THE CITY SLATE, CHARTER, ETC

In our issue of Thursday morning, the fol.
lowing paragraph appeared in short article
on "The City Slate .
It is stated Mr.. J. H. Oglesby has had con-
siderable influence in securing these names,
and his influence with Kellogg effected their
appointment
The report Of Mr.. Oglesby having used his
influence with Kellogg came to us from quite
a number of sources, and as there was nothing
improbable in it, we gave it as we received it.
The idea that any man in this community
occupying prominent position would lend
himself to, or be in any way connected with,
the infamy Of that charter was we confess.
surprising, but Mr.. Oglesby had surprised us
before, and the fact is we have been in such a
chronic condition of amazement ever since
that We feel sure he will not blame us for
lending somewhat ready ear to the report in
question.
We are really gratifed to learn that Mr..
Oglesby Indignantly denies any participation
in this business, which no man can touch
or become party to without bringing down
on his head the just indignation of the entire
community. The following denial Of the re-
port was received from Mr. Oglesby last even

SETTLED.

| The Times of Thursday morningy says that
question has been raised challenging the right
of the Second District Court for the parish OF
Orleans to issue naturalization papers, and
that the Attorney General has the point under
| consideration.
| The question is of easy solution. The first
clause of the first section of the Act OF Con-
gress 'sto establish a uniform rule of natural
ization, and to repeal the acts heretofore
passed on that subject approved April IA,
1902, enacts:
That any alien may be
admitted to become citizen of the United
States, or any Of them, on the following con-
ditions, and not otherwise: First, that he
shall have declared on oath or affirmation, be-
fore the Supreme. Superior, District, or Circuit
Court, of some Of the States, or of the Terri
torial Districts of the United States, or of
Grcui or District Court of the United States,
three years, at least, before Ills admission, that
it was bona ride his intention to become a citi-
zen of the United States, etc.
The third section of the same act reads as
follows
Sec. 3. And whereas, doubts have arisen
whether certain courts of record in some of
the States are included within the description
of District or Circuit C ourts; Be it further
enacted, That any Court Of record IN any indi-
cid,tal State, having common law jurisdiction
and seal and clerk or Prothonotary, shall be |
considered as District Court ,cittin tie meaning
Of this act and every alien who may have |
been naturalized in any such court, shall en-
joy, from and after the passage of the act, the
same rights and privileges as if he had been
in District or Circuit Court of the
United States.
These sections of law stand ulrepealed.

Is IT NOT WARP

The Republican thinks the BULLETIN is
craving mad" because We have deprecated
the action of the United States authorities in
invading a State with its army to arrest per
sons who are not chargeable with any crime
against the General Government, but who, il
they have offended at all, have offended the
State and are amenable to the State laws.
The Republican objects to our calling the ex-
listing state of affairs war against States
rights and a conspiracy against the Republic
We are not surprised by our inability to
please the over-fastidious Radical organ, but
seriously deplore the necessity which causes
that paper to sustain the most monstrous
wrongs upon our people and fragrant abuses
upon the State by the central power at Wash
ington.
We may be wrong in our opinion as to the
right of the United States to interfere in mat
tiers that are purely local, and over which the
State has jurisdiction; bu t if we are, we have
at least the consolation of knowing that We
err in good company, and that not only JUS
tice Bradley, but every jurist of national fame,
take. The REPUBLICAN is bolstered up by such
legal small fry as Williams and Beckwith, and
such malignant political demagogues as Nor
ton and Jasper Blackburn, and we are content
to let it abide in such disreputable company,
believing that everybody has perfect right to
select his society.
OF course the Republican has not stated
fairly our position, and perhaps it would be
too much to look for fairness from
the organ i'll the heat Of political canvass
but what We have specially objected to is the
overthrow by the United States authorities of
the legitimate State Government, the arrest |
Of citizens Of Coushatta by deputy United |
States marshals-with United States soldiers at |
heir heels-upon the charges Of numbering |
certain citizens of the State, the attempt to in
imidate the white citizens of the State from
7oting by causing imposing displays of military,
he vast powers which have been placed in the
hands of such INSCRIPTIONS instrum ents as
Williams, Packark and Beckwith, the deter
evinced by Federal authorities to
the voice of the people and fix upon
hem the chains Of detested usurpation. If
his does not mean war upon freedom of
bought and speech, if it be not rnde over
oppling of all preconceived opinions as to
States rights and personal rights, and if is not
IL clearly indicative Of determination to
onvert the Republic into centralized des-
'otism, then we are a little confused, that's

CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS.

| Under this caption the Radical organ pub
fishes the sections of an act prohibiting the
discharge of negroes, for political reasons
and attempts thereby to restrain, BY intimida
| ton, the merchants AID others from carving
out their resolution to support no longer a
class Of people who work for the ruin of theil
employers. The Republican, however, knows
full well that this so-called law is one of the
abortions Of Legislature without legal exist
ence and the creation of Federal bayonets.
That even if the act of a legitimate Legisla-
ture, it would have no force whatever as it
bears upon its face gross violation of per-
sonal rights and is palpably unconstitutional,
and hence null and void in all its provisions
The Republican knows well, too, that no
decent or honest court in the land would for a
moment hesitate to pronounce against such an
iniqulty as the law which it holds up as bug
bear to the people.
No one is alarmed in the slightest and the
citizens will not be deferred in their purpose
Of cutting off the supplies of their enemies"
So long as such examples are set us daily by
Kellogg and his party, who remove negroes
from office and deprive them of their salaries
simply because they sign protests against the
frauds and corruptions of their own party,
there is no reason for anyone to fear the en-
forcement OF the law quoted by the Repu1li-
can.
If the attempt be made, however, then we
shall insist upon Antoine and Ingraham in
dieting Kellogg for 'misdemeanor;" in
this that be did discharge from employment
the aforesaid Antoine and Ingraham because
Of their votes, which they proposed to give
against the said Kellogg, all in violation of
the laws fthe State Of Louisiana, particularly

NATURALIZATION,
JURISDICTION OF THE SECOND DISTRICT COURT

Il.
1t is evident that the first section of the act
of Congress, approved April IA, 1902, confers
the power Of naturalization upon any District
Court of the State.
The third section is one which extends the
power of naturalization, instead of limiting
it, and enacts that any court of record, hav-
ing clerk and seal. and common law iuris-
diction, shall be considered as District
Court.
Therefore district court of Louisiana, hav-
ing clerk and seal, has unquestionable juris-
diction to naturalize aliens. In 1868 and 1870
the other district courts decided that the Sec
ond District Court had such power Is it
possible that the registration officers, who are
merely ministerial officers, will undertake to
set aside the DEGREES of court of record, pre-
sided over as it is by so able and intelligent
gentlemen as Judge Tissot?
There are no courts in Louisiana of cont
mon lac jurisdiction within the technical mean
ing Of this term, and to make it have any
meaning in Louisiana, the term cira lar
should be inserted. Moreover, the Second
District Court has the same jurisdiction over
many matters as the circuit and district
courts in the States where the common law
prevails.
In these common law States the County
Courts are generally the Probate Courts, and
their only power as such is to receive the proof
of wills, but the moment contest over will
arises, or suit is to be brought against an es-
tate, it is the District or Circuit Court that has
alone the jurisdiction, and all cases in which
the issues is "testi- fcuadum rel non," OF in
which contract made by the deceased is to be
must be brought in the courts of
law jurisdiction.
The Second District Court not only has
clerk, seal, and is court Of record but is
also a court having common lac jurisdiction;
that is, jurisdiction of cases arising at COM
mon law or of cases of which the common
aw courts, when such exist, have jurisdic-
ion.

Now let us turn to the registration records
OF 1868, the first complete registration since

years before the census, and does not show a
very great discrepancy from the census fig
ures. There were registered in 1870, 1873, 800

census. We do not take cognizance of the
frauds alleged by both sides to have been

virulent Republican administration, such as
We had in 1868, allowed the Democrats more
votes than they really cast Now, taking the
census and the official journal of the Repub-

the political parties to be as follows:

Assuming the figures of the Republican to
be correct, the Democratic party of this State
