ANOTHER DEFENSE OF JUDGE DuRELL

ANOTHER DEFENSE OF JUDGE DURELL
We have been handed pamphlet emit
| tied observations on the Case of Judge
| Durell, of Louisiana by Louisiana
Journalist. The writer is unknown tc
US, as such, though he is one who is ey;.
IDENTIFY well informed of the material his
tory of the case under treatment. He
urges, as one reason for appearing in
print, that the press has teemed with mis-
representations Of the action of Judge Du-
rell, and yet, up to the hour of publish
ing his pamphlet, these misrepresenta-
tons have received no sufficient expos
ure. After such an introduction we were
led to expect that some new light was
about to be thrown upon subject with
which nearly every intelligent man in
this city, and especially all journalists.
are thoroughly familiar. We are not able
to realize this very reasonable expectation
by q careful perusal of the "Observa-
tons" But we find in lieu of anything
new on the subject very we'll prepared
and succinctly presented statement of
such facts and deductions from them as
have been published time and again. AS
they bear evidences of truth, however,
and as the conclusions arrived at are logi-
cal and sound, in our opinion, some good
may possibly be accomplished by repro
ducing them in pamphlet form. We re-
fer the argument which sustains the ac-
ton Of the judge in assuming jurisdiction
to our readers
AS to his assumption of jurisdiction
not warranted by laws, that is purely a \
legal question, and to be decided by the |
Supreme Court of the United States only |
the tribunal which has been exclusively |
invested with the power of revising the |
judgments and DEGREES of inferior Judges,
In the meantime Judge Durell is surely
entitled to the benefit of any doubt as to
ais Jurisdictional power. Able and emf
nent Jurlsts concede this jurisdiction in
he case referred to. What some question
s the manner of its exercise, the extent |
o which Judge Durell went in the partic-
liar case of Kellogg vs.. Warmoth. Some
awyers think Judge Durell should not
lave issued what is called the '.midnight
RIDER" others think he should have re-
rained from declaring which returning
'oard was the legal one. There is not q
occurrence of opinion. In such circum-
tances, the old saying is applicable, when
octors differ who shall decide ~ Those |
Tho say Judge DurelI went too far were |
OF placed Ia lis circumstances. did
OF have resting upon them tie re-
Of decision. Perhaps, situated | s
> he was. they might have acted as he
i'd. True the power conflicts with the
aim OF sovereign rights as belonging to
le State. So it does; but the question of :
state rights was supposed to be settled | :
the late amendments to the federal | t
institution. The thirteenth, fourteenth f
I'd fifteenth amendments, and the acts of
ongress made in pursuance of those
nendments and for their enforcement, t
oh and all conflict most directly with | r
hat are termed State rights, as under
bod in the South. These laws are un-
ubtedly subversiye of the Southern q

THE COTTON TAX.

We have before us a copy of the bill in
troduced into Congress on the fourth O
March by Mr.. White, of Alabama, to re-
fund the cotton tax, and have given it 6
careful examination. We find it, unfor.
tunately, wanting in the safeguards which
ought to be thrown around the interests Of
those who are sought to be served by it,
and at best needs several amendments be-
fore it should become law.
The principle of refunding the money
paid 10y those who actually raised and
owned the cotton is just one, and meets
with our approval, but the chief difficulty
consists in the probable fact that few OF
the original sufferers would receive
the compensation. The bill before US
is SO loosely drawn that any che
representing himself as the agent, factor
Or attorney Of record of a planter who
paid the tax may appear before the COM
mission, prove the claim and receive the
refunded money, unless in the meantime
the original owner puts in an appearance
and files written objection, under oath,
to the money being paid to such agents,
etc. In such case the commissioners
first shall try the issue between the claim
ants with the view CT ascertaining whether
the planter or his factor has the better
right to the claim. Here is a very serious
defect, as the whole burden of proof is
thrown upon the principal, while the
agent is given all the advantages arising
from prima facie case. Anything that
is calculated. to help cur factor ridden
planters meets with our cordial approval.
But we see little hope for them in
Mr.. Whites bill. An appropriation
to build the levees, or to give so
much bounty upon every acre of cotton
land which has been cultivated since 1868
would be much surer mode of helping
the planters than by permitting the cotton
factors to collect this tax and distribute |
it with reasonable charges for collection
10 such Of the owners as may yet be alive
or have legal representatives. If Mr..
White, or any other member of Congress,
will prepare such bill as will reasonably
insure such result, or such as will meet |
he approval of our Chamber of Com
nerce, we will do what little we can
oward carrying it to a successful issue.
5ut we fear his present project will net
nswer the avowed purpose Of the honor
bic gentleman.
