TAKMANY TRIUMPHs,

The idea of making the troubles OF
Louisiana national question is connected
with, if it did not originate from, the
Democratic councils Of Tammany Hall.
The Fusion party Of 1872 voted for Gree
ley, and united with Warmoth, without
recantation of Republican principles by
either. The convention at Baton Rouge
announced.itself as white peoples party,
and the late campaign was conducted by
White Leaguers and Conservatives. In
each case each alias has been assumed for
the same purpose. 1t is to reorganize the
Democratic party, and convey the vote of
the Southern States to Tammany, in trust,
to be cast for the Democratic candidate
of 1876.
Mr.. McEnery avowed in late public
speech that he had carried the Dem
ocratic banner" for two years past, and
thereby admits, what is palpable to all,
that all elements of discomfort have been
united to be employed in the Democratic
name and for the Democratic benefit in
the next presidential election. Let bust
ness men and property holders remember
that it is the deliberate wish and purpose
of the Bourbon Democrats to keep this
question open, to resist all reforms, and
to expose Louisiana, bleeding and exhaust
ed, as an incentive to change in the
federal power and patronage for the
benefit Of Tammany Hall and its leaders.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Sixty years ago to-day Abraham Lincoln
was born; in commemoration Of that
event the twelfth day of February has
been made legal holiday in Louisiana.
Enshrined in the hearts of freedom-lov-
ing people, he is considered as one who
was second only to Washington-an Amer
lean, a true patriot and, an honest man.
His remarkable career, from the humble
backwoods home to the Presidential man
sion of great nation, is familiar
to all. He was man of the
people, and he lived for their betterment
and died in their service. 1t is fitting
that he should be remembered by a crate
full nation. To him was given the oppor-
tunity to declare the emancipation Of
slaves in the South, and his proclamation
of January l, 1868, stands a voucher for
his immortal fame. 1t was his fate TO die
by assassin hand. We remember to-day
preserver Of American liberties, the
central figure in the war against treason
and rebellion, the martyr President.

TIE IMPORT DuTIES.

While the recent changes in the national
tariff have set agog importers and con.
sumers of imported goods, it behooves us
to look about and to explain to those in.
terested the bearing these changes may
have upon this port as to its revenue col
lections, and at the same time express
some phrase Of comment as to the bust
ness done at the port of New Orleans, real
and apparent. For some time past lead
ing Northern and Western journals have
alluded sneeringly to the receipts at the
port of New Orleans. The amount of
customs dues collected here has been con-
trasted in a spirit Of savage spitefulness
with the cost Of maintaining the force at
this customhouse.
1t has been charged that a retinue of
clerks and employees are retained here in
idleness. While advocating reform under
any grise and welcoming retrenchment in
any form, the REPUBLICAN must say that
the business Of this port, while conducted
thoroughly, is administered economically.
The mistake engendered in the minds Of
those remote from this section grows out
of the simple fact that they know not
whereof they speak. They assert that this
port only collects $4,000 900 per annum.
1t is true that only s2,0S1, 62O were paid
into this customhouse in gold last year. But
nearly fourteen millions of merchandise
andproduce passed through this port dur
ing the same interval. The single article
Of sugar alone imported from the Antilles
and shipped in bond via this port will foot
up in the millions. When it is borne in
mind that the weighing Of this produce,
the discharging Of the vessels, the adjust
ment Of duties, the examination of papers
and all other clerical work involved there
by, devolves upon the customs employees
here, it is small wonder that the force
should be seemingly great in proportion
to the amount of duties collected. Here
are the figures Of the last twelve months
Value of all goods imported, S13, 166, 900;
value OF goods on which duty was paid,
81, $3.50; amount Of duties collected,
S2,0Sl, 800 SO.
Assuming that the amount OF duty On
all goods imported into this port had been
paid here, and taking the pro rata as in
dicated by actual receipts, we should have
collected at this port seven millions Of
dollars in gold.
On the first day Of January, 1875, there
remained in bonded warehouses goods to
the amount of 81, 717,094. Of this amount
a considerable sum is made up BY railroad
iron belonging to the old firm Of Jay
Cooke & Co., imported through their
agent, Pit. Cooke, into this city. The
remainder Of the thirteen OF fourteen mil

lions Of foreign fabrics and products have
been distributed throughout the country,
the custom officials at this port doing the
entire work.
Regarding the exports, nothing has been
said in this article. Seventy millions of
produce annually pass through this port
to foreign countries. In the mind of the
general public and the careless head
official with big pay, the labor Of entering
and clearing vessels passes for naught
when no revenue accrues. The political
economy Of these statesmen would seem
to be that excess Of exports in the ratio of
five to one should stamp port of entry
and transit as a superfuous extravaganza
in the revenue system. Be it SO. Per-
haps they are right, and after all free
trade should be the correct doctrine. But
since the government must be sustained
by its revenues, it must be admitted that
great port of entry and transit, such as
New Orleans, must be encouraged.
When it is known that the abolition Of
the duty on tea and coffee has reduced
the collections at this port over million
per annun, and that the reduction on
salt, iron, linens, wines and cottons
lowers our receipts million more some
regard should be had for the labor per-
formed here under a reduced tariff. The
new tariff prescribes that all still wines
shall pay duty of forty cents per gallon.
This may affect few importers whose
shipments have been delayed to preclude
arrival within the legal allotted time.
The majority, however, have withdrawn
from warehouse all wines Of inferior
grade at the old rate Of twenty-five cents
per gallon. So that the gain is on the
side of the importer.
Such other changes as are mentioned in
what is known as the "little tariff affect
only tin plate, sardines and, in very in
direct way, spirituous liquors in bottles.
The New York Herald, in three columns
Of wordy bosh, beclouds the facts and
figures, and, in the Herald way, DAMS
with faint particulars and inky blame.
The purport Of this article is neither to |
defend the amended tariff nor apologize
for the business of this port. The truths
are set before the public, and it is for
them to decide. Our government is sus-
tained by the public revenues, and they
Ire collected at the ports. We believe in
the government, and since no
other newspaper will narrate the facts, the
REPUBLICAN stands up in defense of New
Orleans.
