If Cirant be re-elected we arc to

if Greeley is elected we arc to rule
ourselves.
'Die London Spectator is strongly
in favor of a woman's university in
England. It thinks that on many ot
the most delicate question s of m odern
civilization we need the lin?Jlfcgmeut
of educated women. Right.
A lady writer says, if women were
as particular in choosing a virtuous
husband as men are in selecting a
virtuous wife, moral reformation
would soon begin which would be
something more than froth and foam.
I joss Packard declares that if the
conservatives nominate Governor War
moth, he will have a straight-out
negro ticket nominated at Baton
lionge. If that would make him hap
py, Warmoth and the conservatives
could tine no cause for grumbling.
The editor of a paper in New Lon
don, Ohio, has abandoned a young
wife and run away with one of Iiis
fem de compositors. He ought to be
locked up in one of Iiis own galleys,
and put through a double cylinder
press.
pi incipal chief of the Cherokee nation,
died at Tahlequah recently. She was
a Miss Eyre, a white lady of Philadel
j 'hia, who conceived a romantic pas
sion for the chief, and was married to
him but a few months sincc, after the
death of his first wife.
j.
Grant is frightened. He is begin
ning to make promises. The follow
ing appeared in the Times-Chronicle
Washington special :
In conversation with an Ohio re
publican congressman a day or two
ago, President Grant said that in
case of his re-election ho intended
to make a general change in the of
fice-holders throughout the country.
As a rule, he said, he did not believe
that any person who^ield office du
ring one administration should be
retained for the full term of the suc
ceeding one, but that it was no more
than just that all faithful officers
should be free from removal until
they had seived four years.
It would seem from the above that,
in any event, the places which know
the present federal office-holders will
know them no more.— Shrevcport
lù j>.
The Bryan (Tex.) Appeal, says of
Mr. Greeley:
"Wo have been familiar with the
career of Mr. Greeley for the last
twenty-five years, and while he has
frequently, especially of lato years,
advocated men and measures that
did riot meet our approval, he has
ulways been -independent and open
in the expression of his views, and
we have never questioned his hones
ty or purity of purpose. If he should
be elected to the Presidency, we feel
sure of one thing: the people will
•have an honest administration, so
far as he can make it such.- He will
be no present taker; he will not try
to enrich himself or his family from
the public coffers; nor will he«hape
his policy and pervert his patronage
to secure his re-election. As to his
probable success in the approaching
canvass we have only to say: If
Gen. Grant is nominated by the
Philadelphia Convention, and the
passive policy is finally adopted by
the Democratic party, Horace Gree
ley can carry the South* Against
Grant, he can carry Texas by 50,000
majority."

SHALL A CANDIDATE UK
i DICTATOR.
So far as the Senate are concerned
the country has abdicated îta right
of self-government during the Presi
dential election. The law empower
ing the President to suspend at In
discretion the writ of habeas corpus
yesterday passed the Senate by a
vote 23 to 15. There was little gen
nine discussion in regard to it. The
partisans of the Administration and
the men who hope to be re-elected
by bayonets, wasted a few hours in
vague or scurrilous talk. The ashes
of the extinct rebellion were raked
and blown upon in every sense, to
see if some lingering spark of dan
ger could not be coaxed out of them.
The fact that seven years of con
stantly increasing quiet and tran
quility have passed ßince the war ;
that throughout the South it is the
first wish of lipo out of ten of the
population that peace and order
should prevail, that «immigration
should increase, and good will be
tween the races and the sections be
restored»—all these evident facts pro
duced no effect upon those stolid
politicians, intent only upon drawing
a possible ephemeral advantage from
their reckless and ungracious act.—
They have seemed to care as little
for tlio North as for the South.—
Every utterance of public opinion
has been against this deplorable leg
islation. The great majority even
of those papers which sustain the
Administration have deprecated the
further extension of this Ku-Ivlux
Act, as useless and dangerous. But
certain Senators of the South have
appeared to think they could gain
more from the presence of the sol
diers than they could lose by voting
to bring them, and their Northern
allies have steadily supported them,
with a sullen contempt for the uni
versal voice of warning they have
received from their constituencies.
This is a fact of especial signifi
cance. It would uot be difficult to
imagine the reasons which might in
duce Senators, anxious for infiueno
-
of their own people, to vote the
force bill
Lut the fact that the Administra
tion members have supported it ii
solid phalanx shows that it is earn
estly desired by the Executive, ant
that .this stroiic
will is silently exerting itself (o
complish this temporary Dictator
ship. If it were not for the stimu
lus of a powerful self-interest there
would be^ no disposition to endure
the open ill-will which even the pros
pect of this legislation has excited
in every part of the country. The
measure is clearly a political one.—
Its object is to use the army in the
canvass in the interest of the faction
.now in power. The present military
Administration has determined to
remain in ofiice. The men who are
strongest in it are men who know
but one way of accomplishing their
purpose—by direct and not very
punctilious action.' They can easily
persuade themselves that the good
of the country requires that they
shall bo continued in place. When
you make a soldier Dictator and
President, and virtually give him
the classic charge, " to take care
;ainst any objections.—
.
(ind unscrupulous
•
that the Iiepublic shall receive no
detriment"—you give him a very
wide range. In his opinion the Re
public could receive 110 greater det
riment than to fail to re-elect him.
Wo still have strong hopes of the
House of ltepresentatixes. They
have once or twice shown favorable
symptoms of a disinclination to be
mounted by the rough riders of the
Government. They are nearer to
the people than the Senate, and this
fact serves to preserve in them a cer
tain sense of responsibility. We
believo they will refuse to join in
this last desperate effort to revive
the old policy of hate and distrust
which has ceased to have any rea
son for existing. It is^time, now if
ever, for a resumption of the reigu
of law.
It is time to sheath the sword
which has been brandished too long
over the people of the South. Let
us have a true republican govern
ment oiico more. Iu the South, as
iu the North, let us have peace.

