The PROPER SPIRIT.-The following is from
the n. o. Picayune, since it's "new departure" "
We will here remark that this old established
journal is now in the hands of gentlemen whose
honesty of purpose and we'll known editorial
talent and energy will WELD powerful influence
for the redemption of our State from the ruin
and degradation to which it has been brought
by corruptionists, of the carpet-bag and
scallawag stripe. The peoples Paper is GER
tainly taking the proper course by exchewing
halfway measures,-we have had more than
enough of that sort of humbug, and it is high
time that some more effective plan were adopted
for relieving our State of the incubus which is
fast sending it to -ruin.
The Picayune says:
''Some of our readers except, as we learn, to
the alleged severity of our epithets against the
public robbers. We intend to leave no doubt,
as we make no compromise. Reform can no
more be made with rose water than other revo
lutions. We have heard of an insane man who
required a workman to take off the black dash
board of his buggy, and replace it with one of
fair leather. On being asked his reason, he re-
piled: 'There is great deal of thunder and
lightning this season. This dashboard looks
exactly like sheet iron at distance. l am
afraid the lightning may make d mistake and
knock me out of this buggy: wish it fired so
pOSotOttty
this matter" We intend that when popular in
dignation shall flash upon all who arc RESPONSE
BILE for the debt and dishonor left upon this I'M
happy State, after the Bohemians shall have
departed, it shall not strike the Pcayune. This
is very important matter and We intend
there shall be no possibility of mistake in our
position.s
Circus CONING-From letter addressed to
us by Mr.. D. S. Thomas, Literary Agent, for
Dan Rice's Paris Pavilion Circus, we make the
following extract:
New Orleans, Feb. Sth 1872.
Dan Rice with his monster circus company,
will give two exhibitions in your place about the
close of the present month. Our advance agent
will see you in time to give date and details &c.
Mr. Rice has organized a troupe composed en-
trey of leader in the profession, and his success
in the larger cities has been something hitherto
unknown in the history of arenic amusements
in this country. Many of his Acrobats, Gym
nasts, Equestrians and Trapese performers are
secured at an expense that would be considered
next to bankruptcy by any other managers in
the business Your New Orleans exchanges will
give some idea of the magnitude of the enter
prise &c,
We will have more to say on this promised
treat in our next number.

prices, which they could we'll afford to re-
duce, because, most probably, the Board,
when acting, would have made the redue.
ton.
But there was and could be nothing ''en-
trapping" in tho second general order of
May 20, 1872, for Congress itself, by its
act of May IL, 1872, generously extended
the amount to 10000. The Commission
ers had nothing to do with it but to exc
cute the law as Congress made it, and it
may be safely averred, that nc proceeding
of the Board is more acceptable to claim
ants, and has given them more satisfaction,
than this convenient and beneficent arrange
ment of special commissioners.
"But suppose the claimants says this
accuser of the Board, to have succeeded in
running the gauntlet OF in~terrogations, he
has still the black lists to pass through"
| suppose the ''black lists" referred to,
are the Confederate documents recently
purchased by the Government-and most
properly-of Colonel Pickett, or the rebel
papers captured during the war, now on
file in the War Department, and indexed
for reference. These papers disclose the
political sentiments and acts of many prom
inent Confederates, and have convicted of
blatant disloyalty, some of the parties who
have appeared before the Board with heavy
claims, asserting their loyalty with most
positive asseveration. Among those thus
convicted, is Mr.. Jonas p. Levy, with his
ten thousand dollar claim,) one of the
North Carolina sufferers, whom the Patriot
correspondent so much commiserates for
the hardship he has had to endure at the
hands of the Board.
Surely no honest man will object to so
wholesome q use of these "black lists"
Nor can any honest-minded person take
exception to the printed lists Of claimants,
sent from time to time to the postmasters
of the country, to be publicly posted for
the information of the public. These, too,
keep the disloyal in check, and tend to
head off fraud.
How the Southern Claims Commission
is a powerful instrument in the hands of
the Administration" it is not easy to per-
ceive.
If it can be made such instrument, it can
only be by the most profuse allowances
allowances so profuse as to appeal to the
necessities or supidity Of claimants, and in
that mode corrupt them to the support of
the Administration. But the fault-finding
critic OF the Daily Patriot, who SO arraigns
the Board, himself %pronounces its vindica-
ton when he charges it with "merciless
cutting down" of claimants demands.
He could not have paid a higher tribute
to the judicial integrity of the Board, for
the position he takes, especially as to the
insignificant allowances in North Carolina
and elsewhere, shows conclusively, that it
is wholly above tho temptation of partisan
consideration.
If there is fault anywhere, it is not in the
Board, but in Congress. Congress passed
the law the Board executes it as it finds
it.
: On the whole, loyal claimants in the
South have no reason to distrust the Board.
All they are legally entitled to, and can
mako proof of, they will realize, and as
early as the vast amount of business before
the Board will allow.
