FROM DURANT.

The temperance question has en-
listed considerable interest OF late In
this community, aud is still the most
general theme Of discussion. This
anxiety eliminated last week in q
genuine indignation meeting by the
ladies, which resulted In visit OF
some twenty or twenty-five of their
number to the saloon Of +. McElroy,
on Tuesday evening. 1t Is said that
after receiving his visitors the pro-
prietor protfefed the civilities OF his
establishment, by proposing to treat
to the beer. but they declined aud
some of them. whose husbands were
then IN the room. replied that -four
aud coal would be more fitting tokens
Of Mr.. Mes regard and of their
necessities. 1t is stated that an at
tempt was made to drive the ladies out
with tobacco smoke, but in other re-
spects they were not treated uncivilly.
After warning the proprietor not to
sell again to the husbands and sous OF
several women in heparty, on pain OF
prosecution, and obtaining his promise
to comply with their request, the COM
pany retired to their homes, having
enjoyed for about an hour and half
the enticing influence of saloon life.
What the result Of this visit will be
is not now apparent, but from the fact
that several young men and boys Of
our town, are being drawn habitually,
inlo this saloon, and that some men
are wasting there the means which
their families require, much solicitude
has been awakened, and no doubt
there is determination to check the
business in some degree. If possible.
The ladies are now circulating q petit
ton, which IL being signed quite gem
orally, requesting those now selling in
toxieating drinks to comply with tile
laws, and rot to sell to minors or
drunkards.

We named two republics. 1t is not i'm
probable We might have added those of
Switzerland and Holland. Not impossibly
cur own republic was fought for and
founded by majority Of white people
who could neither read nor write.
The rejoinder of the Pic admits our
answer to be correct, but accounts for the
maintenance of the Roman republic by
the alleged fact that the masses did not
know how to read or write at that day,
and that ''the printing press was not then
in existence Then republic did exist
with a majority OF illiterate ''people. "
Consequently it is not indispensable to
the maintenance Of republic that ma
jority Of the people should be able to read
and write, which is the proposition
maintained by u.s.

1t is not right that society should lose the
force of all its intellect for the want of
education. Universal suffrage and uni
yersal education 60 hand in hand, and
ultimately they will be united. But to
make the exercise of right, sacred and
indispensable, to depend upon personal
qualification which is far from being in
itself protective of popular rights is de-
parture from every principle Of freedom
and equality. We have in mind one sig
nal instance in which the ability to
make signature was by no means safe
guard Of the public interest. 1t was
when the signature Of the State was af-
fixed to certain bonds, since designated
as "tainted and fraudulent" The skill
Of this chirography was such that the feat
was performed while the cars were moving
at the rate of eighteen or twenty miles an
hour. Now, upon the Picayune test the
honest brakesman upon that car earning,
at the risk OF his limbs, fifty or sixty
cents day, might have been turned from
the polls because he could not write his
own name, while the passenger who had
been busy writing the name Of the State
upon unfounded obligations would have
passed the commissioners in triumph.
The day has gone by for class legislation
in America. There will be no patricians
Of the pen and ink. The benefit Of clergy
will never recur again.
Never will the admiration OF the world
for that most ordinary evidence of scholar
ship-writing ones own rame-be accept
ed from one offender as valid plea on an
indictment, while his accomplice gaily
yubscribes his name and so in considera-
Of his learning, escapes. We know it will
shock the Picayuae's admiration for mon
,rchy and aristocracy, but we will hazard
he suggestion that larger proportion of
he blacks in the Southern States can now
:ead and write than Of the barons and |
heir retainers in the days Of chivalry. |
And yet that ancient, illi!erate and oppres-
i've form of government may have been,

SLATE PENCIL SUFFRAGE.

The Ptcayne thus challenges the Re-
PUBLICAN: ''Does it hold that a suffrage
enjoyed by people or class, large ma
jortty of which can not read or write, is
safe Or proper cne-that republic can
be maintained On such basis:"
This rather broken-kneed sentence
seemed to stumble into an inquiry whether
a republic could be maintained in which
majority OF "a class of citizens could
not read or writer" To this we replied
that if the "class" was small it undoubt-
edly might. To the inquiry whether
republic could be maintained in which a
majority Of the people could neither read
nor write, we replied that Rome and
Greece were republics and maintained
this form Of government for four or FIVE
centuries. OF the ''ierce democracies that
fulmined over Greece" the PIC is silent,
but enlightens US as to Rome, thus:
The Republic Of Rome, as it is styled,
was an aristocracy governed by chiefs.
Seeing that the practice and term of
suffrage prevailed in both those republics,
the idea Of Gan aristocracy governed by
chiefs, y instead of those grand old repub-
lies with their public assemblies, shows
that the writer had never read Plutareh,
Livy or Tacitus, or supposed his readers
never had. Il, however, the language of
these authors is inaccessible, Shakespeare
has told in our mother tongue how
Coriolanus stood to ask the Roman people |
to ''giye their suffrage" for the consulate.
Where they were not ''to stay all together,
but to come to him where he stands by |
ones, by twos and threes." Every one of |

COMPARATIVE REcuPERATIVE POWERS.

