NEW OeLEAUN, JULY !Q, a821.
The Only Autherei Soeleitting Agents
of the Demeerat fbr the City are Messrs
,M. H. DAKER and F. 0. DEVERIN.
Texas flour and oats are beginning tq flow
quite freely into our market though they
have but onA line of transportation, by Mor
gan's line from Clinton, Texas.
The elections to the Ohio State Republican
Convention indicate that Hayes still holds
that party against the bloody shirts. The
large majority of the delegates elected are
indorsers of the Administration. There are,
however, dissenters enough to insure a Dem
ocratle victory in the approaching State elec
tion.
The Now Hampshire Republicans in their
convention give a very qualified and halting
indorsement of the President and his policy.
They admit the President's good Intentions,
as did that unique street contractor, Ben
Wade of Ohio, but more than insinuate an
apprehension that he is a credulous, unso
phisticated young gentleman who has been
seduced and bamboozled by that red-capped
Mephistopheles, the South. The Republicans
having elected him, must stand by him until
lie leaps clean over the fdIke and falls on the
side of the solid South. "Meantime they
must watch and pray.."
The Hoodlums of California are a curious
organization, who claim an affiliation with
the labor strikers of the East. It appears,
wover, that their movements are on the
very opposite line of the policy of the labor
strikers. They burn and break up the China
men, who are doing pretty much all the labor
of the city, on the broadest principles of free
trade, without aid, subsidies or any sort of
favors or exclusive privileges. They fix their
own rates of wages and dictate to nobody,
and coerce no one to employ or support them.
Instead of a strike of labor this movement
against the Chinamen ought to be regarded
as a strike of idlers and bummers against
labor and industry.
We publish with pleasure Mr. Blanc's
statement as to the contributions of the Su
gar Shed Company to the city revenues. We
have no desire to misrepresent any fact in re
lation to this or any other association of the
city, and, in fact, took more than ordinary
care to obtain all the information in regard
thereto which could be procured, and were
little facilitated therein by the parties inter
ested in the company. In regard to the state
ment as to the non-payment of State taxes,
we have corrected it elsewhere. As to the
city taxes we cannot agree with Mr. Blanc,
that a bonus which does not amount, under
the contribution as reported by the City
Council for the use of the privilege enjoyed
by this company, to more than ten thousand
dollars for ten years, can be a fair computa
tion of a tax which, according to that imposed
on other citizens, would amount to more than
twenty-seven hundred dollars per annum.
The Times inquires by what authority and
under what law Escobedo was arrested by
the United States authorities on the Rio
Grande whilst making preparations to cross
into Mexico and engage in revolutionary and
war operations in that country.
We presume that such arrest was made
under what is known as the Neutrality Act,
(we believe, of 1818,) the same under which a
great many arrests have been made in this
city. These arrests go back almost to the
very (late of the acquisition of Louisiana,
the act of 1818 being an amendment of a pre
vious act, passed in the preceding century.
It was under this act Jean and Pierre Lafltte
were arrested and held for trial in 1813; and
under the same acts, we believe, Aaron Burr
was prosecuted in 1806; and various citizens
of New Orleans in 1836, charged with pro
paring expeditions to aid Texas, then em
barked in a revolution against Mexico; Lopez
and others in 1850; Quitman, Henderson and
others in 1853, and Walker and associates in
1856.
This act has always been interpreted to
apply to any government or State with
which the United States are at peace,
whether the individuals administering that
government be recognized by our govern
ment or not. The contract is with the State
or nation, not with the persons administering
its powers.
This law, with this interpretation, has not
unfrequently been violated in our history,
and has always been unpppular and odious
It is. nevertheless, the law, and we see no
reason or justice in setting it aside for the
benefit of Escobedo, who like all the Mexican
revolutionists seeks to use the authority and
resources, the moral and physical power of
our people and country to overturn the exist
ing de facto government of Mexico, with the
distinct pledge of prolonging the policy and
malignant prejudice of the Mexican people
against the Anglo-American race, whose cold
uization and protection can alone give perma
neaggovernment and insure prosperity, order
.and peace to that chaotic country.
