rHEsAIT SULPHUR BILL.

As will be seen from our legislative
proceedings, the bill to establish branch
Lunatic Asylum at the Salt sulphur
Springs, in Monroe county, was rejected
in the Senate yesterday. Senator DEN

very faithfully TO secure the passage oil

no reflections on them. OWING

As we'll as the unfinished condition
OF the asylum at Weston, it seems to be
question whether the State at this time
ought to establish branch asylum until
he one at Weston WAS completed. And

the Legislature ought to ascertain the
most suitable location IN the Third Dis

THE RETURNING BOARD MUST BE
ABOLISHED.

1t can not be too strongly impressed on the
party in power in this State that, If agitation
is to be suppressed and quiet maintained
some assurance must be given to the pubic
that the next election will be conducted fairly
and that no obstructive Returning Board Will
attempt to thwart the will of the people
After the condemnation by Repubican COM
mittees, and by almost the whole press OF the
country. of that tribunal which gained so
Infamous notoriety last year, 1t would see"
that the average politician would see the pro-
prietv of Welding at least semblance OF de-
cent respect to public opinion. The Return
ing Board system has been condemned, not
only by the people of Louisiana, but by two
Congressional Committees, and by the general
sense of the country. II it is maintained, no
other purpose can be ascribed to the Repub-
lican leaders than to employ it, as last year 1t
was employed, for the purpose OF counting out
elected candidates, and of vitiating the results
of the election.
1t the Republicans want peace restored to
the State they will not interpose any obstacle
to the repeal OF the hetufniuB Doaio eye'ein.
They know, or they ought to know, that any
attempt to repeat the outrage of last year
will be resisted to the last extremity. The
uneasy feeling which exists in this city is due
to the apprehension that those despotic
powers which the law confers, or attempts to
confer on the returning officers, will be used
for the purpose of perpetuating the ascendency
of the Republican party in defiance OF the
wishes Of the people. 1t may as we'll be un-
derstood, once for all, that no such perversion
of law and justice will be submitted to by
the Democratic party. The proper function
of the law is to protect the rights OF the citi-
zen. But this law, both as to its intent and
the manner in which it is administered, is
direct and violent assault on the most i'm
portant of all the rights to which the citizen
lays claim. Such law can not be main
tanned, except in face of a people unworthy to
enjoy the rights of freemen, or who have lost
the sense Of liberty. 1t must be repealed or
essentially modified, otherwise no protesta-
ton and no denial will suffice to overcome the
conviction that a renewal of the frauds and
the infamies Of last year is contemplated for

THE RING PROSECUTIONS.

If Secretary Bristow is not allowed to go
any further in the good work of prosecuting
the thieves of the whisky rings he will still
deserve the grateful applause Of the honest
majority of his countrymea. # the Guilt of
the colossal swindles attaches to too many
prominent men, if the fear of absolute expo
sure comes too near the Cabinet, the Senate
and the Executive household, if the power Of
stolen wealth proves mightier than the law, if
the Radical party are afraid that further
exposures will damage their prospects, and if
under any and all these influences an order
should issue to suspend all further proceed
ings until the last Of the Centennial year, still
Mr. Bristow's name deserves to be engraved
on the monumental stones of history among
those of men whom the American people de-
light to honor. He has been the first to break
through the shell which hides the reeking
iniauity of the hordes of villains who fatten
on stolen money, and in breaking the shell
he has freed a mephitic odor from it
which too forcibly announces the abomi-
nable corruption within. He has disclosed
enough to mark the current administration as
that under which thieves have been fostered
and protected. The Secretary has gone so
far already, that to stop him now would be
tantamount to a confession of general guilt
on the part Of those who have the power to
silence his fearful artillery. If the prosecu-
tons are suspended now or suffered to be re-
tarded by lukewarm and reluctant support,
the just and proper inference must be that
the power of the ring thieves is greater than
that of the government, and that their stolen
treasures have sufficed to give them protection
from hands that ought to be busy in their
prosecution.
If the Radical leaders were honest, and if,
like honorable men, they desired the favor,
appreciation and votes of all other honest
men, they would join in these and many
other similar prosecutions with all their will
and all their strength. They could in no
other way so well commend themselves and
their cause to popular support. Nothing so
strengthens party as eliminating corrupt ele-
ments, and even in the case Of the Republican
party, if the prosecutions so gallantly begun
by Bristow with the powerful aid of Pierre
pont, should now be espoused and vigorously
pursued by all the more decent members of
the party, the action would promote their
prospects and increase their respectabillty-
not, perhaps, for the campaign about to
begin, but certainly for after years.
We have no expectation, however, of seeing
such course adopted. It would require too
much of tina. moral courage of which the
Republican party has no extra supply

