TIE ERA OF PEACE.

With the election of Mr.. Greeley, which
may almost be considered foregone con-
clusion, the era of good feeling will be
returned again to the minds Of the people
The North will accept the adherence of
the South as an evidence Of her satisfac-
ton with and reconciliation to the results
! of the war; and the South will feel that
she has made an offer of peace and friend
ship that will entitle her to a full restora-
ton to her old place in the councils Of the
nation. Men who struggle in a common
cause are worthy to be friends. Men who
differ, and then adjust their quarrel in the
face of common danger, show themselves
to be possessed of such mutual sympathies
that their after intercourse can be counted
on to be frmer and more enduring than
it was before they disagreed. All the
people of the American Union accept of
Mr.. Greeley as an honest, conscientious
and Independent man, too brave to con
ceal his enmities and too frank to disavow
his friendships. That he has opposed the
South in some of her ideas, is true, and
that he did SO persistently and openly is
admitted. The ground of his opposition
persisted with the war, and his opposition
persisted at the same time. Now he is
our friend, and as he opposed us once, so
now we may rest satisfied he will befriend
us hereafter. When the sword was
sheathed at Richmond he testified his
loyalty to justice by signal act of cour-
age Since then he has constantly de-
manded amnesty for the people and justice
this fact, that even IN the flush of victory
he refused to exult or to take advantage
The North offers him to US as pledge of
her intention to do what we have asked
and what she has desired to perform. It
is for the South to embrace the opportu-
nifty to be fully reconciled, and to obtain
great favor for herself This is the
helping hand we needed, and if
we grasp it, as we should, the occasion |
will rejoice the country from one extreme
to the other as the settlement of dispute |
that has long existed to the damage of our
selves and our friends. Where division |
now exists, peace will be established;
where differences weaken, harmony will |
return to make US strong. The road will |
then be wide enough for all the people, and |
a common greeting will pass between men
whose interests have been injured by their
refusal to know each other. The State |
will rejoice because her citizens will be
united and harmonious instead Of distract
ed and discordant The monstrous evils
that have existed by virtue Of antipathies
that should have been buried with the /
causes that brought them into being, will
cease to prevail, and with their disappear
ance the men who angered themselves
thereat will forget in the newly-awakened
of the country, that they ever
had cause to be discouraged or distem-
pered. All that we have to do now is to
beat down the party that seeks to prevail
by continuing the animosities Of the past.

be made to eonduce TO their comfort.
By this means we can secure Europeans
as citizens and as helps, but not as con-
tract laborers. And they are more valu-
able in the first capacity than they are in
the last, for while as citizens they help the
State and all the people, as mere contract
laborers they only assist with drudging
hand the man who brought them from
their hard lot in Europe to put upon them
a still harder lot in America.

from the malignant party, of which the
President is the head, two years ego, by
carrying the State of Missouri, and now he
is engaged in extending the circle of his
protecting influence to all the States. As
matter of course Louisiana will second
the effort, for she abhors malignity.

A new plan for college commons is pro

large and convenient commons hall, costing

is thought, good board can be furnished for

That Marshal Packard was afraid of the
poor devils he had ,duped into betraying
the Republican party and accepting seats
IN his convention, is shown by the fact
that he hired a number of the Democratic
bully boys of town" to lay around loose
at the National Theatre, in order to sup
press any turbulent members who might
too violently assert their independence
and privileges. They acted as sort of
unbadged body-guard for the s'boss. He
had to pay pretty roundly, though, for the
services of his Democratic alies-ten and
twenty dollars a day per man; and those
who got only the smaller sum think them
selves yiIlainously cheated, and are his
sworn enemies for the summer Hurrah
for Greeley!

A little word to the men who refuse to
pay their taxes The city and the State
will institute separate suits upon each tax
bill, judgment will be rendered, the costs
will be charged up, interest will be added
in, and the amount will be entered as a
mortgage on the property. This mortgage
will draw interest until it is paid, and the
whole will rest as a cloud upon the title
Any party desiring to sell his property
will have to pay the entire tax bill and the
costs, with all the accrued interest, before
he can give clear title, and the expense
of canceling the mortgage will have to be
added. This seems to be about the ac-
tual expenses the taxpayer will be called
upon to adjust if he willfully persists in
going to law about his duty to the govern
ment he looks to for protection. If the
controversy is carried up on appeal,
heaven knows what the cost may eventu-
ally amount to, and how much it will leave
of the property to the owner. A poor man
in the Sixth District of New Orleans who
involved himself in this sort of trouble
two years ago is now without any property
to pay taxes on The costs and his volun-
teer lawyers consumed his substance en-
tirely. And the men upon whose advice
he acted slyly paid their taxes, and after
that gave him cold comfort in his adver-
sitY.

A couple Of weeks ago a local item in
this paper described a dinner to some dis
tinguished colored gentlemen, given by
J. NJ. G. Parker, Esq. The host was
credited therein with uttering his belief
that President Grant was no better than he
ought to be, or some such reasonable SEN
timent, which he felt called upon to have
contradicted through the medium of let
ter from a Mr.. Downing. This communi-
cation was promptly printed in a subse-
quent issue of the REPUBLICAN, and there
the matter should have rested; but Mr..
Parker, apparently with a desire to win
some cheap notoriety, represented to the
bearer Of Mr.. Downing's letter. Governor
Pinchback, that We refused to publish it,
and thereby induced the latter to give to
the world a card of explanation. This is
very stupid affair, indeed. Had we sup
posed General Grant felt so badly about
what Mr.. Parker said or omitted to say of
him, we would have issued extras for both
the original assertion and Mr.. Downings
declaration that he heard nothing of the
sort uttered. It'might have avoided the
necessity for a Cincinnati convention.

The Bee and Citizens Guard are united
in the assertion that the nomination of
Horace Greeley was one that was not fit to
be made. This reminds us of little joke.
An intelligent lawyer once attempted to
help his case before a country magistrate
by reading the opinions Of standard legal
authorities as part CT his argument.
Being interrupted by the justice with some
such nonsense as we might well imagine
the Bee and Guard would utter under sim
liar circumstances, he passed remark
that was taken in high dudgeon by the
court. His explanation, given in the in
terest Of his client, to the demand Of the
justice, was that he only read the opinions
in order to show the court how great fool
old Blackstone was. The nomination Of
Greeley shows what g set of fools the Gin
cinnati convention was composed of-iD
the estimation of the Bee and Guard.
