The Bulletin INDUCES itself in the
rather too common habit of self-praise to
an extent which goes beyond the limit of
half scandal. In one paragraph we learn
the paper is poor and a female; in another
that she has been tempted to "come
down. but that she has refused, though
Large sums were offered for silence. We
are informed that if we demand it, the
names of our friends who have attempted
to bride this Ishmaelite Of journalism will
be given. We certainly have great Gu
riosity to know whether any Republican
has been so dishonest, silly and indiscreet
as to do such thing, and will be thank
tul for any information on this point. OF
course we do not suppose the Bulletin
would listen to any proposal of the kind,
but have reason to think it, or 'she"
would not let such splendid opportunity
for making sensation pass without i'm
proving it. Let US have the information
then, by all means, done up in the GUS
tomary sensational style, including big
head lines, exclamation points, and all the
6xings. If we have any friends who
would muzzle the Bulletin we will mark
their names of our visiting list when the
fact is proved.

JUDGE ATOCaA's CHARGE TO THE GRAND,
JURY

The first grand jury impaneled under
the law creating the Superior Criminal
Court, were on Monday charged by Judge
Atocha in regard to their duties. 1t has
not often been our good fortune to read a
clearer, more concise or able address from
any bench than We find this admirable
charge to be. No attempt is made to con-
fuse the mind with obtruse legal princi-
pies, whose meaning, like certain Jewels,
are decidedly hard to find, but of question
able value. His views as to the honor
able duties of juror ought to be carefully
considered by all. Instead of deeminc it
irksome to serve the State in such a ca
pacity, it should be esteemed a high post
of honor, as it is indeed one of great
responsibility. In this connection we
are glad to observe the judge has declared
his purpose to make the jury rooms the
fit abode for gentlemen, furnished with
such conveniences as are supplied to all
well regulated public and private offices.
The surroundings Of man have power
full influence upon his character. So much

and careful attention from jury pent up

PROMPT RELIEF.

Congress yesterday passed bill which
will receive the hearty approval Of every
person in this State. 1t is not often that
we have under consideration subjects
which command such unanimity. We al
Jude to the bill to authorize the President
to issue food and supplies to the people
of Louisiana who have been devastated by
the overflow. 1t is worthy of note that
on this occasion the representatives of a
great and generous nation did not stop to
make captious inquiries before authorizing
the relief. No member arose in his place
and inquired if the people Of Louisiana
had n OF brought the disaster upon them
selves by neglecting their levees, or re-
fusing to pay taxes, or in any other easily
supposed ways by which things are per-
mitted to go to ruin for want of attention.
The volumes Of abuse that have been
showered upon Congress from this section
were forgotten il moment. Gentlemen
voted for our relief with as much ap-
parent alacrity as they had once before
done for their own back pay, and never
thought to throw it up to US that we have
adopted some of their legislative acts as a
sort of staple commodity in-our political
discus sions. All Of which proves to US
that however the Americans may quarrel
with each other in prosperity, they are
truly friends and brothers when a great

ever present impulse of men SO situated
is to get out as soon as possible, no mat
ter how. We have hearbof judges even
who would hurry up jury to hang a
man because be was in hurry to go to
his dinner. With this promise of pleas
ant consultation room, which the jury may
rely upon, because Judge Atocha is man
who will strictly keep his word, comes the
information that excuses for exemptions
from jury duty will be scrutinized very
closely. This is a hint to citizens that
they are expected to be ready to obey with
alacrity the call Of the State for their SER
vices, and not attempt to shirk their duty
by urging frivolous reasons. He points
out very lucidly the details of the duties
they are expected to perform, and the
manner in which their business is to be
transacted.

