New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-08-18
THE BALANCE DE POWER,

If President Grant succeeds in becoming
President for q second term, his scheme
of consolidating the negro vote will not
be in vain. The object Of the President
and his adherents is to make the negro
vote of the South a balance Of power in
this country. That party is a most dan
gerous one that would attempt to per-
petuate its power in this way, for it is
the most direct way that can be chosen to
bring about a war of races. For this
reason, the real friends Of the negro and
white mantle real friends of republican
government-will not fail to den0unce a
scheme which, if successful, could only
result in the prolongation Of one-man
power, and the eventual ignominious
downfall of that and the negro balance
of power created for its support. No
reasonable colored or white man in the
South desires to see a President chosen by
a few hundred thousand colored voters,
admitting such a thing possible. And the
administration and party that would re-
tain its hold upon the government in this
way could not give better evidence Of their
enmity to republican government. Adj
uniting that President Grant and his
political friends have determined to pur
chase new lease of power in this way,
many persons are disposed to question
Their ability to control the negro vote for
the purpose. of cheating the white voters,
50 largely in the majority in the United
States, out OF. their right to name the
President. We call it cheating, because it
would be trick on the part of the
federal administration to remain in pova,
by consolidating the negro vote-appeoI-
ing to color instead of principla-as a
means Of acquiring votes. We know that
the bulk of our eolored voters are com
paratively ignorant, but We have always
given them credit for degree of intelli-
gence and manhood IN politics that would
lead them to make an honest effort to
judge rightly between parties struggling
for the control Of government. So far. as
republican government and equal rights
are concerned, the best friends Of the col
ored people are now to be found in the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-08-18
THE PEOPLE,

Under the American from Of govern
ment the people are the source Of all
political power; but much is attempted to
be done in the name of the people that
can only be wisely done by those to whom
the people have delegated authority. As
great as is our reverence for the people,
our reverence for God is still greater, and,
therefore, we have never believed in the
Latin maxim that teaches ''the voice Of the
people rs the voice Of God"
Vor popdi vor Del, is rather an If
rcverent expression granting that it is the
declaration Of united people; but great
deal is done nowadays in the name Of the
people that can not be regarded as the
voice Of the people; and, in that case, how
inefably silly it would be to say the voice
Of the people is the voice Of God. It is
certainly assuming a great deal to speak in
the name Of the people, but to liken that
speaking unto the voice Of Him who
created the heavens and the earth is bias
phemous.
In Louisiana the people are at present
divided into four political parties pro-
Tossing the good of the people, and claim
ing the right to speak in the name Of the
people One Of these parties is blessed
with the support of an organ that styles
itself "a people'spaper, "a faithful and in
dependent press, the press par excellence
of the State in all that is pure, wise and
good. Acting upon this presumption, the
organ of ring the self-constituted paper
Of the people ssails all who viii not join
its ring as unworthy, incompetent and
dishonest. All combinations other than that
supported by the so-called peoples paper
are pronounced by it corrupt and danger
GUS rings. This is the judgement Of pa
per that pretends to speak for the people;
its moral and mental Judgment Of all who
entertain different opinion. To permit
such a feeling TO gain the ascendency in
this country would result in the establish
ment Of a more Indifferent PuIitanism than
ever before witnessed. The people will
never consent to this; and the paper
that would force this condition Of things,
and claim the right of judging and passing
Judgment upon all who do not agree with
its opinion Of men and measures, can not
be regarded as the peoples paper It is
nothing but rank presumption, bold AFRO
gance, if you please, for any newspaper in
the land TO attempt to make itself the sole
arbiter Of mems conduct; the supreme
Judge of good and evil This would in
deed be dangerous prerogative in the
hands Of a partisan or independent press.
The conductors of newspapers are like
other men. human. They are not infaIi-
bic. They are to be judged ike other
men, and the seal of public condemnation
or approval placed upon their conduct.
A paper may assume an elevated moral
tone in its prospectus; may profess'to be
governed in its Judgment Of men and
measures by a high sense of justice, and
yet fail materially in coming up to the
standard of goodness it had marked out
for itself It is its conduct the public viii
judge. The people care little for the
professions or assertions Of a paper if
they are not in the main temperate
and truthful, Reason sways the people 1

