Rhode Island very quietly elected State
ticket and Legislature yesterday. Seth Padel-
ford. Republican, was chosen Governor by a
majority of 1871 The present Lieutenant
Governor, Pardon w. Stevens, was defeated
for reelection by local quarrel, which cost
him $50 votes. The remainder of the Repub
lican State ticket was elected, and the Legs-
lature is, as usual, overwhelmingly Republican.
There is no Senator to elect from Rhode
Island this year, and no special outside issues
entered into the canvass which has just been
90 peacefully concluded.

Secretary Robeson's explanation of his con-
duct ia tie SocOr affair has every appearance
Of candor and fairness. The disposal of the
claim which has made so much noise seems to
have been a legacy from the chaotic manage
ment of the Navy Department by Admiral
Porter. That pragmatic officer had way
peculiarly his own of acting as Secretary,
President, and Congress, and great confusion
was introduced into the Department during
lis brief reign. The Secretary mas, however,
made out good case, reinforced, as he is, by
the decision OF the Treasury Department.

Reform.
Says the Marksville Register

Says the Marksville Register:
In our issue of last week, we re-
marked that resumption of legisla-
tive business might be speedily ex-
peeted, and the result of the past
week proves that we were not mis-
taken.
While the valiant Colonel Carter
and his followers have contented
themselves with mass-meetings, in
which they have promised no end of
reforms, the members who from the
first remained faithful to their duties
have commenced the work in earnest,
and, acting upon the suggestions con-
yeyed in the message of the Governor,
have repealed the Registration, Con
stabulary and Printing laws-three
measures which had survived their
usefulness and the repeal of which is
an evidence that the work ofrefOrn is
to be carried out in earnest,

Running a Newspaper.

e -.
The Memphis Auataache has the
following suggestive paragraph, which
should be carefully read and pondered
over by certain class of newspaper
readers
By some unaccountable misappre-
hension of facts, there is ii large class
of people in the world who think it
costs nothing to run newspaper, and
if they buy copy from newsboy
when too far from the Office to beg,
think they are regular patrons, and
entitled to unlimited favors. Men
call every day at the Office to get
copy OF the paper, just from the press,
for nothing, who would never think of
begging pocket handkerchief from a
dry goods store, an apple from con-
fectioner, even on plea of old ac-
quaintance, OF having bought some
thing before.
One paper day amounts to nothing,
but a hundred day amounts to con-
siderable in the course of time. Bat
this is a small drain compared with
the free advertising newspaper is
expected to do. Some men who have
paid two dollars for an advertisement
worth four or five dollars, appear to
think they are stockholders in the es-
tablishment for life. They demand
the publication of marriages, funeral
notices, obituaries and family epi-
sodes, for the next fortyyears. "Don't
| patronize your paper 81 9 Yes, but
you received the value for what you
paid" But,n says the patron, it
will cost you nothing to put this in"
which is just about as ridiculous as to
ask a man to grind your axe on his
grind-stone and tell him it won't cost
him a cent.
1t takes money to run newspaper
as well as any other business, and no
paper succeeds financially which car
ries on a dead-head system. Any
mention of the peoples affairs they
wish to see in print, is worth paying
for, and when printed is generally as
good as any other investment of the
| same amount.
The newspaper business is very ex-
acting on all connected with it, and
the pay is comparatively small. The
proprietors risk more money for
smaller profits, and the reporters and
editors and printers work harder aud
cheaper than any other class of men
requiring the given amount of intelli-
gence, training and drudgery. The
life has its charms and pleasant asso-
Citations scarcely known to the outside
world, and anxieties, and hours for
exhaustion, which, likewise, are not
known to those who think the busi-
ness all fun. The idea that newspaper
dom is charmed circle, where the
members lead a life of ease, free from
care, and go to the circus at night on
a free ticket, and TO the Springs i'll
summer on a free ticket, is an idea
which we wish to explode practically
and theoretically.
Business is business, and the journal
that succeeds is the one that is con
ducted on a square business footing
the same as banking or building
bridges, keeping hotel OF running 8
livery stable.

Governor WarmOth.

