A NEW TRIAL.

Those %no have had the foresight to oh.
serve the relative advantages Of American
ports, have been for years past convinced
that Baltimore, Norfolk and Pensacola,
would, with perfect railroad system, offer
as great advantages as ports of entry as
some Of those ports which have heretofore
enjoyed superior facilities Of distribution
by river. Cincinnati and Louisville in
seeking market for their surplus commo-
dites, have discovered that Pensacola lies
right in line with HaYana. They there"
fore seize upon the natural advantages
Of the port and glide rapidly to the con-
clusion that it is o better port Of entry
than New Orleans. AS no city can under
the new system Of rail and ocean steamer,
monopolize the trade Of any more extend
ed area than that which finds there its
most convenient outlet, we have no
doubt there will be longitudinal trade
lines connecting the western cities we
have mentioned with Spanish American
markets AS those cities have entirely
deserted New Orleans, and trade east by
rail, Baltimore will lose more by their
transfer Of trade to Pensacola than New
Orleans will. We speak impartially, then,
when We admit the merits Of Pen
sacola as way port from a
port Of the West to the tropics New
Orleans can not be superseded because
the numerous tributaries by rail and river
will always make the Mississippi such a
highway that New Orleans can furnish the
assorted cargoes necessary for commerce.
Then, geographically, New Orleans must
always command the commerce Of the
continent east Of her longitude SO far as
it can be due to the population Of the
valley Of the Mississippi We have, then,
no such jealousy Of our little sister as to
justify a suppression Of her merits. In
deed, our municipal authorities may see
from some of those merits tie necessity Of
reducing. as far as possible, the charges
on freight transit through our city The
Louisville Commercial gives the charges at
the three ports Of Pensacola. Mobile and
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-11-24

New Orleans, on cargoes Of slate: Port
charges per register ton, Pensacola thirty
cents, Mobile thirty-eight cents, New Or
leans one dollar and sizty-two and three
quarter cents; lighterage, Mobile, three
dollars; wharfage, Mobile forty cents
Total, per ton, Pensacola thirty cents;
Mobile three dollars and seventy-eight
cents, New Orleans one dollar and sixty
two and three-quarter cents.
We do not accept this as an entirely
fair comparison, especially when we see
pilotage to Pensacola placed at four five
and six dollars per foot, and tonnage dues
supposed wharfage) at thirty cents per
ton. The advantages of Pensacola are
more substantial; the bar has seldom less
than twenty-five feet at low tides. Inc
rise Of tide is about two feet.
This is undoubtedly an important con
sideration to a port which, like our own,
has natural depth of fourteen feet on the
bar, requiring dredge work or canal to
furnish a better navigation. Our Common
Council should reduce the wharfage on
through commerce at least, and we should
never cease our importantly TO Congress
until il shall order the outlet canal Of the
Mississippi 90 be mace and maintained at
the national expense. This done. we can
pat our little sister on the back and rejoice
in all the caygoes Of fruit and flour which
she takes from New York or Baltimore

MTsEPPLIED TEXT.

If there is any chance to misappfy q
text the Pjcay,l1e will do it, as witness it's
misapplication of its own texs, wherein it
says that the South has become impovet-
ished because the North told he's at the
end Of the war, 1'Let politics alone and go
about making money The North never
gave any such advice, in the first place.
and the South never accepted it if she got
it from any quarter. Besides, the South
is not impoverished, but rather she is
better off than she hoped to be- If the
entire country had accepted the advice to
let politics alones perhaps 10 would have
been better off than it is, for the mistakes
the people have committed in that depart
ment of activities has probably increased
our misfortunes a hundred fold. The
fatality with US is that there are too many
men living off of politics and abusing the
public ear with what they know about
offices and office hunting. And there are too
few men making honest money outside of
politics IF any man doubts this let him

where lusty fellows that should be growing

employed BY the authorities where there
is nothing tor them TO do.
Il never was che interest Of The Forth
to direct the South 20 quite politics and go
into money making, for the community
chat neglects its government is not the

Picayae says she North hates US, and is
always doing something 20 oppress US.
Then che advice 20 quit politics was q
mistake, for the people that see their
heads about money making and che So
ciai economies are not che people chat il
will do to despise. If the North ever told
che South 60 quit politics and proceed SO
money making, it invited us 20 seek that
very element Of strength which we stand
in the greatest need Of. And if she South
had followed the advice she would have
been stronger than she is To-day, although
we have 10 particular reasoD 10 complain
Of our present impovegishmens, we have
not made as much money as we might
have made. but we have not neglected the

an APPELLATE POWER.

