The humblest spectator that gazes upon

might act-as he does. 1t seeks no help
from mystery. The workings of Othello's
mind are exhibited to the audience as
plainly as though heart and brain were

FORT ST. PHILIP CANAL,

The pertenacity with which Mr.. Eads
has propelled himself before the House
Committee on Railroads and Canals is
astonishing His scheme seems to have
no support except from Chicago and
New York. 1t has been repudiated by
New Orleans, and is deprecated by St.
Louis: yet he persists in his demand that
all hands shall stand by while he makes
an experiment.
Fortunately for New Orleans one of her
representatives, Hon. Mr.. Sypher, was
present to put in such summary of OBJ
jections as will we'll neutrallze Mr. Eads'
nostrum. This summary will be found
under the Geographic head in our edition
Of yesterday.
We can not too earnestly impress upon
our representatives in Congress the i'm
portance of concentrating upon the canal
and postponing the jetty experiment.
Among other incidents tending to show
Why Chicago advocates Mr.. Eads' obstruc-
ton may be cited paragraph from tie

SUNDAY LIQUOR LAW.

The opposition in the Senate and else
where TO the bill Of Senator Stamps pro-
hibi ting the sale Of intoxicating drinks on
Sun day seems to be based on a misconcep-
ton. The proposed law is eminently
practical, not sentimental or theological.
1. is not based upon any puritanical or
superstitious regard for the first day of the
week, but upon the expediency of redu-
cling the amount Of crime and disorder in
our State by cutting off the occasion fur
nished by the open sale Of liquor upon
that lay on which the majority of people
have most time to indulge in it. Nobody
dispu tes the proposition that the keeping
of the Sabbath and the keeping of ones
self sober are individual concerns, mat
tiers in which the State has properly
no concern. It is equally indisput-
able, however. that the State has right
to insure peace and good order among its
citizens by preventive as we'll as punitive
mea sures. This much-abused Sunday
liquor law is simply preventive measure.
It does not assert that drunkenness is any
worse on Sunday than any other day; but
assn mes that it is much more likely to
occur. on account of the larger numbers
at lei sure to resort to it. Men who have
been working hard all the week want some
relaxation on Sunday. They want mental
excitement. This. as rule. is not fur
nished in the churches. 1t is in the
grog shops: and if they are opened
they will be filled. The consequence
is that there are more fights. as
saults and murders committed in the
country parishes on Sunday than on any
other day in the week. Now. quiet. sober
| citi zens have rights as we'll as roisterers
and drunkards, and the quiet, sober por-
| ton of our population are perfectly will
| ing to be debarred by law from the priv
lege of frequenting drinking houses on
Sunday. The question, then, is whether
| the sober, quiet people or the drunken,
quarrelsome ones are to prevail. 1t is a
mere point ofexpediency, not of principle,
| and that should be understood. On prin-
ciple, the public sale Of intoxicating drinks
should be prohibited altogether, or should
be allowed every day. We all know that
Those who favor this law know it as well
as those who oppose it. 1t would of course,
be much better for society if people were
| all GOOD and sober, and fond of going to
church, but they're not. Many people pre-
fer barroom to pew, grog to the gospel
and drinking chorus to the doxology.
If nothing worse came Of such causes than
individual degradation, the matter should
be left where it has been left SO long, to the
J gradual effect Of tie diffusion Of morality

