EXECUTIVE EOUANIMITY,

The day will come when the man who
paroled the prisoners at Vicksburg, &C.
cepted with courtesy the capitulation at
Appomattox, interviewed to protect the
captains of the Confederacy from a po-
litical trial, and who recommended and
signed the act of general amnesty, will be
regarded as among the most moderate and
unambitious men WHO have ever accepted
power for public purposes and laid it
down when the public object had been
attained 1t is, perhaps, only by imagin-
ing what pain might have been inflicted
and what injustice done by the exercise of
q vindictive temper and ambitious zeal,
that We can realize the value of a calm
and well balanced character.
Those who have prated of Caesarism
and imputed to the President design to
prosecute claim to continue in the ad-
ministration of the government beyond
the period sanctioned by Republican ex-
ample. will, of course acknowledge no
virtue in political opponent. 1t will be
remembered, however, that the probable
condition of the Southern States was al
legged as reason why General Grant
would not renounce his alleged purpose
of continuous service. 1t was said by the
opposition that his Satellites" were busy
in fomenting these disturbances, in order
that new necessity might be created for
executive intervention, and renewed de-
mapd might be made by the partisans of
the executive for the use of his
name and military ability in re-
storing peace with the sword.
Accident, or the plot of the White League
has furnished the President, or his parti-
sans, if he had such, with the exact oppor-
tunity which it was said that he and they
sought to create. Governor Ames, of Mis-
sissippi exercised his undoubted duty
under the constitution, and called for fed
sral aid. The President did not refuse
hat aid. He could not have done 20. |
But did he seize upon this excuse and |
'recipitate forces upon the State of
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-09-21
He caused Governor Ames

Mississippi? He caused Governor Ames
himself to rescind his action, and satisfy
himself whether the alleged insur-
rection could be suppressed by the
authority OF the State itself. The
Democracy FASTENED to testify that there
was no disturbance prevailing. They ten
dered armed force to the Governor to sup
press any violence, and mounting terri
fed negro upon mule, they sent into the
woods and swamps to recall the laborers,
fugitive for fear of the armed Democracy.
been in all this We can not tell. If, how
ever, President Grant had been the grasp
ing usurper he has been tancifully painted
on the Democratic transparencies, he
would have never hesitated to have acted
upon the first impressions of Governor
Ames, and the State of Mississippi would
have been a camp.
The country is greatly indebted to the
equanimity Of the chief magistrate both
at home and abroad. lie is not moved
by false alarms, has no auimosities and
no approhensions. If politicians were Ca
pable of one just or generous emotion,
We should expect an acknowledgment of
the forbearance and justice Of the Presi-
dent. As it is, however, they will only
turn from enc point demonstrated to be
impregnable, to begin their insidious de-
signs upon another.

THE GALVESTON INUNDATIoN.

Where the sea has once been the Sea
may be again, and the location of u city
upon a sand spit renders its situation al
ways precarious, unless protected by
entertainments impregnable to storms.
We sincerely regret the misfortune of our
sister city. We say this without mental
reservation Of any sort, because we have
never regarded one Gulf port as the rival
of another. All together can not con-
duct the commerce that ought to be
developed between the Northwest and
the tropics. New York, Baltimore and
Philadelphia lie along lineal distance
of less than two hundred miles. They
subsist population of some two
and half millions. How, then, can our
little Gulf cities, our own included, be in
the way of each other, when they are all
separated by as great or greater distances !?
We give these reasons why We need the
cooperation of Galveston, Pensacola and
Mobile. We need their competition, just
as the Atlantic cities of the East have
been so much promoted by the compoti-
ton between the various lines of connec-
ton with the interior. There can not be
permanent monopoly in America OF any
thing that is worth monopolizing, and so
the policy of all our Southern cities should
be as cordial and cooperative as possible
We therefore repeat our expressions of
regret for the injury which our sister city
has incurred, and hope that measures will
be taken to relieve to the extent of our
impaired abilities the misfortunes for
which no human negligence could be held
responsible.
The sympathies of New Orleans will be
the more sincere because she has suffered
by the misrepresentation of her health,
Of her peace and of her prospects. No
sooner does the season of travel and mer-
camille purchase commence that New Or
leans is heralded by every drummer and
railroad runner as afflicted with deadly
epidemic. In the intervals of business
intercourse New Orleans is reported
as delivered over to riot and social
disturbances We need not enlarge on
our especial grievances; it is sufficient
to say that when Galveston shall find
those who wish to succeed to the inheri-
lance of her trade opening her succession
with doleful assertion of the irretrievable
ruin of her affairs, she will realize some
thing from which New Orleans has suffered
for many years past
But we trust our sister city will soon
arise and resume her position among the
Gulf ports, and aid in contending for the
conversion Of the tropical trade from the
cross railroads and Eastern ports to the
ports of our own Gulf States and those of
the great markets of the South seas.

The disappointment of the many iris nds
of the Juniata Club on Sunday morning
last, when the announcement was made
that no trains would leave New OIlsans
that day on account of the almoet certain
detention to be expected at the New canal,
now carried beyond the track of the Mobile
road, was bitter one, but all agreed that
Superintendent Robinson displayed good
judgment in postponing the excursion until
next Sunday morning, thereby avoiding
many weary hours delay, and an anything
but pleasant tramp through half over
flowed swamp. Mr.. Robinson, by concen-
trating his force at the interruption, and
working night and day, has overcome all
-@i6isalties, and trains are now running reg
ulsrly. 1t is not often that we are obliged
- ehfoaicle IN Interruption to travel ON
Iris hrst class road. and We are glad to be
able to Inform the public when it Is re-
moved. Sleeping cars ON this road resumed
>hsir regular trips en- Sunday night, and
now run through to Louisville, Washing ton
nd Baltimore without change.

TROUBLE IN EAST FELICIANA,

We have before us letter from well
known Republican who lives in East Fell.
ciana, which informs us that there is q
considerable amount of wrong and op-
preston practised there against the col
ored people. We learn that such men as
R. r. Ray, John Gair and T. NJ. ]. Clark
are out of the parish because it is not safe
for them to remain at home. Although
there are some good men among the Dem
ocrats who do not approve of this cease
less persecution of colored people, they
are powerless to restrain the disorderly.
They are, therefore, obliged to stand with
folded hands and witness scenes which
disgrace the justice and degrade the man
hood of those engaged in them. All the
usual means of intimidation and ostracism
are resorted to for the purpose of depriving
the colored people Of their white advisers.
Both races are fully aware that without
white officers the Republican army of
voters will be paralyzed for any practical
good. They can not, as yet, conduct a
campaign without the aid of white Repub-
licans, and the Democrats appreciate the
value of the services rendered as they wage
unrelen,ing war upon all who fraternize
in any manner with the colored men, or
tell them they have the same political
rights as white men. The houses of lead
ing colored men have been searched, and
the occupants beaten and driven forth as
fugitives 1t is the same old tale, which
has been told a thousand times. If we
were to tell our readers that bad men are
at it again in East Feliciana, they would
instantly comprehend the whole matter,
for these cases run in classes. One is SO
like the other that repeated descriptions
weary by their monotopy.
There are but two effectual remedies
for these autumnal outbreaks. One is q
voluntary return to political virtue by
those who are making themselves very
aisagreeable. We leave the other, which
Is sufficiently obvious, to the imagination
'f those who are interested in the matter