firms our prediction that be would keep

EXTENT OF DAMAGE AND NEED OF RE-
LIEF

We find the report of the committee O.
citizens as to the extent Of damage indict-
ed by the food, to correspond with our
approximate estimate of yesterday. There
is variation in the number of parishes,
we having assumed some parishes of Red
river, which have been omitted by the
committee. Sufficient is then known to
enable our friends abroad to know that
there are suffering thousands here who
must depend on the sympathies of the
generous public elsewhere. Boston, a
sufferer by the late fire, knows what it is
to have starving and shivering mass of
women and children. She has received the
aid Of other communities, and renders the
succor which she knows so well is indis-
pensable. We may anticipate that Chi
cago who was in the day of her great
calamity literally overwhelmed with the
concentrated charities Of a sympathizing
world, will remember the calamities of
Louisiana. Foreign nations should like
wise remember the aid extended by the
people of the United States to the starving
poor of Ireland, and especially the gener-
GUS donations made by the people of New
Orleans to the siege sufferers Of Paris.
There is a point of view on which our
Cotton Exchange would do well to act
The cotton buyers and shippers Of Liver
pool, Bremen and Havre derive much of
their stocks from the region overlooked in
Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. If
these planters are broken down by the
loss of crop, stock and animals, it must
effect the cotton market. Would it not
combine, therefore, charity with interest,
for the cotton buyers, shippers and mil
lers to SO aid these planters that the cot
ton crop of this most fertile region shall
not be diminished by the inability of the
planters to continue its production on
the same scale as formerly? Let the Cot
ION Exchange and Chamber of Commerce
act on this idea, and much foreign relief |
nay be attracted
The appeals to the federal government
or relief and protection, show the mutual |
Citations of the States to each other, and
he common duty of the common govern
nent to defend and relieve the States and
he communities which compose the States.
We might. anywhere else, expect some
batement of abuse toward the federal
nd State governments for the oppression
f being in Republican hands. Here,
!owever, it continues, and the same Jour
al which in some columns teens with
Offering, with prayers to the government
Or relief. and with hearty responses of
be power appealed to, continues to snarl
nd snap at the fingers that feed the suf-
sring thousands.

La POLITIOUE.

Our Gallo neighbors of rA5eiVe are
like the great philosopher who was so in
tent on the pursuit of an abstract prob
| lem as to be unaware of the siege and
sack Of the city Of his residence. While
the waters roar and rush around and the
air is vocal with the sobs and SORROWS Of
a starving people, pAbeille writes homily
on ''The Policy of the President of the
United States toward the Southern States. :"
OF this policy it is said that it consists Gin
an active intervention to install in power
usurping Governor" This French
criticism on Republican government
says the country needs to be enlightened
upon the theory Of the President relative
to federal Intervention, for the events
which occurred in Louisiana in January
1872, whence the usurpation of Kellogg
and the actual employment of troops in
Arkansas indicate a certain confusion of
ideas of the President relative to his duty,
and to the exercise Of the right of inter-
vention." What could the President do
better than consult an organ SO profound
ly skilled in French politics? Why not
retrocede Lo uisiana to France and give US
a President appointed by the Legislature?
Why not cite the example ola brave coun-
try conquered by the intrigues. and div
isions of its own rulers? Why not ex-
plain the merits Of city besieged, raw
aged and almost destroyed by its own
communists, and the trial of thousands
for the offense of civil war? On all these
subjects pAbeiNe would furnish excellent
authority, but as an expounder of a con-
stitutional government its opinions are
too foreign for adoption.
At the present time Louisiana is asking
of. this government, headed by President
whose policy is said to be to install and
protect "usurping governors" some help
in her misery. The partisan press sees no
truce in its warfare, and tends to exas-
perate the very power from which aid is
asked, against the object of our prayer.
1t would be, perhaps, wise to ask what
will be the policy of Intervention in our
struggle with high water and starvation
Will the Presiden. aid these usurpers?
We can see no other object in this per-
sistent censure of everything in this
country, except to disgust our people with
the government, and impel them to petit
ton for intercession to France, just as
the Shreveport parishes, discontinued with
being in party minority, ask to be trans
ferred to Texas.
If the President of the United States
and the Republican party were as intoler-
ant and vindictive as their Fusion oppo-
nents in Louisiana, the waters might close
over every head and habitation in our
State without finger raised to the rescue.
Happily for humanity this is not the case.

