THE NEW TRIAL.

The recent speeches of Mr.. Bayard, of
Delaware, and Mr.. Tucker, of Virginia,
appeal from the decision Of the war and
the amendment of the federal constitu-
ton. They reafirm the doctrine that the
States possess an unqualified sovereignty,
and that the Union is composed of a con-
federacy of States, and is not the work of
a majority of the people.
1t is not necessary to examine the
original articles of agreement, nor to
trample over the ground scarce quiet from
the deadly struggle which has scanned its
surface. We do not suppose any one
claims that people are bound to abide
by the disputed constructions Of sny other
people or period. 1t might even be granted
that the Union aoas a confederacy, but
such an admission would no more estop
the people from forming new and more
perfect union than it did our ancestors
from passing from a confederacy into
Union.
The question of statehood independ-
ent Of the Union has been settled by the
successive remuneration of the doctrine of
notification by the few that held it, and

REX AND The GOVERNOR.

The REPUBLICAN,, in common with the
ma jority OF the people of the city, has
heretofore received the edicts and sug-
gestions Of Rex in what may fairly be
called becoming spirit of loyalty. 1t
is earnestly hoped that nothing will occur
to ALLEVIATE US and our political friends
from the wise ard benefcent rule of bis
occult majesty. If the merry monarch
continues to keep around his throne ad-
visers who are solely devoted to his pecu-
liar interests, aims and objects, all will go
on smoothly as heretofore. Fun is fun,
and we believe all good men relish it.
But We do not relish an appearance of
fun, with mischief behind it. Some
body, unauthorized, as we suppose,
has put on the official mask, and
taken up the pen Of Earl Marshal War
wick the Carnival Kings prime minis
ter, for the purpose Of addressing fool
ish and stupidity offensive letter to Gov
ernor Kellogg, which We hope and expect
the real and good Earl Warwick will
hasten to disavow.
The re is no sense in it. 1t is destitute
of wit; it presupposes that the universal
spirit Of fun and frolic which pervades
nearly all classes Of this city during the
holidays preceding Lent is Democratic
virtue, in which Republicans have no part
or lot; and that King whose empire is
the whole globe, and whose authority
reaches from pole to pole, is dissatisfied
and sulky because our last riot did not
terminate to the satisfaction of few am
bilious politicians, whose motto is, profit
and plumber" Rex must accept things
as he finds them, and, above all things,
rigidly avoid the use Of the slang itera-
ture of Democratic mass meetings, ora
tons, communications to the papers, and
other pleadings in the great litigation for
Office which has succeeded the shock of
contending armies in the field. Doubt
less Governor Kellogg will give due atten-
ton to any proper and legitimate COM
munication from Rex, but can not be ex-
pected to relish being called usurper
and pretender even in fun. Unless Rex
behaves himself better than is foreshad-
owed in the letter purporting to have been
written in his name to the Governor, we
shall have to look about US for another
and better Lord of Misrule. Rex should
protect himself against those who attempt
to advertise their politics or merchandise
through his popularity
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-01-26
COMPROMISE NO. Q.

We are gratifed at the alacrity with
which the Republicans in the Senate and
House have accepted the apportionment
| proposed by the caucus conference. This
is an earnest Of the honest wish for har-
mony on their part, as we'll as refuta.
ton of the charge that they desire to
avoid any inquiry into alleged abuses,
or oppose concurrence in any proper re.
| forms.
The late census establishes proportion
of about twenty-five per cent Of voters,
and the ratio applied to the race numbers
respectively will give about $4,000 white
to $4,000 colored voters.
We do not claim that the whole colored
vote will be polled for the Republican
party, but We are satisfied that if not in
Inundated there would not be greater
loss than will be incurred by the Democ-
racy by those temporarily absent from the
State. This would be according to the
ratio stated little more than one thous-
and votes.
With a continuance of the present
policy there will be an increased DISPOSE
ton on the part OF the Conservative
planters and proprietors to protect the
colored voter, and even to lend him a
mule to ride to the polls and vote the Re-
publican ticket. This will come to pass,
because the Conservative would in his
heart rather trust the unlettered fidelity
of the colored voter than the naughty as
tuteness of the domineering Democracy.
We are gratiied, therefore, that the
enumeration has satisfied and been &C.
cepted by the Conservative members. It
is another recogni tion of the Republican
State government. It is another nail in
the coffin of the defunct disturbers of our
political peace.
With the confirmation of compromise
No. 2, and the enactment of those reforms
to which the Republicans are pledged, the
Conservatives will find stable and peace
full government. They can either vote
the Republican ticket or stay at home,
and the ten thousand colored Republican
majority will emancipate them from bond
age to the domineering and dictatorial
Democracy forever.

the exceptions above noted, and no per-
son unless so appointed. shall be allowed
to perform the duties of weigher, gauger
or inspector Tobacco is not specific
ally mentioned in the act, and it is plob-
ably not the intention of those who are
applying for these grants of power to in
terfere in any manner with that trade.
But as it may be fairly included in the
provision which requires ''all other arti-
cles of produce" to be submitted to the
rules laid down in the act, it would be as
well, perhaps, to except tobacco in ex-
press terms. Again, while it is entirely
correct and proper for the Exchange to
appoint weighers, inspectors and all other
needful assisters in conducting their bust
ness, merchants who do not belong to the
assoc ation ought to have the same privi-
lege. The appointees of the association
should represent it, the same as any agent
represents his principal, but should not
in any sense represent others or be
clothed with unusual powers by the State.
The general features of the bill are
unobjectionable. The produce merchants
are as likely to be benefited by unity of
action and purpose as any other class of
the people. The Chamber of Commerce
has been incorporated by law, and the
Cotton Exchange, moro limited in its
scope, has been accorded the same dis
tinction. The Merchants Exchange As
ISOLATION may, in like manner, apply for
legislative aid by recognition, but due
care should be taken not to give them the
right to interfere with the business of
those who do not belong to the associa-
ton. The question of patronage is
secon Diary to efficient service, not only to
the members of the association, but to all
others engaged in business in this city.

INSPECTORS AND WEIGHERs OF PRODUCE

INSPECTORS AND WEIGHERs OF PRODUCE.
Since the brief notice of the ''act to in
corporate the Merchants Exchange Asso-
citation" appeared yesterday morning, we
have received copy of the bill itself from
Mr.. Odendahl, president of the associa-
ton. We find in it slight variation from
what it had been reported to be. The
two items Of hay and flour inspection are.
with cotton, made exceptions to the gen.
eral supervision of merchandise conferred
upon the association. The proposed act
provides that three hay and five -four in
spectors shall be appointed by the Gov
ernor. That the inspection of all mer-
chandise is made voluntary-too much
so, in fact-since it requires the
consent of both buyer and seller to
invoke official interference and ex-
animation. The association is vested
with the exclusive right to appoint
all inspectors, weighers and gaugers, with
