MORE LOTISIANAS.

The Republican party never had any
hold on the Southern States exceptthat
of military force under the reconstruc-
ton acts, supplemented by the ignorant
preiudices of the freedmen. Both these
clements now failing them, they resort
&c open usurpations, depending on
Grant and Congress TO recognize them.
Simultaneous with the Louisiana i'm
broglio occurred a case exactly similar
in Arkansas, but with the parties re-
versed, the Arkansas Conservatives
taking the same identical ground as
the Louisiana Radicals. But the
United States Courts decided the two
cases differently, according to whose OK
was gored. Now we have a similar
doublet in Texas and Mississippi. The
elections held recently in these States
are treated as null and void by the par
ties now in possession. There are some
minor differences, it is true. The legal
ityofthe Mississippi election was mOoted
before it took place, while the Texas
election was not. But the main
point is that Governer-elect Coke, of
Texas, is a Democrat, who VIII displace
the Radical Davis; while Governor
elect Ames, of Mississippi, is a Radi-
cal and viii displace the nondescr1pt
Powers. In both States, the imbroglio
affects the legislatures, and gives two
sets Of county officers. OF the situa-
ton IN Mississippi We learn from the
TupeIo Standard that Gov. Powers has
notified the members Of the old Legis-
lature to meet at Jackson on the tveI-
tieth day of January ensuing-the time
prescribed by law-for the purpose OF
entering upon the work OF legislating
for the State. The ViekJurger remarks:
"One of the results of Radical igno-
rance is two sets of officers IN the State
of Mississippi. A legislature composed
of men Of sense wOuldnever have fallen
into the error of leaving 1t doubtful
whether there should or should not
have been an election last November.
There was no excuse but Ignorance for
such mistake. The constitution pro-
vides for holding elections biennially.
This is a simple, plain fact. 1t was
easy for the Legislature to have enact
ed laws to secure this result. As it is,
the people have to suffer for the igno-
rance of a set Of legislators who have
about as much ability to make laws for
a great commonwealth as they have to
calculate the time of the next eclipse
of the sun. 1t seems, now,
that a question that could have been
settled in an hours time by any man
Of sense. is 20 cause this State endless
trouble and confusion. The Radicals
are directly responsible for this state
of things. They made the constitution;
they control the legislature; and they
have thrown this State into this unpar-
donable imbrogEO. We understand
that in this county we have two sets of
officers sworn in, and we presume it Is
the case all over the State. How long
it will last no one can say. After a
decision of the Supreme Court on the
question, 1t is to be hoped that we Will
at least know which master we have to
serve. But. even then, it is by no
means certain that this will be acqui-
esced in by the defeated party"

rr,.prpsSCE LEGISLATION.

The Supreme Court Of Indiana, ON
the 9th inst, decided that the ninth
section of the temperance act of that
State, known as the Baxter law" Is
unconstitutional. That section makes
intoxication a penal offense, requiring
the arrest of intoxicated persons, and
forcing such persons to testify as to
where they procured the liquor, that
the seller may be proceeded against.
The court held this section unconstitu-
tional, because the subject it embraces
is not expressed in the title Of the bill.
The Indianapolis Journal says:
Section 8 of article 4 of the Consti-
tuition says: Every act shall embrace
but one subject, and matters properly
connected herewith, which subject
shall be expressed in the title. But If
any subject shall be embraced IN an
act which shall not be expressed in the
title. such an act shall be void only as
to SO much thereof as shall not be ex-
pressed in the title The title of the
Temperance law is: An act to regulate
the sale of intoxicating liquors, to pro-
vide against evils resulting from the
sale thereof etc. 1t would seem that
drunkenness might properly be classed
among the evils resulting from the sale
of liquors, but the court do not so re-
gard it. If the constitutional provision
is to be so technically construed the
title of an act, TO comply with it, must
be as long as the act itself"
The EuanSrille Courier says in no.
tice of this decision:
'.The prospect of having the author
of this bill IN Evansville shortly, gives
a transient interest to the whole SUBJ
ject of temperance legislation, which
seems to be a topic upon which public
opinion is pretty well divided. There
are many phases Of the question and
many high minded gentlemen and re-
mOrseless reasoners are arraigned on
either side. So far however as this
city and the Baxter bill is practically
concerned, there can beno doubt. The
law in most of its provisions is a dead
letter on the statute books, and we
have failed to see any results from its
operations. A law which cannot be
enforced, is calculated to bring con-
tempt upon law in general, and every
practical citizen viii acknowledge the
