such considerate, forbearing and sympathetic
words as are in the above extracts, if South
ern community, their lives having become
uncomfortable under the spoliations and OPP
pressions of licensed villainy, were seen to
rise in self-defense and cure that by lynch
law which they had found it impossible co
prevent through the exercise of their Ordinary
functions as citizens? Nowhere nave the So
called rebels in the South--nowhere have the
mythical Ku-Klux even-made threat
against the spurious civil authorities which
have been foisted upon them, so sweeping
and SO revolutionary in its scope as that
which these two Radical papers hurl at the
civil authorities under which their editors and
patrons live, and whose legitimacy and right
fitness of existence are not questioned. And,
besides, they have, as they confess, "the
remedy of the ballot-box"-aremedy OF which
the Southern people have been depriv-
ed, through various Radical devices
for about four years, in order that usur-
patton and organized plumber might do
their sweet will upon them to the utmost.

Somebody writing anonymously in the
Bulletin is getting off the ineffable stupidity of
calling the CRESCENT the " organ Of the coun-
Gil" and of the still greater folly of speaking
of the council as the "masters" of this
journal. After this display of Stiffness and
impertirence, it is not surprising that what
the anonymous writer in question says, by
way of argument on the financial question,
should be neither sensible nor pertinent. If
it possessed either of these qualities we
might leave it to be answered in the editorial
columns of the journal in which it appears.
The whole philosophy of the question is
summed up in the concluding paragraphs OF
the Bulletins article of yesterday morning,
but it is q philosophy which only makes
"More Anon" the more lamentably ridicu-
lOus.

The GREENBAcK AND THE FOURTEENTH
AMENDMENT.

Mr.. Evarts when he appealed, recently De-
fore the Supreme Court, to the fourteenth
constitutional amendment as ratifying all the
legislation under which the public debt was
created, including legal tender, used an argu-
ment that has as sharp an edge for his client,
the government, as for the opposite party In
the litigation. If this amendment declares
in substance that the laws enacted in obe-
dience to imperious exigencies of the war for
be questioned it also denounces repudia-
ton, and insists in effect that every part OF
the public debt thus created shall be paid
according to the explicit and veritable pur-
port of the contract. Now, the legal tender
notes constitute q material portion of the
debt a portion which was considered by Mr..
Chase and the other authors of tho green
lack issue indispensable to the very existence
of the government. And what is the purport
of the contract on the face of these notes?
Why, that the government will pay
them whenever presented at the trea-
sury for, collection. Therefore, when
Mr.. Evarts argues in favor of the govern
ment forcing these notes at a heavy
depreciation upon the people, while refusing
for an indefinite period to make any pro-
vision for their payment, he certainly does
advocate species of reputation and an eva
sion of the plain obligation of the contract
expressed by the legal tender notes. Thus the
legal representative of the government is the
first to impugn the terms of the financial
clause of the fourteenth amendment If Mr..
Evarts were full-blooded Radical, his con-
duct in impugning and invoking the Constitu-
ton at the same time would be perfectly con-
sistent in inconsistency; for this is precisely
what all the Radicals have been doing for
about eight years. But as he processes to be
SO conservative as to border closely on john
sonian Democracy, his double-edged argu-
ment in this case hardly fits well with his ap-
parent position.

The Board Of Aldermen last night passed
The resolutions prohibiting the receiving of
city money for taxesafter the first of January.
It now remains for the mayor to sign them,
and we shall be on the eve Of escape from our
financial perplexities. We congratulate the
community on this suspicious action, and we
trust that no factious opposition will be made
TO the contamination of the object of the res
olutions, 1t has been limited, in some quar-
tiers, that legal opposition will be made by
persons who are afflicted with the notion that
they are entitled to preference over others of
the city's creditors-for the attempt to force
the city 70 receive these obligations in pay
ment of iaxes, at par, is the same thing as
giving preference to those who are thus ia
vored over other note holders who, although
city notes are payable on demand, cannot get
a cent from the city in payment of them. We
do not believe that an effort to litigate this
question win have any other effect than to
prove disastrous, in the end, to the note hold
ers. If il would be satisfaction to them to
embarrass the city government for a time,
they may probably enjoy that pleasure but
they viii certainly not improve the disposition
OF the people to submit to heavy burdens for
their sake in future. There is no desire now
to questien.t the validity Of the city notes, or
the obligation resting on the city to provide
for their payment and it would be wise and
safe course, on the part of the note holders,
not to raise any such issue

