The Gallant Dead.

The war has been over 30 long that us
passions are at last beginning to cool down.
This manifests itself in variety OF ways,
one of which is the hoDors accorded by
either section to the dead of the other side.
Examples of the kind have multiplied
lately, whore officers Of the United States
army have sent decorations for the tombs
OF Confederate heroes, and the compliment
has been heartily returned by Confederate
| veterans In favor of the Federal soldiers
buried in Southern soil.
Aud why should it not be eoi Why
retain wrath against the dead. Is it right
or reasonable to hold every private soldier,
who was in the Federal army, morally re-
sponsible for the wrongs of his government
Many of them were too young to reason
wisely on such subjects many others
never stopped to reason at all, but simply
followed the current without suspicion
that it was set in motion by spirit of envy,
intolerance and tyranny. Many, again,
were forced into tho ranks by conscription
and irresistibly carried forward into the
thousands of noble, generous, honorable
men, and it could oaly be an unreasoning
and unmanly prejudice that would deny
it.
And, even, If each and every man of
them must be held somewhat implicated
in the moral wrong ofthat great usurpation,
was there nothing In any of them to modify
our displeasure and conciliate our esteem
Heroism is an attribute that has always
had the power to win the popular pardon
for many sin. The man who gallantly
lays down his life when honor calls, has
put final seal with his blood across the
lips of censure. The pail of honor and of
duty is thrown over his corpse and even
enmity turns away silent and fearful.
We have no quarrel with the dead who
died bravely. We remember nothing of
them now but their gallantry.

those painted green, which leave from opposite
tho Customhouse, or the Rampant and Dau
phine line, red cars, from the neutral ground
between Royal and Bourbon streets. These
cars are met at Poland street by the accommo-
dation cars wi ich 60 to the Barracks. Only one

Procession this Evening at St. Pa,rick's Church

In another column we publish the programme
for the procession which will take place this
evening, around st. Patrick's church, in honor
of the Blessed Sacrament. 1t will be seen
that the route extends up Camp street to Julia,
out Julia to Magazine, down Magazine to
Girod, aud thence to the church. The ladies
will, as usual, be out in full force but it is
particularly desirab that large number of
men should be present. The Conferences of
the Society of st. Vincent de Paul, the New
Orleans Catholic Total Abstinence and other
Societies have been invited, but as most of
them have had no meeting since the reception
of the invitations from Father Allen, it can
hardly be expected that they will turn out in
much strength. We sincerely hope, however
that not only will most of the men bers of the
above named Societies be present, but that all
Catholic gentlemen, who possibly can, will be
in attendance.
Everybod is willing to join professions in
the Second District, where the whole social
atmosphere is Catholic, and where you are
quite in the fashion if assisting in ceremonies
of that kind. But above Canal street it 10
quite different, except in special localities like
that of the neighborhood of the Redemptorist
Fathers. There is a little more of worldly
curiosity, and little less of sympathetic faith
on the part of spectators, and, of course, it
takes good deal more moral courage to face
the comments that may be made even though
not uttered in words. We are satisfied, how
ever, that there are many who will not be
deferred by want of moral courage.

The Change Of Front.


Our readers have only to peruse the
article from the New York Times, copied in
our to days issue, in order to see at q
glance the totally new disposition of forces
on the political field of action. The New
York Times is the very standard bearer of
Republication in this country. 1t is the
organ par ezsellenes of Grantism, that is, of
the vita! principle of Republication. With
ont G rant, Republication is nothing. There
is, and can be, no other nucleus than his
name for that vast agglomeration Of
plumber, ripg-rule, peculation, jobbery,
bribery, malfeasance and oppression.
But Republication has met with so many
rebuffs aud defeats of late that it's days are
evidently numbered, if it continues to
"6ght it cut on that line" The "nigger"
has been too strong dose. How or in
what way this has come about, we of this
section hardly know, but the fact is perfectly
apparent in the tone of the Northern
press. 1t may be that the people of the
North are moved with commiseration for
the white victims of negro misrule at the
South, whose condition they are just row
finding out. At any rate there is strong
talk of purifying the ballot and the jury
box. There is widely diffused feeling
that voters and jurors should, at least,
know how to read. This is very much to
the point, and the other suggestion that
Federal bayonets must be taken away from
interference in State affairs is still more
decisive.
When the Republican party comes for
ward with such planks as these in it's
platform, it will get new lease of life 1t
ceases to be public pluuderer and obber,
and becomes, for the first time, National
party. 1t may then enlist under it's ban
ner respectable men who are anti Demo-
Gratis by nature, such as formerly com posed
the Wing party. The advent of such an
era may be we'll hailed with joy, as a
restoration, to some extent, of the good
old times when the country was equally
safe under the guidance Of either of two
respectable parties, when honesty and ca.
pacity had to be at least consulted in fill
ing high places, and when every section
rested secure under the broad egis of pa-
tional brotherhood without fears of perse-
cutioD and ruin.

