A EUMRUG EXPOSED,

Almost simultaneously the question Of
the validity Of tie law lately enacted to
prevent cruelty to animals was submitted
to two Of our district courts for decision.
In the Superior Court a judgment was
rendered on Thursday, in tie case Of the
Carrollton Railroad Company VS.. the So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals, in which Judge Hawkins decid-
ed against the latter, assigning his rea-
sons for the Judgment in an opinion
characterized by great vigor, learning and
an intimate acquaintance with the princi-
pies Of justice. The effect Of this deci-
sion is to completely nullify the law and
set tie amateur humanitarians adrift.
They are deprived of the inquisi-
torial, arbitrary and tyrannical powers
they claimed the right to exercise, and
are RENTED TO the position of private citi-
zens, responsible for their acts, being no
longer permitted to shield themselves be-
hind assumed Judicial powers. Judge
Cullom, of the Fifth District Caurt, fol-
lows On the same side, as the lawyers say,
with an opinion which reaches fully to
the extent of that rendered by Judge
Hawkins. We may, therefore, conclude
the matter is settled, as the judgment of
these able jurists is not likely to be dis
turbed by the Supreme Court, even if any
one shall have the folly to take case up
to that tribunal.
The Society for the Prevention Of Cruel
ty to Animals, as it is known, showed
from the outset Of their career in trying,
a doubtful experiment that they were not
tie proper persons in whose hands such
great power as they claimed to exercise
should be vested. Doubtless they might
have accomplished much good by wiser
course; but it soon transpired that they
were making themselves obnoxious to
many and the laughing stock of others.
Their power for usefulness was thus de-
stroyed at once, ana people began to in
quire into the title upon which they relied
for so much oficious interference with
other peoples business. The answer is
to be found in the records of the Superior
and the Fifth District Courts.

THE GOD NAME OF LOUISIANA.

Our friehs Of the Bulletin apprehend
that the remarks of the REPUBLICAN rela-
tive to the practices under the old jury
system are libelous, and that Louisiana
is the victm of the libel. If our con-
temporary an establish from the records
of the pas twenty years that we lave
exaggerated the matter, or been in the
least unjus, we shall be more than de-
lighted to make the amende, and offer
such suitabe apology to Louisiana as may
be deemed appropriate in the premises.
Our policereports have been referred to
as evidences of condition of morals
which ''theold, the stable and the pres
ent conservative population have I'M
sparingly ondemned, while it is well
known to is that during the ten years
immediatel, preceding the war COM
plants We constantly made that
very many offenders were never ar
rested at all In the meantime, such was
the practicein the criminal courts that
convictions we're obtained with the ut
most difficulty, and there We're almost
daily complaints on account Of the nu-
merous verdicts of mot guilty" We
did not allude to the matter for the pur-
pose Of rejecting upon those who ruled
in our affairs at that time, but to show
that necessity existed for some such
change as isprovided for in the new law.
In lecturing US, however, for ibeling
Louisiana, our contemporary has been

THE NATION'S ETRTEDAY.

1t becomes the duty Of the pubic Jour-
nalist in republican America to again
remind the votalies of civil and religious
liberty that this is the birthday Of Ameri-
can independence. Ninety-eight years
ago today, nearly three centuries after
the discovery of America by Columbus,
the representatives Of the descendants Of
the venerated men who established the
thirteen American colonies were IN solemn
deliberation on the Declaration Of hide
pendence that gave birth to great nation.
At that time these colonies did not con-
tain more than three millions of inhabit-
ants, and the work of settlement had been
going On for nearly two hundred years;
but as has been observed, to the virtues
which adorned the people Of these two
centuries, their patience in days OF suf-
fering, the courage and patriotic zeal
with which they asserted their rights;
and the wisdom they displayed in laying
the foundations Of our government must be
attri buted the success which has attended
it since that time. If the growth OF the
colonies had been slow up to that period,
in co nsequence of the despotic foreign
rule, the tine had arrived when great
change was to be effected through the
influence Of the benefcent representative
government established by the heroes ard
patriots of 1915. A century has not
passed since that time, and cur country
has grown from thirteen feeble colo
MES to almost three times that num-
Der of large and Aourishing States,
embracing a population Of over
forty millions. This has been the
result, it will be remembered, Of ninety
eight years Of republican government,
and during that tiue the country has ex-
perienced many years CT war, that have
proved more or less disastrous to the
growth and material wealth Of the coun-
try. We say these things in the face Of
the fact that it has been said that the set
Element Of America and the history Of her
revol utiCn are becoming "a trl-e theme;
for we 60 not believe the people can be-
come tired Of historical facts that reflect
so much credit upon their country and
its institutions. With unity the people
OF the colonies were enabled to throw of
the CALLING yoke that England had en-
deavored to tx upon them; and under TIE
benign influence Of well regulated popu-
lar government. the country has grown,
in less than a century, to be a great
nation, This growth in greatness is in
deed marvellous something that the
American people have reason to be proud
of-and they should endeavor to perpetu-
ate the virtues OF the patriots Of the ear
lier days OF the republic by becoming
united in support Of government
founded upon correct principles. If the
present generation appreciate the ez-
cellence of their government, they will
initiate their foretatlers' example by re-
tanning a wholesome remembrance Of
the nations birthday.

