ADVICE GRATIS.

If the Republican party fails it will not
be for the want of plenty of advice. We
never saw time when there was more of
the commodity, such as it is, offering in
the market Opposition politicians and
papers come into the party councils with
airs of the most perfect assurance and be-
gin to give their directions, ordering
things to the right and Mft as if they
owned the whole business As they make
no immediate charge for their services, no
matter what their Interior designs may be,
perhaps we ought to feel very grateful for
the proffered assistance. But we find it
difficult to place very high value upon
such services. Possibly President Grant,
the United States Congress, Governor
ellogg, the various State courts, the
police board, and all others in authority,
read and appreciate these partisan criti
cisms with relish and edifcation, though
We have some doubts about it. But of one
thing we are quite certain. The Republi-
can party, while acting in primary mat
tiers, such as choosing officers of ward
clubs, running parish conventions, and
otherwise exercising the rights of
sovereignty. pay little heed to the inter
ested suggestions Of those who do not
come squarely into the Republican fold
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-04-30


and take their chances with the rank and
Ala. Our contsmporaxio. thssgorA have
as little reason to feel jubilant over the
debates of . Republican convention as
they have to be depressed over the re-
ported reconciliation of the disputants.
The Republican party is not about to fall
to pieces because two ward politicians
fall out with each other, nor to assume
an overlooking attitude in consequence of
their subsequent reconciliation. So long
as gentlemen please the party they may
have some claim to the credit of being
leaders; but when they forget themselves
they will be set aside with the other
wrecks which stand on either side of the
road over which the party has marched
The old Democracy had habit of stick
ing to their leaders whether right or
wrong. They failed at last. The Repub-
licans change theirs occasionally, and
succeed.

OUR GUIDE, PHILOSOPHER AND Friend.

OUR GUIDE, PHILOSOPHER AND FRIEND.
st. Louis has kindly taken upon herself
the care of our affairs. The failure to
force Eads and his dam is an admonition
that the United States will not permit the
river to be INSTRUCTED and the crops of
Louisiana drowned out to fill the pockets
of any speculator.
The st. Louis Times next reproaches
New Orleans with the ruin that menaces
her. The same war that blockaded New
Orleans enriched st. Louis. That canny
city, always mindful of the main chance,
took all manner of government contracts,
kept the right side of the army, and, so
far from losing anything by the fires of
war, warmed her own toes very comfort
ably at the condagration. She now holds
New Orleans responsible for the diversion
of trade. The war opened and estab-
lished the cross trade, and st. Louis con-
summated the vassalage of the West to
the East by building bridge across the
Mississippi, and tunneling under her own
streets and houses. 1t was lately stated,
without contradiction, that the flour ex-
ported from st. Louis to Spanish America
went by way of New York, and not New
Orleans. The last use to be made Of our
city is by the politicians.
= The St. Louis Times employs a dis
torted report Of our political affairs, as a
shocking example of Republican deprav-
ity in q city under the administrative
government Of Fusionists.. It. is espe-
cially hard to hear the decline Of imnigra-
ton by this route charged to the bars on
the, river. which. 1t is: the national pro-
vince to remove. We bear this flood of
Islander, and observe this attempt to con-
vert our misfortunes into political capt.
tai; as we have been compelled to endure
the pitiless pelting of the elements. Each
will abate, when exhausted, and when St.
Louis can make nothing more by abuse
and interference, she will, we suppose,
turn her attention to her own affairs.
When Chicago and Milwaukee unmask
their battaries, to knock the St. Louis |
grain trade into smithereens, we shall |
have word to say in her behalf, and
will heap several shovels full Of Goals upon |
her thick and unmannerly skull. Mean
time, what thinks the Democrat of the |
demolition of Eads? The sympathetic
people of the Union will not allow him to |
drown us out just yet.
Spare us, good Eads!

COMMISSION OF ENGINEERS AT PANAMA.
The Panama Star and Herald details the
incidents connected with the arrival Of the
United States engineer commission. We
have stated the completion of the inspec-
ton upon the Nicaragua route. The
commission comes down the Pacific coast
to Panama. Captain Selfridge will join
them at Panama, as Captain Lull did at
Nicaragua to escort them over the lines
of his survey across the lower isthmus.
We may next expect to hear of these en-
gineers after they shall have crossed the
Napipi and Atrato passes, and upon their
return the much vexed question of
comparative expediency of the inter-ocean
transit will be decided. Our hope is that
New Orleans may be made the base of
construction and expedition, and that the
lake lines of Nicaragua may be adopted
and thrown open to commerce.
