penalty should be visited upon Ken
tAcky and Maryland But if the
principle is good against one State,
it is equally good applied to all
Suppose, then, that the States representing
quorum of Congress had been placed in
the same condition as Kentucky and Ma
ryland now are. Their representatives
could not have legally taken their seats.
Nor could the respective States have cleo
ted others, for it is the duty of Congress,
not the States, to make the apportionment,
the Constitution expressly so providing.
There would then be this dilemma The
States could not elect under the old ap-
portionment without violation of the
Constitution. Nor could they themselves
apportion representatives unless in viola
ton of that instrument As a conse-
sequence, Congress could never again
constitutionally assemble. 1t is useless to
say this is an extreme case. 1t is a very
possible case. But extreme cases are the
tests of rules where the rules rO-,,r on
principle. Where a law dos not secure
Its own enforcement IT is the duty of the
Legislature - provide for that enforce
me- ~ by proper legislation. Until it does
so do, it can rightfully hold no person ac-
countable 1t will be time enough to talk
of excluding these States from representa-
ton when they shall have refused to abide
by an apportionment made under the
XIVth amendment But if the argument
is good for anything, it was just as good
the day the amendment was adopted as
now, and the delegations from Kentucky
and Maryland should have instantly been
ousted from their seats, There is no such
law nor logic nor common reason that
would exclude States from representation
guilty of no wrong nor even of neglect.

A citizen just from Natchitoches report:
the following, on information received from
General Mclaughlin, respecting recent out
RACES in that parish:
r. L. Faulkner, Of the Fifth Ward. en-
ployed young man to carry tickets to
Pleasant Hill for distribution. This young
man was met by party of men who pulled
him off his horse, stole his tickets from him,
put rope round his neck and tied him up.
When nearly dead they took him down.
On his refusal to tell from whom he re-
ceived the tickets they hung him up again.
When they let him down a seco1d time he
told them that he got the tickets from Mr..
Faulkner.
That night they visited Faulkner, and
would have killed him but for one of the
party who was less murderous than the
rest.
They beat him nearly to death, and after
rObbng him of everything, left him, went
to Alfred Hazen's house, and made his wife
give up his registration papers and tickets
Because lie would not come out they
were about to burn the house. Mr.. Hazen
told his wife that he knew they would xiii
him anyway, and he preferred 10 give him
self up rather than see his family murdered
before his eyes.
He went out and was Immediately butch
cred. Mr.. Hazen's Only crime was his de-
votion to the Republican party He had been
a minister in the Methodist Church, and
this year had succeeded in raising consid-
cradle crop of cotton. The murdeTers have

bone
1t may be interesting to know the politi
cal status of the majority of the legal fra
ternity of this city, and the more important
from the fact, that limb of the law is
usually supposed be san tat" in all matters
where an opinion is ELECTED upon some
topic.
On Saturday there was calling of cases
in the various District Courts, which pro-
ceeded quietly and in rotation as
customary, until the members of the
"bar' arrived in the Third District
Court, when a asuggestion was made by the
Judge, that it may not be advisable to fix
cases for the twenty-sixth day of November,
that day being, in his opinion, nop-judi-
cial day, by reason of proclamation from
the President Of the United States and the
Governor of the State of Louisiana, setting
apart said day for the service of God, etc.
That being Thanksgiving day, the learned
Judge properly thought that he could not
with propriety compel the attendance of
witnesses in court upon day which, by
superior request, was set apart for the pur-
pose stated, as witnesses might then be
found in church. He called upon the mem
bers of the bar for their opinion upon the
subject.
Member No. 1-old stager; gray-haired;
well spoken: "Now, ii the Court pleases,
the laws of Louisiana specify the days Of
rest, and no authority beyond that law can
enforce a contrary rule. However, the
request not being compulsory, we may, out
of respect to the sources from which the
proelamations emanated, comply with the
same. -a r
Member No. 2-Small, Frenchy, Greedy,
spectacles, stoye-pipe, slightly blushing, to
his credit be 1t said: "Will your honor
please inform me whether the gentleman
issuing the proclamation signs it as or calls
himself Governor Of this State? %
Answer--"Yes, the proclamation issued
from the Governor"
Member-"T Then / move that the court
do not adjourn on that day daughter J
Member No. 3-Innocent, subdued tone
"What have we to be thankful for? For
the election Of Grant? We have nothing
to thank for"
Member No. 4-siI think there is a late
statute compelling your Honor to open
court upon all days excepting those spe.
cially excluded by the Code. Of Practice. !,
