THE SONG OF THE COOL CASHIER.

He sat like rock in the prison lock.
A slender man and young,
With jaunty air 0fdevil-may-care,
And this is the song he sung:
"Oh, / am a fool and q cashier cool,
And President and Board,
And guardian strict and derelict.
And, perhaps, u first-class fraud"
But il may not be, said to he.
That you can include all these.
Tell then, pray, what you mean to say,
And he answered: IF you please,
my song is clear: was sole cashier,
And simply had to fool
The President, to the top of his bent,
While seized the entire rule.
"Then Ieammoned the Board. old fogy horde,
And put them out in the cold
And drew my checks, and made my specs,
Till the Bank was done and sold.
"And so, as you hear. L IN a cool cashier,
And President. and all M
The file and rank that ran tho Bank,
And ran il 10 its fall.
" But little care; I'm debonnaire,
For haven't a cent to show.
And the Bank is bust and I'm b ere on
trust = .l
It's the jolliest lark know!"

FURTHER RECOGNITION n

FURTHER RECOGNITION NOT
NEEDED.-It gave the fusionists
great comfort to he told that Con-
gress would not recognize the KEEL
lOgg government. They do not feel
80 comfortable, however, since they
have discovered that all the necessa-
ry recognition has already been
rendered. 1t is not usual, we believe,
for parties to be continually recog-
nizing those they have once admit
ed to their association. MIR. Kellogg
has established quite enough of an
intimacy with the federal authorities
to warrant HMM believing that they
will respond to all his demands,
which is a matter the Picdyune is in
no doubt about, since it is constantly
calling upon the President to with
draw his bayonets. The expense OF
telegraphing fusion news is one that
does not pay. for the gettersdip Of

put it together so as to make it wear

THE MoNEYED Classic is
worthy of remark that while the
Republican party and its adherents
are abused for their poverty and
ignorance, they are really the princi-
pal distributors of wealth and the
main upholders of education in the
State. Take the mass of the tie
publican party out of the State and
more than two thirds of the industri-
al enterprises of the community
would stop work; and more stores,
corner groceries and'speciai occupa-
tons would close up. than would
remain open. The truth is, the Re-
2ublicans are the men who earn
most of the honest money in this
State and spend it here. There are
some men in the party who are ex-
ceptiOnR to this remark, bit as a
rule the labor ofthe community is i'm
the hands ofindustrious Republicans
and SO are the wages. 1t is the rich
and well to do that are pinched at
present, because they will not con-
sent to accept the situation. They
refuse the patronage and. friendship
of the people who really earn and
control the floating capital of the
community. As this works no-par.
ticular injury to the class that else
where has the least money, while it
does the most labor, we do not see
why any Republican has any cause
70. make himself unhappy about it.
We can not alter it, and We should
hesitate to do so if we could; there
fore, the best thing for us to do is to
allow the laboring people to have
the most money, while the exclu-
sives are cramped because they will
insist~on being better than the bal
ancc. ofmankind.-T ". o. Republican.

Morgan vs.. Kennard.

In the case of Z. ii. Morgan, APP.
pointed an associate judge of the
Supreme Court of Louisiana, by
Governor Pinchback, VS.. j. ii.
Kennard, appointed by Governor
Warmoth to TIE same Office, the
Supreme Court has lately decided
in favor Of Morgan.
In considering the two points
raised blythe Attorney General, it
became necessary for the conrt to
pass upon the constitutional right
of the Lieutenant Governor to ex-
ercise executive functions upon the
suspension of Warmoth, and they
promptly decided that such a right
existed unquestionably. Chief JUS
tice Ludeling, in delivering tie
opinion of the court, uses the fol.
lowing plain, unambiguous Ian
guage:
Was he (Pinchbach) acting Gov.
ernor of the State! We have no
doubt of the fact. He was elected
President of the Senate in Deem
Ter. 1871, after the death of Lieuten-
ant Governor Dunn. AS such he
became Lieutenant Governor dur
ing the unexpired term Of Oscar j
Dunn. Section 1860 OF the Digest
of the Statutes of this State pro-
vides that Sin case Ofthe vacancy
in the office of Governor, the Lieu
tenant Governor shall be Governor.
In case OF vacancy in the Office of
Lieutenant Governor, the Senate
shall elect a President, rho shall be
Lieutenant Gorernor.'
The law docs not say, during his
senatorial term, "but that he shall
be Lieutenant Governor Ii the
Governor had died OF resigned the
day after, the Lieutenant Governor
would have become Governor.
Can it be,preteISled that, under
these circumstances, the Office of
Governor would have become va
cant by the expiration of the term
for which p. Ii. 8. Pinchbaek had
been elected a Senator ! We think
not. lie was Lieutenant Governor
when Governor WarmOth was i'm
peached by the House of Represen-
tative. During his impeachment
the Governor was suspended, and
the ''pOwers and duties of the Office
devolved upon the Lieutenant Gov
ernUr.
The second allegation Of Morgan,
that he was confirmed By the Sen
ate of Louisiana, is accepted 10y the
Chief Justice as legal averment,
not only Us to the fact that the con
frmation took place as stated
(Which, however, has never been
questioned1, but also as to the dis.
puted point whether the Senate is a
legally constituted body. Judge
Ludeling says:
Was the Senate which confirmed
i. III. Morgan the Senate OF the
State of Louisiana !?
1t was composed of persons re-
turned as elected to the Secretary
Of State by the returning officers
recognized 10y this court TO be the
legal returning officers at the late
election. Constitution, art. Az.
Though we have not the power
to decide who are,the. members of
tile General Assembly, yet we, az
judges, are bound to know what as.
sembly OF nen constitute. the Stare
Legislature, for we arc boudd to
know what are the laws ofthe State,
in order to adjudicate upon the
rights OF litigants under the law.
We are of opinion, therefore, that
r. III. Morgan was duly appointed
and confirmed Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court, vice w. w.
Howe, resigned.
