A GOOD THING.

Governor Kellogg has performed an
other act for which all will give him
credit, even his political enemies. By a
notice in another column it will be seen
that he has resolved to refuse in all cases,
except when driven to it by order of the
court of last resort-which is very improb-
able-to subscribe in behalf of the State to
stock of certain corporations where au-
thorized to do so by act Of the Legisla-
ture. Also, that he will enter into no
contracts for public improvements au-
thorized by acts of the Legislature hereto
fore. The State has already sacrificed her
credit too many times under this promis-
sorry kind Of Legislation in behalf of non
dividend paying corporations, and we are
heartily glad the Governor has determined
to put stop to it as far as he is con-
cerned. AS for appropriations for improve
ments. they are as a general thing ras-
cally. wicked jobs, infamous in their in
ception and scandalous in their working

a DISAPPOINTMENT,

The teachers were not paid yesterday.
according to expectation. OF course no
one about the City Hall or the School
board either. for that matter, appeared to
care much about it. Possibly the blame
does not rest with them for there not be.
ing money in. the treasury. But some
one is accountable to the public and to us
for causing a positive announcement in
the REpUBLrcAS that the teachers wonld
be paid on the nineteenth. TWAS regard
ed by our reporter as being as good as Of
fetal. and thus this paper was made an
instrument Of deception. The circum-
stance has clipped the wings Of one mans S
credit, SO that when he next comes with a
statement. he will be required to bring a
competent witness along with him.

business of any other good citizen. Mr..
Hart has made no such claim, while, if he
cared straw about it, he would no
doubt be promptly OF hand with his in
functions. Now. we do not wish the City
Counci! to do anything to injure the in
terests Of the Southern Paving Company.
We believe that concern has good claim
against the city. which will finally be paid
like too many Others have been heretofore

son. The city wa, most egregiously
cheated. but the company We're sharp
enough to get their work formally ac-
cepted oy the city engineers, and it will
Certainly have to pay for it.
In the meantime no one is specially in
terestei in having St. Charles avenue
closed against travel. The public wants
it open. Mr.. E. !! Hart. as 4 citizen, does
not desire to see it closed. As president

pUted claim. against the city. growing out
Of the pavement on that street. he does
not care anything about it. The livery

times. We do not know Of anybody who
desires to have the nuisance remain. and

has already been one very serious affair on
the question whose duty it was to look
over the back files of a newspaper, and we
do not choose to place ourselves in that
fix. We respectfully decline to show why
the Times, belonging to the "Noblesse, is
''obliged' to keep it's mouth shut. and
why it is not responsible for its part of the
abuses to which it has referred.
We wrote the other day upon the -e-
sponsibilities of the press, and explained
how it was that the journal Of to-day was
held responsible for the acts of the same
journal in its past. We admit it to be
hard, very hard. Yet our neighbor will
find itself in the situation of the ''Tic.zet-
of-Leave Man" As this piece is put upon
the stage it represents convict. whose
good conduct has obtained for him a re-
mission Of his term Of imprisonment lie
seeks employment and demonstrates the
| utmost fidelity. But so SOON as his en-
ployers discover what be has been. they
Immediately dismiss him. So that he
| comes nearly to starvation with the
most homes. and sincere intentions
of reform. Now we confde entirely in the
honest reform of our contemporary. We
believe it sincerely regrets the very W.
profitable course pursued by it in the
past years. But such is the injustice Of
mankind that the Times will be for q long
time regarded as the "Ticlet-ot-Leave
Man" was. The public will withhold its
confidence until events shall have proved
that the Times of 1873 is not the flush
1;i.es of 1870. We are satisfied with Its
sincerity, and no doubt 1.-The world. which
rarely errs. will il due time come to the
same conclusion In the meantime. if
our neighbor would "unburden itself and
defend itself i: would expedite the con-
yIctjOn.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS,

The attempt to remind our people that
business should not be neglected for pol
itics has stirred up the bile of Demo-
cratic writers. They seem to forget that,
though it becomes the duty of all living
under a popular form OF government to
give some attention to politics. it is also
their duty to engage in some business
that will aid in promoting not only their
individual welfare. but the prosperity Of
the State and nation. The REPU BLICA AN has
been endeavoring. for the past five or six
years. to convince the people Ct Louisi-
ana that they were giving too
much attention 10 politics and too
little to business Of tar greater
importance. The fact of being free
and living under a popular form Of gov
ernment should stimulate people to the
pursuit of useful occupations that would
tend to give them the means OF true and
lasting independence. There are immune
rable pursuits to be followed in this coun-
try that-if followed well-will lead to
individual wealth: and this in the aggre-
gate is what forms the wealth of the nation
And nowhere in the vast domain Of our
country is labor, well and diligently pur-
sued, better rewarded than in Louisiana.
Here agriculture, the mechanic arts, man
ufactures, commerce, and, in fact, all
kinds of business may be said to be
susceptible Of being made to produce
greater reward to labor than in the New
England and Northern and Western States
of the Union, whence the nation now

THE TINES OF 1873.

Our neighbor of the Times. supremelv

1870" to the department Of Houstabou..
The REPUBLICAN advocates y reform OF
men and management because it is salts
fed that the political action Of 1870
was wron; and ruinous. 1t has shown
tha: without the cooperation Of the
Democratic city administration and leg;s-
lation. and the aid of Democratic inco.-
porated capital those abuses could not
have bee:. perpetuated. Our neighbor OF
the Tine. then uses the following srig-
matica. language:
Certain obligations, which mav ',e sum.

always prevent any explanation from us:
but that obsolete idea can't possibly apply
to progressive folks like you. and you
might as well unburden yourself. Positive
ly, it won't hurt the Times OF 1873; as you
very well know.
Now. wha. seals the lips of our neigh
Dor: What is the application Of those
two French words? In what does the
Times of 1873 differ from the ''hush''
Times OF 1870? 1t would seem tina: We
are to have a new Times for every phase
of public affairs. And that sit goes into
a journalistic liquidation which discharges
it of every antecedent liability Of opinion. .
Our contemporary, like the ''the ghost in
gimlet," seems troubled with vindica-
ton which it breads to disclose. So it
asks US to explain ,rhy the Times of 1873
is not responsible for the Times Of 1870:
We can not take that responsibility. There
