ScALDs AND BURNs-Hall's Journal OF
Health gives theifollowing advice on the
treatment of scalds and burns: "Onss the
instant of the accident, plunge the part
under cold water. This relieves the pain in
a second, and allows all hands to become
composed. If the part can not lie kept under
water. cover over with dry -four, an inch deep
or more. In many instances nothing more
is needed after the -four; simply let IL remain
until it falls off,when a new skin will be
found under. In severer cases bile the part
injured is under water, sim
mer a leek or two in an earthen
vessel, with half their bulk OF hogs lard,
until the leeks are soft, then strain through
a muslin rag. This makes greenish colored
ointment, which, when cool, spread thickly
on a linen cloth and apply 1t to the injured
part. II there are blisters let out the water.
When the part becomes feverish and uncom-
Portable, renew the ointment, and q rapid,
painless cure will be the result, If the patient
in the meanwhile lives exclusively on
fruits, coarse bread and other light, loosen

Some forty years ago, Thomas Emerson,
president ofthe Windsor (Vt.) bank was sus-

OF which caused the institution to fail. He
was tried, found guilty, and confined in
Sept. 2, as Col. Harlow was removing an old
brick oven in his house which was formely
occupied by the cashier, Kittridge,n ne discoy-
cred somewhere between $40. 900 and $50, 00e
of the missing money in q brick vault under
the oven. The people of Windsor nov believe
the cashier took the money instead OF Kmer-

Low PERSONALITIES.

The indecent attack of the Times upon
the editor of this paper will certainly fail
of the intended result. 1t will not serve
to screen the guilty from exposure and
punishment The charges aud insinu-
ations are simply contemplate, false and
malicious. To serve purpose which is
perfectly well understood by this commu-
nifty, the Times is made to turn aside from
the true and proper course of journalism
and become the vehicle of flippant gossip,
which anybody who is at all familiar with
the history of New Orleans knows to be
perfectly idle. The editor of the REPUB-
LICAN is not to be swerved from settled
purpose by this attempt to create col
lateral excitement. We are at present en-
gagged in the discharge of peculiar and
serious duty, which no personal consider
alton whatever can make us neglect.
The matters which are referred to by
the Times, whether true or false, can have
no possible connection with the events of
to-day. Nor do we pretend to understand
why there should be an attempt made,
which will be sure to prove abortive, to
distract the public attention from mat
ter in which we all feel much deeper in
terest than we do In those things which
occurred and were settled many years ago.
Whatever may be the motive, It will surely
fail, if to silence the REPUBLICAN be one
of the expected results.

commerce which should not be neglected.
The ship is in danger. The selfish
quarrel on the quarter deck should
be stopped. All hands should be
piped to quarters. The hold should be
sounded, the pumps manned, the rigging
and sails handled according to the ext
gencies of the tempest, and the ship
worked off the breakers almost under her
bow. To do this will require the harmony
and obedience of all. The Republicans
are prepared to do their part of the pa
triotic service. The acknowledgment on
behalf Of the Democratic press that the de-
cline of the city may be attributed to
other causes than misgovernment of the
city and State alone is the first step to
cO-operation
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-12-18
THE TRUE CAUSES OF OUR COMMERCIAL
DECLINE

The REPUBLICAN, has persistently said
that whatever may be the misrule of the
city or State governments Of Louisiana
how great soever may be the peril of life
and property in the parishes, the stagna-
ton Of our city trade can not be solely
attributable to these causes. We have
proved this by the fact that States and
cities have been as corruptly governed
as our own are assumed to be. and yet
those cities have prospered. Cities have
been injured by the confagrations of
peace and war, and yet those cities have
been rebuilt. New York and Chicago are
cases in one of which the rate of debt
and taxation are as great as our own,
and in each the municipal malefactors
have been as INSCRIPTIONS as any others
could possibly be. Chicago has been de-
stroyed by fire, Atlanta and Char
lesion devasted by fire and shell;
yet all those cities are prosperous,
while New Orleans not more highly taxed
than others, not at all devastated by bonn
bardment or conhagration, has suffered
from commercial atrophy almost with
out parallel. The REPUBLICAN has
proved that this loss of trade comes from
two causes, both of which may be con-
densed into one. The decline of New
Orleans is due to the progress of science.
Commerce passing between the valley of
the Mississippi and the markets of the
world was formerly obliged to risk snags,
fires. sandbars and sinecure Offices on the
river. with bars, reefs and tornadoes on
the coast. More than this. Commerce,

tice only and his bond" This the tax
payers of New Orleans are DESTROYS the
public creditor shall have. 1t is all that
they can pay at such date and in such
proportions as their ability may serve,
Let the public creditors, then, regard
the delays and uncertainties of the law,
and agree to such terms of liquidation as
may neither reduce the city to anarchy
nor insolvency. Their counsel should SO
advise them.

The ragged strips of bunting floating at

roughly by the winds, Init there is not
enough left to show the stripes, and the
stars have faded before the morning sun.
