10, HAMLET. SPEAK NO MORE y

The partisans. of the late rebellion begin
at last to show some irritation at the re-
cital of their sins, and earnestly beg to
shear no more Yet, with all this pro-
fessed sensitiveness, they will not confess
that they are ashamed of what they have
done, nor do they ever neglect an oppor-
tunity to glorify themselves for their
deeds in the lost cause, or bow down in
e,,niratio oil the doings of popular chief
tains. While, therefore, there is no OBJ
lection in the world to the discussion of
the soft side of the rebellion, anything
like censure is deprecated with holy hor-
ror. A graceful compliment paid to
heroic Confederate chieftain is copied far
and wide in the South as an evidence of
tie return of good feeling, while the can
did opinion of Republicans who do not
like the sin or the sinner is characterized
as an outgrowth of Radical hatred of the
South, as if the rebellion and its friends in
cluded the whole South. When, however,
fippant, superficial meddler, like the
New York Tribune, traitor to the Repub-
lican party in fact, if not in name, steps
forward and attempts to dictate to the
American people what subjects they shall
and shall not discuss, there is general
response Of sympathetic approval on the
part of the Southern Democracy. For in
stance, that journal, few days ago, in
the course of an airy, but stupid article.
jerked out the following piece of imper-
thence:
Stop talking about the rebellion; cease
shaking the bloody shirt. Put down any
man who tries to display that unfortunate
and WORKOUT rag.
This is addressed to Senator Morton.
The Picoyr,e thinks that if he and other
Republican Senators would follow it, the
effect would be beneficial.
Let us paraphrase it. Suppose it were
addressed to the clergy OF the world, in
about these words:
Stop talking about sin; cease shaking the
bloody crucitix in the face of the devil
He is tired OF it. Put down any minister of
the Gospel who tries to display that unfor-
tunate, obsolete and vermont instrument of
torture.
The clergy would, we apprehend, con-
tinue to discharge their duty with zeal as
well after such mandate to curtail their
freedom as now. And SO it will be in
civil affairs. The great American right
to discuss all matters freely still exists.
Also the right to call things by their right
names. Perhaps when the Confederate
papers cease to sing the praises of the re-
bellion and the actors in it. the Repub-
icans may cease to condemn. But we
may expect to see the great serpent at
tackled as long as its tail wriggles, no
matter how dead it may appear to be

A Washington dispatch to an evening
paper says:
The Attorney General lie much provoked
at Loan and Kellogg. He thinks men,
Der of his staff should be treated with more
respect.
If Mr.. Pierrepont wishes his slaves
treated with respect he should appoint
those who are entitled to it, if not COM
mand it. He is more likely to be con-
temned himself on account of the asso-
citation than that the especial member of
his staff, of whose ill-treatment he COM
plains, should receive consideration where
he is known. Attorney General Pierre
pont has invested in decidedly bad egg,
and the sooner he drops him the sooner
he will be freed from danger of q dis.
agreeable result. There is not power
enough in the United States army and
navy to make the people of New Orleans
do what Judge Pierrepont apparently ex-
poets of Governor Kellogg and Superin-
tendent Loan. Adherence to party and q
decent regard for the Attorney Generals
position may do good deal, but respect
for the "member of his STAFF is asking
too much. Abate little, Mr.. Pierre
pont, if possible.

The Weed warrants, as they are called,
were issued to the New Orleans Times
newspaper and job Office in 1872, by Gov
ernor Warmoth, for furnishing registra-
ton blanks The action of the Governor
was entirely illegal, since the State
printer was under contract at the time
to do all the printing required for the
State. But he thought the influence of
the Times was worth buying in the inter-
est of the Fusion party, and as a chance
presented Itself to do so and turn the en-
ploye over to the State for payment, the
experiment was tried. The work which
was actually performed was worth, per-
haps, few hundred dollars, as the Times
establishment was entirely inadequate to
do the heavy work. An attempt was
made to print the registration list, but the
type gave out on the first five hundred
names, and Blanchard was compelled to
come to the REPUBLICAN Office three days
before the election to have the work done.
Jul philliul anu
ample facilities were equal to the occa-
sion, though the most experienced men
thought it was impossible. Fifty.six
thousand names were put in type in three
days, besides getting out the regular edi-
tons of the paper, and the required num-
Der of lists were printed for each ward.
This was the work which the Times un-
dertook to do, and failed in. 1t also
failed in its contract to elect McEnery.
But warrants to the amount of $146 900
were issued to that establishment without
the formality of an appropriation. The
regular appropriations to the State
printer for doing all the work required
by the Stato for the past two years amount
to $4,000, or six thousand less than the
Times tried to get for trying to do enc
small job. in which it failed for want of
skill and material.
OF these warrants about fifty thousand
dollars were paid into the treasury by one
tax collector within a few weeks after
they were issued. There are now out
standing more than ninety thousand dol
lars worth nominally. At o recent meet
ing of the Funding Board an attempt was
made to fund these fraudulent warrants,
and we regret to learn that the attempt
would have been successful but for the
influence and vote of Mr.. Phelps, presi-
dent of the Cotton Exchange. 1t is inn
possible that any member of intelligence
on the board should not have known that
these Weed warrants are perfectly worth
less, and that it would be breach of
trust to fund them. 1t is probable there
will be further inquiry into the matter.

OUR INADEaUATE NAVY.

The report of Secretary Robson calls
upon Congress to furnish the means for
finishing "at once all the repairs of our
five double.turreted monitors, on the
ground that with these added to it our
iron.clad force would for purposes Of
defense present very substantial bar
rier to anything which should cross
the seas and attempt TO enter our
ports"
This is one vital point of Secretary
kobeson' 5 report. Another vital point
of Secretary Robeson's report, and one
which is still less crcditable to the Ad-
ministration, is his admission that our
navy Is still unprovided with rifled
cannon.
What has become Of the sixty-Odd
millions of dollars expended upon the
navy since President Grants second
term of Office began Secretary Robe
sons report leaves us with no very
| satisfactory means of guessing. While
we have been supplying President
Grant with money at the rate of more
than $50, 600, 900 year to produce a
fleet which, as his own Secretary tells
us, is armed with smooth bored guns,
and caunot he relied on to defend our
own ports, the Russion Empire has
been spending 81 ,000, ,0oO not Of dollars
but of roIbles, or in round numbers,
| just about one-haif the amount spent
by ourselves, with the result of creating
a navy which ranks as third in the
world in point of efficiency to-day.
Secretary Robson claims for our
navy at the utmost IRON clads (fifteen

two torpedo-b0ats, as our Immediately

l-lf we had five more larger vessels
ready TO join them-hc thinks would

at sea is too much to be expected, of
course, on b0ggarly income of only
S21 200, 600 a year!

Russian Navy are as compared with

Russian Government has been rather
notorious in Europe for the alleged
corruption and wastefulness of its ad

officials of the Emperor Alexander
may profitably take lessons in the great
art of how not to do it, from one de
partment at least Of the Administration
