The GIANT UNDERwRlrIEG ISooRPoRATIoN.-
The superiority Of the general system to fire I'M
derwriting is fercibly illustrated in the career Of
that substantial incorporation, the Liverpool,
London and Globe, the largest and most popular
fire insurance company in the whole world. Dur
ing the year 1871, whichis admitted to have been
by far the most disastrous in CONGREGATIONS. the
business Of the Liverpool, London and Globe was so
large that lis total assets were onlyreduced seven
hundred thousand dollars ($7000o0), while its
present invested funds amount to no less than
twenty million (2o,o0o,oo0) dollars in gold. show
ing financial solidity surprising that of any
other fire incorporation extant. Such superior
condition could never be reached by company
transacting local business, and proves the gen
real system introduced by the London Liverpool
and Globe to be far in advance to any other The
prosperity of the company is also eyneea in the
great excellence and general adaptation Of the
buildings II usually for its offces-it own
ing fine ediices in nearly all the leading cities Of
the world
No company we know Of possesses the full con-
fidence of the business public more completely

FULsOBB PRAISE,

Partisan writers and speakers are very
apt to run into the extremes Of praise or
censure in commenting upon the charac-
ter of candidates. Their object is to
write up" or write down" the charac-
tiers of candidates. This is not a new
thing in this country, it is true. It is
something that has existed since the
foundation of the government, and viii
likely exist to a considerable extent as
long as the government remains repubG-
can. The habit Of commenting upon the
character Of public men, and wisely ad-
ministering deserved praise or censure Is
correct enough, and no doubt serves a
good purpose, but the too common habit
of casting undeserved censure, that fire.
quenly degenerates into scandalous
abuse, upon those who are opposed to US
in politics should be as sternly discount
tenanced by the intelligent masses as the
equally pernicious and disgusting custom
of heaping fulsome praise upon political
friends. Our special object now is to cor
rect very grave fault that some
Of our political magnates-m in
high places-are falling into in the
present Presidential campaign. It is
no more nor less than the serious
fault of endeavoring to teach the people
that to Mr.. Grant alone are they indebted
for the military achievements Of our
armies in the late rebellion, the preserva-
ton of the Union, the. reconstruction of
States, the amendments to the constitu-
ton. all necessary legislation the gradual
payment of the public debt; in fact, every
thing that has been accomplished for the
good of the country Since 1861. When
such men as Senator Wilson go forth
among the people, and, for the purpose Of
reaping party victory, tell them that one
man has done all of these things and a
great deal more, they are knowingly mis-
representing history, and doing great in
| justice TO the gallant soldiers who COM
posed the armies Of the Union, and the
patriotic men in and out of Congress who
stood 10y the government from the time
when Mr.. Lincoln was placed at its helm
until Mr.. Grant assumed control It is
not enough for partisan writers,and speak
ers on the side of theadminisradon to
say that General Grant has played q very
important part in the history Of the coun-
try since 1861 This they could truth
fully say, and not dehact from the merits
of thousands of Others, many Of whom
rendered up their lives on the altar OF
country. But the plain, unyarnishedi
truth is not sufficient Our modern man
worsLipers consider the truth tame

A GOOD CROP YEAR,

The indications are favorable for good
crops throughout the country for 1872 In
the South, especially, We have cheering
reports of a large yield Of corn, to-
bacco, cotton and rice. Louisiana will
add to her products crop Of sugar in ex-
cess Of that raised last year, though at
this time the reports are not favorable for
anything like an ante bellum yield.
This is a subject that should now attract
our attention. These crops will have to
be moved to market, and money is re-
quired for the purpose, as the producers
are generally unable to bring their pro-
ducts without the usual assistance from
the factors and dealers in the large cities.
There will, no doubt, be lively competi-
ton for this business from St. Louis, Gin
cinnati, Louisville and Chicago. River men
are getting out their steamers in all the river
cities, and business houses are sending out
their agents. New Orleans has some
advantages at the outset, which, if i'm
proved, will bring third or more of the
products Of the cotton States to our wharf
but We Will have to send out for the pro-
duce. A percentage will come of itself;
but we should reach out the arms Of our
commerce to the farthest sections and
bring every bale of cotton and bUshel of
corn we possibly can. A lively, prosperous
season will prove a godsend, and quicken
into something like life the present stag
nation Our trade should be made to
keep pace with and outstrip, if possible,
the growth Of the country.
At present, our main dependence is
upon the river and its tributaries for trans
portation. The four railroad lines that
radiate from the city do not penetrate the
richest sections of the State, and two Of
them, being Of recent construction, pass
through comparatively new country. But
there is perceptible increase from year
to year on the older roads, which may be
expected for the new ones. The jackson
road last year, under its new management,
offered carrying capacity Of over two
thousand bales day, which was 10 more
than required Morgan's road to Bra
shear has also been strengthened by adj
ditional rolling stock, while the two lines
Of the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas
road to Donaldsonville and Mobile will
be able to afford all the freight facilities
required by the sections through which
they pass respectively. In the absence of
competing lines from the Northwest and
the roads to Charleston, Norfolk and Sa
vannah, New Orleans would be able to
command nearly all the trade of Red and
Ouachita rivers, West Tennessee, Arkan-
sas and Mississippi. But this competition
is organized, and earnest men are engaged
in sending cotton to the Southern Atlantic
ports, while the Western cities ship car
goes of Western produce directly to Shreve-
port and intermediate landings, and to all
the towns on the Arkansas and White
rivers The diversion of this trade can
not be stopped without exertion, and it
may be, some sacrifices. Our merchants
must make it to the interest of the country
people to trade here and ship their pro-
duce to this city, or We shall lose an ad-
vantage we can never regain.

Just as we suggested the usurpers
of the Picapne are abusing the posi-
ton they have seized upon to deny
to their associates their equal rights
in the concern. DR.. Brickell takes
advantage of his occupancy Of the prop
erty to use it to his own advantage as
against the protestant partners in the
Office. He had no right toSuSe the columns
Of the paper to advocate his claims to con-
troll it without paying for the space he oc-
cupied; but having abused his position to
insert his own advertisement without cost
to himself, he should have allowed his
partners and employers an equally free use
Of their own property. This is the law of
coparceny, and it is common honesty
But then the Picay1nle has such strange
notions about honesty in general that we
despair of educating it up to any sanitary
condition that will conform to the received
axioms of morality under its present man
agement.

praise when they want to paint an ordi-
nary man as an extraordinary hero. If
the lessons Of these men could make
favorable impress upon the people, there
might be danger Of their degenerating into
a nation of man-worshipers, and thus i'm
peril the safety of our republican institu-
tons But the people have but little taste
for fulsome praise, and therefore the efforts
of partisan writers and speakers in this
direction, in this country, have but little
weight.
In Senator Wilson S recent speech made
at Fort Wayne, Indiana, he said, Grant is
to-day the greatest military commander,
incomparably. this countrys ever knew.
He then reviews his civil career and stamps
it as a "big thing, and finally concludes
that hundred or thousand years hence,
when the history Of this country is writ
ten, when the realities are recorded, when
the great things are stamped on the pages
of the country's history, General Grant
will fill more lines in it than all the mem
bers Of the Senate of the United States,
the House Of Representatives, the Cabinet
and the Supreme Court. Senator Wilson
stood up boldly before the freemen of In
diana and said he would rather have Gen
eral Grants history as it viii berecOrdedin
the annals Of his country, when it comes
to be boiled down, than the history Of all
our public men living. His speech abounds
throughout in just such extravagant praise
as this; and it must have had a nauseating
effect on the plain, matter-of-fact freemen
of the great West.
