NONE BUT TEE PURE.

\ Washington dispatch TO the New
York Republic says:
The old line Democrats insist that no
apostates from the Republican party shall
receive recognition. and that Banks can
not be Speaker.
The conglomeration Of malconten.s and
schismatics who have carried so many dis
tricts in Congress find to their dismay
that they have warmed the copperhead
element into renewed venom. No ac-
acknowledgement will be made tor the SER
vices Of those Republicans who have con.
stituted the whole material of common
success. We apprehend that if the Lib
eral Republican vote of New York We're
deducted from the vote of Tilden and the
members elect Of Congress. the Tweed
Democracy would be restricted within
political limits as harrow as those which
confne that great Sachem Of Tam
many. The apostates--Republican. as
they are called-.wiIl find themselves
utterly impoten: to achieve reforms
in the Democratic party. which might
have been better effected in their own.
There was a story Of a Sabine virgin. who.
ambitious Of the ornamental jewels worn
by the Roman soldiers, sold the KEY of
fortress to the foe. Her apostacy was
rewarded by each victorious soldier cast
ing upon her. as he passed, the much
coveted ornament, SO that she sank. the
victim of her own unwise cupidity, and
the reward Of her vanity rose as the mon
ument of her shame. Something of the
same infamous notoriety may be expected
for the apostates who bid fair to receive
their appropriate reward in political ami
hilation by those astute confederates, who
cast, as they pass in procession, the
tribute of contempt, which will hide them
and their apostacy forever.

Of their important duties connected With
he late election that fails to be accept
able 70 them. This looks very much
as il the threats that have been
made 70 carry the election in favor
Of the Democratic party at all hazards,
are to be strictly carried out if in
'imidation can do it. But We have no
idea that the Returning Board can be in.
fuenced by either fear, favo, or affection.
The members of that board will, no
doubt. perform their duties faithfully and
honorably. and come 10 such conclusions
in the premises, after canvassing the whole
matter. as can be sustained by both law
and evidence. 1t is the duty of the Re.
turning Board 70 prevent violence from
defeating the will Of the majority.

failure upon this test should be sent back
70 his primer, pencil and piow. We will
not .estate the conclusive arguments by
which the RzpCBI1cAS was, under Provi-
dence. the agent to knock this unjust and
erroneous opinion out Of the Picayne's
noddle. Suffice it to say this was done so
effectually that our pupil saw les error and

plants its pennon on the Terrebonne COM

ium. The REPUBLICAN and Picayuale are
now perfectly sound on the proposition
that education always vaccinates effectu-
ally against crime, and that honest igno.
rance Of letters is safer element OF
political trust than educated rascality.
To strengthen our Republican neophite
in the jus. views which it has SO conf
dently adopted we furnish few facts
which 60 to demons t1ate the strength Of
on. position. With such facts and its
own rguments the PIC may defy the
White Leaguers and all their works. The
national Bureau OF Edu cation reports as
follows:
OF the 1856 persons arrested in Buffalo.
i4ll could neither read nor write and 1873
could read only: OF ,7Sl persons arrested
in the District of Columbia. 1927 could
neither read nor write: of 6..3 persons At
rested IN Albany. J32 could neither read nor
write and SO could read only; Of 1861 per
sons arrested in Detroit, C6S could neither
read nor write and - could read only.
From these figures it would appear that
Of 80, 450 criminals there were only one in
five who were illiterate. Now, really, it
would have been very hard to have de-

cause he could in no possible case commit

not indispensable to the right to choose

The Northern Democrats propose 20 make
Tilden President, and then 60 in for re.
ducing the salary to the old figure of
$25, 900 per annum. General Grant is now
receiving 100000 per annum.--P!eayune. (.
President Grant receives only $4,000
per annum. which is little enough. con-
sidering his official position. None If
his predecessors ever succeeded in saving
anything from the salary of the Office.
AS for the assertion that the Northern
Democrats intend to reduce the pay to
$4,000 again. when they elect Tilden
President. it will be time enough to dis
cuss that question after they have sue.

thought good electioneering dodge. but

iLLITERACT AND CRIME,

Some months ago when our friends Of
the Picayune were prospecting the various
political lodes before putting their crush
ing machinery in permanent position for
working the campaign, they made siren
uous opposition to the whole policy of
negro suffrage. This, upon the ground
that where people are so illiterate they
must be incompetent to choose represen-
tatives. Our neighbor in that phase of
opinion contended that o suffragan should
be sworn upon the slate and spelling book

ACTION.

Were one 20 believe half the 5omofs

conspiracy on the part Of the State ON
ciais TO hand the State over 70 perdltlon'
The truth is, the public mind has become
demoralized and the brain added ~
reading incendiary appeals to the worst
passions in the incendiary White League
press. All this is done for purpose
The people have been amused from slme
to time with figures. compiled from GOD
only knows where. purporting to give the
returns Of the late election. The people
are assured Of their correctness. but at
the same time taught to expect the Re-
turning Board will reject them from bad
motives. Any result the board may ar
rive at is therefore to be regarded rs
departure from the line Of right. and
cause for another outbreak. The object
Of this is to either frighten the
Returning Board into accepting the sinau-
lated figures. or pave the way for proiong'
ing the commotion indefinitely. We are
10th to believe the community at large
sympathizes with such sentiments, or will.
when it comes to the pinch rush again 20
the barbados at the call Of those who
have 50 often before sounded false

The Returning Board may rest assured
Ct one thing. It will be sustained in its
conclusions by the lawful authorities Of
the State and nation, and their verdict will
be defended by power which the enemies
Of Republicanism in this State will do we'll

The political School for Scandal has
picked up first class sensation. The Sir
Benjamin Backbites, the Lady Sheer
wells. and all Of the club, agree in the
statement that Governor Kellogg has been
seen recently talking in confidential
manner to one or more members Of the
Returning Board. It has come to the
ears Of Mrs. Candor, who inparts it to
the public confdentially, in this manner:
The extraordinary number of Theoretically
sealed door contabs between certain mem.
bers of the Returning Board and Governor
Kellogg for the past few days has been
subject of much comment ON the streets. 1t
is generally viewed in a very suspicious
light, as the Returning Board are supposed
to know their duty Without any pronptings
from outsiders.
People are very pardonably suspicious of
such proceedings, and if the board is not
actually criminal in the matter, at least
they are guilty Of great indiscretion in thus
leaving themselves liable to severe and
indignant comment.
Of course, Mrs. Candor is ready to
pardon anything which the School may
do having for its object the discovery Of
new subjects for conversation. Charles
Surface and Lady Teazle also rendered
their friends ''pardonably suspicious"
though it proved they were not 'actually
criminal after all. The parallel holds
good as to the suspicious, being chiefly
entertained by their authors. We hope the
agitation on this subject will not seriously
affect the excellent organization that has
undertaken to look after the political
morals Of all the public officials.

Mr.. johnson has addressed long letter
to the New York Herald. in which he dis
cusses at great length the question Of de
facto and de jure Governors. He takes
the decided position that the President is
bound BY his own recognition of Gov
ernor as well as everybody else, the execu.
tive action being predicated upon al as
certained. unalterabie fact. Mr.. johnson
shows very conciusively that the theory
advanced by Mr.. O'Conor would render it
possible to say at any time who should be
the Governor Of any State. and afterward
change him at pleasure. We shall pub
lish the whole Of Mr.. Johnson's able let
