THIS entirely satlSiActory explanation
of the back pay business, In The Nivouri
Republican, does away completely with
the troublesome question Of responsibility
and places tho whole subject in q most
agreeable light: 1--WE presume there has
been misunderstanding about that back
pay business. The fact Is, the whole thing
was a touching episode Of mutual dlsin-
terestednes8, Congress passed the bill,
mot because It's members wanted thai
money, but because they wanted TO testi-
~ their regard TOR the Presidents services
BY raising his salary. And the President
signed the bill, not because he wanted the
increase Of salary, but because he thought
the members ought to have back pay"

that Mr.. Parker, one Of the Democratic

A SPANISH STEAMER.

To leave the double-engine government
and professional politician and go down
upon the levee will raise any true friend
of New Orleans from gloom to buoysncy
One interest is busy telegraphing sill over
the world our tumult and ruin. The other
has raised rampant of barrels and hogs
heads with bastion of bales and boxes
One warns the stranger TO give the fated
city wide berth for fear of stray shot
or an ill-s1Vised gimlet-knife; the other
signals the merchant and ship owners of
the world that this is one of the most
magnificent ports. with the greatest vsri-
ETY. of valuable commodities. Hence it is
that while there may be panic on Caron-
delet, there is throng of drays, clerks
and laborers on the leyee, working as if
they were saving goods from a fire, or as
If they were running them out Of the way
of an enemy.
We expressed tc the enterprising agents
and owners of the State line and of the
Allain line, our surprise that they
should have ever found out our port. We
own no tonnage in New Orleans, and while
willing to act as agents and brokers, have
exercised very little public influence in at
tracing commerce rom abroad Tho
ability of our city is mainly directed to af-
fairs of State. The view Of our active
people is rather turned to the City Of
Washington than to Bremen or Liverpool.
and the telescope power of our press is
rather engaged in scanning the orbit of the
supreme judiciary, tLan looking out for
the argcsies of trade. Our citizens were
some days since excited with the appari-
ton OF q steamer under the Spanish flag

The capacity of the Times to be of ser

by it's change of rulers. The editorial di-

pursue proper understanding thereof in
the face of the prejudices that now distract
the community. For years the Times

The LByEE QUESTION.

All light that can be thrown upon the
charges Of wrongful measurement Of
levees, for which the State has to pay, is
welcome; therefore, we cheerfully give
room to the letter of the State engineers.
We had no idea, at any time, of attacking
these gentlemen In our remarks on the
subject, but if. under some provision of
law, which VIE have failed to find, they are
responsible for the protection of the public
against the company in this respect, we
still do not BEE that injury has been done
them by u.s.
We have made no accusations; simply
asserted that such statements have been
made Hence, if their department is
honestly conducted, as they SO earnestly,
and doubtless truthfnlIy. claim, the in
vestigation demanded can only result to
their credit and honor.
General Longstreet has been appointed
to represent the State on the commission
of engineers. He Is upright and able,
beyond the suspicion or question of any
one. The dutyis especially charged upon
him, not only to establish the dimensions
of the levees 10 be built, but to inspect
the work when performed. Should the
report Of the State engineers and Com
missioner Longstreet coincide, it would be
an added lustre to their fair fame. That
the surveys and measurements are in per-
feet order at the Office of the State engi-
neers is happy circumstance, as it will
expedite the examination, and thus earlier
relieve the public anxiety on the subject.

Throwing PEBBLES

The Piody4ne reads the boys febsurt
for their wickednes or thoughtlessness in
casting pebbles that break windows, de
face houses or injure people. 1t is bad
practice, and one that the boys should
cure themselves of before the habit leads
them into the commission of greater acts
of wickedness But before the boys are
too harshly censured, perhaps they have q
plea TO put in that may in some degree
| mitigate the anger of the public. The
throwing of pebbles is of two sorts, one
purely physical, which the boys practice to
the discomfort of the public, and the other
hypothetical, wherein the men on the
street corner engage in the practice, when
they point the finger of soorn at those who
are brave enough to have opinions of their
own. We had an absolute hailstorm of
pebbles threatened upon the business men
of New Orleans last Monday if they did
not shut up their doors and windows while
Wsggaman, Ellis & Co. rode down the
street in unmolested defiance of all au-
thority. They were not important enough
to warrant arrest, as the country can not
engage in the manufacture of cheap
martyrs at present, but then they
had little bags of pebbles that
they used to drive honest and timid
folks in doors with. And the Picosrsse,
with pompous stride, carried her head
eroot through the streets, while ever and
anon she took little pebble and broke
some window because it belonged to
colored man, or stove in some door be-
cause the owner refused to believe he was
the slave Of despot OF spattered the
paint because the man behind it con
sidered the United States government
to be worth all the governments in the
country outside of itself. The boy who
merely throws stone and breaks win
dow commits an injury that may be re.

