repute the constitutional amendments,
both of which it now accepts and pleads
for, what did it do but put the commu-
nifty in ruinous path? When it secuted
the Legislature and made laughing
stock of the laws, what did it do but SOW
the seeds of disorder and misfortune?
And when the REPUBLICAN told the people
that the advice upon which they were
acting would prove ruinous to their best
interests, did it not act the part Of wisdom
and declare the truth in all its parts?
The correctness Of our past position is
defended by the fact that the Bulletin now
occupies the identical ground which We
occupied three years before it could see
the true light. Too much violence exists
in society, and this we have Reproduced,
not to scandalize the community, but to
correct the evil.
Too much dishonesty exists in politics
on both sides, and this We have attempted
to reform, not because our assertion of
its existence slandered the people, but be-
cause the fact da1kened their reputation
and injured their interests. Prejudice
has been used to elevate bad men to Office,
and this We have pointed to as an evil
that needed extirpation before reform
could be attempted with success. In all
these matters our voice has been that of
admonition, and not Of enmity. If the
head of a family says to his children that
they are extravagant and thoughtless,
does this lesson amount to SANDER
against his loved ones? If friend says
to his associate "You drink too much
you play too much-you consort with
evil companions to the ruin Of your good
name,' is this SANDER? If merchant
says to his partner "You are spending too
much money-you are investing wildly"
is this calumny? And yet, because we
We have performed this duty, and that,
too, against the Bulletin, which has con-
tinually misled the people into trouble out
Of which there was no way to extricate
except at immense loss, we are denounced
as slanderers Of the very society that We
hopato live with and prosper with.
When the Bulletin and its wild and
reckless associates counseled desperate
and ruinous proceedings, it was doubly
our duty to interfere, for the safety of
our own friends was involved in the re-
suit. No injury can be inflicted on New
Orleans that will not fall alike on Us and |
on our friends as it will upon the pro-
moters Of the evil. 1t is law of self |
defense we follow. If the impracticables
only ruined themselves by their impolitic
proceedings, We might remain silent;
but when their termagant proceedings
threaten all alike with destruction, it is
time for every man to defend himself
from the reckless Hotspurs who thrust
themselves forward to be the destroyers

The cotton market is active again, and,
by some buyers it is held, rules aac above the
figures of Saturday, while others assert the
general advance is covered by Ac. The
morning dispatch asserted $4,000 bales
were sold i'll Liverpool, while New York
spoke of a decided Improvement; both
taken together constituted an impulse up
ward not to be resisted. There is no doubt
but the sales will reach the highest sold
during the present year. if not pass be-
yond it, inasmuch as buyers are hurrying
to fill orders, anticipating further rise
than the day brings forth. 1t seems to be
the general impression that the present
rates, like the last, are but temporary, and
that cotton has reached a line from which
it may tack and haul for a moment, but
will approach again to its old love.
And now upon the street comes the Mis-
sissippi Valley Navigation Company stock,
in the hands Of stockholders and stockhold-
ers' men, and working the late decision of
Judge Emerson as a lever with which to
raise the wind" In addition, we are told
the boat, freighted as it is with the future
destinies Of the valley is actually {after
being in the docks five years. to be
launched, and the system is to receive its
practical demonstration. The stock yester-
day scudded before these favorable breezes.
but made no landings. The sales are con-
veniently reported at S. to S. 25 share,
but as these were the quotations some time
before the 'peremptOry mandamus it can
not be handy to work it Oft. The bottom to
it is beyond soundings. No outsiders have
sufficient hardihood to come to the assis-
tance Of the brokers who labored like
Troians to unload, but without avail.
Ammonia stayed in the background
modest and unassuming, without canvass
ers, apologists or wards. Pneumatic is so
far down as to be unnoticed in the great
whirl of movable stocks in which the street
il now merged. Lottery wisely keeps out
Of the way when its base interiors kick up
such a dust, and Slaughterhouse is to all
intents withdrawn for a rub down until
something else beside the shadow of bust
ness appears once more. TIE sole topic
outside the ordinary run consists in the
meeting of the Senate, for stock brokers as
a class keep posted in current events, and
lay by ammunition for use; but at present
the market bears the relation to lively
business that Fourth Of July cannona de
does to a pitched battle. or a popgun to a
mitrailleuse.

