that her victim treated her wrongfully.
but she can not say that their mutual
crime was a just cause for her proposition
to carry her crime still further by
causing a separation between man and
wife. Her example in this matter, if
successful, would prove most pernicious
to society, and therefore it becomes pub
lie duty for the press to condemn her
illicit conduct with married man, par
ticularly after she was informed that he
had wife. Her s.soul-love" doctrine is a
species of free-loveism that has found adj
vocates in the world, but which is de-
nounced with ali the other sisms" that
have seized upon women who could not
content themselves with playing the part
that most becomes a woman.
1t is unpleasant to write even of one
$50 fair and yet so frail' in harsh terms;
but when double crime has been COM
mitted, and quite a number of persons
are found who openly sympathize with it,
and attempt to excuse it at the expense of
the public morals, it is hut right that the
press throughout the land denounce it as
most baneful to society, and call for pun
ishment.

passed ~ remodeling the charter of
the city of Shreveport after the plan
adopted with success in New Orleans
In doing this the Legislature abolished
the old charter entirely, which it had q
perfect right to do, having created it, and
substituted new model and new set of
officers. The Governor, acting under this
statute, appointed some of the best men
in Ceddo parish as administrators of the
city of Shreveport. He did not hunt up
red-hot Democrats, it is true, but he
searched out responsible citizens, without
inquiring particularly into their politics.
Some Republicans are on the list but
they are gentlemen of ability and stand
ing, and will no doubt make capable and
honest officers.
This is what has stirred Shreveport into
an unhealthy perspiration. She regrets
the interference of the law. She disdains
to be handled by Republicans. And in
this madness she has resolved to proceed
with her local government under charter
that has been abolished, and with officers
that have no foundation for their commits
sions. Her appeal is to be made to the
courts. An Illegal and irresponsible body
of men, assuming and usurping the func-
tons of government, are preparing to de-
mand of the law that they be recognized
as superior to the sovereign authority of
the State! In the face of all the instances
and presidents that fill the Judgment
docket OF the Supreme Court, Shreveport
is preparing to enter into that costly and
annoying contest wherein the subject seeks
to paralyze the will of the sovereign
This fight has been made at diff
ferent times by New Orleans, the
City of Jefferson, and Carrollton, and
in every instance the law has been up
held. The Legislature has an absolute
right to annul the charter of city which
it has incorporated. It has the still fur
Their right to make new charter and to
yeincorporate the community with NUM-
cipal powers. These several points have
been afirmatively settled The courts
have decided the case for Shreveport in
advance. And yet that uproarious village
is too stubborn in its lawlessness to &C.
cept with grace what will now be forced |
upon her at the suggestion of the judi
ciary. And if she has to pay heavy bill |
of costs, and if her interests suffer in an |
hundred ways, let her blame first, the
Democracy, and, secondly, the too anxious
gentlemen who have consented to hold on
to their abolished offices because they did
not know who their legitimate successors
were. Any excuse will serve Democrat
for keeping his position.

SHREVEPORT,

Shreveport is in a sweat, and it is to be
feared she will catch cold when the chill
comes on, as it inevitably will There is
only one thing that Shreveport detests
more than she does a Republican, and
that is the law. She is just what we
said OF her months ago, the absolute
legatee of all that lawlessness and selfish
ness which was bequeathed by the re-
bellion. Her demand all the time is to
be let alone, as if the State could afford
to let any community exist in its midst
that refuses to be governed by any rules
What cast Shreveport into trouble was
the appearance of the REPUBLICAN in that
uproarious corporation last Tuesday
morning, with list of appointments by
the Governor to the government of that
city. The Legislature at its last session

If Grant had said the word, there
would have been an amnesty bill upon
the statute books, and then we should
have had peace indeed. AS he did not
say the word, he is the great head of the
Ku-Klux Khan, because his refusal to
recommend amnesty is the source of
trouble. So says the Mobile Reqister.
Perhaps Colonel Forsyth did not analyze
his proposition properly before he COM
United it to print, as it is hardly to be pre-
sumed that he intended to admit the ex-
istence of such deviltry in the South as
the force bill suggests. And yet this is
just what he does, because the logic of
his editorial is to the effect that Grants
refusal to recommend amnesty mas re-
suited in producing the disorderly khan,
of which he is denominated as the
chief. This being conceded, that
the Ku-Klux are alive and wor-
thy of extirpation, what becomes
of the other part of the proposition that
the refusal to pass an amnesty law is the
cause of the evil? Is it true that liberal
action by Congress would have produced
peaceful relations in the South Is the
Ku-Klux Khan fighting for order and
brotherly love? All these assumptions
emanate from the Mobile Register as the
natural corrollaries of its assertion that
because General Grant did not recon-
mend and obtain general amnesty,
therefore he is the head of the Ku-Klux
Klan which is doing all the deviltry 1t
is only important to keep this in view be- |
cause the admission of the Register is i'm
rortant evidence in favor of the Ku-Klux |
bill. If the khan is at work it is import
ant that the law should suppress it; if the
klan is not in operation how can General
Grant be fairly denounced as its head
centre?

A member of the high commission, who
was in conversation the other day with
young lady, remarked he had seen some
very fine looking ladies in this country, but
failed to see any good looking gentlemen.
The young lady inquired if there were any
good looking gentlemen in England. "Oh,
yes" he replied, "very fine" 90 Well, them"
said the young lady, q it is wonder they
did not send out some on the high commits
sion."

carry conviction

As the first step toward overthrowing
the State, usurping all power and estab-
fishing military dictatorship, the proc
lamation of the President requesting all
the people to keep the peace and preserve
the p ublic order in their own interest, is
not very violent and savage attack. It
is really quite Quaker-like assault upon
our liberties. But, perhaps, the Demo-
cratic party is like some wives that have
to be knocked down and cuffed before
they will consent to be decent. The
President probably has dose in store for
this sort of folk.

There is an easy way for the Democ-
racy of Kentucky to prove that it intends
to do equal justice to all men. Let it at
once allow the negro to testify in court
against the white man who abuses him.
This will settle one point, at least, and 60
further to establish justice than a whole
field of platforms. Often the negro is
assailed when no witness is present to
testify but himself. And yet because his
color is black, and that of his assailant is
white, he is left without protection.
While this injustice lasts, men may talk
till the judgment day, but they can not
carry conviction.

After the New York Legislature ad-
Journed, the annual supply bill, which is
like our general appropriation law, was
amended by the clerks so as to include
many items that had never passed the
General Assembly. This fact is notorious,
and is not disputed. 1t is defended on
the ground that these additions were
overlooked and were necessary. AS this
was done by the Democracy it is not
paraded about the country as the wicked
thing it would have been if the like event
had occurred in Louisiana And vet we
do not see why it is not just as bad in
New York to force a law as it is in Lou
isiana. Are we singular in this respect?
