WITH AN EYE TO THE NICKELs.

We had apprehe nded that with the OBJ
structions to the cars and soda shops and
the unbroken yell Of extra" --latest EXTRA
which prevailed for some days. that there
would have been congestion Of nickels
in the treasury Of our sensation contem-
poraries. The competition for the organ
ship of the new government must have
been intense, since those journals did not
content themselves with the most inham-
matory articles and extr avagant headings.
but pitched into each other in the most
violent manner. While the State was
trembling between anarchy and military
camp the most active measures were
taken to encourage the dissemination
OF events and the accumulation Of
nickels received in exchange. 1t at
last dwindled in one case to an extra about
the size Of greenb ack. Which journal
has been the champ ion collector of this
dimunitive national coin will, no doubt.
be published in due time. /: will be
quite a triumph over the less sensational
sheets. "The largest number Of nickels
ever received by any Southern paper in
one day" may supersede 1.-THE largest cir.
culation in the Sout Invest"
We should regret if the anxiety to re.
plenish the Golfers Of our journals shall
have made them IN any instance seek
rather to excite people to deeds of blood
and purchase Of papers. than to seel: to
moderate the passions and instruct the
masses unconscious Of the consequences
which grow out Of political disorder.
The saturnalia OF the newsboys is over,
hundreds have gone back to the hunger
and misery which no revolution can at
once relieve. The time has come for the
restoration Of peace and business. Can
not our contemporaries who have
no longer the FIRE OF rivalry in
their eyes, and who are far more inter.
ested in the larger commerce Of the city
lend their influence to this important
object:
A commercial city can not live by poll
hes alone. The business season is on us,
We have powerful commercial rivals. We
need more population and more capital, |
more enterprise. Will our contemporaries
mite in referring political questions to

A FAIR ELECTION.

II perfect fairness in the approaching
election IS the chief object of the commit
tee that met some of our prominent Re-
pubhcans in conference recently at the
Customhouse, We think they can have
their wishes realized without undue ex-
ertons on their part. We believe every
Republican in the State is pledged to use
his best endeavors to secure perfect fair
ness in the contest. We have nothing to
fear in contest where every man
viii have the right to vote and have
his vote made effective for the can.

VI ALL OVNSoVO0NO00S
Now are threats brought in to exc on:
the i'll success Of the coup daat. Bar
room broils are promised. but as Repub-
leans are not special patrons Of rum
mills, small fear is entertained.
That man shall not live here because
he is Republican is not clearly defined,
and the law Of Introduction will scarcely
be enforced. The spirit Of thuggery
doubtless remains. but its power is para.
lyzed and its venom suppressed. The
men who openly took part in the conflict
of the fourteenth instant against the legal
government are not Of the class that
would assail individual members Of the
administration.
We throw out these remarks to the
thoughtful and sensible men of the oppo-
sition; with drunken brawlers reasoning
would be useless.
The immortal bard has truthfully set
forth the assassin's arguments and hopes;
he has also portrayed the direful conse-
4uences.

GOVERNOR KEILoee's POSITION.

' 1t is due. perhaps. to our telegraphic
friends who criticise the position assumed
by Governor Kellogg on the fourteenth.
to explain the case to them. Being alb
sent from the city at the time. they were
not, perhaps. so we'll fitted by knowledge
Of what was transporting here as some
others Of his friends who were on the
spot.
1t was understood here that one great
object aimed at by the opposition was to
obtain possession Of the Governors per-
son. when he would have been placed
under such close surveillance that he
would be unable to communicate with
President Grant. As consequence, no
demand could be made on the United
States for assistance in the form required
by the constitution. Our opponents are
strict constructionists of all the clauses of
the constitution which favor their wishes.
They make up in devotion to certain arti-
cles Of that instrum ent for their total
neglect ofmany others. The right to peace
ably assemble with arms. and the right
Of the people to bear arms. are insisted
upon every day in the year. while the
guarantees Of personal liberty which per-
wade the whole Of the organic law are
overlooked. OF left to the Re-
publicans to defend and enforce. Upon
Governor Kellogg's personal safety de-
pended the safety for the time being Of
the State government. and the old st.

leans approve Of the Governors move.

