BUSINESS FIRST, PLEASURE AFTER.
WARD.

Such used to be the commercial theory
Of New Orleans. Seated at an outlet
through which an immense interior could
alone be entered or quilted, she could
take such toll as the keeper Of such gate
could alone exact. With accumulated
wealth invested in compulsory labor, and
with immense annual revenues from both
sources, what wonder was it that the
people of New Orleans devoted themselves
to a general and generous existence !?
Blessed with climate which, when all
elsewhere was locked in the frigid en-
braces OF winter, New Orleans was redo
lent OF the balm of spring and resplend-
ent with the fruits of autumn. Hence
voyage to our city was inevitably con-
nected with the pleasures of sentiment
and sense. Groves laden with golden
oranges, sugar mills gushing with golden
syrup, the cotton press mining out a
specie staple, theatres, balls, and gala
days for every saint in the calendar, all
eliminating in the strange, mysterious
and foreign festivities of Mardi Gras and
the Mystic Krewe.
Fortunes in that day were the mere

GOSSIP ACCEPTED AS FACT LEADS TO
GARBLING,

We have noticed the dangerous practice
into which the Picayune has fallen. It is
to send correspondent or reporter with
a rowing commission to pick up sensa-
tional gossip, and then to commit the ed
itorial department to the irresponsible
assertions of rumor. We can merely
allude to some of the rather uncomfortable
consequences Of those rowing contributors.
Sometimes suit in damages, or cartel,
may result from allowing the unmuzzled
reporter to illustrate his services by SEN
sational head line not corresponding with
the facts, in the opinion Of the plaintiff:
1t is an old joke. ''if the text had small
pox the sermon would never catch it."
We may say, if the head line of Plea
yune sensation contained treason it could
rarely be convicted upon the substance of
the narrative. We give Late example.

The dispatch of Washington wire.worker

The dispatch of Washington wire.worker
| is headed:
The Governors Cham berlain1 application
for troops refused" governor Chamber
laiu's application for troops" ''The Gov
errors request refused"
This is positive assertion. Let US see
upon what authority it is based. s'The
matter [of Chamberlain's application
was talked over in Cabinet meeting to-
day, but nothing was decided on" It is
added that Governor Chamberlain has
not yet arrived in Washington"
Governor Chamberlain will be here TO-
morrow, and will have an interview on the
subject with the Attorney General and Sec
rotary Of War.
Upon this meagre state, of facts it is
added:
From the tenor of the discussion to-day.
and outside expressions of members of the
Cabinet, it is inferred that Chamberlain
application will be refused, and that he will
be allowed to conduct his campaign un-
aided by the administration.
We respectfully ask any one who re-
spects fair reasoning if, in the absence of
any Cabinet action, and before the ar
rival Of Governor Chamberlain himself, it
is just to publish as history the "Gov-
errors request refused?" We have often
pointed out the dangers to journalism
from this system of false placards. We
are not surprised that it has led the
Picayane serious step beyond this ille-
climate logic. In an article headed
''The Shyster Press we explained the
means and process by which that species
of fallen journals endeavored to impose
upon credulous public. The article
proceeded thus:
Having thus secured the reputation of a
moral and truthful spirit, the anti-Repub-
lican shysters commence their work of
political defamation.
This defamation we deprecated for
the way that the shyster press employs
for the purpose We attributed to them
the most complimentary opinion of their
Democratic friends. The Picayrne, by
the simple device of cutting off the fact |
that these words, so disparaging to Re-
publicans, and so complimentary to the |
Democracy, were attributed to the shys-
ter press, quotes them as ''truth," ad-
mitted and asserted by the REPUBLICAN
Of the Republican party. It even affects
to doubt, after this mutilation of the
record, whether the words We're used in
an ironical sense. No one could have
doubted, had the Picaytne quoted the full
text, nor could the Picayune itself, which
the text, have doubted the
sense in which the words were attributed
to the shyster press.
It is thus, that beginning with the
moral peccadilloes OF assuming and assert.
ing fact upon the gossip Of hearsay, the
PicayAne has come to the grave wrong of
,arbling the text of a contemporary. We
ire satisfied that the practice so injurious
% the repution of the press is the result
# inadvertence or inexperience. We re-
yard the love Of the almighty dollar as
when that coin is acquired
~ honest industry. The pursuit of
lickels is likewise commendable under
he same conditions. The pursuit of
lickels, by accepting rumor as fact and
endering equivocal that which was dis
met, is not a legitimate mode of acquir-
ng either wealth or reputation.

POLITICAL CHANCES.

It is estimated that between 80, 900 and
100000 public offices, which are abso-
lutely at the disposal of the victorious
party, go with presidential election, and
constitute the chief factor in the canvass.
These are the prizes to be drawn by the
ticket holders, the voters, the number Of
which in 1872 was 6,431,OO0. If we
suppose the two great parties to be nearly
equally divided, and the vanquished ex-
cluded from all chances at the prizes, we
shall have an aggregate army Of about
three and half millions among whom to
divide say 100, 900 Offices, great and small,
giving less than twenty-nine to every
thousand voters. The average voters
chance would therefore stand, when ex-
pressed decimally, .O29. This, as
scheme, is not specially inviting. With
but little more work, and at much less
risk, better position can be won in pri-
vate life.
