SOUND AND BOLD DOCTRINE.

That section of the Bulletin which pro-
poses to become again the organ of the
business men of New Orleans makes a
good departure in the following brave
and just declaration:
Without respect for the majesty of the
law and without a law-abiding spirit no
people can become thoroughly civilized.
The revenge of mob, consisting of citizens
OF average morality and intelligence, when
executed upon felOn whose guilt lie be-
yond doubt, is, under any condition OF
things. miserable mockery of Justice,
hideous parody on law, full Of danger to
society and precedent for organized ter
rorism 1t is time that the people Of this
country, and especially of the South and
West, had awakened to the danger which
abides in this wicked practice of substitut.
ing the action of murderous mobs for the
justice which comes through courts of
criminal Jurisdiction. When mobs assume
the powers of ministerial officers and of
courts and commit homicide, they insult
and assault the whole common wealth, set
an example full Of mischief and smooth the
road to that banded ruffianism, which, if
unchecked, will end in brigandage and a
carnival of bloody villainy.
From the mob which murdered Seianus
and dragged his mangled body through the
streets, with that which passed sentence on
the sidewalk, and executed vengeance at
the lamp post or guillotine, to the last
mob murder in Illinois, all history tells
the same truth that this law of the law
less must "end in brigandage and car
nival of bloody villiany."
Such as we quote will, we trust, be the
established sentiment of the whole coun-
try. We can then emulate the glory of
the Ohio election in which in the hum
dreds of thousands of votes polled, on a
question of intense excitement, there was
no riot, or-as to the chief offices-no
contested result.

DRIVING FROM POWER.

Senator Gordon, Of Georgia, has written
to the New York Herald to make an OK
PLANTATION with reference to his Holly
Springs speech, which he claims that
journal, casually SO impartial" has mis-
represented. The Herald, probably aware
of the fact that nine-tenths of the men
called carpet-baggers are Of Northern
birth, and usually subjected to the driving
out process, reported Senator Gordon to
be making war upon Northern men, when
he actually advised the driving of carpet
baggers from power. Senator Gordon
thinks it q grievous matter that Missis-
sippi DEMOCRATS should be placed under a
suspicious cloud on this point, and hence
he hoped to correct the error which the
Associated Press and the metropolitan
daily had fallen into.
Senator Gordon perhaps imagines that
the dignity of his position as leading
Southern statesman is maintained by the
nonsensical stuff, void of reason or justice,
his letter is. made of; at all events, he
holds very poor opinion of public intel
ligence by sending the missive out to be
confronted, by . multitude of truths he
can not sainsay. aar5S

is no war upon Northern men? Senator
Gordon interpolates his denial-with o
qualification that the term carpet-bagger
means in Mississippi just what it means
all over the South" Therefore, relying
upon experience, and upon the record of
several Congressional committees, beside
the current Democratic press, we assert
that it means Northern men and none
other. The Southern men who affiliate
with the Republican party being denomi-
mated ''scallawags," or "traitors' to their
country. But, not to trife with this SUBJ
ject, Senator Gordon can not successfully
deny that the great majority of the white
men subjected to White Line violence
during the Mississippi troubles, previous,
during and alter his speeches, were of
Northern birth. He did not hesitate to
stoop to the lowest depths of local discord
in Mississippi, and he should not be al
lowed plea of ignorance on this point.
Practically, then, the ''driving out
process in Mississippi is not that peace
full, lawful assemblage at the polls and
depositing of the ballot he would have us
believe the White Line practices, and he
advised at Holly Springs. Yet he has not
scrupled to lend the influence of his high
position as a soldier, United States SEN
ator, and as one of the foremost leaders of
the South, to shield the lawless rioters of
Mississippi, and divert from their heads
the blows of public opinion they were re-
ceiving from one extremity of the land to
the other
Some one Of these days we shall hear
of Northern Democrat apologizing for
these deeds of violence which disgrace
the South on the ground that they are not
encouraged by the respectable classes or
the ''oldest and best" So easily does
Democracy accommodate itself to circum-
stances.
We do not pretend to question the right
of Senator Gordon to hold any political
opinions whatsoever; he may be either
for or against Northern men, or entirely
devoted to the Confederacy. But we do
protest, in the name of justice, against
the cowardly policy of perpetuating the
war by destroying or driving out political
opponents one day, and apologizing
for it the next If it is right to drive out
carpet-baggers do it like men and end
the matter; but do not bow and cringe
before the storm of indignation it may
provoke. 1t is humiliating and unworthy
of the race, whose superiority they so
haughtily contend for.
In marked contrast to the policy of
Senator Gordon, and more commendable
in our opinion, is that OF Judge Herschel
V. johnson, of his own State, relative to
the "negro insurrection" tried before him.
His eloquent appeal for the supremacy of
the law throwing its egis over the poor
as well as the rich and mighty" and as
the essence of good government, will be
treasured up for universal admiration
by youthful Georgians when even the
military record of Senator Gordon shall
fail to atone for his understandable, un-
patriotic advocacy of lawlessness.

