INJUSTICE TO THE DEMOCRACY.

A most unexpected event occurred in
st. Martin parish the other day. At least
we havea preponderance ofrumors and ION
dts to that effect. A dispatch from that
turbulent locality informed us that there
a squabble, ending in bloodshed and
homicide, over some Offices, and to this
now comes the astounding intelligence
that not one Democrat was mixed up in
it. In publishing the dispatch, one of the
writer's in this Office, who was not pre-
pared for such q surprise, but supposine
it was a regular straight-out Louisiana
fuss, intimated in q headline that q Dem,
ocretic tax collector was wanted to secure
peace. This being about the only recent
on record here, in which . Democrat
not mixed up in a brawl for Office, the
party feels keenly the implied injustice
lone it by that unlucky headline. The
Times even goes 90 far ss to intimate that
he Republicans Of this city are greatly

DROPPING OUT.

Hon. Mr.. Sam Cox recently introduced
and passed in the Democratic Congress q
series Of resolutions affirming the rights
of the States. He pulled aside the lions
hide, after the fashion of Bottom, the
Weaver, and assured timid people that
there was 10 harm in the terrible
war, because the exercise of these
rights had been renowned, and were
submitted to Congress and the courts
':in the last resort" The rights of the
States meant the right Of petition, which
State enjoys with any person or corpora
ton within its limits. 1t did not occur to
the hearers of Mr.. Sam Cox that . right
may be exercised against the consent of
any but that that which can only be en-
joyed by permission of others is a simple
license.
With this affirmation of State rights,
what will the dilapidated Democracy of
the South think when they see that the
Democracy of Pennsylvania declare in
their late resolutions that the late "war
between the States" of Mr.. Stephens
was ''the late rebellion against the
government of the United States" Here
is the Democratic comment upon the
rights of the States as interpreted by
their Southern allies. We may then see
that there is nc longer any difference be-
tween political parties in regard to the
relations between the States and the fed |
eral government. MI. Jefferson Davis and
General Lee are proclaimed srehels" by |
the Pennsylvania Democracy. We sup
pose their allies will stand this.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, WEDNESDAY: MARCH ~ 1875

take tho currency question ont Of politics.
We regard this g . favorable omen.
Why, We thought there was . principle
involved in this question. It was once
commended that the federal government
had no power to make . currency other
than that of coin. II was commended that
labor Al entitled to . compensation
fixed in the nominal standard Of values,
gold and silver. Democracy once, de-
manded as the friend Of labor and Of .
limited government, demanded hard
money for the people. Now it intimates
that it is Of no consequence what sort of
money or how much the people shall re-
ceive.
We assume the Democratic House of
Representatives has assented to an in
crease of duties on the cotton cloth 80
much in use among the laborers Of the
land. We infer, therefore. that free trade
is no longer . Democratic principle. The
indiscriminate advocacy Of gift lands and
federal bonds Is endowments for the con-
struction of internal improvements, soiAin
the jurisdiction Of the States, proves that
this landmark has been likewise broken
down.
Will some one Of the Democratic or
gans explain to Us what are the national
principles Of the party, and especially
how the party stands in Louisiana upon
these ancestral questions?
We suppose it will be intimated by the
that any one in the United
States who calls himself a Republican is
. knave. and incompetent to perform
Official duties. In that case the Democ-
racy may expect to succeed upon the in
necessity Of their services.
It is true the example Of Democracy
when in power is not favorable to this
theory Of succession. The hegira of
Tweed, like that Of Mahomet, is an event
from which dates many important events,
while the sharp practice Of Lawyer PEN
lleton, o said to have divided his
enormous ':fee" with persons who had no
:laim to receive, has rendered the public
ather ~incredulous of Democratic purity.
The claim of superior purity by q party
which has been for years past evicted from
u Office always reminds Us of that certif-
of-sobriety which an old soaker could
'rocure at the expiration Of the thirty
lays for which he had been 'isent down."

THE CHATTANOOGA BONDS CASE.

