A 4" VEXED QUESTION"

The Times is an apt illustration of the
we'll known adage, ''None are SO blind as
those who will not see." 1t now pretends
to be cropping about in the dark to find
out the cause of Walter Wheylands
death. And it goes about the work so
nervously and timidly that one is pain
fully convinced that the inquirer is fearful
that the discovery, when made, will not
tit the purpose of the inquiry. 1t is evil
dent that the verdict of the coroner's
jury does not accord with the political
bias of the Times, or it would be m
hesitatinSly adopted The grand jury
merely limited at the rumors that were
prevalent that the deed was perpetrated
by a policeman, but as that superfuous
auxiliary Of the Criminal Court examined
no witnesses in the case, no positive ex-
preston of opinion was made It is clear
that none of the modes of killing that
would command the approval of our
neighbor have been satisfactorily proved,
and he is determined not to accept any
other.
But it strikes Us that the Times, which
claims to be one Of the principal news
mongers in the city, if not the best and
most to be depended upon, is somewhat -
fault itself The killing was done in
public street, while it was yet light, and in
I , e l.
The scene was one of such peculiar in
terest as to justify any frst-class news
paper in sending two or three reporters to
the spot to look out for just such occur
rences as took place. Had our contem-
porary taken this ordinary precaution, it
would not be compelled month after to !
ask who killed Walter Wheyland. Again,
t had reporter at the coroner's investi- |

THE LOBBY AND IT'S OBSTACLE,

Testimony accurf1lates in every direc-
ton that the lobby, which was and is or
ganized in the interest of the Democracy,
is responsible for the special Legislation
which the people are complaining about.
just as the Governor remarked to the del
egation that waited upon him last year,
men that are considered respectable
throng the lobbies Of the Legislature, and,
when they can not impose upon mem
bers with their plausible suggestions, they
offer them money for their votes. On one
occasion this vice was carried to such an
extent that the lobby declared itself pow
erful enough to impeach the Governor if
he resisted its favorite measure The in
vestigating committee will bear this fact
in mind, and it will couple it with the con-
slant assaults against the Governor which
are now being made by the very parties
who pretend to be in favor of every re-
form that can be mentioned. The infer
ence is plain. Governor Warmoth stands
in the way Of the lobby, and his overthrow
is the main and principal object to be ac-
His vetoes overwhelm spec
rlations that might be turned to account,
and the only way to get rid Of the vetoes
is to get rid Of their author This is the
work that the lobby has on hand now, and
the loud-voiced reformers are the very
men who are using virtuous pretexts to
speculative objects with.

rs HE A CITIZEN Q

Mr.. Joubert, who feels such a dgnified
distaste for carpet-baggers, ought to have
been questioned as to what his designs
were when he went to Paris. The law
that governs this case is nice about cer-
tain point concerning naturalization. If
Mr. JOubert was not citizen of Louisiana
before the war, and left the State for the
purpose of becoming a citizen of France,
and perfected his design by any act look
ing to that eventuaity while in Paris, then,
in fora conScientid, he then and there be-
came French subject, and no longer en-
titled to be considered as having any claim
to be rated as an American His testimony
certainly lends to the belief that he had
abandoned the State for his mind was re-
conciled to the loss of his property and,
though be qualities this by the assertion
that be fought for the Union" still he
to resume his residence in Louisiana
Having abandoned the United States,
which he admits, if this abandonment
was accompanied by ANY act looking to
naturalization in France, it is evident that
he is carpet-baGger himself, and one,
too, of that very description Of carpet
baggers which he condems, for he has
done nothing but hold office since he re-
turned to take advantage of the victory
which the drawer carpet-baggers lad won
in behalf of humanity and republican gov
eminent. Did Mr.. Joubert come to Louisi-
ana to remain, or did he merely return to
try his hand at securing an Office from the
American government that would enable |
him to live in France? Perhaps his applica-
ton for the consulate at Bordeaux may
have bearing on this question.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10 1872

CATION, who had every opportunity to find
out the full details of the homicide. But
whatever his report may have been, it was
never published, and now our neighbor
and all its readers are in a condition of
profound ignorance Of an event witnessed
by hundreds of people, and since made
the subject Of official investigation. 1t is
very plain that such testimony as has been
offered does not suit the peculiar views Of
the Times. 1t has been rejected, therefore,
and the cry is raised for more.
The assertion of the Times that high
State official testified that he had drawn a
check for $1,000 to defray the expenses of
the funeral, and that the check was dated
before Wheyland's death, is not sustained
by the testimony as published in any of
the papers-not even the Times. One of
the witnesses did state that part Of the
proceeds Of check for $1,000, drawn by
him, had been so used, but that is very
different affair The money was drawn
for an entirely different purpose; but the
payee had not spent it all, and afterward
generously donated part for the purpose
stated.
But as the Times never published any
report of the coroner's investigation; as its
reporters could not furnish suitable state
ment Of the case and as it is ashamed to
adopt the conclusions of the other papers,
it now endeavors to compensate for its
want of enterprise by inductions from col
lateral evidence, which only show its ig-
norance and weakness. Probably the
Times and the grand jury are the only
people in New Orleans who regard this as
a vexed question.

