as if he were double ironed and barred
within the deepest cell in which the Holy
Inquisition ever inmured an infdel.
Over this compartment may be inscribed
two immortal axioms Of Jefferson, the
great Republican: ''Our civil rights have
no dependence on our religious opinions. y
Error ceases to be dangerous when
reason is left free to comba: it,
It is thus that the sages of America
have proved the prophets and pioneers OF
the old world, converting beings to the
wisdom Of integrity and the str.ngth Of
free thought. It is thus that the whole
policy Of those governments toward their
people has been modified by the mild ex-
ample Of an experiment before their eyes,
and perfected for their adoption. Eng
land has learned tina. a human being,
having been born under king. without
consultation Or assent upon his part, may
make choice OF some other government
without asking the assent Of the king.
She has also found that those who inter-
vene in the civil wars OF others may get
their fingers burned IN damages. Switzer-
land and the German States each recog-
| nize the American doctrine OF religious
freedom. Ecclesiastical intermeddiing-
that domiciliary discipline Of an inter
national confessiOual-LaS become irk-
some, intolerable, and will be excluded.
The people will worship God according to
the dictates Of their own consciences.
They will look to the State for an inter-
probation Of the laws which the people
have enacted. From these decisions no
appeal will be to any foreign potentate,
whether he CLAIM, right to rule either in
the name of God or in his own.

LEVEE INSPECTION.

We dropped into the State Engineers
Office yesterday and found General NJ.
JEFF Thompson. chief Of that department,
busily engaged with his subordinates in
preparing maps, etc. of the levees along
the Mississippi to the Arkansas State line.
We learned from the General that the
levee commission. composed Of General
Longstreet. On the part of the United
States government, Professor Forshey on
the part Of the Levee Company. and him.
self, representing the State. would leave
here in few days on the State steamer
"Ozark" to make. in accordance with
law, an annual inspection Of the levees.
1t is usual to do this at a season Of the
year when the river is at its lowest stage.
in order that the condition Of its banks
may be better known, and steps taken to
make the necessary repairs to prevent
overfows during next year. The work of
the Levee Company has certainly pre-
vented any serious break in the banks Of
the river during the present year,
and has thus established a feeling
Of security among planters con-
tiguous to the river that must
have the beneficial etec. Of encouraging
more planting in Our bottom lands next
year. Danger OF oyerhows have caused
many to abandon the cultivation Of these
richest Of Louisiana lands in the past, but
as it becomes more thoroughly known that
through the work of an efficient Levee
Company. in which State and federal au-
thority is represented. this danger is to be
no longer apprehended. the cultivation Of
these lands will again be resumed and the
product Of cotton. sugar. ETC., materially
increased.

of the plan with all classes of creditors,
excepting the ring Of brokers who man
aged to monopolize the public money as
it was paid into the treasury, the Gov
ernor has recently advised the Auditor to
continue the purchase Of warrants at auc-
ton as the money accumulates in the
treasury. Under the old plan Of paying
out the money the brokers managed to
get 1.-the lions share" They deprecated
the value Of warrants by holding posses
sion of the treasury and then bought them
at their own price, thereby robbing both
the State and its honest creditors. The
Governor and Auditor, We are satisfied,

brokers, and give the State and its cred

into the treasury.

WANTS A WAR OF RACES,

The Galveston STANDARD is dissatisfied
because we wish to so educate the people
Of color as to place them in an industrial
equality with the whites. 1t desires TO
keep them IN their present relation Of
mere field workers On our part We pro-
pose for them the benefit Of polytech-
mic and industrial institutions so that from
the colored race may come also our arcLi-
tees, engineers, and mariners. 1nopening
new industries to those whose education
and opportunities have never allowed them
to acquire this skill and knowledge, do we
not aid them most efectually? In pro-
viding the State with profcients in indus
tries which do not exist, do We not unity So
ciety? Yes, upon the basis OF mutual and
reciprocal interest. Now, the REPUBLICAN
claims to know as much Of the race re-
!ations as our friend Of the STANDARD! can
possibly teach Us. The REPUBLICAN de-
sires to preserve for the coiored people
the confidence and continued esteem of
the country. 1t has recently published the
oppression toward the colored people prac-
ticed in Philadelphia. The REPUBLICAN well
knew the late Lieutenant Governor Dunn.
and knew his opinions to have been op-
posed to the war Of races advocated by
the Standard! Governor Dunn knew
the superior immigration Of the whites,
and he always said that whatever Of
intolerance or violence might be
practiced by the colored people in
an accidental or temporary majority.
would be retaliated by the whites ulti-
mately. He advocated harmony on
tie high grounds Of justice and mu-
tual interest. We labor to make
those interests more intimate and
to increase. if possible, the inducements
to unity on the part Of the whites. We
have had very serious experience in this
war Of races which the .>tu1.day! seems to
prefer. There was the massacre Of more
than three hundred colored people in
Grant parish by the whites before the
United States troops could interfere for
their protection. Our contemporary of
the Standard is too warlike. He wants to
lap 1.-The blood Of the Englishmar. The
colored people are in the minority in
Texas. Does it suit the colored people
there to proclaim var against the whites :
Yet such is the view of the Standard in
reproaching US FOR wishing tostrengthen
the social Obligations Of harmony by add
ing thereto the manufacturing dependence
OF the whites upon the colored people.
If the StoIdarI wants to cultivate war
Of races-though We believe he belongs
equally to both-let him pitch into some
Texan ranger, with his bowie and re-
volver. but leave US to deal with our COL
ored constituents in more peaceful man
ner. They are perfectly satisfied with the
sincerity and wisdom Of the RErvBIIcAS.
which has been evinced before to-day.
They can not, upon outside testimony. be
induced to believe that anything detri-
mental to their honor or welfare would be
permitted

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN EUROPE.

