His orders were conditional; their carry
out left to his own discretion. Whether
his visit here had political consequences
or not he was not prepared at that time
to say, and certainly if he were, would
not have given the informa ton requested
(if an interview be not rather demand
than a request) to a mere reporter 10
do so would have been unprecedented.
He therefore gave such an answer as bis
Judgment dictated; and it was a very
suitable one.
The system of interviewing is as detest-
able as the word that describes it. Both
are irregular and unwarranted; and as
for justifying the thing signifed by the
odious word on the ground of center
prise" that will not do. As a rule, an in
terview is either an intrusion, presump-
tuously based upon the public interests as
represented by the press, such as the one
with General Sheridan, above mentioned,
or it is ruse by which some disingenuous
politician seeks to sound the public
opinion or to get his own opinions in
formally made public. In either case it has
no substantial value as news; it is simply
reportorial gossip, and should be so re-
garded and not otherwise. The inter
view usually relates not to matters of fact,
but to those of opinion not to what has
heen done. but to what NAV possibly be
done; and no man is bound by what he
is induced to say under such cir
cumstances The contingency treated of
may never occur, or may occur with 30
many Unforeseen accessories that the line
of conduct agreed to may be altogether in
appropriate. Therefore, there are few
sights more ridiculous than number Of
eager individuals porting over the re-
portorial columns of an enterprising daily,
discussing can interview"

THE LOYAL PRESS ON THE LOUISIANA
TROUBLES.

We call the attention of our readers to
the extracts which we publish in another
part of to-day's REPUBLICAN from our
Northern and Western exchanges. twill
be seen that despite the Misrepresentation
and denunciations with which the North
has been flooded during the past week
regarding the momentous events which
have occurred in this city, the loyal press
of that section remains as true to the
cause of justice, free speech, law, order
and legitimate government to-day as it
did during the eventful years extending
from 1860 to 1865. 1t has not been our
good fortune to receive through the agency
of the Associated Press the expression of
anything except straight-out Democratic
or Weakened Republican papers,
although we are compelled to pay the
same as though we received something we
wanted. 1t is a pleasure TO us to to-day
present the impartial expression of that
portion of the Northern press which
speaks for the honesty, wealth and intelli-
gence of this nation, although we are
compelled to wait for the mails in order
to do it.

SYMPATHY AT LONG RANGE.

The reporters Of the Associated Press
are just now as busy as hill of ants in
hunting up stray crumbs of comfort to
send to our White League Democracy to
sustain them in their rebellion against
the State authority. The Republicans
have generally remained unmoved at the
sight of all this avalanche of manufac-
tured sympathy at long range, and have

PEACE IN THE WORLD.

1t is believed the year 1875 will see more
men under arms in Europe than ever be-
fore; not in actual warfare, it is true, but
engaged in the peace of preparation. The
improved arms adopted call for the school
ing OF the soldier, and it takes a newly
educated man for new weapon. The
long range guns require long range SOL
diers to make them effective. And SO
what is called by those in authority in
Europe an era of peace, is really time
for drilling and nursing armies. Austria
has an active army of about 900, 900 men,
with means for adding largely to it by the
landwehr. Russia has divided its empire
into CONSUMPTION districts, and is enrolling
an army which will be the largest in
Europe. The military System there is
similar to that of Germany. Sunny Italy
has an amy of 737, 514 men, and it also
has the white elephant, the Pope. France,
with power to call into service all men
ranging in age from twenty mine to forty
years, is a vast garrison, with the soldiers
at parade rest. Her estimate is that
100000 Frenchmen can be put in the
field with little coaxing. Germany is the
model war power. 1t has the science of
the art of war to perfection, and every
man is a soldier under the new landsturn
method of enrolment. OF Spain it is
difficult to say what is, or what is not, its
army Its main strength is in Cuba, and
the Spanish soldier is constantly employed
in doing police duty within its own Dor
ders.
A look at home shows the United States
with over 100000 people, and an
army of only 25, 600 men, which is bat a
corporal's guard in proportion to territory
and population. 1t is as one soldier in
every 1000 civilians, and without White
Leaguers and Indians it would be found
ample for ordinary purp oses. In time Of
peace soldering is irksome to the Ameri-
can, and no special Undue ements are Of
fered for enlistment; but the new regula-
ton by which soldier can deposit a
portion of his wages with the pay depart.
ment is having a good effect. 1t will
prevent assertions, and otherwise improve
the morals of the army, for man some
how feels better and behaves better wher
he considers himself banker. Ovel
$500, 900 were saved last year by our sol
diers; the amount being held in trust BY
the pay department until the soldiers en-
listment expires or earlier demand.
The United States is supplying tn,
world with weapons and ammunitions o
war, and yet has enough for home use
and men in plenty to use them. If foreigl
powers are disturbed with war and rumor
of wars, the American Union is at peac
with all the world. The local disturbance
where turbulent few fan the fires of tn
| expiring rebellion, and take up arms +
right fancied wrongs, have retarded tn
prosperity of the States in which they oC
cur; but much is hoped from wiser an
better legislation, and the belief and hop
that men may become more reasonabl
| than Warlike.