This law has been applied against persons
whose revolutionary designs were based on
thq4itatinct assertion of this policy of Amer
ican colonization and protection. Why should
it not be enforced against Mexican revolu
tionists who seek to perpetuate the wretched
semi-barbarian policy of exclusivism and un
compromising hostility to the "Northern
q1andala ?"
A SOCIAL ORISIS.
In this material ago of money-gotting, the
commercial spirit has usurped the place of
the religious fervor of the middle ages, and
the groat moneyed monopolies are now what
the religious corporations were then. This
spirit Is alike the mainspring of individuhl
conduct and controlling motive of national
policies, The centres of civilization are marts
and market places, and the hum of industry
and the din of the wheels of commerce move
men's hearts as once only the murmur of
prayers or the fierce aggression of'some new
evangel could. Its outposts are trading
stations, where once they were monasteries,
and the saint and crusader have given way to
the trader and merchant.
How closely groat commercial interests and
moneyed Institutions are interwoven with
the fabric of society is shown by the profound
impression that has been made upon the
whole country by the labor strikes along the
Eastern railways. What was at first but a
limited movement; involving the interests of
but a single class, has become in almost every
locality where it has developed any strength
a social convulsion affecting society in all Its
grades, and from a "strike" It has almost as
sumed the proportions of a revolution.
In the State of West Virginia, at least, the
local authorities have proven themselves un
able to cope it, while In Pennsylvania and
Maryland the strength of the State govern
ments Is being put to the severest test.
In view of this great crisis, it becomes all
good men to reflect, in their character of ltl
zens, how much they may have contributed
to the bringing about of this state of affairs,
and what they can do to avert the calamities
It threatens to society. It is idle to assume
that Its offects will be confined to any locality;
the workingmen throughout the length and
breadth of the land will all feel a deep sym
pathy with the strikers in what they will re
gard as a war of defense against the aggres
sions and encroachments of capital, and a
legitimate effort to secure the advancement of
miserably insufficient wags to rates upon
which they can live in some degree of com
fort. Their ideas of comfort may be based on an
extravagant scale, and may be the outgrowth
of an age of profligacy and waste; it is also
barolyr possible that in the majority of cases,
and especially of those of the most violent of
these hard-handed martyrs of toil, the senti
mental tableau of the pale wife and hungry
children may be entirely eliminated, and in
their place substituted a too confiding rum
seller and a bloated courtesan. Indeed, it
may fairly be assumed that the men who
went into these violent demonstrations last
and most reluctantly were those who do in
reality go home to pale faces and hungry bel
lies. But it is for these ideas, and these
shameful facts, that society In the aggregate
is responsible, and how to correct them is
now the food of sweet and bitter fancy upon
which we must ruminate. i
It matters not how heartily the laboring
men of other avocations may have sympa
thhtod with the railroad employes when they
first struck, as citizens they are now bound to
lay aside all such feelings. No one questions
the right of employes to quit work, either as.
individuals or by a concerted movement
when they become dissatisfied with their
wages. But the right of capitalists and em
ployers to regulate the compensation they
shall pay for labor should be equally re
spected, and the moment it is attempted to
restrict this right by a resort to mob violence
the whole question Is changed, and what was
a contest between labor and capital becomes
a conflict between law and anarchy. When
these strikes against railroad corporations be
came riots against societythey lost their only
claim to sympathy and became outlawed,
meriting and provoking the stern rebuke of
all good citizens. The man who is incapable
of appreciating this fact Is unworthy of the
responsibility of citizehship. Workingmen
are not less interested than others in that so
cial order and supremacy of law which is ne
cossary to the well-being of society. It is to
these that we all owe alike the prosperity we
may meet with, employment and the ability
to provide for our families and educate our
children. Even the tramps and vagabonds,
the pariahs of society, who go most readily
into those demonstrations of lawless violence
under the belief that they can do
nothing to make their situations worse,
in the end discover that there are yet depths
of misery they had not sounded.