Bismarck is as bluff as King Harry.
Indeed. barring that Bismarck has never
been charged with immortality. there is a
rude resemblance between the two. Henry
VIII. defed the ecclesiastical domination
of his day. as Bismarck has denounced
similar pretensions now. We like the
positive and declared policy Of strong
men. It is more estimable than the
frauds Of diplomacy. Luther. who would
Ego to Rome if every tile on every roof
was devil" suits US better than Richie
lieu, whose every breath was lie-yes. a
lie-from the time he swore to the Pope
that he was old enough to be bishop,
and after getting the crozier confessed to
the Pope that he had sworn to lie and
asked absolution. These men of rough
phrases are confident Of their principles
and pit their lives upon them. The last
strong phrase of Bismarck is. that the
Estate should be the God of the citizen"
Literally. this would be blasphemy. We
can not suppose it was so intended, for we
have never heard the German statesman
called atheist. Taken in connection with
the circumstances which provoked the ex-
preston We may suppose it was intended
to advocate the tota! separation of State
and religion. It means entire freedom of
individual opinion and the highest right
Of private judgment. It means tina: no
ecclesiastical power. foreign or domestic.
shall intervene between the citizen and
the government. 1t intends that no citi-
zen shall enjoy the protection of his gov
eminent and get dispensation from
another government to disobey the laws.
1t denies that any human power has au-
thority to announce when God permits
obedience to law Of the State. and to
grant in the name of God absolution to a
citizen for disobedience to the State. It
washes ont this notification and higher
law doctrine totally and forever. The
immediate provocation Of this bold dogma
has been no hostility to human faith il 9:
Creator. but the proposed intervention
from dilapidated potentate whose tenn
poral jurisdiction has been crowded with
in his own corridors.
1t has often seemed to Us that God De-
sired to save mankind the endless itera-
ton Of tyranny and revolt. practiced very
often in His name. He. therefore, in
spi,ed the discovery and occupation Of a
continent. in which men, driven for their
dissent from the old kingdoms and her
arches. could institute new powers OF
rule and of thought. These experiments.
quietly conducted for more than two CEN
turies, will present their full fruits on the
fourth Of July, 1876. The century plant
of freedom will then not only flower. bu.
will present its matured fruits. One Of
these perfected productswill be the entire
freedom OF private judgment in spiritual
affairs. Here will be shown. as in
a theological menagerie, all the varieties Of
human faith, harmless if not harmonious.
There will be ample verge for the most
demonstrative manifestation of piety.
There will be space for the most decorous
and formal worshiper, while 'the fool
who hath said in his own heart. there is
no God will sit in his appropriate niche

candidates against Southern candidates?
How happens this jealous support by the
dishonorable North of the honorable can
didates of the South? There is one solu-
ton If a Northern man calls himself "a
Democrat" he is no longer "a Yankee,
but is instantly endowed with "honour.
Elect him President, and the "honorables

debauchee. He surrounds himself
with thieves who steal from the public
treasury and divide in private with their
chief Any man who, while in Office I'M
der Buchanan, bore a fair reputation, ac-
cepting Office under Grant, becomes il
stantly villain, a component atom OF
that ''fetid scum" followed by the ravens
Of the PicGyune. These diatribes by this
Timon of New Orleans have become in
tolerable even to those in whose name and
at whose expense they are printed. There
are Southern men who repudiate this foul
abuse Of men of both sections. There are
Southern men who have as good Con-
federate yGr record as anybody connected
with the Picayune. from the date when
it became the organ Of Butler to the
present. They will compare their rec
ord with any one connected with
this autocratic Journal from its presi-
dent to the foreman. These Southern
men have risked life, lost limbs, rights
and estates as others. They will not al
low any to stigmatize them for infdelity
to the South or for personal dishonor, be-
cause they may consider the war at an end.
These men do not permit any clique to
denounce them because they may accept
a situation in the store of Northern
man, or an Office under Northern ad-
ministration. There are others of them
in business in New Orleans. They ac-
cepted amnesty with a sincere purpose to
keep its terms in act and in faith. They
do not intend to see business ard people
driven from the city by a political intol-
erance, which can have but one effect ifit
has not but one object. TO withhold
from the industrial and commercial inter-
ests Of New Orleans all aid of foreign cap
ital, and to concentrate upon the city all
the animosities CT an equal intolerance
elsewhere.
There is in the same paper d warning
to Southern youth against Northern edu-
cation. 1t alleges that this tends ''to the
general propagation of the peculiar ideas.
sentiments and aspirations of the New
England mind. Like streams flowing
from one poisoned spring, their graduates
went forth to all parts of the country. car
rying and spreading their baleful teach
ings." We look upon these as among the
illusions Of a mischievous malignity.
Conscious, apparently. that its organic
action must soon cease, the reckless spirit
collects its last vitality, to sting with in
discriminate venom the bosom that
warmed with the hand that had stricken it.
