THE MILITIA APPROPRIATION.

We regret that our worthy Attorney
General, Colonel Field, should, in his ar
gument before Judge Hawkins the other
day have unnecessarily connected Gen.
eral Longstreets name with the militia
appropriation. He was discussing the
various items of expenditure that have
been incurred to sustain one of the noblest
charities in the State, and the force re-
quired to sustain law and order. AS COM
mander of the militia, the acquisitions on
the appropriation are made in General
Longstreet's NAME But it is notorious
that he has not received the benefit of one
dollar for himself personally. All the
funds that passed through his hands are
properly accounted for by receipts from
competent authority, and as it was not
the intention of Colonel Field to reflect
upon the General in any manner, we
regret he did not employ some other term
to represent the large expenditure. The
General really had no more to do with
spending this money, except to consent
to the inevitable, than the Attorney Cen
eral himself. The crisis demanded the
mastering of armed forces. No one man
could avoid, the necessity; certainly the
commander of the militia could not It
would be as fair to charge a General with
the responsibility of the blood shed as
the expenses of campaign.

SELLING OUT THE CITY.

The newspapers employ this phrase when
an employe on paper, will, to promote
his own personal interests, give such di-
rection to the tone of the paper as to effect
that object.
The analogy is perfect when a journal
having partisan purpose uses the in
terests confded to it, and the confidence
reposed in it, to advance its own pur-
poses. The old English proverb has been
long quoted: ''It is an i'll bird that fouls
its own nest"
For more than year past the Picayune
has devoted itself to maligning every act
of the State and federal government.
This was all fair in politics. In the war
of mud the Pic perhaps got as much as it
threw, and if the bystanders were some
times despatched, it was the possible con-
sequence of rather dirty amusement
But not satisfied with defiling its enemies,
the Picap,ne has fallen foul of its friends.
1t has blazoned far and wide the poverty,
insolvency, vice and crime OF Louisiana
1t represents it as paradise degraded to
pandemonium. This Misrepresentation
quoted in Germany keeps away immigra-
ton; published in New York withholds or
withdraws capital; sedulously impressed
upon Congress it puts New Orleans under
the ban of the nation as of the world.
The press does not usually feel called
on to glorify the iniquities of its wicked
men or to claim precedence for insolvency
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-05-10
A WORD OF CAUTION,

Our peaceable and law-abiding citizens
should give no assistance in any manner
to the evil-minded partisans who are
trying to brew a political storm in New
Orleans. We should avoid, not initiate,
the example of Arkansas, a State now
torn with discussions, and threatened
with fraternal conflicts. There is nothing
in the history of the present difficulty
in that State which is inviting or encour-
aging. The two parties that stand OPP
posed to each other are by no means we'll
satisfied with their standing, nor are the
aggressors any nearer 10 success than
they were before the declared war. Such
conflict, anywhere, naturally draws
everybody into it, on one side or the
other-even those who think at first that
they viii have nothing to do with either.
Property is deprecated in value and even
destroyed, business is interrupted, and
the wealthy and better classes are in
variably the sufferers in the long run.
Lawful authority in this State can not be
wrenched from the hands to which it.has
been legally confded. though there may
be another struggle for it. Last year, at
about this season, We saw great
deal of trouble based upon the
policy of ''action, action, action" which
was then announced. No good came
of it at all, and hundreds of men were
made poorer by it. Are our property
holders willing to see such another tu-
multi? Do they again want to force the
Republican party into defensive atti-
tude? Or do they listen to the fond illu-
sion that everything can be easily accom-
plished by forming unlawful bodies
self-called vigilance committees? We are
not to be thus deceived. In a time like
this every man who attempts to act with
out lawful authority is himself law
breaker, no matter what may be his pro-
claimed intent. Unless the legal authori-
ties can control all classes, they can con-
troll none, and if our citizense sit still and
see the whole fabric of legal government
assailed by insidious foes, they will soon
have no protection for anything. This
caution is founded upon actual observa-
ton, and nothing can be safer than to
heed it,

Pass Christian was the scene last Thurs
day Of q very pleasant episode, Mr.. Hugh
Fitzpatrick, of this city, having induced
one of the fair daughters of Mississippi to
trust her happiness to his keeping. Many
friends of both parties were present, and
good wishes and good cheer made the occa-
sion memorable to all, even though they
were not so deeply interested as the princi-
nails in the ceremony. The state Of matri-
wony having been entered in the State
of Mississippi, the happy couple returned
to the State Of Louisiana to enter on their
nav state of existence, which Is stating the

nent somewhere in this paper ruined

ment somewhere in this pepper ruined
city.
We can not find it anywhere in Mr..
O'Neal's correspondence that he declares
it to be call bosh about the frauds, cor
ruptions and expressions ofthe State gov
ernment,' though lie might have made
such declaration and find plenty of con-
curing opinion right here to sustain him.
"In ride of eighteen miles through our
streets, the writer scarcely saw house for
rent" says the Picayune. But the Dis
patch puts it rather differently: "Dur-
ing ride of some eighteen miles, 1 doubt
if saw altogether dozen To lets up
He was'looking for signs, and failed to
find the usual evidences of vacant build
ings. Hence he draws conclusions. The
advertising columns of the papers do not
show many houses offered for rent, and
the labels "To let are not numerous.
Ordinarily these are accepted as favora-
BILE signs. We do not urge them here as
conclusive. Perhaps the owners of prop
erty. are not conducting their business
as prudent men should. Perhaps
they let untenanted buildings stand
without making any effort to rent them.
They doubtless have right to act as they
think proper: but if they do not adopt
the usual modes of lettering their condi-
ton, they ought not to complain because
tenants are not hunting them up. So
much for Journalistic truthfulness and
honesty" We still insist that neither the
spirit nor the letter of the Pittsburg cor
respondence has been fairly translated by
the Picayeoe, and that our neighbor ap-
pears to be offended because we have not
been written down as the poorest and
weakest sister in the constellation of
American cities. Instead of feeling re-
sentiment towards a gentleman who really
tried to put as hopeful feature on the
face Of our affairs as possible, we ought to
feel grateful, at least, and look around us
to see what can be done to realize his pic
ture.
