ATTORNEYS AT LARGE.

Some dismasted attorneys or oehe1. no:
having been able 70 keep up with the
fo.illa, have drifted into the newspapers
to display their prowess. One Of them
published the legal jurisdiction Of court
fixed by the constitution Of 1853. as gov
erned by an act Of the Assembly of 1865
Another asserts that the REPUBLICAN, has
stated that ''the common Law was in full
force in Louisiana.
Our dismasted attorney is mistaken.
We have made no such assertion. We
have claimed that the federal law is par
amount in the States. That the federal
constitution has enacted most principles
of the common Law made that jurisdic.
ton indispensable to the denomination
of State cases in federal courts, and pre-
scribed "a common law jurisdiction" as
condition Of legality in certain State
courts of record.
We have therefore never found it nec-
essary to do more than contend that the
common law was in force in Louisiana.
So far as the federal law recognizing and
prescribing, it was in force. and just SO far
as Louisiana herself may have recognized
any provision Of the common law. fit has
any force it must have full force as far as
it goes. The unanimous authorities
affirmed the same doctrine. In these reso-
lutions already quoted they assert
l. That the Second District Court be-
longs to the category of district courts.
and so needs to have no common law juris-
| diction.
2. That the Second District Court ''has
common law jurisdiction, in that" etc.
Attorney General Field has denied TO,

| diction." The act of Congress says q
court 'shaving common law Jurisdiction.
We have argued to show that the jurisdic
ton Of the court over "money suits" was
an incident Of the ecclesiastical law. o,
was given by statute, and in neither case
jurisdiction at common law. We deem
the first proposition of the attorneys thu
most reasonable, and dispute their second
They claim that the common law has
force pei. Sc in Louisiana; we only affirm
that its force is due to the paramo unit Law
of the United States, or to recognition b.
statute The united and unanimous at
torneys affirm common law jurisdiction
in the district court We have given GU
reasons for thinking otherwise.
But our contemporaries should not b
so fierce in attributing incompetency t
their professional brethren. The press
supposed to understand everything bette
than any one else can possibly dc

HOW NORTH CAROLINA WAS BROUGHT
TO REASON.

We earnestly entreat our felfow-citinene
who have challked themselves into the
White League to disabuse their minds and
those of their friends of one grave error.
1t is that the hand of the law. as now
positively impressed on disaffection in
Louisiana, is directed by partisan design
to affect q pending election. It is the
deliberate act Of the federal government
enforcing its own violated law. 1t has
done so heretofore, and, assuredly. it will
do SO in future. Troops are sent to
Louisiana because the federal government
is now supreme and undisputed consti-
tutional sovereign; because. as sover-
eign, it is bound to maintain peace and
obedience within it's own limits. 1t is this
demonstration of power and Development
of duty which has been made mani
fest in North Carolina with such
signal effect. The same authority has
been and is directed against Alabama and
Kentucky as against Louisiana. "From
the centre all round to the sea" the United
States will keep the peace and compel
obedience. Hence we hear no response
to the appeal Of our White League press
to those who have fought to make the
federal govern ment paramount and the
Uuion perpetual. The North and West
demand that the government shall be
everywhere respected within and without
its limits. The federal government is no
rag doll to be played with by the sister
hood of States. Not if it knows itself.
We published, as no League lawyer ol
journal chose to publish, the laws of the
United States-passed chiefly during the
war. They treated the Confederacy as m
..insurrection" against the United States,
and they confer upon the executive duties
and powers far in advance of the former
laws. The federal government being but
the subordinate aid of the State govern
ments, in protecting them from 'domesti'
violence" assumes a new position, aue
constitutes a contempt OF the fedora
| IEOClauatlOu, Us IL Also OUtS rIoiheAoA
of the federal enforcement act, such al
offense against the federal government a
makes it the duty OF the federal execu
tive to enforce the law.
This showed an awful accumulation @
power in the hands of the federal execu
tive. A power by which the port of New
Orleans may be closed by executive orde
under which the Secretary of the Treas
ury may interdict commerce between an
State or district Of State in INSURED
ton" against the federal government an
the rest of the United States-undt
which the property within such insurret
tionary State or district may be held i
confscation and forfeiture and the cit
zens in effect placed in technical rebellion

DUB SISTER, YUCATAH.

Since the government of Mexico has
settled it's own political dissensions it has
had the time and power to compel the
maintenance of peace throughout its en-
tire Jurisdiction. Hence the presence Of
federal troops in the States of Nichoacan.
Durango, Oajaca and elsewhere, to check
incipient disturbance or suppress fragrant
instruction against the supreme govern
ment. Mexico seems to have profited by
and adopted the example of the United
States of the North. Wherever there ex-
lists disaffection, wherever local majority
attempts to overawe or suppress those To-
cally weaker than themselves. the federal
government sends force adequate to pro-
tect the weak and maintain the authority
Of the law.
We may remark here that it is upon
this theory of federal supremacy over the
whole Jurisdiction that the United States
will suppress disturbance in New York
as in North Carolina. 1t is wholly above
partisan politics, and in preserving order
| in Louisiana maintains entire impartiallty
as between the parties in conflict. In
Mexico and the United States the major
| ity of tae people, as embodied in the fed
eral government, is supreme. The author
ity of the States is subordinate.
There is, however, one State in the re-
public of Mexico which seems yet unre-
generate, and conducts her affairs upon
| the Louisiana model. The American con-
sui, NJ W. Hatch, reports the following
state Of politics in the State of Yucatan:
