importance to New Orleans. The organ
of the irreconcilables contained scath-
ing denunciation Of any Southern man
who would accept Office at the hands OF
Republican administration. As an exam
pie, it stigmatized as personally infamous
Hon. MIR. Orr, of South Carolina, then
United States minister to Russia. He
died under this anathema, and if any
word of reconciliation or regret has
been addressed by the same organ
to the bereaved and insulted family
of this gentleman We have not
seen it. Under such denunciation 1t
can not be expected that the federal
government, will press many such ap-
pointments upon the South. Their OBJ
ject is naturally to conciliate the Southern
people by showing them the power and
disposition of the federal government to
aid in their restoration. If the hand that
feeds is bitten, it usually stops that repast
of the bitter. This is also human nature.
We need expect to announce few South
ern applicants for diplomatic stations, be-
cause it is esteemed seciable dishonor to
the applicant. The government can not
be expected to throw away valuable mis-
Stops on people who repay them with
contumely toward the government and the
incumbent.

CHINESE LABOR.

The in DISPOSE ton of an American white
man to do continued manual labor is well
attested. Hence, perhaps, the extraordi-
nary development of mechanical desires.
Hence origina lily, no doubt, the importa-
ton Of pagan peoples to cultivate the soil
and scrub the floors. The Californians
have that labor-phobia, very strong. They
send to Asia for their field hands, cooks
and washermen. With this cheap labor,
however. comes much vice and persistent
idolatry. Your native American has like
wise congenital disposition to ridicule
all who do not speak his own language. or
who may wear peculiar habiliments. So
the Chinaman Of California comes under
the combined batteries of those who do
not like his rate Of wages and those who
condemn his mode Of dress. The opposi-
ton to John Chinaman is at present very
active, and those who profit by his cheap
labor are compelled to come to his rescue.
Here is the reply to one charge against
John for renting his wages to his native
land, after the manner Of the rents of our
millionaires.
1t is said that they send money out Of the
country. wonder who sends the most, the
Chinaman or the white foreigner! If one
could get at the sums reunited to England.
Ireland and Germany, and those sent to
China, I do not know which would be the
greater. But a Chinese, to whom l men
toned this charge, made me an excellent
answer. He said: Suppose you work for
me; suppose I pay you; what business l
what you do with money. If you work
good for me, that all / care. No business
my what you do your pay" Surely, he was
right.
So long as John works for low wages he
will find plenty cf defenders should he
rise to an equality of wages with other
laborers, he will not be so popular.

MUTE NATURE TEsTIFIES.

IN spite of the coIlectunea Of ISLANDERS
against Louisiana, foreign and domestic,
her unrivaled capacity of production,
tells for itself. Here is the commenda-
tons produced at Vienna by an exhibition
of our agricultural productions. We wish
there could have been malcontent ex-
hibited alongside as specimen of the in
gratitude of man for the benefcence of
Heaven. The correspondent Of the New
York Herald thus tells how the Emperor
of Austria noticed the trophies from the
South:
But while dwelling upon the South we
noticed the admiration and interest which
attended the imperial examination of the
trophy of cotton which stands at the en-
trance of the west gate. Cotton in all
forms. gracefully built up and festooned
and twined into cunning shapes, forms this
trophy-cotton from Mobile, New Orleans,
St. Louis, Lee county, Mississippi: Lnn@us,
Missouri and Memphis; notably a cotton
plant in full bloom, furnished by a negro
of Charleston, who had been slave, but
who brought hither this tree as free man to
deck the trophy which awaits an Emperor.
Here also we noted silk cocoons and expires.
sions Of moss and hemp and Irvine and
works from the South adding to the trophy,
and showing that war, however, it may
have channeled and furrowed the
fair fields Of these noble Southern States,
did not deaden the life that dwelt in their
soil nor the energy and genius of the men
who cultivate their acres. All this pro-
foundry interested Francis Joseph, who
stood for some time examining the trophy
the banner, SO it seemed, that proclaimed
to the world that cotton was again Eng-a
king no lees because these. her tributes and
harvests and tokens of strength, are the
work Of freemen and not of slaves. Con.
sidering all things, the South should be
proud of her share in this American depart
ment. If all States had done as well as
Louisiana and Missouri, many American
cheeks would not have blushed as in follow
ing the Emperor to-day they saw what
America had done and knew how much more
grand'y and proudly she could do.

who live and labor in Louisiana by no

They desire friendship and aid from all
of the opposite race. We desire such edu-

BACKS WATER.

