ton Of the Republican party in this State,
that very moment they meddled with mat
tiers that they should have left alone.
Officers appointed from Washington, as
rule, are not presumed to understand the
minutie Of State politics sufficiently well
to manage them, and since the success of
local election insures that of general
election, the inference is that the resident
ought to be trusted to direct what he is
more interested in than the stranger. The
Customhouse meddled when it sought to
manage the party, and this must be the
report of the committee, or else the testi-
mony of Marshal Packard must be refused
its proper share of credit. As to the CO.
alition that was formed between the Gus
tomhouse factionists and the Democracy,
no man can get around the conclusion that
the former were openly cheated and were
intended to be abused, and that they did
not have the sense to seeit
The difficulties about the State govern
! ment were and are such as to account for
much of the mal-administration. The re-
fusal of the white people to act reasonably
or fairly with the negroes has brought its
own punishment by. putting many bad
men in Office, and by creating such dis
trust between the races that it is to be
feared this evil will be repeated hereafter.
This misfortune is not to be charged to
the Republican party, but to the preju-
dces of the Democrats. When they con-
sent to do justice, then they may expect
to merit justice All good citizens suffer
from this state of affairs; but since justice
is of greater value than money, it will be
appreciated that Judge Dibble only spoke
common sentiment when he preferred
bankruptcy to a return to the evils that
the Democracy would inhict upon the
State. For the latter calamity would surely
bring bankruptcy with it.
The arbitrary legislation that exists is
the outgroWth of necessity. The Dem
ocrats would not tolerate Republicans in
the exercise of their rights, and strong
laws had to be framed to restrain tur-
bulence and oppression. The end and the
result both have justified the means, and,
therefore, the committee will have to re-
port that it found a strong government in
Louisiana, which was created for the pur-
pose of REFRESHING strong evils.
Many matters of an unpleasant nature
have been brought to light, but since all
oroanized societies are complaining of
these things, We suppose Louisiana will
have to bear her share Of them. We shall
improve upon the past in the future, for
the schoolmaster is abroad in the State,
and his suggestions will improve the igno-
rant to that extent, in the course of time,
that he will command respect in spite of
his color Or poverty by virtue Of his intel
ligenct.

AN INSIDIOUS APPEAL.

The PicayU,e appears determined to
distinguish itself in some way. If the
wisdom of its councils are not appreciated
perhaps the violence of its SUGGESTIONS
may be more successful. 1t says:
Let us have still another triumph of law
and order in New Orleans by passing
through our present humiliating trials with
out the occurrence of mob violence. The
patience of this city and State has been put
to a severe test, but We can yet try the last
remedy on the peace catalogue.
What is meant by this insidious appeal?
Is it trying to infame tie passions of the
mob, and to stir them up to some act of
violence? What other motive can die
tate such language?
The assumption that the Legislature
has refused to adopt reformatory measures
is an unjust assumption. The Legisla-
ture has done nothing of the sort. 1t may
have declined obeying the behests OF the
Committee of Fifty-one, self-appointed citi-
zens. and refuse to bow subsequently to
their requirements. Why should they !?
These self-elected, self-constituted judges
Of reformatory legislation age the repre-

PAY DAY.

No man or nation has ever yet thriven
by injustice. The day of retribution may
be delayed by force or put off by craft,
| but sooner or later it comes, and, as a
rule, the longer it is postponed the heavier
| will be it's reckoning This is not only
the teaching of history, but is within the
| observation of every man who walks
| through the world with his moral eyes open.
1t is only the fool who says in his heart
there is no God" All the old empires
built by the sword, persisted by the sword.
Spain, in driving ont from her borders
the Jews and the Mohammedans, drove
out at the same time wealth, and progress
and civilization. The royalty and arts
tocracy of France reyeled for centuries on
the sweat and the blood Of the poor; recog-
nizing in the peasant no right which the
noble was bound to respect. But the
revolution came and swept royalty and
aristocracy from the face of the country
And afterward, when her great hero made
and unmade kings and threatened to sub
due the whole continent to his control,
despising right and trampling justice IN
der foot, he too had to learn that things
refuse to be mismanaged long, and that
this is world i'll which God rules. Nor
need we 90 to remote times or distant
clirnes to learn the same great lesson, when
here, in our own times and our land, We
have seen that giant wrong slavery, at one
time lording it over the whole land, and
then destroyed as by a whirlwind. And
this introduces the subject We had in
mind in beginning this article, namely,
the retribution day which is now approach
ing for England.
During our time Of trouble when D re-
gard for her own character and traditions
should have induced her to aid us; when q
regard for the mere letter of the law of
nations should have warned her to keep
her hands off, what did she do? Blinded
to the signs Of the times, forgetftll Of the
lessons Of history, ignoring the existence
OF an overriding Providence, whose decree
from before the foundation Of the world
We're laid, had ordained the ultimate
triumph OF right, she threw the weight of
her influence on the side of our paracidal.
NOT openl y-oh, no I! She left as she
thought loophole Of escape; an interpre-
tation by which her course might be de-
Tended. Nevertheless, so fagrantly wrong
mad been her conduct, that the minded
men who represented her in the treaty of
Washington felt compelled by sense of
justice to make concessions fully satisfac-
tory to as. These she would now eyade.
Shs has reconsidered the matter and does
not understand the treaty as We do; bat
some Of her best minds agree with US in the

A OUACK DOCTOR.