WRONG, AS USUAL,

We hasten to relieve Mr.. Billings from
the imputation of writing letters to the
REPUBLICAN over the signature of B., or
in any other guise. We do not recollect
at this time that Mr.. Billings ever con-
tributed single line to this paper. If he
ever did, the circumstance has escaped
our memory. We hope our friends of the
Times will make note of it.

FROM LOUISVILLE TO THE SEA

Some of our Democratic contempora-
ries have expressed their surprise that the
''magnanimous" State of Virginia should
not support the South" in the Pacific
railroad, and Vice President Bond, of the
Pennsylvania Pacific railroad has written
letter to show that Senator johnson, of
Virginia, should not be disconnected, be-
caused the road will connect with the
great port of Norfolk, ''the best port of
the Atlantic coast"
Now comes Louisville to demand q rail
connection with the Eastern Atlantic ports.
Certainly those who regard the indications
of modern commerce must see that not
only is the interior and upper export trade
of the Mississippi valley being turned
across to the East, but that of the Pacific
shore having an Eastern market is pursu-
ing the same direction, and even crossing
the Mississippi itself to accomplish its
destiny. The effect of this direct trade
will be commercially to destroy the mo-
nopoly that New Orleans once enjoyed of
the up river export trade. 1t will compel
her to fire against fire, and by rail extern
sions to the South and Southwest will re-
place trade that she can not regain. For
if the Pacific trade can cross the Rocky
Mountains and the Mississippi, what can
prevent the Mississippi valley trade des-
tined for the same Eastern market from
crossing the Allegheny? If package can
be brought from San Diego to Philadel-
phia, say $500 miles, what can prevent a
similar package from going from Memphis
to Philadelphia, 1900 miles?
This tendency of the Atlantic ports to
contend for trade once held exclusively
by New Orleans has had the effect to
break up effectually the old "South. :"
This section was once united by the tie of
common title to an immense invest
ment There was even commerce in
this investment of great and reciprocal
importance to the States of the South. If
Louisiana needed two or three millions of
dollars worth of labor, Virginia or Ten
nessee could furnish it. As common
agricultural interest these States were op-
posed to protective tariff. All these
relations are now changed, even to the
last, for the Southern States are now dis
posed to take advantage of this protection
for their own manufactures. The active
contest going on among the Southern
Atlantic ports for the trade of the Missis-
sippi has dislocated this alliance, and even
converted these confederate interests into
opponents.
The diversion Of Kentucky trade to the
Atlantic ports is one Of the most remarka-
BILE evidences Of trade weaned and alien
ated from its birth love which has yet
been presented. To. have predicted to
the men who would have marched to
New Orleans and wrested their way to the

The Times claims that its "course has
been indicated" by the Fusion State
committee defeating the November con-
vention ring; and the Bulletin asserts that
''the committee has borne out our its)
ideas, yet they have been pulling in
opposite directions as selections from the
able editorials of each will show. 1t was
unkind to an agonized public for the COM
mittee to neglect stating which of these
wise and consistent political mentors ''our
people are to obey until next January.
The Picayluae alone, of the opposition
organs, does not claim credit for bringing
about the result of the convention gotten
up in the interest of Booth & Co. 1t
thin.4s the convention, even as now de-
layed is called unnecessarily early" and
so far as the objects at stake are concerned,
We should agree to this sentiment even if
the date were January, 1877, instead of
next year.
1t will be seen that if the committee
has "harmonized the people" discord
and jealousy still rankle in the patriotic
hearts of the penholders of the several
journals of widest circulation.
