New Orleans Republican., 1873-08-16

The PicGyne is daily illustration OF the
necessity that exists for newspaper to te
under the control OF one intelligence. For
instance. the editor is daily doing all in
his power to create dissatisfaction in the
minds of its readers against a free form of
government. and perverts history in the
most glaring manner to make point
The news editor. on the other hand. who
seems to be an independent agency, is
ambitious to give his readers full par
ticulars' Of every important transaction in
the known world. Unfortunately for the
editor. however. the valuable exchanges
are all either printed at the expense or are
under the control and management of
men we'll affected to the United States
government. I. occurs frequently, there
fore. that the premises laid down on which
to found an argument against the United
States government are fatty contradicted
i'll the same paper by the man who wields
the scissors. The following appears in
the editorial columns:
The scene IL the Canadian Parliament on
the occasion o. Mr.. Mckenzie, leader OF the
opposition. rising to prevent the removal OF
the investigation Of the Credit Mobilier to
the Royal Committee was enc almost as ex-
citing as many Of those which the Capitol
at Washington has exhibited. It would APP
pear tina. the reasons for objecting were
that II the matter was sent to the Royal
Committee, a thorough, scrutiny into ne
action OF the Ministry ould not be had. and
it was therefore the endeavor of Mr.. Nc
kenzie 20 keep the matter before the Com
mons, and i. was this that aroused the sup
porsers Of tie government. The usher Of
che black rod appearing az an nppOrtune
moment with a message from the Senate.
carried all those favoring the Ministry out
OF the chamber amid tha .lsses of the oDpO-
s;ion. The Washington Credit MoNlIer
estiyation showed Ike determination
to Gu: OF the. truth.
Such is the version OF the editor But
in another part Of the same paper will be
found the following extract, giving very
different version:
Sir John Il Ma acdonalc has gone to the
Canadian capital TO meet his doom. The
Pacific railroad bribery affair is on the eve
of crisis. for Parliamen. will almost nee
essariiv be p-oroyEed immediately, and a
rOyal com mission lett to determine the
guilt or innocence OF the ministers. it was
Sir Johns original intention to appoint a Par
liamentary commission to investigate the
Huntin gdon charges, as such a commission
would not have power to administer oaths or
send for persons and papers, and, therefore,
could be easily manipulated by the govern
ment: but recent disclosures have forced a
propagation and sla appointment of royal
commission, which has the oath-administer-
ing power lacked b.y the ordinary Parlia-
mentary committee. It is highly probable,
therefore. tina. rhe places in Ottawa which
have known Sir JOHN and his colleague
vii: soon know them TO more. The Cana
dams are 70 be feIicita.ed ou the rapidity
with whie.: the popular Judgment affects
the ministry.-Cai.dg" Tribune.
Now, how is casua, reader to know
which version is correct? Is the Pc or
the Chicago paper the better authority?
Ii the Pic is eorrec. then full investiga-
ton was s:-arglei. But if the Tribune is
correct. then By the course adopted an
impartial and thorough Investigation will
be had.