coast. In view of this succinct history
OF the obstruction at the mouth Of The
Mississippi and the experiments to relieve
1t conducted in all the modes stated TO,
; the past forty years, we ask if it be
right to style the merchants of New
Orleans Ga determined cliqueof specula.
tors and vampires" or the tools Of such
clique?
Is it not obvious, further, that the mer-
chants Of New Orleans have watched all
these experiments. and despairing of any
other mode Of relief, have selected the
canal, not because Of any preference for
such work, but because actual expert
| ment has excluded any other mode of i'm
rroyement?
1t IS useless to appeal to the st. Louis
press for justice. The representation
OF Louisiana is very small in number. 1t
consists of six members of the House and
Senator. This delegation is understood
to be equally divided. That is, the vote
of her Senator being, as understood, in
opposition to the improvement recon-
mended by the Legislature and merchants
of New Orleans, utilities the vote of her
popular representatives, who are under
stood to support the plan Of her mer-
chants.
We ask if it is fair to so abuse this su-
perior power as to take from New Orleans
the right to advise the mode of outlet
improvement? These journals claim
that Louisiana has 10 more right to adj
wise than any other point in the valley.
We have cited reasons why she should be
deferred to on this subject. l. She has
no other other outlet, while the upper
cities have all the railroads. 2. Louis
lana has her whole crop and substance at |
stake. The wing dams Of Eads will, ac-
cording to Engineer Stein, s'dam back
the water" and make it overflow the
whole country. The refux of the tide
yesterday caused rise of the water
1T our wharves. Is it then reason
able that st. Louis should, by her supe-
rior vote, force US to lose our crops to
satisfy the theory of contractor who can
nave no other interest than the profit
If his work if successful, and who will
lot lose even his salary if the parties
whose money he is expanding shall fail
n their enterprise?
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-04-22

President and the Republican majority in
Congress look only at their duty, and do
not listen to the obloquy of their really
insignificant opponents. Even the ne
groes, denounced daily by the same Fu-
sionists; fearing, in time of election, for
their lives, are now guarding and laborins
on the hvees for protecting the property
of Others. In mere partisan there is
neither justice, gratitude nor care for
others, and no policy of President to-
ward the Southern States would be salts
factory except that which would give to
the Fusionists all the offices of the South
ern States.

To all State and parish officers in the overfowed
districts of Louisiana, and to the citizens gen.
orally:
The calamity VIII ich has so Unexpectedly over
taken our State when all indications pointed to a
speedy renewal of agricultural and commercial
prosperity, calls for the highest exercise of your
Judgment, forbearance and humanity.
The State government has done and is doing al
that its will allow to alleviate the suffer
ings OF those who have been reduced to restitution
by he disastrous crevasses in the levees of our
great rivers and by the floods consequent upon the
rece MT heavy ram storms.
acquisitions have been made by the State au-
thorities and by our Representatives in Congress
upon the general government for immediate aid,
and have reason to believe that the acquisitions
thus made will be promptly responded to.
The Mayor of New Orleans the president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and well chosen commit.
tee of distinguished citizens doing all that can
be done to send immediate assistance to those
need of it, and the appeals that have been made
to the great cities of the North East and West will
Doubt ess, in due time, bring generous response.
In the meantime, let me enjoin upon you pa
thence, forethought and confident reliance upon
those who have undertaken to avert, far as pos
sible, the evils which now threaten you.
Supplies of money, food and clothing will be
for W arded to you without one moments unneces-
sary delay. To send your distressed population to
this city, already oveIcrowded with unemployed
people, will only embarrass the efforts that are
being made for your relief.
