The frivolous New Orleans paper, which
published to the world the startling sensa-
ton that 5000 people in our midst were on
the verge of starvation, is rewarded by
comments like the following item found in a
Western exchange. "Advices from New Or
loans represent that city, SO lately the scene

refer to the fact that they are tillers of the
soil; men who strive to produce cotton,
sugar, rice, etc., and thus add to the
wealth Of the State and nation. 1t is
not their fault that they are now in the
con dition to demand the benevolent con-
sideration of those who have not been
overtaken by misfortune, and are permit
ted to have the means to assist those who
have. Therefore, it is mean to say they
are paupers, and slanderous in the ex-
treme to say the whole State is beggared,
and attribute that beggary, if it really
exists, to others than its real authors
the secessionists and Copperheads. 1t is
a palpable falsehoed to say that taxation
has been increased under Governor Kel-
loggs administration. On the contrary,
taxation has been materially reduced, and
system of reform inaugurated, since he

Of much good, if be is permitted to carry

MORBID ANATOMY.

Our powerful description Of the river
mouth as INSTRUCTED by the broken jetties
Of Eads, have so stirred an old citizen
as to set him to sketching the imaginary
state of the river blocked and damned
up by the wingdams. His last sketch in
pencil adds to the drifts of stone, mud
and timber of the Eads raft distinct
and inevitable danger. 1t is the mud humps!
These rise under the superintendent
pressure of water, and not uncommonly
raise up the whole bottom of the river
within few feet of the surface There is
stated to be chimney at the Balise built
from a cargo of brick lost out of a vessel
years ago, but brought to the surface by
mud lump. Ships in eighteen feet water
at night have been found aground on mud
lump in the morning. The mud lump
will rise under the canal, or under the
Jetties. 1t is no respector of the vain
structures of man. Our friend sends us
the sketch of the Eads wingdams after
the rise of a mud lump in the channel,
and Of several mud Jumps along the ten
miles of underwater streets, forty feet in
height The jetties, in the sketch, are
forced out of place, the connection
broken, and the current pours between
the jetty wall and the mud shsre
''eroding," in manner wholly disre-
spectful of the Professors two sides of
the river instead OF the bottom, as it had
been considered to do. In the narrow
masses of mud Jumps are de-
picted, which are about the consistence
OF steatite or soapstone.
The sketch represents the morbid anat-
omy of the Mississippi outlet after it shall |
have been diseased and demoralized by |
the empirical distractions to be put into |
it. If we had the same facilities of block |
as New York, we would have |
this sketch engraved and colored after the |
of drunkard's stomach or a mag
aifed tu'aiea sclerotica. We would show

'rete and cypress limbs as indestructible
Is concrete. We would have these broken
blocks with their warning buoys colored
brightly in red of the most infammatory
Tue. Thus, the obvious results of intem-
'erate legislation, like those of intem-
,erate drink, or reckless use of the optics,
night caution the public to guard against
hese lamentable results. This can be
'est done by refusing to let such empir-
cal and reckless experiments as will in
vitality produce the incurable affection
hown by morbid anatomy.

TIE VAINEsT OF EFFORTS.

Since very large number of our infu-
entail men have fallen into the habit of
thl mixing for themselves, there has been
manifested great signs of perturbation by
the Bulletin, and very lively cracking of
the small party whip has been heard in the
nei ghborhood of Gravier and Common
streets. But the Picayuae, the Times, the
German Gazette, Messrs. Oglesby, Moses
Greenwood, J. NJ. Sandidge, Governor
Hebert, Baldwin, the members of the
City Council-in short nearly everybody,
vote it to be OF no consequence. The
Chamber Of Commerce, the other night,
by unanimous vote, expressed the same
opinion, which would have been over
whelming to modest journal. But the
little Bulletin only snapped its toy whip
the louder, and cried Justify, "Great is
this people, and the Bulletin is it prophet"
Now, we regret to see all this. We only
ask for every individual in this city the
priv leges we claim for ourselves perfect
freedom of opinion in politics and re-
ligion. We therefore regret to see the
Bulletin, which is in the main good
natured journal, always sprightly and
sometimes intelligent as well as intel
ligible, arrayed on the other side; for
though we desire to live in peace with our
neighbors, we shall war with all who
make war upon free thought. Those who
suppose they can set this whole COM
munity against man, rich or poor, sim
ply because he does not receive his
opinions from the junta, has lived here
during the past five or six years 10 no
purpose.

The quickest time ever made to New
York is now made by the great jackson
route in sixty-seven hours and twenty six
minutes-in round numbers, two days and
q half. This is wonderful after all the IN
controlled drawbacks and affections that
beset the country some weeks ago. The
management of this route are now able to
present to the travelling public superior ad-
vantsges in many details that can not be
found elsewhere, speed, safety and comfort
being their motto. This change of time
table includes the shortening up of time
between this city and St. Louis, Chicago
and all points of interest North, East and
West, including the healthful Virginia
springs. Pullman palace cars on all trains.
Superior accommodations can be found on
this line of travel for families or large par
ties Of tourists who need extra accommo-
datioAs while travelling for pleasure or
profit.

then the most equitable and impartial of
all governments, since its conditions are
applicable to all, and one member may
be as liable to these conditions as an
| other.
We return, then, to the propriety of
female suffrage. The REPUBLICAN has ex-
pressed the opinion that female suffrage
is a political disinfectant. That to diffuse
this pungent moral agent throughout the
electoral purlieus would neutralize and
annihilate the germs of political corrup-
| ton which are but dominant until the
impure and heated atmosphere of politi-
cal election shall give them virus more
destructive to the life of the nation than
a hundred wars.
We conclude this notice with the
weighty opinions of some leading Sena-
tors who voted for the experiment of te-
male suffrage in Pembina Territory. On
the principle Of equal suffrage
Mr.. Morton said he was in favor of the
amendment upon what he urged as the
fundamental principles of our government
The declaration of independence said all
men are created free and equal. The word
men did not mean males; it meant the
whole human family.
On the political publication of female
suffrage Mr.. Sargent said:
Give them an opportunity through the
ballot box and they will break up nefarious
practices now existing and purify society.
Mr.. Flanagan said:
He was a new convert to the cause of |
woman suffrage, and was made a convert |
by the glorious efforts of the women's cru |
SADIE against intemperance. Women and |
women only, through Almighty God, could |
save this country from the worst of all |
evils, intemperance.
Mr.. Stewart. of Nevada, said the question
of female suffrage was being considered
seriously by large portion Of the people of |
the United States. Here was an opportu
nifty to experiment with women suffrage in
this new Territory, and if it worked well
there he hoped it would spread all over the
country.
There can be no serious question that
the equal right of women to vote and be
voted for, will become q national issue,
if not a national law.
