ships. His heart warmed in sympathy
for the troubles of others, and his gen.
er0sity was only limited by his means.
He united the bravery of this lion with
the gentleness of woman. No one
could know him and not love him. In
whatever place he had been located, he
has contracted the most enduring
friendships. He never evaded a per-
sonal or public responsibility, or turned
his back on principle or friend. A
purer man in principal and thought or
in action never lived. He would not
have accepted the highest station in the
world at the cost of his consistency;
the wealth of the Indies could not have
corrupted him; nor the wheel and rack
move him to the betrayal of a cause he
had once espoused. His friendship
was of the purest kind--not rashly
formed, but permanent and enduring;
and no consideration could induce him
to sacrafice friend. General Ander-
son was incapable of deceiving by false
or hypocritical professions; and by
keeping his faith with all, he gave a
beautiful exempliication of life de-
voted to fidelity, justice and truth,
which left among the living not single
resentment or unkind feeling to be bur-
led in the grave.

We wish our Democratic readers
to understand that VIC do not abat'
one particle from our expressed an
tagonism TO Horace Greeley. W.
rcassert every charge that wo have
made against him heretofore. W.
do not yet believe that he can bca'
Grant, and will not believe it unit
We SEQ unmistakablc signs of {
greater strength with his former
adhorcnts than he has developed
since his nomination. We honest
ly believe that his election will be
the death of the democratic party
of the Union and the States.


With the death Of this party and
tho consequent trampling under
footW its great principles, we see
no hope in the future for Republi-
can government in America, with.
out another bloody revolution. Be-
lieving this, if we lived in u North
ern State, whose homo government
was deccntly administered, with no
choice but Grant or Greeley, we
should not vote at all. Then why
do we vote for him you say. Be-
cause the salvation of ourState, the
liberty of our people, the prospcri-
ty, the safety of our friends and our
families. all depend upon tho carly
defeat of radicalism in Texas.


We must all work together to
beat Davis and his unprinciplcd
minions. We must suffer nothing
to come between us. The election
or defeat of Greeley or of Grant is
nothing with us compared to the
defeat of b. j. Davis and the elec-
ton of an honest, intelligent Ligis-
laturc in the place of the corrupt
and ignorant things, who have done
all in their power to ruin the State
In this state of affairs, the existence
of u third party, which might grow
out of our differences would be ruin.
To prevent this and to keep our
true people together, We are willing
to see Greeley, Grant, or the Devil,
President of the United States.


We are prepared to sacrifice par
ty, and to lay all our hopes for the
future Of the Republic upon COM
mon altar. We did not watch by
the cradle of Democracy ; we can
follow its hearse we can stand by
its yawning grave and sec it laid

Especial Correspondence of the Republican,


BARNES HOTEL, MISSISSIPPI CITY,


May 29 1872.
don't know why it is that linger here,
among the sylvan shades and the rustic
bowers of the Gulf coast, while the city air
is agitated with the impeding conflict of
rival parties and hostile factions, unless it
is that sylvan shades and rustic bowers are
more inviting and alluring than oOnven-
tiOns and mass meetings, with the ther-
mometer at ninety degrees.


Or it may be that our hosts of the Barnes
Hotel are so genial and fascinating that 1
can not make up mind to leave them while
a croaker swims at the end of the long
wharf, or an oyster lies perdG in the waters
of Mississippi sound. Not that l have de-
iberate intention to gObble up all the croak-
ers and oysters in the Mexican Gulf, but
that find them so good that can't help
initiating our poor little friend Oliver by
crying aloud for more.


And SO would you, unhappy beings that
you are, if you would only throw down
your weary pens for day or two and come
over to Mississippi City. 1t viii take you
only three hours and half this evening,
and you can be back and at wOlk by ten
o'clock Monday morning; SO just try it to-
day and you shall enjoy such Sunday as
not all the year in the city could furnish.
You viii not arrive, as in former years,
at midnight, and be landed at the end of
long wharf, whence you had to journey for
mile through the blackness of dreary
night, but you will be brought within
hundred yards of the hotel door in a first
class car; you will be welcomed by
Colonel Nixon or Major Hurd as they know
how to welcome their friends and their
guests, and within half an hour you will be
summoned to a supper table bouptifully
provided with those marine delicacIes and
Injuries which are so dear to the city pal
ate. After supper you may, if you like,
join party of your friends who are having
social game in No. l9, or you may play
game of billiards, or you may take a salt
water bath; or if you have a sweetheart
over here, which hope you have, you will
prefer to wander with her through the
spacious grounds and look up at the star
lit skies, and gaze out upon the broad and
quiet sea aud listen to the winds whisper
ing gently to the solemn pines, and then
you will take a seat beneath a spreading
oak, where the cool breeze will blow upon
your literary brow, and the melodious mos
quito will not mOlest you.


