Rights of Pedestrians.

Whether the same laws exist as to the
rights of pedestrians in New Orleans as in
Boston, we do not know, but it is certain
that they ought to. The Boston transcript
reports the following:
This legal axiom, which seems to have
become somewhat obsolete of late, was re-
affirmed in the Municipal Court this morn
ing. A man named John Burke was COM
planned of for violating the city ordinance,
which requires that teams shall not be
nearer than within ten feet of each other at
street crossings.
Judge Churchill said that this ordinance
was too often violated without any COM
plant being made; that it was the duty of
drivers OF vehicles to exercise the utmost
care at street crossings. The law had al
ready decided that the foOt-passenger had
Uhe right OF way, yet so little attention was
pald 10 u that person was in danger of
lie ana limb at those crossings where no
OIncer was stationed, the drivers crOWdiDg
their teams together with the utmost indif-
ference as to the fate of persons on foot.
who were left to get across as best thew
could, or run the risk of broken limbs If
they were not active enough to keen ont of
the way. Burke was fined $40 and costs
and appealing was held in 500 for trial in
the Superior Criminal Court.

BATON ROUGE ResoIutions.

At the meeting Saturday evening at
Baton Rouge, to indorse the Cincinnati
convention, the following preamble and
resolutions we're adopted, as reported by
the committee on resolutions:
WHEREAS, Believing that we are on the
eve Of political canvass of greater magni-
tude and Importance than any that ever
preceded il, and in which the issue of mill
tary rule and Capitalization or local self
government and constitutional liberty will
be presented to the country; that the deci-
sion OF these vital questions will be depend
ent upon the action of the Democratic
party, and believing that it will be unable,
single-handed and alone, to avert the dan
gers threatened on the one hand, or to
secure the blessings guaranteed in the
triumph of the other; therefore, be it
ReSOLUed, That we think it would be m
wise and inexpedient to have national
Democratic ticket in the field during this
canvass, and are of the opinion that the
platform adopted by the Cincinnati Liberal
Republican Convention should be accented
and its nominees supported, by all who are
DESTROYS of seeing restored Union and
harmonious people.
ReSolUed, That the overthrow of Radical
ism in this State, the restoration of good
government, and the election of honest and
capable men to Office, can, in our opinion,
only be secured by our acting in harmony
and accord with the great national reform
movement inaugurated at Cincinnati; and
TO to this end we deem it advisable to put
such ticket in the field for State officers at
the ensuing general election as will secure,
IN Louisiana, the support of all the elements
opposed to Radicalism and Capitalization.
ReSOLUed, That our delegates be directed
to vote for instructing the delegates sent
from this State to the National Democratic
Convention to vote against making nOmin-
atiOns for the Offices of President and Vice
President OF the United States at the en-
suing election.
RESOLVED, That this meeting deem it in
expedient to make nominations until after
the adjournment of the national conven.
ton, but leave the decision of this question
to the delegation.
ReSOtUed, That a mass meeting of the
Democracy of the parish of East BATON
Rouge be called to meet at Pixies Theatre
buildmg on the second Saturday of july,
1872.
TIE following preamble and resolutions,
Endorsing the action of the delegates to the
Democratic State Convention, were also
adopted unanimously:
WHEREAS, The delegation accredited by
the Democracy of the parish of East Baton
Rouge to the State convention convened in
tbe eity of New Orleans, on the eighteenth
of April last, have made a full and satisfac-
tory report of their action in said cOnven-
ton to a mass meeting Assembled in the
citv of Baton Rouge, this eleventh day of
May, 1879; therefore, be it
ResolUed, That the Democracy Of the par
ish Of East Baton Rouge heartily approve
the wise, iudicious and patriotic course
taken by the delegation, in every par
tieular.
ResOlUed, That the delegation have re-
fected honor and credit on their eOnstitn
ents by the leading part taken and the in
