he performed work under contract, the
terms of which guaranteed him full pay
ment. But he learned practically that
the sovereign State of Louisiana was too
weak to fulfill her engagements. and
that the ''untarnished honor. which the
Picayune is so fond Of prating about is an
empty cheat. We hope the solid old cor
poration that owns the Picaymne Will be
prepared to pay Judge Hawkins little
claim of eighteen thousand dollars as soon
as Judgment is obtained in the Supreme
Court. and thus not only relieve its sure
ties from anxiety, but at the same time
Sc: the State an example Of honesty. This
reminds as tha. the directors Of the

respondents libel public officers. But the

MARKS, THE PIONEER.

Mr.. I. n. Marks entered into the unif-
cation movement with great deal Of
energy and determination. He is one of
those positive characters who infuse
vigor into every cause they espouse; and
this same determination of character.
which is his ruling trait, makes him rest
i've and fretful because others in the COM
munity do not view events from his own
high standpoint. Very keen in his own
perceptions, he is too apt to blame and
denounce blindness in others. This i'm
pulsiveness led him the other day into
the use. in letter which he published in
the columns of contemporary. Of re-
marks indicating altogether too petulant
spirit. He seems to forget how
slowly public sentiment in this
community works itself up to new
departures in behalf Of any cause. no
matter how righteous. While be realizes.
and justly. that the principles of unifca-
tion--or Republicanism. for it is one and
the same thing-must il the end be &C.
cepted, and that refusal to accept them
only interrupts and defers the political
and material prosperity Of our people, he
should recollect that the work Of the re-
former is a slow and tedious one. While
it is clear to him that those who refuse to
adopt the cardinal principles set forth in
the unifcation manifesto are committing
a grievous wrong upon themselves, he
should understand that it does not be-
hoove him to try to lash them into sub
mission. Absolute and untrammeled
freedom of opinion is the right we all
claim and will fight for, for others as well
as ourselves. as long as that right is held
within such bounds as to wrong 10 other
We welcome Mr.. Marks as worthy
auxiliary in the cause Of true Republican
ism. He is a sturdy laborer in some
what forbidding field. Let Him be pa
tient, therefore. and FIRM. Grand vel
comes and enthusiastic receptions are not
often accorded to pioneers. He must ex-
pect contume!y at times, and nisconst-uc-
ton from those too narrow-minded to
apprehend the greatness Of the work or
too short-sighted to see that the general
application of the principles Of equality
is only question Of time.

covered, and by some unaccountable over
sight admitted, that fraud has no poll
tics. Speaking of the sale of Fort Smell
ing and the adjacent lands in the forks of
the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers by a
Cabinet officer under the Democratic ad-
ministration of Mr.. Buchanan, it says:
So the way is prepared by Democratic
politicians under Mr.. Buchanan's admins
tration, and the job is cOnsummated with
the presumable assistance of Republican
politicians under General Grants admins
| tratiOn.
The Fort Smelling case. as stated. is given
| as an illustration OF the cooperative princl-
pie between the two existing political par
ties, which makes corruption thoroughly
! practicable.
1t is also a sample Of the readiness with
which the corruprionists OF beth the Demo
| cratic and Republican parties strike hands
when ''there is money in it The Credit
MObilier was an instance Of this. Mr..
! Brooks was as necessary to Oakes Ames u
Co. IS Mr.. Colfax or Senator Patterson
The salary grab WAS another instance OF
| it. Party lines were no longer distinct
| when both Democratic and Republican
politicians saw an opportunity to put money
in their purses. The fierce controversy that

tons is mainly 1nfne9 to the 1eGd corpse Of

but they fall like an aeroite from q
journa, that Las claimed all virtue fer
the men of one party. while it has heaped
obloeuy upon ali men of the other. Let
US see whether the writer Of that article
will no: be required by the board Of direc-
tors to recant or resign. If this line shall
be sustained we may anticipate ''moder-
ate gales" and favorable voyage for the
peoples craft to he end Of its chart. We
might add perhaps its appeal to the JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court. tribunal
which it has heretofore impugned as un-
worthy of respect. We sincerely trust
''the lamp may hold out to burn until
the organ of reform will breathe peace
and good will to all honest people with
out respect to past color or condition.
New Orleans Republican., 1873-07-24

The Picayune. with its customary igno-
rance Of facts, to put the most charitable
construction upon it. alludes to the act Of
the last Legislature wherein an appropria-
ton of twenty thousand dollars is made
to supply deficiencies in the former ap-
propriations for the State Printer, as al
most verbatim copy Of the act OF 1870,
which appropriated some fifty thousand
dollars to J. o. Nixon to make up loss
by discoun: suffered by him. Now. We
assure our contemporary that there was q
wide difference between the two cases.
The twenty thousand dollars appropriated
to pay the State Printer was for work ac-
tually performed a: the rate allowed by
law without any reference to loss by dis
count. The fac: is, work was performed
by the State Printer worth an amount far
in excess OF the appropriation made.
which was only in part payment
therefor. At the end Of the extra session Of
December. 1872, We had advanced to the
State credit Of more than sixty thousand
dollars for materials and work. We have
never submitted q claim fo- account of
loss from. discounts on State warrants,
though We have suffered to trightful ex-
tent in this way. 1t is moreover by 10
means so clear that Colonel Nixon has not
an equitable claim asaiDs. the State, !or
