POLITICAL PLuNKRYISM.

The Times is happy in the possession Of
''good suggestion" One Of its ''public
spirited correspondents" has impaired to
it novel idea, to wit: that candidates for
the Legislature for this city be selected
from the ssclass Of citizens best known
for tried integrity" Citizens of "limited
means" are to be exempt from this kind Of
employment on the ground that they can
not afford the time necessary to complete
a session without ''great sacrifices, This
is considerate, to say the least, and the
citizens of limited means, id. est poor
folks ought to be thankful for the timely
suggestion. But the gentlemen Of wealth.
independence, and large experience in
public affairs, are to receive no such con
sideration They are to be Iassoed wher-
ever found and brought up to the State
House, there to be sworn in as members of
the General Assembly without asking
their consent" The banks are to be de-
prived Of their presidents, business houses
of their managers, and physicians and
lawyers are to be forcibly taken from their
clients and patients in this grand scheme
Of creating political aristocracy. If the
people Of this city were on hunt after
wild Texas cattle, with quality rather than
quantity the main object, the lasso might be
used with some such discrimination Only
the largest, the latest, and the "oldest'
would be selected. But the voters do not
make selections in this way They wants
to be represented by men who are more
like themselves, to whom they can address
themselves in q common language, and ex-
pect sympathy. These wealthy, indepen-
dent, purse-proud old men have no hold
upon the popular heart, and can not com
mand popular favor. Their few negative
virtues do not make them statesmen, nor
commend them to the good offices of peos
pie who are seeking servants, not masters,
to make up the General Assembly.
Beyond doubt, the men who are chest
known" will stand the best chance of cleo
ton. But they must be known directly
to the electors. The revelation of their
high attainments can not be filtered
through the letters Of spirited CORE
spondents, nor the columns of a news
paper Of decidedly Aankey tendencies.
The people Of the several wards are quite
capable Of making the proper selections
and they will exercise their rights in the
matter to the fullest extent They viii BE
ed by representative men, wheth-
er their choice may be to the satisfaction
Of those who have axes to grind in the
Legislature or not And as all the people
are not wealthy and independent, we may
expect some poor men to be chosen. Pow
erty is not and should not properly be re-
garded as such crime as to disfranehise
man or render him ineligible to occupy

CURIos1TIEs In FACT AND LOGIC.

Mr.. Greeley, since the establishment of
the Tribune, has been the steady political
enemy of the South, and an unwaVering
advocate of eentralism in the government
of the United States; yet all parties-friends
and foes-agree in ascribing to him the
characteristics of integrity.-Picoy"''e
The foregoing paragraph is preserved
in our columns as curiosity. in the
first place, it is carefully inaccurate, and
in the second place, it is decidedly incon-
sistent Mr.. Greeley never was the enemy
Of the South, as he declared thousand
times but he was the enemy of slavery,
which was an admitted enemy to the
South It is perfectly competent i'll the
Picayune to be the opponent Of mans
vices without being his enemy. And since
Madison, Jefferson, Washington, Clay and
Benton, all beloved of the South, declared
themselves to be the enemies Of slavery,
why are they not counted as our enemies
also. Because Mr.. Greeley asserted his
opposition oftener and in stronger terms,
that should not be urged to his discredit,
since, if his position was right, and our
great forefathers Endorsed it, it was his
duty to denounce what he considered to
be an evil and an enemy to the South in
the roundest terms and with the greatest
persistency.
Then it is impossible to conceive that
Mr. Greeley could be an enemy to the
South for years and still be an honest man.
It is not in the nature of honesty to be an
enemy to any part Of itself The South
was part of the Union, and it would have
been dishonest and immoral in Mr.. Gree
ley to be the enemy Of any part Of the
American people. He never advocated
centralism in a single sentence that he
ever wrote. He says he never did, and
his admitted honesty should be sufficient
on that head. What he advocated was the
right Of the United States to preserve itself
and to do all needful acts in pursuit of
this end. That is to say, Mr.. Greeley
differed with some Southerners and agreed
with others about the powers Of the gov
eminent under the constitution. He lin
tied himself by the organic act. What
was plain he respected, what was obscure
he interpreted to suit himself But he
never in all his life sustained the idea
that the American people needed cen
tralized government The Pjcayune,
therefore, has done Mr. Greeley great in
justice because it did not understand what
it attempted to explain concerning his an
tecedents and his politics.

CHARAoTRR TO BE ABOLISHED.

