their civil or religious rights, or to whose
doctrine OF reform she would not listen,
and from these discarded fragments have
built structure superior in usefulness
and durability to the parent edifce, from

hope that the revolutionary Democracy,

of popular suffrage to the poor whites of
England, the discomfort of Ireland, and
the free speech about the very expensive

imported from Hanover, and whose
Georges and Williams neither euualed

virtue or ability, they may see germs of
discomfort against English institutions
which Mr.. Carlyle and his followers in
hatred toward the I'm tied States had as
well perhaps attend to.
When men pretending to be republic
ans, as did the editor of the letters of
Cromwell, find nothing but ridicule for
an infant nation which has revolutionized
the world and assumed an accorded place
among the Oldest powers in the world, we
are inclined to think them wanting either
in charity or in consistency. The govern
ment of the United States is now one of
the Oldest among civilized nations. There
are few dynasties of Europe which have

still further, and should Mr.. Carlyle, or

CARLYLE AND OTHER DEFAMERs OF THE
AMERICAN UNION,

The Picayr'e publishes a letter pur-
porting to have been written by Thomas
Carlyle, expressive of his indignant con-
tempt for literary title offered him by
Harvard University. We have no assur-
ance the letter is genuine, and would pre-
fer to give to Mr.. Carlyle the credit of
having received the respectful offer of an
honorary title without the bad taste of
making an offensive reply. Still we see
from other sources the same ridicule of
our institutions and usages, with prefer
ence for those of Europe. This gives us
reason for commenting upon the senti-
ment avowed by or imputed to Mr.. Car
lyle, because it is entertained by many
claiming to be citizens of the republic of
the United States.
The substance of the Carlyle letter is
insult and Injustice. The people of the
United States are reproached with insin-
cerity in prohibiting titles of nobility and
yet paying court to those who wear these
titles. 1t is sufficient reply to say that
these prohibitions stand unrepealed in the
fundamental statutes of all the States and
of the Union. That there must be in q
population of more than forty millions,
among them many millions who came from
the land Of kings, noblemen and priests,
many who have brought their traditions
of these titles would be but natural, It
is, however, by no means national SEN
timent, or it would be at once represented
by repeal of the constitutional prohibi-
ton of titles. Does it constitute any i'm
putstion upon our Masonic order that it
has royal arch, sublime prince of the
royal secret, etc.? -.H'

look at the fact that from dispersed col

COMING HOME TO THEM.

AS comment and almost corollary
upon our view that the higher law doctrine
taught by leading men and politicians
would pass into bad hands and be applied
against the best interests of the land, we
refer to the destruction of the public
records of the parish of Livingston by an
incendiary. Our infor nation is succintly
this: The seat of jus tice of Livingston
parish is not in central position. An
act of the Legislature authorized the
voters of the parish to vote upon the ques-
ton of its removal. This made two
parties, and led to violent action by
the partisans of each. The partisans of
the new courthouse came at night and
by force captured and carried off the
records of the parish. There were the
courts which would have upon appeal
given the party the posse of the State to
execute its process for possession of the
records. They took the law in their own
hands. Very well. In due time the old
courthouse party determined that the
records should do their antagonists no
good, so they organized surprise party
and burned the records. The advocacy
of political Office or capture and destruc-
ton of property would have small social
effect among a people accustomed to
judge for themselves of the obligations
of law, but this destruction of records
must come home to the interests of many
who care nothing for offices or mobs
Rec ords consist, in the first place, of the
titles, original and derivative, to all the
real estate within the district. They pre-
serve the evidence Of MARI iages, divorces
and requests, of judicial allotment of
property. Then there are verdicts of
character and DEGREES of property. There
are State trials which &C quit or commit,
and testimony perpetua ted upon which
may depend the prosperity and character
of whole families. Here is a wide field
open for legislation and litigation. Here
is source of anxiety, fraud and oppres-
sion. From what has this arisen? From
an unfortunate application of the doctrine
that no law binds man unless it suits
him to obey it. The new courthouse party
were convinced that they had right to the
records of the parish. The process of law
was too tedious and uncertain, 80 they acted
upon. these convictions. The old court
house party knew their antagonists had
committed an alleged act, so they, at
once, avenged themselves by overthrow
ing the subject of controversy. We have
read one or more cases, in which a party
Of savages, disputing the possession of
stranger, whom they had captured, kill
the prisoner. This is natural with savages,
who know no law, but to settle disputed
location for seat of justice, by burning
the evidences Of title of character, would
intimate that neither party were fit
representatives of legal administration.
We cite this case, however, to remind our
Conservative friends that while it may be
Democratic to refuse obedience to the
Laws because they are not agreeable to
the citizen, those who are interested in
the titles to property or the respect for
personal rights. have too much at risk to
sanction such pernicious practice,