JUDGE DIBBLBIs LBTTBR.

The somewhat remarkable letter Of
Judge Dibble, Assistant Attorney General,
TO Hon. Charles Foster, which was pub
lished in the Democratic papers Of this
city yesterday morning, was the subject
of considerable comment during the day.
We conversed with very few who took the
view of the matter which is expressed by
Mr.. Dibble, and we feel authorized to say
that the opinion is his individually, and
is not held by the leading Republicans of
the State.
Governor Kellogg yesterday received a
dispatch from Attorney General Field at
Washington. asking whether the Governor
Endorsed the letter ofMr. Dibble. Inreply,
the Governor most emphatically disclaimed
any endorsement Of the letter, and stated
that Mr.. Dibble published it in the Demo
cratic papers alone, without consulting
him or other leading Republicans on the
subject. His own views are in direcl
opposition to Mr.. Dihble's on the ssatus
Of the State government.

Judge Dibble, as attorney for the Re-
publican party before the congressional
committee, omitted to develop one point
in examining the White League leaders,
which would have gone far to establish
his charge of the revolutionary objects of
that organization in the minds of all i'm
partial men. 1t is simply this: If the
League is designed for defensive purposes
against the blood-thirsty Radicals, and as
conservators of the peace solely, as claim
ed by General Ogden and his associates,
why is it that their greatest strength is to
be found in parishes and sections where
Republicans are numerically weakest.
Why in Orleans, in VIM, in jackson, in
Claiborne or st. Tammany parishes, where
by numbers alone the white Democrats
can successfully overawe and intimidate
their Republican antagonists, are the
Leaguers found to be the best drilled, best
armed and appointed; while it ST. John, st
Charles, Tensas, and dozen other great
and rich agricultural centers, where the
negroes outnumber the whites from two to
a score to one, the League scarce has q
foothold, and peace reigns secure, and life
and property are safe.
The significant and undeniable fact
must not be overlooked by our congress
sional friends in making up their opinion
of our domestic troubles and their causes.

The Bulletin makes the following ex-
cerpts from recent official publications:
1.-THE lives of citizens have become so
jeOpardized that unless something is done
to give protection to the people, all security
us ually afforded by law will be overridden."
Sheridan, JanNdry4 4.
1.-The city is perfectly quiet No trouble
is apprehended." -SkeTtddn january.
This illustrates what brave, firm and
determined officer, backed by force
which even the vainglorious rebel organ
izations of this city have been taught to
respect, can accomplish in the short space
of three days. On Monday peace loving
Americans scarce dared to walk our
streets; with Sheridan guarantee of safe
guard, on Thursday a Republican could
go wherever he deemed proper, as the
laws of his government give him the right
to do Thank God and Grant for Sher-
idan!
