The fall in the Ohio during the past "a
hours was three inches. Between here
and Evansville the channel is very low.
The packets report only % inches at Hen
derson bar. At Cotton wood there is 3
feet. French Island is the worst place in
the river, where there is not over 20 in
ches, with the river in such a condition
what are the boats going to do2 Nothing
has happened TO improve the condition of
the Mississippi river. 1t is still on the
decline. Birds bend is chuck full of
snags, and the current is very swift.
Eight feet water below here.
BUSINESS AND WEATHER
Business has improved since the first of
the week. Yesterday was busy one at
the steamboat landing, and considerable
freight was received and shipped. The
weather was clear and cool Rain is badly
needed in this section of the country.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
The II. G.. Yaeyer was aground few
hours at Hamburg. She brought out
fair load, md filled out here with all she
could carry on the water.
The j.. S. Hyatt came down from Me-
tropolis with the hull of the John b.
Maude in tow. She laid here several hours
and left early yesterday morning. She
only got to Greenfelds ferry landing,
when the hull became manageable and
soon both of them were hard aground,
where they were still at dark.
The John Lums den was aground at
Henderson 6 hours. She arrived with a
fair load. She reported the LIE Claire as
having turned back from Paducah. The
river is so low that it is impossible for
them to arrive on time
The Mollie Ragon from Louisville
brought in fair load of reshippng
freight She reported the river in ter
rible plight. The snag boat Long came
in from Missouri river, where she had been
pulling snags. She will go to work pull.

been working on the Black Hawk nearly
three weeks and from what we can learn
has done but little good. The VIM. Cowen

The Belle st. Louis and Julia were

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-06-23

The administration now in power has
rendered itself guilty of a wantOn disregard
of the laws of the land, and of assuming
powers not granted by the constitution. II
has acted as If laws had a binding force
only for those who are governed, and NOT
for those who govern. II has thus struck a
blow at the fundamental principles of con.
stitutional government and the liber.
ties of citizens. The President of the
United States has openly used the
powers and opportunities of his high
Office for the promotion of personal ends.
He has kept VIGOROUSLY corrupt and IN
worthy men in places of power and TespOn-
Bibility, TO the detriment of the public in
terests. He has used the public service of
the government as a machinery of partisan
and personal influence, and interfered with
tyrannical arrogance in the political affairs
of States and municipalities. He has re-
warded with influential and lucrative Of
fees these who have acquired his favor by
valuable presents, thus stimulating the
decentralization of our political life by his
conspicuous example. He has shown him
self Geplorably unequal to the tasks imposed
upen him by the necessities of the country,
and enlpably careless Of the responsibilities
of his high Office. s
The partisans of the administration, as
suming to be the Republican party, and
controlling its organization, have attempted
to justify such wrongs and palliate such
abuses, to the end of maintaining partisan
Rscendency. They have stood in the way
Unnecessary investigation and indispensable
reforms, pretending that no serious fault
could be found with the present administra-
tion of public affairs; thus seeking to blind
the eyes Of the people. They have kept
alive the passions and resentments of the
late civil war 70 use them for their own ad-
vantages.
They have resorted to arbitrary measures
in direct conflict with organic law, instead
Of appealing to the better instincts and
latent patriotism of the Southern people by
restoring to them their rights, the enjoy
,ment Of which is indispensable for the sue
4nesaful administration of their local affairs,
and would tend to more patriotic and
hopeful national feeling.
They have degraded themselves and the
name of their party, which was once Justly
entitled to the confidence of the nation, by
a base sycophancy to the dispenser of the
executive power and patronage, unworthy
of republican freemen.
They have sought to stife the voice of
Just criticism, to stifie the moral sense of
the people, and to subjugate public opinion
by tyrannical party discipline.
They are striving to maintain themselves
in authority for selfish ends, by an I'M
scrupulous use of power which rghtfully
belongs to the people, and should be en-
ployed only in the service of the country.
Believing that an organization thus led
and controlled can no longer be of service
to the best interests of the republic, we
have resolved to make az independent APP
peal TO the sober judgment, conscience and
patriotism Of the American people.