For these and other luxuries of the
season, Mississippi City can not be excelIed,
and look for it to become one Of the most
popular places of summer resort in the
neighborhood of the city. 1t has all the
advantages and attractions that can be de-
sired, not only for the transient pleasure
seeker, but for families who wish to pass
the summer in a cool, healthy place, where
they can have regular, easy and speedy
communication with the city and the com
forts of a home. D.

There are two radically different modes
of pursuing the study of shorthand, either
at the option of the learner. One plan is to
commence by learning to read it only, so as
to be able to decipher the outlines with con
siderable facility before any attempt is
made to write at all. The other is to learn
to read and write at the same time. With a
few lessons an intelligent person can pursue
the stndy, with the aid of a perfect system.
The method of learning to read phon-
ography has peculiar advantages for law
yers, as, after they have learned to read.
they can employ photographers to take
notes. which they can use Immediately, it
not being necessary, of course, for their own
use to wait for it, or to be at the expense of
transcribing. For instructions, apply at the

One of the most delightful ways of pass
ing the Sunday is to take the 7:30 o'clock
morning Pontchartrain railroad train,
which connects with the steamer Camelia
and go over to Vaudeville, Madisonville or
COvington. The excursion only costs a
dollar, and we doubt if so much pleasure
could be obtained at so moderate an ex-
pense any other way. 1t is besides most
healthful variation from the heat and dust
of the city, and should be INDUCED in on
that account, if for no other, by persons

Our readers will notice with unallOyed
pleasure the announcement that on and
after to-day at four o'clock, excursion
tickets, good for three days from the date
of sale, and trip tickets good for families
and firms for the summer season, will be
put on sale at a reduction Of fifty per cent
from regular tariff rates, equivalent to two
and half cents mile, for all the water
ing places. This is a generous reduction Of
fare, and we are glad to announce it. We
hope an arrangement will also be made to
dispose of excursion tickets for New Orleans
at the watering places.

DEFFATED.-We fear there is but little
hope of the reelection of Hon. ]. N. Cogh-
Ian as member Of Congress from this Dis
trict. We regret this, and we do most sin
cerely believe that those Republicans who
have contributed to his defeat will, within
the next two years, think as we do. Mr..
Coghlan's successful opponent may be per.
fectly sincere in the stand he has taken on
the subsidy question at this present time,
but if we are to judge Of his future by his
past, it will be about time for him to ssdop"
back to subsidy again about the time he
takes his seat The defeat of Mr.. Cogh-
ian can be ascribed to only one thing-his
support of the Goat Island Bill. This
measure the Sacramento Union, which has
large circulation in the District, falsely
denounced as a subsidy scheme. The fact
that the Cn,on gave Qaasi support to
Grant, gave its utteranees an effect which
it could not have had against Democratic
candidate Its power for mischief was
great, while its power for good would have
been weak in comparison. The Union
has proven traitor in Republican councils,
using its power from malicious motives and
making the success of Republican princi-
Piles and nominees a secondary object to the

qualification of its own feelings of petty
revenge. 1t is unworthy of place in Re-
publican households. We quarrel with no
Republican for his vote on Congressman,
for we believe every man who voted for the
Democratic nominee, did so from the best
of motives. Further, we hope that Mr.
Luttrell may, as representative be all
which they expect. But we say as we said
before, that his election is triumph of
demagoguery, and henceforth a candidate
for popular favor must swim with the popu-
lar current whether it sets in the right or In
the wrong direction.

HIGH ETIQUETTE AT CoURT.-The follow
ing illustration is given of etiquette at the
French court in the time of Louis XIV: In
the queens apartment there were two cham
bers. One day the Queen saw speck of
dust on her bed, and showed to, it Madame de
Luynes, her maid of honor. The latter sent
for the valet de chambre, bed-maker to the
queen, that he might show it to the valet de
chambre, bed-maker to the king. The latter
arrived at the end of an hour, but said that
the dust was none of his business, because
the bed-makers of the king made up the COM
mon bed of the queen, but were forbidden to
touch the state bed. Consequently the dust
must be removed by the officers of the house
hold. The queen gave orders that they
should be sent for; and every day for two
months, she asked if the dust had been
brushed off, but they had not yet found out
whose duty it was to remove the speck. Fin
ally, the queen took up feather duster, and
brushed it off. Great was the scandal there
of, but no one dreamed of blaming the alb
sen, of the officers they only found that the
queen had been wanting in etiquette.
