A physician replied to lady querist

known q twelye-stone man to go down

passion, so that pretty nearlya quarter
of him may be said to have persisted.

The PicdVune says ''the REPUBLIcAN has
learned to say Governor Nichols" " This
is true. The REPUBLICAN often resists but
always accepts the inevitable. 1t would
even, if possible, improve the inevitable.
In this lesson of pronunciation we must
acknowledge the valuable example of our
neighbor. By happy system of syneope
and elision it succeeded in converting the
disparaging epithet of "Spoon Butler"
into the euphonious title of "Msjor
General Benjamin. F. Butler, commander,
ETC., Of the military district Of New Or
loans"
At later period the ter ''usurper
and "fraud," as applied to the Repub-
lican candidate for the presidency, were
honorubly substituted by the cordial d.
mission that "never before in the history
of the country was the Union SO nearly a
unit in sentiment and conviction, never
before did the unanimity of the people
afford any President" etc.
With these happy examples of flexi-
bility the REPUBLICAN must have been a
d ull scholar if it he'd not learned to pro-
nounce the words quoted, even without
the sufix of de fdcto.

Orleans and other Western cities that the
ministers and consuls to be appointed to
the Spanish American States shall be men
familiar with the commercial interest of
the West These positions are too i'm
portant to be awarded as pay 'for par
tisan services, nor should any principal
mission or subordinate service be en-
trusted to any.except men who can bring
home valuable advantages for the South
and West, because, we repeat, these are
sections entitled to commercial considera-
ton. Our relations with Mexico and the
Central American republics are especially
important. The minister to Spain might
obtain some abatement of the excessive
tax on American productions imported
into Cuba. The President may, by
judicious diplomatic policy open new
markets for the surplus manufactures and
breadstuffs which now glut the barns and
shops of Illinois and Ohio. This done,
he will find for himself and his party a
support among the people that impossible
Influence of rewarded stump orators or
intriguing politicians can possibly give

this they did well. Such q sacrifice Of
principle 70 etiquette would have forever
destroyed their influence in the great
cause which they seem to have at heart,
would have stamped them as common
place, time-serving, almost hunkeyish.
Never more could either have raised
word against the use of intoxicating
drinks, without having this answer flung
scornfully back: "Oh, yes; total alb
stinence for the world at large; but mine
at state dinners; we also will drink wine
when we want it, and consider our meals
state dinners"
AS for its being "uncivil" to refuse the
mockery of making believe to partake Of
what they would not touch to their lips
for anything, we do not regard it in that
light. Their guests were not obliged to
abstain because they did. Of course
when the host and hostess drank no wine,
the guests could not sit and guzzle it for
hours after the meal has finished, but
but they could partake of it during the
repast Believing as they did that
'Tis widom' sself that fills the cup
In spite of follys frOwn,
And nature from her vine-c,ad hills
That pours her life blood down."
the guests should have done as usual,
and taken no notice of the abstinence Of
their hosts. In our opinion, then, the
conduct of the President and his wife on
this occasion deserves commentator, not
censure. They have set to the youth of
the country an example of devotion to
principle of more worth than the approval
of an army of ambassadors If such ex-
ample should have the effect of making
temperance fashionable, they will have ac-
complished a greater work for the good of
the republic than could arise to it from
the good will toward them personally of
every court in Europe.

CURRENTS -

On last Thursday evening large and
appreciative audience assembled at the
Church of the Messiah, corner of st.
Charles and Julia streets, to hear the
Rev. ]. Hazard HartEell lecture on the
comprehensive subject of "Currents of
Thought in Literature and Philosophy.
It was q brilliant and elaborate effort,
abounding in opportunities for oratorical
display, all of which were seized and
used with marked effect by the distin-
guished lecturer. Introducing his sub
ject by philosophical description of the
phenomena of currents of air, he pro-
ceeded to elucidate the corresponding
origin of currents of thought, illustrating
the active agency of heat in the produc-
tion thereof by multiplicity of brilliant
instances, and illuminating the subject
by groups Of the brightest names in his
tory and philosophy. The discourse oc-
cupied about an hour, and held the atten-
ton of the listeners enchained from first
to last.
This was the last of series of able, in
structive and entertaining lectures, deliv-
cred from time to time by this talented
and eloquent speaker at the same place,
and the public of New Orleans have to
thank Mr.. Hartzell for thus popularizing
a species of entertainment which has been
too rare among US.

