LAW OR NO LAW.

The Republican in recent edition under the
caption of Law or No Law says:
Combinations are formed to overawe the
lawful officers: They are armed, drilled, and
inflamed by the trumpet of the press. Before
this power the Exec alive and the Returning
Board stand powerless. The Governor
intrenched in the fortress and protected by
the power of the Federal Government, CORE
spends with his subordinates by telegraph
and with his opponents by parley. He is be-
leagured, besieged.
To assume, because ten men are better
armed and more resolute than twenty others,
that. therefore, the superior prowess is right
and the superior numbers wrong, is not repub-
lican logic. 1t is the despotism of force and
the obedience OF fear. 1t is the principle on
which, by Pretorian Guards or Janissares, the
masses OF the people have been held in the
abject bondage of unreasoning dread. We
have this anarchy OF principle and reign OF
force in Louisiana Those who sanction it
are not fit depositaries OF political power:
For unblr,shing impudence and supreme
righteousness the article in question is with
out a parallel. Combinations are formed
to overawe the lawful officers Y In Il repub-
lie where rulers are chosen by the ballots Of
its citizens i" lawful officers" must be those
who, receiving majority of votes Of their
fellow-citizens at n stated election, are in
vested with the titles OF, and are required to
perform the duties appertaining to the office
to which they have been elected.
Can State Government in this great
American republic be called lawful and its
officers lawful officers when the source of its
power was an order signed at midnight by .
drunken United States Judge, whose hansl
was so unsteady that his signature appended
to the most infamous document ever issued
in republic, was SO unlike his usual one
that it might well have been termed a for
gerry ? An order enforced by United States
soldiers who advanced with stealthy tread in
the gloom Of night, seized the State House
and trampled upon the liberty of a State of
the Union by foisting into power gang Of
characterless adventurous who had been re-
pudiated by the people at the polls.
Such an outrage could not have been per-
petrated in the really free and sovereign
States of the North and would not have
been submitted to in Louisiana could her
people have known that their motives would
not have been miscons:rued and their ac-
tons misrepresented. They hadjus emerged
from a conflict with tie United States Gov.
eminent. and were. as il were. on trial. and
We're therefore 10th 70 take any action which
migilt be taken as IN evidence thai they had
not yielded in good faith.

A universal dissatisfaction is exhibited by
all the respectable members of the bar at the
unprofessional conduct OF Dir. Walsh, in his
attempt to force himself upon a number of
gentlemen as their legal adviser. when they
had expressed themselves in favor of another
lawyer. Such part Mr.. Walsh is now
playing is not calculated to elevate him in
the estimation of this community, nor will he
derive much advantage in his antasonism to
the popular will of people who know their
friends. and fully appreciate merit and worth.
Mr.. Walsh may contend for the City Attor-
neyship. but he will never obtain 1t, and the
character of his struggle will forever condemn
him with the party of which be processes to
be o member but to the harmony and success
of which he has shown himself dangerous
foe.
