guished President that the best way to Sc.
cure the repeal of bad law is to enforce
itstrictly. Carter, following his illustri-
Gus example, took similar grounds in re-
lation to the odious printing law In a
letter to the Picayune, he says he -''de-
termined to use the power given under
this offensive law to enlighten public
opinion and save the State" and so vigor-
ously did he set to work that in very
brief period he had completed some forty
odd printing contracts, at cost of a
quarter million of dollars-a nice round
sum of which went into his own pocket
for constructively printing the laws, etc.,
in supposifious Cameron Times.
How he thus 'tsaved the State is not
clear: but it is lucidly so in comparison
with the enlightenment of public opin-
ion through the medium Of Speaker
Carriers use of this offensive law'-to
move a repeal, of which he confesses he
could not find time during sixty days
session of the Legislature. The combined
circulation of the entire army of ''oficial
organs" he created for enlightening pur-
poses. We verify believe did not reach
five thousand copies, and many of these
so-called newspapers were born with their
contracts and expired with the compile
ton of the job-possibly to be resusci-
tated had not Carriers power to thus rob
the State been suddenly and completely
extinguished.
Governor Warmoth and Lieutenant
Governor Pinchback remorselessly crush
ed these jobs, regardless of political ties,
not even sparing the Lieutenant Govern
ors uncompleted. contract, which was
among the few Legitimate ones in exist
ence. This was practical effort at re-
form, notwithstanding Carters organ at
tempts to ridicule the action by declaring
i" this retrenchment merely nominal" as
the bulk of the jobs had been finished. |
He ignores the fact that it was not the |
fault Of the Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor that they obtained control at so late
a day. They acted reform as soon as the
power to do so vested in them while
Speaker Carter continued his opposi-
ton to reform by refusing his CO.
operation iii effecting such retrench-
ment as was still possible. And now,
through his Customhouse-supporte
sheet, he attempts to further detract from
the efforts Of his co-commissioners by
disappearing their subsequent course.
The law requires that official journals shall
perform the parochial printing, and for
his work, and this only, have contracts
oeen renewed. In making them the active
:eform commissioners did no more than
luty demanded Of them. Nor will they

A QUESTION OF vERACITY.

J. Henri Burch should be careful not to
rend his linen. On the authority of the
experts appointed by the Eighth District
Court to investigate the frauds upon the
State perpetrated by Speaker Carter's
contingent expense committee, We accused
Mr.. Burch of 6 drawing mileage, ETC.; for
committee duty which he could hardly
have performed. This appears to hit
J. H. on the raw, and he rushes into print
with denial more noticeable for vigor
and latitude than elegance Or truth. We
can only say that if the honorable gentle
man, on this point, is not more veracious
than on the others he touches in his card,
the court experts have got the best of
him.
The proprietors of that able organ of
the colored people, the New Orleans
Louisianian, celebrated its first birthday
anniversary on Sunday last with banquet
at the house of Lieutenant Governor
Pinchback. A distinguished company
participated in the festivities and pledged
the paper to heightened career in its
field of usefulness. We sincerely wish
our contemporary continued success and
ever-increasing influence.
There are four millions of colored peo-
pie in the United States, whose right to
vote is questioned by the organ of the
Bourbon Democrats in Kentucky. while
the same paper is demanding An amend
ment to the constitution that will allow q
foreigner to be chosen as President of the
United States. This is the last dodge of
the Tammany spirit to hold its own.
