known, and it was not long before the
wood.cutter was called into his presence.
When he approached the Caliph he
l1neeled and kissed the ground and then
placed his arms straight before him, his
hand covered with the sleeve Of his
tunic, and his feet close together, await
ed The decision.
"Friend," said the Caliph, "the bar
Der has words on his side, you have
equity on yours. The law must be de.
fined by words, and agreements must
be made by words; the former must
have its course or il is nothing and
agreements be kept, or there would be
no faith between man and man but"
Then calling the wood.eutter close to
him, the Caliph whispered something
in his ear, and sent him away quite sat-
isied. Here the story-teller made q
pause in his narrative, and holding up
a tin cup, said; "Now, friends, if you
will give me something 1 will tell you
what the Caliph said TO the wood. cutter"
The piastres came in rather plentifully.
Well, then, continued he, the Caliph
whispered to the wood cutter what to
do in order to get satisfaction from the
barber. And what that was l will now
relate. The wood.cutter having made
his obeisance, returned to his ass, which
was tied without, took it by the halter,
and proceeded to his home. A few days
after he applied to tho barber, as if
nothing had happened between them,
requesting that he and companion of
his from the country might be shaved.
The price at which both operations were
to be performed was settled. When the
wood-cutter's crown had been properly
shorn, Ali Sakal asked him where his
companion was.
"He is just standing without here"
said the other. "but he shall come in"
Accordingly he went out, and re-
turned, leading his ass after him by the
halter.
"This is my companion" said he,
"and you must shave him."
"Shave him |" exclaimed the barber,
in the greatest surprise sit is enough

myself by touching you and do you in

the barber stood before him.
"Why do you refuse to shave this

Ali kissed the ground and answered,

UNPATRIoTIC AND ILLOGICAL,

Old Spain, it appears, is looking around
for some relief for her treasury, which has
been in chronic state of impecuniositv
ever since Phillip III banished the Moors,
some two hundred and odd years ago. In
her attempts to subdue tie rebellion in
Cuba, which has been in existence for the
last four years, the expenses have been
met with great difficulty, and because a
few fillibusters have escaped to the aid of
the instruction from the United States,
she proposes to ask the United States to
pay for the damages they inflicted. This
demand is based upon the suggestion
that because the American govern
ment claimed consequential damages
from Great Britain for the injuries i'll
ficted upon her commerce and people by
the ravages Of the rebel cruisers, we are
bound to allow all such claims that
may be presented against ourselves by
foreign governments because we demanded
to be paid therein. And the Pjcqyar,ae is
weak enough in loyalty and logic to lend
the Spanish claim a sort of quasi support.
We say it is weak enough in loyalty to do
this, because the presumed duty of every
American journalist is to support his own
government against al foreign demands
until they have been demonstrated to be
just and proper, just as a man negatives all
upon himself until satisfied Of
their honesty and legality. We say weak
IN logic, because it is not logical to hold
he United States bound to other nations
by law that they refuse to respect and |
obey.
The demand made upon Great Britain

