CURRENT ERRORS.

The Washington agent of the Associ-
ated Press pretends to believe that it is
: currently believed Throughout the country
that Judge Dureu is addicted to intem-
perance. AS he and his familiars in New
Orleans have spread this slanderous re-
port on no better authority than the New
Orleans Times and one or two members of
! the high fusion circles" he should have
been prepared for fiat contradiction from
every respectable man who knows the
Judge It is not true. however. that any
| such belief is current. The New Orleans
REPUBLICAN has repeatedly denied the
falsehood. and even our Democratic, con-
temporaries of the North know us too
well to believe story tina: we tell them is
untrue. They meanly repeat the assey-
tions, however. knowing them to be false
The testimony taken before the Senate
committee contradicts these false reports
which the Associated Press reporters have
circulated, and fully sustains ouy repeated
contradictions.
Another little error has just been nipped
in the bud. The Picaqune of Tuesday.

INDICTINa THE SUPREME COURT.

Notwithstanding that the supreme gov.
| eminent of the republic recognizes the
legality Of Mr.. Kellogg's authority. and
that every taxpaying citizen and every
attorney who Itigates and every client
who seeks redress in the courts Of law.
and tn. civic officers Of the city and parish
do the same thing, the McEnery concern
pretends that it is the true government Of
the State, and upon this pretense pro.
ceeds to iadict the supreme judges for
conspiring to reyolutionizs public author
ity. This solemn challenge is based upon
judicial decisions. about the correctness
of which no proof is produced to the con-
trary. The author of the indictment de.
clares that because Chief Justice Ludeling
and Justices Howell and Taliaferro. of the
Supreme Court agreed with Judge Durell.
| of the United States Court. that therefore
they were conspirators. and because Mar
| shall Packard executed the orders of his
superior officer. ;hat he also was conspir.
ator. The delivery Of a Judgment upon a
plain question is here made the basis of q
| proceeding 10. impeachment. and the
McEnery partisans have so little respect
for law. and SO little regard for the indie.
pendence of the judiciary. that it con-
siders this liberated suggestion as worthy
OF being referred to the deliberations of
an important special committee. What
! the Supreme Court did. it was bound in
conscience 10 do: and that it preserved
! the rights OF the weak, and IF those
| who had been grossly wgonged. against

ton. with the full knowledge that

doing. is as much 70 its credit Cor moral

selves TO ''this people" and TO the squad
Of strangers that always seek 20 be on
good terms with the strong. if they had
consented 20 declare that Warm0th's jug
glery IN the appointment o: Wharton was
an honest proceeding, hut they would have
| betrayed the cause of human liberty and
set in operation government az variance
with the popular will and with the best
interests Of Louisiana. As they did not

at h" expense of their reputation for
honesty. but held fast to justice and to the
law and TO the interests Of the thousands
committed to their care. they are con.
demned a. liable to Impeachment.
If there was on. act more than another
which was wanted to establish the utter
incompetency o! the MeEnery faction. it
was this assault upon the Judiciary. 1t
sets the example OF impeaching judges for
differing in opinion concerning Judicial
questions. The Chief Justice Of the Su-
preue Court is to be fool hereafter, for
his judgments are to conform to the folly

anything upon which to base suggestion
or even express an adverse opinion, ana

sionists TO prove their case, and enduring
their insults and abuse. and solerating
their falsehOods unit. :: is plain they have
no case, the President will adopt g speedy
mode Of quoting them down, either by
invoking the provisions Of the hu-Klux
laws. or by\d;reeting the troops here TO
assist the State authorities in !uelling the
existing domestic instruction. This news

