SOME OLD WHISKY LEFT,

A firm Of liquor dealers in Louisville
where the principal beverage of the popu-
lation is said to be whisky, attempted to
make speculation last week by employ
ing the telegraph to report throughout the
country that it had invested three millions
of dollars in buying up all the old whisky
in the United States. This raised ter
ri5le commotion from one end of the Ohio
river to the other and through all the
countries adjacent thereto Cincinnati
rushed into the public papers with fiat
denial of the telegraphic report, and rolled
out barrel upon barrel of the precious
fluid. st. Louis opened her cellar doors
to exhibit to the agitated public that there
was healthy supply Of the venerable
stimulant in her own hands to intoxicate
half of the West for the next five Years.
Chicago avouched that she had all the
whisky her bibulous population needed.
New York advertises vast reserve of the
precious distillation. In fact, every town
and village i'll the West is pushing out
notices that it is supplied and can afford
to accommodate those that are not so IN
fortunate. All the world has been heard
from, except New Orleans. Have we any
old whisky among us, or did Louisville
clean our dealers out?

A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT.

In 1874, Walter Hickey, editor of the
Vicksburg Sentinel, published an article
rejecting severely on the official conduct
of Judge Coulter, of the Circuit Court of
Mississippi. Judge Coulter caused him
to be arrested and sentenced, if we remem-
Der correctly, to be imprisoned for con-
tempt for six months, and to pay fine of
five hundred dollars. A pardon was
granted by Governor A. G. Brown, at the
request Of leading citizens,' and the
sheriff released Hickey. Judge Coulter
Immediately caused his re-arrest. A writ
of habeas corpus was then issued by Mr..
Justice Thatcher, Of the High Court of
Errors and Appeals, and, after an elabor-
ate argument, that learned judge decided,
upon numerous authorities, that the par
don was effective, and that Hickey must
be released. The case is reported in
Smedes and Marshall, and is referred to
as an authority in Archbold, and in Bishop
on Criminal Law
In referring to this case in his recent
decision in the case of Van Norden, the
venerable Judge Taliaferro alluded to the
fact that the court was presided over by
Chief Justice Sharkey," but did not say,
nor intend to say, that Sharkey delivered
the opinion He alluded also to the
opinion as the opinion Of ''the court, but
this was slip Of the pen, which he imme-
dlately corrected, before the opinion was
finally filed for record, on the ninth in
slant.
The reporter of the Picayune stated, er-
roneously, though III good faith, no doubt,
that Judge Taliaferro had ascribed the
opinion to Sharkey. AS stated already,
Judge Sharkey was merely alluded to as
then chief justice of the court
Now, on the strength of these very
simple facts, the Picay4ne undertakes to
fling its filth at Judge Taliaferro, a noble
old man. whose name and fame have been

TIE POLITICAL ISSUES.

The document put forth as the "Ad-
dress Of the Provisional State Central
Committee of the Reform party is in
many respects singular paper. 1t pur-
poses to inaugurate political campaign
without defining any policy or setting up
specific principles. In this it is vague, IN
definite and purposeless.
The address sets out with the startling
declaration that "a crisis has been reached
in the affairs Of the State" What crisis !?
What is the nature of it, and what are its
characteristics It is not to be ascertained
from this paper, nor in any previous pub

On TIE RIGHT TRACK,

The TINES very pertinently suggests
that if the merchants Of New Orleans
would cease paying money to defend alb
stract reform theories as, for example, the
squandering Of one hundred thousand
dollars to establish picayune newspaper
and contribute it to building a railroad
from Trenton, on Ouachita, to Fulton, on
Red river, the prosperity and wealth of
this city would be assured. By reducing
commissions, interest and current charges
of all sorts connected with trade and in
vesting in such enterprises as the one
above indicated, this can be made one Of the
richest and most fourishing communities
on the globe. This is the kind of reform
We want, as the Fifty-oners, after their

THE GRAVE JUDICIAL MISTAKE"

