NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY, MARCH p, 1875

p aceful and statesnlanlke policy must be urged
ny sll the means which the party yet has at COM
mand. Its press must faithfully and fearlessly
represent the opinions of its best clements. Its
conventions in the several States must speak
frankly, and nominate wisely. These steps are
for the Republican party no longer merely de-
sirable they necessary.
Its very existence depends upon a certain
measure of confidence in its disposition and
ability to effect reforms which the people have
plainly demanded Ii it fails to show the dispo
stlon it viii be beaten. If it fails to inspire con-
fdence il its ability TO succeed, it will fall
Many thousands Of voters who desire practical
reforms above all things, if they become con-
vinced that the Republican party cannot succeed,
VIII attach thems Ives to tbs better element OF
Democrats and endeavOr to secure with them
control Of the Democratic organization.
All this sounds like business, but even if
the advice is taken it will amount to nothing.
The Radical craft has been so badly handled,
SO wildly sailed, so unwisely laden and SO
wretchedly abused, that no unloading Of con-
traband cargo, no tossing overheard of mutt
neers, no change Of officers or crew, and no
alteration of course can now save the steven,
dismantled, waterlogged, mastless and rud-
derless hull from total loss.

A REMARKABLE SCHEME.

We must sometimes so abroad to learn news
of home. The following remarks from the Chi
cago Times, OF the 18th inst, would seem to in
dictate knowledge of scheme which, if known
here, is not generally discussed q scheme too,
that we fancy there VIII be no little difficulty in
carrying out successfully;
The Louisiana Arbitration Committee has 80
arranged matters that there will be tic vote in
the Legislature Of that State which VIII, of
course, give the Lieutenant Governor an I'M
mense power Oh all questions where party lines
are strictly drawn. Tho Lieutenant-Governor il
Antoine, negro a man Of no great force of
character, who will no doubt be plant tool Of
the Radical ring at New Orleans.
The latest proposition regarding the Senator
ship show. how badly the Conservatives want to
get rid Of Kellogg. They propose to elect him
to the United states Senate in place Of Pitch
back, provided Antoine wi resign, giving the
Goyernorshlp to Penn, who was elected on the
Conservative ticket in l672 1t is not likely how
ever, that this arrangement will b. carried out,
e. there are too many obstacles, legaI and per-
sonal, in It's way.

JOHN Mitchell.

The news of the sudden death of this
distinguished Irish patriot and thoroughly
earnest man will be heard with deep sorrow,
not only by his compatriots, but by the hosts
of native born Americans to whom he had
endeared himself by his many noble and I'M
selfish traits of character. BY the people of
the South, whose cause he espoused with all
the enthusiasm of his generous heart, his
untimely death will be felt as the loss of a
lifelong and dearly beloved friend.
To his countrynlen, to avenge whose
wrongs he braved the horrors of felon s
cell, and who had Just testified
with so much unanimity and enthusiasm their
admiration of the man, it will be a source OF
deep and lasting sorrow.
Our limited space does not allow US to pre-
sent in this mornings issue sketch Of Mr.
Mitchels eventful life in both hemspheres,
but we shall avail ourselves of the earliest
opportunity to pay our humble tribute to one
who was personally known to us, and whose
brilliant achievements in the field of Jour
nalism gave him peculiar claims to our respect
and esteem.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM MIR.
POTTER

Gov Jno. McEnery has kindly placed the
following letter from Hon. Garrison n Potter
at our disposal It's rather late in the day
perhaps to publish an explanation Of the kind,
but, nevertheless, the letter will be read with
interest. Had Gen. Gordon and Mr. Potter
seen tit to contradict the unauthorized state
ment that they were in favor of compromise
Immediately after such statements were made
and they were informed of the fact, the
majority of one could never have been secured
to indorse this Wheeler surrender They
have spoken too late for their words to excite
anything but r,gret and surprise that they
should not, in matter of such vast import
ance, have spoken sooner

