Justice i the Right Of Every Man,
without Cost.

the lkws We venture to say. since the
first regular institution of laws for the Cow
eminent of man, there has not been SO little
Justice delt out from Courts and Jures as
the public are daily served with through |
the courtesiesf learned attornys and more
learned Judges. There is not an hour but
what some new case is recofaed in the pa
pers, to show how far man ny go justi-
fed by thelaw in getting possessions what
- x.h+;+,ed r. ~
Perhaps there is no State in the Union
with as many absurd statutes, as this OF
Louisiana. There is ridiculous law re-
curing women to verify the acts OF men
no sale is of force in Louisiana without the
sanction of women. Look at the result
There is not day but what some innocent
third party is taken in and done for" by
the wife's bringing suit for something she
has no more right to than her eleventh
German, cousin. Suppose the fact be
established beyond all manner of doubt, can
the purchaser retain what he has paid for
bought in good faith-and had recorded
according to law? BY ne means. He Is
fortunate if he gets off after loosing mis- pro-
pertv, if he has enough left to pay his law
yer the fees and cost of suit. Now we hold
that ,usticc is the right Of every man, free
and without cost, and it is daily doed out
to them alone that can pay for it.
And we can show beyond any possible
flaw or cavil, that ministers of the law and
attorneys go about hunting eases,-and
(where they can't find them) making cases
arraving friend against friend, and relative
against relative under promises that for one
half, they can recover all that has passed
from athe family by legal process for the
last half century. 81
| The dead are libled with the charge OF
fraud. and Injustice because the dead IL
modern times have not been known to rls'
and confront the perjured witness. How
much longer is the community to be made
the prev orspecuators? What are obliga
tons? Why theirs is no obligations
Roeuery and swindling, is the order OF tn
dav. and the only sin about it, is bein
found caught by the very snares that ar
, laid for others.
f To say any thing about that beautiful
system of laws called the Tacit Mortgas
system, requires more room tnan we ca
spare, and as it is Sunday Morning we d
not feel Ike working ourself into passion

For GovERNoR.-There is some interes
manifesting in regard to the next tandida'
of the Wing party for Governor. Sever;
J, gentlemen stand prominently forward
+ possible recipients of the honors of the Cor
yention. Duncan F. Kenner, John Moor
Judge McWhorter, Edward Sparrow an
II others Of those mentioned. we are dlspt
d sed to believe that Judge McWhorter ar
n Judge Moore are in the most favorable p'
e. sition to obtain nomination. In the Al
Congre ssional district Judge Moore ma
3 be the favorite, elsewhere Judge McWho
: ter is likly to distance his competitor.
e, Perhaps Judge McWhorter is the mo
N popular man whom the Wings can at Il
v present moment lect.
We, however, await the wisdom OF t
convention which is soon to assemble.
n elect either of the aspirants will reqm
ID union on the part of Wings, and coinbn
T. effort. Their organization must be ma
more perfect. There must be less OF II
practicability-more concession OF oplnIo
~ Properly organized, they must succeed.