| by the American government was never
admitted by the European powers to be
in accordance with international law, and
the United States never positively asserted
that it was. We could not honorably
have submitted the matter to arbitration
if that had been our ultimate Judgment in
the matter. We merely postulated an
opinion that such was the law, which, be-
ing disputed by Great Britain, the .ques-
I ton was submitted to experts for iudg-
ment. Until the decision was made the
matter was in abeyance we holding the
affirmative and Great Britain the negative.
Both parties were in doubt, and they in
Yoked judicial arbitration to determine
their doubts, binding themselves to accept
the decision Of the arbitrators as the law
OF the case. This judgment being rendered
contrary to our pretensions in regard to the
matter Of consequential damages, and, we
being bound by the judgment, it necessa-
rlly follows that the United States to-day
is the enemy Of her own suggestions, for
she is pledged to execute a different sys-
tenn Of national legislation. And as
Spain had nothing to do with the trans
action, and was not considered Of conse.
| quence enough to be consulted, all that
she can demand Of US is the penalty, if
| any can be found due, prescribed by the
Interpretation given to the law of nations
by the Geneva tribunal. And she can
only do this after declaring her willing
ness to submit to the rulings .of the court
that ANNOUNCED the law If lawyers were
to be bound by their pleadings the litiga-
ton Of tie country would soon be in 81
fearful middle. Half The academieians
would be driven to the woods, for the eIoe
quent sophomore Of the debating class
whQ displays his forensic abilities in
proving that savage life is happier than
the civilized would necessarily have to
accept the rulings Of the society as his
condemnation to the desert and to igno-
rance.
We had to set up the consequential
damage claim in order to obtain a de-
cision as to what the law Of nations was
upon that subject. That being obtained,
we are safe from, any demand of that
character hereafter. The law is settled,
and it could only be settled by suggesting
a case. Spain will have to look elsewhere
and to totally different principle if she
wants to obtain money to prosecute her
way in favor Of slavery against the Cubans.
And the Pjcayoae can not make point
against its own government by invoking
matter that has been settled so satisfac-
factorily to US as the Alabama claims have
been.

the influence Of their names and bank ac-
counts to achieve success. One Demo-
cratic paper, therefore, thinks it an ofense
to do in Ohio and Pennsylvania just the
thing that another Democratic organ urges
should be done in Louisiana. IF De-
moeracy is the same thing in one place
that it is in another, if it is founded on
principle, and not expediency, we are at a
loss to reconcile the two positions. Which
Journal gives US the true doctrine? Are
our rich men to have the 'ght to exercise
their Judgment, OF can they only employ
their means in aid of the Democratic
ticket in order to preserve their character
for fairness? Are the capitalists Of Penn
sylvania and Ohio to be held up to cen
sure for doing just the thing that New
Orleans capitalist is required to do? Is
there any difference of principle between
here and there? Please answer.

DEFEAT AND ITS nAnsEs.

A telegram from Washington says that
the election adyices look discouraging to
the Liberals Is this not in accordance
with what the REPUBLICAN has constantly
toretold, that the opponents of the present
administration, who are classified in the
dispatches alluded to as Liberals, would
be fearfully weakened by the selfsbnes8
of their domineering allies, the Democrats?
Our conclusions were based upon what is
actually occurring in Louisiana, where
the chance Of defeating General Grant
and his friends was deliberately destroyed
by the maneuvres Of NIessrs. Lasere and
Randolph, leaders of the Bourbon eIe-
ment. Human nature is the same the
world over. The Liberal Republican of
Ohio, Indiana or Pennsylvania is the same
as the Liberal Republican in Louisiana,
and what drives the latter in this State
will drive the former in the ether States.
They attempted to form a new party, dis
tinct from both of the old ones. in all the
States, and they expected to be treated
as equals in every respect in this.
new organization. The Democrats ac-
cepted the movement. but refused to
accept Its originators. This drove
the authors Of the party out Of it, not be-
cause the design was failure, but be-
cause the plan of its accomplishment was
seized upon by incompetent parties. The
Democrats announced their inten ion,
more by acts than by words, to direct the
reform movement The men who origin
ated the plan doubted the ability of the
Democrats to manage a policy that they
did not design, and which their speeches
betokened that they did not understand.
And though the Bourbons botched tie
work Whereyey they JaiJ theis bands upon
it, they still insisted on managing and
controlling the %;orl.. The Liberal Re.
publicans gave up in despair In fact
they we're driven out Of rbeig own party.
Thousands of people Those votes were
opposed to Grant are how for him because
they prefer his friends TO the friends of
Mr. Greeley. As this was the case in
Louisiana we presume It was the case in
the other States upon the suggestion that
human nature is the same here that it IS
there. The operating cause that will In
evitably defeat the fusion ticket in this |
State by its illberality defeated the same
ticket in Pennsylvania Ohio and Indiana