A Democratic organ in this city says
''Mr Greeleys past conduct and political
delinquencies have nothing to do with the
question Of being supported by the De-
mocracy" Then what use is there in re-
quiring certificates of character from any
man if the highest Office in the country
is to be filed by man whose conduct
and political delinquencies will not stand
the test? Where is the necessity for
patriotism, consistency, intelligence, ca
pacity and all the other cardinal virtues if
men are to be taken up without regard to
their past conduct? We say that Mr..
Greeley has been correct in his con-
duct and free from all political idelin-
quency, wherefore it would be safe to
elect him to the presidency. If we could
not say this Of him as man and as a
citizen, we would not indorse him as
fit to be elected, for without his past
record it would be impossible to judge Of
his future action. It is no derogation to
General Grant or to the Republican party
to admit that Mr. Greeley has been
faithful gentleman and an honest politi-
clan, for he has been honored as such by
the President and by our friends. We,
therefore, constitute ourselves as his de-
fender from all such suggestions as in
voIve his present consistency and his past
morality. 1t is the crowd that is now fol-
lowing Greeley that we are unwilling to
trust,

LEGAL nAnnnsTNG.

| The meetings of the bar for the purpose
of nominating candidates for district
I judges, are not the grave, decorous affairs
that we were led to expect they would be-
If we were to lay the proceedings before
the public, it would convey to the mind
Of the reader that this much talked Of,
| praise despatched meeting of the bar
was simply political ward meeting, with
the customary wrangling and serambling
for office. The first of these meetings
has resulted in the selection of Judge
Abel for the First District Court, noted
Democratic partisan, who was put for
ward four years ago by the political ring
masters, and was successful at the popular
election by small majority. But the
''bar, at least seventy-six members, pre-
fer him to Judge Hunt Mr.. Dooley, Mr..
Blank or Judge J. B. Robertson. As an
expression Of kindly feeling on the part Of
legal associates, this designation may per-
haps be grateful to Judge Abell's pride,
but it is not binding upon any party con-
vention, nor upon voters. For the Second
District Court, A. J. Where has received
the approval Of this legal caucus. The
nominee is known as a capable assistant
clerk, but we are under the impression
that he has not practiced in his profession
long enough to answer the requirements
Of the constitution. But that will be a
question to be decided after Mr.. Where's
election. At the caucus yesterday there
was lively scrub race for the Third Dis
t1ict Court between Messrs. Monroe,
Canonge, Price Mari, Michel, Smith,
Mitchell, Emerson (the present incum-
bent), Dunn and Lancaster It is our
misfortune to be unacquainted with most
of these aspirants for legal honors. But
that is not the worst of it. Thousands of
our voters are equally in the dark. The
choice eventually fell upon Mr.. Monroe.
After the foregoing contests there was
falling off in the interest and hence not
quite SO much pulling and hauling. The
labors of the convention, or caucus, or
meeting, or whatever it may be proper
to call it, were finally brought to close,
and what at one time promised to last a
week was completed in two days. Some
Of the other gentlemen designated for
judicial honors may be exactly the men
for the places they seek, but we shall await
a better acquaintance before committing
ourselves in any case. We regard this
action of the bar as gratuitous, needless
and fruitless.

FOUND TIE RIGHT KEY AT LAST.

Il FOUND TIE RIGHT KEY AT LAST.
Ever since Mr.. Graham's incarceration
in the Parish Prison for contempt of the
Eighth District Court, his counsel have
been ostensibly looking around for the
right key to open the door to let him out.
Every key but the right one had been
tried, which, with strange obIiquity of
visison, had been overlooked. The. great
legal panacea which first grew upon
the banks at Runnymede-habeas corpus
was tried, but it failed 1t is not an in
falIible cure in cases of the kind. An at
tempt was made to scare the assessors
from their purpose by creating popular
feeling against them; but men in pursuit
of what they consider their legal rights do
not scare so easily. Arguments touching
the merits of the case were employed pro
and con, but still the open sesame had
not been found, until the REPUBLICAN
finally pointed out what we conceived to
be the obvious mode of procedure
writ of prohibition. But the legal frater-
nifty are slow to receive suggestions from
non-professionals. Mr.. Graham's counsel
did not regard our advice as worthy of
his attention until be had received a hint
or 50 from his client. As last resort,
then, he tried the remedy he should have
first called for, and 10 the imprisoned
Auditor walked forth a free man once
more.
HIS counsel applied to Judge Howell for

A New York special says it is now stated
tnat the loss by the New York sub-treasury
defalcation will amount to but $4,000. The
opinion is also expressed in legal circles
that the sub-treasurer can not be held re-
eponsible for the loss, as the law under
which he was appointed did not require
him to sell stamps. That duty was imposed
upon him by the Treasury Department.
After the FIRST Of October it is proposed to
relieve the sub-treasurers and all designated
repositories from the sale of stamps.
