OUR COMMERCIAL ANTAGONISTS.

AS the fog of federal politics begins t;
lift we perceive that the exclusive devo
ton Of our part Of the South to that highl,
exciting game, federal Office, has caused
neglect Of our material interests. We hav,
never known man devote his time Il
outside amusements thss he did not fine
"his crop in the grass" wheneSes he has
time 20 look after IT,
| The commentators on che President
message complain that he has said nothing
Of Louisiana affairs. What could he have
1 said to.have pleased his critics? They de.
nounce the North, the government, and
even their own fellow citizens who do not
| obey their orders like spaniels.
But, in the mean time our commercial
| rivals cultivate sectional antilles, and re,
ceive federal aid for their local interests.
While fighting line is here drawn be-
tween the Fusionites and all who do not
! obey them, elsewhere, people confine
their political strife to election times,
and at other seasons unite in promoting
the common interests by which all who
labor, live.
We have . speech from Hon Mr..
Prince, of New York, on The subject of
transportation. Unfortunately, we do
not know his politics. Ne remarked
that
AS member of the New York I.eeisla.
ture it was his business TO look after the in
terests and sustain the supremacy Of New
York city. which must depend at present
upon increased transportation, since in this
way alone could the trade with the West be
sustained.
After asserting that New York should
sustain her supremacy. Mr.. prince points
out the value Of che eomNeNe 60 be CON
tended fog:
During the wear 1872 sie vece;pts Of -four
and grain from the interior at the various
seaOoard ports OF the ccuHtry. including
Montreal, reached che Sas. aggregate OF
15S, ABS, $50 bushels.
OF this New Orleans handled Of ali
grains less than ten million bushels. But
the competitors Cor this trade sse thus
noted:
Baltimore has put forth her endeaSors by
the buildin. of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad and the improvement of the Cum
berland canal; Philadelphia, by extending
the connections of the Pennsylvania Cen.
trail railroad throughout both the North
west and the Southwest. New Orleans en-
joys the advantage of a natural water com
munication. extending through the whole
interior of the continent, embracing the
great valleys of the Mississippi, the Mis-
souri, and the Ohio. Canada stands in an
almost similar position as regards the coun-
try drained by the great lakes, and is dis
playing NEST commendable energy and de-
in overcoming the natural OBJ |
stacles at Niagara and the st. Lawrence
rapids to the direct shipment Of Western |
products through her own dominion from |
the la yes to the Atlantic.

ness OF the good people whom they now
somewhat annoy.
BY WAY OF VARIETY.

Captlous persons have often remarked
that there is suspicious uniformity in
the Geographic dispatches that appear in
the morning papers in the large cities, and
that New Orleans affords no exception to
the rule. Why this is thus, or whether it is
SO at all generally, is not at present our
purpose to inquire or explain We mere
~ wish TO put it upon record, for the ben
eft of those'who like little variety in the
manner OF relating the same circumstances
by different parties, that an occasional
departure from the monotony complained
OF is occasionally INDUCED in by some of
the city dailies here, at least For in
stance, the agent of the Associated Press ae
Washington, on Tuesday night, sent the
following dispatch, which found sufficient
favor in the REPUBLICAN Office to be re-
! ceived and published without alteration:
The proceedings to-day were not encour-
aging to the Fusionists of Louisiana, though
the zeal issue was lodged, and, by Buffers
own statement, he champi0ned the bill
which seated Sheldon and Sypher, but did
not claim de lure government for Louis
lana. Sypher, Sheldon and Pinchbac1 were
named in the resolution, A separate vote
was demanded, and upon reaching Pinch
back the House adjourned.
The Times, with q wholesome fear Of
the consequences ofemploying the Heralds
pet name for the modern Democracy, and
not having convenient substitute at
hand, publishes the opening sentence thus:
The proceedings to day were not encour-
aging to the ant Republican roters of Louis
lana, etc.
The italics, denoting The emendation,
are ours. But the Picaytuae.does not stop
at changing the phraseology Of the re-
porter. 1t actually changes the meaning,
and introduces new element, one not in
the minds of those who sent the dispatch.
1t will not be limited by any pent up
terms, nor admit an interest in any aeore-
cation of individuals capable of being
circumscribed into small space So it
substitutes a dispatch Of an entirely diff. |
ferent meaning:
bS pAoSCouiuSS to'ud1 vert uOC PncOuc- |
aging to the rhite people Of Louisiana.
though the real issue was lodged, and by |
Buffers own statement he championed the
bill which seated Sheldon and Sypher. but
did not claim a de jure government for
Louisiana. Sypher. Sheldon aud Pinch
were named in the resolution; separate
vote was demanded, and upon reaching
Pinch the House adjourned.
Our italics again. The Bee adopts the
style of the Picay,o1e, and informs sla
population blanche de Ia Louisiana" that the
congre ssional proceedings of Tuesday
nothing encouraging to them.
Now we consider here is sufficient
to please any one not entirely
addicted to antitheses IN cadence though
we fear that truth has been sacrificed for
he sake Of sound At all events we have
| sort of mixed verdict that the ..Fusion-
SITS of Louisiana" the Republican
7oters, the white people" and ga
)Opu'Gtion Blanche de Ia Louisiana" are con-
'idered convertible terms by some of our
who are at present osten-
IDLY engaged in keeping their readers
veil advised of the current matters of the
Law

the local distribution of this grain. but

the local distribution of this grain. but
Mr.. Prince says:
The greatest danger was to be feared
from Montreal because of the advantages
OF her geographical position. He referred
to the efforts being made by the Canadians
to complete canals capable of bearing YES
sells having a tonnage of 1000 to the sea-
board, and said when these works were
completed, there would be no longer any
reason that single bushel of grain should
| come to this port over and above what
might be required for home consumption;
and it we should lose the export trade, a
vast amount of other business would be
| taken away also.
We wish our readers to note we'll this
statement. 1t is literally true, since the
st. Lawrence offers D nearer, cheaper,
shorter and more capacious way to Liver
pool than does the Erie and Hudson canal.
But why should not New York, who will
not ''get % single bushel of grain" as
against the St. Lawrence aid 10 open
the Mississi ppi? With the first freeze she
would control the whole grain trade until
the spring, and after that would have a
line competing with her great rival We
would Recommend our snarlers at the
Presidents message 10 cease gnawing at
that file, and see if they can not put their
strength to some more useful purpose
Until they display a little more dis
position to conciliate those xrom whom
they can alone expect assistance, it
can not be surprising that 40 en-
thusiasm in them or their projects
is exhibited either by the government or
the people Of other sections. 1t may be
pleasant to abuse little local power, but
when it is followed by an indignant con-
tempt on the part of those infinitely more
powerful, it ceases 10 be SO advantageous
A skipper who has been cursing nd ropes
ending everybody on board fishing
becomes extremely small potatoes
when he comes on the deck of % man-of-
war. 1t is to be apprehended that the
Fusion fire eaters feel among the represent
tatives OF the thirty-nine millions a good |
deal like sardine in the nav of whale. |
Surrender, gentlemen, come home and |
aid in defeating the common antagonists
who profit by our dissensions.
