New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-01-25
THE APP0RTIONMEKT BILL.

The general impression prevails that the
joint caucus of the two parties have agreed
upon basis for the apportionment of the
State. We may safely leave the details
of the bill to the wisdom of those who
have the matter in charge. The only
question in which the general public has
much interest has been solved by the
alleged agreement, or will be when ratified
by both houses of the General Assembly.
For some time fears were entertained that
the Democrats would attempt to set the
census aside, by legislative declaration,
on trumped up charge Of errors here
and there. Without being able to state
definitely what would be the legal effect
of such action on the part of the Legisla-
ture, we believe the political effect would
be injurious. 1t would not only set a bad
precedent, but in the opinion of many
would interrupt the business oflegislation.
We think it lnay be conceded that the
census will be accepted as correct Be-
yond this there can be little or no serious
dispute. The rest of the work is almost
ministerial, requiring no greater degree of
skill in mathematics than any ordinary
boy or girl in the primary departments Of
of the public schools can supply.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-01-25

The oracular announcement that 1.-The
election of Hon. James B. Beck as Sem
ator from Kentucky is highly gratifying
to all sincere Democrats" would be quite
as applicable in case any other sincere
Democrat Of the large number who Of
fered themselves for the position had been
chosen. There can be no doubt that
Kentucky has many sincere Democrats,
natives of the soil, who would derive
much greater satisfaction if the man of
their choice had been selected. It's, how
ever, solemn duty in Democratic usage to
profess qualification sometimes when the
bitter tears of envy and disappointment
are ready to gush forth and threaten to
betray the hypocrisy. The friends of the
defeated candidates may be highly graft
fed at the success of the gallant Gale
DOMAIN, but they are not at present very
boisterously mirthful about it.

Influence exerted by the presence Of

wish for the peace and prosperity of Lou

be saved without rewarding Mr.. McEnery

THE MERCHANTS EXCHANGE.

The scheme which was set on foot last
winter to incorporate the Merchants Ex-
change and clothe it with certain political
powers and privileges has been revived at
the present session. We have not exam
ined the bill in detail, but are assured Of
several of its Objectionable features. tits
proposed to grant the Exchange charter
similar to those Of the Chamber of Com
MERGE and Cotton Exchange, and in addi-
ton give it the power to appoint certain
inspectors and gaugers of merchandise,
portwa rdens, harbor masters, public

There it 10 again. The Morehouse Clarion
NO sooner nominates Mr. Moncure for Gov
erner than the Baton Rouge Advocate comes
out saying, "We must dissent from the
proposition of the Clarion, for the reason
that Major Moncure is the de jare State
Treasurer and will be called on ere long to
take charge Of his Office" M. Aoncure
should profit by the example of DR.. AcMil-
len, who resigned from his position -
United States Senator. A man should not
clog himself up with too many offices

weighers, etc. The chief object In apply
ing for charter seems to be to vest in
the hands of few dealers and commits.
sion merchants the control and patronage
which such q grant Of political powe,
would give them. It follows that the ap-
pointees to situations more or less lucra-
tive and responsible would be no more
! than the obedient servitors of those who
gave them their places and held over them
the power of removal. The value of Off
cial inspection would soon be greatly de-
preclated under such system, as the
work would be almost entirely in the
hands of interested parties. The -four
merchants would soon take measures
to have their merchandise marked
high enough, while all the men,
bers OF the Exchange would be
intent upon conserving their own par
ticular interests. Falsely branded mer-
chandise is always more dangerous than
unbranded. It receives from the official
inspectors certain certificate of quality
which is accepted as prima facie evidence
of the quality expressed, and throws the
onus Of proof to the contrary upon parties
whose interest it may be to call it in
question. Aside from the danger from
this cause, the bill is Objectionable in that
it confers on an entirely irresponsible
body portion Of the authority which the
laws as we'll as the usages of this State
have vested in officers appointed for the
purpose. There is no reason why the
official inspectors Of merchandise should
be appointed by an incorporated body of
traders that would not apply with equal
force to tax collectors, sheriffs, clerks of
court, etc. Good merchants already
have experts in their employ to protect
their own interests. They require GER
tain degree of ability in their clerks before
intrusting them in responsible matters,
and are themselves, as a class, very good
judges Of the articles of their traffic. To
protect the inexperienced purchaser
against the impositions Of those who are
unprincipled it may be necessary to ap-
point officers with sufficient capacity and
honesty for the purpose; but they should
be entirely independent of their employ
ers, which could never be the case were
the power of appointment and removal
given as indicated in the bill.
1t looks like very big job. There may
not be millions in it, but there is enough
to make it wolth the while of delegation
Of traders to be very anxious for its sue
cess. So anxious, indeed, are some Of the
parties engaged, that they have certified
to the Legislature that several merchants
who are earnestly opposing the bill favor
its passage. As the day of jobs has passed
away-at least it is said so-let US hope
the whole commerce of New Orleans is not
about to be turned over to the control of
a very few men, unless some better reason
can be given for it than any yet assigned.
