SEVERE SATIRE.

The Cincinnati Commercial, in its con-
sistent war against the Mississippi river and
all internal improvements which do not
promise to cross the bridge at the sepul-
chre OF swine, gives fling at the South
EN- Pacific railroad:
The project of a Southern Pacific rail
way, with New Orleans as its eastern ter
minus; the assumption of the work OF con
structing the lsvees of the Mississippi with
an appropriation annually from three TO six
millions of dollars; the appropriat on OF
fifty or sixty millions OF dollars for the
Jeems river canal and q tunnel nine miles
long, and az much more for the digging of
a canal iIon the Tennessee river to the
South Atlantic coast. at point near Sa-
vannah, WILL undoubtedly, receive the en-
thuiiastic support of several of the ex-
Confederate Generals the South has hon
Ored the lost canse by sending to the House
of Representatives. 1t is affecting to think
OF the solicitude these ancient warriors have
recently conceived for the treasury Of the
United States.
The Commercial does not know the pain
its infiicts upon the Southern Democracy
by intimating for q moment that they
would forego their ancient and honored
opposition to internal improvements by
advocating such gigantic schemes as
those referred to by the Commercial.
When, however, this cold blooded cut is
accompanied with sardonic sheer at the
national Democracy at the North, who
are bound to stand by them in works OF
such magnitude, it imputes q very extra
ordinary derelicton from fundamental
principles. This memorable cutter thrusts
the gimlet knife of his satire some inches
deeper into his Democratic victim, and
actually gives it twist, the fend, in the
mental wound already inflicted upon the
Democratic consistency. The Commercial
thinks these Southern Democrats will
expect the aid especially Of such Northern
Democrats as want an excuse for making
money plenty by setting the government
printing presses to coming it out Of paper.
Now we ask the Democratic organs here
if there can possibly be Democrats who
are in favor of issuing irredeemable cur
rency? If that be so, then the democrat
lied Democracy would carry on internal
improvements by the federal government
with paper money. Shades Of Calhoun
and jackson! "Ish dot so?"

every unworthy sentiment found in the
minds of bad men-the intolerance of
church fanatics on the one hand and the
prejudice against color on the other.
The solution of the color question is
found to be more difficult in New Orleans
than in any other city. If we could know
who is who, which Of our people are black
and which white, the color lines could be
easily drawn. Right here the chief diff
Guilty comes in. The mischief of amalga.
nation commenced long before the Yam
KEGS came with Butler. The shame com.
menced with the old citizens of Louisiana,
men who claimed responsibility in their
day and generation. Many of our bright
nulattoes bear the names and have in
their veins the blood of the Oldest and
best white residents OF Louisiana. Per-
haps the negro women were to blame for
fascinating aud leading these good men
astray; but the fruits Of the combinations
are left, and those who are without sin
must suffer, and out of respect for the old
sinners, many of whom are still alive,
they should suffer as silently as possible.
We do not know that an African ever
volunteered to leave his native land for
the purpose of becoming an American
slave in Louisiana, and we do not know
that any of our mulatto men Or women
ever made a request to be born. The
Shareholders are responsible for the pres
ence here of the African race, and the old
white citizens Of Louisiana are response
BILE for the American-African amalgama-
ton. These people are here, not from
their own volition, and humanity and
Christianity demands that they should be
made useful and enlightened citizens.
So long as foolish prejudice against
color exists, those who are little shady
can not be blamed for trying to attain
white position in society, and We have
been informed, without surprise, that
number of men most vehement and clam
orous for race distinctions, and a return
to the star car system, and other absurd
and intolerant regulations based on rreju-
dice, were themselves slightly "off color"
ard that prominent members of the White
League were in the same condition. It
has been reported that doubtful boy of
one school joined in a boys raid to put
his colored sister out OF mother school.
This illustrates the painful difficulty of
drawing the color lines in New Orleans,
and it is most unfortunate that our Demo
cratic neighbors should choose the public
schools for battle ground, and very I'M
wise to call Republicans disciples of the
amalgamation of the white and black
races.

