TIE GRAND JURY OUTRAGE,

The stupid political attack upon Gov
ernor Warmoth by. the grand jury $50
called, contained in its silly and untruth-
ful report upon the We'll claim, is not the
least alarming outgrowth Of the late
trouble. The jury itself is an illegal body,
the creation of Judge who, from the re-
lease of the red-handed rioters of 1866 to
the enlargement of the men accused of the
assassination of Wheyland, has proven a
potent shield to the murderers of Repub-
licanS.
On unfounded and anonymous charges,
without attempt at investigation or show
ing of proof, Judge Abel srlmmarily dis
missed grand jury in mid-term, whose
members were fearlessly and earnestly
discharging their duties, and the existing
body succeeded. What has been the re-
suit? For the twenty days of their power
criminals Of all degrees have felt entire
immunity from Indictment, while what
ever would make a partisan point against
the Governor and his friends that was
presented to their attention has been
pursued with vigor and determination as
remarkable as the concurrent lack of de-
cency, discretion and sense of justice.
Surely, the Legislature is not going to
let so dangerous an example, right under
its eyes, go unnoticed. What has become
of the committee appointed some two
weeks ago? Is one man to determine who
shall be brought to bar and who go free
what offenses punished and what crimes
remain unwhipt of justice? The liberties
of every individual member of the COM
munity are jeopardized by the present
state of things, and we call for prompt and
relief. Let the endeavor be made
to at least keep this fountain of justice
out of the control Of political tricksters.

DEPAMING AND pEFRAuD.

One of the peculiarities of the political
discussion which the Democratic press
and its allies of the conservative persua-
sion are carrying on at present is that they
confine their denunciation to Governor
Warmoth exclusively, without referring to
the general evils that exist in the eommu-
nifty: 1t is true that they refer to certain
measures, such as the election, registra-
ton, constabulary, Metropolitan Police
and printing laws as arbitrary and I'M
wholesome; but outside of these their eff
| forts, for we can not call them arguments,
are limited to an unspairiDg abuse of the
| Governor in his official as well as in his
private relations. But little regard is paid
| to logic or truth in these attacks, the plan
being to use all the scandal possible that
the falsehood which is not denied may be
| taken as admitted. AS an instance, the
charge it made that the Governor holds
the blank designations of all his ap-
pointees, which being disproved, the au-
thors OF the statement still persist in re-
peatinS it, confident that they can make
some capital with the ignorant out of this
plain untruth. As another instance, the
charge is published that the Cover
nor manipulated the election returns,
which being rebutted as wholly
unfounded in the very nature of things,
the story is still circulated as truth by
those who know better and who profess to
have no other object than to see the truth
established and justice maintained. We
submit if the papers that commit these
offenses specifically are not publishing
themselves as unworthy OF credit gen
orally. If they have an object to gain that
necessitates the use of one falsehood will
they not endeavor to succeed by the man
utacture of two more? And if their en-
nifty is personal to an officer who has az
rested corrupt legislation, and general as
against the legislation itself, may we not
suspect that their inclination against the
man is founded in some measure upon
their prediction for the measures which
he arrested. What would be thought of a
big rough who assailed an officer for ar
resting receiver OF stolen goods? Men
who are interested in the lobby are not the |
parties that ought to be charged with pros
ecuting the enemy of the lobby; and the |
papers that fail to caution the Legislature
against corrupt measures ought not to be
credited a., honest when they revile the
Governor for vetoing and defeating the
lniquities that the lobby engineers to a
success. This is the way it looks to Us, at |
least.

A VERY UNSELFISH POLITICIAN.