The Virginius.

The great distinction between British
and American ideas of public offices ap-
pears to be som ething like this, that in the
British Empire Offices are created for the
protection of the citizen in America they
are made merely for the benefit of the
Office holder. Let British subject be
mediately gets on the track of the wrong
doer like sleuth-hound. No matter what
may happen to an American, he is ex-
pected to look out for himself. The Bri-
fish Premier feels that stain rests upon
his own honor while foreign wrong of
the meanest subject remains unrighted {:
American officials of high and low degree,
of mind as long as they draw their pay.
Their whole sense of duty seems pretty
we'll limited to that one function.
Our readers will remember the fearful
massacre of Americans, made by Spanish
authority, on the occasion of the capture
of Capt. Fry and his comrades Of the Vir-
ginius. A tremendous pretense of indig
nation on the part of the Government
was gotten up, and rumors of war few
IdbJ duO uS AWcElCdu people
felt that there must be war, but the Gov
eminent let things down easy. The Vir-
ginius was turned over to our navy, shat
tered and filthy, and the plying waters
closed over her before she could tell, in an
American port, the mute story of her
wrongs and our disgraces. That was the
end Of it. Red tape had been consumed
in sufficient quantities, and there were
plenty Of cigars left. Why not be com
Portable
How different in England There were
few men of that l-fated crew who claim
ed to be British subjects. They had
thought themselves safe under the 'Ameri
can flag, but it was delusion, and the
English Government is obliged to take in
hand the redress of their wrong. That
this is done in earnest, is evident from the
following recent telegram:
The correspondence of the British foreign
office, arising ont of the capture of the Fir-
ginius and subsequent executions at Santiago
de Cuba is officially publishedl 1t contains q
dispatch of so late a date as May Z, 1874, sent
by Earl Derby to Mr.. Layard, British Minister
Mt Madrid, in which tho former Gays; ia
view of the grave difficulties of the Govern
ment of Spain, her Majesty's Government has
nltnerto Deen unWllLlnR TO press an answer to
it's demand for Acknowledgements of the wrong
done, and for the compensation to the relatives
of the victims who were subjects of Great Bri
tain, we now trust there will be no further
delay on the part of Spain"
As for the United States, her own citi-
gems have been murdered under her own
flag, insults the most bloody az we'll as the
mast insulent have been heaped upon her,
and her officials treat the whole affair with
the Bublimest maguanimity. What is it
to them They draw their pay, and their
sons or sons-in-law draw large salaries
from the Spanish Government.

CULTIVATION OF SMILAX- j. Wick
than whom there 10 no better authority
as florist. gives the following direc-
tons for the household culture of this
plant, now SO much used in floral deco
rations, for twining in the hair and for
trimming party dresses: "With little
care it can be grown successfully as a
house plant. The seeds should be sown
in box or the house, and should be
kept moist till the young plants appear.
The seed being rather slow to terminate,
Won must not think it bad if it does not
make its appearance in two weeks. The
young plants should be potted off into
three-inch pots as soon as they are three or
four inches high. Once year the bulbs
should be allowed to dry off and rest.
They will start into growth again in
about six weeks. The vine does not re-
quire the full sun, but it will grow well
in q partially shaded situation. 1t can
be trained on q small thread across the
window or around pictures. 1t is a
climbing vine, and will attach itself to
string in just the right condition 10 use
for wreaths, etc., or when required for
lighter work, the branches which become
entangled can be separ ated."
