United States to vote in the several States
Of this Union, and for other purposes,
reads as follows: l s 3
And be it further enacted, That it shall
he the duty of all marshals ana deputy
marsbals to obey and execute all warrants
and precepts issued under the provisions OF
this act when to them directed; and should
any marshal or deputy marshal refuse to
receive such warrants or other process when
rendered. or to use all proper means dill.
gently to execute the same. he shall, on con-
vlction thereof, be fined in the sum of one
thousand dollars, to the use OF the person
deprived of the rights conferred by this act;
and the better to enable the said commits
siOners to execute their duties faithfully
and efficiently in conformity with the
constitution of the United States and the
requirements of this act. they are hereby
authorized and empowered, within theif
districts respectively, 70 appoint, in writ

suitable persons, from time to time. to exc

as may be necessary to the performance OF
the duty with which they are charged, and
to insure q faithful observance OF the nj

the United States: and such warrants shall
run and be executed by said officers any'

The thirteenth section Of the same act
says:

the execution of judicial process issued IN

II is not matter Of wonder that the
Picoyune differs from General Emory. It
differs from the President. who says in his
message. regarding the employment OF
troops:
Complaints are made Of this Interference
nv federal authority; but if said amend
ment and act do not provide tor such inter-
ference, under the cir c umstances - above,
then they are without meaning, force OF
effect. and The whole scheme OF colored en-:
nchisement is worse than mOckeEy. and
little better than . crime.
II appears in no case that General
Emory has overstepped the warrant OF
law in the exercise Of his duty. and the
efforts of those who seek to defame him.
and through him breed and nurse ami
mostly TO the constituted authorities OF
the United States. and to the government
itself. falls to the ground.

AMATEUR FINANCE,

The blindness Of our citizens who over.
look the financial talent capable Of re-
ieving all our corporate embarrassments
is very deplorable. Persons have crawled
into administration, according 10 one
Democratic correspondent, who are ''all
men Of small ability" The New Orleans
Times intimates that tie fiscal condition
of the city is beyond Ordinary financier-
ing" and kindly offers programme
which will result in relieving every Diff
Guilty. The first item of economy sug-
gested is to so cut down the police, school
and park tax as 70 effect . saving OF
S72O,OOO Perhaps it might be more
effectual economy to discharge the police,
disperse the scholars and blow out the
lights of the city. Seriously, this economy
can not be as effectual as the Times sug-
gests. We do not stand as the defenders
of the police force. AZ standing army
it is a failure. We are as much inter
ested in an efficient and economical police
| administration rs others. But some police
is necessary. The city of New Orleans has
added many square miles ofterritory, many
thousands of people and many millions
of value to the protective duty of the
police. This duty can not be abdicated,
but if these duties be performed the re-
duction ofexpense can not be very large.
To tamper with the school tax is, We re-
peat, dangerous act. Society depends
on the intellectual and moral improve
ment of all its members, and to exclude
any class, or part of class of children
from the benefit of education will be t.
throw the inevitable inheritance of crime
and beggary upon posterity. The Times
thinks that one-third or one-haf of these
children may be excluded from the schools
and the same proportion of teachers dis
charged. Will the Times say whose chill
dren shall be excluded, and on what prin
ciple one boy or girl shall be denied thu
light of learning, and one or two othe'
boys or girls cultivated and instructed!
The park tax is q luxury which may bt
dispensed with. provided there b no legal
obligation ON the part Of this city which
requires its collection. Such are meas

GENERAL EMORY'S REPORT.

