TRUE ECoNoMY.-The country is at
present flooded with cheap and lnte-
rior goods of every description, which
are heraldcd to the public in flaming
advertisements and which find Il mark
ct among those who have yet to learn
that "tlue economy" consisisin buying
q first class article from an established
and first class house. For example,
pianos of various makers are offered at
about one-half the price of those OF
really first class manufacture. Among
the latter none are more deserving OF
the ecomium "really first class than
those manufactured by Messrs. VIM.
Knabe g. CO., of Baltimore, firm
which dates over third of a century,
and whose Pianos for excclIency OF
workmanship, durability and sweet
ness of tone, stand absolutely unrivail-
ed and containing many valuable
patented improvements, to he found
in no other instrument, made by the
very best workmen and of strictly frs,
class and seasoned material.
The so-called "cheap" piano may
present fair external appearance.
but is made OF inferior and often en-:
tirely unseasoned material, and soor
becomes q wreck which dciies the ar
of the tuner. We make special men
ton of the piano, as the most forcibi'
illustrations Of our remarks, which cal
be applied to almost every article W.

Course Ct The Democrat.

Now that the important elections
in our State are soon to take place,
and that the patriots, who have been
fighting with their graves, when they
should have been facing other music,
are again wiping the dew drops from
their names We are already in receipt
of communications marking ont our
course and making use of the Demo
crat generally. We may as well now
and for the balance of the campaign,
lay down our platform, which we in
tend to stand on Or burst in the at
tempt. The Democrat Is ours and
belongs to no party or set OF men or
clique. and we intend to manage and
direct it's course accordingly. Since
the late unpleasantness, we have car
ried it on, without the aid or assls-
lance, directly or indirectly, OF the
Democratic party of Rapides, or even
it's moral support. Its leaders have
not taken the trouble even to speak
a good word for us at any time, con-
tentine themselves with making use OF
us when the battle cry is raised,
hardly approaching the fact that the
laborer is worthy Of his hire. We
are now well matured in Democratic
harness and know who are our teu
friends. In a word, we have been
running our paper. for the past five
wears unaided, and ne may as acet
sag, unpaid by the Democracy of Ra'
hides. From this out we take new
departure, in a business point, and
intend to think and legislate little
for our Journal. Politically and sec
tionally we stand as of old, and in
tend to make battle, under the same
old banner and with the same yea
and earnestness. But we wish the
dead, buried, the Coroner to do hi'
duty and departed worth not t'
haunt us, and above all to be paid fol
our legitimate services. In word
people, who wish to be freed iron
political slavery and have peace ant
expect the moral use and support c
the press, must at least have som
consideration and respect for it.

HORACE GREELY'S LAST

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 26.sThe latest
issue Of the Caucasian, published at
Lexington, Mo, contains tie following
letter, addressed to the editor.
New York, DEC. IS, 1871.
P. Denham Lexington Mo:
My DEAR SIR [ have yours Of the
l4th. inst. I have no doubt that the
policy you suggest aais that which your
party ought to adopt They should
have had Mr. Salmon P Chase in 1868
Then. as the result Of that contest the
return of genuine peace and thrift
would have been promoted. That DO
licy sgave you more last year in Mis-
souri, than could have been achieved by
a party triumph. You only err as to
the proper candidate. [ am not the
man you need. Your party is mostly
free trade, and [ am a ferocious pro-
tectionists. [ have no doubt that T
might be nominated and elected by
your help, but it would place us all
in false position. III, who am adj
versely interested, can see this, am
sure your good sense will, on reflection
realize it. You must take some man
like Gratz Brown, or Trumbull, or
General Cox, late Secretary of the In
terror. and thus help to pacify and re-
unite your country anew. Yours.

ANOTHER NEW YEAR.

Another year has closed its account
and we have already entered the porta
Of new one. The year just close
will 60 down in history as one Of the
most remarkable Of the century Fire
and sword have eft their indelible
imprints upon its face, and the year
1871 viii be placed on the records as a
most disastrous decade IA the worlds
history.
The war between France and Prus-
STA, the burning and sacking of the
proud and beautiful city Of Paris, would.
alone immortalize the year. But since
passing through that direfol and
bloody period, how fearful and destruc,
tive has been the march Of 1871 J!
The great emporium of the West,
the glory of her time, and the wonder
of the century, the removed city Of
Chicago is laid low by fire and storm
on that terrible night in October, and
tongues Of FIRE swee p'through the woods
and villages of Wisconsin and Michigan,
burning everything in their course
and spreading destruction and dismay
on every side.
Dark and terrible as the old year has
otter showed itself, and sadly memoir
able as it must ever be in the word 5
history. it has act been without It's
bright sides, Bountiful harvests have
been youchsafed to many Of the countries
of the world, and a measure of pro
grsss has been made among the civilized
notions in various va s. We do not
hesitate TO assert that The world is
wiser and better to-day than one year
ago, in spite of frauds and great crimes.
In no previous year has there been Sc
much accomplished towards seeking
out wiekedness in high places, and
bringing the perpetrators to cond gu
punishment Let all, then, enter upon
the present year full Of hope for the
future, believing that much will be ac
eomplished before its close, toward:
purifying US as a nation, so that fol
honesty and good government We may
well set an example to the world
To all the readers and friends of tbs
REPUBLICAN, we pay our respects in
wishing them Happy New Year.

The long talked of Civil Service Re-
firm, which changes materially the
present form Of appointing uearly all

operation the beginning of the year.
When vacancy Occurs all parsons ap
plying for the position are obliged to
go before an examining board, who
are to be tie judges as to their ability
and general fitness for the Office for
which they are candidates, and thus
the matter is kept out Of the hands Of

does not apply to the present iacum-
bents Of the government Offices, but on y
