A WORD OF ADVICE,

Avoid the politicians none who
have held office or been prominent there
for be permitted to seize the reins of the
new party" Such is the selfish cry
raised by men who think they have &C
quired the science of government and a
thorough knowledge of craftsmanship by
specializing in cotton and selling ribbons
and tape to the dear creatures who beau
tify our avenues on shopping days.
In America, if not SO markedly as in
the older nations of Europe, the manage
ment Of official trust is becoming dis
tinct profession, and the sooner it is re-
cognized and made honorable, the better
VIII be the class following this business,
and the better viii public interests be sub
served. This will be true reform; and
neither the denunciations Of politicians by
interested journals. nor the resolves Of
aspiring tyros, who claim inexperience as
their chief recommendation will alter the
fact.
bOu itl Us Dt !tL4SttIlttSlDOU as utSll-
ing the elevation of men who have proven
unworthy when trusted in the past. But
let not the people be led astray by the sud-
denly aroused enthusiasm Of would-be re-
formers INTO casting aside their tried, faith
full and worthy servants. We say this in
the interest of all parties, and to all par
ties: Give no ear to the senseless and gen
eral abuse Of politicians, asall the Office
holders are stigmatized. Demand explicit
charges, sustained by proofs, before cast
ing aside tried AID competent official for
a prentice hand
The trick Of abusing politicians and the
active participation by citizens in their
ward interests, is so stale that it is only
worthy of a picayune journal whose pro-
prietors are aliens or non-registered. We
hope respectable papers will have no more
of it.

these men would use their influence with
the colored people to reject and defeat bad
Republicans, not for thepurpose of injur-
ing their party, but for the higher purpose
OF serving the State and purifying their
own organization There are men in the
State who have never betrayed the colored
people, and who can confidently count upon
the support Of that class of voters because
they have done their whole duty by them
as well as by the whites. These men are
the oracles whose advice is always accepted
because it has never been given heedlessly
or for selfish purpose And these are the
men who must be invited to help the re-
formers, Or else the reformers might just
as well retire from the field. These trades
about the Presidency and the local officers
will prove to be stumbling block to re-
form if they are not abandoned.

RELEASE OF MIR. VAN NORDEN

The Supreme Court yesterday inter
posed its authority for the release of
MIR. Van Norden from the grippe of the
Judge of the Sixth District Court. We
have every reason to be satisfied with the
result for 1t not only sets at liberty very
worthy man and most estimable citizen,
but it gives us the assurance that our dis
trict judges do not possess unlimited
authority to prosecute men who may be
technically rather than Intentionally guilty
of contempt With the first sentence to
prison we have no fault to find Probably
Judge Cooley viewing the case from his
standpoint, could not well avoid imposing
the penalty. He deemed Mr. Van Norlen
to be guilty of an offense, and passed the
usual judgment. But it was an offense,
if at all, against the State and not against
the Judge personally. The proper de-
partment Of the government adiudged the
prisoner guilty But another department
thought it a case that required the inter-
position Of executive clemency, and ac-
cordingly granted pardon And here is
where Judge Cooley began to show temper
"a her than taste and due regard for
the dignity Of his own position. The
Governor never questioned the legality of
the first sentence. He fully recognized
it, and pardoned Nh. Van Norden. But
Judge Cooley was not equally discreet
lie detiantly questioned the right Of the
Governor to come between him and his
victim, and reissued an order to commit.
a second pardon was treated with the
same contempt. By this time the Judge
himself was clearly guilty of contempt of
Inc power of the State, as represented
by its highest officer. The obvious
nloue OF relief was the one adopted
We do not learn that there was any
diversity of opinion among the Judges of
the Supreme Court on the question pre-
scented on the merits of this case Two
OF the members Of the court. however
doubted the authority of the Supreme
Court to take jurisdiction But three Of
them were clearly Of an affirmative opinion
and ordered the prisoner to be BROUGHT |

WASTED OPPORTUNITIES. "

| few days since, the Times published
| the result of an interview with the Gov
ernor, which was read by ali parties with
| gratifying interest. Its tacit Endorsement
| of the article was also considered an act
| of justice that reflected much credit upon
it. Even in politics, people are sometimes
constrained to deal fairly with an oppo-
| nent. This was regarded as an instance
Of the kind The Times whould have
reaped the advantages of this conclusion,
had it not, in subsequent issue, sought
to back out from the position it had pre-
viously assumed. But having done this,
We are constrained to publish the facts
connected with the interview.
1t must be understood that few days
since the Times grew very much dissatis-
fed with the Democratic Customhouse
coalition. 1t had sagacity enough to per-
ceiye that it was destined to failure The
great body Of the Democratic party could
not be transferred as the ARTICLES Of sale
proposed to transfer it.
When the conspiracy should be exposed,
as the Times rightly conjectured it would
eventually be, the Democrats would refuse
to be committed to the support of General
Grant. Acting on this conviction, and
true to its desire to always be on the win
ming side, the Times, as it always does in
great political emergencies, applied to the
REPUBLICAN for advice. We gave it hon
estly, and told the Times that the only way
out Of its prospective difficulties and real
present dilemma was to 60 the Governor,
confess its errors of the past, and promise
amendment for the future. Perhaps We
suggested that the Governor might say
something that would put them right be-
fore the public.
Our advice was taken, and the interview
was the result. We had begun to con-
graduate ourselves that we had redeemed
one brand from the burning, when, 10
the Times takes the back track and, swine
like, returns to its wallow. We

ernor on the Grant ticket. But then

The Times, in its endeavor to fatter the
pride OF the ''old and respectable" mer-

The lecture of Colonel Holt last evening
on Southern Society was very well at
tended in Lyceum Hall. The lecture was
ro;d of that dramatic gesture so effective in
stamping whatever truthsit contains on the
attention of the audience. Its delivery
closer resembled a homily than it did the
American e,ture Truths were told IN
pleasant way, which was very good but for
the fact there was too much OF the same
way. The lecturer was frequently rewarded
with hearty applause.

When the reformers propose to surren-
der the general government to the Repub-
icans, provided they are allowed to take
the State, they forget that there are others
who can see into trade as far as they
can. The Republicans understand how
to keep the State and the general govern
ment, too, if they choose, and they still
further understand that the best side of
the bargain is 70 keep.the State if they
have to make any trade at all.

before them. AS to this question Of juris-
diction, we have nothing to say. We are
satisfied to leave it where the court has
left it. Butin regard to the propriety Of
releasing an offender against the State by
virtue of pardon of the Governor, We
can not see how there can be two opinions
about it, We contended for this principle
from the first against the entire daily press
Of the city. AS usual the REPUBLICAN
was right and our contemporaries wrong.