THE GRAVE JUDICIAL MISTAKE"
The Picayune assumes that Judge Ialla-
ferro made a grave judicial mistake
when he rendered a decision adverse 10
Judge Cooley in the Van Norden case
The reason for this assumption that 1.-THE
members of the legal profession say so.
Does the Picayune mean to assert that
it has obtained the deliberate opinion, IN
definite form and shape, Of all the law
yers Of this city? If it has not done so,
what epithet should characterize the state
ment of the P;cayne? Has it not sought
to mislead the public, and given express
sion to that which it can not sustain?
The best legal opinion in the State (and
we say this advisedly) hold that Judge
Cooley had no right to fine Mr.. Van Nor
den for contempt at all He was not be-
fore Judge Cooley's court in the condition
of culprit. The writ of sequestratlon
was addressed to the Sheriff, and not
Mr.. Van Norden. 1t commanded the
Sheriff to produce the box IN
court; it did not command Mr.. Van
Norden. Judge Cooley, therefore, had no
jurisdiction whatever over the person OF
Mr.. Van Norden His assumption of the
right to fine and imprison him was unau-
thorized in law and without precedent to
sustain it.
It will take something more than the va
carries of an unlearned and volatile news
paper to justify Judge Cooley before the
proper tribunal.

The lecture of Rev. Father Hegarty, in
St. Johns Church, Dryades street, Sunday
night, was an Instructive vindication of
Ireland from the calumnies with which the
old country had been assailed, inasmuch as
nroofs we're given by lengthy historical
references Of both the grandeur and glory
Of Hibernia. He spoke OF those days When
her soil was the home OF saints anu learned
men. when she sent forth missionaries to
carry Christianity into all European coun-
tries: when her noted men were displaying
the arts and sciences ip the foremost courts
of Europe, while another band OF lrlshinen
were planting the banner OF the cross
Dwelling upon this theme, the outlines only
of which we have given, the lecturer drew
feeling picture of the wrongs and calami-
ties suffered by the people, and closed In a
fitting tribute to the land which, by Ills OWL
lecture, needed 10 apology whatsoever

THAT RECOGNITION"


We naturally supposed the displayed
headlines and bombastic editorials Of the
Citizens Guard, over the letter Marshal
Packard got from the secretary of the ma
tional committee, entirely too thin to be
worthy of notice. But it seems that few
uncertain Republicans, who fail in defining
why and wherefore they are Republicans,
assume this letter to be an authorization
for the Customhouse-Dem clique to
take control OF the Republican organization
in Louisiana, and conduct its affairs to
their liking.
Never was there a greater misconcep-
ton, or We should not be compelled to
write this article. The Republican party
of Louisiana, which recognizes and is con-
trolled by the State committee, Of which
Governor Pinchback is president, and to
which seventy-fve of the ninety thousand
Republican voters in this State acknowledge
allegiance, depends on no such weak de-
vices for power and support. Ever since
August last, and without display the Off
GERS of this committee have been
recognized in precisely the same manner
that the Customhouse committee now
gloat over, on receipt of their first
official communication. The simple
address Of a letter by a secretary,
pending formal action by the committee,
constitutes no recognition or authority
such as to justify the extravagant assump-
tons of the Customhouse clique; or the
regular committee, appointed at the Tur-
ner Hall convention, could fairly have
laid claim to such distinction as far back
as the thirty-first of August last, the
date Of their first official letter from the
national committee. Knowing their
strong hold on the popular heart and the
justice Of their claim to the sup rene au-
thority in the Republican party of Louis
lana, this committee has never considered
it necessary to make public its correspond
ence. Only very weak cause requires
such boIstering When the national COM
mittee takes formal action on the subject
Of our local differences, and declares that
the federal officeholders constitute the Re
publican party of Louisiana, the Citizens
Guard and its strikers may jubilate with
cause. Until that time, at least, the peo-
pie will assume the privilege of selecting
their own leaders.

