AN UNQUIET GHOST.

Crest perturbed spirit" This Wheel
er compromise, We mean. It's ghost rises
on every occasion. A Republican mother
can hardly spank her own child without
arraying in arms the spirit of this noble
compromise. The tardy determination to
seat Senator Pinchback is the latest dis
turber of this poor spectre. The Wash
ington specials say that the Democrats de-
clare that such action will be a violation
Of the Wheeler compromise! How absurd!
This famous compromise must have been
far reaching in its effects to do so much.
1t overrides the Senate and repea.s tina.
clause of the constitution which makes
each house Of Congress a Judge Of the
election of its own members. For aught
we know it will cross the seas and prevent
the proposed closing out sale to the Pope
of last remnant Of old Rituaists
which has been offered his holiness at a
great bargain.
What this wonderful compromise has
to do with the case Of Senator Pinchback
is hard to imagine. At any rate, if il be
so easily broken, let It go. Perhaps we
can make another which will not be so
sensitive

oOMPL1MENTING THE JUDICIARY,

Mr.. Lowell is not the only person who
will ask for the object which Mr.. Young
expects to gain by the adoption of his
resolution of confidence in Judge Trimble.
If it be only to ''do justice to an honest
man and good judge" who was elected
as Republican, why not include all
judges who ere honest and good, and who
owe their positions to Republican votes?
Is there such peculiar virtue and potency
in an expression Of confidence by one
branch of the government in one of the
members of coordinate branch as to
confirm him in his virtuous ways? Is such
moral tonic needed more in the case of
Judge Trimble than in that Of any other
member of the judiciary? Are we to sup
pose that because he is singled out for COM
pliment, none of his brethren are worthy
of this high distinction? Mr.. Guichard

4 DEMAND FOR LOCAL HELP.

Our special Washington correspondent
informs us that the members of Congress
from this State complain that they dc not
receive that assistance from the press of
New Orleans in aid of measures effecting
this locality which they expect and desire.
We think the point is well taken. Too
much attention is given to idle gossip
about matters that have no possible
public interest, to the petty quarrels
waged to get Republicans out Of coveted
places, and to the propagation Of grave
SANDERS against the characters of officials,
merchants and even private persons in
social stations. The field usually aban.
doned in Boston and other cities to the
Police Gazette is here well stocked with
laborers, while the suggestions Of true
craftsmanship are crowded out for want
Of room, or dwarfed in small type and
assigned to obscure corners. The great
work of bringing the State government
into contempt occupies more of the at
tention Of the Democratic papers than
such an upset would be worth even to
them, for neither they nor their creditors
would gain much by it. We might have
had the levee appropriation last year by
united action. The fifteen thousand dol
lars appropriation for the mint could
have been ten times that amount but for
the fact our local politicians were busily
employed making certificates of character
in favor of each other to offset the merci-
less and epigrammatical dispatches of
General Sheridan. Inflated columns,
filled with the doings of Sunday Sinners
or the Shotgun Echoes" are not the very
best documents to file before a Congress
sional committee in plea for pecuniary
aid, however they may help to fill the
local market basket with the "nimble six
pence"
The REPUBLICAN has time and again en-
deavored to consign our Last Ditch Radi-
cal Democratic leaders to quiet OBJ
security, but they generally succeeded in
kicking some of our friends on the way,
when we had to stop more important
work to stop the fuss. No doubt our To-
cal squabbles have given us very bad
name abroad, while they have SO occupied
attention as to cause us to neglect inter-
ests of great moment. Yet, we are not
disposed to permit our Congressman to
throw all the blame on the city press. At
least one of them went to Washington
breathing threatenings and slaughter
against Governor Kellogg and the Wheeler
compromise. He has not accomplished
his projected work of destruction, nor
any other, SO far. If our representatives.
are unable to make themselves sufficiently
persuasive togain for Louisiana q fair
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-02-01

share Of appropriations it ia their own
fault. The columns Of the city press are
open to any suggestions calculated to pro-
mote the public interest, and the men,
bers from this State do not seem to have
much better occupation than would
be the business Of enlightening the
capital upon Louisiana affairs. If the
newspapers are expected to do all this work,
why give six or eight men $500 year
each to go to Congress? If the right to
select Senators and Representatives in
Congress were given to the conductors OF
the press in this city, there would be in
slant recalls. Gentlemen would be selected
who know how to get around among
people, and to cut good figure in public.
We should then know that we had men at
the other end of the line who were alive
to the duty and able to utilize what little
aid the press was able to afford them.

THE TEST OF REFORM,

The Bulletin reminds the Democratic
party that they must inaugurate and carr.
out system of reform:
Not for the sole purpose of graeping tn
| spOils of office, but tor the honest purpose
| Of tightening the burdens of the people BY
| abollshing all needless office, and reducing
| the incomes of office to legitimate ant
frugal standard.
It becomes more pointed as it proceeds
and says:
| The enormous fees and perquisites Of
office enjoyed by officials in this city are be
yOnd all reason and prOprIety.
This is the true doctrine, but We teal
this apostle of reform breaches on evi-
dence of true faith which the Democratic
candidates for sheriff and clerk will not
exactly appreciate.
The good book tells parable that a
young man, desiring to become follower
of the Saviour, asked what would be nec-
essary to qualify him for that object. He
had studied the law and the prophets
from his youth upward. When, however.
he was informed that he must give his
substance to the poor, he departed sor-
rowful, for he was exceeding rich" We
apprehend that when reform shall assume
the practical character of performing pull
lie services for fair and ad calorem CON-
pensation; when it is understood that the
public printing is to be no longer what it
was when the Courier, and afterward the
Crescent, were run upon its proceeds, and
when some industrious job Office may even
underbid the organs expectant, the De-
mocracy will speedily lose their interest
in those works Of economy which they
must perform at the daily wages Of ordi-
nary book-keepers and job printers.
These Democratic economists have now
all the offices and employments Of the
city government. They have comfortably
raised their own expenses by diminishing
those of the schools and police. What
will they think of such schedule as that
presented by the Bulletin? It is well

