ABEL VS.. PINCHBACE.

Among the many pleasant incidents oc-
curing at the Governor Office yesterday.
we may record the following:
At an early hour the learned Judge of
the Criminal Court rendered his congratu-
lations that new honor8 had been thrust
upon the Governor, sentiment which
was heartily reciprocated by Mr.. Pinch
back, who had already signed the appIi-
cant8 commission.
When asked. good-humoredIy, how he
liked the turn affairs had taken, he re-
piled:
have always been found unfolding the
government over me, and am now. Since
becoming judge have been under three or
four, and have ever c0mported myself assa
good and lawabidinG citizen / congratu-
late you, sir.
After again shaking hands with Gov
crnor Pinchback, Judge Abel gave way
to other prominent citizens who we,
waiting to discuss with him the political
situation.

THE CRAcK oF A TOY WITT.

The Pjcaplne, in the blindness Of its
political zeal, assails Sheriff Harper fol
recognizing the force and validity Of Gov,
ernor Pinchback's commission, issued tc
Judge Lynch upon the evidence of the
returning board that he had been elected
to the position named in the commission.
The legal officers of the State have cerd-
fed that Mr.. Lynch received a majority
Of the votes cast for judge of the Fe nth
District Court. Mr.. Harper himself re-
ceived a similar certificate and commits
sion from the Governor, by virtue of
which be holds his Office. He has aban-
doned any claim he may have once as
serted under any other authority, and
which enanated from the same source
as that whence MI Bonner rests
his title to the office. Mr. Harper, like
man Of sense and intelligence, made
proper inquiries into the history of his
own election and the law Of the case, and
wisely came to the conclusion that his
former position was untenable. Mr.. Pat
ton, the criminal sheriff, took the same
view and adopted the same course. Both
these sherifs, therefore, claim their Office
under the same authority that decided that
Mr.. Lynch is Judge of the Fourth District
Court. It is, moreover, the duty of the
sheriff himself to know. at his peril, who
is the lawful occupant Of the bench, and
Mr.. Harper could not be required by any
body except a partisan newspaper to sus-
pend his official duties and run about
asking this man or that what he thought
Of the question, or even go into litigation
to settle question which a schoolboy
could easily solve.
We regard this attacl. Of TIE Ptcapule
upon Major Harper as an impotent attempt
to whip him into the impracticabIe and
absurd views held by that paper with the
party lash. But the effort might have
been spared. Mr.. Harper has been chosen
by the people of this parish to be our
civil sheriff. A number of deluded folks
pay the editor of the Picayp0le his price for
his paper. Each has its separate sphere
Of usefulness, and it is not proper for either
to dictate to the other. Major Harper is
to Lis constituents for the
manner in which le discharges
bis duties, and the Pjcayos is
to its subscribers. 1t
would not become Major Harper
o remind the patrons of oUrneighbor that
lie had failed to give them o first class
ournal, like the REPUBLICAN, for instance.
nd he has good reason to regard the in
erference with him, the attempt to create
'ublic feeling against him, IS a piece of
MI. Harper was not our
hoice for civil sheriff. but our objections ,
'ere purely political; 70: We know him to
e gentleman in every sense Of the
ord, a mai Of sense and integrity. and
ell qualified to know lis duty and likely !
} perform it. He needs no voluntary :
lyice from those who, without fully IN j,

= suit their own selfish ends. :