"To remind one Of favor voluntarily
! conferred, is to cancel the obligation -
This old saying must have been absent
from Mr.. Marks mind when be penned
that note to Mayor Wilt to inquire how
much money Chicago had contributed to
support the great charity Of this State.
We regret that such an inquiry should
have been made by any citizen of New
Orleans; but the principal error, in our
judgment, consisted in making the cor
respondence public.
Less than three years ago Chicago was
devastated by great fire, just as the cold
season was coming on. The losses were
estimated high UP in the millions. When
the news Of the calamity was spread
abroad, generous contributions were raised
in various parts Of the country and the
money sent to the mayor. Among others,
New Orleans SO far forgot her own troubles
as to send thirty thousand dollars. This
was not a large sum, but it was, We be-
ieve, freely given, not placed as loan,
to be Withdrawn whenever the donors de-
sired to aid other unfortunate localities.
Chicago can not be said to be indebted to
New Orleans to the amount named in Mr..
Marks letter. Certainly it IS not becom-
ing in US to allege such claim, or to scan
the hberality Of city which SO recently
was destroyed. Chicago suffered heavier
loss during that dreadful season of fire than
this entire State did during the four years
of war. We have had ten years Of propi-
tious seasons in which to recuperate.
Chicago has had but little more than two.
And yet she is expected to stand ready,
not only to reimburse New Orleans its
thirty thousand dollars on sight, but to
be on the look out for distress generally,
and pay the money over to our credit.
Our own poverty is marshaled in the fore
ground Of this picture, not reprovingly
tor having let so much time elapse with so
little improvement, but to magnify the
of small contribution sent
to another afflicted city two years ago.
Doubtless Chicago has added more to her
wealth in the two years that have elapsed
since the fire than New Orleans has to
hers in the ten since the war; but it is not
a matter to be introduced as reason for
or against the exercise of charity or the
voluntary exchange Of good Offices. This
may be taken by persons who do not fully
understand our people for ostentation in
stead of charity.

Having shown the financial and fiscal
value Of this region, we will now address
/. The manufacturing and mercantile in
terests. We may safely say that the whole
Of our cotton and sugar money is expend-
ed in either foreign or domestic products
On this subject figures are almost IN
necessary. Almost everything consumed
in the cotton and sugar region is import
ed. From pin to a piano our fabrics
are made abroad. Planters and laborers
are alike dependent Perhaps the best
evidence of this dependence is to be
found in the fact that the premium Of ex-
change is always at the end Of the ship
ping season little against US. Referring
only to the SIS, 0Oo, 600, 600 Of manufactures

statistics:

This displays a commerce very impor-
tant to the ship building interest. It
shows also the extent to which foreign
shipping interest has succeeded in invad-
ing our domestic commerce.
We have omitted the river navigation
interest as being already the earnest and
active advocate Of the levee reparation,
and requiring no other argument than
their own knowledge to convince their
representatives of its value.
3. Western provisions. There remains in
the category of domestic interests to be
advanced by the work advocated, the
Western provision trade. Writers on the
philosophy of agriculture may say what
they will, but the planter will always
prefer to put hired labor into that which
will bring him most money. We give the
evidence that the cotton and sugar plant
ers do consume largely Of Western provi-
sions, not to mention the Western manu-.
features which they also purchase. The
following are the quantities of some West
ern products received at New Orleans in

2. The shipping interest and other CON-
mon carriers. The extent to which the
railroad system must participate in the
development the home market needs but
reference. The mail, merchandise and
passengers, all the more precious and
portable commodities which pass to and
from the developed region will pay glad
tribute to the rail and river. But the
shipping interest Of New York, Massa-
chusetts and Maine has suffered greatly
from the competition Of foreign tonnage,
and nothing helps a ship SO much as to
load out from home with domestic pro-
duets. We give then to the ship owners
Of the East the freights which the crop Of
this region exported from New Orleans.
It must be definitely understood that the
coastwise or foreign export Of Western
provisions scarcely enters into the esti-
mate.