Il is not novel thing for the Picnyune
TO make grave miscellaneous. both willful
and ignorant, and, in . long editorial'
which appeared Sunday, il is consistent
with itself, in commenting upon this an
nual report OF military operations made
by the commanding General Of the de-
partmens. 1t appears. the Generals
greatest of{ense il in writing what has
long been the settled opinion Of law
abiding people:
+ Il can not be denied their presence
fspeaking of trO0psl is necessary to the con-
tinuance Of peace in the Southern country,
and, in my opinion, to tue existence OF the
government itself.
The General might have added much
more: he certainly could not have said
less in expressing An opinion called for by
his duty as commanding officer, The
Picopsne also offers him advice, gratuitous
and uncalled for. With his acceptance or
needing of It We have nothing 70 do
Genera! Emory has read the laws govern
ing the army, and explaining how and
when, and for what purpose the army can
be used under the direction OF United
States marshals, and he is here to see
that their provisions are carried out. The
Picay,,ne says:
The army Of the United States is not sub.
ject to the authority and command of any
81. hath - %t>oT ~
of any State, unless called out by proper
and formal requisition to suppress Insured.
ton which reQuisition must be made upon
| the President. They are in no respects a
posse comitatus. In fact, it is only when the
posse comitatus ia called out and fails to en-.
| able the civil officer to execute the law that
| the military can be legally invoked. Gen.
| eral Emory makes grave error, alike Of
tensive to the people and the army. in Civ
| ing the United States troops thd character
| and designation of posse comitatus. That
| mysterious body is composed of bystand.
ers-must be taken from the body of the
| people-and the regular United States SOL
diers are the only persons who can not be
| pressed into it.
General Emory errs in looking to the
| United States marshal for the determine
ton of the question, whether the civil arm
| ie impotent to enforce the DEGREES of courts.
L
| der should examine and determine for him.
self whether the resources and power of the
| civil officers have beeen exhausted before
sending the troops to their aid. He is never
justified in taking the bare word of the
civil officers on that subject. Any petty
subordinate of the United States govern
ment might thus have the troops called to
his aid in any insignificant transaction.
The United States army can in no sense
be used as a posse comitatus. The high
officers of that branch of the public service
ought to stand by the right and dignity Of
their profession. They can not be called
out as posse comitatus, and they ought to
resent their employment as constables
Central Emory evidently, however. regards
the proper use OF the army very differently
| from us.

GAuSE AND CURE.

We never employ partisan abuse. We
prefer our opponents should read our
views This they could not be expected
to do if they were stigmatized as unwoe-
thy respect OF confidence. We never
employ partisan abuse, because it is not
honorable to apply epithets under the
anonyme Of newspaper. that are only ex-
cusable when addressed personally. We
therefore appeal to those interested in the
good name and business OF the city 30
look with calmness upon . state Of facts
Of which they can themselves bear wit.
ness.
The people Of Louisiana have been
told that all pecuniary and industrial
| trouble is due to improper legislative
policy. We may concede this proposition
| as in part true. We may attribute 20
Democratic Legislation its share Of this
responsibility. But the fact can not be
denied or disproyed that the only reduc'
ton Of debt or taxes has been made by the
Republican party Of the State. 1t is
equally true that no reduction OF debt OF
taxes or reformation Of abuses has been
made in the city administration. now and
heretofore chiefly in the hands Of Demo.
Gratis. Are these causes then purely polit-
ical? Can they be removed by means ex-
clusively political: There is claimed
great Democratic victory in the city. The
State government has been captured by
armed force and paralyzed beyond the
power Of good or evil Has there been an
improvement in the price Of city OF State
securities: Do our merchants sell more
goods, or our employers pay better wages
than before the election? Do we recover OF
replace trade that has been lost: On the
contrary, not only is the state Of trade
and industry just as il was, but some
thousands Of men assured that they would
have employment or an Office. shrong
daily the balls Of the city.
The alleged political abuses Of the State
ard city government can not then be the
! sole or the chief cause Of this continual
decline. We repeat that the Republican
! party is prepared to unite in making all
the political reforms and legislative limi.
tations that may be necessary, aud we
demand that our opponents shall say
whether the object Of their agitations is
the good of the State OF The offices Of the
| State. Do they wish the system Of State
government SO reformed that no execu.
tive can abuse its powers, or is their OBJ
iect to drive one set Of men from Office
and an alleged power Of abuse that they
may occupy the offices and perpetrate the
l alleged abuses themselves? This is what
! we wish to know. and ask distinct reply.
Shall we have it !? We have admitted that
the Picayrue has an exceptional capacity
to comprehend the limitations of con-
stitutional government, with the rights of
a citizen who is party to tina. govern
ment. Viii it say whether it wants re.
form or Office: Whether it considers the
cause Of our decline, politics, and its cure.
violence and prescription, or will it be
content with constitutional and legal re-
form, by union of Republican with other
conservative influence, and the develop.
ment of industries by tolerance and order:
