A C4USFIESS SCARF,

For some time past the Harper papers,
both monthly and weekly, have been
preaching crusade against the Roman
Catholic Church Of this country. Accord
ing to these alarmists there is serious
danger Of such q spread Of "Popery"
throughout the United States as shall
seriously endanger the stability, nay the
very existence of our republican institu-
tons. The attention Of q lUkewarm
public is called to the fact that cathedrals,
churches, chapels, converts, asylums
theological seminaries, ETC., are rapidly
springing up throughout the length and
breadth Of our land, all devoted to the
dissemination Of Popery, and that, in adj
dition to all this, the Romish priesthood
are endeavoring to possess themselves Of
the public schools, by compelling the ex-
clusion from them Of the Protestant
Bible" In this seeming success Of the old
church our timid contemporaries see deep
cause Of alarm. Visions Of long process
sions of dark-robed priests, bearing alofr
crucifxes and images Of fair young
maidens tyranically immured within con
vent walls f; Of holocausts Of Protestant
Bibles" blazing under the MONDAY sun;
Of the rack, the thumb-screw, the alto-ds
fe; in short of all the horrors Of the Span
ism nquisition float before their distemp-
cred imagination, making them dread
return to the ecclesiastical tyranny Of the
middle ages. This retrogressive action is
to be gradually brought about in these pro-
gressive days, and in this enlightened coun-
try, through the instrumentality ofIrishim-
migration, Romish institutions, Jesuitism,
and the Democratic party; the first az

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1872

criminate calumny some of the best citi-
zens of Louisiana, men of unimpeachable
honor and character, as ''the shadow, cats
paw and tool of high official, ''and
ready to combine with the enemies of the
South to defeat their own people.
Will the Ptcayane tell US who wrote
those lines? Was it a native of the South,
or were they traced by an alien and an
adventurer, who, estimating the intentions
of the immigrants to Louisiana by his own,
say they came here to plumber and out
rage the people. There need be no fear
in answering the question that Colonel
Penn and others will hold the skulker to
personal responsibility. There are some
things beneath contempt; and many a
wretch who would otherwise have covered
beneath just punishment, has owed his
safety to the. same impunity.
We care little what management con-
trolls the Pjcaynse, but for decency's sake
we trust it will be amenable to the COM
mon courtesies and prophecies of life.

THE PICAYUNB IMBR0GLIO.

The ridiculous position which the man
ayers Ct the PicaDme have got it into be-
fore the public, and the consequent dis
satisfaction Of the stockholders, is more a
matter Of regret to right-thinking men
than ridicule. True, the paper is an anon
ally of journalism. Once distinguished
for ability, and the graceful purity Of its
editorial matter, its lapse into a mere pot
house organ, redoIent of abuse and Vi
Imperative epithet, excites regret proper
toned to its former excellence.
This imbroglio can not be considered a
private affair. It certainly involves pri-
vate interests, but it is equally true that it
depends on public patronage for support.
Offered to the community as a medium Of
intelligence, it of necessity challenges
scrutiny and provokes criticism. In this
light it engages our attention. Asa politi-
cal opponent we have no right to expect
that in its discussion of public matters
courtesy and fairness will characterize it.
Obloquy is not argument, and abuse, cal
jimmy and deception are the weakest in
struments that can be employed by an OPP
ponent. 1t indicates either weakness Of
intellect, or a predisposition to habits Of
thought'and expression not acquired amid
social refnements, or the practices usual
with the cultured and we'll informed.
The Pjcaylns, under. its new manage
ment, made graceful, but somewhat
transcendentaI saIutatory It promised
many things, and created great expecta-
tons as a conservative organ; but in the
language of its president, Its vacilating
and contradictory tone" on public ques-
tons aroused "a public conviction that it
was the advocate Of Grant, and in conse-
quence the disguised enemy Of the people
whose interests it falsely pretended to adj
vance. Even yetit loses no opportunity for
an insidious sheer at the Baltimore n0mi-
nees, and clothes with elaborate courtesy
its references to Grant Its politics have
changed with every public excitement
and calumny Of political opponents (who
for the time share its dlslike) have been
noticeably in contrast with its alleged at
tempt to "do away with the opportunity
for the wicked and the temptation for the
weak by having a journalism that will
never rest, and never sleep, and that can
neither be seduced or eIuded in its four
fold capacity Of inquest, memory, monitor
and conscience Of the people.
But, as if in direct contradiction Of this
last Pretense, its ''vacilating and contra
dictory course" according to President
Brickell, involved business complications
from the direction of Texas, whence most
valuable patronage was received, @and to
secure this support any change, or the
advocacy of any views, was ready to be
made: certainly an irreconciable posi-
ton for paper holding in its hands 1.-THE
inquest, memory, monitor and conscience
Of the people" Was it a ver.fcation Of !
its lofty Pretenses to de1ou1ce with tudis-

TO LET, AND WHAT OF 1T.

If the facts could be ascertained, we
would be safe in wagering years. sub
scription to the REPUBLICAN (Which is the
only bet that will pay if we lose it,, that
the owners of three-fourtLs of the houses
that are labeled to rent belong to the
Bourbon Democracy. And it would be
safe to bet another subscription that they
are about the worst scared set of land
lords that ever owned real estate in a city
that was in a state Of uncertainty between
a prolonged case Of debility and prompt
restoration to good health. 1t is uni
versally admitted that if Kellogg and
Antoine are elected, public confidence
will be shaken in this State as it never
was shaken before. We admit this as
Republicans, not from what we know Of
the intentions Of these men, but from
what we dread at their hands. Parties
in Europe and the North have already in
structed their agents il this city to invest
