THE CITY AND STATE.

As money has no sympathy with dis
order or bad government the parties who
are seeking to assist the city of New Or
leans through her difficulty, should reflect
that they are not aiding their project
when they assail and seek to destroy the
credit of the State. The fortunes of the
corporation are subordinate to those of
the general community, and the citizen
who strikes at the State strikes at himself,
as being part of the society he assaults.
New Orleans can not prosper while the
power that controls her destinies is the
subject of misfortune or distress, and
therefore the sentiment that sets itself up
in enmity 90 that power which controls
the fortunes o: the State. commits an act
of the grayest folly; since it thereby sets
itself up against the city. The interests
OF the town and country are one, and the
blow that destroys the good name of the
general government must intlict injury
upon the local organization.
1t is expected, no doubt, that every Re
publican viii respond to the demand for
assistance on the part Of the city, as it is
his interest to help the community; and
it is just as confidently anticipated that
the tusionists will decline to render any as
sistance to the State This is of a par
with the usual selfshness that has cha
racterized this people, and the unfair
ness OF the thing has been overcome by
the impudence OF the men who asserted it.
The minority or the weaker party in
Louisiana, has really subiugated the ma
jority by the assertion of its dominance.
We propose to reconstruct this order of
things. The Republicans Of New Orleans
are entitled to respect by virtue of their
intelligence, their activity, their monetary
strength, and their numbers. The opposi-
ton derives its principal strength from its
impudence. is recklessness. and its capa-
city to awake the echoes of the night with
noisy demonstrations. 1t Is, in fact. like

ond emancipation ,thenceforth. The clubs
that subsist by political spoliation bully
the entire community, and it is time they
were taught to be obedient to those that
feed them rather than to the Incorporate,
illiterate and despotic.
The city government has no right to
ask assistance while its friends are assail-
ing the State authority. And if the repre-
sentatives Of capital desire to put an end
to the confusion and disorder that exist
they will suggest that the best way to help
the city is to put it in sympathy with the
supreme power of the State, rather thai.
in opposition thereto. The members of a
common community can not destroy the
principal structure in which they live, and
hope to be prosperous and contented in q
more clubhouse. Those who are laboring
to assist the city must also labor to assist
the State, for the two go together in pros
perity or adversely

LET rs RESIST THE MOB,

# correct tally could be had OF the
men who conscientiously deplore the domi-
neering disposition of the Democracy in
the city of New Orleans. we sincerely be.
lieve the list would comprise majority
of the people. But the fact is the COM
munity has submitted 10 be bullied so
long that it still consents, because it does
not know how TO throw OFF the incubus.
In the history Of many country towns it
has occurred that there prevailed over the
reputable and peaceful citizens some sui
len rough, who made himself Law by
his utter disregard Of al! other laws.
These local despots continue in the exer
else of power until the master COMES, who
smites the bully and proves his pretentious
courage to be the merest shamo Then the
community feels relief. Every citizen
breathe $reer that the menace has been
removed. New Orleans needs jus: such
salvation. The Democracy has domi-
neeyed over the citizens of this city
for six years with all the unblushing
effrontery and malignity Of country
bully. It has awed men who had no an.
tipathy to the negroes into opposition to
them. It has made Republicans deny
their faith. /! has made Southern people
who desired to live upon terms Of amity
and friendship with all their neighbors
turn their faces against the colored folk
We have submitted to a miserable mob
rule for gears. and it is time that we cast
the mob off. The man who sells goods to
negroes will not be their enemy if he is let
alone : the corner grocery keeper who
sends his wife or daughter to wait upon
negro and who keeps accounts with them.
would not make any disturbance if it was
not that the Democratic clubs parade
about his doors and require him TO raise
his voice and curse the ''niggers.' The
sensible people can stop this-it is to their
interest that they should .io it. and the
quicker it is done the sooner ",e :nay ak.

FOREIGN INTERVENTION.

It it is admitted on all hands that the
Southern States in the late war derived no
advantage from foreign Intervention. Per-
haps it was an impeachment to success be-
cause it constituted a reliance that was
unavailing 1t diverted to expectations
part of the time and energy that should
have been directed to action. Is not the
idea of making issues that embarrass the
business of Louisiana for the purpose OF
securing support from those States which
may be robbed of their rights hereafter,
specimen of the same policy? There
could be no more conclusive evidence of
the humiliation of State rights" than
Populations of citizens to petition for re-
dress or continued agitation within the
law under the hope that other people will
take up and redress our alleged wrongs on
the theory that they may one day become
their own. Agitation and the intervention
of others has been often tried as a remedy
for alleged oppression, but has never, ac-
cording to history, been successful Poets
are, in one sense, regarded as pro hets,
and they have said that he who would be
free should strike the blow himself This
power of attorney to some one else to I'M
molate himself for the sake of securing
the rights of others has very little effect
in actual practice

EQUALITY BEFORE The LAW.

We commend TO our readers the very
able argument OF Senator Blackburn in
support Of his resolution to instruct the
Committee on Penitentiary to inquire
whether there are not certain convicts now
in the Penitentiary who owe their unfor-
tunate position to the fact that they are
colored. Mr.. Blackburn sets forth in clear
and succinct terms the disabilities under
which cOlored people labor in various sec
tons OF the State. 1t would appear from
the remarks of the honorable Senator from
Claiborne that the officials in some Of the
parishes endeavor to compound for their
omission to enforce the law against one
race by excessive zeal in the prosecution
of the other. This Mr.. Blackburn Justly
characterizes as equality before the law on
paper only. Ifhis remarks are considered
severe, we are compelled to reply that the
fault is not his, for there is no doubt that
they are true. The more the pity. He
calls upon the Republican party of the
State and the nation to apply remedy to
this crying evil. Its existence is a viola
ton of law and humanity, and reproach
to this State

and that warrants are alta serious discount

sense they would know that their friends,
or those they profess great friendship
for, the taxpayers, must be the eventual
sufferers from this depreciation of public

out of the State treasury in some shape.

find in the same sufficient reasons for
starving out the members of the Legisla-
ture and driving them from the land OF
their adoption" Now, when it is consld-
cred that nearly FL the members OF the
Legislature are natives Of this State, as are
their constituents, while the majority
of the employees of the City Hall are for
eigners to this soil, we hardly know how
to reconcile the theory with the practice.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to find
anything like consistency III this pro-
gramme from beginning to end. If 1t Is
proper to pay the city taxes to sustain the
city government and we join with those
who insist that it is, then why is 1t not
equally proper thing to do to pay the
State taxes to sustain the State govern
ment? Both taxes are authorized by laws
emanating from the same authority, and
both are necessary for the public in
terest5. Laws are understood to be equally
binding upon all parties. The Repubh-
can can not urge against the enforcement
of law that its operation favors Demo-
Graf, and we never heard that any Repub-
lican ever set up such plea. But our
opponents coolly recommend that the same
system of laws shall be enforced so far as
it fayorS their officials, and suspended so
far as il promises to assist Republican
officials in the discharge Of their duties.
This is no: a very creditable system of
politica! ethics 70 proclaim to the world.

the State treasury under their control,
