GRAPHIC SCENE.

From the New Orleans Times

From the New Orleans Times.
AS repulsive and disgusting as
have for years been all circum-
stances connected with our State
House, 1t has remained for the
opening of the session Of 1872 to
show how low has been brought
that dignity which in other States
and countries is considered insep-
arabic from Legislative bodies. In
timations having gone forth on
yesterday that the row between the
Carter-ites and Clarifies would ter

Parties in the Legislature.

The prospect of reformatory legsla-
ton has Visibly frightened since the as
semblng Of the Legislature. The Rad
ical wing opposed to the present ad-
ninistratiOn of our State government
not only declares itself, in the most en-
phatic manner, in favor of the repeal of
the obnoxious laws which have been en-
acted to aggrandize and autocratize the
State Executive it not only has care
full prepared bills to sweep from the
statute books such infamies as the cleo
ton, the militia, the metropolitan po-
lice, and other acts of like character and
import, but it is obviously the interest
and sound policy of that party to carry
through these several reforms without
regard to other political consequences.
1t is clearly, too, the policy and duty of
the Democratic and Conservative mem
bers of the Legislature to give their
support to such measures, and to COM
pine with any party and body to effect
shat end.
These several laws render our State
Executive the most absolute govern
n1ent on this continent. They install
personal and party tyranny which is in |
violent conflict with the cardinal prin-
ciples of republicanism, and an outrage |
UPON popular rights and government. |
They centre the whole substantial po-
liticnl power of the State in a single |
man, There is no party end that will
weigh feather in the scales against the
prime necessity of uprooting all this
legislation which has brought such evils
and disgrace upon the State. We must
have this reform at any and every cost.
All who stand in the way of it must be
crushed and thrown aside. New Or
leans Times.

against The extravaganza Of the LegisIa

the State, iniunctions against the pay.
ment of the warrants which have been
so reeklessly issued to pay members and
officers of that body. The report of the
experts, already published by us, ex-
poses the stupendous character Of these
fraudulent issues. We learn that accord
ing to authentic estimates and reports,
it has been discovered that each mem
Der of the Legislature, at the last ses-
sion, received an average of one hun
dred and twenty-five dollars per day for
his services. This monstrous fraud and
villaihy would justify almost any meas
ure of resistance on the part Of an OPP
pressed and cheated people,
1t is, however, within tho power of
the Governor to arrest and prevent the
continuance of this system of remorse-
less plumber. He will and ought to be
supported by the people in every effort
in that direction. ..... ..
But let him not stop here. Let the
same effective measures be employed
against other officers, and parties, who
are abusing public trusts to Cypress, i'm
poverish and tavage this State and peo-
pie. There is an immense swarth for
the pruning knife. Both wings of the
party need it. .....
In every direction the State is robbed. |
It bleeds at every pore: The remedy
must be applied to the whole body. The
Governor must use the tourniquet wher-
ever there is a fssure, wherever the pa
ient is losing blood. Political and per-
'onal friends must be sacrificed to the.
salvation of the State, It won't do to
employ the stale trick of amusing the
people by partial reform, an assault
lpon few abuses, and a crusade against
he misdOings of our political foes.
If whOle-hearted and sincere, we must
include in our sweep those of our own
'aIty and circle. In fact, if there is any
ropriety in recognizing party obliga-
ions in such matter, the obligation to
rOscribe and punish the rascals and s

Police Outragess

An experience of Hi6f9 than two
years of the Metropolitan Police
system has convinced every OBJ
servant citizen that in no six OF
seven hundred men, selected from
any class out Of the Penitentiary,
can there be found SO many, dan.
gerous to the public peace as there
are on the police of this city,
There was, originally, a considera-
bic minority Of the force, composed
of old citizens who were well be-
hoved and performed their duties,
respectfully and considerably, and
some still remain, but they were
not Of the sort of men who were
wanted, and they are being fast
got rid of.
In all christendom, under the
most absolute governments, such a
police as New Orleans is cursed
with, existed nowhere else. They
are domineering, they are insolent,
they are cruel, they are rufianly,
and they are worthless for any
good purpose. They beat drunken
nen to death they shoot at the
people on the streets as if they
we're wild beasts; they club men,
lick and pistol them without iusti-
ication. Without cause they lay
heir hands upon respectable oiti-
ems upon The public thoroughfares
r in public Offices. At night they
'ill' drag gentlemen into lock-ups,
'ithout any excuse, and imprison
hem with vagabonds, thieves and
arTldans. All these OhtrageS to
ratify their malice against the de-
emit population of the city. We
