CRYING FOR THE MOON,

The incident is familiar of the man who
applied to a certain bank and demanded
his money, and then refused to accept the
cash when it was readily rendered. He
wanted to be paid if the bank did not have
the money, and he did not want to be paid
if the bank did have it. The Bee reminds
us of that individual. 1t demanded the
repeal of certain laws, and now that it has
been accommodated, it tears its hair more
than ever. 1t wants the ''grande conf
d-a-n-c-e!" and it wants it badly. The
Governor wrote his message three weeks
ago suggesting reform, submitted it to
competent citizens for their approval, pub
lished it ten days ago, and yet the Bee and
its tender, the Citizens Guard affirm and
protest that he only consented to favor re-
form at the last moment. The great diff
Guilty with this sort of people is that they
do not know what they want themselves.
That is, they know what they would do if
they had the opportunity, but they do not
know what they want the Legislature to
do, since they are certain that it will not
do what they would have it do. The world
is full of this sort of weakness and all that
reasonable men can do in the premises is
to let those that cry for the moon get it if
they can

ness summoned by the late grand jury, t

ness summoned by the late grand jury, to
my knowledge.
If assassination can be perpetrated in our
midst without some clue to the perpetratOr
being had, the police force should be abOl-
ished.
And if grand jury should fail to take
notice of matter in which the whole people
are interested, it cannot, to my mind, be
justified.
Had Judge Abel desired to utter the
truth, he could have learned from the city
papers that John Kerrigan was not assassi-
nated but simply wounded in a street
broil, the nature of which was such that he
refused to give particulars to the police, or
to name his assailant. Further, that his
attending physician certified Kerrigan to
be out Of danger at least ten days ago.
Thus, his bloody accusation is shown to
be unfounded; his ignorance as to what
action the late grand jury took self-con-
fessed, and his oblique insinuation against
the efficiency Of the police mean as it is
malicious.
We regard these as additional facts
worthy of investigation by the legislative
committee

TWO SUGGESTIVE FACTS.

Two facts are reported that ought to go
long way in opening the eyes of the peo-
pie of New Orleans. When it was an
nounced by telegraph in New York ON
Monday that the Legislature of the State
of Louisiana had at last obtained a quo
rum, and was busily at work, our securi-
ties of all descriptions advanced ten per
cent. While it was apprehended that the
Democratic revolutionists might subvert
the constituted authorities by revolu-
tionary effort, State bonds felt the effect in
constant and rapid depreciation.
Another fact: A large flour house in IL
linois telegraphed to its agents in New Or
leans that it would suspend shipments, be-
cause the condition of affairs in Louisiana
was such that revolution might destroy
property at any moment. The natural in
quiry arises, who originated the troubles
that deprecated our credit in New York
and injured our trade in Illinois? What
pretended organs Of public opinion gave out
the scandalous suggestion that the people
of New Orleans intended to ''force REFORM
Who We're the men that gathered the mob,
and, after haranguing with incorporate
language, offered to lead it to violence? If
the community does not know who did
these things, and if it does not remember
them as evil and unsafe men to be trusted
hereafter, it will give certain evidence that
it does not know how to protect itself

AN UNJUST JUDGE.

Judge Abel has now placed himself be-
yond the sympathy of every citizen who
desires to see tie bench kept free from po-
htlcal craftsmanship and made the instr1l-
meht OF Punishment to wrong-doers only.
With no other discriminate motives than
to justify his rash and illegal dismissal of
the grand jury to cast further obloquy
upon the gentlemen he then insulted. and
to keep up inhalAed public feeling, he yes
terday again charged the grand inquest to
investigate the oft-repeated allegation that
Lieutenant Governor Pinchback ATTEMPTED
to kill r. Morris Chester, and thence
descends to downright Misrepresentation.
We quote:
Soon after this Captain Kerrigan was as
sassinated on Common street, and no arrest
was made by the police, nor q single wit

CONSULTING AFTER DEFEAT.

The occurrences Of yesterday are sng-
gestive of the fact that the strikers in the
Legislature do not know what to do with
reform now they have got it. For, in
stead of appearing in their seats and talk
ing hold of the work they are paid eight
dollars day to perform. they Were
huddled into restaurant taking coUn-
sci together. As their sessions were
secret, nothing is known of the subjects
discussed. Neither do we consider it
matelia' to the public what they We're, or
VII; las said, or who said it. The i'm
poIiaE. fact remains that some thirty
members OF the House failed to respond
to the roll call, which was of no great i'm
portance, as there was quorum without
them. Also, fourteen or fifteen Senators
kept out Of the way, which was important,
because it again broke the quorum. Sen
ator Todd made his first appearance, but
Senator Thomas, who was in the Senate
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-01-17

the day before, was detained elsewhere.
and Senator Whitney, who is in poor
health, did not come down. So that an
other day has been lost by the neglect of
the reform Senators to respond to the call
of duty.
Now, this conduct creates the i'm
preston that there is something else
beside the public good at the bottom Of
the movement. 1t can not be disputed
that the proper place for Senator, if he
wishes to serve the State, is in the Senate,
and that of a Representative, in. the
House. But the pretended reformers fight
shy of their proper field Of action, and go
around buzzing to each other in secret
conclave in places inaccessible to the
public. The passage Of the repeal bills
by the General Assembly, and the with
drawal of the federal troops, has fanked
them and thrown them into confusion,
and they appear to have withdrawn their
forces for the purpose of agreeing upon
something else to make fuss about.

1t was currently reported yesterday that
the Senators who first took refuge on board

Some persons were disposed to attribute
the absence of Senator Thomas from the
Senate yesterday to the evil influences of
these delinquent Senators Why they
should have greater influence over Senator
Thomas than the public interest, it is hard
to conceive and therefore the public
should be slow to judge him so poorly. 1t
may be that he was endeavoring to exert
a wholesome influence over Senators, who
nave thus far, since the commencement of
this session, deserted their post of duty.
If he can bring them to their senses, his
absence from the Senate yesterday morn
ing should be excused.

there is a disturbance in the Republican

the latter have had to take water, politi-

any other way. The Memphis appeal will
