The DI)MoCIAT has just added to its oillco a new and complete Steam Job Printing department, with all the latest and most desirable improvements in types, rules, borders, etc. We are now fully prepared to compete with any job printing establishment in the South. We can turn out, at the shortest notice, anything from a newspaper or a book to a lady's visiting card, in the best style of the art. We shall devote special at tention to commercial printing and to the printing of lawyers' briefs. We earnestly solicit the support of our friends in our progressive efforts. Bly the proclamation of Gov. Hamp ton, to-day, May 24, has been set aside as Thanksgiving Day for the people of South Carolina to return thanks for their deliverance from misrule. Logas., of Illinois, has settled in Col orado, and the reason for this, it is said, is not a desire for the solitude and quiet of that land of mines and mountains, but a belief that he may yet be elected Senator from Colorado, as he was not elected Senator from Illinois. We hope this may be so, and might forgive Col orado its birth, which lost us the presi dency, if it elects Logan; because such action will be a strong incentive and in ducement to men like Logan to do like him and move West. There would then certainly be a mighty rush of ex-Sena tors, Representatives, carpet-baggers, etc., to the new States like Colorado, If then the Black Hills, Arizona, New Mexico, eto., be admitted into the Union as States, it will free us of a large and superfluous population of politicians for wh!ch we have no need. The South has lately had to supply offioes for this superabundant population of politicians from the North. That day'is happily passed. We would like, however, to per manently "move" on this class of people to the West, and have little doubt that they will follow Logan's lead if Logan is successful in his quest; then we may hope to see our Kellogg again in the Cap itol as Senator from the Black Hills and Packard stumping Arizona in the in terests of rice and reform. The poli ticians' emigration has begun. Let us do all we can to help it. Onward to Col orado! Some recent developments in Indiana show that the manner in which the Re publicans began the late Presidential campaign was fully as disgusting as the manner in which they completed it and inaugurated their candidate as Presi dent. Indiana, it will be remembered, was chosen as the first battle field of the campaign,andthe Republicans felt that if they could carry that State, the fight was, indeed, won. AllWheir resources, therefore, all their money, all their ora tors, all their strategy, were concen trated in Indiana, and the most gigantic efforts made to obtain a majority by hook or crook. Two circumstances in the Republican management of the campaign attracted universal attention at the time, but could then be only par tially explained; these were the retire ment of Orth, the original Republican nominee for Governor, and the with drawal of Wolcott, the Greenback can didate, in favor of the Republican nom inee. Late developments have exposed the true inwardness of these with drawals, and the check for $15,000, paid to Olleman, secretary of the Green back State Central Committee, for Wol cott, by the Republicans, to induce the witl drawal of Woloott, has not only beeni traced up, but found. Iast winter the House of Representa tivel, it is said, heard of this transac tion, determined on an investigation, and even sent a sergeant-at-arms to Indianapolis to arrest Olleman and Wolcott, but the birds had flown, left for parts unknown, and did not return until long after Hayes was peaceably inaugurated. It is perhaps too late now to investigate this matter more fully, and it can be of little advantage, in any way, except as a key note of the manner in which the late campaign was begun and carried on by the R3pub licans, and as proof that all the charges made against them then were true .In a dozen different places the mysteriesof the late campaign are slowly leaklfit out, and they will probably furnish is time a full history of Radical tactics for our service.in the.next election. NEW ORLEANS MUST BEI MADE A FREE CITY. The commission engaged in the inves tigation of the subject of licenses and port charges is prosecuting its investi gations with industry and a thorough research into the laws and regulations of other States and cities touching these interesting subjects,and it has proceeded far enough to lay bare the enormous obstructions which burden our com merce and prosperity. Enough has been exhibited to the members of the committee to satisfy them that without great and material changes in the system, inherited from the Span ish governors of this State, of burden ing industry and trade with innumer able exactions and fees, all the other various enterprises, like railroads, and deepening the bar of the Mississippi, and constructing canals, will prove in effective to revive and promote our prosperity as a great commercial mart. The abolition of such restrictions is the first step towards these objects. In stead of being as nearly as possible a free city for the landing and exchange of the great products of the Mississippi Valley, of which it is the depot, and the controller of the mouth of the river, it has been converted through this old Spanish policy into a close port, where rings, monopolies and local govern ments are nourished and supported by a taxation which would be rejected even in Oriental ports, and which has long since been abandoned in all prosperous and progressive cities. Indeed, the old Spanish system has been improved in this respect by their American succes sors. Their old charge for deposit on all products landed on the levee, which, before the cession provoked the filil buster movements in the upper country, and threatened to bring down upon the Spaniards the whole fighting population of Kentucky and Tennessee, was a mere trilte to the aggregate charges now heaped upon every product landed and manipulated in this city. Here we have wharfage rates now graduated so as to liquidate an old debt of the city, incurred with a vast amount of fraud by a previous government, for wharves now long since swept away, though the Supreme Court of the Inited States has determined that no charge for wharfage can be made, ex cept for the repair and keeping in good