Lord Chief Justice Cockburn has again
distinguished himself He has just fined
and imprisoned a member of Parliament
for stating in a communication to one of
the English newspapers that the testimony
Of one of the witnesses in the Tichborne
case bore evidence Of truthfulness. As
Judge Cockburn has once set this testi-
mony aside because he did not believe it
to be true. he takes advantage of his posi-.
ton to call Mr.. Whalley, the writer, be.
fore him and asking him to pay $3.50 for
his opinion. So it seems opinion is not
free on all subjects in England any more
than it was in the South a few years ago.
But there is great excitement on this sub.
ject. The people have taken up the
gauntlet in favor of the imprisoned rep.
resentative and against the arbitrary.
tyrannical judge. But the contest is an
unequal one. The Chief Justice has
neither law, right nor common sense on
his side, and will have to yield. He
should know that nothing is law in Eng
land that interferes with the liberties of
the subject.

The Senate Committee on Comm erce
seem to have been in too big hurry to
get after our towboat monopoly. Upon
evidence deemed satisfactory, they con-
denim that corporation for willfully OBJ
structing the mouth of the Mississippi for
purposes of gain, and bill to put stop
to such distractions to commerce has
been reported. The debate on Friday
showed remarkable unanimity upon one
branch Of the subject. Senators Thur.
man. Carpenter. Window and Conkling
took part il this debate. AL agreed that
the towboat companies need little whole

to get, but. unfortunately. the committee
had suggested an improper form OF rem

forward it wilt probably be free from OBJ.

THE TARIFF ON FOOD.

Cities are built by the labors OF the poor
Just as the eternal walls Of the coral reef
are rear ed by tho aggregate accumulations
of the in sect 'toilers of the sea-"
It's people resort to this or that city in
the United States as the inducement OF
cheap food and fair wages may attract
them. Any community which imposes q
tariff on the market food of the people
repels the immigration Of labor, or drives
it away. The city of New Orleans. with
its debt of twenty-three millions of
dollars, its annual expenses of from
four to five millions Of dollars. and
very little to show for either. has
resorted to the unwise resource Of i'm
posing a part of the extravaganza by sell.
ing annually an exclusive license to supply
the poor with all the market food which
they consume. We have nothing to add to
what we have written to the crime OF
monopoly, but city that subsists, IN
whole or in part, by laying practical tar
if upon every handful of beans or dish OF
crayfish that goes into the popular mouth
has made very small advance upon that
Roman Emperor who found nothing too
vile to render its tribute. Let us test this
injustice by analysis. A farmer brings to
town a dozen of poultry or peck OF
roasting ears. If permitted to take these
articles Of food to the customer, the poor
could purchase. The farmer is not al
lowed to sell without license, and is
thus driven to the monopolists of the
market. They allow him just enough to
bring him to town with another lot of
peas or poultry. When these articles
meet the purchaser in market they are.
perhaps, inaccessible to the poor.
If small dealers choose to establish
green groceries and furnish their neigh
bors with fresh fish, meat or vegetables,
they are met with the imposition of a
prohibitory tariff in the shape Of IL
cense The whole fresh food supply OF
the poor is thus given in monopoly to a
favored class, who grow rich by exact
ing q large profit on the farm produce
of the country. Practically an arrogant
nonopoist bloated with beet and brandy.

THE ROAD TO RENOWN.

When Senator Pinchback was toiling
in humble and unenlightened sphere,
unconscious of the honors which Provi-
dence had in store. how could he have
imagined his own personal importance in
the future: We will only mention one
phase that would have astounded him to
imagine. He has now daily paper.
formerly Of the largest circulation. de-
voted to the record of every incident Of
his biography. It racks its respectable
brains for theories Of his conduct--why
he asks a decision on primo .facie show.
ing; why he consents to go before COM
mittec. His most secret intentions are
ascertained by some most eminent attor.
neys employed for that purpose. and they
telegraph in the most expensive manner
his every change of mood and move.
ment. Thus we knew last week that he
was curious at an alleged desertion by
his friends. It is next stated that there
was continuous stream Of kilograms from
the Legislature. bidding him beware;
next Mr.. Pinchback was appeased. and
his colored constituents had rallied around
him in unbroken phalanx. and now there
seems to be no show for new election.
The Fusion fus;leers are bid to keep their
powder dry for the next.
Thus is honor achieved. Every hero
mus. have a clique whose sole business is
to malign him. Pic itur ad as'ra. Thus
men ascend to eminence by treading
down step after step Of calumny. The
accumulation Of reputed obloquy is the
pedestal upon which integrity becomes
conspicuous.
Senator Pinchback has received a re-
markable share of this involuntary aid to
eminence. While true republican jour
nails spread his reputation for intelligence
and integrity abroad. throughout the
world. it is reserved for the Picaylne to
show that defamation. "though fame.s
posterioy trumpet blows" may render set.

employed to injure, and thus magnify the

ANENT 4 NEW ELECTION.

The Associated Press dispatches Inform
US that the best opinions IN Washington
are in favo. Of q new election. But our
private adyices do not sustain such view
Of the case. We have dispatch from

stands between the benefcient gifts Of our
fertile soil and the needy and impover-
ished laborer. He-this monopolist mid
dleman-takes from the excess of the
one and the wants of the other enough
to maintain him in prosperous imbecility.
Is there a Democrat in the city adj
ministration in favor of high tariff on
food? Is there q fnancier among them
who deems that the revenues of the city
can be improved by pinchipg the poor
to enrich the idle?
We have one word for the representa-
tives who have with such sagacity stood
by the poor in this struggle with the mo-
uopolists.
There are seven or eigh. thousand COL
ored laborers, chiefly employed on the
leyee and in handling produce. They
have women and children dependent on
them. They can not now buy pair of
fowls or q peck Of apples from the boats
that they unload without exposing this
boat to danger of fine and penalties.
These colored and corresponding class
Of white people represent the laborine
poor. They are driven to the corner
grocery and the market stall. Their food
and fuel comes to them charged with ex.
cessive profits.
II the Legislature will stand by these
poor and defrauded people. reduce their
taxes and cheaper their food. they can do
their work cheaper for the city and for the
people. With this reduction in the cost
of living. more labor will resort 70 the
city: rents. prices and even wages will be
less. New Orleans will no longer be
avoided as must expensive city, and all
will be happier and more Independent.
Let the Legislature cut down the ex.
penditures, debt and taxation Of tie city,
and there will no longer be a need for this
tariff on the peas and poultry Of the poor.
1t is the extravaganza Of the rich that oc.
casions the miseries Of the poor. The
Democratic Administrators should repeal
the tariff on catfish and potatoes. 1t is
alike an inconsistent. ruinous and con.
temptible mode of raising revenues. Let
it be repealed.
