is found to consist Of an act of March,
1870, forbidding the issue Of any wits in
execution against the city Of New Orleans
to enforce the payment Of any judgment
for money. Our acute attorneys have
noted that this debt belongs 10 class Of
obligations created in most part long be-
fore the passage Of the act Of 1870, and
is, therefore, not supposed to be affected by
an ex post facto act impairingth obligation
of contracts. We have shown that the
debt created previous 20 1854. the date Of
the particular bonds now matured
and in suit. amounted to more than
eight millions Of dollars. If, there
fore. this particular batch Of bonds
be turned loose against the city
property, something is bound TO give
way. These bonds may be exchanged
with the assent Of the holder, for other
new bonds. CT perhaps the city might
borrow an equal amount Of money for the
liquidation ofthese bonds without thereby
transcending the limit fixed by the late
amendment. Blu. something must be
done TO meet these inexorable obligations.
Ii the rate of taxation fixed by the Bee
be adopted. it would certainly. with other
resources. pay the expense Of an econom-
ical administration. but it will not also
pay the interest on the city debt. We
approach point then at which no sor: of
excavation or defamation will aid our
object. A very steady head is required to
look into the impending crisis. and a very
fertile mind must devise some means Of
meeting its obligations.
Is the Bee satisfied with this peep into
the abyss? The REPUBLICAN is prepared
to scrutinize it fearlessly. without &C.
knowledging anything more than a very
small pro rata responsibility for this city
debt. or for the chronic cost Of admins.
tering the city government. we will give
any aid in our power at the approaching
session Of the Legislature to relieve EN-.
barrassments which weigh heavily upon
every interest and every citizen Of New
Orleans. But candor compels US to say
that we do no: deem the propose! to !imi:
taxation alone will achieve the object.

TEE WRIT OF HAgEAs CORPUS.

The outrageous imprisonment Of an
obscure individual for political ofense
gave England and America their second
magma c'ar!a, 81 Car. ii, c. 2, the habeas
corpus act. An American jurist. still iiv-
ing, and giving to the world the magni-
fcent results Of lifetime OF study. said
he would sooner deprive . man Of the
privilege Of breathing than the right to
invoke his writ. In early days it was
looked upon with grea. apprehension as
liable to be made rather the instrument Of
defiance of law than an aid to justice.
Not only rulers, bu: judges were 10th to
permit it being established as the mighty
protection of the loyal subject. It was
this caution so characteristic OF the com.
mon law that caused the restriction of the
powe. to issue it to few judges. and
these of the superior :an!; in the judicial
hierarchy.
In America III: feeling and practice is
the same. The wri: is not common
thing to be issued at hap hazard at the
beck and call Of every prisoner. In some
States only the judges Of the highest
court can order it. IN others it has been
made more universal, bu. not to the ad.
vantage Of the State, nor has j. conduced
to the preservation Of judicial purity. as
examples in the civil law. State Of LOUISE

testify.

writ that j: should be supreme, and no
judicial confic. should impair its power.

a Drigadier Genera! who was the first to
disobey such writ under President Lin

mitted the necessity ard force Of the
power. but declared i: must be exercised
with great caution.
In a conflict over the execution Of such
power the people will become involved
and divided. and the object Of the writ
will fail because Of its own weakness.
Suppose. as in the late case in Monroe, a
marshal of the United States court, armed
with the proper process. attempts an ar
rest and resistance is made: His only
recourse is to summon the posse comitatis.
Suppose, then, a judge Of the State court
issues writ OF habeas corpus and the
marshal refused to obey it and .esists the
sheriff. The latter can only Go precisely

WILL THEY PROTECT THEM?

Since the Democracy has enlisted .
large number Of colored men to serve for
one day only, at the polls, the idea pre-
! walls generally that such recruits are to
| be protected from. any consequences which
may arise OF. o; the enlistment. None
but the most disrepu,able colored men
would consent to abandon their former
comrades OF the eve Of battle and thus GO
over 70 the enemy. ard the result has
probably satisfied the Democracy that
they caught just such cha-acterless per-
sons as they ought 70 have looked for #
they had used any forethought in the mat
ter. Nearly every day since the election the
Democratic candidates. leaders and club
officers have been interviewed by impor.
tunate colored men WITH doleful tales Of
treatment received a: the hands Of their
late political associates on account Of
alleged detection. The formula in each
case is about the same. The party ap.
proaches his Democratic patron with
rueful countenance; he has been beaten
in a cruel manner by the Republicans Of
his own race for having voted the White
League ticket. The interview generally
ends by the handing over Of a half dollar
70 sootie lacerated feelings, and straight.
way the Bulletin is informed. which in turn
comes bounding GU: with an evening edi.
ton announcing "Another Republican
Outrage" democratic Negroes again
Beaten for Voting the White Mans Ticket"
"These Atrocities Must be Stopped!'
There is very simple way to stop
them, if it be tried once. Let everybody
who may hereafter be importuned by one
Of these pretended victims refuse to give
him anything. and the annoyance will
cease. But so long as there is money in
that mine it will continue to he worked.
But we have case Of different character
to inquire into. Two very enterprising
colored Democrats OF one Of the lower
wards have enlarged the field Of their
gleanings and invaded the premises Of
cigar dealers. where they showed such
disrespect for the rights Of the owner
that they have fallen into difficulty with
the law. One Of them is president of a
Democratic club. and the other lay mem.
Der in good standing Of the same party
most likely a member Of the club. They
are both in Jail. but are expecting every
moment to hear the relieving bugles Of
the White League club coming to raise
the official siege. VIII their patrons
promptly rush to the rescue and extend
the protecting :egis OF their flag over
these unfortunate prisoners? Or will they
be permitted to !anguish in prison, their
noble limbs const,uctively bound in the
chains Of tie tyran. law with whom they
have had a serious falling out? This is a
very important and interesting question,
and carries with it sad lesson and whole
some moral. 1t teaches US that to become
renegade in the face Of the enemy is but
the initial step 70 {. career Of trouble and
danger.
