The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-03-29

We have received sprightly com NUM-
cation from a prominent river gentleman,
complaining in severe terms about our iso-
lation from the outside world. 1t states
that on March Goth, the bar was closed at
Southwest Pass by the steamship Vandalia
lying directly across the channel, with only
thirteen feet around her. 1t is stated that
for twenty days she remained in this posi-
ton, keeping the gates of commerce locked.
Inside the bar there were thirty-six sail out
ward bound, and many in the offing unable
to get in The Essayons was ordered to the
spot by Major Howell, and after much Ia
Dor, raised the blockade.
The damage occurring to this city by this
shutting of our gateway to the sea is en-
ormous Our correspondent arraigns the
towboat fraternity in strong terms, and
asks whether the Balize telegraph is operat-
ing for the private interests of the Towboat
Company, and whether they are common
carriers.
Those who are familiar with the effect of
these blockades can fully appreciate the
future benefits to us of the Fort st. Philip
Canal. In the language of an old patriot
gives us the canal or tunnel to Europe.

Partisan Justice.

The action Of Judge Woods, of the United
States Circuit Court, in refusing the liberia.
ton Of the Grant prisoners-an act of human.
ity which his own feelings should have
suggested, disappointed no one familiar with
court rulings in this State. A petition for
the release Of the prisoners was signed by
the most respectable lay and clerical resi-
dents Ct the city, whose names became bond
that the unfortunate men accused would an
pear on the day Of trial. The fact that the
accused will have to languish in prison when
their presence could readily be obtained
that they have stood one trial and were
acquitted by almost every juryman, and
that no judge or attorney, however partisan,
can ever hope to obtain a conviction with
the evidence introduced in the case, ought.
with any one not influenced by partisan
considerations, to have led to prompt grant
ing of the petition. The act of sending these
men to long confinement in prison will be
regarded mere party act, and altogether fail
in awakening any inc reased respect for the
law.

The President, in his interview with tn
committee from the South Carolina lax
Payers Convention, after listening to . de
: tailed statement of the grievances unde
which the people Of that State have groanet
for years, said: The condition Of AFFAIR."
was as much to be deplored as in Louisiana
but since it was sovereign State, he coult
see no mode whereby the pending evil could
be cured, either by the Executive or by Con
gress. The matter was one which rested en-
tirely with the people"
This late admission that the Southern
States are Sovereign" comes with bad
grace from the President. 1t is something
like 'locking the stable after the horse is
stolen" Had their sovereignty been recoS-
nized before they were overrun and plum
dered by the carpet-baggers and scalawags,
who, by the help Of Grants bayonets, seized
the reins of power and impoverished whole
people, the South would have regained her
pristine prosperity and have contributed her
share to the material development OF the
whole country.
We take issue with the President,
when he says the matter rests entirely with
the people. He has compared the condition
Of South Carolina to that of Louisiana. In
this we believe his statement to be no more
than the truth and nobody should be better
informed than the President, for upon him,
and him alone, rests the responsibility OF
all the evils that have fallen upon Lou
isiana When United States judge issued
an illegal and extraordinary order, upset
ting government fairlyelected by the people,
it was the President who sustained him
and ordered the bayonets Of the United
States to the front.
We don't care to 60 into a lengthy dis
cussion Of this question, but if Louisiana
has ever been recognized as sovereign
State, it has entirely escaped the notice
Of her citizens, who are far more inter
ested in the question than the President.
If the citizens of Louisiana have ever
been permitted to regulate their own in
ternal affairs. they exhibit most culpable |
ignorance. In fact, on the only occasion
when Louisiana did attempt to exercise the
rights guaranteed by the Constitution to
every free citizen, Grants bayonets stepped
n and rendered it worse than nugat ~.
Fine words butter no parsnips." If the
President is really i'll earnest about this So
,alled sovereignty of the Southern States,
ct him set aside this assumption of Kel-
ogg, recognize the government elected by
he people, and prevent all bayonet inter-
erence with the rights Of the people.
Should he do this, Louisiana will believe
lin 10 be in earnest. Should he do this,
louisiana will indeed be sovereign.
