every curve, without being held to any
moral responsibility. With two hum red
and thirty editors, its follies and freaks are
divided into as many shares as its stoc is;
and each two hundred and thirtieth Irac-
ton assumes a portion of its partners va
gary in order to be at liberty to all its
own. This is seen in its yacillation and |
inconsistency upon almost every suI iect |
that is presented and in nothing plIiner |
than in its advice to the people not I'd pay |
their taxes, coupled with the suggeI ton |
that if they accept the advice their cdndi- |
ton will be all the worse thereby The |
subject sickens.

receive the unanimous vote of the faculty
upon their examination. The Times and the
Bee, with good deal Of logic, denounce
the action of the board the Bee going so
far as to declare that the removal of the
present board would be an act for the
advancement Of learning and the main
tenance of the high standard of legal
knowledge which has done so much honor
to the State of Louisiana.
Realization followed closely upon the
utterance of this wish, for Governor
Pinchback yesterday appointed a new adj
ministration, and we are happy to say, it
is strongly Republican, of excellent abil-
ity, and that our colored fellow-citizens
are recognized in the new board by the
selection Of talented members Of their
class, Messrs. Brown and Thompson
Governor Warmoth, Chief Justice Lude-
ling and Mayor Flanders are ex-officio
members, the new appointees being Harry
I. Hays, W. W. Howe, William H. Hunt,
George S. Lacey, Hugh J. Campbell, Mi
chael Hahn, William G. Brown and c. H.
Thompson.
We trust the new board and the faculty
will work together with that unison Of pur-
pose so essential to the well-being Of a
public institution like our State University.

The Grant organs, the P5eaysne and
Citizens Guard are at loggerheads. The
latter declares the former offered to sell
out the Reform party to the highest bid

Liberal Republican, Customhouse or State
House, and declares that Warmoth will
be the purchaser. This settles our politi-
cal differences harmoniously and at once
The great mass Of Louisiana Republicans
cheefully follow the Governors standard
already; the Bee declares the Oldest and
ablest of the Democratic leaders have
allied themselves to him, and as he is now
about to buy the Reformers, a "happy
family" is at once established re-
naming opposition being too trifing for
serious consideration.

band of faithful white adherents who i'm

A FAULT-PINDER.

The Pjcdyltne appears to be in a chronic
state of disquiet upon two subjects, which
really have but little apparent connection.
Its nose is constantly deceiving it with
imaginary odors, and its impecuniosity
keeps it habitually in financial distress.
In illustration of its peculiarities in this
respect, in its yesterdays issue it INDUCES
in two remarkable dissertations on
the subject Of dogs" and the other on
the proposed abandonment of street rail
road In the one enterprise it is afraid
somebody has been making money, that
the Pic hasn't had a share of, and its
nasal protuberance discovered an offensive
odor in an imaginary dead dog on Canal
street.
The truth about the matter of course
the Pic was not expected to tell it, is,
that the railroad track was a useless in
cumbrance to thoroughfare which might
be converted into a drive; and no ssdead
dog has been on the part of Canal street
alluded to.
1t is well understood that the Pic has no
conscientious scruples about misrepresen-
tation and abuse. Relying upon its news
paper non-identity to shield it from the
personal consequences Of deliberate cal
umny it proceeds to assault Mr.. Cockrem,
Of the Department Of Improvements, as
cribing to him unworthy motives in his
official conduct, and denying to him the
capacity and integrity which has signally
illustrated his administration of his de-
partment People are very apt to judge of
the motives Of others by what they them
selves would do under similar circumstan-
ces and this, doubtless, has been the critic
rion Of the Pjcayune's judgment It can't
possibly understand how anybody can be
honest and yet have an opportunity of
Hence it concludes that when
Mr.. Cockrem introduced into the Council
resolution authorizing the City Railroad
to remove their track from the
AIetairie Ridge, and favoring the PROPOSE
ton to substitute for the useless railroad
line a shell road, he was actuated by a
motive Of gross improperly. Possibly
such would have been the controlling in
duence with the Picayn0e under the same
but all persons are not so
ready for sale. 1t is true that Mr.. Cock
rem is endeavoring by legitimate means to !
provide comfortable competence for him
self All men do this; but it may be a
comforting reflection to the Picalplae to
know that as yet he holds no ''orders for |
bonds in the new State House speculation.
Possibly his influence in this respect is not
considered as potent as a represe ntatiye of
he Picapme
As to the other charge that the Street
under the Department of
permitting the streets to be
ncumbered with the bodies Of dead dogs
which tester in the sun and emit an often
i've odor, it is simply untrue. No such
neglect has occurred. The sta ement is
deliberate misrepresentation Of the facts.
Dogs killed over night must lay in the
treet until morning, but in no case do
hey remain but a few hours.