guilty OF doing the very thing he accused
us Of. We disclaim any intent to censure
the political friends of the Bulletin any
further than censure may be implied in
our preference for system which they did
| not adopt We know the cold and stable
population" were dissatisfied with the sys-
tenn of fifteen years ago, for we have heard
very free and emphatic expressions Of
| opinion upon the subject any time along
in the '.ifties" But we disclaim any at
tempt to ''puil down in public estima-
ton" any class of citizens. Not because
to do SO would be specially libel upon
Louisiana, of which they are component
| part, but because any statement which
| places people in a false attitude is unjust.
If our remarks are to be construed as a
'libel upon Louisiana" what are we to
think OF the Bulletins arraignment of
another class, which is as much part OF
Louisiana as the people it seeks to defend
before they have been attacked? Is one
class to be exempted from criticism alto
gether, because to censure them would be
to libel the whole State, including large
majority who do not always approve their
acts, and sometimes fail to see the tran
scendent virtues which are so loudly pro-
claimed by their too partial admirers
And is there no libel of Louisiana in
volved in such comments as these upon
another side:
The complaint made of late years against
juries in this State owes its origin and con-
tinuance to the new element Of our popula-
tion-tO the unprincipled carpet-baggers and
the ignorant emancipated negroes who are
qualified jurors among US, and who together
torn the tyrant's party low dominant in
Louisiana.
1t is the now dominant party which
is thus spoken of-that is the party in
the majority, and as such the legal ex-
ponent Of the State.
The laws are presumed to be made by
innocent men, to restrain the wicked. 1t
is sometimes necessary to resort to pun
ishment, because offenders will not
yield to anything short of force or fear Of
consequences. The duty Of the law maker
is fully accomplished when he has made
provision that the prisoner shall not be
made the victim of personal spite on the
part Of juror, the object being to give
him perfectly fair trial. But technical
tiles are more frequantly relied upon than
honest conduct; and fixed jury cares
for no other consideration except to let
the prisoner 60 as soon as possible. We
are too familiar with the police records of
this city to express unqualified ap.
proval Of the practices which grew up
under the old jury system, and the uni
versal satisfaction with which the new
law has been received by all classes of
people convince US that there was a
necessity for reform and that the very
best men in the city agree with US.
Hence We have not been guilty of libel
against them. It will be remembered,
also, that our Gravier street neighbor
speaks approvingly Of the new law SO far,
but like the little girl, feared trouble
might come, and began to weep years in
advance about it.

TEE WAGES CF NEUTRALITY.

The Al copper-fastened vessel which
lately went into the carrying trade, under
the flag Of '.immovable neutrality" has
been detected carrying a contraband
cargo, and each belligerent has pounced
upon some article particularly pernicious
to its interests, and it is libeled all around
for a violation Of its charter. The Bulletin
and the Times having fred the customary
shot under its foretoot have compelled it
to heave too, and send boat aboard with
its ships papers. Enraged with this con-
centrated contumely the Pic has been
compelled to abandon its Quaker hobby
and hoist first the White League, and
then the Independent banner. From be-
ing non-combatant its hand is against
every man and the hand of every man is
against it. And now the Bee lufs
and lets the Pic have a broad
side, on account Of its contraband mode
Of divulging exaggerated reports. 'There
seems" says the Bee, that our contempo-
raries beyond Canal street have mono
mania which will not allow them to re-
port the most ordinary facts without the
most formidable headings printed in let
tiers as large as ones thumb, and present
ing to their readers through the magnify
ing lines Of the imagination, events ap-
parently of little consequence. If a drop
of water falls on the nose, they cry at
once what terrible tempest, and advise
their hearers to raise their umbrellas in
stantly.
"We are passing through veritable cpl
demic of sensations, and the contagion
spreads instead of diminishing 1t is
some days since PicGyaGae announced in
the same tone that it would have reported
the arrest of pickpocket, or the one hun
dred and twenty-second conviction of that
eternal thief, Kinch Malone, that we
are all to be murdered by the negroes on
the fourth of July next, and that the white
widows who survived would be condemned
to become the spouses, more or less legiti-
mate of the aforesaid murderers. 1t was
pretty tight on US to sandwich our death
warrant between the quack certificates of
Monsieur x, and puff Of the low rates Of
sugar-cured hams. Very we'll. But there
were great many people who were
so simple as to believe the Pic upon its
word, so its article has thrown fright and
CONSERVATION into the breasts Of very
many old women The Bee adds this very
proper comment: "Our people are worn
out with sensation articles. They are too
much Injured to murders. Robbery can
no longer excite them, and they can
scarcely be content unless the columns Of
their journal serve up dead body, al
ready liyid, and seasoned with mystery.
''It must be said that it is these sensation
journals, with their raw head and bloody
bones and much ado about nothing,
which have led to this morbid appetite,
and now that it is confirmed, it has be-
come necessary to furnish every day re-
past which will please their patients
SIN devising expedients our confreres in
vent good deal-witness the Pic-but
most frequently they limit themselves to
so embroider the facts that there is always
certain resemblance to the actual event
and little truth in the details"
And in closing, the Bee can not avoid
giving sting to its old friend the Pc.