THE WASHINGTON NEWS,

For the past four or five weeks our
small fry politicians have invested as
many nickels as they could spare from
the purchase Of their regular rations of
old Bourbon. in the evening papers. to
learn the news from Washington. They
have been cheeied every day with the as
suranceS that there was some vastly sem
couraging news" which could not be made
public until il had been translated and
filtered through q fusion caucus at Odd
Fellows Hall. One day there were ru-
mors Of compromises. consultations. and
then 4 more arrogant and positive tone,
predlcated upon a ''strong opinion en-
tertained in ''high fusion circles" that
McMillen would be admitted to seat in
the Senate. Opinions were manufactured
for the members Of the Senate election
committee. without. however, specifying
that Hill. Of Georgia. and TrumbuIl. of Hi
nois, were meant. because that wa, known
TO be presumed. The very latest news is
that all the Louisiana Witnesses were dis
missed. but that Warmoth and McMillen
were to make final and expiring effort
Tomorrow. when nothing more could be
done with the committee. This is accom-
panied by an anonymous dispatch to the
effect that the fUsionists are too strong
now to think Of compromise. which is
something We are very glad 70 hear. for
We do no. know of any one outside Of the
McEnery party who has anything to offer
IN the way OF compromise. or who is will
ing to accept amy offers looking to it.
Now. as this about closes up the fusion
dispatches from Washington. for the end
of all this fooiishness is at hand. we wish
to indulge in a little prophecy as TO what

!. The Congress will decide that our
case presents purely State question. to

has nothing to do.

any action by Congress. will be consider

course Of the President in recognizing the
existing State government. For having

THE NEW JUDICIARY BILL.

Mr.. Rodriguez has introduced into the
House q. bill to reorganize the district
courts in this parish. and to define and
limit their jurisdiction and determine
their powers.
The bill provides for the creation of two
criminal courts instead Of one, and for the
| appointment Of an assistant district attor-
ney for the second criminal court. This
change is the only one Of importance
made in the jurisdiction of the district
courts. The present Second District Cour.
is 20 be called the Probate Court. We
think the word district belongs i'll the
| title the same rs in the other courts.
! But while there appears to be little or
no change III the powers and jurisdiction
Of the Probate. the Third, Fourth. Fifth
and Sixth Distric. Courts, the bill pro.
! vides for sweeping changes in the per.
! sonnet. All Of the existing district courts
in the parish, except the Superior Court.
are abolished. and new ones. nearly iden-
teal. even in name. are created. Plainly,
the primary object Of the author of this
bill is TO legislate certain judges and clerks
| out Of office. and create new Offices simi.
lar thereto, to be filled by appointment by
the Governor.
There appear 60 Us 10 BE many objec-
tons 10 this bill, which We shall not state
! at this time. as il is hardly probable it
will pass in lis presen: shape. There can
be no doubt that such q sweeping change
in our judicial system would be viola
ton Of the constitution. besides Of doubt
full expediency and propriety. Many of
our citizens have frequently asked for m
additional criminal court, and u division
Of the powers and duties of the present
criminal tribunal. but the legislation of
Judge Abel out Of Office has not formed
part of the plan. He has been constitu-
tionally elected a judge for four years, and
can not be deprived of his Office without
his consent or as q punishment for some
offense of which he shall be adjudged
guilty by the Senate. With the increase
of crime in this city. growing out of our
unsettled political affairs and the fact that
a majority of white people appear to have
forsaken legitimate business and. entered
upon the profession OF politics. the duties
imposed upon Judge Abel are rather oner-
GUS. and probably more than one man can
conveniently discharge. For this reason
We can readily ncguiesce in the propriety
of relieving him of portion of his work.
but We can see no grounds for turning him
out of his Office altogether. In case an
additional criminal court is created. il
will. doubtless. be competent for the Gov
ernor to make the necessary appointments
to perfect the organization. including an
assistant district attorney. But the princi-
pal object of the bill OF Mr.. Rodriguez. the
dismissal Of one set Of judges and clerks
to make room for the appointment Of
others, is not warranted by the constitu-
ton. and is open to very grave objections
on the ground of expediency. equity and
prOprlety.
