When the real friends OF free govern

the South that free laboy was always more
effective and vigorous than slave labor,
they told the truth. And when they pre-
dicted that under this system Of free labor
the productions Of the South, including
cotton, would soon double and qua
druple in quantity they fore:old some
thing tia: is certain TO happen: and pos
sibly sooner than might reasonably be
expected, considering the opposition tna.
has been made to free labor and free gov
eminent by the old friends Of slave labor
and . government controlled by slave
owners. These old humanitarians Of the
South are still ''as proud as Lucifer."
They would rather their acts should sink
the South still deeper in woe than that i.
should be made 70 prosper under Repub-
lican .ule--under the direction of such
men as President Grant, Matt Carpenter,

ANOTHER SALE OF GENERAL FUNDS

A second sale of the cash in the general
funds will be made on Tuesday next by
Messrs. Van Solinger & Carpenter, auc-
tioneers. The bids will be taken for
sums Of two hundred and fifty dollars,
with the privilege oftaking two thousand.
Mr. Clinton does not state the amount
that will be offered FIR sale, but it is evi-
dent from these reduced figures that there
is not much. Probably half Of heamount
let out On The previous occasion is as
much as can be expected. There. must be
small amount Of cash to the credit Of
warra hts drawn prior 20 January, 1873,
and sale in that series may be looked
for soon. There is better rrcspec. for
next month. The collections for August
will probably greatly exceed those for
July, as the aid Of the courts has been
in voked, and writs are passing around in
very lively manner. We sincerely trust
that such will be the case. as we are salts
fed that one or two hundred thousand
dollars in aid Of the general fund at this
time would very nearly bring warrants up
to par.

The Times thinks tha: Mr.. Lircoln's
views in 1864 Of what was tight in 1ouisi-
ana then somewha: different from the
views now entertained at Washington.
And we can see nothing strange in this.
consi dering what has taken place since.
The Efforts that President Lincoln was
then making. to concilia.e the ''respecta-
bic citizens Of Louisiana. were the result
Of feeling then generally entertained by
the American people. But the ''1especta-
be- people Of Louisiana and the South
spur ned Cancellation, and the kind dispo-
sition President Lincoln exhibited toward
them was worse than thrown away. His
anxiety to restore peace TO the country
led the very class Of people whom he
wish ed TO conciliate to misconstrue his
motives. They chose to believe that the
kindly spirit exhibited by the President
from time TO time toward the Southern
people during the rebellion was ins:igated
by fear rather than kindness. This in
spired them with spirit of boldness that
eliminated in the assassination of
the very man whose views in 1864
are now paraded before the people to
show that the course pursued in Louisi-
ana by the present authorities at Wash
ington is wrong. We admit that the
views Of the Republican party and Presi-
dent Lincoln in 1864 are widely different
from the views Of the Republican party
and President Grant 1t the present time.
Bu. We Go not sdmi: this proves
that the course pursued by Presi-
dent Grant in Louisiana affairs is wrong.
The government. like the old man in the |
spelling-book, found tha. mild measures
would not redress the wrongs 4hat rebel
lion had forced upon the people. It was.
therefore, compelled TO resort to more es-
fective measures. By producing now the
letter that Mr.. Lincoln wrote to General
G. F. Snepley in 1864 in regard to Louisi-
ana affairs, the Times clearly establishes
that though the policy Of the government
has been to conciliate the South, it has
been compelled. in defense Of law and
order. to adopt sterng measures.
