q q
cution Of Judge Durell had actually re-
suited in his justification. We certainly
think SO yet, Notwithstanding this little
jet of smoke that has SO suddenly burst
out from the Judiciary Committee room.
Another paper oracularly declares that the
report of the committee is based upon
Judge Durell's judgments in the con-
tested election cases, when all the informa-
ton We have received from Washington
points to entirely different reasons for it.
AS Congress will adjourn on tie twenty
second Of June, there will be no time to
try the case this session, and the matter
will probably drop, as the next will be
what is generally known as short ses-
sion, during which there will be no time,
if there is any disposition to press this
prosecutions further.

IS IT SMOKER:

After cogitation upon the matter for
more than year, the majority Of the Ju-
dietary Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives has agreed to report a resolu-
ton of censure against Judge Durell. The
delay in this matter is altogether unac-
countable on any principles of propriety.
In the absence Of an explanation that will
carry conviction with it, the majority of
the people will look upon this action as
an intention to annoy rather than q pre-
Jude to serious result For the success
Of the resolution through the House may
be regarded as doubtful, while there is
little or no chance for it in the Senate. A
majority of the House is sufficient to in
peach, but the assent Of two-thirds Of the
Senators present is required to convict.
We note that two of the papers Of this
city have already waxed jubilant over this
reported agreement Of the committee.
Like the action Of the famous Committee
on Privileges and Elections this, in their
heated imagination, is the verdict of the
highest tribunal in the land But as the
Senate sent that committee and its report
flying, SO the House may serve its Judiciary
Committee. One of these journals, though
by no meaps out of the woods, indnlges in
a jubilant little crow at the expense Of the
REPUBLICAN, because We stated the other
day, in substance, tina. the violent perse-

public peace, for the sake Of the public
spoils? Not the least All people at the
North, who are not Of this Sham-ocrat
conspiracy, are yankees" All at the
South, who will not come into the enter
prise, are carpet-baggers. Let the one
change his party allegiance to Fusion
and he is no more a Yankee" Let the
other enter the combination for spoils and
the sins Of the carpet-bagger are atoned
for in the production of false key to the
treasury. Governor Moses is now de-
nounced exactly as Ex-Governor Warmoth
was. There are few crimes, personal and
political, with which both have not been
charged. Yet should the telegraph an
nounce tomorrow that Moses had de-
clared his determination to oppose the
President and unite with the Sham-ocratic
combination, he would ascend at once to the
high position occupied at present by his
ex-excellency Of Louisiana, as an oracle
and leader in the Sham-ocracy.
With an avowed purpose Of uniting all
who want Office in common crusade for
the spoils. the American people will be
warned of the INSCRIPTIONS and desperate
character Of the combination. They will
reform any chance departure from Repub-
ican creed. They will cast out any who
have merely assumed the party name to
enrich themselves, and they will guard
with the serried phalanx Of truth the
sacred doctrines upon which this repub-
lie was founded, and upon the mainte-
nance Of which it can alone exist.

A NEW ADVERTISING DODGE,

The proprietor Of q five cent beer shop
in this city has recently succeeded in Sc
curing considerable amount of free ad-
vertising by practicing rudeness to white
gentlemen who happened to come into his
gen at the same moment with colored
men. We have no serious objection to
urge against his making his business of
beer selling social amusement, and have
no disposition to censure him for refusing
to accept all the nickels that are offered.
Neither do We deem it such great hard
ship to be refused mug of beer. 1t is
altogether private matter, or at least
question to be settled between the rum
seller and the applicant for an exhilarat-
ing drink. As it has long been the GUS
tom at his establishment to entertain COL
ored people, it is probably too late in the
day for him to acquire much notoriety by
disturbing the peace Of his own establish
ment under pretense of running a rum
mill exclusively for white people. As a
result OF tAe recent upfOarS, We nOClce
that large number Of peaceably disposed
gentlemen yesterday repaired to the pop
ular beer houses on Royal street, not
caring, probably, to be involuntary wit
nesses of fracas
We all ride in the cars with colored
people, buy our marketing at the same
stall with them, attend church with them,
and behave ourselves generally with them,
except in the whisky shops. These are
temples sacredly dedicated to benzine and
white folks. Happy will it be for our
col ored friends if none Of them ever ac-
quire the habit of lounging around these
exclusively select places.

THE NEW COLLECTOR OF INTERNAL
REVENUE.

NV In u q,
The vacancy in the Office of collector of
int ernal revenue recently made by the
resi- gnation ofColonel Stockdale, has been
filed by the appointment of John Cock
rem, Esq, one OF the well known citizens
Of New Orleans. The appointment was
con frmed by the Senate on Wednesday,
Mr.. Cockrem is gentleman of intelli-
gence and popular manners. He is the
politi cal and personal friend of Senator
West, to whose influence with the Pres
ident lie doubtless owes his appointment.
During Mr.. Vests incumbency of the
Office of city Administrator of Improve
ments Cockrem was his chief clerk, and
succeeded to the Office when West took
his sea. in the United States Senate.
He was not candidate for re-
election in the campaign Of 1872,
the nomination for the Office he then
held having been given to Colonel James
Lewis After the failure of the New
Orleans National Banking Association last
fall Mr.. Cockrem was appointed receiver
of that shattered institution, and has since
been occupied in attempting to put its
affairs in shape.
The new collector is somewhat familiar
with the duties Of his new position, having
gained something Of an insight when
superintendent OF large distillery or
two several years ago. Although he was
then on the outside, yet like Colonel
Field, our able Attorney General, who has
dev oted many years Of his life to defend
ing prisoners, and thus learned their ways
SO as to make him very successful
prosecutor, Mr.. Cockrem knows enough
of the habits of the patrons of his new
office to be eble to keep them straight
He will no doubt make good officer.

A Washington correspondent says that
General Sherman will not leave there to
establish army headquarters at st. Louis
until October. The General thinks there
are several advantages in the proposed
removal, among which is mentioned the
fact that the bulk of the army is stationed
west of the Mississippi, and in case of any
Indian war or other troubles in that section,
army operations could be better directed
from st. Louis than from Washington.
