who, It is to be supposed, hold themselves
at q much higher price than common
Congressman. The contractor under the
canal bill is unknown. The work is to be
given to the lowest responsible bidder,
SO that it can not be foreseen who will get
the job, and therefore no one will pay out
money on contingent profits. The con-
tractor Eads might have had something
more substantial to work on, as the de-
feated bill would have been a personal
grant to him. We told some days since
of a candidate who had brought cask of
free cider to the election, intended to in
spire his friends. Finding his own election
hopeless he had driven in the spiggot, cut
it relentlessly off close to the heading,
and sent it home. We presume that after
Mr.. Ead's bill has been reported by a
majority Of the committee, and defeated
by minority substitute, he will invest no
more money in any appliances of legisla-
ton, SO any corrupt or rapacious Sena-
tors-if there be such an anomaly-will
find no bidders on either side. The
friends Of the canal have no money. The
man of millions has driven in the spiggot.
Whether from the fatigue of the conflict or
the despair of defeat, our antagonist, the St.
Louis Democrat, comes to US in state of
typographical decentralization. The paper
is cheap and mean. The advertisements
are chiefly posters in large type and wood
cuts. The editorials are feeble and spite
full. We apprehend that, disguised with
this corrupt world, it VII quietly stretch
out its legs and pass away. Among the
most sincere condolers who will Grape
themselves on that sad occasion we desire
to be enrolled. To the unrf .sonable in
tolerance and absurd charges Of the st.
Louis Democrat we attribute in good part
the necessity of development which has
filed the Union with an appreciation of
the commerce aud agriculture of New
Orleans.

tion, has never been vefy successful, even
in this conading city, where enthusiasm
and false sentiment have more influence

The REPUBLICAN assures the Picayune,
and all concerned, that it does not want
to start lynching spree. We have never
permitted ourselves to speak lightly or
approvingly of great wrong because it
happened to be directed against the weak
and defenseless, or those in whom we felt
no pecuniary interest We abhor habitual
disregard Of the laws, and extend our
feeling of aversion to those who approve
as well as those who perpetrate crime
We reprobate the system Of making such
distinctions between citizens as disgrace
the columns of our contemporaries nearly
every day in the week. But we are not
able to make ourselves sufficiently persua-
sive to check all the evils we notice.
1t is impossible to effectually check vice
so long as it is patted on the back approx
ingly by unprincipled writer's, who man
age to hnd papers silly enough or wicked
enough to publish their pernicious sugges-
tons. What we can not cure altogether,
then, we prefer to utilize. If there is to
be lynching at all. which we detest, let US
endeavor to divert it from the hapless
prisoners, and apply it to those whom We
can not reach in any other way.
The application the Picayune chooses
to make of our general remarks is quite
gratuitous and comes as near to being a
direct charge against men who have done
nothing to incur reproach as anything we
have seen. We may, however, set it
down as fair inference that those who
would let slip the dogs of vengeance on
the helpless prisoners, safely confined in
Jail, is pledged to stand by other GRIMM
ais who become so in standing by its
friends. This is the sort of loose morali-
ty which has done more to curse the
the South and ruin our young men than
all the bad legislation We have ever had.
To close as we began: The REPUBLICAN
does not wink at violations of the law by
its friends and clamor for the extreme
penalty against those who are not. The
poor wretch who is found drunk and
asleep in the square is an integar of hu-
mainly no less than the gilded scoundrel
who kills his enemy for passion or
avarice, or any other result of defective
moral principle

POLITICAL rREEBoOTFRS.

When the regular camps Of political
warfare are broken up there follows sort
Of organization against ell who have Office.
1t is mongrel band, somewhat between
brigandage and smuggling, and this for.
midable combination has been typifed at
| various times as free lances, buccaneers,
cowboys and guerrillas. We have been
informed upon the best authority that the
Democracy have organized such combi-
nation, and that it will certainly carry
the election in 1875. Here is the attrac-
tive schedule of service which is offered
to recruits who will enlist in this bucca-
neering enterprise. They may vote:
l. For or against the right of secession.
2. For or against tariff.
g.. For or against internal Improvements
by the national government.
4. For or against hard money.
5. For or against allowing colored peo-
pie to vote.
The annals Of the past few years are
filed with evidence that such are the dis
pensations granted to all who will vote the
Democratic ticket. We suppose that
since the day Of the free lapces and buc-
cancers, such a dispensation of faith
never united as many opposites under the
same banner.
When to these very liberal army regula-
tons shall be added the prospective spoils
of successful campaign, We admit it to
be dangerous appeal to the needy and
inscriptions. To the many examples Of
this lax and latitudinous creed we add one
of the most recent
During the recent debate upon the re-
port Of Senator Window, the following
funny episode occurred: Senators Sauls-
bury, Hamilton and Bayard, all Demo-
Gratis of the strict construction school,
denied the power Of Congress to construct
works Of internal improvement. Such
power could not be recognized as prin-
ciple in the Democratic platform. ut
was an insidious step toward committing
this government to great schemes of in
ternal improvement" Such was the
Democracy Of the little old Eastern States
that wanted nothing. Per contra, Sen
ator Bogy wanted ga piece Of the
chicken pie in survey of the Missouri.
He said "the great question Of internal i'm
provement divided at that day the Demo-
cratic party from the Wing party" twas
his pride and pleasure to belong to the
Democratic party then and at present.
He believes that certain conceded powers
in the constitution may be exercised upon
a larger "scale at one period than another"
He appreciates the arguments Of his DEM
ocratic friend, Hamilton, ''from his stand
point not wanting anything. But the
Grangers-these terrible Grangers-want
improvement, so that Bogy, from
his standpoint, will abandon the faith
Of the fathers to save the political balm
of their son. Thus Bogy and Hamilton
will vote on opposites on the principle in
voked, and unite in cordial support of the
Democratic nominee of 1876. Since the
day when Luther charged the Pope with
selling indulgences to violate all the car
dinal principles Of the Church never has
there been such. wide dispensation of
action and opinion granted. But the
boys are very hungry.

Says the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher IN
the Christian Union: "It is not easy to re-
alize that religion is losing its hold upon
society, if one but observes the great space
given to reports of religious discourses by
our daily newspapers, and considers, also,
that even fashion has begun to pay tribute
by inventing exquisite praying costumes
for ladies, wherein the fair devotees can
pray to'the Lord and make an elegant ap-
pearance in the sight of man at the seme
time

According to the Bulletin, it is imprope,
to indulge in any game Of amusement O,
mental relaxation Of any kind until the
Grant parish jury bring in their verdict.
After that event, no matter what it may
be, the world can move on as usual. Our
pious contemporary has been greatly
shocked to learn from one Of it's Paul
Prys that Judge Woods and Governor
Kellogg recently so far forgot the solemn
tiles of the occasion as to indulge in a
little game OF setback euchre while the
jury was engaged in overcoming each
others obstinacy. We are by no means
certain that the two gentlemen were thus
engaged, the evidence not being duly
sworn to, and We insist upon it that they
are entitled to jury trial before being
condemned. When We are so scrupulous
about ordinary persons, We think some
chance OF defense should be given the
two distinguished gentlemen who are
thus referred to. There may be statute
to severely punish such levity, though we
can not find it just at this moment.
