The Docs OF ST.. BERNARD.-Ihese dogs,
says the Swiss 7tnIes, are becoming more a
Ia mode; everywhere there Is demand for
them. 1t will be remembered that Swiss
dog fancier, NJ. Schumacher (brother of Ma
jOr Schumacher), obtained at Paris the first
grand prize. At Cannstadt, and at the time
OF the Wurtemburg exhibition, the King "a
miliarly entertained himself with the Swiss
competitors, and examined with attention
the dogs furnished at the collar with the ira
ditional supply OF cordials, patting and at
the same time suffering himself to be patted
by the principal animals. The Swiss expo
sitors obtained on that occasion two grand
prizes and diplomas. This renOwn has pro-
cured the st. Bernard breed unparalleled IA
vor. People are buying In all parts OF Eu-
rope. even to the borders Of the Atlantic
the dogs Of st. Bernard. Berne appears to
be, according to those well H.. IN dog fancy
ing. the only place which has preserved the
purity OF the breed. soma people will have
it that those Of the Valais, nay, even those
of st. Bernard itself are nothing more than
crOss-breeds. However this may be, we
have here a novel kind of business, Of which
nobody ever dreamed few years ago.

FORGING TIE IssnE.

The issue is now squarely drawn. The
people Of Louisiana are blessed with a
government in session at their State
House, organized in conformity, not only
with the State laws, but with those great
and bencfcent guarantees of the peoples
liberties, the fifteenth amendment and en-
forcement acts, to sustain which the honor
Of the nation is pledged.
On the other hand, they are cursed with
a revolutionary cabal, which, while FRO
life breeder Of discord, is estopped by the
chicanery and fraud that brought it into
life from the possibility Of doing good.
The former has already entered upon
those practical works Of reform legislation
which a long suffering and oppressed peo-
ple have demanded as the primary guar
antees of good faith in their chosen ser
wants The other has contented itself
with an attempted raid upon the public
treasury.
Every art has been used to infame pub
lie sentimentagainst the legal government,
the chief organ Of the conspirators exhib-
ting remarkable ingenuity in playing up
on the single accusation at their command,
to-wit: that the State government is com
posed in large part of negroes. But its
efforts have availed naught, and finally
the issue is distinctly made.
Both the legal and pretended Legisla-
lures have authorized the Governors whom
they respectively adhere to, to appeal to
the President for recognition andssupport.
This has been done, and the national
government has determined that acting
Governor P. 3. s. Pinchback and the
Legislature in session at the State House
constitute the legal, regular and Legitimate
government of Louisiana, and us such is
and shall be Acknowledged and sustained!
AS in the case Of the Dorr rebellion,
this executive decision, sustained by Con
gress as it unquestionably Will be, ends
the struggle FOR supremacy-the struggle
Of law, popular rights and civil liberty,
against fraud, outrage ana tyrannlcaI
usurpation.
Proclamations Of pretended authorities,
or other demonstrations against the State
government which stir up domestic vio-
lence or threaten to produce such calan-
itous results, will provoke the strong arm
of federal power for their repression. It
is now the sworn duty Of the President to
render such aid.
Those who have received their creden-
tails from the returning board, especially
such as have taken part in the proceed
ings Of the regular Legislature, will hence
forward be entitled to no consideration
from the legitimate State officials if they
continue to countenance any revolution
airy or mock government Nor will they
receive any.

ton thereof with the Attorney General, or
the prosecuting officer Of some adequate
jurisdiction; third, the penalty imposed
upon conviction for the statutory ofense
should be such as would impair the social
position of the offender. Republican as
we are, it is not clear to our mind that
such offenders against the majesty Of
popular criminals guilty of an at
tempt to 'seduce from their known duty
the officers entrusted with the seal of pub
lie credit and the sceptre Of public Law
should not be punished as in some of
those stern old communities where the
penalty is so marked on the person as to
be indelible. Some tatto on the cheek Of
public briber, which would let all men
note and be aware that the highest crime
against free government had been at
tempted This infamous practice of
buying votes to tax the toiIing
thousands of Louisiana has been
often prefaced with sumptuous enter
tainments, not Uncommonly with orgies
where iniquities were only tolerable when
concealed in elaborate and extravagant ele-
gance. If the hosts Of these gorgeous enter
tainment3 were like Tweed in the imminent
apprehension Of the stripes and bars of a
convicted felon, men having regard for
public estimation would hesitate to par
take of their feaSts or to share in their
disgrace. Such cappers and pimps Of
legislation could no more obtain access to
responsibility than can their unfortunate
brethren who have to scut from the corner
Of St. Charles street at the approach Of
policeman. Mr.. Hahn has struck the
right BLOWN the right place. and We hope
that to Republican Legislature will be
due the glory Of having redeemed Louisi-
ana from one chief cause Of her decline
and financial emba1Tassments.

THE WORK OF DEMAGOGUEs.