According to the Picayune, the national
Government, or rather the federal author
ity, should have nothing to do with State
politics But suppose the people of
State abuse their politics, as the Demo-
cratic party in the South proposed to do
by denying to an entire class OF citizens
their rights, what then? Or suppose the
community violates a general law, as the
Mormons do, what then? The United
States is very slow to interfere with local
affairs, as the record of the government
will show, but on occasion it has been
forced to do SO, and in these cases, where
the central authority has put forth It's
strength to regulate local injustice, the
country has approved Of the act and of
the manner in which the interference was
conducted. 1t is well that we have a cen
trail authority to which the people can
look for the redress of their grievances,
otherwise those who suffer wrong might
attempt to right themselves. The last
election in this State is considered to
have been conducted in fraud of the
majority; the one before it was charged
with the same vice, The existence Of
restraining influence at Washington pre-
xented bloody demonstration in 987o,
and prevents it now, by those who declare
that they were not dealt fairly by. Per
haps the Picayune would prefer 20 be
allowed che right to fight it out in all
contested cases. That seems to be its

EARRYTNG THE CITY.

4 large crowd Of men is gathered about
the City Hall waiting for something TO do.
The newly elected Administrators are ex-
pected to pay their debts out of the public
treasury, and this is the reason why the
crowd is seen around Lafayette square.
The men are waiting for their reward. We
were told in sonorous speeches during the
late crisis, as it was called, that the city
needed reforming, and that none but fu-
sionists were competent to perform the
task. And this is the way it is to be done,
that men who have probably been engaged
in earning reputable living getting out
slaves, breaking up tiatboats, irving pick"
cts, driving wagons, rolling cotton, digging
bitches. carpentering, keeping store, and
such like employments, are to be taken up
and put on the pay rolls OF the city TO
their utter Generalization in future. When
a man once commences to live off of pub
lie Office he is thenceforth unfit for any
other engagement So that, besides in
CEtaS1A8 ZIG AuH4ber VI ooA S'u10H0oootiJ
employees, the new city government is ez-
pected 70 create an additional body Of
idlers whose chief business viii be TO- sup
port some corner grocery. It is observe
able that the stiffness concerning reform is
almost sicksaing IL is so profound. No
fusioniss wi1Yconsent to hear anything on
this poins. 6ue on The contrary che inn
preston seems 20 be that the list OF hired
men Will have TO be increased.

STILL IN THE DARK.

The Shreveport Times says unto its
readers that Mr.. Kellogg has asked the
United States to strike down the will Of
the people in order to have himself de-
clared Governor Of Louisiana. The Times is
either ignorant about the subject pretends
to treat OF, o. it IS q willfni and faithle8s
falsifer Of a public acc Dir. Kellogg
never asked the federal authorities to
strike down the people Of the State. He
simply asked the United State Circuit
Court to inquire if the will Of the people
had not already been stricken down by
partisans Of the fusion persuasion. There
is a wide difference between the statement
and the truth, but the Shreveport Demo-
Gratis have been fed on such falsehoods
and ezaggerations 50 long that really
modest and accurate statement would not
attract their attention. If the Democrats
are satisfied that they have honestly car
ried the State Why should they be 50
nervously opposed to any investigation OF
the election? The United States courts
do not strike down the liberties of the
people, but, on the contrary, they uphold
them

published as afording the most delightful
winter climate and the most orderly popu-
lation-au Of which is strictly true. This
will tend to disabuse the foreign mind to
harmonic the sections and teach the
upper country that their path to the sea
lies by the door of our port Then fol-
lows the sincere fraternity of a common
interest. Then comes the repose for
which all good men sigh, and then the
superior commercial advantages Of New
Orleans will be established.
