SOME musician, who is also a poet,
has committed to rhyme his disgust of
"My Grandfather's Clock" in the fol-
lowing lines:
"My Grandfather's Clock" as it was all
very well,
When the song was first coming about,
But twas whistled and sung, till Its num-
bers now swell
Upon ears that are all tired out
1t is whistled and hummed out of tune
out of time,
With an infinite feeling of pride,
Till we all of us wish that the song had
stopped short
When the old man died.

THE Coal MINERs.-Work was re-
sumed at many of the coal pits along
the Monongahela Monday and during
the week many other pits will resume,
the demands of the miners having
been acceded to. Many of the mi
ners have not worked more than nine
weeks, all told, since January l, and
their families were in sorry plight.
This is the first strike in which they
have gained their point for long
time. The farmers, who complained
OF losses from theft, as we'll as the
miners themselves, rejoice that the
men have won.-Pittsburg (Pa) Post.

SILVER DoLLARs.-Some confusion
existing in the minds of many people
in regard to the proper value of the
silver dollars, the following statement
is made for their information The
new dollar contains 4l23 grains of
silver; its commercial and legal value
is 100 cents-par. A trade dollar
contains 420 grains of silver; no legal
value; it's commercial value is 973a98
cents, notwithstanding it has u
grains more in it than the legal dol
lar. The Mexican and Spanish dol
lars are only held at their bullion val
ue, i. e., as old silver and are worth
83 cents. They have also no legal
value.

THE NAToHITOoHBs RIOT.
The Shreveport Times of the TWEEN
ty-fifth ultimo saws:

The Shreveport Times of the TWEEN
ty-fifth ultimo says:
Every law-abiding citizen, white and
black, was glad to learn that the political
disturbances in Natchitoches have been
settled without serious consequences.
Only three negroes were wounded and no
whites hurt, although the negroes fred
first upon the guard, but were dispersed.
A dispatch states that the leaders of the
negro riot were ordered off and that they
had left. We know that they were the
very worst men in the parish, who had
committed wholesale robbery when in
power and were fire-brands in the commu-
nifty. 1t may appear to those at distance
from the scene of disturbance, and who
do not understand the characters of these
leaders, or the temper and animus of an
excited negro population, that this was a
very high-handed measure. Those who
are familiar with such matters will COM
mend the good people of Natchitoches for
their forbearance in having permitted
these men to live in the parish for so many
years.
We Opine that if there be such a
thing as a law abiding white citi-
zen in the vicinity of Natchitoches
who dares to express his sentiments,
hs will confess to feeling of hui
initiation rather than gladness at
the illegal conduct of those who
have been egged on to commit this
outrage against the laws, No one
believes that the negroes fred first,
nor do we believe they fred at all.
This crusade has been carefully and
artfully preached up for several
weeks before it occurred by the vim
dictive Democratic papers of the
neighborhood. BlOunt has been
theatened with violence in every
issue and admonished that he would
not be permitted to organize the Re-
publican party or any other, in op.
position 10 the bulldozers. The
charge, so flippantly made, that Re-
publican leaders were the worst
men in the parish, who had commit
ted wholesale robbery" ia not sus-
tanned by any proof, and those who
mako it have not of late thought il
worth while to specify the particular