Perhaps there is not another public
man in the Union who would not have
succumbed in the trying ordeal
through which Governor Warmoth is
triumphantly passing at this moment.
Opposed by a numerous band of COR
ruptionists and red-headed disorgan-
izers, whose avowed purpose was to
rule or ruin the commonwealth, with
a daring and persistency almost un-
paralleled, and which single him out
as most consummate leader, almost
unaitled and alone he dislodges and
routs his blood thirsty foes. His wis
dom, no less than his courage, has
saved the Crescent City from a new
baptism OF blood. For while the law
makers of Royal street, under their
Texan leader, would be law breakers
of Royal street, the timely and etfec-
tive measures adopted by our youth
full but indomitable Governor. pre-
vented a collision whose tragic results
would assuredly be. felt at many a
hearth. Devoted to the laws, and to
every interest of that public to which
he is the guardian as well as the serv-
ant, his actions admitted of no pre-
text which favors the designs of un-
principled men. Conscious of the
justice of his course, he wrapped him
self in the panoply of the law, and re-
fused to compromise the dignity OF
the State, by surrender of a single
public right. The issue, which gives
such universal satisfaction, proves
the genius as well as the patriotism of
him to whose mastery alone it is due.

thern people, composing as they do a
large majority of the voters of the
country, should declare that none but
true Northern men, should hold of
fee? But the Northern people say
no such thing. The Republican por-
tion of them insist only ON national
men for Office. They are not controlled
in their ideas of government by sec
tional consideration. They are not
even disposed to inquire into anteced-
ents, provided they are satisfied the
applicant for Office is loyal at heart
and true to the whole country. This
fidelity to the whole country can be
shown only by acts. The applicant
for position under the Government
who is urged by his friends, OF who
urges himself, on the ground that he
is a g true Southern man" in the sense
used by the Enquirer and those it
represents, at once becomes an object
of suspicion to loyal men, and does,
indeed, by the very ground upon
which he bases his application, dis
qualify himself from serving accepta-
bly, the whole country.
The representative men of the South
are those who are true to the nation
rather than to a section, and who are
| elected by a majority of votes. All
other men may be "true Southern
men," but they are not representative
men. To permit such to control and
shape the destinies of the South would
be, virtually, to establish the so-called
Confederacy.
Every minded citizen is not
only disposed to coneiliate the South,
but anxious to do so. But the South
must put itself in an attitude to be
conciliated. 1t must meet the Gov
eminent at least half way. 1t must
not come forward with a pout and a
frown, and then expect to have sugar
plums crammed in its mouth. Con-
ciliation, to be etfectual and lasting,
can be promoted and accomplished
only by doing justice to both sides
When the Government gives, the
South must not hold back. Above all
there must be confidence between the
two. The work of conciliation pre-
supposes friendly feeling. We fee
sure the Government entertains this
feeling for the Southern people. Let
them reciprocate it as they should, and
the policy of conciliation will prevail
to be followed surely and speedily by
full and final reconciliation between
sections heretofore more or less es-
tranged, embittered and alien toward
each other. Those who control thu
National Government can have NJ
motive but the good of the whole
country. We believe that, while they
will do Justice to all, they will lose NJ
suitable opportunity to conciliate ant
compose the Southern people. This
is, doubtless, regarded by them as tht
high dictate alike of interest and du
ty. Ii i'll feeling, insubortlination ant
violence are to continue i'll the South
| and become chronic, it will not be tn,
fault of the Government nor of th,
Northern people.

Tariff ON Type.

If the tariff on type used by the
American printers were removed, type
could be bought for about threefi fitths
of the present price. Ifit be claimed
that type founding is an American in
dustry that is entitled to protection,
we answer sol printing an Ameri-
can industry, hundreds of times more
important employing hundreds, per-
haps thousands of times as many me-
chanics and as much of capital as type
founding. Printers are manufacturers
of no small Importance. Any bounty
or tax upon their tools and imple-
ments is a tax, not only upon one
of our great industries, but a tax upon
knowledge and education. Tax on
type makes the primer and spelling
book cost more to all the children OF
the land, to say nothing of its being a
clog upon all public and private libra
ries.
If it be true, as we state above, that
the printers of the United States pay
two-fifths of their type purchases, as
a tax to monopoly, is it not about
time they represented the fact to their
members of Congress This tax does
not go to the Government, because
scarcely any type is imported. Itcan
be removed in three months, if every
newspaper publisher will address a
letter to his member of Congress sim
ply asking to have it removed. No
tine-spun theory of protection will
help retain a tax so unjust to SO large
an industry, so useless for revenue
purposes, and so detrimental to the
educational advantages of the nation
just one page of manuscript from
every editor that reads this, will re
move the tax, as surely as the people

DoNAIDsoNyILLE, LA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1872

In thus casting aside these three ad-
juncts to its success, the Republican
party clearly demonstrates it's strength
in the State. The voice of the Demo-
cratic press has been directed against
these bills from their first introduc-
ton down to the present time, and
now that they are no more, we trust
that our opponents are satisfied that
we have thus early signitied our in
tention to combat them ON a field of
their own choice, in the next CAM
paign, at the same time upon the
subject of reform, they can do no less
than joining with us in rendering
honor to whom honor is due-Gover-

The Democracy in Doubt.

