FIRING INTO PROFESSIONS.

We regret to learn that some Of the
practices that rendered the campaign Of
1868 so terrible are again being resorted
to by political partisans.
A few evenings since the Broom Rangers
were fired into while peaceabIy passing
along the street in procession, and three
men wounded. The persons who did the
firing were not identified, or a fearful
reckoning might have been taken. But
the act was cowardly, malicious and
despicable, and such as 10 community
should tolerate.
The incident, however affords a warn
ing which respectable people should. heed
and act on, by taking measures to prevent
its recurrence. Once this practice is re-
vived, the consequences will be most Ia
mentable. The federal government only
awaits an opportunity to interfere in our
elections. Such pretext will be found
amply sufficient An act SO malicious as
firing upon a peaceable procession is in
eXcusable under any circumstances, and
can only be perpetrated by those who have
nothing to lose and everything to gain by
tumult and violence.
Any and all political parties have q
right to march through the streets to dis
play their numbers, discipline and en-
thusiasm. All claim it, and all exercise
it. Nor is a difference Of opinion any
cause of a disturbance. 1t is expected
that adverse views will be entertained on
political subjects. The human mind has
never yet reached uniformity; nor is it
any indication of dishonesty, prejudice or
enmity to the State in a minority to differ
from a majority. Courtesy would dictate
very different sentiments from that of
which this recent act of violence is an ex-
ample. We should rather rejoice in a
friendly rivalry for political precedence.
According to others the same honesty of
purpose and. sincerity of conviction we
maintain for ourselves, these professions
evince an enthusiasm which speaks highly
for the patriotism Of our people.
1t is, We again say, the duty of every
peGceably disposed and law-abiding citi-
zen to frown down such acts Of violence,
and bring the perpetrators of the outrage
to condign punishment. The passions of
men becoming infamed in such a contest
as this will lead to results every good citi-
zen must shudder to contemplate.

. The Picay0e is now so deeply engaged
in rallying stockholders favorable to its
present editorial management there is
prospect that its disturbing influence
will not be brought to bear in the delibera-
tons Of the conference committees. 1t
sends forth in its evening edition one Of
its most Iugubrious cries. Such a one as
the frightened hyena may be supposed to
emit when the pursuing chase leaves no
room for escape. Evidently its career is
fast eliminating and its epitaph viii soon
be written. ReQaaescat in pace.

ONE OF THE DUTIES OF SOVEREIGNTY.


The organ of the repudiators has dis
covered that a sovereign State can not be
sued either in the national courts or her
own, and derives consolation from the in
teligence This doctrine is not new to
any person familiar with American poll
tics We do not remember to have seen
any claim set up for the past twenty
years that citizen or any foreign sub
ject can cite State Of the American
Union into court for compulsion on a
simple contract.
But when the claim is made by
State or a nation to the possession of the
attributes Of sovereignty, the correspond
ing obligations and duties are assumed. A
sovereign, though Independent ofall other
powers, and irresponsible to any higher
source for the manner in which the sover-
eighty is exercised, is yet bound to observe
the rules of justice and equity, or suffer in
dignity and reputation. A State with the
strength to depredate upon the property
Of others without the sense Of justice to
make restitution would soon lose its rank
in the civilized world and invite invasion.
So we often see great nations leaving dis
puted questions to disinterested arbiterS,
with the tacit understanding that both
disputants will abide by the decision.
And it is customary in certain cases for
States of the American Union to grant
permission to aggrieved parties to sue
them in their own courts. So that when
We examine the legal and constitutional
points involved in the debt of this State
and the manner in which it was contracted,
we merely refer to the chart of equity by
which We expect all our future statesmen
and legislators to be guided.
Doubtless, if our repudiators and do
nothings were to obtain entire control Of
Louisiana, our Legislatures would meet
from time to time and adjourn without
passing a revenue bill, or voting an ap-
preparation for any purpose. But such |
action would be neither honorable nor hon
est, and one example of the kind would !
consign the perpetrators to merited |
inamy and obscurity. This is a ques-
ton that is to be decided by the |
people themselves through their represen-
tatiyes. The constituents of venal and |
corrupt legislators have no other mode of
relief than to discharge their unworthy
agents the first opportunity. In the mean
time, however, they are bound by their

THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE IN SBs-
SION

THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE IN SEES
Notwithstanding the absence Of Mr.
Wicklife, the Democratic committee on
conference had a session yesterday, com
mencing a few minutes after twelve
o'clock. 1t seems to be the desire of a
| majority Of the committee to form a pro
gramme and submit it for the considera-
| ton of the Liberals On the contrary,
others, more earnest perhaps in the work
before them, want the COMMITTEES to meet
untrammeled by any ultimatum, but with
an eye single to the purposes in view.
1t is evident, one gentlemen remarked,
that the conservative parties are destined
to defeat if they continue to maintain
the past hostile and irreconciIable attitude
to each other. In his view, coalition
should be brought about without regard
to prejudice or partisan preferences. It
really made no difference who the candi-
date for Governor should be-by whom
the first offices should be flled-so they
were men void OF the antpathleS which
would drive either Of the parties from
their support. The question, therefore,
in his opinion, narrowed itself into the
simple proposition, who is the most
available man? ? None of these now in the
field occupy that position. On the con-
trary, they have engendered opposition
by the mere fact of heading tickets so in
harmonious as the conservatives have
been of late. He did not presume to in
dictate any particular man, but if the con-
ference committees entered upon their
Iabors earnestly bent on reconciliation
the proper person would certainly be
found. It would be necessary to slrren-
der individual preferences for the COM
mon good, and sincerely abide the result,
whatever it might be.
If this spirit animates both or all the
committees, it is very possible a salts
factory understanding will be arrived at.
The absent member, Mr.. WickIife, is ex-
pected to arrive this morning.
