ON CARONDELET STREET,

How It has come about is of no conse.
q1ence, but the fact is, that the bears con.
troll the street. They have everything a.
their mercy. No one opposes theiI
slightest wish. They bear their honors
meekly, but no one dares say them nay.
One by one stalw.art opponents have quiet
ly subsidized, until the field is entirely clear.
and naught remains but to count and inter
the vanquished. No one seems greatly
elated, and no one seems particularly de-
pressed by the present condition of affairs;
but II some purses are not lighter by this
weeks operations, there can be no utility
in modern financiering. Fancy stocks are
fiat, and If there is an English word that
could more clearly and decidedly express
the horizontal attitude of these "securi-
ties" we would use it.

THE NEW CITY ATTORNEY.

The vacancy occasioned by the resigna.
ton of j. R. Beckwith, City Attorney, has
been well filled by the appointment of the
eminentand well-known counsellor, George
S. Lacey, Esq. This selection has been
received with many expressions of ap-
proval from our citizens, who have known
and admired Mr.. Lacey for many years.
AS a lawyer he stands in the very front
rank Of the bar of this city, and has no
superior and scarcely an equal as a fin
ished speaker. Beside his undoubted pro-
fessional attainments, he is gentleman
highly esteemed in private life for his
many good social qualities.
MIR. Beckwith, the retiring attorney, has
discharged the onerous duties devolving
upon him with great ability and fidelity.
He has had no sinecure, and there are
many people who deeply regretted his de-

THE FIRST DISTRICT COURT.

A good deal of commentary was
elected yesterday by our article on
the release of prisoners by the First
District Court, on account of the
enactment of Rays Revised Statutes;
our views being generally sustained by
the bar. The very fact that they are
termed Revised Statutes, would be enough,
independent of the enac ing clause, to
show that provisions of criminal statutes
repeated word for word, have never for a
moment ceased to be The law since their
first enactment. Even were it possible
that this view be wrong, the proceeding
for the release of persons accused of
crime should not have come from the
District Attorney. In any disputed
point he should take The side
OF the State. The State certainly. has a
show OF reason for its side of the case.
We hope hereafter the Distric5 Attorney,
as well as the Attorney General, will re-
slst any further move in the direction
which has been SO unwisely taken. Ger
tainly, such a proposition as a release of
prisoners on the grounds assumed, could
only be expected to be entertained on a
proceeding by habeas corpus taken by de.
PENDANTS counsel. The public have a
right to expect that such proceeding
should not come by a MOLE proSequi from
the prosscutinp officer.

FRENCH PROGRESS,

The irreconcilables of France are driver
to their wits end to find bone of conten
ton. The present dynasty is giving The
people freedom to an extent they have
not enjoyed since the days of the republic
and yet these intracticables are not satisfied
They clamored for a constitutional govern.
ment; freedom of the press, and the
right of public meeting, and these privi-
leges and rights have been successfully
accorded to them. What next do they
want? Nothing less than republic, and
this the Emperor can not reasonably be
expected 10 give them, and if he did, j.
| would prove anything but boon to men,
| who, go far, have shown themselves I'M
worthy of the freedom already extended
to them. Let them first show themselves
capable Of enjoying present privileges be-
fore they ask for more; let them show that
they can live withou. committing excuses
under the new and enlarged condition Of
political life opened up to them. When
they shall have done this, it will be time
enough to talk about having republic.
The secret is that their vitality lies in
their opposition to the established order
OF things, no matter what that may be.
Opposition to government is popular. It
is much easier to attack than to defend
In the Corps Legislatif the irreconcilables
may throw mud at the Ministers Of the
government with impunity, but the latter
are obliged to respond in terms betting
their position and the dignity of the gov
eminent. Unbridled license characterize
the one, and official reserve and modeIa-
ton the other. An irreconcilable may
arraign Minister as scoundrcl, but the
latter may not call his accuser, in return,
knave; ministerial dignity forbids it.
Thus, before the groundlings the delegate
OF the people has the handsome role.
Humanity in general, and in France tn
particular, sides with the Individual as
against the government, and whenever be |
In making point against it, he
may pretty safely count on the SYM
pathetic admiration of his fellow-crea- |
lures.
But the Emperor has taken nearly all of
he wind ont of the sails of these irrespon.
'ible privateers, by giving all the privileges
necessary at present to the welfare and
happiness of the French people, and by
to them directly by proclamation
nd plebiscitum, to learn if they sanction
be changes that have already been inau-
urated. 1t is anticipated that the nation
MI respond as with one voice, yes"
The other day, Gambetta, one of the
lost irrepressible OF the irreconcilables.
penly argued in the Corps Legislatif, be-
re the Ministers of the Crown, in favor
republic, and he was all owed to COM
iete his argument without interruption.
That more liberty can any one ask for
ian this It is doubtful if q member of
ongress Of the United States would be
lowed TO argue on the floor of the Cham
or in favor of monarchy without being
'eedily interrupted by the fall <of the

LiseDehAs- ,.osfation by
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-05-08

Our worthy State Superintendent, as has
doubtless been noticed by our readers in
| his speech at the Normal Institute, on
Friday, complains bitterly of misrepre-
sentation in being called old The pre-.
JUDGES of teachers, or those who had mis-.
described him to them, had caused him to
be pictured to their imaginations as DOS
sessing an unbearable degree of senility.
The Superintendent triumphantly vindi-
Gated himself to the assembled teachers.
and even called their attention in his re-
marks to the visible fact that he was not
yet old.
So tar as the fact is concerned, the State
Superintendent, we think, was perfectly
right; and we are glad be restrained hirr-
self from exuberantly claiming youth with
lis golden pleasures, hopes and fancies as
still bis own. Mr.. Conway is getting
along in years. To use an expressive
smile, he is no chicken, and although he
is perfectly right in Indignantly putting
an end to the aspersions of those who
would call him old. we fail to see the i'm
portance Of the matter whatever may have
been said about it. Old age is honorable:
in school matters it is even an advantage,
and perhaps with the great difficulties
which surrounds the school administra-
ton in these troublous times, its ripe ex-
peIience would be rather an advantage
than otherwise. May our worthy. popular
and good looking State Superintendent
i've to see many advancing years, and take :
heir stealthy and sure advance with phil
)sophy and contentment.
