JUDICIAL ASPIRATIONS FOR Political
OFFlcE.-The people Of the country have
lately seen two OF the Justices Of the Su-
preme Court in the arena Of politics. 1t
Ia true that neither Of them has gained
anything, and that neither Of them made
any considerable show as a contestant for
the prizes Of the arena. This, however,
is not the matter to be. noticed. They
both entered their names or allowed them
TO be entered, as aspirants for the highest
political Office in the gilt Of the people. 1t
is this fact and not the success that at
tended their efforts which ought to call
forth public reprobation. The Chief
Justice Of the United States and one Of
the Justices Of his own Court, appeared
"a rival candidates in the same political
convention, for one and the same political
Office. Such spectacle is not only often.
sive to the people, but it is q degradation
OF thejudicial character. 1t is full OF evil
omens to our American judiciary, that
those who hold It's highest dignities are
forgetting the prophecies Of their position,
and instead Of devOting themselves TO the
great duties assigned to them by the Con.
stituion, are yearniDg for political dis.
tinctions, and in order to secure them, are
trimming TO the gales Of popular favor.
There is q general feeling among the
American people that a judge should keep
himself entirely aloof from politics. A
political judge, and especially partisan
Judge, Is almost universally, and that
rightly, an odiouS character. Men may
use him for their own purposes, as the
great stock operators and the Tammany
politicians are said to have done, but he
Is after all despised. In accordance with
this feeling, there Is very strong aver.
sion to Judge, while still on the bench,
becoming candidate for any political
Office. The two things arc regarded as
incompatible with one another. And
most Of all does this sentiment predomi.

A FALSE ALARM.

The Executive Committee Of some.
thing or somebody writes a letter to the
Times, and publishes it in the Bee, which
discusses politics from a revolutionary
standpoint. One of its reasons for de.
handing the overthrow of the constituted
authorities is the pretended refusal Of the
general government to pass a law securing
to every citizen the right to vote. This
nonsense is published in the Bee, and in
dorsed by that paper, because the Tines
had too much sense to allo- such stupidity
to be circulated in its columns. The gen
eral government has passed the very law
that this Executive Committee" pretends
to be waiting for Every citizen of Lou
isiana is allowed to vote at present. and
the law secures him in this right
The State has done the same thing And
what is more, every citizen has exercised
this right according to his own interests.
A large class Of people have refused to
vote because they thought it q degradation
to do SO in company with negroes. An
other class has neglected to vote because
thereby it escaped the obligation of doing
jury duty. Another class has abdicated
it because it could not spare the time
Another class has lodged its responsible
ties by pretending that politics was only
botheration and mass Of corruption
Democrats stayed away from the polls be-
cause they could not trust their own
friends. Conservatives followed their ex-
ample because they could trust nobody
And every man Of all these absentees de-
Tended his abstention, when pressed to
the wall, with the plea that they took no
interest IN such matters. Can Congress
pass laws to drag these men to the polls?
Our impression about the executive
committee is that it is not so much i'll
terested IN the men who vote as it is in
those who are voted for 1t is after the
Offices more than it is after the nrhlic

MEXICAN PREJUDICE.

Somewhat as we expected a strong spirit
| of opposition has manifested itse If il the
Mexican Congress against granting any
| right Of way or material assistance to the
project of a railroad from the Rio Grande
through the territory Of Mexico to the
Pacific ocean. The origin Of this opposi-
ton is to be found in the apprehension
which the Mexicans entertain that the
United States desires to possess the
northern provinces of Mexico. Any pro-
ject which proposes to open the door for
Americans to enter into any portion of
Mexico at once arouses this sentiment. and
the apprehension to which We alluded as
existing against US IS so strong and wide
spread that it is capable of being used to
defeat the most salutary measure. 1t will
be wonder to us if the Mexican Congress
grants even the right of way to the rail
road that We need and must have to the
Pacific; for since she cares nothing about
the railroad herself, but rather fears its
effect upon her own integrity, she
will Justify her refusal to ciye Us
passage way to the Pacific by
declaring that she can not protect
the company, and that she declines to lie
held responsible for the damages that
might result if she failed to hold the
laborers and their works harmless from
the Indians. Such an answer as this
ought not to be tolerated for an instant.
It is a confession Of weakness and in
becility that should meet with but one
reply from the United States, that since
It IS necessary for us TO have road to
the Pacific from oGr western border on
the Rio Grande, il Mexico can not guard
1t we are bound to hold and guard it our
selves. > Such response as this would
precipitate one of two alternatives, either
We should obtain the grant Or We should
be forced 70 occupy the country, and thus
possess ourselves Of an outlet. Wherever
civilization extends, it is a right that every
holder claims, and is allowed to
have, that he shall possess a roadway to
and from his own property. This is or
right that we set up as against Mexico,
and besides being a neighborly part in
her to grant it freely, it is her solemn
obligation that will be enforced if it is
No mere whim or prejudice
must be allowed to choke up the national
highway that is destined to connect New
Orleans and the South with the great
Pacific and our friends in the far West.

THE EVIL AT WORK.

Already the credit of the State has been
affected by the political demaSogues who
are demanding the reputation of the pub
lie debt and the non-payment of taxes
These selfish and impossible demands can
have but one effect, which will be to IN
crease the burdens that the people COM
plain about so loudly. If the State has
to pay three prices for what she buys,
who viii have to pay the bill? If she can
not collect her taxes she will be forced to
buy upon credit; in proportion as her
credit is deprecated, in that proportion
she will have to increase her Indebtedness:
as the debt expands so must the taxes be
advanced. These three propositions are
inseparable. The citizen can prove the
truth Of what we say by referring to his
own expense list If he buys Tor cash
he gets his goods cheaper and
better than if he has to purchase
upon credit that is under the
shade of unreliability. If he pays at long
intervals, and after constant dunning, lie
is sure that his bill will be larger than If
he paid in cash upon the spot just so
with the State. When her credit is good,
or her treasury well supplied, she can at
ford to purchase at the lowest price and il
market overt. If her credit is bad, and
her treasury ont Of funds, she trades with
those who charge heavy pprcentareS! for
the risks they take. IF she pays three
eollara on credit for what she ought to
oay Tor dollar in cash, these additional
TWO dollars have to come out of the peck
cts OF the people; and if they have forced
her to commit this extravaganza by refus-
ing to pay their taxes, the fault is with
them, and they must submit to the evil
which their own stupidity brought upon
themselves This is very plain to US, and if
We have expressed it plainly, the fact that

AN EQUITABLE DEMAND.

The Firemen's Charitable Association
through their president, Mr. I. n. Marks,
have notified the municipal authorities
that they will claim interest at eight per
cent upon the large amount lover s75,OOO
now due them. We can perceive no in
justice in this. Indeed, it is clear to our
mind that they are entitled to it, notwith-
standing the Piccysne appears to incline
to contrary opinion. The firemen earn
every cent guaranteed them in their con-
tract with the city. If the municipal au-
thorities are unable or unwilling to pay
when their obligations become due, we
perceive no inconsistency or error in their
putting themselves on the same footing as
other creditors
Doubtless every creditor Of the city
whose claim is not paid as soon as it is
due, or within reasonable time, has a right
to demand and receive interest. The law,
however, only allows five per cent on an
open account. The public creditors usu-
ally provide for their reimbursement for
dilatory payment by adding enough to the
amount to make up for interest and dis
count on city shin-plasters. We repeat
remark made by us the other day: No
one, not even a sovereign State or a large
and powerful city, can buy as cheap on
long and uncertain time, and with depre-
ciated currency, as for ready pay and in
good money.
