@While Major Merrill is making his
affidavits in Louisiana, and the Federal
authorities are arresting merchants in
that unhappy State, because they agree
together to employ in their service
only men Of their own political persua-
sion, we commend to the public the
following extract from one Of the Mas
sschusetss law reports. which has Just
been quoted by the Supreme Court
OF Massachusetts in Trades Union
oontIoversy over the possession OF Ger.
tain money: EVERY man has right
to determine what branch OF business
he will pursue, and to make his OWL
contracts with whom he pleasee, on the
best terms he can. He may refuse to
deal with any men or class of men, and
it is no crime for ohy number of per-
sons, without an unlawful object in
view, to associate themselves together
and agree that they will not work for
or deal with certain men or classes of
men, or work under a certain price, or
without certain conditions" What is
law In Massachusetts, ought to be law
in Louisiana, and we take it that tho
political condition imposed by the
Louisiana merchants does not make
them have ''an unlawful object in
view," or else we would be without
any justification for the Wholesale
turning out of Office whenever a nav
Federal administration comes in, and
the anti-electiOn industry at the navy
yards and other public works would
De fairly cognizahle under the En-
forcement Act.

a SINGULAR FATALITY. Many of our
citizens remember the Joseph Stewart
mill suit which was in dispute some
time. A title to the mill property was
given Mr.. Stewart about year since.
Shortly thereafter he was killed, and
the property went to his son Hutchi.
son. This son died in short limo and
Child OF his fell heir to the pre- eerty.
Not long since this child also died.
and the mill became the property OF its
mother. Mrs. Hutchison Stewart. All
these deaths and changes in the own
ership of this property have occurred
within twelve months.

cation to General Emery, prot ,stinp

msnd: did. on the 22l instant, at the
CITY OF Shreveport, make an affidavit
Tor the arrest of large number of oi.

charged by said officer is one strictly
oogniz able by the civil courts, and
appertnins in no manner to the mill
tary service. As you are aware, q po-
i!t.cal campaign is being conducted in
this State under the Constitution aud
laws Of the country. and the effect in
tended by this exhibition of zeal of
this military officer cannot be other
wise than to throw th influence of the
power OF his official position against
the political party of which we are the
organs. Having but recently arrived
IN that section of the country, and it
not appearing in his affidavit that his
rights have been ihterfered with, we
cannot characterize his gratuitous SER
Vices n that behalf as otherwise than
unm,.llltary aud intimidating, and in
conflict with the spirit of our insttu-
tions. We feel that we are the more
promptly called upon TO protest against
the conduct of this military officer as
the past sad experience in our State
proves that the Republican political
leaders have found 1t an easy matter
to subordinate civil to military power,
