RED RIVER RULE.

For some years past there has been a
school Of politicians on the upper Red
river which has domino ted by terroism
throughout the country. 1t is their doc
trine that there can be no dissent from
Democracy without want of integrity
which deprives the citizens not merely of
the right to vote, but of the kindly offices
Of society and Of the right to live. The
language of this school has been the most
scurrilous personal abuse. Its argument
has been published at Colfax and Cou-
shatta. 1t has been carried by its disciples
to Feliciana 1t was introduc ed in New Or
leans nearly two years since, but having
produced no other results than the con-
frmation of the present government, we
had hoped Red river would have con-
tented itself within its own local jurisdic-
ton.
Apparently it has again invaded this
city, and proclaimed a reign of obloquy
and violence that promises to give the en-
suing political contest terrible promi-
hence over any which has preceded it.
We have already published the threat in
open Senate that blood would be pro-
fusely shed if the Republicans dared go
into the next election under the law by
which Mr.. McEnery claims the govern
ment of Louisiana. We have already
quoted one warning to the Republican
party to abolish the Returning Board. We
have now this description of the Senate
election bill:
The Senate election bill is nothing but an
effort to formulate deception, theft, NAL
practice and lying as an election basis in
definitely in the State.
With this hattering description the
Democratic clubs receive the following
general order:
Be temperate, sober and discreet-give
five days Of grace for proper explanation,
and then let de foctO Governor Kellogg and
de tacto Lieutenant Governor Antoine
know that their hostile challenge is &C.
cepted.
What "hostile challenge" has been
given we know not. The threat of vio-
lence is, however, as plain as if it had
come under a skull and cross bones, with
Feliciana notice to colored sheriff
obedience or death.
We are satisfied that those who value
the life, property or business Of our citi-
zens can not be satisfied that the Red
river ring that seeks Office by violence
shall come in to regulate the politics of
New Orleans. We have had little else
than. social prescription, which has
driven away much capital and enterprise.
We are now informed that the politics of
Coushatta and Clinton are to be inaugu-
rated here. 1t is for the interests Of the
city to decide whether the ring shall
transfer its official quarters to this city, or
confne its authority to those unfortunate
districts in which are found the 'lawless,
bad men" ''the scamps who never owned
negro" of MI. Levy; the "lawless mob"
Of MIR. Ellis, and 'the large number of
wild and ungovernable young men, men
toned by Mr.. Spencer.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-02-08
MR.. GIBsON's LEVEE BILL.

We have received from Washington a
printed copy of the bill just introduced in
Congress by Mr.. Gibson to appropriate
money to rebuild the Mississippi levees.
Five million Two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars is named as the amount required.
This is a great sum, but not greater than
the interests involved. 1t is proposed in
the bill that the work shall be done and
the money discussed under the direction
Of the Secretary Of War. Of the amount,
100000 is to be expended in the State of
Missouri; 81 ,OOO 600 in Arkansas; $3.50, 600
in Tennessee; $1,000 600 in Mississippi
and g, 500, 600 in Louisiana. The work
is to be let by contracts to the lowest
bidders and performed under the super
vision Of the chief engineer Of the army.
This bill, it should be remembered, has
been proposed, merely, not passed. 1t
has many friends in Congress from the
Northern States, while it is reasonable to
suppose that the delegations from the
Southern States named III the Dill WILL
be unit for it. But they are in hope
less minority, and will have to depend
upon assistance from members whose
constituents may have adverse interests.
The Democrats from Georgia, North Car
DINA, Virginia, and perhaps Alabama,
still cling too fondly to the ancient tenets
Of the party to justify an implicit conf
dence in their friendly support. They
have been told so often that their ances-
tors, who framed the constitution, were
opposed to internal improvements, that
they almost receive the same doctrine as
sacramentaL The party in the States
directly interested differ with their
brethren in this very vital and important
matter They do not believe in q too

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY g. 1876

rigid application of Democratic princi-
pies, and find it necessary to suggest ex-
captions here and there. The author Of
this bill-Mr. Gibson-a Democrat and,
doubtless, q sworn free trader-has, at this
session, introduced bill providing for dis
eliminating tariff on imports of products
raised by slave labor. It may have been
petition instead Of bill, but the prin-
ciple is the same in either case. The Pc
culiar products aimed at are sugar, mo-
lasses, tobacco, rice, Santa Cruz rum, and
coffee. There may be possibly some others.
Such q tariff, if adopted, would benefit
only one Republican State-Louisiana.
All the rest, where any of these products
are raised, are hopelessly Democratic, and
fiercely arrayed against the Massachusetts
and New Hampshire manufacturers and
the pig iron men of Pennsylvania This
opposition, however, is only made on
general principles. When self interest or
the demands of constituents stand in the
way of a rigid application, there is
graceful yielding to suit the emergency.
There may not be Democrats enough in
terested in Mr.. Gibson's bill to insure
success, even with such assistance as may
be counted on from the Republicans.
This assistance will be more or less
conditional. Before we can expect gen.
crosby, we must be prepared to do justice
and be generous to others. If every year
is to bring forth revolution with its
CHASTITY crop of slaughtered Republican
voters, we can not expect the Northern
Republicans to be lavish with their gifts.
They may choose to save the money which
the levees would cost to defray the ex-
ira expenses incurred in putting down dis
order. Let us hope the Democracy of
this State will not give the enemies of MIR.
Gibson's much needed measure any such
opportunity to refuse the appropriation.
The few millions named in the bill would
be worth more in one year to the people
who compose the Democratic party than
ten years of absolute political control
And as they will be stronger within the
law than without, as they can never hold
the State by violence, they should
act promptly on the Divine in
junction, ''agree with thine adj
versary quickly for various good and
sufficient reasons. BY an amicable ad-
justment of our local discussions, we
shall reap the well known advantages of
unity, besides gaining the respect of our
some of whom are already in
the habit of speaking slightingly of every
thing pertaining to Louisiana. Before we
can claim the respect of strangers We
must first treat each other with respect.
If this session of Congress shall pass
away without giving US the levee appro-
priation and the Texas Pacific railroad,
the fault will be with the people of this
State. Both these invaluable measures
are within our grasp if we can stop quar-
reling with each other long enough to ask
for them in proper manner.
