chemist can compute how long the poi
sonous principles of thuggery can lie dor
mant, and under what precise conditions
OF social animosity it will spring into re-
newed activity?
The citizen who accepts the constitution
aud laws can neither be Ku-Klux, a jay
hawker, a masked assassin, nor a resister
OF the tax or any other law.
We have stated true issue, and we re-
gard any statements tending to palliate
the conduct of men who, living under the
law, take the law into their own hands, as
an evasion of this issue and an injury to
society. In this issue we do not recognize
or denounce individuals. Society is re-
sponsible for all violations of law which
it might prevent and does not punish.
The prevalence of this lawless doctrine
will injure us no more than others, and
far less than those who have more at stake
than we have Unless all men unite in
the execution of the laws, Louisiana may
become an unfit residence for people of
property or industry and will be avoided
by the immigrant who brings either. We
leave this matter with the jury-of the
people.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-10-19
LAW AND ORDER,

Every one must be struck with surprise
at the peaceful election in the Western
States, and likewise with the memorable
strictness with which the laws are enforced
against lawless desperadoes. The New
York Herald thus notices this honorable
feature in American politics:
The Illinois Ku-Kl1x assassins, John Bull
liner and Allen Baker, who have been on
trial at Murphysboro, have been sentenced
to twenty years imprisonment. 1t is said
that others of the gang, who are charged
with murder, will probably expiate their
oftenses on the gallows.
If Mississippi and Louisiana should be
annexed to the jurisdiction OF Illinois and
Ohio, it would produce great change in
the Democratic programmes. Instead of
issuing masks and muskets to decide an
election, the marauders would be seized
and tried for their alleged offenses. We
shall profit in time by the execution of

taken from their beds at midnight and
shot by masked assassins, will begin to
throng into country which wants but
law and order to make it paradise for
the people.