CERTAIN PUBLIC BELIEFS. 1"

Our downtown contemporary the Bee,
reiterates, in its yesterday mornings edi-
ton, its assertion that coalition has been
arranged between Governor Warmoth and
certain Democrats in the late State con-
vention Of the party for the purpose of
perpetuating his power in this State, -
and that the Times ''was an auxiliary in
this scheme under the guise of its advo-
cacy of Liberal Republicanism." Upon
the issue, the Times had challenged the
Bee to produce proofs, to which demand
the latter responds as follows:
Waving any discussion Of the right of
the Times either to interrOgate us on such
a subject, or to pronounce Judgment on our
course with respect to it, it would be a
sufficient answer to reply that there are
certain public beliefs amounting to a con
victiOn of their certainty and suticieDcy,
which beliefs are rather an accretion than
n conclusion, and are based upon no posi-
tive, specific, overt act, but by many Incl
dental circumstances.
Our venerable friend here falls into the
common error Characteristic of the dear
old ladies who periodically congregate to
exchange gossip over their cups Of tea.
This error consists in accepting as estab-
lished facts the conclusions born of its
own desires and prejudices and of elevat-
ing to the dignity Of intuitive convictions
the suspicious which proceed from partisan
enmitv.

We believe the col0red members Of the
National Theatre convention were really
honest in their expressions Of desire to
harmonic the conflict in the Republican
party Of this S ate, and that they would
have secured the appointment of a COM
mittee OF conference, which might have
resulted in the greatest good. but for the
direct and effective efforts Of Boss Pack
ard to defeat such a contamination. De-
termined at all hazards to be Governor
and knowing his inability to control a
nominating convention fresh from and
chosen by the people, the boss persistIv
fought every Proposition for reconciliation
which did pt@ieave in his hands complete
control Of the negotiations and the condi-
tons Of settlement If he is pleased with
the result every one else should be able
to bear it.

Not even curiosity, which the amusing
press reports Of Boss Packards conven-
ton proceedings naturally gave rise to,
proved sufficient to attract a crowd to the
National Theatre yesterday, and the mem
bers again grated to 'empty benches 5"
AS a political demonstration this is the
most miserable failure we have ever been
called upon to record. The public actually
lacked sufficient interest therein to trouble
themselves to find out if its makeup was
good, bad or Indifferent.

The dodge resOrted to by Boss Pack
ards convention to weaken the political
strength Of Governor Pinchback is too
gauzy to win. By nominating him as a
delegate to the Philadelphia convention,
and then defeating him on the ballot, it
was intended to accomplish three points,
viz: To commit him to Grant by putting
up his name in packed Grant conven-
ton; to weaken him with his own party
by creating the impression that he was
secretly trading with their enemies; and to
kill him off entirely, by showing that, in a
convention almost exclusively negro, he
proved unable to achieve a merely honor
airy nomination. Mr. Pinchback can beat
any such game as this, and not half try.

ADVICE 10 THE GUILTY.

If the Customhouse convention would
ask Mr. John Ray what hand he had in
creating the debt which is, seemingly, so
unpopular at the National Theatre it
might be highly edited with the response.
The Governor was required by the Legisla-
ture to expend every dollar that has been
spent for the last four years, and Mr.. Ray
votedin favor Of all the appropriations. If
there is any blame to be fixed upon the of
fcers Of the government for the OUTLAWS
that have been made during that time,
Mr.. Ray should defend himself as a part
ner in the blame And especially should
he take an early opportunity to account
for the money that was spent i'll defiance of
the vetoes of Governor Warmoth. While
the debt is being assailed in the presence
OF Messrs. Ray, Burch, Stamps and other
members of the Legislature, let them take
care that they do not get shot that Will
cripple them in the row.

Brownsville, Texas, has a run of luck
occasionally that puts much money in her
pocket. Whenever a disturbance occurs
in Matamoras, then is The day that
Brownsville puts on her tariff of rents
Every house, shed, stable and loft is
wanted for the refugees from across the
Rio Grande. The poor and the rich alike
flee from Matamoras, and they bring all
their household gods along with them.
They are prompt in making payments,
too, for they are taught this virtue in
Matamoras, if they are taught no other,
that they must pay for what they consume.
And so long as the city Of Matamoras is
disturbed SO long Brownsville is all the
richer for the misfortunes of her neighbor
Just now, it will be seen, the lucky season
IS in full operation to keep our Texas, and
We warrant the landlords are making up
for the long season Of dull times and cheap
rents which they have been compelled to
endure this last two years.

The defeat of George W. Carter as
delegate to the Philadelphia convention,
by the Packard convention yesterday, was
the ''unkindest cut of all" If any man
has made sacrifices for the Customhouse
clique, it is he An inspectorship has, up
to this time, been his sole reward for the
desertion of those who had been his
friends in the hour of need, and for the
loss of the Speakers chair. The surveyor
ship was legitimately his, and a man of
his fine susceptibilities must have felt the
overslaugh keenly; but to add this recent
insult to the old injury must be unbear-
able. The colonel has our warmest SYM
pathies.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY TROUBLE

A day or two ago, considering it "a
matter Of public interest, the REPUBLICAN
spread before its readers the fact that a
serious disagreement had apparently
arisen between the board Of administra-
tors OF the State University and part of
the faculty, and that the breach had grown
SO wide that Professor Carleton Hunt peti-
toned Acting Governor Pinchback for the
appointment Of new directory. In
making this statement we were actuated
by desire to bring about, if possible. an
adjustment of the regrettable differences
which exist, and thus preserve unjmpaired
the usefulness and high reputation of an
institution to which our people point with
justiiable pride.
A communication on the second PAGE
gives the grounds for the disagreement

diplomas to certain students who failed 70