Jonah gourd was a reasonable plant
to the vine that was terminated out of the
Investment which the mercantile guild
made in the purchase of the Picnyeroe.
''Get yet your shirts at LeightOns;" "buy
your soothing syrup Of Mrs. Winslow;'
take ticket in the Louisiana Lottery, y
are legends that are to be supplemented
by new one-'raise your dander with
the peoples paper" The PicapWe has
entered upon the job of disturbing the
community, as an Attakapas bull would
go about a similar enterprise, by elevating
its trisky tail, kicking up its heels, put
ting down its head, rolling its eyes and
rushing at things helter-skelter. The
design is to plague the city with chatter,
whatever the result may be. Commotion
is to be the order of the day. regardless of
the fearful reaction which always follows
after such unwarranted excitements
Earnest men do not engage in great enter
prises in this way. Thoughtful people re-
frain from provoking storms because they
know that the elements are more danger
Gus and destructive to the common pros
perity than the evils which they attempt
to cure. This philosophy is not under
stood by the "organ of the people" Its
remedy is that of the loon who tears the
bed clothes into tatters batters the chairs
to smithereens, and dashes his own head
against the solid door-post. 1t will have
10 reform but such as violence can manu-
facture. Usurping the rights of the peo-
pie, and pretending to be Of greater power
than the authorities, this maniac of the
press presents its distempered caprices as
the remedies which TIE country must
swallow without test or analysis. Only
one short hour is to be yielded to the
Legislature and the Governor to take the
compound which the Picayne and its
nurses have prepared for them in the in
terest Of the entire State. Was there ever
such set of doctors? And if there was,
did it ever find great big healthy patient
who submitted to have its stomach doc
tored in this extraordinary fashion. 1t
is highly probable that when the Picayue
attempts TO force its medicine down the
threats Of the authorities, it VIII get its
fingers hurt in the operation.

Besides the particular results developed
in our first article, certain general conclu-
5ions were established by the congress
sional investigation, the product of
which may now be summed up as
follows The gentlemen of the COM
mittee did not provoke any partisan antip-
athy, eye, among the Democrats, but won
the credit of allowing the fullest scope III
every matter that was sought to be investi-
gated Charges, suspicious and sugges-
tons were probed to the bottom, and the
answers cover wider field than was ever
taken in by any other investigation. The
committee can report that it not only ex-
plored the main trouble it was sent to in
luire about, but all its collateral issues.
What its verdict will be upon the revela-
tons that were made before it must be
waited for.
We take it, however, that the following
conclusions. will be found to have I'M
pressed themselves upon the committee:
First, that the difficulty in this State was
originated by the federal officials, and that
it was promoted by the Democrats; sec
ondly, that although Louisiana has not as
good government as she ought to have,
the fault rests more with the white than it
does with the colored people, for while the
former refused to help the latter, the latter
did not retaliate, but did the best that
they could under the circumstances; and,
thirdly. that if there are enactments on
the statute books that partake of an arbi-
trary character, they are there from neces
sity, and not from choice.
We premise that the first conclusion
which we have stated will be accepted,
from the fact that the very moment the
f9sdexal officials abused their positions by
moving to control the political organiza-

Interpretation of its terms, and frankly
admit that we are in the right; nay, more
that England is in no condition tosdispute
the question, or rather to push the dispute
to the arbitrament of war. One Of the
most able members of Parliament, in dis
cussing this question, said, pointedly, that
she has armies which can not march, ships
which are unseaworthy; and, in addition,
she has now this treaty, upon which she
can not stand
Her disposition is, undoubtedly, to
evade payment; nations, like individuals,
do not incur such weighty responsibilities
without strong reasons for hoping to escape
them. They always hope that something
will turn up in time to enable them to
elude the evil consequences which their
conduct has invited. In this case the hope
probably was either that the so-called Con-
federate States might be successful, or
that we, being the victors, would be too
crippled by our triumph to cope with so
there remained the arts of diplomacy, in
which England has always been an adept.
But this, too. has failed, and there re-
mains the serious necessity of meeting
her ''pecuniary liabilities, or of facing the
r1linous alternative-war." Which will she
choose? The cost of paying g the indirect
claims" may be enormous, but, at
all events, its amount may be def
nitely ascertained. The cost of war con-
Quoted on the scale which, in this case,
would be unavoidable, who can compute
In the first place, it would be war in
which money only would be involved, not
honor and though q man will fight for
his money, when he has it in actual pos
session, it is quite different thing to fight
against the payment of a just debt, his
share of which is to be furnished in the
indirect form Of taxes, with the additional
motive against fighting, that, whether the
war be successful or not, the taxes will
probably be increased thereby. Then, as
regards the damage to commerce incident
to war, England has everything to lose,
we comparatively nothing; but in its place
the opportunity to pay her back the injury
she has done US, and in doing SO to "bet-
ter the instruction" Then there is that
ever-festering sore in her side-injured,
irritated. eruptive Ireland. No. there is
little danger Of England's fighting. She'll

State. When the Times and Picoyune
would teach "that resistance to tyranny is
not crime, let them remember that we
have nc. tyranny in this country that
calls for other than lawful resistance. No
man is gifted with hereditary power here,
and no class of men should expect to rule
exclusively. In regard to the laws the
Times and Picay,me are clamoring to
have repealed, we are satisfied they will
be modified by the present Legislature.
The Governor long since recommended
changes in them, and majority iof the
Legislature were prepared to commence
the reforms at the commencement of the
session had they been permitted to do so.
The Times and Picaytne should recollect
this and cease their incendiary talk.
