THE STATE MILITIA

Among the many other unnecessary ex-
penses which bid fair to be Topped off is
that consequent upon the maintenance of
the State militia. Attorney General Field
has put stop to further proceedings
under the item in the appropriation bill
which authorizes an unlimited liquidation
for past Indebtedness, and we hope Judge
Hawkins will sustain him. Aside from
the Metropolitan Police, o portion of
which has been sent to the front on two
or three occasions, the Louisiana militia
has been useful only on parade and gala
days. During the last year of Warmoth's
term, large portion of the militia re-
volted from lawful authority, and turned
their guns menacingly toward the au-
thority they were organized to protect,
and had to be disarmed by United States
troops. subsequent law provided for
calling the city police into service as mi
litiamen whenever occasion called for
superior force to put down rebellion, and

Here is an accumulated value of more
than three times that Of the older portion
! OF the city. 1t has been made since the
| purchase and annexation Of the French
province. Here is burden Of double the
| amount Of taxes paid by the American
| over that paid by the older or French
| part of the city. Is this extraordinary
| progress of one part and stagnation Of the
other att ributable to the abuses of gov
eminent? 1t would seem equally appli-
cable to each, and if it be repressive of
prosperity, how admirable must be that
energy which converts that rule which
makes ruins in one part Of the city into
prosperity and progress in another?
The Bee cries like the voice of a
screech owl out of these ruins, and re-
proaches the act Of emancipation with the
legislative abuses. Why, the ancient in
habitants of the city and State first i'm
ported the blacks into the country but
for his there could have have been no
possible emancipation, and SO these NAL
contents might, by little self-denial on
the part Of their venerated ancestors, have
been say ed the attributed devastation.
1t would seem better for the future Of
that part of the city represented by the
organ of discomfort and desolation, 20
turn to some other mode of repairing the
ruins, or evening some of them. 1t
has been the policy of those who
wish to overturn the government
to represent that Louisiana is in state
of "anarchy, and that she has no
laws binding upon the obedience of her
citizens. This testimony may be employ
ed by our competitors for immigration to
convince Europeans that this is no fit To-
cation for people who value life or proper

Withholding of foreign capital. otherwise

icy on the part of these intractable and in
tolerant advisers. Suppose they, by good
temper instead of abuse-forbearance in
stead Of assault institute an inquiry into
the true causes of commercial decline, in
stead of attributing it to a single and in
sufficient cause. 1t would seem better for
these malcontents to accept American cit
izenship, and cease to grieve after the
flesh pots Of France. II these malcoutents

ana, and invoke another civil war. Let
these De Tocquevilles who know more Of
America than its citizens go to country
where there is republican government.
The republic of France has an executive
elected by the legislature, to hold Office
for an indefinite term. The mission of
such insidious .agitators is ended. The
attempt to strengthen =. monarchy in Europe
by detaming republican government in
America don't pay-unless to any who
may have subvention for that service to
return to this side of the ocean. The
agitation in dead language can not have
much effect to arrest, decline or restore
prosperity. Even with the defeat Of the
Republican party the ruinous part of the
city would profit little. Whether Kellogg
or McEnery be the Governor, the principal
administrative offices of the State will fall
to American citizens, white or colored.
All this outcry against the alleged cor
ruption and injustice Of the government,
all this publication in a foreign tongue of
statements prejudicial to the state of So
clety and industry can bring no advantage
The enmity and division of a force
insufficient for the public service,
leaves the ruins of New Orleans like
those of Rome. They crumble and
tumble, while the hands which should
arrest and repair are engaged in polemi-
cal strife that absorbs all the energies
OF the combatants. The American
has great horror of ruins. He inva-
riably builds their stones up into a habi-
tation, or pounds them down into road |
way. 1t is to be regretted that the same
lrreconcilable intolerance which has writ |
ten its legends in the ruins abroad should
have found footing in any part of America,
where its reign is marked by the same

our militia system was in effect superseded.
1t has been for two years useless but
very expensive ornament. We doubt
whether the Adjutant General could to-
day muster militiamen enough to suppress
a mob Of one hundred armed men with
out calling on the police or United States
troops.
Louisiana is too poor to indulge in an
expensive luxury. Under the present
law, the police are amply sufficient for
all probable emergencies, and may be
depended upon. They have never, how
ever, as charged by the Picayune, ''gone
over to Kellogg" or to any other person,
but have bravely done their duty in
obedience to lawful authority. If Mr.. Nc
Emery were Governor the police would
obey his call to duty with as much alacri-
ty as they did Governor Kelloggs. At
all events, dismissal would have followed
disobedience 10 matter who had been
Governor.

which is credited to Adjutant General
Street. 1t any rate, a PicayAne reporter
gives him as authority for the following:
The State had contracted for large num-
Der OF uniforms, which they have received
yet never paid for. We owe other debts,
W hich are included in the $25 600 appropria-
ton thus enjoined, and with the other for
our expenses in the future also locked up,
we can not bulge. All desired was a very
small sum-the entire branch of the service
beng run at a much less rate than has been
done for years. l am in hopes. however,
that the injunction will be shortly with |
drawn, and everything will go on as usual; |
otherwise. the Louisiana State militia is a |
thing that will be known no more.
We do not know who had the authority |
to contract for these uniforms. If the bar |
gain was made in pursuance Of law there
S hould have been clause in it appropri-
atlng the necessary amount Of money. Or,
it may have been thought by the aw-mak-
ing power that the one hundred thousand
dollars appropriated last year would be
for all expenses. Certainly, no
one had the legal right to pledge the credit
Of the State for one dollar beyond the sum
authorized to be drawn for militia pur-
poses. Some of the most arbitrary and
