The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-06-07

We now see the folly of those who framed
article l3, and the so-caIled civil rights law,
in applying the word s.license' alike to
the receipt for the soc ,led license tax Of a
merchant, lawyer, doctor, ETC., and the
permission to keep cockpit. a dog hole,
| Ii. e., place where four-legged dogs fight to
amuse two. legged ones,) doggery, a the
atre, show, a gambling house, (snch having
been, may be licensed brothel, (such are
licensed in Europe, and may be here etc.
And we further see that the scoundrels
can, next year, if allowed, numerically in
crease the subjects Of taxation to get more
revenue, and license mechanics and laborers,
i. e., permit or authorize them to work at
their calings. and earn bread for their
families, provided they pay such license tax
as may be imposed, and conform to such
other requirements as may be prescribed.
| conclude this paper by the mention of
two more points which | shall submit with
out much comment:
vi. The right Of pursuing ones vocation
is IA natural and inherent one, and is essen
tial to existence and happiness, and society
can impose no condition on It's exercise.
Assuming the license 20 be permit, the
Legislature, through the vile laws under
review, declares that the said permit
is given and accepted on two conditions:
lst That the holder shall accommodate ne
groes and accept their patronage in his bust
ness, and ID, That he shall pay what the
State. the parish, or the town demands for
the privilege of earning his bread at his
trade; and that the permit is to b. forfeited
and the business closed if he do not comply
with the conditions.
VII A citizens failing to pay tax, or
TO comply with a civil law, is not a crime
or misdemeanor, justifying penal intiic-
lions.
To declare forfeiture of ones permit to
work +; to shut up his shop, and cause
starvation to his family, are 50 clearly pen
alties as to require no argument. A citizen
is bound by his social compact to obey the
laws, aud to pay his contribution to sup
port society; and the Government has all
the law making power, and the whole ma
chinery Of civil justice at its command, for
the usual coercion of compliance. But pen
alties, forfeitures, contiscatlons. attainders,
etc, for civil delinquencies are out Of place. |
Note the words of this Yahoo legislation
If the licensee violate the conditions, . he
shall on connection be punished by forfeiture |
aud the closure of his business"
For completeness, such laws should pro-
vide for pulling teeth and esvsGeration of
the families Of the delinquents
Respectfully, b. J. SAGE.

Church Music.

In the Methodist Conference at Louisville
last week, demaud was made of the Bishops
that, in their pastoral address they should
express their disapprobation of "Operatic
performances in the Churches" One of the
members defined what he meant by "oper-
attic performances" by describing them as
such exquisitely artistic singing as to drown
the sense of the words with noise. Now it
is very true that the noise of the opera often
browns the sense of words-when they have
any-and this is particularly the case when
an Italian opera is sung before an English
audience.
But the perversion of sense to sound is
not confined to the graceless OPERA for, if
we are not mistaken, it was full congrega-
tional chorus that made the walls of the
meeting house resound with the remarkable
petition:
'' o for man-o for a man-o for mansion in the
skyl
Send down sal-send down sal-send down salvation
from on high"
Now was it, if our memory serves us, a
choir whose artistic style forced the old
people to {" fold up their spectacles and sor-
rowtully lay down their books" that began
that song of trusting faith:
"o take this pl-o take this pil-O take this pill
grim heme."

California-Its Innate and Crops.

| The following extract is taken from the
st. Louis Republican
SAN Francisco, May 13.-The beautiful
time of the year has come i'll California
| The dull, rainy season has come and gone
and now for seven long months we shall be
blessed with such weather as you in less
favored chimes scarcely dream about, never
experience. The semi-tropical sun of this
wonderful country will pour down its TEN
perate heat for the next seven moons. 1t
will be neither cold nor hot. In the day
| time we shall luxuriate in summer clothing
In the night we shall coddle ourselves in
blankets and Sleep the sleep of the just. |
mean by that that our rest will be as sure
and peaceful as that of the just in less IA
vored chimes. There is, after all, some
thing in this remarkable climate which is
pleasant to the stranger. 1t has its disad-
vantages chiefly to be summed up in the
one word, monotony.
When 1t rains, it rains for months, with
scarcely CLEAN of sunshine. When it don't
rain, it don't for months, and even fine
weather may become somewhat nonotonous.
One can appreciate fine weather all the bet
ter for an occasional change, which shows
its beauty by contrast. Here we have one
change once year--no more.
THE COMING HARVEST.
L e rainy season OI lCIO-4 uaS Deeu the
most remarkable ever known in California
since the State first became a home for
American settlers. There has been more
rain during the months beginning with No
vember and ending with April than has
fallen before for over twenty years. The
winter was also colder than ever before
within the recollection of the traditional
Coolest ishabitant" All of which goes to
show that the climate of the Pacific garden
is slowly but surely changing. The effect
of these tremendous rains on the coming
crops will be something to astonish the
world.
In the East the farmer is just about SOW
ing his wheat and his grain. Here we have
crop of wheat, already breast high, which
will be ready for the harvest in about two
weeks. 1t is estimated that at least three
crops will be gathered by our farmers here,
and in some places four will reward the
very small amount of labor which is re-
quired to till the soil. This to Eastern
farmers appears somewhat astonishing. To
agricultursts here it appears quite matter
of course. Mr., Pope, of St. Louis, and my
self took trip through the San Joaquin
Valley about week since with party of
Californian and Eastern capitalists. We
were both simply amazed by the fields Of
sweeping wheat and grain which confronted
us On the LIST day of May. 1t is estimated
that the wheat crop this yeaf will realize

Prof Patton, the accuser in the Swing
heresy trial at Chicago, is thus hit off in an
editorial in the Chicago Tribune: sThe pros
ecutor is the very personification of theo-
Logan, and shows the effects Of a prolonged
diet of this sort. Thin, spare. wiry, nervous,
specialized, phlegmatic ferret-eyed, and dry
as-dust, he looks like one of those tall, thin,
hide-bound folios Of the fathers, whose prin-
cipal use is to gather dust and afford an I'm
INSTRUCTED medium for the sinuous course of
the bookworm. He is keen, sharp and incl
sive, imperturbable as a granite wall, appar-
entity cold FLOODED as frog, and as juiceless
as last October's oak leaf. Thus far he has
been making bricks without straw but no
one can help admiring the industry, the per-
tinacity, and the GOODNESS with which he
pnrsues his thankless task. If it were the
year 1886, he and Calvin would have made
it hot for the Servetuses; but as it is the
year 1874, he is Calvin shorn of power"