The teachings Of corrupt and incendiary
partisans begin to have their intended eff
feet The tabulated and so-called mem
bers Of the General Assembly having read
in the Times and other deceiving papers
that the orders Of the United States Cir
cult Court can be disobeyed with impu-
nifty, aye, even with credit to the trans
gressors, have set up a pretended LegiSla-
ture, in defiance Of the authority of Judge
Durell, and assumed to speak. enact laws,
contract debts, etc, in the name of the
State of LouisiaSa. Every man who as
sumes to be member of the Legislature
by virtue of any other authority than that
Of the returning board is not only an in
truder and an offender under the laws Of
this State, but is guilty Of fragrant con
tempt of the Circuit Court. With
these desperate and lawless schemes
for place and power, the man
dates Of United States judge are no
more regarded than would be the ad-
monitions of an old woman BY small
beginnings they have at length arrived at
a condition Of afrontery and hardihood
that nothing short of the strong hand
can restrain Or check them. So long as
their spite was shown merely in indecent
assaults upon the judge, and the counsel
opposed to them, they attracted no notice.
but now that they have deliberately done
those things which they were specially com
lnanded not to do have put into action the
incendiary teachings Of a corrupt journal,
and as it were, dared the court to do its
worst, it becomes high time to let them
feel the weight Of authority. It is a
theory Of our government that no man is
above the law, but that all, high and low,
good and bad, must bow to its mandates.
When arraigned before the bar to answer
for contempt, it viii not BE sufficient to
say that they were advised to their evil
courses by others. The counselor, the
newspaper, the stump speaker, or any
one else who advises people to disregard
an order OF court, is himself party to the
guilty acts, and is liable to punishment
as accessory along with the principal.
There are notorious advisers who have
openly condemned the authority Of the
federal judiciary. Inyocations to free
men, with souls in them have been made
mot to stand it. and we see the result in
the revolutionary and scandalous assem-
blage at the City Hall. 1t is high time
such proceedings, such open defiance of
lawful authority we're stopped, Words
are idle. Action is now in order, and we
very much mistake the temper OF those
charged with the duty Of administering
the laws in this circuit if that action is not
sudden and effectual.

-teney, that sends these thousands; and
of what value are they? They open farms,
build roads, raise focks and herds. create
manufactures, It is to these industrial
interests are due the military and political
power Of Indiana, and Ohio and Illinois.
The colonial land grants were made tc
noblemen and corporations. To these
were given provinces, Settlement and
progress was slow. The latter policy has
been to give to individuals, the land each
can cultivate. The resulthas been a rich
and populous empire. The wealth Of the
West is as much the growth Of industrial
industry as the ant hill and its galleries
are the work Of the feeble insects that toll
on its construction.
We wish to apply these observations.
The individual classes of New Orleans
need reasonable rents. Their taxation on
real estate should be reduced and capt
talists encouraged to erect more buildings.
This people need cheep food and fuel,
then no combination to raise the price OF
meats, vegetables or fruit should be toler-
ated by the rich and intelligent classes.
The people should be relieved against a
corner in any necessary of life, just as the
banks of Chicago and New York have dis
located tie plans Of the gold and corn
corners. The people Of New Orleans need
cheap and abundant water To the poor
Of New Orleans water may be considered
among the Injuries. The city purchased
the waterworks. 1t is then in the power
Of the city to supply and save from fire the
people and property of the suburbs. Itmay
be said it would not pay. Neither does
sending the postal service into the sage
plains Of Dakota pay, but to fail to DO SO
would pay much worse. The water sup
ply which viii tend to spread the city and
enhance its taxable values, will Pay like
the homestead OF the postal system, OF
the frontier defense which makes every
Indian killed cost 500, 600. Protect a
people; care for them; favor their honest
efforts to acquire q competency, and they
repay you a thousand fold. Cypress, grind
and neglect the1n-base all the profits OF
wealth upon exaction upon industry, and
the industrial classes pass into the lazza-
roni and brigands Of other lands. With
out urging it on grounds of Christian duty
or philanthropic impulse, it is plain that
there is no better investment for a man of
business or a property holder than to pro-
tect and encourage the industrial classes.
Their labor builds cities-their emigration
depopulates and destroys cities. Like
many other blessings We can only estimate
the value Of the industrial classes by its
loss.

INDUSTRIAL CLAssBs---THB1R VALUE

INDUSTRIAL CLASSBE---IhEIR VALUE
Our city has always made a great mis-
take in tine haste to be rich. The Brit
isb idea that the East Indies was a place
in which to amass a fortune rapidly, to be
spentin embellishing life somewhere else,
was long the business theory Of New Or
leans. The completeness of other cities
has now so reduced the rate Of business
profits here that one must dedicate a life
time to the acquisition Of competence
for himself and those who. are dependent
on him. In this point Of view our inter
ests are like those Of other cities Weneed
workingmen That class Of merchants
mechanics and laborers who accumulate
into wealth the economies of toll and in
relieving and raising themselves enrich
and enlarge the community to which they
belong. A widowed washerwoman may
rear and teach son. who, passing through
the subordinate employments ofcommerce,
may become an eminent and honored mer-
chant. The system of administration
which encourages labor and thrift by low
rents and taxes, cheap food, fuel and
abundant water, attracts thousands whose
aggregate power gives name and rank to
the cities they build. The system of al.
ministration which grants contracts and
monopolies, in any Of the elements Of sub
sistence, discourages and drives away these

RECALCITRANT MEMBERS.


To sustain its own dignity and self
respect, i behooves the General Assembly
to declare vacant the seats Of those mem
il either house who have so far for
gotten their duty and official oaths as to
participate in a revolutionary movement
against the State government.
In these days Of excitement, when mems
judgment is liable to become unhinged, it
may be the part Of wise forbearance to give
notice to the recalcitrant Of an intent to
take such action; but the notice should be
very brief indeed.
Five days notice is all that is necessary
to the ordering Of elections to fill yacan-
cies thus created.
