There is much truth in the above OBJ
servations of the Commercial. Every
corrupt ring, every successful sharper,
now thinks 1t necessity to own q news
paper to cover up, or defend his or its
raids upon society. And yet such papers
seldom succeed. The most brilliant
qualities cannot conceal the rotten
ness underneath. The people, in fact,
are now SO thoroughly educated
In journalism that they detect, almost
Immediately, the treachery that lies un-
derneath the most specious phrases,

him q great man, In the end finds that
the people have not been deceived and

The old veterans In the war readily
comprehended most of the movements
Of the army Immediately they began,
and their judgments were often as sound
as those Of trained officers. The people
are now about journalism something like
the old soldiers were in relation to army
movements. They Immediately detect
what is sham and what Is true in it, and
rings or jobbers do about the weak
est thing imaginable when they set up a
high moral newspaper to cover up cor

should the st. Louis Convention nom.

dency, the friends Of Hon. Lewis d.
Campbell, OF Ohio, will probably pre-
sent that gentleman name as a

Mr.. Campbell was a Clay Whig,
then q Republican, and since the
war he has co-operated with the De-
mocracy. He has served several terms
in Congress and was Minister to Mexico
under Lincoln. Mr.. Campbell was the

Who was IT, what member of the Legislatures
that made the pelican the symbol and standard

mend It. The pelican is an ugly. greedy. big
stomached bird. Of the ilthiest habits He is
not even a native Of Louisiana. bnt carpet
bagger coming from the farthest limits of the
frozen north. His only redeeming point is the
fabulous story told about him that he feeds his
yeung with his own blood-a fable only too ap-
parent and monstrous He is much more likely
to eat them. the brute. Only glance at the dirty
jackson Square peliean-that will suffice.
1t is strange that another bird did not suggest
itself to the minds of our Legislature @ bird
truly Louisianian in every respect, in every
peculiarity-the mockingbird--a small. fierce.
impertinent. active lively. melodious.
dapper little fellow brave as "a
lion. The most venomous rattlesnake, the
biggest hawk cannot alarm him in tho least: he
will do battle against them for his home. as long
as his life lasts. He cherishes freedom more
than any bird. 1t Is no fable Of bin to say that
he would rather see his young ones lying dead
at his feet than Gagged md slaves. II he cannot
get them out OF their prison he will poison them
himself and give them the freedom of death at
least There is another feature. a little weak
ness, Of the bird that shows his Louisiana
origin He Is. unfortunately. addicted to china
berries q somewhat intoxicating drink. In
chinaberry season you may see him staggering
along as uncertain and shaky as a professional
topper. He grows impertinent. utterly reckless
and careless, flies in your face, picks at your
eyes. and laughs and sings ut you in jolly.
good-natured. but inebriate1 tone of voice.
In fine. If Il bird is to be sought that possesses
the characteristics, the peculiarities. of a Lou

his weaknes il is the mocbing bird, and not

REPUBLICAN TROUBLES On THE
CCRRENsY al fs~CION.

Notwithstanding the boast that the
Republican party in Congress a d in
the country is a unit On the currency
question, it II palpable enough that it
has never been so, is not sci now, and
will not he found so in the future. The
Resumption act Of 1879, which sub
served \ temporary party purpose,
will not seoul permanent Moi and
harmony on the question in the Re-
publican councils and ranks. Indeed
according 10 the confessions Of the
Washington correspondent OF the New
York Tribune, there are already symp-
toms Of a wide disagreement among
leading Republicans in Washington on
the financial question, which threaten
to divide the party whenever forced to
take action in the premises. In the
Western States the Republican party
is known to he at loygerheads on this
question, and a large portion OF it is
said to be opposed to the present re-
sumption act, and clamorous for its
appeal. The published speeches Of
Norton, Ferry and other Republican
congressman, scattered throughout
Inc West, have indoctrinated the Re-
publicans of that section pretty thor
oughly with the ~soft-money heresy;
and their beiIests on thus subject
will be likely to compel Morton and
other soft-money disciples to drop the
hard-mo1ey mask, which they have
worn for the past year with 10 much
profit to their party in Ohio and Penn
sylvania.