and falsely teaches him that She law is

prevail that obtain in California and New
Mexico. In very little while, in fact
just SO soon as the colored people can
learn to trust the white people of Louisi-
ana, the two races will come together as
the Americans and Mexicans have on the
frontier. This is plain to any party who
visits the Legislature, where the most up
roarious believer in white supremacy con-
sents 10 be on the best of terms with the
most pronounced representative of the OPP
posite idea. And during the last election
races were very near to each other at one
time, and had it not been that the Demo-
Gratis showed their teeth on too slight a
provocation, the prospect of trade was
very good. The parties who preach that
we are to have war Of races do not know

did steamer the Franooh, the pioneer of
the new Anglo -Spanish line. This steamer,
under the agency of Messrs. PUG Brothers
and of J. Fl. Ashbridge, Esq, had made
the run from the Spanish city Of BARGE
Iona in the Mediterranean sea. Barcelona
will be the home of the line, which will
make triangular trip, touching at Hava-
ma on the voyage to and from New Orleans,
but loading at New Orleans for Liverpool
direct The vessels of this line are British
built, of adequate capacity for twenty-four
hundred bales of cotton, and in every re-
spect with frst-olaSs accommodation for
freight and passengers. The organization
of q permanent line of this character proves
that the Mediterranean merchants see in
the fruits and fabrics of the French and
Spanish coasts and the cotton demand of
England and Spain, the materials of
trade with the great interior South and
Southwest. This trade is to be conducted
through the agency of our port and ner-
chants. This return Of regular Spanish
trade ships to this port after the long in
terval since the Spanish rule in Louisiana,
proves the innate and unaided commercial
advantages of this great port. 1t can not
be long before all the commodities which
are reciprocally consumed by the people
of the Mediterranean and the Mississippi
must come for entry at our port, and
transportation by our steamboats,, barges
and railroads. Those goods will be i'm
ported and distributed by our merehsnta
Now we consider the wise and enterprising
men who projected this trade as inspired
by the same foresight as the great Genoese
who sailed likewise from Spanish coast
port. He added q new world to the do
minions Of king who, like other poll
tioians, knew very little about geography
or astronomy. Our confidence in the des-
tiny of New Orleans is based upon the
strength of her commercial position.
Generations of merchandise called

Office hunters or holders may perish, and
they are far moro ephemeral-but the
deep water, the accumulated cargoes, and
the genial climate of this port will con-
tinue. The ways, natural and artificial,
will improve and increase with the popu-

"OUR WAY OF HSCAPE,s

''Eurekai" ezclaims the Picaynse. We
have found ''our way of escape" from the
meshes of the law which have SO wofully
bound up and entangled our plans for
| selling the government of the State. And
then, through the medium of a column
and half of spitefui accusations and
venomous abuse, announces its wonder
full discovery to be that Congress may pos
sibly adopt and vit8lize the revolutionary
plot of the fusion hackers. Had the Plea
cure not been 30 much in love with it's
own well-rounded periods, it could have
put this conclusion in much more terse
and authoritative form, by quoting from
Attorney General Williams dispatch, SO
carefully ignored in it's columns to wit:
'The recognition of the existing govern
ment is final and will be adhered to
unless Congress otherwise provides. /"
Well the Republicans are not only will
ing, but anxious for so august and impair
tial tribunal to try their cause, confident
Of establishing not only their complete
justification, but covering their enemies
with mantle of fraud and infamy. 30
for once, if it is honest in its declarations,
we are in accord on a political issue With
the Ptoostsse.
But we question the honesty Of our con-
temporary, because it declines in advance
q solution of the vexed question, which.
while working q grievous wrong to our
party. would unquestionsbly develop the
reN merits of the controversy:
In the first place, then, with the bsyonets
of the United States TO support them, there
Is no redress by new elections from the
gang of mean tyrants and thieves which
new hold the people of Louisiana down
by the throat With the power to
appoint to Office all managers Of the cleo
tions, and to control the ballot-boxes and
count the votes, all elections can be nothing
else than mere mockeries. If, without the
power of appointing the managers of the
elections, of controlling the ballot boxes
and counting the votes, they have auda-
ciOusly seized the government of Louisiana,
and by mere fanciful invention and COM
putatioa of figures, manufactured officers
for the whole State, how absurd must be
the expectation that any other result will
be produced in any other elections, with
their unchecked possession of these means.
Stripping the above of persihage, the
Picaylse's meaning simply is, that with
Warmoth's aid, they very nearly cheated
the Republican party out Of it's victory.
If, with his management of the ballot
boxes, count of votes and manipulation of
returns we could not grasp the govern
ment, what chance of success could we
have with those powers welded by Re
publioans, or even neutral authority,
which would deal honestly with the
masses whom he swindled in our behalf.
This ia a confession of defeat We hardly
hoped for 30 soon
We desire no better case than thae pre-
sented by our contemporary upon which
to- submit our interests to the American
people, leaving out entirely the considera-
ton as indicating animus and motives,
the unreasoning and senseless abuse Of
the President with which she1 article |