Will he catch it ?
ïîw, and for the first time, during
his presidential canter, 'the y real Na
tional Gift Taker has caught a worth
less gift.
THE FEIEND OF THE CARPET
BAG G FAIS.
Mr. Greeley never helped to elect
a single carpet-bagger in the State
of Louisiana. Ex-Governor Wick
liffe did help to elect a great many,
and he is striving now to re-elect a
great many more. Wo have no ob
jection to carpet-baggers, for wo are
constantly inviting them to come to
Louisiana from every section of the
world. The more of this sort of
population wo can get the better we
shall stand in point of wealth and
intelligence. There are two classes
of carpet-baggers, however, one of
which Mr. Greeley indorses, and one
which ho condemns. The man who
comes to the State as a bona fide
citizen of the country, with honest
designs and proper ambitions is ac
ceptable to us, and will find a friend
in Mr. Greeley ; the other man, who
enters the community with mean
and sordid objects to accomplish, is
reprobated alike by Mr. Greeley and
by ourselves. Ex-Governor Wick
lilTo is the friend of the man of the
latter class, since lie makes it possi
ble for him to succeed in his detesta
ble designs. This, we take it, is the
test of friendship. If the burglar
can succeed through the innocence
or weaknpss ofj^vig^^o wants
worst class of carpet-baggers can
succeed through the negligence or
perverse obstinacy of Mr. Wickliffe
in leaving his doors open, ho can
do nothing but want Mr. Wicklifft
as his friend. And this is just
Mr. Yv icklilTo is doing'. Ho is !■>]
a campaign that will end in the
defeat of his forces, and in the suc
cess of the very.carpet-baggers whom
lie pretends to hold in such disgust, !
And he is doing this contrary to the
id vice of Mr. Greeley.
breo
ha t,
If Mr. Wickliffe drives the Repub
lican party into a union by destroy
ing the head of one of its divisions
ho will meet a defeat. The worst
portion of the carpet-bag element is
opposed to Governor Warmoth, and
the colored people can be influenced
to support that faction if Governor
Vt armoth is deprived of his power
to (control it in the interests of hon
esty and good government. It thus
becomes a question whether the car
pet-baggers are to succeed by the
assistance of Mr. Wickliffe, or
whether the better portion of the
people arc to succeed with the assis
tance of Governor Warmoth.
If the men Mr. Wickliffe pretends
to*hold in so much disgust manage
to carry the next election in Louisi
ana, it will bo done through the ef
forts of such stupid and uncompro
mising obstinates ns he ig. The
peril of the moment is too great to
admit of nico talk with those who
are too dull to originate and too
weak to forget. Thi3 is not a per
sonal matter at present. The inter
ests of the country are all at stake.
The same men who elected the car
pot-baggers are in Louisiana still,
and if they are not led to the sup
port of bettor men they will sup
port the same old set. Mr. Wick
liffo is using his endeavors to force
the negroes in a given direction that
is full of evil auguery for the future
—Governor Warmoth is trying to
lead them into a better road, it is
with the people to say which of these
leaders they will help.—N. O. Rep.