OF Mississippi carry the war out Of Africa?
Why do they not fly from victory to VIC
tory, as did the eagles of Napoleon?
Orators are constantly invited from one
State to advocate party interests in other
States. Hon. Mr.. Schurz was recalled
from visit to Germany to sustain the
cause of honest money, against the dere-
lict Democracy who cast dirt onthe tombs
OF Old Bullion and of Andrew jackson.
Why is not the same tactics proper with
the field battery? The Democratic cap
tain with his company, or the lieutenant
with his section, might be sent to
strengthen Democracy at any precinct in
New Jersey or Pennsylvania. WHY'S not
this done? Simply because those Repub-
lican men of New Jersey or Pennsylvania
have guns themselves and know how to
use them. Catch Democracy in attacking
force equal to its own. They have too
much discretion. Show them a public
Office to be captured by an exhibition or
exercise of superior force, and it will be
occupied as soon as o force can be wheeled
in battery.
We are compelled to say that such hyp-
ocritical tactics is humiliating to tue
brave and chivalrous character which the
Southern people, in common with all
Americans, have manifested. It was the
Roman maxim to spare the weak and war
against the strong The Democracy seem
to have reversed this principle of warfare.
As for the violence exhibited in the
Mississippi canvass, and the persecution
of Republicans since the election we are
satisfied twill be SC exposed by telegraph
that the people of the United States will
condemn such con luct. We would, how
ever, remind our Democratic fellow citi-
zens that they have recognized in the
most solemn form the right Of suffrage
and representation in the negro. Under
this recognition they have received am
nesty and an increase of politicallepresen,
ldtlol Ill iiEil VA lhAo Wei
Mississippi sends five or six representa-;
tives to Congress, where but for this re-
cognition she would send but two or three.
We ask in seriousness, is this honorable?
To accept this extension of human rights,
by the constitution; to take double rep
resentation in consequence of these rights
and then to drive away and deny to these
benefactors the enjoyment of those rights
which have conferred such advantage is
not chivalrous, nor is it in any sense just.
1t will be, of course, denied that this
has been canvass with cannon. History
and testimony must decide this question.
We should be gratified to see any portion
of the American people relieved from such
charges as are now made against them,
but We must be pardoned for believing,
with the present evidences, that the de-
feat of a Republican majority of thirty
thousand has been greatly aided if not
mainly effected in Mississippi by the ar
tillery canvass of the State before the
election.

Tammany is dead. Here is what Tam
many says for itself:

Tammany is dead. Here is what Tam
many says for ITSELF
Resolred, That Tammany Hall, as at pres
ent organized, will hereafter continue to be,
as it has ever been, the rallying point where
will be found all who believe in and uphold
pure and undetiled Democracy, and to
which we invite all honest, true and worthy
Democrats.
Democracy in Louisiana would never,
perhaps, publish this faring and auda-
cious affront 10 pnblic sentiment. 1t
spreads the report that Tammany is no
more, and exhorts our people to fly to a
national Democracy which is pure and
indebted for refuge from party which is
prosecuting all the whisky mills and mill
ers in the land. Does Democracy desire
to promote public morality, or by allow
ing frauds to stimulate the production of
cheap and crooked whisky? Let Nasty
answer.
We warn the public that Tammany is
not dead, but, ''as at present organized,
the rallying point for all pure and unde-
filed Democracy"

