THE STANDARD OF OFFICIAL QUALIFI
CATION.

In addition to the fact that no Southern
Republican had defended the rights of
the party on the floor Of Congress, and
that no Southern Republican was APP
pointed to the Electoral Commission of
fifteen, we now add the fact that no
Southern Republican is spoken of for the
Cabinet except Hon. Mr.. Key, of Tennes-
see, in which State the Republicans are
in minority. Why is this? When the
Republicans of the Southern States stand
like prisoners at the bar, how is it that no
Southern Republicans have appeared in
defense2 How that none from the inn
pleaded States are commended for seats
in the Cabinet of the PRESIDENT Shall
we say2 II is, We fear, because the Re
publican party of those States have not
deemed ability and character Of sufficient
importance, and have bestowed their COM
missions upon men wanting in the
courage of combat and respect for the
laws Of State. It has been too much the
custom to rely on the Republicans Of the
North and West to carry the Republican
cause in the South. The events Of the
past eight months have proved that
neither the force of arms nor the weight
Of counsel can be expected in future. The
Republican party must raise its standard
Of appointment. It must organize eff
GENTLY with view to commend itself to
the whole people at home and abroad. Tt
is not question now who can procure an
appointment BY purchase or strategy, but
what men viii best recommend Repub-
licanism to the adoption Of the people.
For some months past We have seen the
Republican administration besieged in
the State House. and only saved from the
bulldozers BY the Federal troops.

MANUFACTURES OF SILK AND COTTON.
The National Silk Association furnishes
returns Of the weight and value of raw
silk imported into the United States
during the past nine years. These weights
have risen from six hundred thousand
pounds in 1868, to 1880. 482 pounds in
1875. and from s62s, l3l, to i've, six
and seven millions of dollars during the
latter years of this term. It is wholly un-
necessary to address an argumentin favor
Of system which has made America SO
independent Of manufactured necessaries
as that we are actually exporting arms and
cotton cloth to Europe. In looking to
this admission of raw silk duty free, with
the imposition Of sixty per cent on the
manufactured article, it Is well to remark
that from this special protection has grown
up domestic industry Of immense and
increasing Importance. The REPUBLICAN,
has heretofore endeavored TO convince our
own people that this industry may be BET
ter domestieated here than anywhere else
IN the Union.
In regard to the manufacture Of cotton
there has been every proof, both in prin-
ciple and in practice, that New Orleans
furnishes in many respects the best looa-
ton in America Why? Because this
Is the only market where the stock Is SO
large and so constant that the manufac-
tursr need not burden himself with inter-
est storage or insurance nor eonplicate
the profits Of bis labor with tbs rise and
fall Of prices VITA the mildness Of the
climate there being. It is true, some
drawback foE occasional humidity the
economy Of vegetable food and fuel, and
ihe moderate Eale Of renla, operative
labor may bs'afgorded cheaper here than
elsewhere. The reduction Of orr CONNER

Improper Literature.


A good joke is reported as having
been perpetrated upon vender Of OBJ
scene literature and bawdy pictures
by himssls. unwittingly, in the office of
Mr. Comstock, the President of the
saciety for the suppression Of obscene
publications. The low minded rascal,
not recognizing Mr.. G. carefully dis
played large quantity of such mat
ter fer Mr. C's inspection, remarking;
They are nice, just what you will
like. How many will you take?"
To his surprise Mr.. G. took them all,
to the infinite delight of the fiend.
A subsequent introduction to police
officer, however, and no money coming
in, turnad the smile Of joy upon his
beastly features into a sepulcharal
gloom. Too late he ascertained that
he had walked into net Of his own
preparing from which he could not
eztricats himself
This little incident reminds US. that
ne owe duty to society in discourag~
ing to the utmost the importation of
improper literature and pictures into
our society. We are thousand miles
away from the great metropolis, but
We are not many miles away from
Chicago and Milwaukee. where such
publications are as easily obtained as
in the larger city mentioned.
That such literature is being sent
out into the villages and hamlets al
over the west We know TO be a fact
and that very many are secretly circu
ated and watch!ully guarded even II
our city, we are confident
1t is humiIiating thought that the
young girls and boys, as we'll as those
who have arrived at mature years, car
be so far lost,--so shamefully degraded
as to find a morbid pleasure in tn,
perusal of the worst possible publica
tons, replete with pictures which
ought to bring blush to he face of
harlot.
We will aot sag that such publica
tions find consumption in our city
bat we are constrained to believe thai
such is the fact. From what we have
heard, innundoes, double entendres
ioords i0hich hare a significance among
the members of certain circles convince
us that the scourge is upon US, and
that many who are known as respect