We copy this from the New Orleans
Republican of Wednesday:
The Democratic Parish Committee
and the presidents Of the ward clubs
were in Council last evening, the sub
.iect under discussion being the formal
recognition of the compact between
the Custom House Republicans and
the Democratic party, and the policy
of continuing the league SO as to in
clude a joint party organization and
division of nominations for the cam
paign of November next. Our infoTs
nation is to the effect that perfect
harmony did not reign at this. conclave
of the Democratic brethren, some of
the fiery ones denopncing coalitions
with Radicals, of whatever class on
degree others objecting to action at
this time, which might hereafter prove
binding Tor at least embarrassing,
even if the Custom House ring should
lose the power of assisting the Democ-
racy; but the majority seemed to fav-
or the continuance of the coalitions
on the ground that no Democrat has ii
chance for office if the split in the Re
publican ranks is not kept open and
widened.
What will be the final decision of
the Democratic sachems, we care not
to prophecy, but we candidly acknowl-
edge our hope that the league, with all
its conflicting and incongruous inter-
ests, will be maintained. We have no
fear of the Republican masses. They
can not be seduced into the Demo-
cratic ranks under any specious pre-
text; and all of those whilom leaders
whose ambitious schemes have led
them into dark and treacherous ways
are far less dangerous as open enemies
than as false friends in eur own ranks.
In fact, the principals among them
have very little choice in the matter.
They can never, by any possibility,
regain their lost standing in the Re-
publican party. The great principles
and vital interests they have betrayed
will be carefully guarded from their
control henceforward. And, certain
ly, the Democracy are welcome to
take these aspiring leaders without
| followers, and make the best of their
bargain. How many fat Offices they
will resign to such allies may be judg-
ed by the traditional policy of that
party to " get all it can and keep all
it gets.n Let the coalition be main-
tanned.

ROsecrans and the Sentinel.

Once upon Sewell Mountain, short
time before our army fell back to
Gauley in great haste upon the very
night the enemy retreated in an OPP
posite direction, General Roseerans,
who went about in q common soldiers
overcoat, and under slouched hat,
attempted to pass the guard on the
mountain side. The guard came
promptly to charge, and ordered
the unknown to stand back.
"But, my good fellow cried Rosey,
" I must pass.n
"Can't do it without a counter
sign"
"I haven't the countersign, but |
am General Rosecrans."
"Oh, the devil That's played"
What do you mean-what do you
take me for?
g Take you forq Why, what you
are-one of them id old Wagoners,
trying to get out to steal chickens"
This made Rosey perfectly furious,
and although pious man, he broke
into a TRADE of words. The guard re-
sponded, and a little theological dis
cussion followed, more emphatic than
polite. In the midst of it the corporal
of the guard, hearing the row, came
TO the rescue He recognized the gen
eral. and the soldier began apologizing.
Never mind,n said Rosey /; you're
good fellow, and did your duty !;
but, my man, you mustn't swear so.
You ,jeopardize your precious soul by
such profanity"
That man was promoted; he rose in
rank and after being desperately
wounded in the coat-tail he came out
of the war brevet wagon-lnaster
and went to Congress.

sumption off her hands and she would
get well. She did so, and as the dog
grew it was noticed that the animal
acquired hacking cough, while the
young lady grew rapidly better. In
the meantime, however, she had be-
come very much attached to her ca
nine benefaetor, and did everything
that could be done for him. It. was
no use, however. Consumption, the
fell destroyer, had fastened upon poor
Jacks vital, and few days since he
passed in his checks. The young
lady is in robust health, and firmly
believes that the dog saved her life.

port about when we see that they
stand show of being accepted. His
tpasii at the school fund, for the bene-

blow at the proudest monument that
the Republicans have erected in the
State. While every other interest has
been paralyzed, the public schools
have fiourished, to the abundant
blessing of the State. Let Mr.. Ray