The Republican advises Gov. Warmoth
TO regard as vacant the offices OF such
Judges as be may consider disqualified under
the fourteenth amendment, and to appoint
others in their places. 1t is true that the
Republican, considers Governor Warmoth's
right to ta;Se this course to result from the
failure of these judges to file declaration of
their qualifications, under the amendment
as required by the State law, but
the State Jaw being only an act of the
Legislature cannot affect OF modify the rights
of officers chosen under the Constitution,
and whose qualifications are fixed by the Con-
stitution. If these offices are vacant now
they have teen vacant from the beginning,
if we admit the soundness of the theory that
the elected officers could not take their places
without complying with the State law In
question. But that theory makes the priaa
faeie inelig,bility depend, not on the four
teenth anne hdment, but on the neglect to file the
declaration referred to- 1t is clear, however, that
the governor did not regard this omission as IA
tal as he issued commissions to the officers in
question, and has made no attempt since to
take action under the law. The rest OF the
Republican, article, which assumes that these
offices are vacant through the operation of
Judge Underwood's decision in the Virginia
case, must have been intended as joke. The
Republican knows very well that Judge Un-
derwoods opinion has no force in Louisiana,
and that even as to Virginia, it is subject to
the revision of the Supreme Court. The ter
rible consequences which the Republican de-
picts as likely to flow from the maintenance
Of the existing status in spite of Underwood's
decision, ought to inspire doubt as to the cor
rectness Of that decision. Any course that
would have the effect of multiplying judgments,
of opening the doors of penitentiaries and
prisons, end of unsettling the relations of
debtor and creditor must be contrary to at
least some of the well-established principles
of law. The welfare of society and the
protection of the rights of person and
property are of far more importance
than the election from Office of an hypotheti-
cally ineligible Judge Apart from all this,
Underwoods decision is absurd on its face.
The officers whose places he attempts so sum-
narily 70 vacate, were in Office at the time
when the fourteenth amendment is supposed
to have been adopted. They were certainly
eligible tlfsn, and they remain qualified, be-
cause it WIS not the intention of the amend
naent to operate upon incumbents by shorten
ing their term of Office. But even if they
become disqualified by the ratification of the
amendment, the disqualification dates only
from that time, and hence, judicial acts pre-
yiously done are not affected. Furthermore,
even if IN officer had been ineligible from the
beginning, his official acts, done under the
authority of law, are as valid as if he had been
perfectly qualified. This point is so clear
and SO well settled that it is almost super
fuous to Insist upon it.

Evening fOSt says
There 10 something rotten, when an ordinarily
peaceable community takes the law into its own
hands and it becomes the statesman to examine
where the fault lies. Good men must have suf.
fered long and grievously before they have uu-
dertaken, themselves. to perform summary
Justice.
In what can such evils, constantly growing,
end, except in lynch law? Americans are noto-
riousy long suffering, but their pstience has an
end there are bounds to their endurance of in.
justice and wrong Is ii not better for the citizens
Of New York to take the trouble, and now to rec.
tify the abuses which have. grown about them.
than to live on in careless ease, until the day
when their lives become uncomfortable. and they
are Obliged, or think themselves obliged, to rise
in self defense. and cure that by lynch law which
they ought to prevent by attention to their duties
as citizens!
The Tribune also cordially condones and
applauds the same species of lawlessness,

A horde of banditti, such as have given g sad
notoriety to Oneida county in our own State, APP

wrested the machinery Of the courts to their fell
purposes. They have not been content with using

brute violence was their only resource.

LATITUDE ALTERS CASES.

The New York papers have good deal to
say about lynch law in Indiana. 1t is won-
derful to observe in their comments what
vast moral difference is worked by the mere
difference of latitude. Radical editors who
have denounced Southerners as barbarians
and outlaws, and invoked upon their heads
the blacklist horrors of military execution for
acts of self-preservation against uncomfortable
wrongs-acts infinitely less cold blooded and
defiant of the law and its administrators than
the Jail murders, ten in all, which have taken
place in Indiana, speak of these deeds in Ian
guage which plainly approves, while it pro-
fesses to deplore them. For example, the
