About the tine ring Of New Orleans
spectators in contraband cotton were
establishing an organ in the Chase inter-
est, General Grant, at the head Of the
army of the Southwest, had under his
control wealth enough to satisfy the
most avaricious. Nearly the whole South.
with hundreds Of thousands Of bales Of
cotton and other tempting commodities,
were at his mercy. He had but to reach
forth his hand to become the richest man
in the United States. But he never
touched dollar. and hence came out Of
the war as poor as when he accepted e
colonelcy from, Governor Yates. His
countryr,en. however, designed to confer
upon him another position. Ee had
reached the highest military hon
ors the nation can confer. and
grateful people called him to the
highest civil Office in their gift. But as
Grant had neglected. while a soldier. to
lay up money. he could not afford at bis
time Of life. he being just in his prime. to
resign his commission in the army, serve
the country as President for four years,
defray the expenses Of the White House
and support his family for the paltry sum
of $4,000 year. the pay terminable with
the Office. 4 few wealthy men saw the
difficulty that was presented. and they i'm
mediately stepped forward. and out Of
their abundance made the hero General
Independent for life. This act of gen.
erosity left Grant tree to act. He had no
longer an excuse to plead for not respond
ing to the call Of the country 70 fill the
presidential chair.
1t has been the custom for a generous
nation to reward its faithful and able men
in all ages. The services Grant rendered
his country We're quite as important as
those Of the Duke CT Wellington tor
England, ye: the endowments voted the
latter. by the British Parliamen:
amounted to about one hundred times
more than all that Gran: has received
either by subscription Of friends or By
way Of salary.
But some 0: the services rendered by
Grant were not acceptable to the founders
OF the Tines and that paper has betrayed.
from time to time the existence Of a
chronic hostility to him ever since the
war. He no: only discouraged cotton
speculation. but put an end to the war.
which broke up the business altogether.
The great fall in the price of cotton in
1865. took the i'll gotten gains Of our
cotton ring, and left them poor as they
were before the war. For this disaster.
the blame is laid upon the grea: scourge
of the rebellion.

ETsTTEsS IMPLICATION.

st. Louis has had small epidemic o:
failures in the provision trade. Nash
vile has suspicious CT cholera. Il the
pest had occurred in New Orleans they
would have been seized on and sen. to the
New York Sra. and Louisville Courier
Journal as evidence Of the virus brought
on the city by the failure Of the Senate 70
confirm the committee report Of Kellogg
and Warroth. # the cholera should ap-
pear it would be set down as sympa-
thetic consequence Of the moral relay
alton caused by radical nisrule. The
press of rival cities would have copied and
commented upon the terrible state of op-
preston in New Orleans, and counseled
every pluden: customer 70 buy his
goods somewhere else. The merchants
Of st. Louis and Nashville, how
ever, come together and unite in sup
pressing any unnecessary commercial
scandal. They explain how the hog crop
and the capital invested in that comm modity
have not been precisely in accord. That
these features were but common cases Of
mercantile mortality, and should by no
means affect the city credit or business.
Now, to do this requires the unifca.ion Q:
business men. Republicans. Conserva
tives, Fusiorists, or what not at the polls,
they are ''sons Of st. Louis on the Ex-
change, and while they go to different
churches and vote on different tickets.
they all unite like brothers when the we,-
fare of the city is at stake. This is what
we have chosen to call business unifca-
ton, ard while we approve the proposed
unifcation Of the races for the sake Of
public peace, we suggest the social unfit
cation Of all men. Of all parties, for the
sake Of the business welfare Of our city.

TWO WAYS OF LAUGHING.

On the evening after the case ofHawkins
vs.. the Pioayne. was given to the jury.
the peoples organ laughed in this manner:
The Jury in the Hawkins libel suit is
understood 20 stand as follows: two for the
defendants: eight TO give Hawkins a yer.
dict of one dollar for his damages; and
two to give him tive hundred dollars
damages.
This is about as near to the mark as the
Picaynn: guesses will average. taking
them the year through. By Sunday morn
ing the Piccyune had the news. It did not
laugh quite as heartily as at first:
Two or three OF the Jurors were a. frs.
unwilling to be made the instruments of
this extortion and robbery. Six CT them,
ignorant colored msn, and two white men.
drivers on Peter kaiser's Magazine street
railroad, one Of whom was the foreman,
selected by Lynch, were at the outset in
favor OF heavy damages; one by one the
others yielded, through threats and tempta-
tion and fear of imprisonment. These spe-
cial friends of Hawkins on the jury at first
held out for $4,000. but on the resistance

TEACHERS IN NORTH LOUISIANA.

