So, too, is the case in New Orleans, as
will be seen from the accounts published
in another column. SO it would have been
in New York, but for the fortunate cleo
ton of Mayor who seems determined
that the reign of ruffianism shall be sup
pressed. And so it will be in Cincinnati
and other towns, if the present rule of mad
rowdyism is not suppressed by the legal
authorities.

Just laws honestly executed. When these
cease to operate-when wrong is clothed
in the sacred habiliments of ldw, and COM
mon humanity made criminal by statute
respect for authority is impossible, and
the expectation of security delusion.
Under such circumstances. however, the
necessity is to be regretted, that the peo-
pie must. at last, fall back on their inherent
rights, and correct these abuses, or sink
into slaves. For the latter alternative
they are not yet prepared; for tie former,
we hope a timely reformation of "the pow
ers that 90" will avert the necessity.

A Vigilance Conn IIliLtee lll New Or
lCslAlS

Our readers will find in another column
an account of the organization Of Vigil
ance Committee in New Orleans. OH which
the Cincinnati Gazette" says:
The people of New Orleans are about to
have taste of the bitter fruits of an i'm
efficient police system, and wanton neg
lect of duty on the part of those charged
with the execution of the laws of the State
and city. For some time past, murderers,
assassins, robbers, gamblers, and rascals
of every class, have carried forward their
murderous and vilainous schemes, with
out experiencing any serious trouble at the
hands of the officers of the law. The
most coldblooded murders have been
committed recently in the streets of that
city, some of which were perpetrated in
public tl.oroughfares, and not IL single ar
rest was made. The laws were, in fact,
d;sregarded, and people were not safe in
walking the streets at any hour of the
twenty four. Neither was there protection
for property. Men were knocked down
and robbed with as much GOODNESS and de-
liberation as if such acts were in accord
ance with law. The Mayor Of the city
and his police folded their arms, and looked
on with Indifference at the bloody and dis
graceful scenes that were daily transpiring
in their midst, and no effort was made to
check the tide of outrages that swept over
the city. The consequence is, New Or
leans is sharing with San Francisco the
disgrace of a Vigilance Committee. By
telegraph we are advised that an indignant
and outraged people have taken the law
into their own hands, and are about to
re-cnact the frightful scenes which trans
pired in California some months ago. The |
tendency throughout the country is to the
same end. People are disposed to endure |
a great deal, but there is point beyond
which the Test cannot be safely carried.
Judges and officers charged with the ex-
ecution of laws should take warning.
Evils with which we are threatened may
De avoided, by dealing out justice with
irm and impartial hand. Sympathy for
and other criminals must yield
o the demands of society. Murderers,
obbers, gamblers, DC, must be punished;
otherwise our laws will not be respected;
he lives or property of our citizens will not

rease, and we will tend surely toward
cached. Let us profit by the experience
t others, and turn at once, new leaf.

riminal laws. This is the only safe
curse.

There are slight variations in the differ

We will state thon, briefly, somo OF the
principles OF American slavery as estab

Cd. The slave is, at all times, liable tc
be sold for the debts Of his mas .er, or by
the legal representatives of his deceased
master.
Cd. The master may determine the kind
and degree of labor TO which the slave
shall be subjected.
4th. The master may supply the slave
with only such food and clolhing as he
may think proper or find convenient.
9Th. The master may, ut his own dis
cretion, inflict punishment upon his slave,
or he may confer this authority upon any
one rs his agent, nor can the slave be a
party before Judicial tribunal against his
master for any injury he may receive,
however gross the i'll treatment.
9th. Slaves cannot redeem themselves
nor procure a change of masters, though
such change may he necessary TO their
personal safety.

9Th. Slavery is hereditary and perpetual.
9Th. "A slave cannot he a witness against
a white person, either in civil or crimi-
nal suit.
10Th. The benefits of education, secu
lar, moral or religious, are not granted TO
the slave, and it is made penal offense to
teach them the word of God.
llth. Entire submission is required of
the slave, not only to the master, but to
the will of all other white persons
18th. The law provides That children of
the slave mother shall be slsves, without
respect to color.
l2th. Matrimony cannot be contracted,
nor have the slave parents any legal right
over their own children.

APRIL.

This is busy month to the farmer
and gardener, and he who has neglec-
ted to prepare for its work at more
leisure season will have double task
to perform in making ready for work
and doing it. Tools and seed should
ere this have been ready for use, and
the teams in condition to perform their
work. Seed time is short in this
northern latitude, and he who sows
with the expectation Of reaping must,
at this season, hasten himself, else his
hopes of harvest will be blasted. The
duties of this month, if neglected but
for few days, must wait another
year. All departments of the farm
now require attention-the field, the
orchard, and the garden. Grain is to
be sown, trees and shrubbery trans
planted, the garden made in fact,
there is little world of business to
be done on the farm at this season.
The pillow and harrow should be
started as soon as the ground is in
working order. All kinds of small
grain, except buckwheat and the mil.
lets, do better when sown early espe-
cially is this the case with spring
wheat-its greatest safety from rust
being in early seeding. Potatoes
should be planted early. We know
from repeated trials that early plant.

as soon as ripe, is the surest guard

THE GARDEN.

If you would have good garden
and enjoy its luxuries, now is the
time to start the vegetables. 1t has
been truly said that, those who think
it cheaper to buy their vegetables
than to raise them, make false esti-
mate of profit, for there are other and
nobler profits than The profits of the
pocket. Whatever conduces most to
mans health and rational happiness,
is his real profit. And he who, for
the sake of saving few dollars or a
little labor, eschews garden, barriers
his birthright for less return thar
did Esau of old"
Sow salad, turnips, radishes, peas
onions, crrrots and beets early All
will stand the frost well set out your
cabbage stumps, they will soon throw
out sprouts affording luxury in the
line of greens and salad. Set out
beets, carrots, and other roots for
seed. Unless this is done early the
seed is liable to blast. Cucumbers,
squashes, melons, tomatoes and cab
bage plants, for early use, should be
transplanted from the hotbed the last
of April or first Of May. The cabbage
is hardy but the others may need some
protection, whenever there is danger
of frost.
1t is well known that there is
great scarcity of fruit in the North
west. 1t therefore becomes farmers
to lay out orchards, plant trees, and
otherwise hurry up the good times of
plenty. Glorious time it will be when
apples are as cheap as potatoes when
we can eat our fill of pippins,
and not have to pay ten cents piece
therefor. But in the mean time, let
us not neglect the best substitutes for
trnit that we possess at present and
among these are melons.-Dubuque Far
