advice to
his countrymen. jefferson, at Monti-
cello, was political thinker and worker
until his death. General Jackson was the
fountain of Democratic power up to the
last moment of his stirring life. And his
great rival, the beloved Clay, died in the
midst Of his devouring desire to compro-
mise the troubles that threatened the
Union with disruption. Like these men,
Forrest still holds to the character and
and the profession which has engrossed
his life. He is possessed of q vitality
which refused to remain inactive, and
since he can be nothing hut an actor. he
continues to act.
The Cincinnati Commercial, which is
truthful and reliable paper in all things,
reports the appearance Of Mr.. Forrest in
that city, and in an extended criticism of
his performances, credits him with an ex-
cellence that is not marred by his ex-
tended age. He is better, if anything, his
physical energy being amply sufficient to
sustain him in the characters which he
assumes, while his large experience and
long practice make him a greater master
OF his own passions and the feelings Of
his audience than he ever exercised before.
His voice is mellowed and better educated,
and yet his physique shows no signs of the
waste of age. His engagement in Cincin-
natl has been great histrionic triumph, |
rejecting all the old glory Of the legitimate

IRE proud. He was the first to contend for

I
The smoke Of the political contest hal
now dleaSed sasay in New York, and th'
result is known. Two of the prominen
and striking features already developed
are the election of William H.. Tweed
and the defeat of Horatio Seymour, bott
candidates for the State Senate. For one
moment, on . recent occasion, forgetting
the precept that we can not expect figs to
grow on thistles, or grapes on thorns, We
spoke hopefully Of the possible election
of Mr.. Seymour. This was done not be-
cause We preferred him to his competitor,
whom we suppose to be q good Repub.
lican, and whose election satisfies us
entirely, but because he is q remarkable
exception to the ordinary run of Demo-
cratic candidates. The party made an
exception in his favor, by placing in NOM
ination an honest, pure minded, intelli-
gent man for an important Office, and we
may be pardoned if we felt desire to see
the experiment crowned with success, in
order that it might be taken as a good
example to be followed by that party
everywhere. And as his opponent is
Republican, and consequently patriot,
| We are satisfied that he would have found
in circumstance SO gratifying and unex-
pected sufficient satisfaction to compen-
safe for his own personal disappointment.
But such result did not come. Mr..
Seymour is merely an honest Democrat
Of the old school. He stands almost
alone, or at least surrounded by but few
followers, not enough to secure his eiec-
ton, and his Republican competitor
carries of the honors of the victory.
But away in another part of the State,
in the commercial metropolis of the re-
public. We ind the party true to its mod
ern instincts. William NJ. Tweed is one
of the newest Of Democratic leaders He |
was dedged in the school of Fernando
Wood during the war, and soon found
means to improve upon the practices of
his tutor. He has grown rich by bare
faced frauds, and perpetuated his power
by the very money he has made by them.
He openly boasts Of owning, politically
speaking, the two city wards embraced in
his senatorial district And the result
proves this to be no idle boast. He has
nassed his legions of corrupt, ignorant,
Desotted adherents at the polls, and
secured his election despite the opposition
IT the better men Of his own party, who
put up reform candidate and gave him
heir feeble support. Such are the fruits
IT modern Democracy. Such will be well
'omed by the faithful throughout the
country as a Democratic victory. Horatio
seymour, the gentleman, the statesman
nd the patriot, is neglected by his own
GLOWING while the party rallies its for
orn hope to save Tweed, the proclaimed
and brings him off in triumph.
his is the fruit of Democratic honesty.
We had rather better opinion of the
onesty of our political opponents in the
ural districts, but our eyes are open to
be error.
Fortunately for the interests of all the
eople in the State Of New York, there
ill be enough Republicans in the Senate

But to which party does
