THE REPUBLICANS LITTLE
MISTAKE.

1t is one of the weaknesses OF human nature
to judge Of our ncighbors' by our own standard
J OF honesty. In this unfortunately too common
failing We are compelled to find the explana.
| ton of serious mistake committed by the
cynical organ of Louisiana carpet-baggism.
In our issue of Saturday, We commented
| upon the latest bug-bear invented by the Chi
cago Tr;I,,ne, Harpers Weekly, and the
New York Repatlic, in which the South
ern Democracy is falsely and maliciously
accused Of preparing TO demand from the
people Of the United States compen-
sation for all kinds Of property slaves
included), lost through the wal, as well as the
repeal of every legal enactment or constitu-
tional amendment comforting political rights
upon the negro. In our indignant denial Of
this preposterously and obviously mendacious
charge we made no reference to the New Or
leans Republican,, for the simple and sufficient
reason that it represents nothing either here or
elsewhere, and is only kept alive by the most
outrageous system Of public plumber ever de-
vised by corrupt political adventurers to
support journal which they thoroughly
repudiate. and whose daily task it is to misrep-
resent and traduce them in every possible
way
Argument would be utterly thrown away on
the dearly paid advocate OF the Packards,
the Lowells, the kelloggs, the Devices, the
Nortons, the Beans, the Lou Dudleys and the
other chiefs OF the Republican party of Louisi-
ana, as not one man in hundred looks into
the columns of that journalistic blood-sucker
save to find out when and where his property
is to be sold by the sheriff to ill the capacious
maws OF the representatives. OF the party Of
great moral ideas and Of their hireings OF
the forum and the press.
We therefore only wish 10 remind the
author OF the article published in last Sun
days H'ptjii~aj,, and entitled, = Dead and
live issues thas, strange and inconceivable
as it may appear TO him, ana TO the like of
him, the tact that there might be money in
the advocacy of certain measures pronounced
by us to be dishonest and thievish would
never prevent us from opposing and denoun-
cling them to the bitter end. and that the code
of journalistic ethics adopted, acted upon, and
ayowed by the Republican. how
ever well adapted 10 the tastes and morals OF
it's party friends is one which we deem only
worthy Of being preached to constituency by
which Dick Turpin, Capt. Rolando, and Jona-
than Wild the Great, are looked upon as typi-
cal heroes and deal models.

WAR AT yICKSBURG.
Negroes Advanced on the City in Three
Columns.
Four Negroes Killed and a Number
Wounded.
Negroes Now Advancing on the City b!

At last the difficulties between the whites

attempt on the part of the Governor to foist
upon the people sheriff who had been de-
posed by the citizens on account of his in
ability to discharge the duties of his Office,
has eliminated in pitched battle bet ween
the opposing factions, and We may expect to
hear Of much more bloodshed before the
trouble is settled, as the negroes have been
wrought up to high pitch OF excitement by
infammatory addresses.

and we await anxiously further intelligence

THE CITY HALL.

| APPLICANTS FOR PLAcE-sTILL THEY CONE.
It has been repeatedly given forth that the
new Council would pursue an economical
course in every particular, in the administra-
ton of municipal affairs, and there is no doubt
that it will be carried out to the letter. as it is
noticeable that retrenchment has been inaugu-
rated by curtailing the force in the Mayor
Office, reducing the expense in that depart
ment alone, fully two hundred and fifty dol
lars.
The committee appointed at the session of
| the Council, held last Saturday, to report on
officers and their salaries, looking to reduc-
ton Of expenses to the lowest point necessary
for the absolute necessity of each depart
ment, as expressed in the resolution
Of Administrator Burke, will begin
their duty forthwith, and it is presumed that
salaries, for time at least, will be raced
down considerably; also that the committee
will limit the numb er of employees in the
several departments, to what may be termed
skeleton force.
In the face Of this established policy, the
hall is daily besieged by hundreds of appli-
cants for place. the great majority Of whom,
sad to relate, it is utterly beyond the power of
the city to accommodate. They hang on,
however, with tenacity quite worthy Of re-
ward, and this public avowal Of running the
machine on small scale seemingly hath not
the effect OF crushing out fair hope worth a
cent, as was to be observed by the throng that
gathered in the hallway and about the front
Of the building Monday morning.
There was apparently new accessions to the
crowd, many new aspirants to position who
have come hopefully 20 the front, but ~ho
certainly, are doomed to sore disappointment.
This daily invasion, and the clamor that at
tends it, is getting TO be extremely monoto-
nous: in fact it is feariully annoying, and
if tolerated much longer vii! degenerate into
an unbearable nuisance.
