Constantinople shares, with many oth- CT cities, the reputation of being the most dissolute in the world. The traveller is not required to decile the rival claims of this sort of pre-eminence, which are ea- gerly put forward; he may better, in each city .acquiesce in the complaisant assump- ton of the inhabitants. But when he is required to see in the moral state of the Eastern capital signs of it's speedy decay, and the near extinction of the Ottoman rule, he takes leaf out of history and re- fleets. It is true, no doubt. that the Turks are enfeebled by luxury and sen- suality, and have, to great extent. lost those virile qualipies which gave to their ancestors the dominion of So many king. doms in Asia, Africa and Europe; in short, the race is sinking into an incapacity to propagate itself in the world. If one be- ,heves what he hears, the morals of socie- ty could not be worse The women, so many of whom have been bought in the
 market, or are daughters of slaves, are educated only for pleasure; and great proportion of the male population are adventures from all lands, with few do- nestle ties. The very relaxation of the surveillance of harem Cthe necessary pre- lude to the emancipation of women) opens the door to opportunity, and gives

THE SWEET BELLS JANaLE.

One part of the opposition press de-
nounces the Republican party as the au-
thor and cause of all illegal disturbances
in the State. Another gives an appalling
description of the state of society among
US. We quote paragraph from the latter
under the head License to Murder" It

was reported sinking rapidly last evening
and is now probably dead. From all the
accounts we have had, the affair seems to
have been one Of those wanton and unpra-
voked murders which happen only in COM
munities where human life is held in con.
tempt, and where the takers of lie are
favored with peculiar encouragement. IL is
only necessary TO look back upon the admin
istration of criminal Justice In this city t.,
discover the causes OF toe appalling state Of
things now prevalent. The number of muir
ders which have never been traced, tho
outrageous and revolving sssassinations
which have never been adequately punish
ed, the established custom OF neutralizing
convictions by pardons or communications,
these, together with the innumerable
abuses and corruptions which have crept
into aud taken possession OF the entire
criminal court system are the chief factors
in the lamentable result.
This deplorable codicil is added;
Such thing as an able. vigorous and in
partial administration Of the criminal code
hae long been unknown to New Orleans,

NOT MUCH OF A PURITAN.

General Alcibiades De Blanc is some
what mistaken in his American records.
He says in an Grafton at Iberia:
Conspicuous among the signers Of the
declaration of independence we're the two
representatives of religious antagonism-
John Randolph, the Puritan, from Massa'
chusetts, and Charles Carroll, of Carroll.
ton, the Catholic, from Maryland.
There was no one named Randolph
among the signers. John Randolph Of
Roanoke, who was distinguished South
ern republican of 1898, was the antipodes
and antagonist of New England. He op-
posed the war for free trade and sailors
rights, although. that position brought
him alongside of tho Blue Light federal
lists of New England. Later he assailed
Mr.. Clay for his alliance with John
Quincy Adams. History informs us that
in q violent attack on that statesman he
called this act an alliance between ''Puri-
tan and blackleg-Black George (the
poacher) and Blifl (the hypocrite)."
Out of this, We believe, grew the duel be-
tween Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Randolph.
This habit of denouncing "Puritans"
and yankees" has cost the South good
deal. The puritan" took his name from
the Papists and Church Of the English es-
tablishment Those who choose to read

There is then conflict between those
discordant elements rs to the causes
which disturb society and give us such q
reputation abroad. It would seem better
for the public interests that they should
harmonic their allegations and cease to
advertise New Orlea MS as q place where

and lucky to save his life.

and General Jackson extinguished the
resistance Of the Creeks and Cherokees' ct

conflicts the sympathies of the Americans
have been with their own government and
its soldiers. Never has an administration
been reproaohed with having kept it, SOL

been reserved for the present period and

The Picavune intimates that the col
orsd people ought to desert the Repub-
lican party, because Of an ebullition as
cribed to Mr.. Pinchbabk, at Cincinnati,
to the effect that ''that organization
turned its back up on him because he is
not entirely white" Whether Mr.. Pinch
hack uttered such q remark or not, or
whether the colored people believe it to
be true if he did, is not half SO interesting
as would be specific explanation by the
Picavune as to what its copglomerate
party organization will do for the colored
man in the way of official recognition and
promotion. The Baton Rouge conven-
ton is near at hand, and will be largely
composed of the class dubbed by our con-
temporary the ''best friends" of the COL
ored race. Let them demonstrate practi-
cally this asserted friendship by lifting
some proper representative colored man
to full political fellowship on their ticket
Until they do manifest willingness to
make of him some thing more than
mere political "hewer of wood and drawer
of water the colored man by the instinct
of self-preservation will be Republican.
When they attain the Republican plane
Of equal rights to all citizens-and green
google horsemen and bulldozers rec GIVE
the reward of their heinous crimes-the
colored voters will divide upon local is
sues and interests as naturally as do their
white neighbors Democracy will then
cease to be . standing menace to the
peace of the State, and confidence in the
enforcement of the laws will give us
degree of prosperity and developm ent
scarcely dreamed of in the past.

