Every one yoa put ou lits right and looks well. A cnnniy bird fair is the latest London novelty. The Republican, regardless of the brittlcness flnd transparency of its own tenement continues to stones at the Picayune.

It charges' the Picayune with partisanism; It does not deny that it is itself an extreme partisan organ, but it affirms that the JPicoyune is no better. Why In the first place, the Republican finds us much kinder to Democratic than to Republican thieves. We don't have much to say about the escape of Boss Tweed, whose conviction was secured by the energetic prosecution by Democratic lawyers, and we have not attacked the reputation of Mr. Geo. H.

Pendleton, against whom no charges have been aa substantiated. Furthermore, have commented upon the proven roguery "of Republican revenue, officers at St. Louis, while we have refrained" from denouncing the merchants against charges, yet unproven, are pending here. Worse stillwhen a crime is Committed by a negro we announce the race origin of the criminal. If for these seasons the Picayune deserves the accusation of partisanism, we cheerfully accept that status.

The Republican, having charged the Picayune with an ignorance of history and a disregard of logic, now shirks the test to which we would submit its ridiculous assumption of superiority in those particulars. It evades committing itself to a denial of the fact that the Republican party brought about the war secession and that the emancipation of the negro was a war measure and his emancipation a party necessity. It virtually admits as much but it will go on claiming the support of the blacks for its party on the score of gratitude. It knows it will, and everybody else knows how essentially absurb that claim be. The negro's attitude toward the Republican and its party is that of a benefactor to a beneficiary the Republican admits it.

Civil war," says the Republican in explanation of emancipation, 44 often brings results not contemplated by those who commence it" that is to say, the Republican party began the war and emancipated the blacks in opposition to its original intention. Precisely so. The Republican at last concedes the point for which we have always contended, i Passing these matters, the Republican goes on to say But one important question arises from the otherwise useless disputing with the pen over what has been settled with the sword. It is this Does the Democracy acquiesce in emancipation? Is Democracy content that the civil and political lights granted the colored people by the amended constitutions and the laws shall he maintained Let us have some pledge on the, subject, and leave the assertions of Greeley and the answers of Pollard to the dust which has gathered around them. Once for all, the Picayune does not speak in the name of the Domoc racy but, if the Republican intends those questions for us, we.

are free to pay that the Southern people, with whose sentiments and aspirations we profess to be quite as well acquainted as that organ, have accepted the situation in good faith and will be found as ever true to the constitution and all its amendments. Having gone so far, the Republican concludes with the following remarkable paragraph: The Picayune' criticises the ability with which the Republican is conducted. We indulge in no recriminatory criticism, just because we never weaken our argument by disparaging our opponent's, nnd somewhat, perhaps, because the Picayune proprietors might engage some lees and more formidable exponents of its position. We regret that the Republican" should have miunderstood us. We have noticed its comments and criticisms upon ourselves and our political, convictions only because we regard it.

as the most able and authoritative exponent of Radicalism in this State. must admit, however, that the Republican does well in avoiding everything which may have a tendency to weaken an argument sufficiently feeble as well attempt to 4 paint the lily, to gild refined geld," or dilute that famous Taunton water which had not strength enough to run down hill. WARD CLUB K0WDYI8M. The shooting and probable killing of the colored man "Nicholas, on Monday evening, by Washington, in' the Ninth Ward, illustrates a particular species of political manipulation which is not, by. any, means," peculiar to New Orleans.

Nicholas was a candidate for President of a'Repub lican club in the ward and Washington, his reputed friend, was a com missioner of election. The excite ment over, the counting of the ballots grew Tery high and resulted as above 'stated. "Whether the shooting was intentional by accident is a matter for judicial determination the prime' causes hich led to it are the same laDg may at an time work, a similar consummation. t. 1 1 To "those uninitiated in dark jteries of ward politicsthe scramble for official preferment in clubs must' otmear strange "ami unaccdunt Election to these offices is not always a badge of merit or honor it not unf requently carries with it the reproach and condemnation of all good and respectable citizens by the Eordid un scrupulousness employed in effecting it.

There is another i more potent men sometimes" 'allow, themselves "to be 'dragged through the purlieus of ward politics with a view to obtaining an chair, ltis because the power: vested in an oBicer of club frequently gives him an opportunity of accomplishing great practical nds to bis own ndt Vantage, and we are not blind to the foot n.ot tmilnHnns of' the kind have not been limited to Republican ward clubs. ''r'" The occurrence of Monday night is not at all unprecedented.1 Scarcely an election takes place here that scenes of this sort are not enacted, and no political party can claim immunity from the reproach. It is the immediate result of unruly passions, private aspirations and concealed weapons, and. its anticipated occurrence, election after election, has kept many a good man from his ward club meeting. OBSTRUCTING THOROUGHFARES.

morning we published a statement of an itinerant showman, who received a permit from the City Hall, on the payment of the usual ten dollars, for the privilege of exhibiting what he calls the Anglo Saxon Punch and Judy." His statement, briefly, was to the effect that he had been mulcted in KPiveral small sums by patrolmen on their beats for the exercise of the privilege which his license guaranteed, and was finally suppressed by a peremptory order from the sergeant. 0s The action of the sergeant was afterwards sustained by the Superintendent, and the showman threatened with imprisonment should he again attempt to revive the drama." The ground alleged for this order was that the show obstructed the thoroughfares where exhibited, and was therefore in violation of the city ordinance. We are prepared at ail times to give our approbation to the removal of obstructions wherever, they may occur, and even to sanction the absolute suppression of all such nuis sances should they be persisted in but we are not disposed to subscribe to the proposition that the police shall arbitrarily and capriciously define what an obstruction is. It is possible, in these times of official venality, that an officer see an obstruction in different lights, so qualified by collateral influences that it ceases to obstruct after a little consideration. Then, a very harmless thing in a very harmless place might be magnified into something should these 44 collateral influences 'cease to be exerted.