compel the railroads terminating at Mil
waukee to charge the same rates per mile
for through and way freights. Men upon
the roads say that if required by pro
rata bill to relinquish their Minnesota and
West Winconsin traffic, where they meet
the competition of the Mississippi river,
they will be compelled either to charge
higher rates on all other traffic or to carry
at loss.
Here, then, is an additional item Of evil
dence that the ports of Chicago, Milwau-
kee and New York are going to fight the
port Of New Orleans from the start. Here
is an evidence that all the latitudinal rail-
roads are in for the same fight. When,
then, Mr.. Fades attempts to divide the
| friends of the canal, he becomes the ally
of the enemies of the Mississippi. If,
however. his little scheme shall stop the
mouth of tie river, he will have this phi
losophical consolation, that his bridge
| will take the commerce across it.
We are gratifed, however, to know that
the argument in favor of the canal on its
merits is overwhelmingly in favor of its
entire feasibility and economy.
General Humphreys. the chief of the
United States engineering corps, is a
little more familiar with the peculiarities
Of the mouths of the Mississippi river
than Colonel J. B. Eads. who has come
forward so inopportunely to offer as a
substitute for the canal the jetty project
of his close private corporation.
Mr.. Eads' personal acquaintance with
the mouths of the river was. we believe.
derived exclusively from the observations
made on an excursion down the river last
spring with the congressman who met at
st. Louis and came thence 20 this place
via Galveston. If this one trip and one
casual inspection of Mr.. Eads is worth
all he claims for it. the United States
government is saddling the people of the
whole country with an intolerable and un-
necessary burden in keeping up at
heavy expense SO large board of engin-
GERS. Mr.. Eads could easily make once
per year the same personal inspection Of
all the great works projected throughout
the whole country, which he did make Of
our canal. If his decision is as valuable
as he seems to suppose. it might be well
to dispense with the large board Of engin-
GERS and let the whole contract on ca sier
terms TO MI. Eads. Economy is the
present watchword Of all parties.
Seriously, we think the sublime Of cool
ness was never reached in the scientific
circles Of this country until Mr.. Eads put
forward what looks like job. and pro-
posed. with one wipe Of his sponge, to
efface every track made by the engineer
board on this subject.
We will settle the photographed hash
of Mr.. Eads in few days by showing
from an original document:
l. That the normal depth Of the M!ssis-
sippi was. century and half ago. but
fourteen feet.
2. That his plan of corralling the cur
rent was invented by the first engineer
that ever dropped plummet on its bars.

The Picayune, artful dodger as it is, be-
ing convicted of advocating the interests
of forei On bondholders at the cost of the
well-nigh ruined people of Louisiana, en-
deavors to divert the odium from itself by
shifting the question, and accusing the
REPUBLICAN of being the organ of some
thing or somebody else, not specified, but
the support of whom or which is sup
posed to be equally disreputable with its
own course in trying to force the payment
of fraudulent bonds upon the State. The
ruse is too weak and shallow to deceive
any but those who would fain be believed.
Equally futile, too, are its efforts to be-
guile the colored leaders of the Repub-
lican party, as it has frequently tried OF
late to do, with the aid of little weak fiat
terry We know the ''honestly disposed
colored Legislators, who manifest desire
to do right and enact just laws, and they
know us. We have learned to appreciate
each other while fighting shoulder to
shoulder the battles of hate, prescription
and oppression waged upon them by the
Picay,1ne and its allies. They have learned
in those dire struggles, that the REPUB-
L1cAN is ever their honest friend, even
when it censures; and they have learned
that when the class the Picoyune repre-
sents condescends to advise them, it is for
the most selfish OF ends or to mislead and
deceive.
We. too. have learned something
through this intercourse with these ''hon-
estly disposed colored people, and that
is that the Picay,ne and its kind of "intel-
ligence, wealth. morality and industry"
might safely 60. in all humbleness of
spirit. to these yet partially ostracised
people and learn valuable lessons of in
tegrity. consistency and truthfulness.

forces work slowly, it is not amiss to try
the preventive plan proposed by Sen
ator Stamps, a man whose short public
career has been distinguished by an en-
lightened regard for the best interests OF
the community. People have unquestion-
ably right to renounce portion oftheir
individual liberty, for the promotion OF
common good; and what portion of per
sonal liberty could be. more probably
relinquished than the privilege of get
ting drunk in a grog shop on Sunday?

1t will be seen the Picaytne admits hav-
ing earned the opprobious title of ''bond-
holders organ" although it derives con-
ISOLATION from the hope that it can give the
REPUBLICAN a bad name, too, although
neither we nor the public will admit that
its designation is justly bestowed. We
quote from its edition Of last evening:
The REPUBLICAN continues it's scurrilous
illusions to the Picayu',e as the bondholders
organ. 1t is shabby trick of a journal
which has far more Justly earned the desig.
natien of THE Organ of the Plunderers
