New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1878-10-19

Enough has been written to show
that the Brazilian subsidy bill was
not passed, with solid Democratic
majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives.
2. That the subsidy was passed by
a Republican Senate-that a MAORI
ty of the Democratic Senators voted
against it, and that but for the vote
of Republican Senators the subsidy
would not have reached the House,
where it was defeated as any other
subsidy must have been under the
resolution quoted.
When we have added that Sena-
tors, Thurman, Bayard, Salisbury
and Beck all voted and spoke against
our subvention, while Senators Win
dom, Ferry, Blaine and Conkling all
spoke for and supported it, we have
done enough to satisfy any citizen
who thinks New Orleans ought to
have steam line on government aid
to Brazil to look into the record. 1t
will then be seen that under Demo-
cratic rule it will be morally impos-
sible for our city to receive q dollar
for that or for other far more impor-
tant objects.

NEW ORLEANS GIVEN AWAY.

Slang phrases, though not admitted
into genteel company, are always
expressive. One who, from motives
of vengeance or unwise attachment
confides his secrets or his valuables
to faithless agent, is said to have
"given himself away" While the
treacherous depository who perverts
his trust is said to have "thrown off"
on his principal.
The city of New Orleans has "giv-
en- herself away' to the. Bourbon
Democracy and the latter have OBJ
viously "thrown off" on the city.
We propose to make the sagacity of
these slang phrases obvious in their
application to the betrayal of New
Orleans by her trusted Democratic
representatives.
We assume that New Orleans is in
favor of protection on American in
dustry, internal improvements by
the Federal government within the
State, and the development of our
intern al and foreign commerce. We
assume this because her representa-
tives in Congress, albeit Democrats
by classification, have introduced
and steadily voted for measures of
this nature. The planters of Lou
isiana are solid for building the
levees and the Pacific Railroad, as
also the removal of all distinctions
to the navigation of Red and Sabine
rivers.
| The Democratic vote of Louisiana
was cast in 1876 for Mr.. Tilden,
Democrat pledged on principle
against any such application of ma
tional means to local improvements.
AS a representative Of New Orleans,
who has already received at the
hands of the Federal government a
complete and equipped railroad to
the Pacific, and who possesses the
means to construct any tributary
roads, Mr.. Tilden could not have
been expected to encourage, the con-
struction of a rival work, nor to
favor the improved navigation of the
Mississippi as a means of enabling
the West to escape its dependence
on the Eastern cities. Yet New Or
leans east her vote for this repre-
sentative of Eastern hostility against
Mr.. Hayes, a representative Of the
unity Of interests between the valley
of the Mississippi and the great city
which commands its commerce.
1t is, however. with the three
measures to which reference has
been made that we propose to deal,
and TO show by the record that tile
Democratic party in Congress has,
with majority in the House Of Rep
resentatiyes, failed to pass single
one of those bills in which this city
is deeply, perhaps vitality interested

Though Governor Nichols main
tains his position of taciturnity about
the Natchitoches riot, he seems to
have been smoked out of his hole by
the Tensas affair. Some allowance
ought to be made, we suppose, for
the fact that the estate troops
we're involved in the latter case,
while the Natchitoches riot was only
an outrage committed by private
parties and parish officials.

it was only bilious attack-a mere

demand fFom every part Of The Union
for increased facilities Of foreign
trade. This resulted in e bill intro-
duced in tbs House Of Representa-
tives by Hon. Mr.. Gibson, . Demo-
cratic member from New Orleans.
This bill proposed subvention to
establish . line of postal steamers
from New Orleans and another from
New York to Rio Janeiro, in Brazil.
The passage of this bill was rendered
impossible by the adoption of the
following: 3. .-.. '-
Resolved, That in the Judgment Of the
House no Subsidies ia money, bonds,
public lands, Endorsements, or by pledge
Of the public credit should be granted or
renewed by Congress to associations or
corporations engaged in or proposing to
engage in public or private enterprises,
but that all appropriations ought to be
limited to such amounts and purposes
only as shall be imperatively demanded
by the public service of the government
This resolution, adapted by de-
oisive vote, proved that the Demo
cratic majority was determined to
appropriate no money for subsidies.
y We have taken some pains to
analyze the Southern vote on the
question, and if we have made no
mistake it stood thus:
a.. M
Against the resolution. ............ 80
Absent. .............. IL
From this it will appear the solid
Democratic South stands committed
by adecided majority against voting
any public money for postal mail
service by ocean steamer.
r. So well satisfied of this fact were
the Democratic members from Lou
isiana-who, with the exception
of one member absent on this
vote-were solid in favor of subven-
ton that the House bill was at
late day of the session moved as
an amendment on the postofice and
post route bill then pending in the
Senate. This amendment was car
ried, and the bill passed and sent to
the House. After conference between
the two houses the House of Repre-.
sentatives succeeded in striking out
the Brazilian subsidy. To establish
our proposition we give summary
of the vote in the Senate lby which
the subsidy was put in the postofice
bill;

Death Of General Fitz Henry Warren.