ranks Of the Liberal Republican party.
The standard bearers of that party, Horace
Greeley and B. Gratz Brown, were among
the earliest to enter the ranks Of the
Republican party for the suppression
of slavery. They battled for Fremont in
1856 and for Lincoln in 1860, and remain
faithful to republican principles with such
men, at the present time, as Sumner,
Schurz, Trumbull, Banks, and host Of
others who have never yet faltered in the
work Of rational liberty and equal rights
for all men. These are all leading and
gifted men; men of genius and refined
intelligence; men that have spent a life
time in advancing human rights and per
fecting a system Of republican government
that would enure to the benefit Of all
They are no new converts to Republican
ism, nor do they march under the Repub-
Iican banner simply to catch Repub-
lican votes. They are Republican
in principle, and if the Liberal
party-as we are certain it will be-is hon
ored with the administration Of the ma
tional government for the next four years
after the expiration of President Grants
term, they will see that reform is instituted
in all its branches. These great and good
men would all be sadly disappointed in
the capacity Of the colored people Of this
country for self-govenment if they could
be led, simply upon question Of color,
to vote against the great body Of white
voters in the old free States, who have in
variably voted for the freedom and civil
and political rights Of the colored people.
The balance of power that President Grant
and his party are trying to establish in the
South by consolidating the colored
voters will, as we have said before,
if successful, prove fatal to both. The six
millions of white voters in the United
States will never consent to be ruled in
this way The moment they find there is
a chance of success for the Radical rarity
by the consolidation of few hundred
thousand negro voters in the South, the
white vote will be consolidated, and
Granti5m and its contemplated negro
balance Of power will suffer an igno-
minious defeat. We are now talking sense
to our colored fellow-citizens, for whom
we entertain the best of feeling. We
would have them remain true to them
selves and republican government We
would like to see them exercise an honest
difference Of opinion and be governed
by principle instead Of color in their exer-
else of the sacred and highly important
rights of citizenship. The colored people
Of the South should never forget Sumner,
Greeley, Brown, Schurz, TrumbuIl, Banks,
and others, who have led them out Of
bondage and placed them on an equality
with the most favored citizens. The at
tempt to use the negro element as balance
of power, with prospect of success in the
South, would have a most prejudicial eff
feet, and we trust our colored friends will
see this in time to show the people that
they can not be consolidated on a mere
question of color, and to the sacrifice Of
principle merely to prolong the term Of an
administration that has became obnoxious
to the people.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-08-18

Of this country more than passionate
defamation or fiery or abusive editorial
attacks on public men, and the press that
fails to recognize this fact will soon find
its popularity, if it has any, at an ebb.
The people Of this country are too intelli-
gent to be led astray by the public press.
They are very apt to read and judge for
themselves of the conduct Of public men
and of the public press. It is in them we
place our trust. Their judgment rules the
State and corrects public evils Of all kinds.
Public opinion is a powerful lever in So
ciety, and when it has reason to be di-
rected against the public press it generally
leaves a mark that is fatal. No press nor
government can long stand in this coun-
try whose course is not dictated by justice
and reason. To this extent the voice Of
the people is the voice Of God.

