MODERATION AND IuSTIrE,

From the day when they cried, "Ccuci-
fy him: cruelty him." to that when the
miserable Modocs murdered the mission
aries Of peace, there has been no case in
which 81 abuse of local power has not
been expiated By heavy retaliation.
There is no true courage when one hun
dred set upon one for difference OF
religious faith or political opinion. His
tory is full of this intolerance. nor has Ii
been exhnguished in our OWE day and
country. There has been in New Orleans
persistent hostility against those who
differ from the local party in tie majority.
It can not BE- because of sectionaliam, since
this intUlarant sect numbers men OF all
sections. nor because the hated antag-
ou!Sts a.e new Corners, since two. At least

A DANGEROUS ERROR.

There is vague notion prevalent
among the Fusionists of this State that if
by any combination of circumstances the
existing State government could be over
thrown. the organization known to them
as the McEnery government would nat
urallv succeed to it. This is very palp-
able error. We are not like petty Ger
man State. claimed by dynasties, with
reversion to the successful revolutionists.
but part of the American nation. When
our laws are subyerted by force, as was
the case during the rebellion, the United
States naturally assumes the custody and
administers the government. And so it
would be again. Were such an event
possible as the subversion Of the State
government. it would be the duty of the
President to establish military govern
ment; with provisional officers, from the
Governor down TO police officers. In all
probability he would select Governor hel-
logg for the position. True. he might not
do so; but It is q matter OF absolute GER
tainty that he would not select any of the
hungry horde of officeseekers that have
been following the parti-colored banner
of the Fusionists during the past
six months. Not seedy aspirant
Of them all would be invited to accept the
places they so eagerly coTet; the tax re-
sisters would be asked once to come up
with their contributions. If they failed
to respond properly they would be visited
with unpleasant consequences. The
idler, would be set to work at some kind
Of honest employment. without regard
to their choice OF pursuits. Our people
have had sufficient experience under mil
itary rule to know that it is arbitrary and
inhexible. 1t is mild to the friends of the
government, but severe as arctic froSts to
its enemies. We have tried it il two
cases. First We had Confederate martial
law. followed by terror. uncertainty. con-
| fscation and CONSUMPTION. This was fol-
| lowed by General Butler, who was very
just, but scarcely popular. In either
case prompt, unquestioned obedience was
exacted. Our people, therefore, have the
option presented OF sustaining their OWL
government or having an administration
sent to them which they will he obligec
to obey. In no possible event. however
can the Tusionists come into possession
of the coveted offices before the genera
election in 1876. They may as well beal
thi, fact in mind and thereby save them
selve, mach trouble and better 2.en mucl
annoyance.

vicious men. Harmony came at last IN
power of the common government-came
from the conviction among citizens most
interested, that violence over a feeble
minority would be punished by superior
and irresistible authority. The States re-
ferred to are now quiet. Louisiana IS
going through precisely the same process.
It will have the same end. The federal
military authority will appear. OF course
there will be no resistance. for while intol-
erance will Cypress the weak it always
crouches to the strong. keep away
your federal troops said intolerance,
who are stronger than we. and we
will clean out those who are weaker than
ourselves" Bigotry WAS always a cow
ardly as it was cruel. We Will
see how they will end. Tie vio-
lent men who have abused their
local power will be arrested the world will
see that there has been systematic agita-
ton to terrify the colered people and drive
away their Republican leaders. It is to
be apprehended that many OF these men
concerned in acts of violence will expiate
their offenses at Albany. No one wishes
to see such extreme consequences, but the
federal administration vii! infallibly en-
force the laws. There is 4 stern determi-
nation to see the question decided, whether
an into,erant local majority shall agitate
at the expense of other local interests
until it shall be recognized as the ruling
power of the State. 1t may be foreseen
that this issue must be tried AZ the expense
Of social peace and prosperity. Wewould
put away this cup. but it is for the local
majority in New Orleans to decide for
themselves and for us. It may triumph
in temporary and local supremacy. bat it
will infallibly hear the slogan Of a coming
power that will punish those who abuse
their position. and protect the weak who
may have had to submit to arrogance and
Injustice.

A MUSHROOM HERO.

Booth il the hero of the present mo-
ment. He has the whole of one news
paper, in which he appears as the princi-
pal writer, aided by DR.. Worrall, and
fraction of another devoted to his interest,
in his futile attempt to resist the sovereign
will of the people Of this State. His ex-
PLOTS in attempting to incite revolution
to serve his ayarice are recited in rather
sloppy doggerel and paraded in nauseat-
ing couplets to be sung by the very peo
pie against whom he and his tax resisting
companions are arrayed in actual rebel
lion. He seems, however, to labor under
the mistaken notion that he is aiding the
cause of the people, yet he and his
advocates have not been able to set
forth very clearly how the pub
lie interest is to be served by
his refusal to pay his honest debts.
Or in what manner he is to apply the one
hundred dollars which he justly owes the
State treasury to better advantage to any
body except himself than by handing it
over 10 the State tax collector. Better
men than Mr.. Booth, DR.. Worrall or the
limited number of "our most respectable
citizens" who sent the latter to visit the
obstinate halter from Dublin. Cork or
Connaught 1--WE really do not know to
what part Of Ireland we are indebted for
the importation} we say. better nleu
than either or all OF these human atoms,
who are in the habit of looking upon
their own Importance through the toles-
cope and inverting It when turned upon
others, have paid their taxes and are pay
ing them every day under the conviction
that it is duty inseparable from good
citizenship to do SO.
Mr.. Booth has made his fight against.
not for the people. He is the defendant
in the case of the State Of Louisiana vs..
Booth. Governor Kellogg. As al indi-
yidual has 10 concern in the matter any
more than such as any good citizen feels
in the enforcement of the laws. As chief
executive, however. he represents the
sovereignty and power of the State. which
he must sustain. or cease to be Is Cover
nor. The court. whose decree Mr.. Booth
conforms, and for which he has been
very Justly, though rather lightly pun
ished. is not presided over by Kellogg
iudge-we have no such iudges-bus by a
peoples Judge. an officer OF justice. who
has been appointed by the proprietors OF
this State, and one whom we are proud to
know as worthy Of the trust -eposed in
him. He has simply disregarded the
buster of the mushroom hero, and made
him an example for all those who dare
raise their puny arms against orr be-
| loved State.
Let him make the most Of his self
imposed "martyrdom. Let him vent his
spleen in whole columns of egotistical
rant through the columns of the Pica3rtne.
Neither Governor Kellogg, Judge Haw'
kins. nor anybody else Of the slightest
consequence care straw for his individ-
ual opinions. Or object to any mode OF
advertising his Northern wares he may
choose to adopt. But they are bound by
their oath of Office to see to it that he
obeys our laws so long as he makes our
State his home.
