APPEAL FOB MERCY.

Yesterday Judge Woods passed sentence
upon the various parties convicted of con-
spiracy to defraud the revenue by illicit
distillation. This contamination to the
trials evoked from all classes of our citi-
zens profound commiseration and sympa-
thy for the sufferers although it was not
unexpected, OF considered unduly harsh
upon the part of the government.
Evasions of the revenue laws, which
originated and became systematized under
the lax and inefficient policy of the An
drew johnson Democracy, ceased in great
measure to be regarded in the public
mind as morally criminal; hence the dis
grace of Imprisonment for this class of
offenses strikes at first as terribly severe.
The popular expression is not, how
ever, that the parties found guilty shall
escape punishment, but rather that the
imprisonment portion of the sentences
rendered be so modified that the resulting
consequences may not be unnecessarily
great to the unfortunates themselves, and
to others and innocent parties whose in
terests are indissolubly linked with theirs.
All the prisoners are men Of family,
and their transportation to the distant
jails of West Virginia must cause loss and
suffering to wives and children and to
business interests, that the court did not
contemplate as part of the legal penalty,
and which may be measurably avoided by
changing the place of confinement. An
effort will therefore be at once made to
fix the locality finally in the New Orleans
Parish Prison, and the President be petit
toned to so commute the sentence. We
sincerely hope he will do SO. This pro-
per leniency will in no degree Illustrate
the ends of justice or impair the vindica-
ticn of the laws majesty and supremacy
so sternly exemplifed in these concluded
whisky cases.

found or left no stain upon his personal
character. He is the representative of
political influences Of great force in a po-
litical campaign. They are those Of the
press, Of mercantile relations, and of
those sinews of politi cal warfare upon
which the efficient agencies Of political
canvass SO greatly depend. Such would
be the character and the value of an East
ern representation.
Yet the West has also its claims and it's
influence. Among the most perfect rep
resentatives of this section stands Hon.
0. P. Morton, of Indiana. Of him it may
be said that there is none who has given
to the preservation of the Union more
resolute and effective support, nor can
any statesman claim to have committed
himself to the maintenance of those rights
which the constitution has given and
guaranteed with so much ability and
with such unfinching sacrifice Of his
political prospects to the execution
of his own political convictions. In
these observations we express the belief
Of almost the entire Republican party in
Louisiana, certainly Of the whole Republi-
can colored masses. While the Republic
cans Of Louisiana have not the power to
prescribe their own choice, nor even to i'm
pose condition upon their support of q
sound nominee, there could be no nomina-
tioa which would more cordially unite the
Republicans in its support than that of
either of the distinguished statesmen
named.
The preservation Of right and of life
which many Of the Republicans in Louis
lana deem involved in the result of the
ensuing election, is paramount to any
system Of finance or commerce, or to any
sectional division. The object of the
Republicans of Louisiana consists in the
establishment of the principles Of the
amended constitution, and the laws passed
Hereunder. To the success of this object
Louisiana will sacrifice any preference
and every aspiration. While her own
vote will be made known by her rep
resentatives, she will accept and support
any true and tried Republican whom the
majority of the convention may deem best
qualified to secure the vital object stated.
The attitude of Louisiana at Cincinnati
will then be firm, conciliatory committed
neither for nor against any nominee, but
prepared to cast her modest vote for such
candidates as in her own opinion, and
that of the convention, can best represent
the interests Of the nation and Of the Re-
publican party.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-06-03

much larger proportion Of the travel and
merchandise. We read that contest for
the Western trade has broken out among
the railroads of New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore; that rail contracts have
been made from Chicago to New York at
fifteen per cent per hundred weight. or
nine cents bushel for grain. 1t is said
that the consequence of this war
Has been remarkable increase Of traffic.
The number of bushels shipped from lake
ports during the last week Of April and the
first week Of May was 8,445,3 l1 in 1876, and
only 4,2l7, 1873 during the same weeks III 1873,
an increase of more than one hundred per
cont. In movement of anthracite coal, the in
crease in April, 1876, compared with the
same month of 1875 was seventy-six per
cent, and in movement Of cotton twenty
seven per cent.
We may see the EXCHANGED prosperity
of these Eastern cities in this state
ment:
Nowonder that railway earnings increase,
for though there has been an extraordinary
decrease in rates charged, there has been q
corresponding increase in many OF the
greater branches of traffic, and the pub
lished statements of monthly earnings show
only gross receipts of railways, and give no
idea of the expenses incurred by the
largely increased movement.
The efforts of this competition upon the
road may be to impair the value of their
stock, but the New York Tribune speculat-
ing upon the possible consequences, says:
But it is not possible as yet to soy how
| far the enormous increase OF traffic prompted
| by low rates may encourage the railways to
permanent reductions. For some years.
every great strife has served to convince
| the leading railways that lower rates were
| practicable than had ever been adopted.
| Pc, b sps like result, bent fetal in the end
| both to the community and to the railways,
| may follow the struggle which now causes
| such loss to transporters.
We see the extraordinary stimulus thus
given to the cross trade, and We find the
theory stated that this competition may
be permanent. Now, will not this extraor-
binary diversion of the Mississippi trade
account for the decline of our city? Might
| it not be better to counteract the loss of
trade by railroads into Texas, steamships
to Rio and additional facilities of postal
and commercial intercourse with Mexico,
Central and South America. The politi-
clan will no doubt say the mechanic is a
sordid and stupid person, who prefers fair
and constant wages, with home Of his
own to political progress in a rented tene-
ment. Whatever may be the opinion Of
the politician, howsoever contemptuods
his estimate Of an operator who may have
never read Hallam's "Middle Ages, OF
studied the cross marks of the Barons
upon the parchment of Magma Charta, we
are satisfied that the men who work fol
themselves intend to think for themselves,
| and if they think the construction of a
railroad to Texas will do them more good
than the deposition of Kellogg and the
Inauguration of McEnery, they are going
to have their own way about it.

Unfortunately, however, for the complete
success of the conspiracy, the people
have grown tired of the whole thing. Mr..

It is a gratifying fact that this most
searching and sweeping inquiry for DAM
aging testimony has, so far, resulted in
establishing the entire integrity and pro-
bity of every Republican attacked except
Belknap, whose case is before the Senate.
Messrs. Pendleton, Blaine and Kerr have q

they will have no difficulty in showing thai
they are not worse than the average Dem.