rate and apparently covers all importan
points. We offer a resume in order tina
those who take an interest in it's success
may correspond with Representatives anG
suggest such amendments as they may
deem proper:
1. The ship canal is designated as an
improvement and defense of the natural
highway-tbe Mississippi.
?, 1t is to be military, naval, postal
and commercial highway
3. It will be constructed and controlled
BY the national government and thrown
open to all citizens Of our own country
and Of others in amity, free Of all tolls and
charges.
4. It provides for the purchase of the
site and franchises necessary for the work.
5. The construction Of the canal will be
under the superintendent Of the War De-
Partment, and may be put under contract
to the lowest responsible bidder, upon due
public notice thereof, and superintendent
by government officials as provided for.
Such are the chief principles embodied
il the details Of the bill Can citizen of
New Orleans be Indifferent to a work
which will assure free and adequate out
let at all times, and for all tonnage? And
this without the possibility of its inter
ruption by the failure Of an annual appro-
priation. Can the farmer and grain
dealer Of the West withhold his support
from a work that will carry the great crop
Of the West to sea cheaper than any
other route and in greater quantities than
railroads or canals? Can any business
man Or property holder among US fail to
see that in contract for six millions of
dollars to be spentin the soil of Louisiana,
the material, labor and supplies must be
furnished in our market? And can any
one, in the present discouraging aspect of
reject such a bonus to our
industries? 1t would seem,
IN view of the short period of legislation,
that the press and commercial interests Of
the Mississippi cities should urge upon
their representatives in Congress the i'm
9ortance to all interests to pass this
make the appropriations neces.
'ary, and put the work under contract at
'nce. Western farmers are even more in
crested than merchants in the completion
# this work. We would advise them that
has engineers, laborers and nipple
nents perfectly fitted for doing this work,
t is but the excavation and embankment
finer own levees and other alluviaI works,
nd if the government will say the word
re doubt not the canal can be speedily !
ompleted. Impressed with the imminent
Importance Of the work III turning one |
undred million bushels of grain through j
III own port, we implore our own citizens {
OF to permit party excitement or party '
ride from coming promptly to the aid Of I
on8ress in insuring the immediate con V
ruction Of the Fort St. Philip canal. For y
1rselyes and for Republican representa- t
yes We shall ask no special credit if a q

ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAMS AND
JUDGE DTRFTT

II is gratifying to the Republican party
of the State Of Louisiana that the Attor-
ney General Of the United States has pa;d
that close attention to their troubles that
he is able to present their case thoroughly
from his own high eminence; and i.
should be gratifying to tie nation that if
possesses an officer who, in the midst Of a
very sea of business has the industry to
investigate and the capacity to under
stand a series of political events that did
not claim his direct attention. M. VIII
iams has explained the great chancery
suit Of Kellogg vs.. Warmoth 50 clearly to
the country at large that no partisan dis
tortion can prejudice the public mind con
| corning the status of the matter in the
United States District Court hereafter,
and the Republican party need do no
more to defend itself hereafter than to re-
fer to the statement made out and pre-
scented to the federal government by its
principal law officer, and which was pub
lished in the Geographic news Of yester-
day.
The defense Of Judge DurelI contained
in the Attorney General statement is com
plete, although it was not intended as a
defense since the government at Washing
ton has Endorsed the judges action in
every particular. Mr.. Williams details
the law and tie facts il the case With
signal fidelity, and the facts as they are
brought ont by an impartial observer Of
events, justify the law applied to them by
Judge DureII The Lynch returning
board was the legal body to count tie
votes first by virtue Of the law, and, sec
ondly, by virtue Of Judge Dibble's de-
cision.. The United States Circuit Court
simply maintained this fact, which was
one it could not ignore without ignoring
the truth. Judge Durell upheld this
board in the discharge OF its functions.

In addition TO the facts which we published
yesterday from the registration report, some
others. relating 10 the diseases which have most
frequently proved fatal, may not be destitute of
interest. Consumption, Of course, heads the
list. The deaths from this disease in 1870 were
5OOS, more than twice as many as from any
other. More Of its victims died in spring than
other season, and fewer in winter. Con.
sumption was comparatively most fatal in Bris-
FOL county, aud least 50 in Dukes and Nam
tucket. It's fatality in Worcester county was
about the same as the average throughout the
state. Although this disease causes more deaths
:han any other, there is a pretty constant,
though not uniform diminution Of It's fatality.
The deaths from consumption 10 1858 were 427
% every 100000 persons; in 1870 they were only
s4s in the same number. The next In the order
Of fatal diseases is cholera inlantum, which
caused the death Of 1914 Young children. The
per centage Of deaths from this cause increases
IRON year 70 year, and is now almost twice as
s'eat a tue average for the last twenty years
