federacy. For such acts Of treachery
Messrs. Oglesby, Greenwood, Sandidge
and one or two others, have, been pointed
out for spotting. Scorn has been asked

vote, declared that the accusation was not

NOT MUCH OF A SHOWER.

The lease of the st. Louis Hotel, about
which so much noise has been made, has
been set aside by competent authority,
and new one made. We notice
the Bulletin sets up an absurd claim
to the credit of the whole bust
ness. That paper really had no more
to do with any part Of the proceeding than
it had in producing the present drouth.
In common with other journals, it pub
lished some facts in the case. The Louis
idnian, however, is entitled to the credit
OF first laying the case fairly before the
public. Unpublished the contract of lease,
which we reproduced. The Bulletin added
opinions of its own, which were Of no con-
sequence. Colonel Field took measures
to test the question the moment it came
to his knowledge that the commission had
exceeded the powers conferred upon it by
law.
We never regarded this very serious
matter, as we are aware that no more
than $4,000 can be spent for rents Of
public buildings without additional au-
thority from the Legislature, and it will
be time enough to seriously discuss such
a proposition when it shall come up. The
terms of the new lease appear to US very
favorable to the State.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-06-03
LET Us HAVE MORE TESTIMONY,

A case of disputed veracity has arisen
between one Of the Bulletin reporters and
Captain N. D. Bush, commanding the
Third Regiment, Louisiana State National
Guard. There is no doubt that request
was made by some Of the parties for soda,
which SO excited the person in charge Of
the little soda shop on the corner of Eu-
terpe and Prytania streets that he told
the applicants that the price was one dol
lar per glass. No one was in such strait
for soda as to submit to the eytortion,
and none was Lad. Now, unless We can
have more witnesses or testimony of some
kind to make one side or the other pre-
ponderate, we shall be forced to the con-
clusion that the battalion really did
frighten the vendor Of cooling beverages,
without, however, intending anything Of
the sort. Why he should have become ex-
cited at all is mystery. Perhaps he is a
stranger here, and not accustomed to see
ing colored people. We have seen as many
as twenty-five or thirty colored folks jump
into Carrollton Car without causing so
much as futter. The driver politely
furnished them change when requested,
and even the mule took no further notice
Of the circumstance than to give an addi-
tional twist to his tail as a reco gnition of
the increased demand upon his powers Of
draft. At any rate, there is no thought
of pistols, riot, nor disturbance of any
kind, when any number Of people, black
or white, line the streets and hail the
cars. Nor can we see any occasion for
fuss and excitement when quiet people
simply ask for glass of soda, and 60
without it in case of refusal. The courts
are open to all who are aggrieved, and if
wish to indulge in the rather
luxury Of rudeness to citizens
and take the consequences, we suppose
they have the right Of option. We DO
rot know how they are to be deprived Of
the great American right of being sued.
When the case comes on for trial, how
ever, we hope the defendant will not neg
lect to call that most intelligent. Bulletin
reporter who followed the militia from
Chalmette to the soda shop, and knows
al about what occurred at both places
better than one of the actual participators.

we do not agree with the Times that a
simple capacity to write ones own name
or to forge the name of another is sufi-
clent qualification for suffrage. We do
not agree with Jack Cade that because lie
had once written his own he chad never
been his own man SINCE" nor with a
South Carolina legislator who is reported
by clergyman to have said that no man
was tit for legislator vino could read or
write. 1t is for these reasons that our
friends of the New York Times should be a
little more modest in prescribing the capac-
ity to combine the alphabet in the words
John Jones, and to trace tie same COM
bination with lead pencil, as an institu-
ton for the effectual protection of the
public virtue. We need something more.
There should be higher standard of
integrity established among public men.
A better rule of selecting candidates
should be adopted. More penal guards
should be thrown around the exercise
OF official and representative power. The
cobweb partition which separates the
perpetrator of legislative larceny at Albany
from him who visits the same capital as a
convict should be broken down. The
man who commits robbery on the public
treasury with the pass key provided by
his constituent is worse man by the vio-
lation Of trust than that other who has
opened the safe of New York banker
with cold chisel or gunpowder We do
the New York Times the praise that it is
the veritable "man that killed Tecumseh.

Those public burglars did
not merely read and write. They wrote
editorials, made speeches, manipulated
reports, passed laws and conducted the
legislation of cities and States. Let the
New York Times then look little deeper
into the causes Of political crime than the
clumsy copy Of New York roguery repro
1uced by ignorant people in the South.
Let it devise some better mode of cor
'ecting this evil than one which may ad-
nit to the right Of suffrage the man who

PROTECTION OF TIE BALLOT,

10 Our contemporary of the New York
Times is, perhaps, to some extent justified
in suggesting as a protection to the ballot
the qualification of certain stage Of
education. This is to some extent pro-
lection against ignorant suffrage, but what
is to protect us against dishonest suffrage2
New York is one of the best educated
States in the Union. Perhaps larger
proportion of her citizens could read and
write before the register of votes than of
most other States. But New York has
the merit of having produced, convic.
ted, and honored Tweed. New York
is the patentee of every legislative
swindle that has ever been perpetra-
ted. Especially Sa this dishonesty
of educated New York brought 20 ands
perpetrated, upon the uneducated sSppth.

The quickest time ever made to New

route in sixty-seven hours and twenty six
minutes-in round numbers, two days and
half. This is wonderful after all the un-

beset the country some weeks ago. The
management of this route are now able to
present to the travelling public superior ad-
vantages in many details that can not be
found elsewhere, speed, safety and comfort
being their motto. This change Of time