The Galveston Standard took US to task
for our advocacy Of an advanced state Of
education for the colored people. thus
placing them on an equal ability with the
whites to conduct the scientific, literary
and mechanic arts. The Standard con-
siders this disparagement Of the colored
race as tending to regard them as mere
laborers for the other race. Perhaps the
Standard does not properly consider the
stand point of those who have befriended
the colored people on the battlefield and
in the schoclhouse. 1t must perceive that
very large proportion of these people
were, and are still in mental bondage;
they can neither read nor write, nor have
they access to those scientific OF
mechanical occupations so essential
to society and to themselves I. is
our purpose to SO unity their interests
as to merge their labors with that Of all
Southern society. and SO insure their pro-
lection and estimation. This is in our
anu tOC1iS NAoC fbANA pCA ECNuuA
philanthrcphy. Representing, as the RE-
PUBLICAN has always done, the numerous
body of the poor and ignorant. is its wish
to see them armed with better means Of
rendering their labor more valuable and
more indispensable to society a fit subject
for censure? And now for the editor Of
the Standard. The editor stands, we be-
lieve, in that delicate relation to both
races which should interest him cordially
in their .econcilition. He has had some
apparent advantage in being able to
write for a newspaper. Now, the great
mass of the colored people whom We repre-
sent, are laborers of African descent. We
wish them elevated by education and en-
ployment. We wish them to vindicate the
wisdom Of ourselves and others, who
assured them their freedom. We do
not think our more fortunate contem-
porary should use word to rreiu-
dice them against friend who has
SO well proven its sincerity as the
REPUBLICAN has. We assure the Stand
ard that none can rejoice more in the
specimen of a newspaper which it presents
than ourselves, bat he ought not to object
to our making colored chemist or ma
chinist or machinis: as he may be a
printer or an editor. We assure him that
such futile attempts to prevent the col
ored people from rising to competition
even with US editors, is not at all liberal.
We are of opinion with the late Governor
Dunn that the uniication of the interests
of the two races in the industries tends to
harmonic their relations still more. The
antagonism and jealousy of races which
the Standard seems DESTROYS to cultivate,
might tend to preserve the dependence Of

PRETTY WELL FOE A PENCE.

It seems the Prince Imperial who in
herits the name and misfortunes of Louis
Napoleon, has been attempting little in
the way of ora.ory. His mother lately
held. or was offered Cthe telegraph is not
very clear on this point reception at
Chiselhurst, England, upon which occa-
sian the young man spoke up pertly in
the first person, singular, thanking some
unnamed persons (his entertainers prob
ably for having prayed to the same tune
that the Empress and young Louis pitched
their supplications in. Now We can think Of
but one thing that young prince
out Of employment would be likely
to trouble the heavenly powers
about. and that is. of course. the
divine assistance to boost him into the
imperial seat. He and his mother have
been praying persis:ently and vigorously
for this interference in European affairs
ever since the day of Sedan, probably.
but we had not supposed the good people
of Chiselhurst felt such lively interest
in reversing the result Of the war with
Prussia. until the young hero who was
"baptized in fire. and picked up bullet
on the field of Saarbrucken, told them so
to their faces the other day. IAN exile
near the tomb Of the Emperor it seems
to US could find but little value in the
patrimony he fnds-the principle Of ma
tional sovereignty and the flag that
consecrates it. If this means any,
thing, Of which. however, We are by
no means certain, it appears to us to indi-
cate that the principle Of national SOW
ereignty has supplanted that of individual
sovereignty, to which the founder Of our
dynasty was by no means Indifferent.
And within less than a century after the
founding Of this dynasty, and its illustra-
ton by very captivating motto, embrac-
ing sentiment dear to every American
Democratic heart just before an election,
we find the people of France making a
very severe and practical application of it.
"All for the people and by the people, -
when translated into English, means little
for the princes of that famous dynasty.
and nothing at all by them. We consider
this very unsatisfactory sort Of a patri-
mony for young man who has no trade,
and but limited capital to find in the
beginning Of his career, and in foreign
land a, that.

OUR CROPS AND THEIR PROCEEDS.

