profits on common goods with less sus-

There is also an improvement that the
cooperative stores may make. 1t is to set
the fashion Of selling down to one cents
worth of their goods. 1t is not difficult
to introduce this economy, and it is one
greatly needed among poor people, and
would effect a great economy in our need.
There is but one difficulty in the co-opera-
tive enterprise. and that is very serious
one. 1t is to secure good agents. The

This. however, is a secondary consider

conducted must tend greatly to relieve
the laboring poor. As our concern is
chiefly for that class upon whose labor at

Whenever they shall be rich enough or

their fealty to France As a great manv

DANGER TO THE REPUBLICANS,


The P'cayune has the following para
graph:
1t is reported that Mr.. Brice Sem re and
MIR. Theze. French citizens, engaged. in bust.
moss in this city, have been cOnscripted in
France. where they had gone to attend to
business matters.
The extreme vigilance of France in SUBJ
jecting to military service all upon whom
she can have any claim lends color of
probability to this startling item of news.
We can not assume it to be true, and
sincerely hope it is not true. These gen.
tlemen, to us personally unknown, no
doubt comprise portion of the fifteen
thousand alien males whom the REpuBLI-
CAN was the first to show were domiciled
among US, not entitled to vote but enjoy
ing the undisputed right to express their
opinions upon the very inferior institutions
OF the republic. This privileged class,
perhaps, reached its maximum during the
last war, when more than thirty thousand
aliens under foreign protection resided in
New Orleans.
The commercial advantages OF private
position were very great, as it caused a
very valuable exemption from military
risk or seizure. With vigilant consul
the alien could conduct trade as neutral
and confidential agent of citizens exposed
to risk in the varying fortunes of war
which sometimes imperiled the Unionist
and the Confederate.
The vigilance of France, however, has
placed her subjects abroad under some
embarrassment, so that they can no longer
smile upon the controversies of this un.
fortunate republic and sympathize with
the civil wars Of their own fellow-citizens.
The military order is rather snap iudg
ment upon those patriotic SONS of Alsace
and Lorraine who two years since chose
French nationality before the French con.
sui here. 1t is hard that the evidence
OF their loyalty should be the register
OF their military obligations. This posi-
ton, however, has compelled the alien to
decide whether he will run the risk of
consumption as the gentlemen mentioned
seem to have done, whenever they return
70 their own country, or whether they
thall undergo the degradation of Ameri-
can citizenship. We rather infer from
the apparent reduction of numbers of
this class, under the late census, that the
military rigor Of France has had its effect,
and we rather fear that these gentlemen

In proportion as the Republican party
