while the adepth crime are merely winked
at? Why do they not more severely pan-

surgeons do most of their work away
from home? Have the people no conf

These questions however suggestive
are not the mere flashes of vivid imagi-

The skillful surgeon attends to all cases

sionally, the pioneer usually starts from
home, and the faithful watchman clings to

preaching danger. Why then is the edi-

larking around after subjects, many miles
from home, it is whispered about, that
prominent member of his party, (whose
name modesty forbids giving while we
appear in mask) who is now and has been
for many months, carrying around over
S5,OOO OF the hard earned money of the
people of this county, which he refuses to
pay over to the proper authorities Why
does the editor of the Democrat not venti-
late this matter, which is the immediate
interest Of the people? Is he in ignorance
OF the fact, when it has already come to
the ears of one from whom the avenues Of
such knowledge are cut off and carefully
guarded Why does not our waite hman
yell out ahOy to save an imperriled ship
at home? Why does he not let the truth
be known, and If the anonymous gentle
man is innocent, let the people know it,
that they may stop the slanderer's
mouths The truth is the Democratic
editor here is somewhat of party di-
plomat and is inclined to regard all as
proper that adds strength to his side,
without regard to the injury inflicted ON
innocent part les.
Such course however cannot conduce
to the health of republic, but must if

the people a prey to political vultures.

What Does 1t Mean

To casual reader. it would seem from
the manner in which the Liberal and Dem
ocratic Press are treating the Credit Mo-
bitier and corruption in other places, that
they were really the peoples safeguard,
that the editors had positively turned
political surgeons, fully resolved to cut
off every fungus or cancer, affecting this
Republic.
To one, however, who is supposed to
know something of the tricks of a parti-
editor, it is sadly amusing to see how
adroitly the Liberal and Democratic cards
are played, and how peculiar their editors
brandish their political knives to make the
people believe they truly are upon the
watch tower of this country, exerting
their might, mind and strength, in ehali
of the peoples rights, while in fact, the
most of them are down in the cess-pOOl ex-
pending their main strength and random
shots to hide the real situation-to make
much ado about nothing"
In his first diplomatic movements, it
was favorite object with Count Bis
marck, to add Schlesswig & Holstein to
Prussia, and yet it was well known that
these Duchies were part of the domin-
ion of the King of Denmark, and of right
belonged to him ;but to add to the strength
of Prussia the great diplomat justified any
means to secure the annexation, without
regard to the the injury inflicted on other
powers. When interrogated by friend
as to how he was succeeding, Bismarck re-
piled: II am making enormous progress
in the art of saying nothing in a great
many words-and if Manteuffel can say
what there is in them after he has read
them, he can do more than l can" He
had to convince the other powers of Eu
rope that this annexation would be to
their interest, and we'll knowing that
while this added to Prussia's strength, 1t
weakened other powers, it was necessary
to say nothing in many words to decoy
Europe from the true object.
The Democratic and Liberal Pre- has
the one object of increasing their power
against the opposition, and to this end will
SAY nothing in many words" but with
less skill than the Great Prussian, leave a
great many broken branches in their
trail to enable the careful reader to readi-
ly detect which way they are travelling.
We are not condemning. but applaud
the structures on the Mobilier, yet the
manner which the Democratic and Liber-
al press seek to cover up some Of the
greater and magnify some of the lesser
political offenses, SO forcibly impresses us
with the idea that it is a partizan trick to
secure partizan and that we confess that
the force of their articles are lost on US
in the consideration of what we conceive
to be the motives of their writer's
Why is it that in their exposition Of the
Mobil'er frauds, certain characters whose
greatest crime was innocent company
with rogues, are held up for fsgellation

that tho number of effective ships now

reached us in New Orleans, where we

Emery reached Monroe, suffering from
pneumonia, which was succeeded by Il
nervous prostration that brought on
final dissolution at O'Clock last Sunday

ments Mr.. N[cEnery was rational, and
conscious OF his approaching end, of
which lie spoke with calmncss and

The Editor returned home yesterday
evening, too late to say more for this
issue than that he feels very hopeful
concerning tho situation of affairs at
New Orleans. The startling develop
mcnts made at Washington es-
tabiish SO c0nc1usivcIy the want of
legality i'll tho Kellogg government,
that no one, not even the friends of the
Kellogg government in New Orleans,
entertain hope of its recognition,
We believe, though some others do
not, that we have safely passed also
the crisis Of now election. Senator
Morton's committee has recognized, to
an extent which commits it, the fact
that there has been an election iii Lott
isiana, and it is known that there are
enough members Of the Legislature
elected, whose seats arc uncontcstcd, to
form a quorum to transact business and
to set up Il regular State government.
The evidence taken by tho Senate
Committee so far develops nothing
damaging to tho Fusion cause while
on the other side the proof of frauds
and illcgitimacy daily grow so conclu-
sivr, that VIC believe the growing con-
scrvativc sentiment in Congress, of
whose existence Senator Norton's
course is good proof, will naturally and
logically fall into q recognition Of the
rights Of the McEncry government.
Oftho actual state Of affairs existing
in Now Orleans it would not be ,,rll-
dent to say much. Our readers may
take encouragement from the si:cniii-
cant fact that Ncllogg's friends arc lai-
~ dcscrting TO our side, and over
Whclming our leaders with disclosures
Of Radical frauds. 1t is expected that
definite action will be had at Washing
ton before the 18th.
