The Bee insists that if the Legislature
does not do what it demands to have done
then there will be trouble in the camp.
This means that we are to have a. row
unless the Bee is satisfied Perhaps there
are men who will be frightened into doing
what they are opposed to by this sort of
war talk, but We hardly think they can be
found IN the Legislature. A good reason
Is better than big cudgel to influence
legislation even out of negro and the
Bee ought to understand this fact after the
experience that it has had.

TIE PICAYUNE FRENzIED.

Legal reforms in civilized community,
are to be effected in legal manner: and
when the people are really bent on having
| them they are certain to take place. They
are not to be brought about, however, by
vituperative language or insane rawlings,
whether INDUCED in by private individuals
or by that more pretentious agent, the
penny press. 1t is certainly very painful
to listen to the chickering's or wells Of a
maniac, but sane men do not regulate
their own affairs thereby. It is, therefore.
highly improbable that the Legislature
viii be at all governed in their action by
such frenzied language as that used by the
Picayctne in its leading article yesterday
morning.
When things are at the worst they soon
mend: and if this State is reduced to so
miserable condition as that bewailed by
the Picaymne it will not, it can not be
long before remedy will be sought and
found. The readers Of that obstreperous
sheet, when they have succeeded in inter
preting its articles, must find themselves
in the situation of the client in the story
who never knew how badly he had been
used until hearing his wrongs set forth by
his counsel. Certainly this did not look,
On Tuesday last, like poverty-stricken,
n-trodden city, crushed under "a
nightmare, . "suffocating in the grip Of an
widowed" ''desolate,' and
standing on the verge of ''a stygian pool
full of venomous reptiles and loathsome
This is, undoubtedly,
strong language; but is it that of a
ane mind? Does it not seem to be
written in that painful state of reaction !

A SAD CASE OF DEsERTION.

After having nursed and fostered the
peoples party" to its present burly con-
dition, the Times is now distressed that its
founding has deserted to other and later
nurses. 'Mad luminaries," such as the
Piccyne, "haye sprung above the horizon,
and are now careering through the tir1na-
ment' with the babe and nursing that
the Times invented two years ago, ZAP
pointed and specially ordained to preach
reforms" that they opposed and derided
at the outset This IS a case of desertion
that ought to warrant Judicial proceedings

COMMENTS BY TIE OFFICIAL JOURNAL.

We notice that it is announced that a
movement is to be made By the members
OF the Legislature to call out their friends
who are members of the various clubs in
the city to meet with the citizens and the
Committee Of Fifty-one in front of the City
Hall Saturday evening. Would not the
Radicals consider il a great piece OF
afIontery and bad manners if body o.
citizens opposed TO them and TO their meas
ures were to volunteer to unite with them
in their conventions. with the privilege Of
speaking and voting on important ques-
tons '-Picayune, february l6.
We submit the question, if this is no;
cool? Here is an invitation extended to
all the citizens to attend a meeting from
which one-half of them at least are to be
excluded. 1t will be seen that we altered
the heading somewhat, substituting the
word masked for the VOID mass" BE-
cause it seems to US that the demand for {.
meeting Of all the people was merely H.
tended to mean a meeting of all the Demo
Gratis. AS the Radicals comprise at least
one-half of the population, when the peo-
pie are called together upon public occa-
sion they consider that the invitation is IL
tended for them as we'll as for Democrats
1t is evident, therefore, that the mass meet
ing tonight is merelya Democrating meet
ing in disguise, which justifes us in de-
fning it as q masked meeting.
Our friends need not alter their design
because Of this intimation, however, for
they have got formal invitations to attend,
and these are what they need to admit
them to the oratolical and hysterieal ban
quet that will come Off at Lafayette square.
The place is public property, the host Of the
occasion has politely requested their pres
ence, and they are interested il tie perform
ances both as citizens and as guests, who
have been honored with invitations. Their
have, no doubt, been made to
be present; the call is addressed 70 them,
their interests are to be discussed, they
have checked their baggage to the square
and wind and weather permitting, let them
go by all means. And let them go early
and secure good seats, for as the perform
ances Will be entertaining, they ought to
see and hear all that is to be seen or heard

in for similar purpose, so that the rather
unusual spectacle OF three persons meet.
