THEY WERE KU-KLUX.

Our near neighbo1 Of the German CO.
seKe occupied its crooked looking type
yesterday in . little indignation against
the REPUBLICAN which might have been
discharged at longer range. The Times
and Picayune, in their evening editions Of
Monday, asserted the mortal wounding Of
two men, and the probable fatal wound
ing of third, in the skrimmage at Mu-
latto Bayou, and the Picayune assumed
that the shooting originated from the
disposition Of certain parties to prevent
man named Wilbank from gathering
shells from his own shell bank. On these
statements the REPUBLICAN founded the
conclusions that this kind of work was
censurable as q sort Of ku-kuxism,
whereby parties, with adverse interests,
resoIted to shot guns and duck shot to
injure innocent parties, contrary to the
spirit and letter of the law, and against
the peace and dignity of the State. 1fno-
body was killed we are glad to report the
fact; but since it is certain that three men
were shot, and that the probable intsn-
ton was to kill, We Go not see
that the transaction is any the less
Objectionable because the assassins shot
healthier men than they thought they did.
That the wounded parties are not dead
is not virtue to be credited to men who
meant to kill them, but to their own TO-
bust constitutions. And since We are not
the authors Of the suggestion that they
were killed, it is clear that We are not the
frst to be blamed, and that the indigna-
ton which was directed at Us should
have been discharged at the Picayune and
Tines. The REPUBLICAN might have
consented to accept a yicochet, because it
gave currency to fact that had no better
for its truth than a hastily
written local report in two evening papers.
As to our reflections upon the subject,
We insist that they were strictly correct,
for when body Of men organize to way
lay and assassinate the owner of a shell |
bank in the pursuit Of his legitimate
rights, they are nothing but Ku-Klux,
md they should be pursued and pun
shed as such.

provisions Of law, for every possible

officers, in awarding fair showing to all

Of their official duty; but while they'do
SO comply they certainly do not deserve

We advise our confreres of the Times to
study little the land laws Of the Cnited
States before attempting to discuss the
action Of the register and receiver. The
Times, in its article of yesterday morning
under the above caption, makes hardly
single correct statement Of law or fact.
It assumes the position Of mentor without
knowledge, and assails honest men with
out shadow Of justification.

TIE ISSUE MADE.

William Il. Tweed, familiarly known
as the Boss of the Tammany Democracy,
has been nominated for the State Senate
from New York city by the Democratic
convention It now remains to be seen
what the result of this curious experiment
will be. Mr.. Tweed is not only accused
by the Republican party, but he is ac-
cused by the chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee with having
committed great frauds. One Of his men,
Keyser, declhres that Tweed paid his bill
against the city Of New York for forty
seven thousand dollars, and then raised
it to four hundred and forty-seven thou
sand dollars, and drew the money. An
other man, Ingersoll, says that Tweed per-
petrated other frauds upon the city in the
same way. Seventy Of the most respect
able citizens of the city, without distinc-
ton of party, declare that this man
Tweed has robbed the corporation Of
millions of dollars, of (which they have the
positive evidence. There can be no
doubt, in the face of this testi-
mony, that Tweed is a swindler,
of the most extraordinary character, and
that the public Of New York know it.
And yet, despite this knowledge, the
Democracy has nominated him as can
didate for the State Senate. And what is
more, the Democrats swear that be shall
be elected by thirty thousand majority,
Notwithstanding that their own. State
central committee has denounced him
and his followers as unit to hold Office.
We submit to the American people if this
square issue between an almost self
convicted public plunderer and the hon
est people of New York is not a most
significant event. If the "scum" of New
York, to use q word which the Bee of this
city applies to the Republican party, can
elect such man as Boss Tweed, noto-
riously dishonest, is it not time to think
Of revising the elective system? It will
be remembered that New York city de- |
feated Henry Clay for the Presidency by |
casting her fraudulent votes against him,
as Slidell did tia Plaquemines vote in |
this State, and We may see the day when
she will have it in herpower to defeat the
will Of the country by another piece of
rascality just as villainous. Are we pre-
pared to see such an abuse Of the elective
franchise?

The memorial on land Office matters
published in yesterdays evening Times
and Picayune, contains so many misstate-
ments that people ought to be cautious
before indorsing it. It has never been
''proved before the register and recorder"
I've suppose receiver was meant instead
of recorder, that the lands in question
had been Tin the uninterrupted possess
sion of the present occupants and those
under whom they claim for one hundred
and thirty-fve years. It is not the fact
that the grounds upon which these lands
are claimed to be entered are that sthe
ancient proprietors have, BY inadvertence.
failed to have their front tract formally
confirmed" Perhaps the authors Of the
memorial might do we'll to reinvestigate
the whole business. If the memorial
should effect re-enactment Of the law of
June O. 1860, it would not accomplish
the desired object. ,-.
From 1904 to 1870, good many people
slept on their rights, if they had any, in
Louisiana. How long, in the name of
patience, should the government wait for
them? Law after law has been passed,
and notice after notice has been given, on
this subject The Supreme Court Of the
United States says that the limitation in
these acts, analogous to prescription, is
founded in wise policy. The parable Of
the foolish virgins is case in point, and
We commend it to the authors of the

CONSPIRACY AGAINST LAND TITLES IN
LOUISIANA.

oe~@ASe eSeo4SSS
LOUISIANA.
There are few things more gratifying to
one who appreciates the value of an in
telligent well informed and outspoken
public press, than vigorous and sensible
newspaper attacks upon official wrong
doors, and the exposure of corrupt schemes
directed against the pockets Of citizens.
Every fair minded man condemns with
hearty condemnation the public print
that prostitutes its high mission, to be-
come at once q public scold and the
bearer of false witness, while assailing the
motives and character of faithful servants
OF the people. The habit of ohjurgation
and the use Of indiscriminate invectives
has become chronic with the Times. If a
man earns salary in Louisiana under the
State or national administration, he is i'm
mediately target for eur contemporary.
and without regard to facts or reason, he
is bound to be soundly abused.
The Tines does not stop to hear more
than one side Of case. It don't care to
investigate. It guesses at law and manu-.
factures allegations to come within the
purview Of its guesses A misstatement
Is considered ''mere matter of detail"
not worthy Of correction. ITO go for"
some one, is its highest idea of its duty
toward its readers.
Par example: Under the above heading
the Times pitches in, after its own sweet
style, into the United States register and
receiver at the land Office in this city for
doing nothing more than the United
States statutes require them to do under
existing circumstances. 1t assails their
motives in doing what their oaths of Office
compel them to do, i. e., comply with the
laws of the United States. They are at
tackled as conspiring with spectators to
wrest property in this State from the
hands a. it, lawful owners. The only
proofs offered 70 support this weighty &C.
cusation are the fact of their appointment
to their positions and the publication Of
notice to claimants, Of certain lands to
come forward and show cause why those.
