OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE.

Judge Spofford. who pretends to repre-
sent our people while denouncing the gov
ern ment of their choice is. we are in.
for med, resident of Tennessee, and has
been for the past three years. His former
law partner, J. A. Campbell, Esq. whose
efo IT'S at Washington in the same cause
came to naught, is put down as a resident
of Baltimore. An inspection of theyreg-
istration lists will not show any grea:
interest that they feel in the affairs OF
this. State on election days.
The people are getting very tired of
foreign Intervention of this sort. which

these deplorab!e results. Such worthy.

as Messrs. Henry Shepherd, Moses Green

and others. represent the rea! sentiments
and wishes Of this community. and they
may be daily found in the legislative
halls, laboring. il earnes. conjunction
with Governor Kellogg. to secure the pas

In the meantime We hope his modesty will

THAT STUMBLING BLOCK.

Colonel Manning, Of Rapides parish
who is one of the most intelligent Demo
Gratis in the State, and one who would not
we believe, misrepresent any case he at
tempted to state for the purpose of illus
trating it-that IS, willfully-feu into the
error Of orators Of smaller calibre at the
Exposition Hall meeting. He was dis
cussing the everlasting equality business
in treating or stating which be is reported
to have said:
a'or the present and the future the pol
icy would be to insist on the supremacy
Of the white race in the government of the
State. The doctrine of negro equality, as
taught, he deemed utterly inadmissible. II
was claimed for that race, he said, that
there should be political, social. moral and
intellectual equality.
4 supremacy, if it exist. need not be in.
sist ed upon. It will obey the natura al
law and assert itself. 1t requires no ex-
tran eous aid from the law. and certainly
ought not to be restrained by a statute.
On the race-track Of life the entrance
sh ould be free. One man should not be
b handicapped and another permitted to
run light. And the gentleman is mistaken
if be supposes there is anything in the
principles Of the Republican party which
attempts 10 regulate OF define the intellec.
tn al capacities of men or races. We
presume every man to be the equal ofevery
OF her. socially, physically. intellectually
q nd morally. until competitive examina-
ii on settles the question adversely. Such
a thing as entire intellectual equality is
ne arly impossible. Men differ from each
other even in the same family. But we
in sist upon the right of every man to a
chance. and if he wins position, he ought
to be protected in its enjoyment. As for
ocial equality, it is a matter which no
laws can control. It is matter purely Of
individual taste.
If Colonel Manning excels all others in
any virtue or excellence. his merits will
be voluntarily recognized. unless statute
be passed to debar him from the right of
competition with his fellow men. This,
We insist upon. shall not be done,
either against him Or anybody else. There
is nothing mysterious in Republican
ten cts. Our doctrine is to recognize
merit wherever we find it, and give every
N an chance to show what he is made of.
Str ong and gifted men like Colonel Man
ming can surely have no fear Of entering
into such a competition.

lions between cAnceling at our ownwill
and reputation. We apprehend it will
be pretty much the same to the creditor.
The Picayne abandons its former ground,
that the reduction of the public debt can
only be made with the assent of the bond
holders. It comedies the principle that
inability to pay constitutes the highest
and, perhaps, the only reason for non
payment Of the face of our obligations.
We open our eyes with gratifed as
constituent when we read: "We have not
heard of any one who proposed that the
State should recognize or pay any such
debts" and subscribe cordially to this
doctrine: ''It is only such debts as are
binding in law, in equity and in honor
that the State ought to pay" And then
comes the great acknowledgment that in
ability to pay debt is process of volun..
tary bankruptcy which State, like an in
divi dual, may avail itself Of:
And even to pay these the people ought
not to be impoverished and the State de-
vastated, as will be its condition under such
a rate of taxation as was enforced the last
year.
The argument in support Of this admis-
sion is worthy of quotation:
There can be no recuperation and rescue
from our present poverty under such rate.
1t is far better for our creditors, as well as
for our own preservation, that even if they
have to wait for their interest and princi-
pal, that we should not exhaust our means,
consume our seed corn, paralyze our pro-
ductive capacity by a rate of taxation
which produces and prolongs the present
condition Of property and industry in the
State.
The Picayasae, in acknowledging can
didly the value of legislative action, and
supporting the measures proposed, has
"come down to its work." and is, for the
first time, 'trotting square" in harness.
We can not help remarking. that if it
had conformed to the example and admo.
nitions of the REPUBLICAN, many months
ago. it might have been better for itself
and that ''portion Of the people" Of which
it has claimed to be the organ.

The anti-educational party in South
Carolina complain that the State spends
more money in one year now for public
printing, than it did for the sixty imme-
diately preceding the war. We supposed
from the prevalent ignorance in that State
few years ago that nothing was spent
in the way Of education. If the gentlemen
are disconnected with the present ex-
pense, let them say so. bu: We adv Use
them to avoid comparisons Of the kind.
If the old siaveocracy kept their proceed
ings from the public. they comm tilted a
greater outrage than their successors are
guilty Of, even though they do charge