The LOUISIANA LAW JOURNAL. = Major
Bloomfield, Ct the firm of B. Bloomfield &
Co., has shown us the initial number of their
monthly journal, entitled as above Besides
four advertising pages it has thirty-two pages
of reading matter in broad double columns,
in clear type, on fne paper, with broad mar
gin-the very kind of reading matter which
lawyer delights in after a day spent in reading
the dim and dingy print Of old law books.
Among the contents of the present number
we note original essays entitled "Limits to
Legislative Power over Property" The Law
and Equity Sides Of the United States Courts, :"
TAX Sales" Liability for Raised Checks,
etc. Many late interesting decisions Of State
and Federal courts are given, with much
other matter which the profession will appre.
ciate. The publishers make very commend
able debut and we take pleasure in calling to
the Lao Journal the favorable notice Of the
profession.

A WORD IN SEASON.

Tomorrow our people will be called upon
to select their delegates to the convention 10
be held in this city next January. This mat
ter is full of deep interest to every one OF u.s.
and we trust will be given the due and dello-
crate considerati it deserves. Should in
capable or prejudiced men be chosen as
representatives, the evil that must follow will
be almost incalculable. Upon this conven-
ton will devolve the duty, in a great measure,
of shaping the course OF the Democracy In
the next campaign, and their wisdom and
forethought must plan a victorious campaign,
or their ignorance and prejudice inaugurate
disastrous one.
Let honest integrity and undoubted ability
be the positive requirements of all candidates,
and see to it that you send none in whom you
can not place the most implicit faith and con-
fidence. You must realize the fact that your
future be it for veal or for wo, is to be
largely influenced by the men you send to
represent you in this convention. What good
they do you will profit by, and you will in
like degree suffer from the evil that results
from their incapacity or dishonesty.

Mr.. Randall has declared in conversation
that he can cut down the annual appropria-
lions forty millions. We feel quite certain
he can reduce expenditures thirty millions.
The navy ought to be cut down twelve mil
lions, the War Department eight millions.
There is now an officer in the army to every
seven privates. About one thousand of
these officers are useless supernumeraries, and
should be mustered out. Having been pro-
vided with an excellent education by the
Government they can engage in a more
credi.able business than killing and cutting
throats. The navy which is one of the weak
est in the world, is of little account. 1t costs
a third more than the navy Of England, in
proportion to its size. What little efficiency
it has can be maintained at about half the
cost. Washington Tribune.

Joaquin Miller has given the story of his
life to CORES pondent of the Louisville Cou-
rier-Jour7,al. He says that he came "from
God forsaken, impecunious, wandering race,
that his father sis o gentleman, tender,
soulful man, so mild that he would not kill
squirrel, so kuit with peaceful instincts that
he wouldn't participate in Fourth of July
celebration" As near as he can tell. the poet
says he was born in Cincinnati in lS4l. He
ran away from his home in California, was
captured by the Modocs, lived with them
nearly five years, loved them, learned their
language, fought with them, and escaped
from them to San Francisco in 1858.
He then went to Oregon, studied law, and
was admitted to the bar in 1860. His practice
of law was "not worth cent" and he soon
became editor of a newspaper for short
time. In 1866 he was elected District Judge
of Oregon, and served in that position four
wears. Of his marriage he said Il was
married at Port Oxford in 1853. don't know
of one pleasant moment after that for years.
Every man and woman will have his or her
say about that part of my life. If l read

arbitrates finally. But that sort OF sentiment

ANYBODY forgiveness to ask. l may be mis-
taken, but | don't think the world will ever

tanning verdict in his favor in his libel suit
for SlOO, 900 against the Brooklyn Eagle. The

main object of the suit, Mr. Bowen will
doubtless regard the verdict as something
