NEW ORIEANS REPUBLICAN WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3d. 1876

ton to adjourn is always in order; that
the Senate having rescinded its resolution
both houses were no longer in agreement
on the hour of adjournment, and that the
mere passage of the resolution under
such contingency did not authorize the
Speaker to declare the House adjourned
sine die, and, therefore, motion to ad-
iourn over the time was in order, is de-
Tended as strictly parliamentary.
As the minority, under protest, with the
five exceptions, yielded, legislation has
gone on as usual, and the members will
work at two dollars day till all the bust
ness before them is disposed Of. But the
feeling is very strong on both sides and
the action will be an issue in the next
campaign.

WORK FOR THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.

WORK FOR THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.
The following letter is only sample of
many that have been received for some
time back from our subscribers in the in
terror of the State:
MONTGOMERY, La, August -, 1876.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
have made complaint once before this
of not receiving my paper. l, is now going
on tour weeks since l received it, and unless
YOU can send it up on the Bart Able, the
Grand Ecore packet, you had just as well
keep it so far as l am concerned. l DOM
want to pay for q paper and let lot OF
thieves that stay around the postofhce
read it. Why don't you cay something IN
your paper the way the postotice is
msnaged9 Everybody is postmaster POI 1n 19pn that
wants to be. JAMES w. blhO.
We have no doubt our correspondent
has just grounds Of complaint, while at
the same time we are satisfied no blame
can attach to the postofice in this city.
We are compelled to meet, face to face,
the unpleasant fact that there is no re-
liable mail service in the interior Of the
State. For some years the carrying Of
the mails has been in the hands of q
Washington monopolist, who has been
enabled, by devious ways to obtain and
maintain the confidedce and assistance of
sundry late officials at the capital. In
order to make his contracts pay hand
somely, enough to enable him to practice
the EXON of addition, division and
silence" he has sublet-and-sublet, until
many of the most important routes are
served by negro boy on a mule, who
permits the bogs to be over-hauled by
every conner, and is himself incapable OF
knowing wether the mail is robbed or not.
There was q time when Louisiana was
allowed a special agent who would and
did attend to all complaints, and remedy
them so far as he could do so without ex-
citing the ire of contractor more pow
erful than he at headquarters; but many
months ago Mr.. jolly was removed to st.
Louis, and now there is no one here to
look to for redress. We hope the new
Postmaster General will cause the irregu-
larities in the Louisiana mail service to
be investigated and the evils corrected.
If he wants information he can obtain it
of prominent Republicans, ex-members
of Congress and others whom be knows
personally, who assure US that they
ceased long ago to trust important COM
munications in the mail. Unless q
change for the better is promptly had,
we shall be tempted to come closer home
to the root of the evil with names, facts
and figures.

It would be no reply to say that this

of the law. The point is that Mr.. Pierce,
Democratic President, of his own motion
and without any enforcement resolution,
declared it his purpose, as it was in his
opinion his duty, to execute the existing
laws of the United States everywhere
within it's jurisdiction. This portion OF
his message was referred to Congress,
and on the eleventh Of February Presi-
dent Pierce issued-not department Or
der--but proclamation which comedies
with the department regulations Of Secre-
tary Cameron. mot inconsistent with the
law" though being an executive docu-
ment, it made President Pierce far more
responsible for the precedent.
We are aware this is an extended COM
ment on our text, but in the anticipated
discussion Of the acts and principles OF
the two parties, it will become necessary
that substantial authorities shall be given
on either side, either in attack or defense.
The opinions of the American people are
formed upon the able and temperate ar.
guments and evidence presented in Con-
eress the motives of the Democratic
Congress in adopting resolutions i'm.
pressing upon the President the enforce
ment of the election law. It will not be
believed that Congress could or would
have armed the President with more
power, or that it would have urged upor
him new powers for the oppression of the
South. It will be seen that the President
has been exhorted by the Democratic
Congress to perform his legal duties, ane
it has been shown that he could not, ant
need not have done more than the election
law authorized and required him to do.

What sad confession for the Mayor of
q great city-the official head of Demo-
cratic constituency which is depended
upon to decide even the State election in
that party's favor-to make calmly and
deliberately to his own party organ! If
anything in the world should make our
people pause right here on the eve OF the
election, and putting partisanship aside,
decide to seek genuine End true reform
through the medium of honest men, it is
such terrible official confession as this
of the rottenness Of the ascendant party.
When asked why the wharf contractors
had been shown such unusual favoritism,
and why the city did not reassume its
proper control, Mayor Leeds, to repre-
sentative of the Democrat, made the
Candid assertion of its incapacity of col
lecting the wharf revenues without incur
ring the danger of loss through negligent
and unfAithful servants.
Mayor Leeds is not the man to have
put so grave stigma upon Democratic
aspirants tor Office without just grounds.
He is experienced in the wiles OF his
party, and his official position has afforded
him exceptional opportunity to ascertain
the individual qualities Of its leaders.
His further assertion that this neglect or
dishonesty is more to be apprehended
from the incoming than the present ad-
ministration but adds to the gravity of
the danger.
There is but one hope Of safety for New
Orleans. Let the people obey their hon
est instincts, and defeat at the polls the
unfit and incompetent men whom Mayor
Leeds admits his party design thrustlng
into power.

A PEOPLE FIT TO GOVERN.

The Bulletin speaks Of the influence OF
public morals on private character" Sup
pose it reverse the proposition? 1t is i'm
possible that an ignorant and vicious
people can have good government OF
their own choice. 1t is equally certain
that people, respectable for their pri-
vate character, would not select bad men
for rulers. England, Germany, and even
Russia, are prosperous under the rule of
hereditary mparch. Spain, Turkey
and France, under the Bourbon kings,
seem replete with the misery of their
people. The republic of Switzerland,
and the United States, have established
high claim to the respect of nations.
The Spanish-American republics, under
q COPY of the American constitution,
have fallen into anarchy and insolvency.
If, then, the prosperity Of people de-
ponds upon the character of the people,
we may suppose it would become the
first duty Of statesman to prepare the
people for the performance Of this duty.
There must be, then, system of rental,
moral and industrial instruction, capable
of preparing the youth for taking charge
of the inheritance.
We will make political application OF
these remarks. The Democratic party OF
the South have, on a principle of unwise
policy, opposed a system OF common
schools chiefly on the ground that prop
erty should not be taxed to educate num-
! bers. They have opposed manufacturing
employment on the theory that the factory
| or workshop was focus Of wickedness.
They have never favored works OF internal
| improvement, and have never originated
any plan for giving the people homes Of
their own on any public domain, OF by
| subdivision of landed estate.
Without employment and without
homes, people are exposed to many
| temptations. Denied employment fol
their industry and enterprise, men with
l OUL Cdplldl uuot ouOoAos - tVA sAS S~A>
or indirect contributions Of others. The
Republican doctrine and practice is the
reverse of this in all respects, and thus
the influence of an educated and thrifty
people has given prosperous and powerful
governments to the Northern and Western
States, which have enabled them to defeat
| the Southern States in the field and te
place their own construction upon the
| common constitution.
We believe, therefore, that it is the people
who ultimately make their own govern
ment, whether it be good or bad. 1t is
therefore, the duty of the statesman and
patriot to care for the moral and indus
trial character of the people. The people
themselves should prefer that party which
thinks Of them and for them, and who's
policy leads to the preparation Of tn
people for self-government.