We earnestly hope some philanthropist
will send a copy Of primary history to the
editors Of the Ouachta Telegraph and the
Claiborne ..duocCt.. The first named.
more modest than usual, relies upon his
Claiborne neighbor for historical informa-
ton. Both agree fully in supposing the
REpUBLIcAN to be wrong. The following
is from the telegram Of the twenty-frst:
TURNING AN EDITORS FLANK.
The literary pride of the State organ of
usurpation is thus pricked by the Claiborne
.!GcOcGte:
The historical allpsions ct' the New Or
leans REPUBLICAN are as incorrect as their
political theories. II was Henry ". of
France, not Henry Ill, who was stabbed
by an assassin, and the first OF the Bour-
bons, so far from taking part in the Bar
thOlOmew massacre, rarrowl J escaped being
shot himself.
Now. if these gentlemen do not happen
know that Henry IL. King of France,
was fatally stabbed by Jacques Clement
on the first Of August, 1883, and died the
next day, i. is not our fault. It becomes
our duty, however, to inform our Bour-
bons that Henry III. was not Bourbon
at all, bu. the brother of Charles X, who.
with his mother, Catharine de Medici. in
stigated the massacre Of st. Bartholomew.
It is true, Henry ~. was murdered by
an assassin named Rayaillac, but this oc-
cured on the fourteenth Of May. 1910,
nearly twenty-one years after the death of
his kinsman and predecessor. The Re-
PUBLICAN referred to the case of Henry III.
When we wish to speak Of any other his
torical event We shall, as usual. make use
Of the correct names. IN the meantime,
gentlemen in the country, review your his
tories. 1t presen: you appear TO know
Just enough to misCuote.

The testimony and documents are ex
pected to establish the fallacy OF the belief
in the existence of an open Polar sea at the
latitude which both Kane and Hayes, and
even Hall himself affirmed, and will show
that the two men who, in previons expe-
dition, declared that from height to
which they had attained with dogs and
sledges they could plainly see an open
ocean, were either deceived or purposely
misrepresented the matter with unworthy
motives. One of these men accompanied
Captain Hall in his last expedition. 1t is
said that Captain Hall admits in one OF MS
letters that he was previously mistaken IN

SECUNDUM ARTEM.

The New York SUI, having occasion &c
denounce Hon. Speaker Blaine for alleged
corrupt completely in various lucrative
Jobs, does so in al article which may be
studied with advantage by all such as
may wish to learn the science Of irrespon-
sible slarder. Here is the way the Sl:1
puts it:
He entered Congress zen years ago, poor
and dependent on the pay for a living. He
has received no legacy in the meantime,
nor engaged in any regular pursuit, and
vet Mr. Blaine is now a millionaire. These
two facts are inconsistent with integrity.
and there can be no stronger comment than
one makes upon the other.
The resolution adopted in the House to
authorize an inquiry into the charge O,
bribery against members is regarded by
the Sun as intended to screen Mr.. Blaine
from any exposure in that connection:
The technical limitation of bribery was
put in to prevent any explorations beyond
that legal boundary, and the committee
used that fact as a reason for excusing
their half verdict in regard to the members
upon whom moral bribery and p0Sitire per.
jary had been proved. They held the latter
crime to be excluded from the scope OF the
investigation.
In arranging this programme Mr.. Blaine
had two objects-one to relieve himself
from general suspicion Of venality, and
the other to whitewash his party.
Here is an imputation OF bribery and
abuse Of official position without the use
Of one tangible term which could bring
the proprietor of the S,u. before a jury 70,
libel. Parties desiring to pursue these
ibelous ways with elegant irpunity are
commended to the columns Of the New

DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF UNIFICAT10N.

directors Of the P:coya:e have decided to

Marks, Ingraham L Co. in their lauaable
efforts. But the late Jury will have bad
effect on the peoples organ. That was a

organ Of the new movement eighteen thou
sand dollars for little license INDUCED