According to the Memphis Appeal the
convention representing the colored peo-
pie Of the United States, which is to be
held at an early day in New Orleans, for
the purpose of considering the social and
political condition of the colored race,
Will have for its specific purpose the
design to force General Grants friends to
give Mr.. Frederick Douglass the nomina-
ton for Vice President. This announce
ment is made by Democratic newspaper,
and is, therefore, perfectly reliable, for
what the Democrats do not know about
the designs and hopes of the colored peo-
pie is not worth knowingly any Demo-
crat. As general rule, however, We
must say to the appeal that the negroes
take but little stock in the enterprise of
forcing candidates upon their friends.
They generally submit, like sensible men,
to the judgment of the majority.

The Hon. Joseph Howe, of the Cana
dian Parliament, has recently uttered some
very severe things against the British gov
eminent because the English troops are to
be withdrawn from the province. What
does Mr.. Howe want with British troops
in Canada? They can not protect the
province from the United States, and
there is no other power that the Cana
dams pretend to stand in fear of. The
British government will act very judicious-
ly when it withdraws its soldiers from
Canada, for they are nothing but an eX-
pensive ornament in the province, while
they might be made Very serviceable in
protecting the interests Of England i'll the
East Indies. Their presence in Canada

cans, if it ever comes to question Of our

they are merely an expense as defenders
Of the province from the only State that
can ever succeed to the English in the

another reason, that the United States
and England can settle their disputes
without calling in the soldiers.

dear to Louisiana for half century, and
who is Of more value than regiment OF
such scribblers as sling their ink III the
calico organ.
1t is not, however, for the purpose OF de-
Tending Judge Taliaferro that we allude to
this matter He sits so far above the editors
Of the Picayene that the mud they throw
can never reach him. But we merely wish
to call serious attention to the doctrines
enunciated in the last article of the Plea
yune on this subject. It declares that
Judge Thatcher's opinion was Of no value,
and that Hickey ought net to have been,
released. In other words, it declares that
any district judge may lock up any editor,
for any time, and impose any fine on him,
and that neither the Governor, by pardon,
nor the Supreme Court, by any process,
can release that editor. To such pass
can malice lead q journal
If, therefore, Judge Dibble, who has
been repeatedly insulted by the Picayune,
should conclude to lock up its proprietors
and editors, as Walter Hickey was locked
up, they could have no complaint to make
He would smilingly commend to them a
perusal Of their own opinions, and say:
Gentlemen, there is no help for you.
Thatcher was all wrong. The judiciary
must not be Stabbed and you must 60

Your summer months to stay.
The Governor can't help you-the SUI
preme Court can't help you Go along"
We beg to ask, in all earnestness, if such
doctrines as those thus passionately enun-
ciated by the Picnyatne are not destructive
of the simplest rights of personal liberty
and the freedom of the press? The arti-
Gle written by Mr.. Hickeyin the Sentinel
was not whit more severe than that
written by the Picayune in reference to
Judge Taliaferro. Yet the Picnyue de-
clares, in it's short-sighted wrath, that
Judge Taliaferro has right to lock up its
editors, and that no earthly power could
legally release them

TOO HIGH AN ESTIMATE.

Our attention has been called bya friend
to an unintentional error committed the
other day in brief statement Of the
amount allowed by the State Auditor for
the expenses Of his Office. We then footed
it up at $4,000 per annum, when it only
amounts to S23, 800, as follows:
Eleven clerks at $500 each. ........s... 1890
Contingent expenses ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 1900
TOCal... SLJ,ouo
Last year the contingent appropriation
was $4,000, which was little enough, when
we consider that the Auditor is required
to send books, blanks, circulars, ETC., to
every tax assessor in the State, provide his
Office with stationery, gas, coal and fur
niture, and defray the illimitable expenses
Of large Office No provision is made
for messenger, nor for the rent of his
Office in this estimate The latter is, how
ever, provided for elsewhere. Altogether,
the reduction in expenses amounts to
$3.50, besides the fees of office which
have heretofore been paid to Democratic
Auditors.