DIAMONDS IN ARIZONA,


The reported discovery Of diamonds,
saphires, rubies and emeralds in Arizona
should be taken with a large degree of
cautious consideration by the public. We
hope the statements are true even to the
full extent Mr. Junin himself makes, that
there is an extent Of country between the
upper Rio Grande and the Colorado rivers,
five hundred miles in extent, that is prol-
ifc in precious stones, for such a condi-
ton Of affairs would soon throw such a
column Of adventures into that section
as would soon settle the Indian troubles
that now cost us a large amount Of money.
Beyond that it would give such an impulse
to the great central department of the
Southern belt in the way of population as
would insure the immediate construction
of the Texas Pacific railroad Nothing
could be Of greater value to New Orleans
than to create a rush Of emigrants into
any Of the unsettled western sections
south Of Colorado. If we can once bend
the current Of population from its steady
direction toward the Northwest We may
expect in very short time to feel a
healthy influence from the effect it Will
have upon markets that are tributary to
US. Start a multitude Of men into Ari-
IONA, and they will soon expand outward
until their settlements and ours Will meet
and fuse, making thenceforth the South
and West partners in the fructifcation
that enriched and empowered the North
and West. The latter section is the pivot
upon which our fortunes are to turn.
Still we must caution the public that
these Arizona discoveries ought to be con-
sidered prudentiauy before they are acted
upon. In the first place the diamonds
that are reported to have been found are
not of the purest water, whatever their
successors may be. In the next place the
entire affair looks like a speculation some
thing after the fashion of the South sea
bubbles that Law gulled Europe with
years ago. The men who hold the dia-
monds in the Bank of California are the
sLarpest spectators on the Pacific coast.
They have made millions by moonshine
transactions. And if they can sell out
shares IN a ten million stock company, in
Arizona, founded on a lot Of African dia-
nonds, they viii have as little besitancy
in doing it as they did in selling town lots
in San Francisco that were forty feet IN
der water. Still We can spare a large body
of idlers for Arizona, or anywhere else, if
they are the sort of men who viii consent
to go.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A COURT &?

The late incident in the Second District
of a slight misunderstanding between a
sheriff and police officer, is rather sug-
gestive. A "cout" stood on its balcony
and blew its whistle, calling police off
Ger, and ordered its deputy sheriff, aided
by the policeman, to queu a disturbance
in a picayune grocery. The policeman,
taking the deputy as the real dis
turber, "took him in" It may yet become
a serious question where the dignity" Of
a court Of which disobedience is contempt
begins or ends. If this is undetermined
frightful consequences might ensue. For
instance, the court, if present in bar
room accompanied by its deputy sheriff,
might order a bar-keeper to give
him a whisky straight, and, on
REFUSAL send the next day and arraign
him for contempt of court. Is the
court encircled with such a dignity that
wherever it goes, whether it repairs to its
domicile and gets into bed, jumps into a
cab and rides off to the lake, gets into a
train and visits watering place, that dig
nifty must be respected? When does the
court become a simple 'individuaI?" Is
the court, in the language Of a dead and
gone parishjudge, always an object of ICON
Tempt" We have had justice Of the peace
chasing round to put the corrtin jail, and
a court fussing round to get the justice in
jail, and the community fretted, and ''stilI
they are not happy" We do not desire to
burst in ignorance, but seek information.
Any humble individual seeing a court
(speaking in the abstract) drunk OIL the
street and bothersome, might take it into
his head, without knowing it is a court, to
tell him he's no better than he should be.
Can such man be fined for contempt Of
court? This ought to be settled An order
of court disobeyed subjects the offender to
a punishment for contempt But when is
an order not an order, or a court not q
court? If a count calls policeman an
unmitigated liar from the balcony Of its
house, which Is the object OF contempt !
How long is the umbilicaI cord connecting
the court with the courthouse, or the
bench on which the court is supposed to
be enthroned in the majesty Of the law?
If this is not quoted, court would hold
in a restaurant, and mandamus might
issue for a round Of beef for instance, or
an injunction stopping the street cars in
front Of the door, and if either were dis
obeyed, and the deputy sheriff on hand,
all hands might be arrested On the ground
that cts all in the family, any how. A
court Of justice, civil or criminal, is a
serious thing, as any one knows who has
ever been in its clutches. If there is not
some limit to the jurisdiction Of a court,
and if It is en- object Of contempt in all
places, why let US all know it and have
done with it.
