pressed Greeks are a nuisance. The
Southern people are too proud, too brave,
too independent to agitate for living.
Neither Belisarius, Marius nor Kossuth
are examples to an American freeman
however unfortunate.
The true policy of the South is to de-
velop her physical and moral resources,
to add to her wealth and population, TO
control her labor by acquiring its con-
tidence, to appeal to the federal govern
ment for a fair share of its appropriations
and patronage. The only constitutional
basis of power in this government is
population. With wealth and numbers
New York and Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Illinois are entirely at ease about their
rights, because they can enforce them by
constitutional means. We teach these
truths because we sincerely desire the re-
storation of Southern prosperity. There
need be no fear that power SO acquired
will be abused. 1t is the right of all and
we advocate it for all. In reply TO the
slogan of "Agitate Ggitate agitate !"
we would say Educate educate, edu-
cate!' the whole South to the superior
wisdom Of industrial development, &C
cumulated wealth and popular employ
ment

4 LOST DAY.

The unemployed portion of our popu-
lation yesterday responded with alacrity
to the orders to turn out" In any other
American city the presence of such a
crowd upon the streets and sidewalks,
filling the public squares, the coffee
houses, and blocking up the banquettes,
would indicate that the industrial interests
were neglected But such en- inference
can not be derived from the spectacle in
| New Orleans. Most of those who showed
themselves around Lafayette square yes
| terday are gentlemen Of leisure, whose
personal presence and supervision are not
| absolutely essential to the furtherance of
any mechanical construction, any work of
art, 'or any interest that may be considered
of public utility. They were not neg
lecting their business, for the simple rea-
son that but very few of them have any
business at present that requires their at
tention. But while this fact may Re re-
garded as unfortunate in one sense, as show
ing that this city is burdened with the sup
port of an immense idle population, it was
fortunate in another sense. For as they
had nothing in the shape of private mat
tiers weighing upon their minds to make
them wish themselves at home, they were
naturally calm and good natured, resem-
bling spectators at nm exhibition rather
than actors in serious drama In fact
the real actors were extremely few in num-
Der and did not have the sympathy of
the whole audience by long way We
are not prepared to say what course the
crowd would have taken had there been
any imprudence in the conduct of the |
police or State authorities of which for
tunately there was evidently no danger,
neither do we feel called upon to express
any opinion about it. We are glad to |
know there was no collision, nor any oc- |
casion for it. And it is an additional |
cause for satisfaction, perhaps, that though |
thousands could last night e1claim with |
the Roman Emperor e. have lost day." |

4 FRAUD.

The store closing business yesterday
was downright humbug. A few honest,
innocent victims actually shut their doors
and suspended business, but only about
one in dozen of those who made pre-
terfse Of so doing. The remainder kept
their shutters up, but doors open, and
the usual spiders were on hand lying in
wait for the customary flies
Of course Republican business men,
and many other common sense persons,
pursued the even tenor of their way, and
bore the misfortunes of their shut up
neighbors with the highest degree of for
titude. They seem perfectly willing to
fight it out on this line if it takes all
winter W. do not think any of our
merchants WI be so fooJshly trapped

We believe not.
Every device was used 10 stimulate hope
of success in the breasts of the dissatis-
fed, and thus win their active supp ort to
the movement In addition to dragoon-
ing innocent shopkeepes into closing
their stores, and appealing TO the cupidity
of the idlers and needy by announcing
that g large fund had been raised to
''carry on the war" ali sorts of false re-
ports against Republicans themselves
were cunningly and widely circulated.
Governor Pinchbsck was sick unto death,
and Warmoth was to take his place; sew
eral Senators and more Representatives
had joined the revolutionary cabal al
their new headquarters, leaving the
General Assembly without quorum:
the police were in open revolt
and had to be locked up in the police sta
tons and armory under guard, while the
military not only refused to do aught
against 'this.people, p" but the cavalry in
Tivoi circle had made arrangements with
a Democratic club to loan it their horses
and carbines, to be used in q contemplated
attack upon the State House. But all to no
avail. The people could not be driven
and would not be coaxed out Of their good
temper or into the hoped for violent de-
monstration; consequently the plotters
were foiled, and their schemes fzzIed.
The mountain labored aud brought forth

AFTER THE EXCITEMENT, BUSINESS


While we do not expect anything like q
competitive examination of merits between
the Legislature and the unauthorized body
that met yesterday ct Odd Fellows Hall
yet we hope our friends will prove
themselves in every way worthy of the
confidence reposed in them by the people.
There is plenty Of important work before
them, requiring study and inquiry to en-
able them to perform properly The mem
bers have nothing whatever to do with the
body setting itself up as rival General
Assembly. The duty of looking after that
party is in other and. appropriate hands,
and ample preparations have been made
to preserve the peeoe. which, fortunately,
we perceive no serious disposition to
break
There is nothing, therefore, that is like
ly to interrupt Or interfere with the bust
ness Of the session, and we hope soon to
be able to devote more time and attention
to matters Of general concern, believing
that the exciting local events that have
for some time claimed so much of our
space are about to lose their absorbing in
terest. A people may be amused for
time, but can not be sustained by excite
ment. With the reaction that follows, the
sober, earnest duties of life again claim
attention, and can not be put off. We
hnf ha OCl- nf
restoring order out of the confusion that
has been created in the late annual at
tempt to revolutionize the government of
this State in the interests of the enemies
of Repubicanism. Wisdom, industry,
moderation and economy should, and We
believe will, be the guide of every mem
Der of our party. By such course we
shall have nothing TO fear for the future.

force people to close their stores in bust

as sure to prove unsuccessful in the future
as it has proved in the past. Verify, ''the