We published yesterday morning tn,
important decision of the Supreme Cour
in the a 8 of the Citizens Bank vs.. tn,
Funding Board. on appeal from the Su
perior District Court.
The controversy involves the validity o.
certain second mortgage bonds issued t.
the road by Governor Warmoth, to the
extent Of $12,50O per mile. The bank, il
appears, is the holder of these bonds to
the amount of $50, 900, being what is
generally known as the $3.50. 600 install
ment, the first of four Of equal amount,
which the State agreed to issue upon the
compliance by the road with certain con-
ditions within q specified time.
Judge Hawkins of the Superior District
Court, decided the case against the bank
on the ground that the road had forfeited
its right to the bonds by default in the
performance Of the obligations it had as
sumed before they were issued, and that
the subsequent adoption of the constitu-
tional amendment limiting the State debt
to s25, 00O. 900 prohibited its renewal.
Mr.. Justice WHY, in an elaborate opin-
ion, sustains the decision of Judge Haw-
kins in all material points, and afarms his
decision that the bonds are worthless.
There is another case On appeal from the
same court, involving the validity of the
$4,000, 600 bonds issued for stock of the
railroad company in lieu of subsidy on
second mortgage, in which Judge Haw-
kins likewise dec-eed the bonds to be in
valid. This case has not yet been passed
upon by the Supreme Court. though we
have no doubt the judgment of the lower
court will be affirmed as it has been in the
case just decided.
Whatever may have been Judge Haw-
kins' misfortunes in differing with certain
practicing attorneys who have brought
several political questions in his court, he
generally succeeds when he grapples with
. square financial question, involving the
payment OF large sums of money by the
State for no consideration. he has stood /
between the State treasury and some
pretty strong combinations of capital,
responsibility and legal talent, and saved
he taxpayers many millions of dollars.
It is, perhaps, for something like this that
1e has been voted incompetent by Demo-
cratic partisans. He may console him
'elf, however, with the reflection that he
generally triumphs in the final act, some
hing as we see in plays, when the hero is
'ewarded with the smiles of admiring
riends, the prize of love and fortune, to
which are generally added the plaudits of
he auditors, while the discounted heavy
lllains are led off the stage to punish
aent, or dismissed with the contempt
hey SO richly merit.

exercised because the Democrats have Tor
oncs got Q hit amiss. We are read either
to apologize to the Democrats for this IN
advertenoe, or let it stand over for their
next outrage. As for tho Republicans
who have impaired to the Times their sur
prise and condemnation in terms more
emphatic than polished, " they can ask for
. division Of the compliment With the
Democrats, as We do not think there is
difference enough between them 10 offer
two separate apologies.
The P;cayune informs us that Condley
the man who killed Martin, is colorsd,
while the Times swears he is white. The
dispatch in the REPUBLICAN, did not des-
ignate the color. We leave to those. who
consider this 9 material point'to settle it
among themselves. In our judgment the
of the ofense of killing q man for
his Office is neither increased nor dimin-
ished by the fact that he is white or
black. or whether his slayer is . Democrat
or a Republican.

racy, for two reasons: l. They have been
20 long debArted from opportunities Of
theft. 2. There is . hypocritical p~retenss
that Democrstic doctrines afford les op-
portunities for theft. In the first place,
the long continued denial of q common
want createsa an appetite. Toa very hungry
man . mere lunch OF SCRAPS is preferable
to continued abstinence. In the second
place there is q palpable pretepse in
claiming for the Democracy superior
stEictness Of legal construction of leeisla-
tive powers. Neither party construes tho
constitution according to its letter.
Established nationality involves q discre-
lion As to the common welfare, and states
men Of all parties assent to the exercise of
this discretion. The Democracy are less
to be trusted, when they claim a peculiar
st~rictness Of construction in order to OBJ
tain the treasury key. This insincerity is
to our mind q heinous offsnse. The
Levites who defled the affairs of the Most
High, under pretense of hereditary holi-
ness, were far more guilty than even the
mercenary money changers who were
driven forth with q scourge of knotted
cords. Our deduction is far more
sincere than that of the World. Men of
all parties are equally virtuous. Men have
the same opportunity to steal under ono
party administration as another. It is
alike the duty and interest Of all parties
to prosecute. punish and expel from con-
6dence any and all men who rob the treas.
ury; and if there be any party which will
upon any pretense place Or retain robbers
confidential positions, the people should
md would no doubt drive that party from
my opportunities to rob the treasury.