into the postofice bill against the wishes
of the Postmaster General, and against
all the best interests Of the people Of the
country. ..s-.
He proceeds subsequently to argue
against the grant Of subvention ON
on the ground that the T reasury can
not meet such obligations without
an increase of taxation. He says:
l have often wondered when I have
heard gentlemen of intelligence, of integ-
rity, and in other matters careful states
men, urge subsidy after subsidy, and
appropriation after appropriation in the
name of the honor of the country topper
tect the flag and other specious pretexts
for giving away money for everything and
everywhere--it has often troubled me to
know where the money is to come from.
After reminding the representa-
tives of the tobacco interest that
these subvensiOns and appropria-
tons may be made good by increased
tax on that overburdened staple, the
honorable successor of Henry Clay
OOuulNOs W SCO IL q DNOW az PAOOOS-
ton by motion to amend the bill
by striking out the words american
built and owned" vessels, and insert
ing the words, "Owned exclusively
by citizens of the United States.'
The effect of this, the reader will
perceive, would have been to repeal
the protection upon American ship
ping and make free trade in import
ed ships. Verify, ''the scorners sit
in Moses seat"
We shall, subsequently, pursue the
subject by giving other examples in
which the solid South is represented
in Congress by majority of Demo-
cratic members hostile in principle to
the appropriation of national money
in aid of Southern works of improve
ment, aud especially combined
against the doctrine of protection Of
American industry by national legis-
lation.

WHAT ouR POLITICS uosE.

1t would be impossible to estimate
the cost to New Orleans of a sectional
contest continued since the war under
various delusive ideas. Among these
items, however, may be placed the
fact that the school of politicians who
have always denied the power of
Congress to protect our industries or
favor our commerce have resumed
without impediment, the control of
Southern speculations on those sub
jects. New Orleans was once, be-
yond question, "a city claiming that
Congress should protect manufac-
turers and the mechanic against the
minor effects of foreign competition,
and the planter and laborer of Lou
isiana against the slave coolie grown
sugars of the tropics. We believe
New Orleans is still in favor of this
policy, but that this political strife
which has absorbed every other CON
sideration, has committed him to the
care of politicians who are in prin-
ciple inimical to all the interests
which her commercial existence de-
ponds. We propose to give some ex-
amples of the manner in which the
political power Of the city has been
perverted to the fatal opposition Of
her interests.
New Orleans demands three prin-
cipal public works; The Pacific
railroad, the national protective
levees. the aubvertoina for lines Of
postal and commercial steamers to
tropical ports. We propose to show
that the application for Federal aid
to those works has been defeated in
Q House Of Representatives. having Q
Democratic majority, and that prem
inent Democratic Senators haze ops
posed the one OF other oof these
works on the grOpnd that there was
! No WarTsnt in the Federal COnstitu-

it may be responded to as General
JEFF Thompson did to a proclamation
of General Butler, by Offering a
much larger sum for the apprehen-
sion of Governor Nichols. The po-
sition of Governor Nichols is too
high for any such by-play. His po-
sition is not only one in which his
personal and official reputation is
involved, but it has become national.
The right of the people peaceably to
assemble in some parishes, and or
ganize the expression of their pOlit-
ical opinions, has been rendered i'm
possible of execution in the interior
of the State, 1t involves the Repub-
lican representatives in Congress and
in the electoral college, for if one Re-
publican Ecitizen can be driven into
exile because of his alleged political
influence, the same violence may be
apprehended wherever it may be
necessary to defeat or disperse the
Republicans. The responsibility o.
compliance with the solemn pledges
of his compact can not be evaded,
and the people must know from his
excellency the Governor before
taking single step farther whether
the compact between the Federal
and State governments will be kept.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1878-10-05

