In the general dereliction OF law taught

quent or fragrant acts of violence. When
people are told that an alleged abuse Of
government is not to be redressed by con-
stitutional and appointed means, but by
force of arms, it is natural that each citi-
zen should apply the doctrine in his own
case. An oppressive landlord seizes the
effects of his defaulting tenant, or one
man interferes with the property or person
of another; what 80 logical as that instead

SENATOR WEBER'S CARD.

The Senator from Fe!iciana has been
prosecuted, abused and pursued by his
enemies till he has at last lost his temper,
and given vent to his feelings in a card
which is but little if any better in tone
than the letter to which he replies.
While we regret this exhibition of feeling
on the part of Senator Weber, we can and
do make great allowance for the provo
cation he has received. He has been
charged with being in some sort response
bic for all the trouble, public or private,
which has taken place in his senatorial
district. And when there is the least
ground for these charges to rest upon,
there is the greatest vigor displayed in
asserting them. When his friends have
shown that these charges were false and
malicious, they have been attacked in
turn, and new accusations invented.
When the Senator reports that his house
was attacked by armed men, anonymous
correspondents hasten to write denials to
the city press and accuse the Senator Of
spreading sensational falsehoods. These
things show that the ordinary political diff
ferences which are entertained in civilized
communities, which are universally toll
Grated, and are well enough, perhaps,
have degenerated into low personal quar-
rels in some portions Of this State. This
goes beyond the ordinary license usually
allowed to political itigants, and stamps
those who are responsible for it as COM
mon scolds if not public enemies.
There are few clustering, bragadocio
politicians here who think by brave words
to force a retreat from all their oppo-
nents. They talk as though there was
nothing but their own magnanimous for-
bearance between the Rep ubicans Of
Louisiana and total humiliation. Hence,
they threaten and bully, and make them
selves perfectly ridiculous in the eyes of
those whom they reckon their friends, and
finally retire when they find themselves
in a hopeless minority. Like the bar
barians of Salonica, they are looking for
the day when there will be a general
rising against the Republicans, as the
Mahomedans rose against the Christians.
Like them, too, they will come to grief if
they make the attempt
The great contest between the Southern
Democrats and Republicans can not be
ended by bandying epithets between IL
d,viduals. The plain duty of every Re-
publican is to keep his temper, obey the
laws, discuss principles, reason with those
who will listen to reason, and be sure. to
vote on the day Of election. 1t matters
little what our enemies say of US so long
as these great essentials are not neglected

action at law, the party aggrieved should
redress his own wrongs with the pistol?
The dissemination of this doctrine of self
redress can not be restricted to politics,
but the weapons issued for club purposes
alone may be employed in the interval to
assassinate rival or slaughter creditor.
The REPUBLICAN is the equal enemy of
the man of violence, whether he belong
to one party or another. It has no de-
tense for robber Of the public revenues.
whether he stops this revenue in transit
to the treasury or steals it after it has
been deposited.
We naturally regret more any act of vio-
lence or of fraud committed by Repub-
lican than fperpetrated by q Democrat. In
either case the act makes society less safe
and property less valuable. In case OF
Republican wrong it operates to impair
confidence in our own party and to OBJ
struct the establishment Of its prin-
ciples. Had we, however, kept the
record Of evil deeds perpetrated by
the two races we would have found an
unhappy Offset to the murder Of McArdle
and Graham in the yesterdays murder
column. This horrible deed is thus
headed by the Times: "Another Homi-
cide-A Fearful Tragedy in Low Life-A
Fight Between a White and Black Man
About Yellow Girl"
Here we have sad commixture Of race,
immortality and crime. The Bulletin treats
the event as "a Shooting Affray-Al
About q Woman" while the Picayu,ae
keeps the disgrace Of murder and adultery
in the shade by heading it 'Shot Dead
A Disagreement About Woman Leads to
an Atrocious Murder-The Green-eyed
Monster"
This is not the ''green goggle-eyed
monster" Of Coushatta. The Picayuns re-
porter, however, says the negro in this
case told the white man, "All right, you
have the law on your side, directed his
threats against the yellow woman, who
had in the meantime left the house,
and on attempting to force his way
into the room where he supposed
the woman was concealed, was
shot by the white man, who said, II am
sorry for what I have done. but seeing
that my life was in danger, defended
myself The negro is thus represented
as q trespasser, and the white man re-
ports himself as having committed the
killing in self.defense. To our mind the
race or party who commits an offense
neither adds to nor palliates the wrong.
We chronicle such events. They produce
the impression that neither life nor prop
erty is safe among US, and though the
politician may regard the murder or in
timidation of an antagonist as fortunate
or comm endable thing, yet there is no
community in the civilized world, from
Salonica to Coushatta, that has ever
prospered where fraud and violence were
the established rules Of either politics or
religion.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

ALL 0V0&0 w ALBANIAN
The recent mishap to the Board Of
Health is a very discouraging circum-
starce, and will, we fear, be the cause Of
some anxiety, if not mischief, before the
present warm season passes over. Ac-
cording to the judgment rendered yester-
day in the Superior District Court, the
existing Board of Health is completely
disorganized, and the faithful officers and
skillful physicians who have piloted this
city safely through many seasons, when
disease and death were busy with sur
rounding localities, are set aside for un-
tried men. But we suppose that sanitary
considerations, or regard for efficient ser
vices, long rendered, have no place in .
court of justice. Polite considerations
sometimes intrude, and push justice lit
tie to one side, but utility, with double
the merit, but none of the cheek of par
tisanship, never forces her way.
There is considerable uncertainty about
the history of this controversy, and two
judges have examined it with different
conclusions. The late Judge Hawkins
granted an injunction restraining all par
ties from interfering with DR.. White, the
president, but Judge Lynch has set the
Injunction aside, and the whole angry
dispute will arise again till settled by the
Supreme Court. As Napoleon remarked
on historic occasion ''one bad General
is better than two good ones" The army
ought to know what to depend upon.

APPALLING CALAMITY.

Burning of a Theatre In Brooklyn, N.
Y.---Over Three Hundred Persons
Perish.
A fire broke out in the Brooklyn
Theatre, on the night of the the 9th
inst, during the performance of the
last scene of the 1.-TWO Orphans" A
drop was ignited from a border-ight by
some means; the stage carpenters with
the supernumeraries essayed to put
it out by lowering the drop, and in
SO doing added fuel to the flames. The
scene, the last in the play, embraced
ceiled apartment, and in an instant
a burning drop, which came in
contact with the infammable
ceiling, served to spread the existing
flames. In fash, as though powder
had previously been scattered about
the scenery, the entire properties were
in blaze. The usual avenues of es-
cape were thus summarily closed at the
rear, and an exit, if at all possible, had
to be made by way of the box entrance.
The house was about wo-thirds full,
and the panic-stricken people rushed
toward and down the stairways, and a
scene of terror, confusion and distress
ensued, which beggars description.
Over 800 bodies have been.recovered
from the ruins. Whole families have
persisted. The remains present hor-
rible appearance, many of them being
burned beyond recognition.
The affair created intense excitement
throughout the city and business was
partially suspended.
