Although the rivers here yesterday were not
much impeded, the bay was considerably OBJ

the exception of the middle buoy have been
displaced by ice. ..... r-.... ..-

Schenck's Almanac, containing the certificates of
many persons of the highest responsibility who have

which DR.. Schenck provides for the purpose. These
additional remedies are Schencks Sea Weed Tonic

the street as equally unauthorized" with
Weed warrants. The Republican party
has right also TO draw q moral from the
same unworthy combination. 1t is that
the Republican party is always open to
those who may in good faith embrace its
doctrines. Its Offices are accessible to all
sound Republicans Of undoub.ed in
tegrity and competency. 1t is wholly
useless, then, to form fusion combina-
tons, or to say, II am of Paul. or II OF
Apollos." The gospel of the Republican
party is simple 1t requires little note or
comment Its doctrines require no modif-
cation, and its title no sutfix. This is bet
ter than the exposed treachery under which
the Democracy of Louisiana is upbrading
its members for having cheated in the cleo
tons Of 1872, and which has dispersed
the antagonist tribes around the pay
table at Washington. Let the Repub.
lican party, then, profit by the failure of
the Democracy to take in all the anti
Republicans, and have, like the Union
which it upholds, zone name, one doc
trine, and one destiny"

A sHRAPNEL,

AS new brooms sweep clean, SO new
boots sometimes excoriate and blister the
wearer. The New Orleans Democrat has
been told that 'the Republican party has
had absolute control of Louisiana for
nearly ten years, - and says:
The present condition of the levees, the
drainage, the State prison, the markets and
the slaughterhOuses, can be distinctly
traced TO their corrupt and inefficient gov
eminent.
When the New Orleans Democrat shall
be informed that the levees are under the
control Of an anti-Republican corpora
ton; the State prisoners in great part are
at work building a railroad under the ex-
cellent direction of officers who have
nothing to do with the government; when
the fact shall pip the editorial eggshell
that the markets are under the control of
q Democratic administration, and that the
Slaughterhouse monopoly is not in Re-
publican hands, perhaps some acknowl-
edgement of inadvertent error may be
due to strictly historal accuracy.
But shrapnel which has been e.
ploded in this snti-Republcan caisson.
1t blew up the fixed ammunition which
has supplied the Democratic batteries,
clubs, professions, campaign funds, which
has recently, on to Sabbath morning, oc-

Southern Democracy would applaud this
unsparing economy. The Shreveport
Times says:
We are, perhaps, as earnest advocates OF
the Texas and Pacific railway bill as there
are in the South
The appropriation of federal money to
build roads is or is not constitutional. II
it is, then were the Democratic fathers,
who opposed all such works, in error.
The first great national road was ties. OF
political principle, and Henry Clay was
denounced by the Democracy as FEEDER
alist for his advocacy of that work In
like manner the Democratic supporters Of
Horace Greeley, the protectionist, .vindi-
cate the constitutional construction of the
same great leader.
The Southern Democrat is, however, "a
chartered libertine." He takes either side
of any measure and avows his adhesion to
or adherence of any man according as his
interests may dictate. Mr.. Calhoun poet
ically called the Mississippi "a great in
LAM sea- This title can not be main.
tanned in any one attribute Of an ocean or
an estuary. It is no more an inland sea
than the Hudson. Under this metaphor
ical image we have seen the Democratic
party adyocatinga protection levee, which
would guard and guarantee the cotton
planter more effectually than tariff could
protect the cotton manufacturer. We
have found the followers of Benton on
their knees, with their heads thrown back,
their hands outspread and their lips vol
uble in prayer, imploring more paper
money, and now We have the spectacle Of
Southern Democrats advocating an appro-
priation for o national road which will
cost about six times the cost OF admins
tering the federal government in the days
when Henry Clay was Secretary Of State.
Would it not be simpler form of faith
if the Democracy should adopt some such
programme as this:
Resoleed, That the Democratic party in
the South are perfectly pure in morals. in
fallible IN judgment, and exclusively COM
petent TO administer the offices of the fed.
eral and State governments.
Resolred, That any individual daring to
call in question any Of these political predi.
Gates, snail be DISTINGUISHED and put un-
der interdict in his social and business rela-
tions, and that any number of individuals
who shall associate themselves in opposition
to this doctrine shall be deemed in rebellion
to the Democratic party, and condemned to
death or exile

cupied the face of various city news
papers, and has extended benevolent aid
to yacht races, horse races and dramatic
amusements.
We allude of course to the charge by
the Democrat that no allusion was made
by the city newspapers to the anti-lo.tery
report of the grand jury, in April last.
Now this torpedo may infict infinite
damage upon the Democratic cause. 1t
is all very well for little country papers
to attack this mammoth institution, but
we expect to see no more reference to it in
the Democrat. 1t has, done its duty, and
there let the matter rest. The shrapnel
damage may be readily repaired but it
need not be repeated.

TIE WEED WARRANTS.

The proceedings of the Funding Board
on Wednesday may be regarded as final
disposition Of the Weed warrants. A
committee has made an examination into
the history Of these papers, and briefly
declares them to be fraudulent, and show
abundant reason for such conclusion
This report was promptly adopted by the
board, notwithstanding the Auditor tried
to soften it down little by Offering a
minority report, intended to diminish the
percentage of fraud, and suggests that the
warrants be rejected as unauthorized, :"
instead of fraudulent. THIS proposal
received no favor, and the vote of the ma
jority prevailed.