war would have been buried with
the capitulation and the amnesty.
On the other hand the republic of the
United States punished no one for
treason. 1t enacted a partial, and
then general act of amnesty. 1t
has restored all the political rights
and full representation of the South
ern States and people. This general
amnesty has been, it is now, quail
fed by some exceptions, chiefly of
officers who quit the United States
military or naval service for that of
the COnfederacy, but the effect of the
political equality enacted by the
Federal government has been to raise
the vote of the Southern States some
ten OF twelve, while the whole basis
of representation in right of the
emancipated amounts to more than
third of the Federal and represent
alive power of the solid South.
1t is unnecessary to add the values
granted to the South since the war.
A vote of $9,OOO,OOO for an outlet
canal at the mouth of the Mississippi,
superseded by a contract of several
millions to Mr.. Eads for an open
river mouth by way of the jetties,
with appropriations to Red River,
the harbor of New Orleans, etc.
We have kept no account of the
acts of individual and local relief to
Southern applicants, nor of the ma
tional ratiOns issued to Louisiana
during the destructive foundations
which have overspread the crops.
We do not advert to the fact that the
government of the United States is
without authority of law taking the
responsibility of sending to our suf-
fering and destitute people abundant
rations of food. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to say that the majority of the
very people of the North and West
who now contribute so nobly to our
relief, constituted the power that
inflicted all the alleged wrongs COM
planned of. Yes. 1t is this very
people. So magnanimous, SO gem
erous, that is responsible for ''the
vindictive, cruel policy of the United
States" which we are told scan not
be but universally condemned" We
dismiss this comparison by remark
ing the covert satire or incautiOus
admission of single phrase:
The Cubans enjoy now in Cuba, Span
ish province, complete freedom of the
press and of the right Of assembling and
expressing their opinions"
How far these rights may have been
enjoyed in certain Southern States
of the Union, and how far they may
be ass erted in future is a subject
upon which we may not at present
refer. An early future may ueVeloI
proper comment.
We must confess we do not ad.
mire these indications of hostility tC
a representative form of government
and a preference for those under
command of a king and a State re-
ligion. This crops out in unexpected
places, and is so impotent in com
-parison with the universal prefer
ences of Americans born as not t.
deserve notice. When, however
this preference for European institu
tions leads to injustice to our owl
government, and tends to reawakeI
the hostilities of sections, we deem
it duty to express our condemna
ton of such sentiments, come from

zion to justify an appropriation in
their aid.
1.-The Brazilian Subsidy.
Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, of Della
ware, has always been relied on as a
Southern Democrat. He is a pillar
of that party at present, and is open
ly spoken Of as its candidate for the
next Presidency. The Picayune
newspaper, in disclaiming any pur-
pose on the part of the Southern
Democrats" of urging his name upon
the convention, pays Mr.. Bayard a
deserved compliment upon his per-
sonal character, bat gives no intima-
ton of the fatal blow which Mr..
Bayard in the executive chair would
infiict upon the commerce and indus
tries of New Orleans. We propose
to call the attention of our readers
to the opposition of Senator Bayard
to this political subvention for our
Brazil line. In the debate of fifth
June, 1873, he is reported as saying
"The whole doctrine of these subsi-
dies is unjust and delusive. No wise
and cOnsiderate legislator but win
appreciate the great danger of grant
ing government aid in local enter
prises;" and ''that one great element
of public safety is the restriction of
the functions of Federal power to
the minimum consistent with the
success of essential powers" 1t is
now asked: "What is this princi-
pie of subsidies 2" It is the assist
ance from the Treasury to private
enterprise" The Senator argues him
self into the conviction that to take
this money of all, for the advantage
of particular enterprise is in effect
Communism. "Mr. President" ex-
claims Senator Bayard, "Commun-
ism is to me abhorrent. But / think
it will be found very difficult for
gentlemen to assume the principle
and to discriminate between the
grant of public moneys for class and
industrial use in one case as in the
other. The true answer is that it
must be only for public services and
that at the lowest price which
sound economy and honesty would
induce us to contract for that we can
justify public expenditure"
1t thus appears that this eminent
Southern Democrat, favorably spOk-
en- of as a Southern Democratic cam
didate for the Presidency denies and
denounces the principle of an ap-
preparation in aid of Southern
steam line as corrupt and unconsti-
tutional, and even stigmatizes the
people of New Orleans and others as
communists for asking it

They deny the power of government
to do that which is indispensable tc
restore the waning prosperity of OuI
city. We may have solid South
but it means sealed treasury, and
among the costs of an embittered
sectional policy may be estimated
the total exclusion of New Orleans
and Louisiana from all participation
in Federal appropriations for inter
nal improvements or foreign com