We have regarded it as a misfortune to
New Orleans that the President does not
seem to have been impressed with the
importance of direct and enlarg trade
between the West and the tropics. The
immense surplus productions Of the States
and cities Of that section demand a re-
vision Of our commercial treaties with
foreign countries and the adoption Of such
tariff relations as will promote the recip.
rocal demands for the productions Of the
contracting powers. We may add that
the policy of extending the influence of
republican principles into the countries
adjacent to our own, and Of gaining grad.
uaIly for the United States the position Of
at least commercial proteCtorate, with
access TO the passage between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, is eminsptly South
ern and Western question. The United
States needs It's India and its Suez.
Under these views we have deemed the
nomination Of Secretary and Assistant
Secretary Of Stats nom the East, and
both from The same State, as an inadvert-
ence- Il should mot be forgotten that

parament alternately for the past twenty

TIE PEST OF THE BULLpozERs,

Turkey now finds that her Bazeuck
bulldozers may cause her the loss of her
auton omy by exciting the horror of the
world against the deeds of these savages.
Louisiana and Mississippi will find that
the lawless men who have been permitted
for some years past to assassinate Repub
licans and drive peaceful people out of
the country are bad stock. Each of these
States needs immigration. They have
powerful rivals in Arkansas, Texas and
the upper West, who bank on the lawless
deeds of the bulldozers to turn women
and children from our fertile fields. Their
misrepresentation of our public and pri-
vate affairs has been so successful that
white immigration into the bulldozer
States has been almost entirely arrested,
while the whole current of numbers and
wealth has been poured into States far
less attractive than our own.
The Democracy has accepted the aid of
the bulldozers for the purpose of in
timidating the colored voters and picking
off by assassination the white Republican
leaders. 1t has been done just as jackson
accepted the aid of the pirate Laftte; but
with the subjugation of the Republicans
It is found that the bulldozers retain their
arms and pursue the same course of as
sassination as before the election. Arrest
and imprisonment furnishes no protec-
.tion; jails are broken open and prisoners
hanged as formerly. Feuds of families
complicated with political animosities are
fought out with a list of killed and
wounded worthy battle field. Wo-
men and boys are involved in the
deadly melee, and the shame of this bar
barism goes throughout the land The
Democratic party has pledged itself for
the restoration of peace. The nation
looks on to see if it can keep its pledges.
just as Turkey was required by Christian
sympathy to punish and repress the Ba-
zouks, the Democratic Governor will be
held to control the bulldozer. Just as
Turkey has been held to answer for her
failure to punish and protect, so will De-
mocracy be required to arrest the blood
and violence of the lawless class which
has mustered under its banner. 1t has
been traditional shame that the British
accepted the surrender of Americans
with pledge of protection and yet al
lowed her Indian allies to massacre the
unarmed prisoners. The nation will de-
mand of the Democracy the restraint of
the bulldozers, or it will proceed to de-
nounce their inability to redeem the
pledge.
We believe the Governors of Louisiana,
Mississippi and South Carolina sincere in
their wish to disarm and restrain the bull
dozers, but there is great difficulty in at
tanning the object. They can rest assured
Of Republican aid in exterminating this
pest ofthe bulldozer, nor should we be sur
prised if the Federal government should
be called on by the Democratic Governors
to enforce the civil rights and social pro-
lection law, as q means of maintaining
order and reopening the Southern States
to immigration and progress.