General Fitz Henry Warren died at
Brimfield, Mass, his native place, yes
terday morning, at the age Of 81 years.
In early life, without having had more
than academic educational advantages.
he engaged in business in New York,
Petersburg, Va, and Chicopee, Mass,
and finally emigrated to Burlington.
Iowa, in 1874. He soon became inter.
ested in journalism and politics. His
newspaper work was done on the Bur-
lington HaWkeye, of which he was for q
time the editor; on the New York
Tribune, at the head of whose Washing
ton staff he was in 1861, and also on
the New York Sun. 1t was while writ
ing for the Tribune that he originated
the famous phrase, !" On to Richmond"
which will be remembered as long as
the history of the rebellion shall be
read. In politics he was at first q
whig, and as such was chairman for a
time of the Iowa state whig committee.
In 1S49 President Taylor appointed him
second assistant postmaster general,
afterwards serving as first assistant.
During the general Scott campaign he
was chairman of the national whig
committee. When the republican
party was formed General Warren en-
listed in its service. He was talked of for
postmaster general after Lincoln's cleo
ton, was a member of the Iowa state
senate in 1865, and Minister to Guate-
mala in 1867 and 1868. He joined the
Greeley movement, and headed the
Iowa electoral ticket. He never be-
came reconciled to the republican
party. He went to the war in COM
mand of the First Iowa Cavalry, and
served mostly in Louisiana and Texas.
He was promoted to be Brigadier
General in 1862, and was afterward
made Major General by brevet.

PhotOErsphing = Heart Beat.

One of the most remarkable applica.
tiOns of photogra ply is that by which
it is now made to register. and in the
most accurate manner, the mechanical
motion of the heart. The device by
which this result is attained is indeed a
triumph Of inventive skill. 1t consists
Of a thin india-rubber bag, to which
short glass tube is attached; sufficient
mercury is poured into the apparatus
to fill the bag and a portion of the tube,
and the instrument is then placed over
the heart Of the person to be examined.
Arranged in this manner, every pulsa-
ton Of the heart is indicated by corre-
spending movement Of the mercury in
the tube, and, by suitable Photographic
apparatus, provided with n moving
sensitive slip of paper, a perfect registra-
ton of the extent and rate of the pulsa-
ton is obtained. The interesting fact
is made known by this process that the
fall of the pulse sometimes takes pla ce
in successive horizontal lines, the column
reascending two or three times before
failing altogether.

The Turks are to have the right to for

Where the Paths Met.
Northwestern Christian Advocate

NOfJ0WeSteru CuTISCl6u AUvOC6tc
The recent southern general confer
ence received two traternal delegates
from the African Methodist Episcopal
church, who, in our hearing, made q
remarkable speech, each. The second
speaker. Johnson, uttered one of the
most beautiful extempore passages we
have ever heard.
Said he, in effect: Brethren there
happened in that ante-room just now a
circumstance shall never forget. You
remember that David in the cave of
Adullam sighed for water from the well
of Bethlehem, and that three young
men, at the peril of their lives, brought
the longed-for water, which David
would not, after all, drink, since it had
been procured at the peril of life. He
therefore poured out the water as liba-
ton before the Lord" Said the speak
err: "When entered this room l was
fevered, and, like David, longed for
water. A gentleman took goblet to
serve me; during his absence l learned
that he was the governor of Georgia.
Realizing the chasm between us, l
thought of David, and taking the goblet
from his hand l begged that might
pour out the water as y libation forever
between his race and mine."
We never saw house more stricken,
thrilled ana melted by speech from
any human orator.

England's Soldiers.

An English officer who served with a
Sikh regiment during the East India
mutiny writes to the London Daily
NeUs: "During the campaign Of 1916
in India, and again in 1S47-48, and dur
ing the mutiny, no prisoners were made.
i was much Disguised on one occasion,
in 1857, to find that while marching up
by.street in Delhi. two days after the
assault, some Sikhs of my regiment had
broken open a door, and before l could
interfere, mcrcilessly slaughtered in
cold blood two old men and three wo-
men and a child. I was attracted by
their screams, and rushed in too late to
save life. These were newly raised
levies, it is true, but imagine that no
Sikhs or Ghoorkas can be trusted on
these occasions, and the same may be
said Of all native troops. They make
no prisoners; at least never saw one
during four campaigns in India.