IN OUR OWN DEFENSE.

One Of the hobbies of the Bulletin is the
unjustifable prejudice that the REpuB-
L1cAN is continually slandering the people
of Louisiana. This error of our contem-
porary is either the relic Of mistaken
notion that prevailed three years ago, or
else it is conclusion that it borrowed
from the Price Current, and which it has
forgotten to return. We do not SANDER
the community at all, as that is neither
disposition with us, nor would it be de-
sirable faculty to cultivate. What we do
do however, is to tell the truth rather
plainly, which is often mistaken by those
to whom it is addressed in friendship as a
scandalous proceeding. Every community
has its faults, as every family has, and
those who commit these faults generally
resent being told of their misdeeds. When
We say that the Bulleti,, has been giving
the people bad advice ever since its estab-
lishment, this is not a scandalous asser-
ton if its truth can be demonstrated, is it?
And when we say that large constituency
of the people have thoughtlessly adopted
this advice, what is this but doing a
Christian duty by them, if We can estab-
lish our proposition?
For instance, the Bulletin insisted that
the people should ignore the Constitu-
tional Convention and reject its warrants,
whereby the expense Of that body was
doubled. What did it do but perpetrate
senseless and unpatriotic piece Of advice ?
When it advised the people to disregard
the reconstruction laws, and hold in dis

CAUSES AND EFFECTS.

1t seems that the departments Of Lor-
raine and Alsace, which were sold to Ger
many by France, are afflicted with some
law.ess spirits who assail and murder
German officers appointed to administer
the laws therein. This results from pre-
JUDGE and can only be defended by
stupidity, since the officers were not
responsible for the act OF sale, nor will
their death alter the status of the com
munities in which they We're assassinated
Ifsome intelligent newspaper had arisen in
Alsace and denounced these assassinat;ons
as cowarily, and the people that allowed
them to be committed their own worst
enemies, would that paper have been out
lawed as the slanderer Of the Alsatians?
1fthat newspaper had told the people fur
tier that these unworthy acts would bring
martial law upon the state, involving all
the people, guilty and innocent alike,
under the terrible subsection of the sword,
would it have justly subjected itself to the
charge Of being the enemy Of the people
whose faults it declared and whose fate it
foretold: Hardly. And We: in the United
States this is just what has occurred.
The South was reconquered into the
Union after long and bitter war, and all
human experience justified the govern
ment in supposing that the Southern peo-
pie would feel sore toward the laws tina:
they were forced to accept and toward the
officers who represented power that had
beaten them. And since the United
States was bound to spread its laws and
send its officers over the South, it reserved
the right and held in its hands the power
to enforce the one and to protect the
other. But it appealed to the good sense
of the people that since they were bound
to live in the Union their best policy
would be to obey the law and to respect
the officer. And for enforcing this sug-
gestion with might and main, and for
urging the people to be good citizens
both for their own interest and to pre-
serve themselves from being visited with
rougher usage, which we knew to be in
store for the refractory, the Republican
press in the South has been derided,
scorned and spit upon as the enemy of
the very community which it was trying
to save. AS we can imagine that sensible
advice was rejected in Alsace, so we know
that it has been rejected in the South,
and as the causes were the same SO the
effects are identical. Martial law has su-
perseded the milder forms of the civil au-
thority in South Carolina, and the bay
onet sets in judgment on the Ku-K!ux in
Alsace and Lorraine.
We feel profound pity for both COM
munities, or rather for that portion of
them which condemns private assassina-
ton as the means to facilitate political de-
signs; but since they have not needed
good advice, nor defended themselves from
evils which they could have avoided by
being better citizens, they must bear their
load Of military rulers as the natural con-
sequence of their own sins of omission.
