LOUISIANA INFAMY.

Mr.. Wilson Of Indiana from the Com
mittee on the Judiciary offered q reso-
luton to instruct that committee to
further inquire whether Judge r. n.
Durell should be impeached; which
was adopted.
It would have been better had Con-
gress let the Louisiana matter alone
than to have authorized an investiga-
ton into the acts OF one Of the Presi-
dents appointees and refused to extend
that Investigation to the acts Of the
President This is not merely coward
ice: it is n confession ofcoWardice. It
is more: it is virtual admission that
the acts Of the President will not
bear investigation. In March, 1857,
Congress passed, over the veto, a law
to punish the President Of the United
States-Andrew johnson being the
President-in fine Of ten thousand
dollars and five years imprisonment
for the crime Of removing an ofhcer
contrary to its provisions. This is the
identical with the present-treated the
President: made him responsible for
his executive acts to q court Of GRIMM
| al jurisdiction and subject to infamous
| punishment. In what is Ulysses 8.
Grant superior to Andrew Johnston,
that, in respect to the former, Congress,
with the fact before it that he has un-
lawfully interfered in the affairs Of
Louisiana does not even dare to
permit an examination into the extent
OF his usurpation? Who Is this Judge
Durell? "A creature of the President.
| What has he done7 He has assumed
and exercised an authority which does
not and cannot under any circumstan-
ces appertain to his office as Judge of
acourt Of the United States. The Pres
ident by continuing him in Office sane
tions his acts. BY formally and in an
| official naner assuming to recognize,
and promising to enforce tho extra-ju-
dicial and extra-legal acts of this erea-
ture OF his, the President has made
himself a party to the wrong he has
| committed. And yet Congress- votes
to investigate Judge Durell, and votes
not to investigate President Grant. To
inpeach the implement and leave the
principal would be so palpable an act
Of cowardice and unfaithfulness, to do
| 50 would be more scandalous than ia
| leave tho matter alone.-- H1tshtngto,,

Chief Justice Ludeling is said to
have been II party to the original con-
tract between Kellogg, Durell, Norton
and Billings, for. Norton to have the
long term in the Senate and Durell to
get tho first vacancy on the United
States Supreme Bench. In addition to
these facts, the documents sent in by
order Of Congress contain q remarkable
dispatch from Collector John +. Casey
to the President, stating, under date OF
December 12, that the Supreme Court
Of Louisiana Is know to be In sympathy
with the Republican State government,
thus showing that the judges had been
sounded and manipulated over q
month ago. 1t is considered extracr-

and Attorney General Williams should
have sent in a dispatch to Congress
disclosing this plot against the peoples

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1873-01-18

Mr.. Beecher does not seem to en-
tertain a very high opinion of some Of
the literature that is to he found in
church and Sunday school libraries,
and in religious periodicals. In his
column of Answers to Questions in the
Christian Union, in answer to the
interrogatory, "1s it wicked to read
fiction I" he answers thus: HThat
depends. We never knew Of q mans
receiving serious moral or intellectual
injury from reading the Parallels of
Christ, the Pilgrims Progress or Mil
toms Paradise Lost. Some of the
truest b.,oks ever written have yet
been fictitious in form. If by fiction
YOU mean such books as Adam Bede
or John Halifax, or Robert Falooner,
We do not think reading fiction an
objectionable sin-nor indeed an Of
fence. But if by fiction you refer to
such fiction as one finds in dime novels
the lower order of Sunday school books,
fulsome religious biographies, and tho
campaign lives Of public men, We have
no hesitancy in saying that it is a
great waste of time and attention, and
is frequently injurious to morals to read
them

she was suddenly becalmed, SO that
it seemed inevitable that she must
soon broach to, be rolled over and
knocked to pieces. The small mar
liner, however, remained perfectly col
lected, with his tiller in one hand and
the sheet in the other. Then the gale
again caught his sail, and over the
second roller he went right upon the
beach. There was now no need of
the life boat from Teignmouth, and
she was countermanded. Admiral
Craigie, supported in his opinion by
u naval friend of great experience
who saw the whole, testifies that this
boy Of fourteen did the very best
which could be done under the cir
cumstances, took the only course
which afforded the least chance of es-
cape, and showed Ito use the Admi-
rails words) that " courage, self-reli-
ance and judgment are the chief ele-
ments Of success on such occasions"
What a contrast does the calm
bravery of the boy exhibit to the panic
fear often betrayed by men in like
emergencies! the helpless terror, the
suicidal prostration, and the miser-
able despair The lad was young,
but he was old enough and expert
enced enough to comprehend fnlly the
exigency of the situation. His judg-
ment may have been no better than
that of many men similarly imper-
lied, but such as it was be was mas
ter OF it. We have all a love of life,
but how many Of us have a trust
worthy instinct of self preservation
How many, since it is .felo-de-se, in
one form or another, which fills so
many graves. .tf -

A Yankee King!
From the N. Y. SUM-

The new chief of the Sandwich Is
lands, who fills the place of the de-
ceased King under the title of Regent,
is Yankee. His name is Elisha H.
Allen. He has long been the Chief
Justice of the islands. He was born
in Massachusetts, migrated to Maine,
and became lawyer in Bangor. He
was an active Wing in the days Of
jackson, Van Buren,, and Harrison,
and at one time represented his dis
trict in Congress. He was finally de-
feated by Hannibal Hamlin, who has
managed to keep himself warm in his
seat ever since.
After this Allen went to the Sand
wich Islands as Consul. He was soon
displaced by political changes at home,
but having acquired love for the de-
licious atmosphere and pleasing sur
roundings Of his new home, he con-
cluded to make it his permanent abode.
Possessing q refined aud sensuous ma
ture, with affable manners, and being
a man of ability rs we'll as integrity,
he became from the first a leading and
honored citizen. His holding tho post
of Chief Justice for many years testi-
fies to the honorable estimation in
which he is held. His frank and
cheerful countenance, and popular
and courtly address, point him out rs
just the man for Citizen King. And
a Yankee King would be novelty
worth having. Yankees have shown
themselves tit for almost every thing,
and have, at one time or another been
almost every thing. But as yet no
King has turned up among them !;
but if there ever was suitable time
to have Yankee to fill such q place
it is now, and Allen is the man. We
are willing to take the responsibility
Of the experiment, and, we nominate
him accordingly as the successor Of his
Majesty kamehamela V.
The islands are in very loose state,
and have been so for a long time, both
morally and politically. II any one
man is better fitted than another to he
their guide, philosopher, and friend,
their 'Thane, Cawdor, King, to save
them from further disintegration and
declension, and to promote that pros
perity and solidatary which may fit
them for higher place among the
peoples, it is clearly Chief Justice
Allen. He has lived among them for
a whole generation and has framed
and given to them their principal title
to civilization, a wise and wholesome
system of jurisprudence honestly ad-
ministered.
We are willing to vouch in advance
for the reign of King Allen l. as sure
to be prudent, just, sensible, and con-
servative, and we trust more need not
he asked or said. It ls very seldom
we are willing to endorse a King.
But good, honest, intelligent Yankee
King is such a rarity, indeed some
thing 50 altogether new in the world,
and the opportunity to try him on is
soexce,lent, that we yield to the entice-
ments of the occasion.
Let US then have King Allen crowned
at once and end this new Sandwich
Island imbrogli0.