A point Of departure occurs between
| Governor Warmoth and Postmaster Low
ell as to when the dissa tisfaction first set
| in between them. The Governor suggests
that it originated when he vetoed the Ship
Island bill, which was such an iniqlity
that 1t died OF popular strangulation.
Mr.. Lowell says that it could not have
originated in that, as he had the honor to
eat breakfast with the Governor after the
veto had been delivered. This proves
nothing. Better men than the Postmaster
have broken bread with men they disliked
for the special purpose Of abusing the
very hospitality which they tasted 1t
would have been singular if Mr.. Lowell
had admitted that his enmity originated
us the Governor conjectured, but the CEN
serious world will say that the conjecture
was a far more reasonable explanation of
the animosity than the one which the post
master gave. A positive injury is always
accepted as better excuse for personal
about an abstract political question re-
!atirg entirely to third parties, and when
the postmaster suggests that he forgave
The wound inflicted upon his own pocket,
and resented the doubtful benefit that was
refused to a stranger, he taxes human
credulitv beyond its capacity.
blr. c. W. Lowell, who is a kind of bill
ious subject at any and all times, confesses
to his participation in the Ship Island bill,
ana in the same breath seeks to impeach
thes good faith of the very officer who
vetoed that gigantic fraud. 1t would
do the committee good to have convey
ance, and allow it to investigate the soil
tary spadefull of dirt that the Ship Island |
Company cast up as a monument of its
Executive ability somewhere near the upper
limits Of she city of Carrollton. Mr.. Low
II might be selected as the cicerone Of the

excursion. Coming home, he could show
the committee the building in the Sixth
District where the Ship Island Company
engineered municipal Endorsement out Of
the City of Jefferson upon four hundred
thousand dollars worth of bonds for an
imaginary canal on Napoleon avenue And
he might relate how the Endorsement was
never made effective, owing to the fact that
the city fathers wanted the work done be-
fore the bonds We're signed. At this point
there might be such d judicious use of pa
thetic reproaches thata supply of bandanas
would be found useful.

Street rumor affirms that the investigat-
ing committee is discussing the propriety
of closing its labors When committee
like the one which is now holding its ses-
sions in this city was sent to New York to
investigate affairs in that community, it
discovered Irregularities in the federal
customhouse at that point of such a nature
that astonished it into going back to Wash
ingtOn. Is sour committee afraid that
like result will follow its researches into
the transactions of the New Orleans Gus
tomhouse? And does itintend to adjourn
without exploring after the very wrongs
which it was expected to expose and report
against?

WHO REPRESENTS GRANT

A prominent member of the Democratic
State Committee yesterday, with an
etfrontry that would be refreshing did we
not know his clique has absorbed the
Customhouse officials, body, boots and
breeches, declared his fears that 1--WE will
not be able to save Packard, but hope to
control the appointment of his successor"
He went on to detail the Democratic plan
of campaign, and, by the employment of
the ku-klux and enforcement bills, as
serted the ability of his party to carry the
State next November. How the laws re-
ferred to can be distorted from their
proper purposes is shown by the arrest of
the Governor and members of the Legis-
lature during the recent attempt at revo-
luton.
But the point we desire to make here,
and to which we direct the special atten-
ton OF our party, is the boast conveyed in
these utterances that the Democrats of
Louisiana can control the appointees of
a Republican President in the work of
overthrowing Republican State govern
ment We do not believe the Democratic
party can carry the State, or that its State
committee can carry President Grant into
cooperation with their plots; but that
they hope and believe so is pretty evident.
Who led them into this hope and belief
but the federal officials with whom they
are in league, and who claim the right to
spea4 for the administration And yet
surprise is expressed that Republicans
can be found here who are not ''for
Grant"

According to the editor of the Bee Gov
ernor Warmoth was uneasy before the
committee, and writhed under tie exam
nation instituted by Mr. Speer. Accord
ing to the reporter of the Times the Gov
ernor was supercilious. According to the
PicaWtne he was candid in the extreme.
AS the latter organ speaks in the name of
two hundred and fifty editors, the prepon-
derance of witnesses is certainly in it's
favor; and as the printed record bears
upon its face the quality of honesty and
candor, the judgment of the court is that
the Bee only suggested what its editor
hoped for, and not what occurred