The man who is capable of readily appreciat
ing these facts will discover a profounder sig
nificance in these demonstrations than can be
drawn from any mere derangement of the ar
tificial relations of labor and capital. and he
will look beyond the apparent and immediate
complaint of insufficient wages for the under
lying causes of this wide-spread and radical
convulsion of society. He will discover that
it is attributable, in the niain, to a universal
popular and national demoralization; to a
spirit of insubordination, a feverish dissatis
faction that permeates the whole social
fabric and affects all orders of men. He
willlnote the existence among the people
of a great immorality, a general indifference
to obligations, a tendency to riotous living
and profligacy and the supremacy of that phi
losophy which teaches that sufficient for the
day is the evil thereof. Hie will sigh for the
rarity of discipline, restraint and temper
ance, and find al. homely virtues rare as
roses in December. The various trade unions
may find much in all this trouble
for which they are responsible. They
have undoubtedly done much by their lack of
confidence in employers and their disposition
to dictate to them, and by their propensity to
wild and senseless invective and denunciation
of the heartlessness of capital to foster this
popular spirit of insubordination, which tends
to hamper the natural and rightful tendency
of trade to regulate itself, by appeals to vio
lence and unwise combinations. What we
must consider, then, as of infinitely more
importance than the temporary military sup
pression of violence, is how can this great and
universal immorality be corrected and reform
ed. How can the people be brought back to
proper ideas of honesty and frugality and the
practice of the good old virtues of temper
ance, industry and economy. But this reform
must be thorough to be effective; it must
begin in the highest places and reach down to
the lowest. HOW can these workingmen be
blamed for seeking to accomplish by violence
what should be left to peaceful solution
through the natural operation of the laws of
trade, when the example is set them by those
highest in authority? When State govern
inents are overthrown at the point of the
bayonet, and the presidency itself is regarded
as the legitimate reward of the most dishon
est conspiracy, and where fraud fails in the
accomplishment of a political object force is
freely resorted to, such uprisings as this are
by no means phenomenal.
There can be no excuse or palliation for
these crimes, while there is much that may
be said on the side of these strikers, and a
great deal of this the government itsolf is
responsible for. These men say, and with
justice, you give to capital extraordinary
protections and exclusive privileges; you
lend it your credit, which, by shrewd finan
clal operations, they make supply the ab
sence of real solidity and solvency, and then
you protect the mnonopolles you create by
extraordinary privileges and special legisla
tion. But what protection have
you afforded us, the men whose sinew
and muscle have created and given life
to these groat enterprises? What assurance
have we that our labor wins us a vested
right, or that when the days of our useful
ness are gone we shall moot with anything
but neglect and poverty? Nothing but the very
Imperfect obligations of charity and grati
tude. It is true that the step from this sort
of argument to Communism is but a short one,
but so long as the protective spirit exists
at all in the governmental pollty, labor has
more claims upon it than capital, and there is
a measure of justice and reason in these com
plainings.
All of this must be corrected, and how it
shall be (lone is the question of American
civilization.
NO SUBBIDY.
The Times says, refbrring to the resolutions
of the Ohio Democratic Convention:
"Ephraim is joined to his idols, and the
Democratic party of the North seems inca
pable of evolving a new idea." And this be
cause of the resolution in the platform of the
Ohio Democrats opposing subsidies, whereof
the Times save:
" In a 8tate that was built up by subsidies,
and is rapidly approaching a period when an
outlet for her agricultural products will be
reached only through the Mississippi river, a
refusal of government aid for its improve
ment is among the most glaring of recent In
consistencies."
* The duty of the Federal government to aid
in the construction and maintenance of the
levees of the Mississippi ought not to be
placed on the ground or given the character
or designation of at -; sidy. It is nothing of
the sort.
The obligation of the government to apply
a just amount of the revenues collected from
the people to the improvement of the rivers
and harbors through which the commerce of
one-half of the people must pass is not one of
charity, favor or benevolence. It Is a duty of
defense and protection of the people, and a
wise financial policy, which in itself is a duty,
to appropriate its revenues so as to augment
Its own revenues by increasing the tax-pay
ing capacities of its people.
Neither the States nor the people have
the means or agencies at their command to
keep this great "internal sea" within its
banks, so as to secure free and safe naviga
gation, and the enormous faillities which it is
capable of affording for the uses and vast en
largement of commerce. It can only be done
by the national government. The withhold
ing of such aid and defense of the vast terri
tory and population now more than ever de
pendent upon the secure navigation of the
Mississippi, and the protection of its rich
lands from submersion, would be thegrossest
Injustice, wrong and cruel neglect of which a
government with the resources of our na
tional government, was ever guilty.