We know that a policeman, clothed in the nyyesty Of law, is a terrible being. We have been taught to think so from earliest infancy, and would not excite his ire by encroaching on his dignity or questioning his privileges as a conservator of the peaee but there were such things known to the despots, as limit, and we protest against this autocrat of the beat lording it with so high a hand. showman was not obstructing thoroughfare wheri ordered to and, perhaps, if he had exerted a little cunning, in the management of his pocket book, might be at liberty to proceed as long as he pleased. But it is not this case which invests the matter with any particular interest. It is the principle it involves, which shows that policemen "are capable of doing a great injustice from unworty motives, and their actions are sustained by their superiors, if not actually connived at.

It is a principle fraught with much mischief and vexation, and may at times assume the dimensions of a positive outrage. i The New York Sun turnsf the illuminating power of its rays upon the dark places of Secretary Robeson's administration, and finds only conclusive evidence of his guilt. 44 Mr. Secretary Robeson," say's the Sun, takes nearly two columns' to say what he might have said "in two syllables: guilty." In 1871 Robeson withdrew the foreign naval account of the United States from the house of Baring Bros. who have had it since 1815, and transferred it to the comparatively new firm of Jay Cooke, McCul loch Co.

It has not been alleged that the old firm ever occasioned the Government the loss of a cent, or ever failed in any particular to discharge all the obligations of The Secretary of the Navy can give no better reason for the change than that while Baring Brothers Co. only gave, a bond of $30,000, Jay Cooke and McCulloch gave one of $100,000. If this proves anything it shows that the Government felt the need of increased security from the new firm. Either sum is a mere bagatelle in comparison with the immense amounts the Secretary of the Navy subsequently remitted" to Jay Cooke, McCulloch Co. Indeed, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the change was made for reasons personally interesting to the Secretary of the Navy.

When the house which had found favor in his eyes fell. into a condition pecuniary embarrassment, when its American correspondents, Jay Cooke had disastrously and discreditably instead of withdrawing his deposits the Secretary merely took from it some pledges in the form of railroad iron and railroad bonds, and the account with it. In 1873, when the time for a new remittance bad arrived, he remitted to the same firm the sum of one million and sixty six thousand dollars, taking as additional security, only some old and new railroad iron and some claims and accounts. Mr. Robeson affirms' that the and.

Secretary of the. Treasury, were consulted about this transaction granting they were, how does that fact excuse his reckless risk of Government funds? It only shows that was not alone in his guiltnot 'that he was guiltless.1 Secretary Robeson also avers that when jhe over trusted had failed, he did his best to convert some of the assets into cash that is to say, he tried to make the best of a bad bargain but why did I he make a bad bargain, when he' might have made a good one 'j Why School Matter This week the term of the members of the State Board of Eduoation expires, but it is not probable Superintendent Brown will immediately make morrow, the 6th instant, the terms of Messrs. and In graham as members of the City Board, will expire. The latter, however, has already resigned. Key term expires on the 8th, Longstreet and Gardner, on 9th, and Pinoh on the 12th.

This, with McCarthy's place, makes seven vacancies, but Mr. Brown thinks he will reappoint the same persons, except in the cases of Ingraham and McCarthy. The Funding Board and the Macau ley Bends! Some time ago Gov. Kellogg was somewhat surprised upon learning that the case decided by Judge Woods about two years since and appealed to the United Supreme Court, or Macauley vs. the State, involving the right of State officers to exeoute the.

Tprovisions of the "funding law had, on motion of the attorneys for the State, Messrs. Fellows and Durant, been advanced upon the docket of the United States Supreme Court and submitted on briefs. Though Gov. Kellogg did not doubt that Judge Woods's decision would be sustained, still, because of the great importance which the case involved to the State, he thought it best to let it remain in its order on the docket, as it would then not be decided for a year at least, and in the meantime all the funding would be accomplished, besides that the State would in a. better condition to present the case fully and secure a better and more exhaustive consideration.

As soon as the Governor learned that the case had been advanced on the docket he telegraphed to ex Senator Carpenter and others, stating his views and urging that the ease be carried over. Monday he received a dispatch that the case had been postponed till the next term, and though the belief is that the case would be decided in favor of the State, it has been thought better to thoroughly secure the matter. Recently it was ascertained, upon examination, that all the Macauley bonds involved in the suit, had been funded, but an intervention has been made, and it is also believed that all the bonds included in the intervention have been funded. There only now remain about 4,000,000 in bonds to be funded which are not questioned, and it is expected that they will all be disposed of by January. 1877.