THE DOCTORS DISAGREE.

Mr.. Mari is reported at Louisville to
have said:
1t is to the stand taken by the good men
of Louisiana and the course taken by the
Administration that yOu owe your present
majority in Congress and the prospect for
success in the election of President.
If this should be the case, then the De-
mocracy has proved very ungrateful for
this majority. Not only have the levees
and the railroads of Louisiana been shame
fully refused by the Democracy, not
only have they suppressed the Mint and
given in its place temporary assay Office,
but the Democratic members from Louisi-
ana have been snubbed and silenced, nor
have they been allowed to speak of their
grievances at all. Mr.. Mari and Mr..
Ellis both we're sanguine that the Louisa
ana outrages would have occupied the at
tention of Congress, but thus far nothing
has been accorded except an investiga-
ton of the pay roll, and the vindi-
cation of the Coushatta assassin from the
charge of having been Influenced to
murder by political motive. Why, we
may digress to remark, committee should
have been able 10 certify the motives OF q
man whom nobody knows, has been mat
ter of surprise to us and to others. MI.
Marr's theory, however, conflicts with
that of others, who claim that it was the
alleged corruption of the Republican
party and the disafection of the Liberals
which secured the present majority in
Congress claimed by Mr.. Mari.
It remains, however, a gzoss evidence
Of Democratic ingratitu!5e that they should
have gone off on the centennial gush, the
harmony of the sections, and should have
deemed ''the stand taken by the good
men of Louisiana" matter rather to be
kept in the background than to be set in
the front of Democratic merits. II, how
ever, Mr.. Mari thinks the hdal-or. the
Tilden-wave owes its impulse to ssthe
good men OF Louisiana" he has an un-
doubted right to enjoy his delusion.

ents OF Rome and English Eplscopacy
underweas from the reign Of Elizabeth,
until Oliver Cromwell, the gentleman,
tho university scholar, and the greatest
and best ruler that ever governed Eng
land, set the English Protestants free,
viii see that the small band which were
persecuted out Of England into . wilder
ness were not men to be detested or
despised. The Puritans Of England drove
the Papal stuarts out of England and
have given religious freedom to America.
It is under this fruit of freedom that the
Rev. Marx Moses, of the Jewish persua-
sion, speaking Of the Protestant men who
made the revolution said. 'God bless their
immortal memory for. ever more" The
prejudice against New England has pro-
hibited the South from adopting those
great measures of progress which New
England has copied from the modern
progress Of Europe. It has stigmatized
schools and firmly resisted manufac-
lures. It inspired John Randolph to
signalize his hatred of wooden manufac-
lures by saying he would Ego half q mile
out of his way to kick sheep" 1t is that
hostility to progress that has cost the
South its present dependent position in
the Union. It is that devotion to ed
ucation and employment that has given
to the Eastern States rewarded industry
and accumulated wealth, which has diff
fused throughout the growing republic
the nationality of the republic, disbanded
the State league, and consolidated the
government of the people in the hands Of
the people. Mr.. Watterson has recently
said:
As long as the Democratic party was the
party of American progress, 1t was the
party of the American people. When, by
sectional passions and misleading, it under
took to destroy its own life, and did for a
time destroy its homogeneity and it's unity
it fell into popular discredit and was sue
ceeded by the party which represented cur
rent ideas.
With the qualification that the Southern
Democracy was never party of progress,
but the obstructive and reactionsry enemy
of all progress, this is perfectly true. Let
the Southern people extend an affection
ate welcome to these ecclesiastical spirits
who regard the Puritans as "heretics;
let them denounce all ideas of material
progress common to England, Germany
and France, because they have been
adopted in New England, and they will
continue to decline in the relative grade
of political power until they will have
little positive influence in the government.
New England and New York, in their
wealth, intelligence and in the exercise OF
the political power which those attributes
have created, will not regard their South
ern sisters with any other feeling than in
difference. General De Blanc was mis-
taken in supposing John Randolph to
have been either signer of the declara-
ton of independence or Puritan. Had
that remarkable man been more tolerant
and better friend of progress he would
have advocated the civilization Of New
England instead of committing his coun-
trymen against it.
