its leaders have actually proposed foreign
war as a safety.valve to this love of fight.
How shall this war spirit be arrestedl
Plainly, by the conservative peace policy as
set forth in Governor Hayes letter of &C.
ceptance, and in which he speaks for the
Republican party of the nation. With such
q man as Governor Hayes in the White
House it will be impossible for these dan
gerous revolutionary elements to gather
head. He will be able to pacify the South
and to bring order and contentment out of
the elements OF disorder and discomfort
which the late war has left behind.
This question Of peace or war is now the
main question for Southern property own
ers to consider. The success of the Con-
federate Democratic coalition means war.
The election of Governor Hayes as ma
tion's choice to be the President of the ma
ton, and not Of party, means peace. Will
the Southern Conservatives respond to
Governor Hayes invitationl Will they give
him their votes, and thus early and cor
daily inaugarate the era OF good will and
general prosperity to which all are eagerly
looking9 Let every Conservative under
stand that vote for a Confederate Demo-
cratic restoration is a vste for war. B.

Louis, the foreign trade Of New Orleans
would soon exceed two hundred millions
rear. At the present time it u the adjective
point Of ali the various Southern ana south
western lines known to the system of the
Pennsylvanis railroad and To oil other Ar
rangemente
From this it will be seen that the wane
of the Crescent City is due to two prom
inent causes:
/. The diversion of trade by railroads
between the East and West.
2. The incessant political turmoil and
revolutionary violence.
The damage done by the White League
banditti is beyond all calculation.
These, it will be observed, are not our
expressions. They have settled into the
Northern mind from the uncontradicted
deeds of violence which have been spread
throughout the nation and the world by
the American press and telegraph. We
have warned our contemporaries that
however small crowd of local readers
may chuckle over the death of Repub-
lican waylaid and assassinated, the deed
itself is received very differently by mil
lions of humane readers elsewhere.
If the circulation of the White League
organs have any kind of proportion to
their malignity they would overspread the
world and bulldoze every one who would
would not accept their version. The ma
tional press, however, cuts off the bull
dozers' admission of the assassination of
Gair or the mutilation of Twitchell. 1t
adopts even the Ku Klux report of the
Hamburg outrage, but it clips off the pal
liating comments of the Ku-Klux press
and subjoins its own. That these COM
ments differ as much as humanity and
cruelty, can occasion no surprise. No
doubt the Sultan of Turkey is very indig-
nant at the universal condemnation by
all Christendom of the character of his
warfare upon bis subjects. The Demo-
cratic press must have found that the
moral sentiment of the world has been in
like manner, though in subordinate de-
gree, exerted against them.
That the Crescent City is on the ware
is indisputable. We have given, and
shall continue to publish the opinions of
the press of other cities as to the cause.
Thus far they concur in attributing it to
Ku Klux and rival railroads.
