should not be honored with prosecution.
It is true that il has applied to the Presi-
dent Of the United States the same sug-
gestions which have preceded the attempts
upon the life Of Governor Kellogg and Of
Governor Packard. but it viii be better to
let the malice die. It win perish under
public contempt for its cowardly purpose.
Such prosecutions for libel are dangerous
They assume the government to be in
danger of overthrow. From this arises
the military protection of the government
and gradually resort to the comparative
forces of parties for every political de-
sign.
The assassination of Julius Caesar
founded the Pr@torian Guards of Au-
gustus. 1t was SO body of soldiers organ
lied for the purpose Of protecting the
person and maintaining the power of the
emperors. Those who regard the Re-
publican Union as failure could not
effect its overthrow by safer and more
inevitable manner than they have chosen.
The process is this: The unqualified per.
sonal defamation Of political opponents
the successful exhortation to the assasina-
ton, and the instructive self-preserva'
ton of men elected or elevated to power
by armed guards and fortified palaces
Let, then, sedition howl against all that is
just or legal The nation will regard itf
mendacious and meretricious malice as 9
harmless venom which the vigorous virtue
of free people will render always in
nocuous,

anything elss which IL likely to promote
the general good to the recognition Of the
Nichols government. We suppose the
papers which Published the telegzaphic
correspondence between Senator Boey,
our Chamber of Commerce and others on
the subject win continue to tell the people
that Randall, Holman and Blount are the
true friends Of Louisians, and that our
Representatives in Congress are alive to
the interests of their constituents.

the beginning he created trembling among

a aoYERNMEnr or zee pEopLE,

The assistant Democratic journals are
quoting as sort Of new gospel string
Of platitudes which are credited to the
Washington National Republican, upon
that everlasting subject, the source Of
power in the government. Thus;
The source Of free government is the
people, and when q government of the peO-
pie In form ceases to be such in fact 1t has
no longer a rightfuI sway, and rules, II ct
all. as despotism.
It is not the principle but the practice Of
government that constitutes oppression,
aud the best government on earth erected
and operated over the heads Of an unWlll-
ing people is in practice the veriest tyranny.
These wise sayings Of the ancients, in
whom ell men now agree, have been
brushed up and brought out to illustrate
the duty Of President Hayes in his policy
toward the South. While there is no dis
pute as to the general correctness of the
dogma, there is wide margin for dispute
as to It's application that, therefore, the
premises considered, it is the duty of the
President to permit the Southern Democ-
racy to seize by bullets what they failed
to get by ballots. The whole argument,
as every other argument Of the Democ-
Eacy in relation to Southern affairs, is
founded upon the erroneous assumption
that The white Democratic voters Of
the Southern States Louisiana, for
instance, are alone the people Of
the State, against whose consent no gov
eminent can stand without violating tho
principles cited as new by the National
RepubRcan. This sort Of reasoning leaves
out Of view the constitutional amend
ments. especially the fifteenth, and gives
preferred position to the amnestied over
the enfkanchised class ia the South. Il is
consistent neither with logic, Truth. nor
tho constitution to do this. This repub-
lie Is founded upon numbers alone. not
upon wealth, intelligence OF respectable
ily. The founders ef the government both
in 1857 and 1870 thought humanity ought
to count for something Heaos they gave
70 every man tie right 70 have his name
enrolled as one Of the people. with 5 voice
in the selection Of rulers equal to that Of

ANOTHER ARRANGEMENT CONE TO
GRIEF.


One by one they fall, like leaves in
wintry weather. Nearly every PROPOSE
ton announced as the result of the great
arrangement has been denied, one
after the other, by the Democratic
specials. One alone remains without
contradiction. That is the statement
that the President viii recognize Nichols
the moment the count is completed.
Perhaps the correspondents thought this
absurd enough to contradict itself and
fall in consequence of its own weakness.
We happen to know the President has
not expressed any such intention, and
that he has no notion Of recognizing Mr..
Nichols. Let our credulous Democratic
friends make note Of this and remember
it for two days. They will fnd we are
right, as usual.

s1ar1FroANT NEWspApRR ART1CLEs.

While the Democrats are parading the
opinions of the Washington National Re
publican as those of the rapidly expiring
administration of President Grant, they
are careful to declare that the recent arti-
Gle in the Ohio Slate Journal does not re-
feet the views Of President Hayes. We
republish this article to-day, on account
of its significance This character. how
ever, is not derived from any superstition
that the President elect or any Of his init
mate friends inspired it, but from the in
herent truthfnlness of its logic. It is this
quality more than anything else which
has invited the assaults Of the Democracy.
President Hayes has not authorized
any one to say the article does not reflect
his views, and nobody can say it is not in
the main sensible and judicious.

Safe Farming.


One OF the safest ways TO farm is to
put good portion of the farm in pas
turage and meadows. After pastures
are well set they cost nothing, aud
they produce great deal. In addi-
ton to summer pasturage there should
be winter pasturage provided, Of blue
grass and orchard grass, aud stock
will keep well most of the winter on
it. Meadows cost nothing after being
formed, and the labor of few days
only is required TO seed large num-
Der of acres, if the improved imple-
menis are used. Whatever tends to
lessen labor, which lessons expense,
should be carefully considered la farm
ing enterprises. This is more espe-
cially the case where one lives quite o
distance from town, where day labor
caunot be employed. II is very annoy
Jug to have crops ripen and so to
waste because labor cannot be got al
the right time. Aud ii is very annoy
ing TO have TO board large number OF
hands, even if they can be obtained.
If the farmer can SO manage as to do
the work on the farm chiefly by the
aid of his own family, he is far more
Independent, and will make more
money than by employing much help.
Hence it is we advise more pasturage
and meadows, This is the season TO
seed for meadows, aud especially tim
othy meadows. win our readers bear
this in mind, prepare their ground, or
der their seed, and SOW it this fall If
they win, we have no hesitation IN say
ing they will have no cause to regret