wages, but ".he gentlemen Of Louisiana
have rights to all this tythes and first
fruits Of office. Why not say: The Re-
publicans are ineligible to Office. The
Democracy are entitled to compensation
liked at their own discretion. 1t should
support gentleman in all the elegancies
# life, compensate with its parquisites
he drudges hired to perform the
luties and furnish a sufficient capital |
o establish gentleman complete |
y for the rest of his life. We |
hould not be surprised if the Bulletin
lid not experience some abatement of |
hat party patronage, which consists in
inscriptions to the paper, and be marked |
S dangerous and inpracticable organ.
Il the meantime the REPUBLICAN sub
cribes entirely TO the doctrine, because
7hen the Democratic bounty money shall
re no longer paid out by the candidates
or lucrative office, the laboring mer,
tho compose the bulk Of the Republican
arty, may be allowed to come to the
oils.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-02-01
"NraRO ORGANIZATIONS


Under this heading, the New Orleans
Bulletin robs Mr.. J. NJ. Edmunds, of
Washington, Of portion of the honors
due him, by saying that Senator George
F. Edmunds, Of Vermont, has long held
the position of secretary Of the executive
committee of the Republican party. :"
The Bulletin also says, with equal accu-
racy, that Senator Edmunds, according to
claims in his behalf, has been very eff
cient in the organization Of the negroes of
the South into Union Leagues. and into
Constitutional Union Guards; asserting,
at the same time, that cit has long been
known that the negroes of the Southern
States were acting under the rules of
very stringent organization, and adding,
cat one time, and, SO far as we know, it is
now the secret, sworn, military order of
the Grand Army of the Republic" The
Bulletin can easily set itself right on the
Edmunds matter, and the secretaryship of
the Republican Executive Committee, and
if it wishes to know more than it knows
now concerning the Grand Army of the
Republic, it can inquire of the members,
who make no secret Of its soldiers re-
union, loyal and social purposes, and find
out that there are no posts Of colored
men, or colored members anywhere in
that organization. If Democrats are kept
out Of the Grand Army of the Republic
it is because its membership is made up
Of men who have been Union soldiers or
sailors, and not because the organization
is in any sense q political branch of TIE
party.

an ATTEMPT TO REVIVE TEE LIE
CHANCES SOCIETY.

CHANCES SOCIETY.
In the House of Representatives, Fri
day, Mr.. Seeman, of New Orleans, pre-
sented petition, which was referred to
the Committee on Corporations, asking
for the continuation of the charter OF the
New Orleans Mechanics Society for the
term of fifty years. To an outsider, this
looks very like job. The Mechanics
Society was incorporated in 1921, for
twenty Years. In 1888 the charter was
extended for thirty years more. Thus,
early in the year 1871, the charter of the
Mechanics Society expired by limitation,
and no steps have been taken to revive it
till now.
In this connection it way be we'll to
remind our readers that in the year 1850
the land wLereon the Mechanics Institute
now stands, and upon which formerly
stood the State House, was donated to the
Mechanics Society on certain conditions,
but with the proviso that whenever the
society should fail to do or perform any
of the acts required Of it-among which
are to establish and maintain a library
for the use of the mechanics of New Or
leans and an annual course of lectures on
the physical sciences-''then the land of
which they are hereby given the posses
sion and occupancy shall be taken possess
sion of by the Governor on behalf of the
State, and all the buildings and improve
ments made thereon shall be forfeite for
the use of the State"
1t is notorious that the Mechanics So
ciety had for many years before the war
neglected and refused to comply with its
part Of the contract; the society itself has
been dead to the law for some five years;
the Mechanics Institute has had in all
that time no legal owner. It has become
the property of the State, and has been
simply waiting for the States law officer
to 60 and take it.
Shortly after the inauguration of Gov
ernor Kellogg he made an investigation
Of the matter, and was so well satisfied of
the right of the State to the property that
he directed Attorney General Field to
take the necessary steps to obtain possess
sion Of it. The old "Roman" has, it
seems, failed to do his duty in this matter.
Assistant Attorney General Dibble has
since taken hold Of the matter, however,

Richmond, Virginia, is not particularly
grateful to the wounded heroes who carry
their misfortunes with them. The Evening
journal Of a recent date says: Hubert
Daley, one-legged tramp from New
Orleans, discharged by Justice White yes
.erday, upon promising to leave the city,
was hauled up again this morning on the
charge Of vagrancy, and in default of surety
was sent to jail" This man may have lost
his leg while fighting in the Confederate
ranks or wrestling with buzz saw in Ala
bama; but there appears unseemly haste in
putting q man in Jail because he has only
one leg and can not get out Of town 80

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY l. 1875.

and there is every reason to believe the
State will soon regain possession of her
property. The only effect, therefore,
Of granting the petition presented by
Mr.. Seeman would be to create claimant
to the property where there is none now.
We trust the Republican members Of the
House will see to it that no such act is
put through the Legislature.