AMALGAMATION,

100 many amalSateu drinks are apt 10
amalgamate the ideas of mans mind.
There are many people in our city who
appear to be mixed, badly mixed. They
are constantly on the lookout for some
thing terrible, and like the men who look
for snakes in their boots, they generally
find terrible something. To find some
thing is relief to the small minds of
small men; the anxiety and strain of
search is over. Heavens! husband" said
an old wife, ''there is a man under the
bedr' THANK the Lord" said the old
husband; "you have been looking for
that man for twenty years" The Repub-
lican party has made it possible for oil
children to have equal privileges, under
the law, in getting an education. Two
little colored girls are found studying at a
school attended by white children, and
our Democratic neighbors raise the I'M
truthful ely that Republicans are sinners,
that they are amalgamationists miscege-
nationists, or anything else as bad. They
talk of indignation meetings-the panacea
for all ills-and of the last straw break
ing the camels back, allowing as figure
of speech that such back can be broken
by such straw.
Regarding the question of mixed schools,
we say many of the Republican friends of
education in this city are opposed to edu-
eating black and white children in the
same schools. provided separate schools,
equally good, can be maintained for each
race. The two classes require somewhat
different methods of instruction. The
being separated in school hours, however,
will not prevent the self-chosen associa-
ton in hours Of recreations. We believe
that all Republicans, and the friends of
universal education generally, are in favor
of educating the whites and blacks in diff
ferent rooms. The school laws say no
distinction shall be made on account of
color, which reading makes the mixing of
schools possible, because it was found a
prejudice existed against educating the
colored child. Perhaps it exists yet. The
Democratic bachelor does not pay his
school tax cheerfully, because he. believes
it is wasted educating young negroes. If
the crimes of murder. and theft had never
been committed, it is probable the pages

bered with sections defining the degrees of
punishment for such offsnses. Crimes
were always ahead Of the law; and new
crimes brought new laws. Whatever laws
have been enacted since the war for the
protection of the colored man and his
family were necessary, and the result of
outrages against powerless people.
States had to be reconstructed under mil
itary rule and schools for colored children
established by the Freedmen's Bureau.
The Confederate Democracy contested all
progress toward educating the masses,
step by step. They do SO now, and will
not understand that races will become
better and more useful in proportion Is
they are enlightened BY education. It is
the policy of the Democratic party to be
constantly endeavoring to break up the
public schools and impair their useful
meas. In their efforts to keep children
blind and ignorant and rear up Demo-
cratic yotsrs they enlist the services Of

The Confederate brigadiers who escaped
the perils of the field and hospital only to
encounter the dangers of Washington are
daily receiving most excellent advice.
Promising, rs 2 matter of course, that
they are all ignorant of their duties and
the wants of the people, the Democratic
papers are instructing them as to whom
they must support for Speaker, Clerk,
Sergeant alarms, etc., of the House. The
Democracy has at last fallen heir to a
small flake OF national patronage and, like
hen with one chicken, is unduly excited
about it. They will be chattering about
this Speakership business till one wing or
the other of their Northern allies joins
with the Republicans and elects General
Banks or some other eminently fit man.
When we come to consider that no Demo-
crat that has been named in connec-
ton with the position is acceptable
outside of his little set; that Kerr,
Randall, Sunset Cox, Fernando Wood
and several aspirants from the Southern
States are more bitterly opposed to each
other than to out and out Republicans,
we think it quite likely the Republicans
will have something to say. The Ohio
and New York elections are generally re-
garded as a general Jail delivery for all
Democratic politicians who were endeav.
ing to perfect themselves in policy of
fixed principles. Imitation was defeated
in Ohio and contraction went down in
disgrace in New York-both over-freighted
with odious records on other questions.

VERY MUCH MIXED,

The Picayune has figured at the school
question until it has obtained the follow
ing satisfactory result
In the matter of the reorganization of the
city school board it would seem that NJ
further action is contemplated for the
present, and this in the face of popular
demand which is strongly backed by not
only our own people but by many of the
most influential leaders of the Republican
party in our city.
1t is said that Governor Kellogg will now
take the school question in hand and force
the members OF the city board, a number of
whom holy appointments under him, to
either thoroughly reorganize or step down
and out.
When people pay their money for cor
rect intelligence they like very much to
get the authentic article, and here they
have it. All classes of people are suit
ed. The man who thinks there has been
enough ignorant intermeddling with the
schools by sectarian and partisan enemies,
will be clad to learn that no further action is
contemplated "for the present" while the
orators and newspaper writer's, who have
overestimated their ability to lead the
people by the nose, will find consolation
in the assurance that the Governor "will
now take the school question in hand and
force the members to thoroughly reorgan-
ize' (sic). Thus all will be satisfied and
everybody made happy, and the Picayune
will be again ahead of all it's contempo-
raries, except those who have had the
forethought to prophesy on both sides
also.