order the wharves. Then we have or permit heavy charges for towage, for pilotage, quar antine charges, harbormasters' fees, partwardens' fees, wharfingers' fees, and for inspection of all commodities, and heavy licenses for the sale of all articles from blackberries to beeves. Suppose the city were to abolish all these charges which are within its con fine, and the Legislature should enact laws to restrict the overcharges of licensed monopolies, what enormous relief would it bring to commerce and what encouragement it would give to enterprise, and capital? What other reform would go so far to make this a free port and city, and attract population, trade and capital ? And even if such a policy should necessitate an increase of the burdens on property and income, would it not in the end prove a benefit and re lief to the taxpayers in the increase of the profits of their trade and of the value of their real estate. Can we expect such an increase as long as we persist in a system of gov ernment exactions and restrictions of trade that repels trade and industry ? Other communities have offered boun ties to encourage people to engage in productive industries and enterprises. Here the first thing that is done is to tax them. Before you can sell a single article, even the product of your own brain and skill, you must pay a license; and the rates are very high, to both city and State; and this is justified on the policy and pretext of protecting estab lishments which have paid licenses and thereby required a sort of monopoly. As if it were the policy of a city whose pop ulation has declined, and consequently employments and occupatious, to pre vent any addition to the number of our population and to the amount of capi tal and enterprise employed in trade and industry. And as if the abolition of this license system would not place resident traders and all new-comers on a basis of equality and thereby secure to the people the benefits of free trade and competition. We fervently hope that the able com mission engaged on this subject, com posed of some of our ablest legislators and our most intelligent merchants, will sift these questions to the bottom, and present some practical plan for a com plete change and revolution of the too long indorsed old Spanish, or rather Chinese, system that has prevailed in this city ever since its foundation. Make New Orleans a free city should be the motto and aim of all who seek the most direct and immediate mode of redeeming our city's prosperity. Almost in the same telegram which brings the intelligence that the Presi dent is determined to carry out his idea of civil service reform, comes the news that the post of Solicitor of the Trea sury has been offered to ex-Gov. Cham berlain, of South Carolina. Which, now, is the best evidence of the President's in tentions in this reform of the service, his promise, repeated already a score of times, of appointing only proper men to office, or this offer of this appointment to Chamberlain? The ideas entertained by the people of this country in respect to civil service reform are receiving some ter rible shocks. It was announced, when Hayes first went in, that the Federal offices were open to all competent per some, without regard to formenr political afallations. Boon after it was declared that only Republicans would be ap pointed, but that these, in the South at least, would be only "good" and decent Republicans; it was afterwards con' cluded to modify this rule by appoint ing only workers; that is, politicians who had worked for Hayes in the late election; and finally, we wind up with Chamberlain. If this is the reform in the service to which we are so rapidly moving, it is about time to halt and con sider a little. The people of South Carolina are put ting their house in order; they have re formed their judiciary, improved their legislature, etc., but have finally come to an undertaking more gigantic than the cleasing of the Augean Stables, at which they have to pause and hesitate, and that is the University of South Car olina. At one time one of the most suc cessful and prosperous universities in the South, it degenerated during Rad ical rule into a disgusting political ma chine. The professors were a 16t of small politicians, selected wholly for their services to the party ; three-fourths the students were negroes; the expen ses were heavier than during its most prosperous years; and finally, although the whites paid altogether for the insti tution they were denied all its privi leges. Such was the University of South Caro lina as it was found by the Ham pton gov ernment. The Legislature concluded that it was beyond doctoring. No legis lation could patch it up. It had to be completely disinfected, iebuilt and re established. The University, therefore, has been closed by the present Legislature, the professors dismissed, and the students sent home. In a year or two it will te open on a new basis, and in time prob ably attain its old renown. This was a wise action on the part of the Legisla ture. There was no other cure but this for the disease RItdicallsm brought on; and we of Louisiana might imitate with advantage the example of the South Carolinians and abolish altogether some of the relies of Radical rule rather than attempt to patch them up into re spectability and decency. It can not be done. NEW ORLEANS PACIFIC RAILWAY. TO THE PEOPLE. In spite of the well understood fact that the New Orleans Pacific Railway Com pany never had any other idea than to build their road continuoutsl from New Orleans to Shreveport, on Red River, and Marshall, Texas, and have the en tire line between these initial and ter minal points under contract, some per sons for want of information, and others who are the enemies of all pub lic enterprises, from a motive to mis represent, persist in asserting and cir culating the contrary. Once for all, the Directors of the New Orleans Pacific Railway Company pro claim that so soon as the subscription to their great undertaking is voted by the people, working parties in large num berg will be placed both between New Orleans and Alexandria, and Alexandria and Shreveport and Marshall. Already their contractor is calling for fifteen hundred men at good wages! E. B. WHEELOCK, HUGH KENNEDY, E. L. RANLETT, JNO. H. KENNARD, B. W. TAYLOR, E. A. PALFREY, GE ). JONAS, SAM'L H.