Abusing the Executive.

| Some journals have a chronic procllvity
for abuse. Ii is not unfrequentIv used as a
! substitute for argument, and does away
with the necessity of being logical aud in
| telligent. The public very soon, however,
| estimate these papers at their true worth,
and look upon them as the harmless me
dunn through which biliingsgate and vitu-
peration find vent. 1t is well undeis4 ood
fact that character can not be DESTROYED by
obloquy. neither can it be enhanced by
praise. In tins light the Governor and lis
friends view the persistent attacks of the
PIcdyune. No measure of legislation that
has had its origin in his suggestions seems
to please it. The reform that it cried for SO
Justify, when held out to it by the Gov
ernor, was TO its distorted vision blind
and deception. 1t made no difference
that the bills incorporated the provisions
that were most eagerly sought for-reform
was no reform if the Governor had a hand
in it.
Two members of the Legislature intro %
duced new printing bills. One is highly Oh
jectiOnable the other meets with universal
favor. The latter meets with the Govern
Or's approval. But of sudden another
Senator reports a bill as a substitute for the
other two. when, with wonderful prescience
the Pic0y,tee alleges that the last is the
Governors choice-that it has been done
through his cOntriyance. How does the
Picoyu"e know this Has any public init.
nation been given to that effect The time
was. and very recently, too, when the Pica-
ytnc would not make statement unless as
sured OF its correctness. 1t is matter of
regret that it has departed from this wise
custom.
How is it publicly known on the heels of
the reported substitute that Senator Camp-
bell has offered it on the suggestion Of the
executive. Yet there is no qualification in
the Picayune'S statement. 1t announces it
as a fact. 1t says:
The fact is, that the gubernatorial and
partners in the existing mo-
nopoly are not willing to reduce their divi-
bends by legislation merely to crafty public
clamor. Legislative felars must .spare
that tree" The golden fruit thereof aud
the timber thereof belong to ''the party" |
tO-wit: about half to his eXCellency and the |
other half 10 a few of bis fayorite friends.
Now, the fact is, that there is not one |
word OF truth i'll the foregoing statement |
The Governor knew nothing about General |
CampbelIs substitute, and there has been !
no reason furnished in his acts or recon- |
to justify the conclusion that |
ne will favor any measure that does not
fully meet the requirements of Ills annual |
message. From this determination he can
not, be turned by praise, much less BY
obloquy. This stumbling by hap-hazard OH
conclusions may be very gratifying to those
who write, but will not enhance the reputa-
ion of the paper for correct intelligence.

The duty of the customhouse officer
should be to collect the revenues, and
it should be no part of his duty to run the
political machine. This is very plain, and
it requires no legislation or Treasury regu-
latiOn to fix it. We have seen that the
scandals which have brought disgrace upon
the administration have resulted from the
appointment Of partisans. whose places de-
pended or were supposed to depend upon
their zeal i'll political wire pulling in the in
terest of one or the other faction. Under
this requirement no honorable man could
hold the Office OF Collector at New York.
He is required to appoint subordinates, not
with reference TO their qualifications to dis
charge the duties of the office, but with
reference to their political influence, and
their ability to run ward meetings and pack
conventions. This is denloralizing, and no
service can Je efficiently performed that is
subject to its influence.
Next comes the New Orleans scandal
This has a most offensive Odor. No use in
offering excuses for it. There are none
MIR. Casey undertook to rule the politics of
Louisiana. He adopted most unscrupulous
means, and at last employed United
States revenue vessel to carry boiling
members of the Legislature out of reach
of the Sergeant-at-Arms. For all this he
has been called to account; but nothing
short of removal will satisfy the public.
The fact that he is relative of the Presi-
dent makes it all the more necessary that
he should be turned out of an office that he
has disgraced.
Grant is stong with the people, but not
so strong that lie can afford to carry the
CustOmhouse scandals or bear up under
the course of those who profess to speak
for him in the Senate.

The REPUBLICAN holds that fraudulent
and unconstitutional certificate of indebted
ness in the hands of third parties carries
with it sacred Obligation against the
State. OF course forged notes or checks in
the hands of third parties must equally be
honored.-1Tmes.
Of course the REPUBLICAN does not hold
to any such doctrine. But We suggested
that it was doubtful whether an evidence
of debt duly issued by State officer, at
time when he was authorized to issue it,
could be stricken with nullity by the sub
sequent enactment ola general law forbid
ding the payment of certain class of
debts. Our position is that the fourteenth
amendment, which prohibits the payment
Of public debts contracted to aid the re-
bellion, and the one hundred and twenty
seventh article of our constitution, which
nullifies contracts based upon confederate
notes and bonds as a consideration, are
not applicable for a claim which did not
originate i'll either of the Objectionable
modes. SO that whether these constitu-
tional provisions are designed to be retro
active or not, they do not apply in the case
discussed by u.s. As the certificates were
neither fraudulent nor unconstitutional at
the time they were issued by Auditor
Peralta, we doubt whether they ever be

The Lafayette Journal says that disease
known as diphtheistic rheumatism has made
its appearance there and in other places
1t first shows itself in the form of iolent
sore throat, not unlike diphtheria, and then
assumes the rheumatic, settling in the neck,
limbs, or other portion of the body. 1t is
superinduced 10y a cold, and is not consid-
cred dangerous, although the pains are very
severe, and annoying in the extreme.