Randall Gibson and you may ask him to show

to any compromise action by Congress-
Believing the Kellogg government to be an
usurpation could not asseut to any action by
Co gress looking to its recognition as the govern
ment tie fsap, even It such action would have fur
thered the peace and prosperity of the State. In
my Judgment, the only lawful action Congress
could take 10 direct the withdrawal Of the
Federal troops. l. therefore, opposed even
bringing before the House Of Representatives
the resolution as to the illegal action of the Re-
turning Board, because accompanied by resolu-
ton recognizing the Kellogg government
After, however, the House had acted upon this
resolution, and after certain gentlemen had de-
termlned to submit their claims to seats IN the
Legislature to the arbitration of the seven gentle
men comprising the Louisiana Committee, to
have refused to have acted as one of the arbitra-
tors would have simply been to have refused to
do what could toward reaching correct deter
mlnation OF the questions of election thus volun-
tallly presented. That acting on such arbitra-
ton could, under any circumstances. be taken in
any quarter an admission on my part of the
validity Of the Kellogg government, never was

A Wicked and Dangerous Monopoly

TIE CAUSE OF TIE FAILURE OF THE
BANK OF CALIFORNIA.
The following remarkable statement
comes to us well authenticated. Fur
thcr, we know nothing of the facts
Ed. Cal.
The following facts in regard to the
recent failure of the Bank of CalifOI-
MIA were given to the Senior class OF
Amherst college by Prof. Julius Scelye,
member of Congress from the 10th Dis
trict of Mass. The general impression

of funds 10y President Ralston. This
report has been widely circulated and
believed, and has only passed uncon-
tradicted through the power exercised
10y the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany over the Press OF the country.
Ii is well known that President Raj
Ston was actively Interested in the eS-
Enlistment of II new telegraph com
pany i'll opposition to the Western
Union. This powerful company, en-
hracing the opportunity afforded 10y Il
temporary embarrassment of the Bank
caused Il telegram to he sent to New
York to The effect that the Bank Of
California was on the point of suspen-
sion. The result WIS quite natural

ately photographed their agents in San

me spread as only such rumors cal
spread, all over the State. At the first
sign of panic, the Bank filed IL tele
gram for New York TO the effect that il
was perfectly sound and there was n,
danger of failure. Had this Telegram
been ,sccived III time, doubtless tn,
result would Lave been otherwise
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1875-12-03

This message WAS delayed by the West
ern Union Co. for "a hours
In the meanwhile the Bank, unable
to meet without warning the Immediate
redemption of its obligations, was forced
to suspend. Thus the tyranny of the
most powerful monopoly i'll the United
States shows itself. If ne are to be-
lieve the newspaper reports, the Bank
was to some extent involved i'll specu-
lation, but with the above information
we have no reason to doubt that it WAS
sound financially, and perfectly able tn
redeem its obligations, had sufficient
time been givenit.
And why. you ask, have not the pa
pers exposed the real facts of the case
before? Is it possible that their enter
prise has failed to discover them? Quite
the contrary. The Western Union Tel
erraph Co. has such control Oven the
! Press that an influential paper dare not
publish the true cause of the failure
Should one of them do SO the Telegraph
Co. has power to drop it from the Asso-
ciated Press. to treble the price of it,
dispatches, or even refuse to send them
at all. This thing has been done 10y
the Co. before, and is sufficient warning
Without commenting upon this trans
action, 1t is interesting to follow the
discussion upon the feasibility of Gov
eminent supervision of the telegraph
| The arguments are. all on one side. and
we are led to suppose the experiment
of England i'll this respect to he Il com
plete failure. An impartial statement
of the result i'll that country has moi
been given la the public, hut the facts
have been twisted about and conclusion
drawn solely for the interests of the Tel
c.r;,pII Monopoly. We give the facts in
regard to the action ofthe W cStcru | mon
substantially us related 10y the Profess
a. Coming us they do from such au-
| thority we have no reason to doubt
and every reason to believe their truth
| That the Bank has since been re-or-
gained. strength ens still further the
statements of Prof. Scclyc.