deed, since they were passed, a year and a
half ago, nobody has heard of any serious
| outrages there, Though there have been
trials III one or two States, especially IN
North Carolina, yet they are trials for
oHenses committed two or three years ago,
long before the act was passed. So
the work was done. The ku-KiuE
conspiracy was crushed out by act Of
Congress; and, although these outrages &C.
CURED in very narrow district OF terri
tory, they discredited and damaged all the
Southern people who may be suspected Of
any sympathy with those who. committed
the outrages.
When talking Of these things, called
carpet-bag governments :" and carpet
bag thieves" it would be well enough for
Mr., Greeley to- recolIect how and where
these epithets originated, and who are the
persons that have persistently stood in the
way Of a. reconciIed country. Without
meaning TO deny that many abuses. have
been committed by the State governments
inaugurated undey the reconstruction
laws, we do mean TO say that these abuses
have been grossly exaggerated by the uep
who bitterly opposed reconstruction on
the basis Of negro suffrage. and age mainly
responsible for all the ills that have be-
fallen the Southern States since 166js and
furthermore, that SIr. Greeley now accepts
these grossly exaggerated statements of
his former Official enemies as correct.
and, in his capacity Of Presidential candj.
date, uses them 10 convince the people Of
the old free States that the Republicans
down South, who will not vote 20 yeinstate
the gotten old Democratic party in power,
are al carpet-bag thieves and that tie
governments cgeated IL the South by
a Republican Congress and admins.
tered by Republicans are nothing but
carpet-bag governments administered by
carpet-bag thieves. Mr., Greeley seems to
forget that these epithets were applied TO
all Republicans in the South, shortly after
the passage of the reconstruction laws by
Congress, who were willing 10 aid in tie
execution of the same. These laws were
then boldly denounced as unconstitutional
sby the very same men who afterward dee
nounced the governments created by them
as carpet-bag governments, and the Re.
publicans who aided in carrying them
into effect they stigmatized as carpet-bag
thieves: This, in fact, had been the OPP
probrious epithet applied to the Union
soldiers who came into the Southern States
for the purpose of subduing the rebellion
and maintaining the integrity of the
American Union. Mr.. Greeley is well
aware of these facts, and therefore, when
he attempts to uphold his present position
with the arguments and assertions of his
former political enemies arguments and
assertions he was combating but short
time since-we deem it a duty to remind
him of his error,

HERE AND THERE

We do not suppose it is of any conse.
quenceo but oar two Democratic organs
are hardly consistent with each other upon
one point We say it is of but small mo-
ment, however, because when we find
Democratic papers contradicting them
selves, they may be expected to be at va.
Rance with each other. But here is the
point. The Ptcayuns complains because
the bankers, brokers, manufacturers, capi-
talists and rich men Of Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania generally have combined and used
their ample means, freely to defeat the
Democracy We are not prepared to
vouch for the correctness of the Pics
statement, and it is not material to our
present purpose to know whether the rich
men Of the great States named have used
the influence derived from their wealth in
the manner charged or not. It is sufficient
that the Picay2me believes they have, and
complains about it The Times, on the
other hand, also Democratic organ, and
laboring for the same end as the
PtcayNae, urges the rich men of this civ
to become candidates for the important

The Board of Directors of the State National
Bank, duly authorized by an affirmative vote OF
majority of the stockholders, have resolved to
adopt the mutual system in the disposition of the
earnings of the bank, on and after the first of
October, 1872.
Dividends of earnings will be made quarterly
on the last days of December, March, June and
September.
Stockhol ders will receive quarterly dividends of
two and one-half per cent, after carrying ten per
cent of net earnings to surplus fund as provided
by law. The balance of earnings will be divided
pro rata between depostors on their daily bal.
ances and stockholders on the amount of capital
stock.
The system commends itself to depositors as
wellas to stockholders.
To depOsitors it is but Just equivalent for their
good will and patronage, which produces in
creased profits to stockholders.

dition of the bank, after passing to dt vidend &C.