friends will soon see the case in the proper

thorites, executed by federal troops as
auxiliary and subordinate to the State
authorities.
There was chance for federal mill
tary government concurrent in some re-
spects with State authority. though prob
ably Independent Of that authority in
others. 1.-THE technical "insurrection" had
not terminated by the date limited in the
proclamation of the President, the ''insur.
rection" against the State would have be.
come ''insurrection" against the federal
government. The continuance or even
the renewal OF the instruction might at
any time induce only federal military gov.
eminent in this State. The consequences
which We published some days ago would
have resulted:
]. Forfeiture to the United States Of
property within the insurrectionary dis
| tricts.
2. The Presiden. might close our port
by proclamation.
3. The blockade and in.erdict Of com.
mercial intercourse between Louisiana
and all other parts Of tie United States.
There are other personal penalties
seperadded. But the Secretary Of the
Treasury with the aid of few gunboats
might. under this law. make such COM
mercial and industrial embarrassment in
our city. as the Times will remember to
have existed at the date Of its birth, but
which no friend to humanity wishes to
see renewed.
As for what the Times says about vio-
lating the constitutio because it is al
legged to have been violated. We suppose
all take the distin ction between war
measures. such as emancipation. deemed
essential to military success and the sup
preston o: an insurr ection, which very
properly yielded upon the exhibition
not Of force--but Of a purpose to employ
force. No States OF communities in the !
Union would approve of an unnecessary
exercise Of federal power. which might |
be employed in like manner against any
other State.
The federal laws against instruction
were all passed when the civil war was
raging, and. though employed to insure
The military supremacy Of the federal gov.
remain on the statute book as
perhaps. Of the indispensable
legislation to which the Times adverts.
Possibly the States may find this law
rms the federal government with power
If proclamation unne cessary or inconsist-
mt with the consti tuition. In the mean
lime it is law. and it must be obeyed and
accordingly.
From this reasoning, we. deduce: |
/. That any military government in
mus: be the military govern.
nent Of the State authorities; or.
2 That to disregard tie proclamation
+ the President. commanding what he
tyles ''insurgents" to disperse within
limited period, will insure the exercise
+ war powers and military government:
y the federal government.
The first will we trust, be unnecessary.
nd the opportunity for the second passed ,
way. but in either case it may not be a {
uiet encampment. The laws Of the .
tate and federal government against in. s
direction will be enforced.

TIE MATTER AND NOT THE MANNER.

THE MATTER AND NOT THE MANNER
In commenting upon the recent refusal
OF the Germania Bank to pay a check Of
Governor Kellogg in favor Of his wife. the
REPUBLICAN used language liable TO mis-.
construction. which we quote:
In explanation. the paying teller. IN a
rude and abrupt manner. stated that or.
ders from Governor Penn had been received.
that checks from Mr.. Kellogg should not be
paid"
This is not just to Mr.. Cassard. nor
does it properly express the meaning of
the writer. The refusal Of the bank to
pay the check was regarded by both Mrs.
Kellogg and the Governor. under the cir
cumstances, as rude and curt. But in
imparting the decision to the lady the
paying teller was polite and gentlemanly
in manner. and expressed his regrets that
he could not pay because Of superior Or
ders to the contrary.
1t was not the intention Of the REprB.
11cAS to censure either Mr.. Cassard. the
paying teller. or Mr.. r oehl. the cashier.
as we have known both for several years
to be polite and gentlemanly officers who
discharge their duties with fidelity to the
institution that employs them and the
satisfaction Of its custom ers. But we
submit that the refusal Of f duciary in.
stitution to comply with so proper and
reasonable a request as to pay check
drawn against money deposited on demand
was very rude :ransa ction, though the
officers to whom fell the disagreeable
duty Of notifying tie applicant tempered
it with all the politeness characteristic Of
perfec. gentlemen. as they both are. 1t
was the refusal to pay which we desire to
condemn. not the manner in which it was
made. That. we believe, was unexcep-
tionable.
1t is due to Mr.. Penn to say in this con-
nection that the mana gers Of the bank
totally misconstrued his instructions.
which did not contemplate any interfer-
ence with private properly. The bank
should have disregarded any order except |
a judicial one to seize private account.
