Henry Bell registered No. 1863, from No. - Lau.

for Joseph Herwig.
have only to say don't know OF think ever
SAW any Henry Bell, have never purchased any
registration papers Of anybody, and never made
any remark that was buying for Mr.. Herwg, or.
to my recollection, have mentioned his name in
conversation for many months.
stated these facts to Major Burke and others
and to the editor Of the Picayune. The result is
the following paragraph Of Mondays afternoon
edition Of that paper:
In the case of Henry Bell, who was seen in posses
sion of two separate papers, respe ctive
ly Nos. 1869 and 1884 issued to himself it appears
that the Peter Bradley reported a. having pur
chased the same has been unjustly mentioned in
this connection Inquiry at the Conservative Of

and we therefore offer the correction.
This absolves me from such unjust charges with
the readers Of that paper, but desire that my
friends who do not rely on that journal for facts
should see that am set right in the Republican.

THE COMMON LAW---THE PERFECTION OF
REASON.

The very unfortunate advice o! the
Seven League attorneys has occasioned
much trouble to Louisiana. and their as
surance that the Second District Court is
proper entry to citizenship may be
added to the mischief. Your average at
torney will advise you any way for fee.
Their object is no: to promote justice, but
to evade the law. The opinion of !Attor-
ney General Field differs from that of the
legal gentlemen retained for the White
League. His opinions are those OF 9
sworn law officer of the State. It is q
principal part of his duty to defend and
advise the State authorities. and for this
he receives no special fee. As a counselor
Of the State, chosen and sworn for the
public service. his official opinion will
weigh down thousand Of those who
would defend Pierre Berth as a much
injured man, and Carney as q martyr to
Judicial structures. In this we pass no
censure. Justice requires that the best
shall be said and shown for the worst
case. So we take the official and sworn
opinion Of the chief law officer of the
Commonwealth as against the most willy
and plausible attorneys who volunteer to
contradict him.
The opinion itself is brief and couciu.
sive. 1t is shown that the act of Congress
Of 1902 required that any court granting
letters Of naturalization to aliens should
possess jurisdiction at common law.
Superficial attornies rarely know much of
history, and those who practice under the
Civil Code of Louisiana, have little famil.
iarity with the Anglo-Saxon history of the
common law. The use Of this term bv
Congress. therefore. appears to such at.
tornies mere pleonasm. The men who
framed that law Of 1902 knew, however,
the value Of common law jurisdiction.
They knew it had assured their ancestors
liberty and justice. They had preserved its
absolute. or its anaiogical authority. when
they threw Oft regal government that. in
their opinions violated the principles of
the common law. Hence they demanded
its jurisdiction and guarantee when an
alien was to be admitted to citizenship in
the United States. Naturalization is a
statutory right. and Congress proposed it
should be executed under a jurisdiction CO.
val with Runnymede and the reformation
and the declaration Of American indie
pendence. Congress did not at the date
OF the law own Louisiana, but it wisely
foresaw that the code Of the Pandects. of
the Scripts. Of the Emperors and the de-
crees OF the Pope was not the law for free
born Republicans. Then, if the White
League attorneys will read ENGLISH
history they will find that the an
cestors Of the men Of l77c main. |
tanned the common law centur;e, 400
when they repealed an attempt Of the |
clergy to impose upon them the civil law.
It was then that they said in the Latin Of /
that day. I'VE are not willing to change

cause the civil law is the imperial law,
enacted not by the people, but an en-
peror; not adopted like the common law
by the will and assent of the people, but
avowing the doctrine that 1.-THE King is
the author and expounder of the law"
Well might those men of 1902 have guard
ed the rights Of man, and required that
the alien should come into the Union
through ga court of common law" 1t was
well and worthily done. It was done efec-
tually, as has been shown in the clear and
succinct Anglo Saxon of Attorney General
Field, who knows and values the common
law as Attorney General Coke himself.
