risen in Africa since Stanley became the
Heralds explorer, or that African hos
pitality has degenerated.
To show that We are not doing injustice
to SANKEY'S manner of exploration, we
quote from one of his late letters:
We have had four battles since we left
the coast The first occurred in Turn with
9 desperate set of savages, rivaling the
Apaches in ferocity and determination. The
battle lasted three days. lost twenty one
men killed. Their loss was thirty-fve killed,
and some hundred or 30 wounded. Twice
we made q clean sweep through their coun.
try, burning and destroying everything we
came across, and would have liked to ex-
terminate the wretches had not my mission
required my duty in another direction.
And this is the commissioner, and this
the expedition from which the Herald ex-
poets to achieve renown. Vain expecta-
ton! Ethiopia will not stretch out her
hands in welcome to any such unscru-
pulous invader.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-08-20

extensive educational system are not what
might be expected, in consequence of the
priestly and monarchical restrictions which
hedge it round.
3. The assertion attributed to Arch
bishop Perche rests upon the authority of
one of the ladies of this city, who was at
the time the scene referred to occurred, a
teacher, and a constant attendant at the
Cathedral. This was, however, about two
and one-half years ago, and we believe
there has been something like relaxa-
ton of the rule which, by the way, was
never a general one in this city.
4. Father Scollard is correct in suppos-
ing that the word "Romanist" was not
intended in an offensive sense. We used
it to distinguish the Roman Catholic or,
as he would call it, the Universal Church
from the Episcopal, or Church of Eng
land, which also claims to be ''the Holy
Catholic Church" The distinction be-
tween the Eastern or Greek and the West
ern or Roman Church, was also in mind.
From Father Scollard's standpoint there
is, of course, but one Church, while the
American politician is bound to recognize
some dozens. We certainly were not
aware that ''Romanist," when used by a
Protestant, was deemed a word of re-
proach, or we should have avoided it.
We are content to let the remainder of
the communication go to the reader with
out comment.

States for the adjustment and recovery
of such claims.
These bills are pending before the
House, and MI. Baker charges that it is
The settled purpose of the Southern De.
mocracy to carry them at the earliest mo-
ment.
They only await, he says
A Democratic victory to carry them to a
success whose gigantic proportions sppall
the mind.
Then comes the application Of these
charges:
There are 142 other bills, seeking relief
for the South, whose amount only reaches q
few millions of dollars. These are too petty
in the face of these grander schemes of
plumber to demand more extended COM
ment. Let US recapitulate these greater
schemes which have mentioned:
The direct tax job Observation-Disclosures. $2492 ITO
he cotton tax job. ...........'.'.. 90 oa2 $50
Total amount Of jobs. So 1888 All 1893
Mr.. Baker asks
Can you trust the Southern Democracy
and their Northern allies to keep this fear
full burden from your shouldersl In war
they were united in heart; in peace they are
not divided.
He appeals to Northern caution:
With such vast schemes of plumber to
call them together, the army of lobbyists,
rings, and political sharpers who will intest
the capital under Democratic rule will be
thicker than the lice and more voracious
than the locusts of Egypt. This is only one
OF the phases of public plumber under the
sounding name of reform to which the
present corrupt and prCfligate Democracy
invite the country.
Twenty or thirty millions saved up at
this session to be appropriated next,
would be very small affair in COM
parison with what the Democrats and
doughfaces might do if they should ''get
their tongs in at the election.
1t really looks scary, don't it? The
war to be fought over again, the supre-
macy of the Union repealed, the sover-
eighty of the States asserted, and the
people of the North assessed with two
thirds of debt of three thousand mil
lions in addition to that which they now
carry. While our blatant Democrats
boast of the reform economies, the con-
viction of few dishonest Republican
officials, and the incapacity of the colored
voters, it seems that the Republicans
have to meet terrible set of issues.
When, however. we see the war Repub-
licans open upon the designs of the Con-
federate Democracy, it is very plain that
our Democratic masters do not have it all
their own way.

THE PROPOSED RETIREMENT OF ADMIN
ISTRATOR PILSBURY.


Several of our city contemporaries have
paid handsome and, we may say, deserved
compliments to MIR. Pilsbury, Admins
traitor of Finance, since his announce
ment of an intention to retire from Office.
Perhaps the fact that he is not likely to
stand in the way of ambitious aspirants
with a financial turn of mind for NUM-
cipal honors, may have had its influence
in bringing out the compliments. There
is no doubt MI. Pilsbury deserves we'll of
his party and the public. He has not, of
course, fulfilled the extravagant predic-
tons which the Democratic papers made
for him before his election. But nobody
of sense expected that he or any other
man could make much out of the city
finances, involved as they were in difficult
ties arising from the inability and unwill-
ingness Of large number of taxpayers to
pay their dues. Mr.. Pilsbury's policy has
been to favor local interests at the ex-
pense of the foreign Maenhauts and Nor
ris Rangers, and he has achieved tenn
porary success with the assistance of the
courts, the Legislature and public opin-
ion. He has been, moreover, at all times
courteous and gentlemanly in his official
intercourse with the public. We add our
regrets for his prospective retirement,
since it is likely he will be succeeded by
some Democrat with more ward influence
than financial sense, and perhaps more
party zeal than official integrity.
