TIE CITY TAX SUITS CASE,

Judge Cooley yesterday rendered hi:
decision in the case Of Lynne and Fer
maid vs.. j. S. Walton, praying for a
mandanus 70 require the Administrator
OF Finance to file the suits for city taxes
IN the Fourth and Eighth District Courts.
The learned judge reviewed the law and
the case at some length, and ordered the
mandamus to be issued. This decision
sustains the position taken By the Re-
PUBLICAN in a review Of another de-
cision by the same Judge, wherein judy
ment went almost byedefaalt. Had the
city been properly represented in the
first instance there would have been no
necessity for a second contest. And now
the administrator has nothing to do but
send down and file his suits. The city is
saved the cost OF another publication in
the official journal, for which We expect
the Times will rejoice with US. We have
to thank Judge Thomas, the able counsel
employed by the REALTORS, for bringing
this question fairly before the court, by
which over $1,000 is saved to the tax-
payers.

THE PEACEFULNEss OF ROME.

The Romans have Just furnished
another evidence of their ability to oct
along smoothly with their own GOVERN
ment in their own hands The first
anniversary of the entry of the Italian
troops into the eternal city occurred on
last Wednesday, and though every effort
was made to create an excitement at the
celebration which took place that day.
the event passed off with the happiest
success. Both the disconnected priests
and the still more disconnected red re-.
publicaps bethought to stir up disorder,
which they hoped would produce some
result unfavorable to the existing order
OF affairs; but the people maintained
thelr decorum throughout the day, and
promptly frowned down every attempted
disorder that the imported malconteuts
SET on foot. If an attack could have
oeen organized against the quarters as
s'ene1 to the pope, it would have been
se'zeo upon as an evidence that inter-
.e.ence was needed from France or Aus
. .,'~' out as the Romans kept the peace
themselves and enjoyed their civil lib.

done on such occasions, the mote ~
restraining them ought to be dismissed %

SOMETHING DECISIVE.

The Southeastern, Of Shreveport, rather
sours against US on our ''social tyranny
suggestions. 1t says that no Northern
man, with legitimate business, feels any
kind Of social ostracism in Louisiana.
This is just what the row is about. What
is Legitimate business?" There are ten
thousand people in Shreveport. The gov
eminent Of the city is a legitimate bust
ness, perhaps. A Northern man settles
IN the town, and majority Of the people
elect him to Office because he promises to
deal justly toward them, though their
color is different from his own. He says
this is Republicanism, and that he is q
Republican. He beats q man who has
been there longer than he has, but who
has less interest in the town, perhaps,
than he has. The latter is Democrat.
VIII the Southeastern come down to a dead
issue, and say to rs that the Republican
VINO was elected by negro votes, although
he may be a religious man and one of fair
reputation and worldly means, will be
accepted in shreveporton the same social
terms as the defeated Democrat, who was
an atheist and gambler? This is bring
ing the question to a square issue. 1t
avoids all confusion and demands fair
and independent answer.

AN IMPORTANT INQUIRY.

The Bulletin discusses at length the
beauties Of impersonal journalism, and
satisfies itself tia: the highest duty Of an
editor is to reflect the public conscience,
or rather to be the factor of truth and JUS
tee without any limitation or reservation
as to his enemies or his partialities. So
far so good. Now. since the B,a,et;n has
said great many harsh things about
Governor Warmoth, will it please say
something good in the same direction.
The public conscience demands that a
man shall have his credits as we'll as his
debts acknowledged: and truth solicts ut
terance on both sides with equal force. Is
the Bulletin prepared to be thus imper-
sonal?

THE GOVERNOR AND MR.. PACKARD,

| Quite an excitement in small way was
created in political circles few DAYS
ago by rumor that Governor Warmoth
had called upon Mr.. Packard with propo-
sitions for a compromise. There is no
truth in the rumor. Governor Warmoth.

to the Customhouse building to see

the Governor was transactirg lis bust
ness with Mr.. Grant, General Sheridan.

since his Sheridan 81 return from Europe
stepped into the Marshals room 10 shake
hands with him. The Governor, having
finished his business with the Commits
sioner, and having waited some time for
Sheridan's return, also stepped into Mr..
Packard's Office after him. Governor
Warmoth greeted Mr.. Packard and Lieu
tenant Governor Dunn (who was also
presently pleasantly, and was as plea
sanity greeted in return. The converse
ton between Mr.. Packard and the Gov
ernor looked to anything but compro-
mise. Mr.. Packard said: "Governor.
when it is known that you have been
bere, people will swear you came to buy
me-"
The Governor replied Il have no
doubt OF it, for everybody knows you are
for sale. Still, l don't think we can come
to terms, for your estimate of yourself is
enormously out of proportion to your
real value
Much conversation of the same spicy
nature took place but nothing to war
rant one one in supposing that either
gentleman was trying to make trade.
The Governor has nothing to compro-
mise. Strong with the people of this
State, and firm in the conviction that he
has acted for the best interests Of the |
whole people, he has nothing to fear
from the Customhouse CLIQUE.

A NEW ARRAIGNMENT,

The Times now comes forward with &
new count against Sheriff Oliver, of AS
cension parish. There is no evidence O,
the truth Of the charges, and they may o,
may not stand tie test Of judicial investi.
cation. The new accusation is to this
| effect:
| That Oliver, as Sheriff, dragged poor
hand-cutted negro. under a charge of muir
! der for killing the man who dishonOred Lis
wife, to the gallOws to witness the execu-
ton Of three convicted murderers, and
pointed out the affrighted wretch TO an ex-
| cited aesemblage Of negroes present. ard in
loud and menacing tones told hum that a
like fate awaited him.
All this may be as stated, but it will be
an exception to the general rule if there
is not another side to the case. But our
informant declares there is not a sugges-
ton of doubt as to the facts. They stand
confessed"
Without stopping to try this course, as
it has no relation to any supposed defense
Of Oliver that has appeared in the Re-
PUBLICAN, We may naturally inquire what
it all has to do with the ignorant and er-
roneous assertion that Governor Warmoth
appointed Oliver to Office, when the better
informed part of the community know that
he was elected by the people? And, again,
how can divers conduct at the recent exc
cution in Ascension, whether oficerlike or
otherwise humane. or brutal, affect his
rights and interest in the case which was
disposed Of by Jefferson. parish jury last
spring? If Oliver maltreated his prisoner
in September, shall he hanged on charge
of which be has been acquitted? Orif he
turns out to be as bad man as his enc
mics would make Us believe he is, shall
Governor Warmoth be censured because
the people elected him sheriff? Or shall
the Governor be blamed for ordering the
release of an acquitted prisoner, if the ac-
cused even afterward commits an oftense?
When these questions have been an
swered it will be in order to hear the testi- |
mony in regard to the alleged i'll treat
nent Of the prisoner charged with muir
der. But such such matters ought not to
be mixed up. They have no connection
with each other, and the fact that Sheriff
Oliver was guilty Of brutal and cowardly
conduct toward a prisoner on the sixteenth