We ask no subsidies, but the dwellers in the
Mississippi Valley and its tributaries demand
that a portion at least of the money paid by
them into the national treasury shall be ap
plied to the defense and protection of their
property, their commerce and their ,house
holds.
THE SUGAR SHED COMPANY.
We were in error in stating that the Sugar
Shed Company had not paid State taxes.
They resisted the demand therefor most
vigorously and for a long time, but were
eventually compelled to pay.
Our correspondent, "Saccharine," who de
fends this company against the report of the
Administrators, claims that the company has
paid the city some ten thousand dollars of
taxes. What has been paid the city is not for
taxes, but for rent anu use of the city proper
ty, for the privilege of collecting certain
charges on storage. It is not in lieu of taxes,
and its payment cannot exempt from the tax
ation to which all others engaged in the same
business are subject. We do not propose
now to reply to all the pleas set up by our
correspondent in defense of this corporation.
We will do so shortly. But we may as well
here notice a grave error lie makes in speak
ing of the chartered rights of this company.
This company has no charter, except that
which extends to and over all citizens and
property. It is only a lessee and contractor
with the city, which is charged with violat
ing and abusing the conditions of its contract.
It is a great and erroneous abuse of the term
to speak of the chartered rights of contrac
tors with a municipal corporation. Chartered
rights must emanate from the State. The
city cannot grant them. It is a creature of
the State itself. It may, however, make
contracts within the law and under the con
stitution. We have already enough chartered
monopolies created by'corrupt legislation,
without going to municipal corporations to
add to them.
Jenny Lind, who excited the greatest furor
ever known in this city, on her visit in 1850,
acknowledges to ftxty-six years, and writes
with exuberant joyfulness over her recent
achievement in maternity, in presenting her
husband with an "adorable little girl, who is
the perfect image of health and happiness,
and laughs and crows in a way to delight all
sympathetic hearts." The little Jenny is to
be a second nightingale.
Fifty-six years, and a new baby. Well, we
always thought Jenny was a phenomenon.
In musical gifts, in wonderful organization
physi 1 and intellectual-for the emission of
melodious strains, she was never equalled.
But to be historically exact, we never im
agined she would prove so brilliant a success
in the matrimonial and maternal line. She
was very homely, rather cross-grained, and
by no means of the tender and melting sort.
The only occasion on which she was ever
known to exhibit any gush of affection was
when parting from Boudro, who had charge
of her kitchen during her sojourn here,
in the Pontalba building. She embraced him,
kissed his cheek, and declared in her most
musical tones, "You are the only man that I
have known in this city who has ministered
to my happiness." This declaration, was
creditable to her heart and caste, for Boudro
was then the chef of gastronomy in this
city, and no one had a keener relish or a
larger appetite for artistic viands than the
Swedish nightingale.
For this alone she deserved to be a mother at
fifty-six. We trust, on little Jenny's account,
that her mother's appetite fa as good and
her cuisinler as accomplished as when she
partook of the hospitalities of our city, as the
guest of the Marchinoses do Pontalba and
the privilegod snjoyer of the masterly pro
ductions of Boudro's incomparable gas
tromony.
The leader of the Pittsburg strikers, who
opens diplomatle communications with Col.
Scott, has adopted rather strangely the name
of Pitcairn, which is that of the famous red
coat disperser of the British rebels at the be
ginning of our old revolution.
"Disperse, ye rebels, disperse," roared out
Major I'itcu.lrn to the Boston strikers, as that
memorable historian, Peter Parley, has writ
ten it down.
The Boston strikers dodged a little. but
didn't "disperse worth a continental." It re
mains to be seen whether the Pittsburg Pit
calm will not be moresuccessful in dispersing
Toni Scott, Gov. Hartranft and their rebel
backers.
The Times has a St. Louis letter describing
the march of two companies of United
States Infantry through the streets with
"Colonel" Fred Grant at their head. When
was Second Lieutenant Grant promoted to
the command of two companies of United
States Infantry, a command due to a major
or captain? For what acts or on what authori
ty has this aspiring young warrior obtained
this extraordinary advancement over the
hundreds of superior officers, mhiny of them
veterans on the army rolls. We thought
that Fred. was a sub-officer in Custer's regl
ment, and on leave of absence when that regi
ment was cut to pieces by Sitting Bull.
