the Vigilance Committee, and permits his opin-
ions to give strong coloring to his statements.
1t appears, however, from the dispatches, that
the city is in veritable state of revolution
Both parties are entrenched, the Vigilance Com
mittee in jackson Square at the arsenal, and
the opposing forces, who support the regularly
constituted government in Lafayette Square
These Squares, as appears by map of New
Orleans, are both in the heart of the city and
but a few blocks apart
Out of the entertainments neither party ap-
pear to be able to operate. The Mayor, whose
vacillation of purpose is said to have disguised
all parties, after weak resistance succumbed to
the Vigilance Committee, and took refuge in their
camp. Whilst there he endeavored to depose the
Recorders, as the judges of the city are termed
who had assumed control and appointed spe-
cial police. Subsequently the Mayor, his safe
ty being guaranteed, left the quarters Of the
Vigilance Committee and proceeded to the St.
Charles Hotel The City Council was then con-
vened and Mayor Waterman impeached, remov-
ed from office, and Mr.. Sommers, President of
Board of Aldermen, appointed in his place.
The Chief of Police was also removed, a sue
cessor appointed, and the regular police reor-
ganized. These energetic movements seem to
indicate that the Vigilance Committee was
not as powerful as the previous accounts repre-
sented, and that out of their headquarters the
control of the city was in the hands Of their OPP
ponents. Arrests had been made by both par
ties, but neither had ventured to. the extreme of
Executing Lynch law upon their captives. The
Ionly actual collision reported occurred on Sa-
turday night, when the camp of the Vigilants
was attacked and several of their adherents kill
ed and wounded by the accidental discharge of
one of their own guns. The latest report is
that the ballot-boxes had been taken possession
of by the Sheriff, and the probability was that
no election would take place.
A later despatch states that the election was
held, and that Mr.. Stith, the American candi-
date had been elected by small majority
The Vigilance Committee were kept within
their barbados. The city was in a state OF
great excitement, bat.no serious collision seems
to have occurred.

BsgF At a late meeting of the Farmers Club
Of the American Institute, in New York, seve-
raj members made strong appeals for the pre-
servation Of small birds. Larks, in particular,
render highly important service by destroying
the seeds of noxious plants and larvae of the
wheat fly. A paper ema mating from society
for preserving useful animals enumerates many
kinds of birds which are Of the greatest advan-
tage, in similar ways, to the farmer The dog
nuisance was also discussed, and denounced =
1t was said that the first reaping machine was
made by the Gauls, before the time of Julius
Cesar. By the description, it was something
like the Illinois header, being pushed before the
team, and gathering the heads, leaving the straw
standing in the field. Wood mould was recon-
mended as fertilizer for strawberries.

The cool, conservative thinking press of the
country grieve over the mob rule in New Or
leans, as reflection upon American capacity
for self-government The New York Journal of
Commerce has judicious article upon the subject.
1t argues very correctly that there can be no true
government when the forms Of government are
superseded and when it's representatives, even if
as bad as reported, are put down by a mob
If there is good reason for the action taken by
the people of New Orleans now, and for the sim
liar proceeding in San Francisco not many
months ago, if these proceeding can be defend
ed on the plea of necessity, in order to prevent
crime, and to protect society, then our system
of government is failure, and must sooner OF
later give place to a stranger and more concen-
trated form of administering the laws and main
/ ing public justice. We quote:
| When society becomes so corrupt, and crime
so far goes UNPUBLISHED, that good men, the
friends of order and Of public virtue are oblig-
led to depose the public authorities and to usurp
has come, and the government which for more
than three quarters of a century has been OH
pride, and Which for large proportion of that
period has challenged the world. has ceased to
perform its functions, and no longer deserves
the confidence which has been reposed in it.
There is no such thing as a revolution in aid
of the law and Of government. When men as
sumo an attitude of hostility to existing author
tiles, they do so in subverson of the govern
ment under which they live It is idle to talk
of deposing the ministers of the law for the prr-
pose of restoring order and preventing crime
Let this be recognized as a just and proper pro-
ceeding and every ambitious man, every disap-
pointed aspirant after power, may easily find
an excuse for subverting the constituted author
tiles and setting up rule of his own
| The apology for revolution is always the
charge of bad government, of lax administra-
ton of justice, failure to protect the rights, the
lives and the property of the people. If that
reason can avail for the usurpation of power by
a vigilance committee in New Orleans, it may
hold equally good in New York, in Baltimore,
in Louisville, in Washington or anywhere
where vice and, immortality prevail, and where
laws have failed to mete out due punishment to
offenders. There is no hating place, no middle
ground between law and order on the one hand,
and revolution on the other
The American people must put their seal of
condemnation at once, and with emphasis, upon
all proceedings calculated to subvert the legal
and legitimate authorities, whether in national,
state, municipal or township affairs Public or
der must be maintained through the legitimate
and legal authorities.
