In the Police Court on Saturda,
Judge Smell delivered his opinion i,
tho case Of Mi: Fruend.. charged
with refusing 10 entertain coloret

Judge fined the defendant 500
After reviewing the facts in the case
the Judge said The court is SAT-

meanings Of the Sd section Of this
act. for a refusal to serve the COM
plainants. Webster defines pretext

meaning of the word pretext could
be more opposite than that furnished
by the conduct of the defendant.
He was unwilling to make q direct
and positive refusal to scruc the COM

an otensidle reason, which he hoped
would shield him from the legal
consequence Of. direct and positive

nishes tho following quesdoa an
comments which are worthy
note in these troubloas times sc
Lou1s1AN1AN. ......
Speaker Blaine has the feputatio,
Of being a sagacious and far-seeinl
politician, thoroughly understand
ing tho art Of laying his plans IN.
organizing his hrces@ 80 a. to gai,
his end Be this a. it. may, hi
speech last week, at tho Cooper In
stitote, in this city, explaining tn.
Fourteenth Amendments, and show
ing the rights and powers Of th<
General Government under thu
amended Constitution, went to the
very root Of the matter in respect to
the Democratic cry about seen
tralization." We quote q single
passage:
but I cannot make myself COM
prehendt how it is that . government
that has IN arm long enough and
strong enough to reach to the Medit-
erranean and snatch Martin Costa from
the hands of the Austrian power, or
take Oh. Howard from the hands OF
the Spanish Government, shsll yet be
told that If you and I hsve our rights
interfered with, our pcrsons wronged,
our property imperiled, on the soil of
South Carolina or Alabama, the Fed
eral Government must not be asked to
interfere, because that would be des-
troying the great Democratic doctrine
OF locol self-government."-
We confess ourselves TO be in the
same predicament The truth is,
the =" Democratic doctrine of local
sclf-government," which is simply
Calhounism modernized. lies right
in the face and eyes Of the Constitu-
of the United States. It denies
to the General Government powers
which are bestowed upon it by the
express words Of this Constitution.
It theoretically dispossesses the ma
lion of all right ON. its own soil to
protect the guaranteed rights Of its
own citizens. The General Govern
ment may do 80 everywhere else;
but the moment it. comes to act
the limits Of its. own iuris-
then "local self-govern-
nent palsies its arm and turns it
INTO a legal sham. Here the 1e-
'pective States have all the power,
md the National Government has
10 power. This Democratic doc
rine OF State Rights has no basis
n the Constitution and none in
olnmon sense.
