But what is Democratic sympathy Tor the
commercial suferings of others! Inc
Times regards no more for those people
in their miseries than drayman thun-
dering through the street would care for
the sick headache Of the sleepless In
valid. The Times is driving on to party
and commercial supremacy, and will de-
rive from our overflow two arguments:
l. The starvation of colored laborers
may diminish the Republican vote.
2. The total ruin of the planter will SO
cripple our merchants that our sugar and
cotton must be marketed in st. Louis.
Such is the kind guardianship of our
affectionate sister. It corresponds very
well with the proposal of Mississippi to
subdivide and partition Louisiana among
her neighbors. Our territory assigned to
Arkansas, TEXAS and Mississippi, our kind
guardians OF st. Louis will administer on
our commerce.

THAT EXPLANATORY LAW.
The following decision being short, We
nresAnf If in fnlI.

The following decision being short, We
present it in full:
| No. 1872 City of New Orleans va. Louis
lana Mutual Insurance Company, appellant
| From Superior District Court. This case
Insurance Company, decided by this court
in 1873 and reported at page $50 of the
| Twenty fifth Annual.
We adhere to the views then expressed.
! Act No. 81 of 1874 can have no effect in
this case, which is to collect taxes levied in
1872 for 1873, as laws can not have a retro
active effect under the constitution of this
| State.
If the act of 1874 was to interpret the
| acts of 1871 and 1872, as seems to be its pur-
| pose, it is unconstitutional, because trench
ing upon the jurisdiction of the judiciary
70 interpret laws is not within the powers of
the General Assembly; it is not legisla-
tive, but a judicial function.
1t is, therefore, ordered that the iudg-
| ment appealed from be affirmed with costs.
It will be seen by this decision
that the explanatory act" passed by the
late Legislature has been declared to be
imperative and void. This is the famous
insurance companies bill, by which it was
sought to evade the payment of a capital
tax upon taking out one thousand dol
lar license. The history of the origin of
this bill is slightly obscure. 1t may have
orr ginated in the Legislature voluntarily.
SO me close observer or attentive student
OF political and financial philosophy may
have conceived the idea that some such
concession as act No. 81 provided for was
due to the insurance companies. But as
there were very few members of the late
General Assembly who had both the taste
and the talent for looking into questions
of ct hics, and the time to frame them into
laws, we are forced to look upon the plea
with great suspicion, the more especially
as there was some hard talk about certain
insu rance employees who spent portion
of their time for several days together in
the Legislative Hobbies. There were those
who openly charged the insurance COM
panies with having bribed members enough
to secure the success of this bill. But
this report was doubtless SANDER, for we
believe that respectable old Democratic
insurance agent would no more tempt
man to do wrong than an average member
Of the last Legislature would accept a
bride. This view settles that question and
leaves us as much in doubt as to how the
insurance bill ever got into and through
the Legislature as Topsy was of her Or
igin. 81 spec growed."
But however that may have been, the
labor was all in vain. 1t was explained in
the REPUBLICAN Of March 81 that this
was an attempt on the part of the Legis-
latu re to usurp the functions of the Su-
pre- me Court. Act No. 81 was really intend
ed, We. believe it certainly was calculated to
rever Sc the judgment of Judge Hawkins,
a affirmed by the Supreme Court, in the
case of the city VS.. the Salamander Insur-
ance Company. Having no other effect
or meaning, it has been very summary
set aside
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-05-06

honesband sensible men to the Legisla-
ture, and none others. The Republican
party and its organs will have in the
next campaign perhaps more than
average responsibility for all the
bad laws passed and for any indefensible
acts done by the Republican majority in
the last Legislature. Let, then, the next
nominees be men not subject to reproach
for any such malfeasance. We have hon.
est men enough in the Republican party;
let them be sent to the front, and the
rogues,, if there be any, to the rear. If
men be borne down by the weight of their
personal dishonesty, as their gains are
individual, they have no right to expect a
party or the press to make their cause its
own.
We have adverted to the cessation of
contest on principles. Let US, then, put
up men whose personal character will dis
arm personal opposition and attract per-
sonal support. The same abatement of
party strife will operate against us. If our
opponents bring forward an honest, intel
hgent and sober candidate, and if we pre-
sent in opposition man ignorant, dis
honest and immoral, the same influences
of personal and representative worth will
operate to keep Republicans from going to
the polls for the bad man, or even in send-
ing them to vote for the good man. 1t is
not improper to remind our friends that
the Republican party elsewhere is not so
Jealous to vindicate any political error or
shortcoming among us as it might have
done when our government at the South was
entirely experimental. There comes a
time when even the parent bird ceases to
feed its offspring and leaves them to pro-
vide for themselves. It would be even All
imputation upon the wisdom of past &C.
ton to intimate that it required perpetual
supervision and enforcement. Let Re-
publican Louisiana assume the care and
responsibility for its own acts and stand
upon its own merits. We shall have no
fear of its capacity to do so.
We can not do otherwise than applaud
the wisdom of the resolutions, which
will prove proper model for party action
everywhere. Garry out these sensible
rules of nomination and election, and the
Republican party may receive the access
sion of valuable members. Reinstate the
Slidell system of ward cliques, shoulder
hitters, free doggeries and political
frauds, and the Republican heart else
where as well as at home will sicken, and |
the strong arm of the Republican party |
will be paralyzed.
