NO MORE FILIBUSTERING

The 1Jnes-the ''brains and capacity
nes-endeayored to get up sensation
because few more than the usual number
of dodgers obtained quarters at the city
lookup during the recent cold snap. a
raid on Cuba or fiibuster expedition INTO
Mexico was the least the vivid Imagination
of its editor could see in this ordinary
event.
Of course it had an indirect fling at the
United States authorities in its narration
of this pretended discovery; but we can
confidently assure our contemporary that
this is as undeserved, so far as regards the
district attorney and marshal, as Its
naturally implied censre Of the Spanish
and Mexican representatives here. Had
there been contemplated a movement OF
the kind indicated by the Times, the
United States authorities would have
promptly checked it, else would they
have promptly heard from the local con-
sular representatives Of the countries
threatened. If the nation moves or per-
mits a movement in the direction indl-
Gated it will be with a full recognition OF
the obligations entailed by the recently
consummated treaties.

A REFORM THAT Is NEEDED.

1t costs fully twelve dollars to transfer
a piece of real estate in New Orleans, no
matter what the price of the purchase may
be. The notary charges ten dollars, and
more. This sum has been paid over and
over again in transfers where the value OF
the land did not exceed one hundred dol
lars. Such eXtortionate charges as these
merely destroy the negotiability OF landed
property, because the poor are as often
staggered from their desire to secure
homestead by the expenses Of the pur-
chase as by the purchase itself. A
protest executed upon note is
charged for at the rate Of five and
six dollars. IN the West, where fees
are rather liberal because the country
is new and the people unsettled and in
different, it only costs three dollars to
protest a note, and five dollars to execute
an entire transfer of real estate. If we had
less to pay for buying houses and lots we
might buy and sell more Of tLem; but
when a poor man secures the price of
lot, the price to be paid in a series Of
notes, and finds that the cost Of COM
mencing the Investment will amount to
more than the first payment on bis pur-
chase be is either retarded in his trade OF
is disguised with its incidentals. There is
great room for reform in this business,
both at the suggestion Of the Legislature
and upon the voluntary motion Of the
Iotarics in modifying their rates.

WHAT Is EXPECTED OF CONGRESS-.

The Pjcdyune appears to be alarmed
lest Congress will shirk its duty in the
Louisiana mater. 1t has done its best
in its feebly irritating way, to show that
case may be presented, the decision of
which will solve the whole problem. In
its issue Of yesterday it has the following
In our last issue we endeavOred to shsw
that the Congress Of the United States
could not escape the responsibility of
| either supporting President Grant and his
military despotism in Louisiana, or of re-
pudiating it in consequence of the two
clauses in the constitution of the United
| States-the one declaring that leach house
shall Judge of the elections, returns and
qualifications Of its members" and the
other, that "the President of the Senate
shall. in the presence Of the Senate and
House of Representatives, open all the
certificates for the election of the Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States, and the votes shall then be counted"
Now, the only thing We can object to in
the above extract is the obvious implica-
ton that for some reason or another the
Congress will attempt to dodge the issue;
that when any question is presented to
either house of the national Legislature,
in which our affairs are involved, there
will be such a cowardly sinking of duty
that no positive conclusion will ever be
reached. We can see no reason for any
such fears. Congress is entitled to the
presumption that it will do its duty in
this matter, without regard 10 any fears
the members may entertain Of the result.
The Republican party Of this State are en-
tirely willing to accept the arbitrator, and
abide by the decision. 1t has already ap
pealed to the courts of Louisiana and to
the United States court for this district
1t has laid its case also before the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet, and in each
case the decision has been in
our favor We have no fears
that Congress will decide otherwise or
fear to decide promptly. It is the arbitra-
tor of all others to which the Republican
can look with the greatest confidence.
We invite, aye, even welcome the inter-
position. And whatever the decision
may be, tie Republican, who is loyal,
will cheerfully abide by it. Can our
enemies, who are not, say as much?
Viii they, after having been driven from
court to Cabinet, and from Cabinet to
Congress, after they have been defeated
in all, and finally condemned to be in
the wrong, quietly acquiesce, or will
they keep up their agitation by the in
vention of new forms of contention?
The Picayme is laboring under the false
impression that the Republican party has
to keep hidden from the public
eye. This is a mistake. We have nothing
to conceal. All our acts have been done
openly and frankly explained. We are
engaged in no dark conspiracy against our
whether they are natives Of
the North, of the South or of Europe. The
majority Of our party are natives Of this
State. A majority of the fusionists are not;
they are Adventures from other States,
who set up a claim to sovereignty here.
This claim can not be allowed. It is not
recognized here, and it can not be recog-
nized in Congress

QUESTION FOR THE UNHAPPY,

If the Republican party is to run
away to its ''dens in the North" before
the awakened fury of the PicoyNne and its
disconnected cohorts, who is to make the
cotton and the sugar? There will be
hungry and destitute land left to the
State authorities when the Republicans
are drivenUut of Louisiana, to make room
for the excessive superiority of the Dem
ocrats who occupy our palaces by virtue
Of some shrewdness in working negroes
that their fathers had.

banded together with the avowed object
of obstructing the machinery of govern
ment as far as in them lies, bolstering each
other up in wrong doing, and valnly trying
by force of numbers to make that which Is
wrong seem right Others are bent upon
the still greater wrong Of defeating the
will of the ma ority in the selection of our
State officers; and in order to carry their
point are sacrificing the commercial well
fare Of the State, hindering business,
alenatirg capital, discoUraging immigra-
ton. Would it not be well for these
headstrong agitators to embrace this sea-
son Of reflection to examine into
their conduct and detect, if not utterly
blinded by prejudice and self-interest, the
error of their ways, to resolve to reform
them altogether, and instead Of keeping
up the unwholesome agitation which is
blighting the prospects of this sorely tried
people, to give their influence heartily to
the cause of good government, salutary re-
forms, internal Improvements, the extern
sion of commercial facilities, the lettering
of the condition of our city and citizens
generally by the p.ompt paying of their
| taxes, and in every other suitable way up
holding the State and city government?
We hear much grumbling at the wicked
ness Of the times; but if each grumbler
would put himself completely in the right,
or as nearly SO as possible, he would con-
tribute just so much toward the reforming
of society This is good day upon which
| to turn over a new leaf
