New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-02-10

Mr.. Davis letter, which was called out
by Nh. Blaine's speech, appears in late
exchanges. The purport of it appears to
be that, though Union prisoners admit
tedly ''were not as well provided for as one
would like to have them yet they Jared
much better than the Confederate prison
ers in the North. Further, that the Con-
federate government was always anxious
to exchange prisoners, while the United
States government refused. Thus it will
be seen that no new light is thrown on
the question by this letter. That the
Confederate government constantly sought
to obtain everything which could be
used in Europe as an evidence Of
the recognition of its status as an
equal power, is we'll known to everybody.
That it was deemed contrary to good
policy to thus treat with the insurgents is
equally well known. This decision,
however, did not excuse the Confederate
government for keeping prisoners in con-
fnement whom they did not have the
means to feed. Whatever wrongs the
United States authorities may have in
ficted on Confederate prisoners, or what
ever were believed to have been, did not
justify the Confederates in their wrongs to
their prisoners, unless it was done openly
and avowedly as retaliatory measure.
MIR. Davis letter sounds like an admission
in part of the charges, with an attempt to
justify by showing that our side was
more severe than the Contederates. It is

STILL OPPOSING REFORM.

From the opposition to cutting down
the salaries Of city officials which was
manifested in the Senate on Tuesday, We
suppose nothing practical will be done
in that direction. The bill may be passed
by the Senate, but it will stand no chance
Of success in the House. 1t strikes al
Democratic patronage, which is not the
end the professional reformers are aiming
at. The Republicans alone are their
game. Hence, we see the attempt made
to amend by adding provisions to reduce
the fees of tax collectors.
There is no special necessity for consoli-
dating the two propositions. If the
Democrats are sincere in their professions
of wish to return to more economical
habits, they ought to be delighted to see
beginning made in the business OF re-
duction. The House has prepared and
passed some fifteen or twenty bills, all Of
which strike either directly or indirectly
at patronage in the hands of the Repub-
icans. Not dollar of Democratic inter-
est seems to be menaced by one of them.
The Senate has these bills under consid-
GRAFTON, and may or may not concur. At
any rate, it does right in going on with
the work of legislation in accordance with
its own notion of things. The city off,
GERS, the sheriffs, clerks, district attor-,
neys and other Democratic incumbents of
public places, receive very liberal pay, to
say the least about it, and little iu-
dicious pruning here and there ought
to be approved even by the House; for
if there is any wish on the part of
that body to satisfy the Senate of its SIM
cerity, an application of the political
panacea to home interests would be q
practical way to show it. It looks at
present as though bill which included a
general reduction of salary and per.
quisites all along the line, including men,
beers of the General Assembly, would fail
to receive the support of the Democrats.
They all vote eagerly to cut down Repub-
lican emoluments, but interpose coLstitu-
tional and all other doubts to save their
partisan friends. This may be reform,
but it looks little one-sided.

oters to be silenced or run out of the

voters to be silenced or run out of the
State.
If the people of any section Of this
country wish to show their iucapacity for
State government, they can not do it more
effsctually than by organizing riots in the
interests of such party. The Offices once
in their possession, they will keep quiet
until threatened with removal-so quiet
that not reformatory law, involving loss
of patronage, will even be suggested.
There will be no time to think Of such
things.

charitable purposes and the promotion
! and improvement of the mechanical arts.
Some thirty years afterward the Legisla'
ture gave to the Mechanics Society the
ground upon which the present Mechanics
Institute stands. To this donation was
attached specific condition: l. The
! construction of building on the said
ground suitable for library, lecture room
and cabinet of natural history and me.
chanical inventions. 2. To establish,
upon the completion of said building, q
library for the use of the mechanics oil
New Orleans and an annual course of lee.
lures on the physical sciences, and par
ticularly those connected with agriculture
and the mechanic arts
There was thus specification that the
donation of this State should be complied
with in the collegiate plan of the
building and in the annual course of
lectures on the physical sciences, and
particularly those connected with agri-
culture and the mechanic arts
While the plan Of the building was in
accordance with the specification, no one
can assert that there has been an annual
co utse of lectures delivered there while it
was occupied as State House or since.
There is a pretense that some lectures
have been delivered in the building. This
would be about the same substantial COM
pliance with the condition as was the
forty rods Of shovel work upon the YER
milionville section Of the Mobile and
Texas railroad to the construction Of
the section.
Under state of facts which prima
facie show the lapse of corporate rights,
the forfeiture of ground title and conse-
quent reversion to the State, there is a
plain mode Of reconciling all the difficult
ties of the situation.
l. Mechanics wish "the preservation of
the mechanic arts" The State wishes an
annual course Of lectures on the physical
sciences, and particularly those connected
with agriculture and the mechanic arts.
2. Congress has bestowed upon the
State capital fund of more than two hun
dred thousand dollars dedicated to the
endowment of college Of agriculture
and of the mechanic arts"
Why, then, should not the Senate so
amend the act incorporating the Society
Of Mechanics in the city Of New Orleans"
az to p rescribe that it shall be constituted
the college Of the mechanic arts as pro-
vided for by the act of Congress? Why
should not the State confirm to the society
the title to the ground on which the
Mechanics Institute is located, upon
with this condition? Why
should not the Legislature appropriate
from the income of this congressional
fund the salaries Of professors Of
physical sciences, and other legitimate
expenses of such an institution? With
such harmonious arrangement of in
erests the State ought to pay off other
membranes upon the college, and thus
ecure to New Orleans school of physi-
al science, as applied to manufactures,
ust where it is needed-in the midst Of
ur workshops.

Unfortunate that the financial aues.;o,
has come up at this time. when We need L
| concentrate all our energies In eiectng q
Democratic President.
The dilemma presents two horns One
is conci!iation, on the basis of existing
laws, in which case there would be nc
need for the Democratic party. The
other is the PRONUNCIATION of a financial
policy Of some kind, which would surely
divide the Democratic party. The two
wings Of that party present the extremes OF
financial radicalism. The one would
food the country with greenbacks By re-
moving the limit of issue; the other will
have nothing but coin tor currency, no
matter whether there be enough in the
the country or 1t.
The Democra y, therefore, finding it
difficult to recon cile either Of the different
sections with TIE law as it stands, and not
daring to PROF. Sc change for fear of
disintegration, may we'll despair of being
of any use to an. body or anything. 1t is
virtually out of active politics, though as
keen for Office as ever. The East and
West will not agree, and the leaders of
Democracy are afraid to side with either.
And such imbecility is called statesman
ship. The leading lights Of this party,
whenever they find themselves in the peni-
Tertiary for stealing, register themselves
as statesmen"
What confidence can be placed in such
men? The infationist would ask that
his peculiar notions be adopted, while the
hard money man would clamor for coin,
and each in confident expectation of sue
cess, for each could cite plenty Of Demo-
cratic authority in support Of his position
The business man who favors the law sit
is, with its provisions expressed and i'm
piled for gradual resumption, could call
Mr. Morrison, the leading financier of the
Democratic party, as witness in support
of the harmony policy, which means to
let things alone as they are.
There never was a party so anxious to
do something to commend itself to public
favor, without knowing what to do, as the
Democracy. They stand ready to do any
thing that is demanded of them if they
can only obtain public employment. They
are as ready to expand the currency all
over the country as to contract it into the
smallest possible dimensions. They would
as readily repeal the charters of the ma
tional banks and force them into liquida-
ton as to confer greater privileges upon
them. And this is the party, with one
head in the West, another in the East and
the tail in the South, that puts itself for
ward as a candidate for political power.
