people have no voice in making the laws,
they can only be changed, when they be
GENE intOlerably bad, by successful resist
ance-that is, by revolution. In repub-
lie revolution, other than peaceful one
through the hallot-hox. is never iustlhable.
Elections are frequent, and ii law is re-
ally unjust, or is found to be detrimental to
the public veal, it is certain to be sooner or
later abrogated. II can not long remain
in opposition to the will of the majority, be-
cause the majority make the laws.
But suppose that by some strange med
ley and upheaval of the political elements
the minority should in particular in
stance frame the laws? In free re
public, and in time Of peace, this is an
impossible superstition. 1t is so only in a
revolution, or in a state of anarchy or semi
anarchy, which is necessarily temporary
the normal is certain to rise superior to
the abnormal, and to overpower it.
This principle of resistance to laws that
are not liked is the fatal upas that has cast
blight upon everything within its
reach in Mexico and the republics of
South America. 1t Is cursing the IN
to-day with the dire curses of bar
barism, desolation, endless strife, and
death. 1t has covered them with the pail
of mourning. 1t has imbruted their inhab-
itants. 1t has almost bereft them of the
attributes of civilized manhood.
We met a one-armed Mexican officer
some time ago, and heinformed US that in a
desperate encounter be had with the enc
my on a certain occasion he was sur
rounded, but cutting his way through he
effected his escape, when the enemy seized
his wife and cut off her breasts
God forbid that this fatal principle of
resistance to laws that are not liked shall
ever obtain any considerable ascendancy
over the minds of the people of this coun-
try. The Republic can not survive that

nPEAnRn IN MISSISSIPPI

The above sensation heading appeared
in yesterdays Picayune over an article
claiming to come from reliable CORE
spondent, giving an account of difficulty
which is said to have occurred at Demo
cratic meeting in Hammond, Mississippi, of
which the following is an extract;
HAMMOND, Miss, August l3.-There was a
man named Stephen burden, worthy, re.
liable negro shot in this place last night.
He gave out some time since that he would
make Democratic speech, and his life was
to the negroes, and shortly afterward was
shot, eleven buckshot being lodged in his
body, and he will probably die.
The correspondent also says another
murder was committed at Tickfaw, Miss,
on the same day. If man does not know
where he is writing from, it is not very
likely be knows precisely what he is writ
ing about. Hammond is not in Mississippi;
neither is Tickfaw Station. Both places
are in Livingston parish, La, and not
within forty miles of Mississippi.
A colored man was killed at Hammond
during the progress of a pro-rebel so-called
Democratic meeting, but that man was a
Republican, not Democrat. He was killed
by rebel white men for expressing loyal
sentiments, not loyal colored men while
spouting rebelIious doctrines, as stated by
the reliable gentleman of the PicaWne
As for the Tiekfaw affair, that was also a
Union man slaughtered by rebels.

ooLoRED MEN AND THE STEAMBOATS,.

The officers Of the steamboat General
Quitman, Captain feathers, last evening
discharged all the colored men OF the boat
who were not members of some Demo
cratic club, and these officers declare that
they will not hereafter employ any freed
man who can not produce certificate that
he is an active member of some club. 1t
is understood that the officers of Red river
boats intend pursuing similar course.
Those who sow the wind may expect to
"reap the whirlwind," and perhaps these
steamboatmen will yet learn that proscrip-
ton for opinions sake is a game that two
can play at.

We made remark day or two since to
the effect that Governor Seymour's father
had taken his own life in fit of insanity,
and added that certain freaks in the life of
the son make it possible that insanity might
be hereditary in the family. We did not
at the moment really suppose this to
be the case, but the New York
E0ening Post has an article on the sub
ject which may well stsrtie those who are
intending to vote for him. The Post, as
our readers know, is no sensational Journal,
but most careful, discreet, and dispassioR-
ate exponent Of the views and feelings Of
The more enlightened and refined portions
Of New York society. 1t declares that Mr..
Seymour has himself again and again
aVOwed his hereditary predisposition
TO insanity as a reason why he
could not entertain thought of the nomin-
alton to the Presidency. He frankly
stated to members of the New York dele.
CATION who wished to press bis name in the
late convention, including Messrs. Church
and Tilden, the same cause for his positive
refusal. The Post describes Mr.. Seymour's
emphatic declination on the last day Of the
convention, his reference to the dictates OF
his honor, and his declaration that his &C
eeptance would imperil bis party and him
sell.
These facts. says the Boston Advertiser,
ought not to be concealed. The Demo
cratic masses themselves ought to know
the facts. No ordinary motive could in
duce the EOening Post to touch npon the
sacred fears and private misfortunes of a
respectable citizen. but when the American
people are asked to make that citizen their
ruler, his private infrmities become public
daDgers-the solemn terriers of bis closet be-
come the peril of the nation"

So many complaints having been made to this

grieved by such assessment may appeal and have the
same corrected if found incorrect" (See Revised

Section 81. Any person oonceiving. himself ag-