There is now reasonable certainty
that the staple crops Of the Southern
States will be abundant. The latest re-
ports are quite encouraging, tempered,
however, with expressions Of anxiety on
account of the appearance Of worms,
caterpillers and other enemies of cotton.
Corn is reported to be in good condition
in those localities where large crops are
planted, and here in Louisiana we are in
process of harvesting the largest crop of
rice ever raised in this State. It is too early
in the season to make very close calcula-
ton about the growing cane, but We hear
more favorable reports than otherwise.
We think it may be safely estimated
that we have raised at least four million
bales of cotton in the South, with other
crops in proportion. These four million
bales will probably realize about three
hundred millions Of dollars, one half of
which will be paid to and distributed by
the plantation laborers. The other moiety
will be distributed among the planters,
factors, cotton presses, warehouses, ship
owners, brokers, draymen and bankers.
The rules that govern the transactions
among these various interests are proba-
bly, sufficiently well adjusted to require no
material change, and it is not our present
purpose to discuss them. our object being
to dir.ct the attention of our merchants
and jobbers to the one hundred and fifty
millions or more which fall to the share
of the laborers. A very large percentage
Of this immense sum will be disbursed by
the recipients for ordinary supplies and
necessaries Of life. Some small fraction
will no doubt, be invested here and there
in real estate, and some may be turned
into State and city bonds. while the
savings banks are nearly certain to receive
fair proportion. In the work Of sup
plying food. clothing, and the va
rious articles Of manufacture in general
use in the household, the country store
keeper will play conspicuous part. He
is an outgrowth of the changed condition
Of our society wrought by the war. Coun-
try stores are constantly on the increase
in the interior Of the State, and they have
to some extent superseded the city COM
mission merchant in the business of sup
plying the country with goods and mer-
chandise OF every description. Now. as a
rule, the country retailer has no city COM
mission merchant to whom he sends his
orders for supplies in advance. and pays
out Of the proceeds of the crops as the old
planters have done for SO many years.
He buys his goods direct from the whole
sale dealer or jobbeS and thus saves the
commission Of two and half per cent for
purchasing. Naturally ne goes to the
market where he can obtain the best
terms, not only in prices, but credit, in
surance, freight and guarantees. st.

From this statement it will be seen that
there has been little wheat exported from
New Orleans since the war, and the cur
rent year not a bushel. The testimony OF
the merchant quoted must relate to
period before the war, when wheat was
brought down the river in fatboats and
exported exclusively in sail vessels. 1t is
not pretended that at that period the con-
ditions indispensable to a sound ship
ment existed. There was then not even
an elevator in New Orleans. But that
this is not considered by shippers an un-
sound route for grain, we state the fact
that there was exported foreign from
New Orleans in 1S72-73, not less than
four million bushels of corn in bulk

assertion Of Consul Fairchnd that no

BUCKING AGAINST UNCLE SAM,

1t became necessary few days ago for
some metaphorical Congressman to ex-
plain that "bucking up against the tiger"
meant blindly fighting an invincible ar
tagonis., who could be neither tricked nor
scared worth a cent. It is in this sense
that our politicians have been involved in
an insane conflict with the federal govern
ment. This we have characterized as in
the caption to this article.
The REPUBLICAN has constantly warned
those who are interested in the commerce
and real estate Of New Orleans that they
had better devote their exertions to the
protection of their own interests. There
are those who have argued that these in
terests are best advanced by political war
fare against the federal government and
an intolerant assault upon every resident
and immigrant who will not bind himself
to vote at the next election for Demo-
cratic candidate, under some political
alias OF other. The REPUBLICAN has ex-
planned that there are political and polem-
zeal cities, as Washington and Rome, as
as there are commercial cities, as Liver
pool and New York. By force of agita-
tation New Orleans has been made a
political city. The agitators have raised
their barbados out of the most valued
and vital interests of the merchant, me-
chanic and the house owner Neither Of
these interests have dared demonstrate. De-
liberately Sc: in antagonism to the federal
government, New Orleans can not expect
any especial consideration at the hands Of
Congress. She has had, and will have, JUS
tice. exact justice. The customhouse,
postofice, and all other federal agencies
are here, as elsewhere. provided for.
That bestowal Of patronage, however,
which has always been discretionary-that
discretion which would have made a
Southern Democratic President refuse
official appointment to political oppo-,
nent, now excludes politicians whose sole
mission is the overthrow of the Repubi-
can party. This is human nature, or
what is the same, partisan nature, COM
mon to all in every age.
