ANS REPUBLICAN, SUNDAY, MAY 10, 1872
Says the Louisville Co,.rier-.Jour,.al.

Mr. Greeley has, very properly, complied
with our suggestion and retired from the
New York Tribune. The statement that he
would not do so, which was first put for
ward, filed us with apprehension. Hence
the urgency with which we questioned it,
and hence the sensible conclusion reached
by the honest, but sometimes indisereet, old
farmer of ChappaqiIa. He thus sets out in
his new career by The wisdom of needing
the words of the COurieT-,J0ttia1GI. All we
have to ask of Mr.. Greeley Is that he will
keep this up. 1t is related of Mr.. Beverly
Tucker, not unknown to fame in years gone
by, that, strOlling down the avenue at
Washington rather early one morning. in
company with Judge Douglas, the Little
Giant threw his arms about the Vireinian's
neck and uttered words of affection
Tucker drew off increduIously. "DOug-
las" says he, "this is all very well; very
well, indeed, so far as it goes. But how
long is it going to hold out ~ Douglass
swOre that it should last forever. ''In that
event." says Tucker, 81 have only one favor
to ask of you, and that is, when you get to
be President, just to throw your arm about
my neck occasionally and call me 'Bev.'"
Mr.. Greeley is philosopher and can apply
this historic Renaissance to suit himself

Greeley.

Governor Hebert-The Leyees and Mr.,
Greeley.
We copy the following communication
from the Times of last evening. 1t is writ
ten by Ex-Governor Hebert:
New ORLEANS, May Is, 1872
To the Editor Of the New Orleans Times:
l observe that a portion of the Radical
press of this State is attacking Mr.. Greeley
for his alleged hostility to government aid
for our levees. Nothing can be more unfair
and unjust.
Two years ago, when a company was or
ganized in this State, under the auspices of
the Louisville convention, to construct and
repair the levees of the Mississippi valley,
it comes within my knowledge that Mr..
Greeley was an earnest advocate of
the government assisting the enterprise,
and published one of the ablest and
most jealous articles on the Subject
taking the distinct grounds that Congress
would cOEfer a greater benefit if possible,
in lending aid to assist in retaining our
magnificent alluvial lands on the country at
large, than on the immediate beneficiary of
its fostering care. Indeed, when an article
was carried to Mr.. Greeley embOdying an
appeal for government assistance to the
levees, he remarked that his only objection
to it was that it was not strong enough,
and added, in his own handwriting, an ur
gent demand on Congress for aid.
This is due to historical truth; and, ideR-
titled as my whole life has been with the
levee interest of Louisiana, / have closely
watched the position of our public men on
this question, and have always regarded
Mr. Greeley as our friend In this matter.
Very respectfully,
p, O. HEBERT

any warm day men can be seen at water
plugs making strenuous efforts to assuage
a natural thirst, and if facilities are fur
nished thousands of citizens will avail
themselves of the opportunity to obtain a
free drink This want we have supplied,
as far as we are able, by providing foun-
tains of pure water and clean cups. In
summer many poor men are compelled by
thirst to enter bar-rOOms to obtain drink,
spending money which they could not well
afford to part with, at the same time put
ting that into their mouths which will steal
away their brains-and hats. Bar-rooms
and looking through glasses may be well
enough for those who have time and money,
but the poor must be provided for, and we
have made commencement. Who will

suffering and degradation. All are invited

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
To my establishment, see by the big
family organ of your city that on the thir-
teenth instant there was mass meeting OF
the citizens of St. Tammany parish, in
which Governor Warmoth was most sound
" denounced and -. s. Grant fully in
dorsed, with all his family The fact is,
two of the CustOmhouse men came over,
and about dozen of the boilers of 1868
met and passed a set of whereases and re-
solves. If the reports from other parishes
which appear in the National Republican
compare with this one, Mr.. Grant will get a
very large minority in Louisiana.
st. Tammany is fer Greeley and Brown
for the two highest offices in the nation, and
for our own talented statesman, H. G. War
moth, for the next Governor of Louisiana.
WarmOth viii carry the parish by 500 more
votes than he did in 1868.
/ have not met with man in the parish,
except the Republicans that bolted in 1868,
who is not for Greeley and Brown and Gov
ernor II. G. WarmOth. ST. TAMMANY.

We understand that the church unani-

but Mr.. Reed felt that there was reason for
not Withdrawing it.
The following resolution was unanimously
adopted expressive of the church's regard
for him, and we are happy to add that we
fully concur with the church, and wish him
an abundant success wherever he goes

The Hearth and Home, in an editorial.
thus recognizes the worth of "old maids:''
at is no disgrace to a woman to live single,
to belong to class hOnored by such women
as Florence Nightingale, and Dorothea
Dix, and Mary Lyen, and Clara Barton, and
that noble Milliner of Bristol, and an army
of other sisters of mercy too numerous to
be catalogued. 1t is far nobler to marry
nobody than it is to marry nobody or to
marry knave, or to marry mercenarily,
or to marry unworthily in any way. The
fact that woman has lived single does not
prove that she is not vendible, but it does
prove that she has never been sold"

Matrimonial AIliance-A POetess and
Editor United.
Yesterday morning at seven o'clock, al
the residence of the brides grandfather
Mr.. j. P. Russ, was married A. NJ Hol-
brook, Esq, to Eliza J. Poitevent. The
groom is the venerable ex-proprietor of the
venerable and once vigorous Picayuloe, and
the bride is the sweet young singer pearl
Rivers whose simple but rythmical
chaunts are so familiar to the reading pub
lie South.
A marriage is always an occasion where
on congratulations and Fluctuations are al-
propos, and we can not permit this event to
pass without rendering to the high con-
tracing parties, the venerable ex-editor
and distinguished young poetess, our earn
est wishes for all that is deemed enjoyable
and good in the delightful-and to one, at
least, nOvel-state into which they have
entered.
Mr.. HOlbroOk, it is true, has attained that
point in life which has been set down as
the limit beyond which we mortals may
not hope to travel far; but this, it is pleas
ant to know, has been no impeachment to
the happy cOnsummation of the marriage.
And, indeed, what could be more appropri-
ate or poetical than that this delicate ten
drill of poesy should entwine herself grace
fully about the sturdy, though somewhat
sere and gnarled, oak of journalism, and
render green and lovely his declining years.
