WOulQ DC more ulRnlneu, sensible ana
eminenuy proper method of celebrating the
Fourth than the one now in vogue, and the
least that we will claim is that such an epoch is
very, very distant Meanwhile the bells will
peal and the balloons 60 up. We shall have
our ''silver glories'' and our ''Chinsse FANS
golden dragons" will be in request and
diamond stars not fall short The Fourth
will remain the Fourth, though we are afraid
to predict how many years to come.
But let us consider for moment the argu-
ments which will be adduced by the old fogy
and the advanced thinker in opposition to
the present mode of celebrating the Fourth.
Both these parties come to us laden with
logic. The one tells US that the boy of the
period is an unmitigated nuisance, and that
his ostensible motive for celebrating the
Fourth is only to obtain an outlet to his unru-
Illness and contempt for authority. Your old
fogy is very confident upon this point He is
absolutely certain that the average juvenile is
much worse than ever before; that the gun
powder is of worse quality than that of a
quarter Of century ago, makes more noise
and is longer in going off; that the fire.
works in general are inferior stuff, and that
the new inventions might have originated in
the brain of the Prince of Darkness himself,
who is known to be a pyrotechnist Of the first
order. Your old fogy protests that the whole
thing was better managed when he was q boy

the affairs of human government. The
people Of the United States have been
made to feel severely. in moral and ma

politicians: but never was this feel

section Of common country. led on
by wicked politicians suffered itself
to be arrayed in rebellion against the legal
government Of free people. The politi.
clans Of a section, failing to convince the
people of the United States that the slave
monopoly was right, undertook the disso-
luton of the Union for the purpose of
establishing a government to be sustained
by slave power. This slave power was
composed principally of the planting in
terest in the South. And this planting in
terest, owned by comparatively very small
portion of the people known as planters,
proved one Of the most stupendous and
dangerous monopolies that ever cursed

THE TROUBLES IN GRANT PARISH.

We are not in possession OF all the de-
tails connected with the so-caIled ''mo0
demonstration" in Grant parish, and are
unwilling to follow the hasty judgment OF
our contemporaries. who naturally. and,
no doubt. unjustly lay all the blame upon
the negroes. Unless the partial intelli-
gence already received is entirely erro-
neous. the contest in Grant is for the pos
session Of the public offices of the parish
One set of officers claim under commits
sions issued by John McEnery. while
the others res: their case upon
the authority Of the State govern
ment. Such being the case. It follows
that one Of the parties is engaged in 'he
work Of resisting the laws by force. and
hence that is the party to which must at
tach the blame. It needs no casUist IN
law to demonstrate tina: no authority to
represent this State in any matter can be
derived from Mr.. McEnery. simply be-
cause he is not clothed with the legal
power to confer il. Commissions issued
by him are absolutely null for the reason
that he has not received the authority
from the people TO issue any. The PRE-
tended officials who claim 20 act under
any such unwarranted authority are.
therefore. usurpers and wrong doer8.
whom it is necessary for the legal parish
officers to remove with the exercise OF as
little force OF violence as possible. And
the reports Of the pretended outrage. as
they appear in the Times and P;caylDe,
indicate that the party which is put IN the
light Of assailant did no more. No one
was killed or even injured. and but for
the hope expressed by the city papers that
a party would go up from Alexandria large
enough to turn the tide in favor OF the
.McEnery partisans. we might suppose the
difficulty at an end, so far At least as any
violence is concerned.
At all events, there appears 20 have
been nothing like a mob az Colfax at all,
nor anything in the proceedings to war
rant the assertion that the Republican Of
fcials did anything more than their duty
required them to do in the premises. They
found their places usurped' by unauthor-
lied persons, and took the obvious course
to assert their rights. Mayor Witt and
his associates would do the same thing To-
day if their Offices were similarly invaded,
and all good citizens would sustain them
in their action. Until We hear that the
Republican officials Of Grant parish have
done something more fragrant than to
Gust McEnery pretenders to office. we ARE
bound to defend them from the eharse @:
being rioters.

protected in their ownership, even if the
conservative above mentioned should be
deprived Of his perquisites.
The conservative contends that his favo-
rite clause in the constitution is para
mount, ''that his house is his castle, !"
which no man shall dare to enter save at
his invitation: that all laws derive their
validity from the consent Of the governed
and that only as necessary consequence
any law abridging his immunities is null
and void because it lacks his consent. And
that he has an inalienable right to alter
and amend such law ''in such form as shall
seem most likely to effect his safety
and happiness" The common herd. with
a despotic tyranny born Of brute num-
bers, reject this enlightened doctrine, and
insist that it is lawful to compel this ac-
quisitiye but no. over scrupulous indi-
yidual. by various devices. such as fines
and prisons. to sacrifice his private specu-
lations upon the altar of public safety
thus "violating the constitution, out
raging human liberty and making govern
ment consolidated despotism.
Such are the differences Of opinion that
have arrayed these two sections Of the
people agains. each other. In this
unequal contest the fences "are not dis
mayed by the numerical odds opposed to
them. but nerved by the grand issue OF
human liberty at stake" fearless bide the
issue Of an appeal to an enlightened public
and a sympathizing world.
