The Herald vituperates against the
Republican party because the system Of
assessing property for taxation opens the
door TO fraud and oppression. We do not
know that the present board OF assessors
needs any defense from the Herold's in
nuendoes; that journal is Zoo general in its
accusations for much faNh to put in them.
But we do wan: TO make the point that
the system complained Of il not Re.
blican invention, but relic Of the '.good
old Democratic regime" when the "best
talent Of our best citizens" was employed
in devising means and ways to cheat the
public. Whatever temptations to go
astray, therefore, the law throws in the way
of the official, is justly chargeable to the
enemies Of our party. The Democratic
Legislature after the war made 10 attempt
to correct the law while its adherenss were
in Office; and the Republican majority in
subsequent Legislatures, doubtless with q

THE SAGE OF SILVER SPRING.

The profession has observed how COM
pletely the New York Herald has sacrificed
character to sensation. Its editorial col.
umns are no longer marked with the sa-
gacious ability which once distinguished
them. 1t has perished away into head.
lines. 1t has substituted the fimsy per-
sonalities Of an adventurous reporter for
the judicious lucubrations Of a profound
scholar. The Herald has no more the
steady course Of the ocean steamer, but
the gusty and insane gyrationS Of the bal
loon. One of its commissioner sud-
denly intrudes into the cavern Of that
anchorite of Freesoil Democracy, F. P.
Blair, Sr.. and meets about the reception
of hiE. who walked up the enchanter
Merlin. Mr.. Blair seems as much annoyed
by his questioner as the great enchanter
was, and, like him, begs the commissioner
''to leave me leave me to repose!'
The commissioner begins the interview
after having adjusted his pitch pipe to the
hearing Of the sage, by assuming Mr..
Blair to know all about the Herald and Gee
sarism." As the sage has noticed no such
sentiment any where, he asks in the most
bewildered manner for an explanation.
This the commissioner prefaces by saying,
''AIr. Bennett, who is an acute thinker. :"
Now as Mr.. Bennett has barely enough

ST, LOUIS AND NEW ORLEANS.

We are gratifed to see the determine.
ton Of St. Louis to develop Southwestern
Texas, Arkansas, Kansas and Louisiana.
New Orleans is unable to do this, and it
is very important to her that it should be
done. That whole country was wilder
ness set apart for the savage and the buff
falo. Now It is being occupied by civil
lied people. New Orleans must deal with
these people, while she could have nothing
of the buhaloes bu: their hides. and the
Indian trade had ceased with US alto
gether. So much for that humbug, the
theft Of our trade by st. Louis. With
short piece Of railroad to Shreveport we
shall fish out our share of this develop
ment. We shall sell them their groceries.
and goods of Southern Europe. st. Louis
will furnish their provisions. Cincinnati
their manufactures. New Orleans will
sell their cotton and St. Louis and Gin
cinnati get pay for their pork and bed
steads in cotton bills. remitted by our
factors. There will be large travel from
these new regions. which will fill our
hotels and theatres.
We were told Of one thousand packages
for Mexico that were last week taken on
to the cars. on: Of bond, by the Morgan
railroad, and conveyed directly to their
destination. Now. if We had short con-
nection with the Texas railroads. New
Orleans would get her equitable share Of
that business, and this would be more
profitable than the share Of any other one
city.
But St. Louis, for some purpose not
reconcilable with her character for good
judgment, is carrying line OF rail to the
mouth Of the Sabine river. This is con-
trary to her interest. New Orleans has
the only deep water port on the Gulf
coast upon which a foreign commerce can
be built up. She has assorted cargoes,
heavy cotton tonnage as a basis, and she
has power Of distributing imports that
no other city except New York possesses.
Let St. Louis then develop all the interior
of which she is a centre, but her interest
requires that she should concentrate her
patronage and influence upon New Or
leans. Her bulk grain trade especially
depends on New Orleans. Shrevepor.
will make very good local centre, but
she is nearly two hundred miles off the
direct line between New Orleans and st.
Lous. That line cuts Memphis and Jack
son, Mississippi, and is indispensable TO
the express and mail service between the
two great cities. New Orleans and st.
Louis, therefore, are parts of the same
great Western metropolis. We warn st.
Louis that in attempting 20 cut loose, and
build up a separate destiny for herself.
she jeopardizes her destiny as well as our
OWN.

bills from Europe on the Herald Office,
this embothers the sage still more, and
he very naturally says, II do not quite
understand you. You say the Herald is
commended for its sagacity in this rss-
pect?" But this is not the worst snub
which the Herald aunkey receives at the
hands Of the Sage Of Silver Spring. He
brings out such al opinion Of Grant as
initiates very much against the theory Of
tyranny and corruption set up by that
''acute thinker" Bennett, Jr. Here is
what F. p Blair. ST.. thinks Of General
Grant:
I never underestimated che man. Vie

credit tor. He il endowed with that un-
known quality called common sense. He

Judge of men as well as horses, looks at
circumstances, weighs every thing carefully,
and when his mind is once confirmed in
successfully as any man l ever knew in all
my long experience among public men.
He is superior to his party-lnuch better
than his party in every respect.
But it arises among the dreams Of the
sage that the Democratic party of Jetfer-
son will come UP again. This brings up
anew the political career Of Mr.. Blair
He split off from the nullifers and adopted
the Freesoil Democracy of Van Buren.
He was always opposed to the Carolina
school, and was in effect one of the foun-
ders of the Republican party. He could
not conceive of a Jeffersonian Democrat
who was opposed to abolition nor to edu-
cation. nor inimical to the Union, tor
Jefferson was the champion of all three of
these great principles. 1t was. as the Re-
PUBLICAN has explained. very easy
to Unite political extremes IN the
support Of Democratic :icke: be-
fore the telegraph and the daily paper.
but now Mr.. Blair. if he should duplicate
his own years. will never see enough Of
any one species Of Democrats to govern
this country. The most they can do will
be to muster band at every election, and
sell out TO the successful party for money
and whisky enough for an annual or
quadrennial tight. So, after the Herald
commissioner has as usual said good
dea! more than the subject Of his inter-
view. Mr.. Blair gets tired Of his imperti-
nence about Mr.. Bennett. the ''acute
thinker" that Suetonius and his twelve
