hon. ". 6. BROWN.

There is wide difference Of opinion
between the Bulletin and the Piccyune es
to the merits Of the very worthy officer
and citizen whose name is above written.
The Picayune. which We regard as much
the better authority, says ne is "a very rep.
utable and respectable man. moderate in
his politica! sentiments and agreeable in
his address," Every word Of this is trne.
as everybody who knows sIr. Brown can
testify. The Bulletin. on Ii. other hand.
INDUCES in very coarse abuse of the State
Superintendent. the division super;nten-
dent, land many members Of the school
board" For the tenth time at least its
small circle Of readers are told that Mr..
Brown is IAN incompetent and drunken
fellow" and that ''forty gentle.
men saw him drunk on the occasion
of the meeting at the Varieties Theatre
last month" etc. This is very strange.
indeed. Gentlemen who have known
Hon. W. G. Brown intimately for years
assure us they never saw him under the
influence Of liquor: If the forty witnesses
called by the Bulletin saw any one by the
name Of Brown drunk on any occasion.
we are bound to enter plea against the
identity. Perhaps the intelligent forty
do not have the pleasure to know the gen.
tleman our contemporary is striving SO
lard to libel. 1t is not at all likely thew do.
We do not see how the Bulletin expects
to assist its party or its friends by making
,nfriendly remarks abou: Superintendent
Brown and Boothb; every time the
school board happens to d;splease it.
Neither Of the gentlemen are in any man.
ner 70 blame fox what body OF men in
which they have no vote may do, and it
is not likely either Of them can be bul,ied
into diferen. behavior by saying harsh.
siu;,,s. and coate,nptuous things about
them.

by shaving off TO the brokers the depre-
| ciated warrants ON an exhausted treasury
will be turned npou the streets: other
hundreds. to whom even the deprecated
pay will be a reprieve from misery. will
fill their places. These men profess the
| same principles. How unnatural. then.
that the one should prey upon the other !?
Yet the salary famine has no law. and
brethren of the same faith will devour
each other with an indiscriminate and in.
satiate appetite.
The battle field has been strewed with
the victims OF this fraternal strife. Yet
are these not altogether dead. "At note
in c fla: these dead men will rise.' for
they are only dramatically defunct. They
will all live again in the subordinate
stations OF the elect. Every one Of the
defeated will be worked up in the subor.
dinate departments Of the city govern-
ment. For this were they candidates.
Notwithstanding the professions OF 10y
atty. and the dattering compliments to
General Pennypacker, the convention pro-
tests that they have not yet withdrawn
their threats. They accept the compro.
mise SO far as to secure the presence of
the amateur clubs at the registry and
election. but there is no safe conduct
guaranteed. nor is there any pledge to
correct the list Of Republicans to be as.
sassinated.
The resolution Of the nominating Con-
vention threatens Governor Kellogg
thus:
We merely pledge ourselves to leud our
aid and Influence tn preserve order. pro.
vided the agreement il in its spirit fairly
executed in all respects.
Whether this expulsion Of all the emf.
nent administrators ate . single term
Of service can be made absolute will de.
pend on several contingencies. to which
we need not advert. In the event these
threats Of violence be not withdrawn.
there may be third party to be consult
ed. for if federal process be provoked here
as in North Louisiana and South Ala
bama. some prominent candidates and
canvassers may not find it agreeable to
attend the elections at all.
It would Seem that il the one termers
wish to enjoy the birthright of which
they have robbed their brethren instead of
employing the dialect of Basin street and
the dagger Of q political vendetta, it would |
be better to resort to civility and justice.
General Pennypacker perfectly under
stands the hypocrisy Of compliments only |
extended to prevent-what need not have
been apprehended- undue and unneces-
sary violence on the part OF the federal
soldiers.
The intolerance Of turning out an adj
ministration Of political friends. the Basin |
street abuse Of all opponents and the
crouching adulation toward a power
which they dread, proves that there is but
one consideration impelling the Fusion |
party. It is one term of office to all
others. but Life tenure Of Office to our
selves.
