Are we to understand that the orders to

Are we to understand that the orders to
enforce the laws of the United States, just
issued by the Attorney Gen eral, with the
approval of the President, interferes with
the programme of the Democracy? Does
that party intend to attempt those things
prohibited by law in the absence of a
power that is able to restrain them? They
have received Judge Taft's charge to the
United States marshals very unkindly,
and in anything but Christian spirit
This is suspicious. 1t reminds US of the
protest of burglars against stringent
orders Of the superintendent Of police to
observe greater vigilance and arrest all
offenders. While those who do not con-
template committing crime are delighted
with such manifestations of official zeal,
the rogues declaim against it. No mar
shall or policeman is likely to give any
law abiding citizen annoyance, unless it
be in call to serve on posse, and as
this sort of service has become very fash
iona BILE of late in the Southern States, we
do not see how objection can be made,
and for no better reason than that the
mars hal is clothed with legal power, while
in most cases the leaders of posses are
not.

them. Most of the threateners were per-
sonally known to the Senator. There
upon, he and Senator Weber and General
Souer took skiff for the purpose
of going below to Texas Landing
to take steamboat. A party of
horsemen followed them for some dis
lance, on one shore, but by rowing close
to the other side, were able to keep out of
range. This following business continued
for about eighteen miles By this time it
was night and as dark as full moon
would permit The men IN the skiff hear
ing no more of their pursuers, became
careless and hauled out in the middle of
the river to get the advantage of the cur
rent. Here they were greeted by a volley of
shots, all Of which, however, passed above
their heads. They imm ediately pulled
over to the left bank, and finally reached
Texas Landing in safety.
There was another skiff in company
with that Of Messrs. Souer, B-eaux and
Weber, in which were fonr or five colored
men.
This unprovoked outrage upon three
well known gentlemen has provoked al
most uncomfortable mirth in two of our
independent family papers. 1t has given
them the joke of the season. One of them
even omitted its customary morning dish
of "a Seduction of Young Girl" which
it generally lays on the breakfast tables
of the families of this city. But whether
it was crowded out to make room for
manufactured version of the Pointe Coupe
outrage, or in consequence of Davidson's
card in the evening papers, We can not
say.
The Times shows its devotion to the
party which it aspires to serve as an organ
by setting entirely aside all the evidence
which has come to hand, and substituting
IN invention of its own. According to its
Eeracious reporter, Messrs. Souer, Weber
md Breauz employed some negroes to
ire volley at them from Kingsbury
anding as kind of send-off which would |
give them eclat, forgetting that the assault |
vas made eighteen miles below that place.

EVASION OF TAXES,

We have seen it in Democratic print
that the people of Louisiana should
break down "the usurpation of kellogg"
by refusing to pay taxes. We have seen
this advice subsequently qualified by
permission to pay city taxes, because the
city administration was in Democratic
hands. We regarded this advice the re-
suit of impassioned hostility to the rule
of the majority. We have seen many of
our citizens band themselves together to
resist the collection of taxes, or to secure
the best terms of discount and indul-
gence. We have seen the public creditor
brought to bay with the obvious inability
of the people to pay the inter-
est on the public debt, and the
public creditor has compromised and

We shall now discover which of the
Democratic papers have been all along
ignorant of the law. They will be known
by their abuse of Attorney General Taft.
They will howl about the tyranny of the
government, the despotism of Grant and
military violence, when all the time it is
the supreme law of the land" that has
struck them. There will be no military
violence of any kind if every body be-
HAYES himself. The whole army of the
United States is powerless to injure one
citizen, unless there be a wicked and
willful violation Of law. In that case
there is likely to be music, as Grant has
most determined habit of executing all
laws good and bad, and would thous-
and times rather be falsely accused of
tyranny every day than have his con-
science upbraid him for neglect of duty
md disregard of his oath Of Office.

SHINDIES IN MOREHOUsE.

Morehouse parish has got it bad this
time. Though the Democrats claim a
majority of at least two thousand, yet
they are so fearful of the result that they
have decided to "aggress'' little. We
have the result proclaimed in the death of
| two persons-one white and the other
| colored. The organ of the Democratic
State committee characterizes the disaster
| to the first named as a murder of citi-
zen, but passes over the death of the col
cred man, who was pursued to death, as
OF no special consequence.
But it is not the opinions of partisans
that form the chief feature of the general
state of disorder which now curses
Louisiana. The leading consideration is
the admitted fact that this State is in
condition Of open and undisguised guer-
rilla warfare. The Democratic press is
engaged in urging on hostilities between
the two parties, and doing everything in
their power to popularize outrages COM
mitted against Republicans. And this is
done while they are all the time profess
ing to work under the Baton Rouge plat
form, which declared for a peaceable can.

Of the daily recurring acts of raiding and
harrassing eolored and white Repub-
licans
We think Attorney General Taft's in
structions to United States Marshals
have not been issued too soon. 1t
is high time to know whether the
law or the suggestions of bad men
are to prevail. Reasoning on the SUBJ
ject is nc longer effective. The De-
mocracy Of Morehouse Ouachita, Cou-
shatta and other guerilla-infested dis
tricts can neither be shamed nor argued
into good behavior The power of the
State is asleep. There is no physical
force under the control of the Governor
that can be applied to correct the appall-
ing outrages, injuries and crimes that
daily take place in one section of the
State or another. As in 1861, all the ordi-
nary legal resources of the local authori-
ties have been exhausted, and the evil, so
far from being checked, is on the increase.
The next step is an appeal to power
strong enough to be felt. The mailed |
hand of the military power Of the |
Union can alone snatch this fair State |
from the perils which Low environ her,
and we rejoice to see it stretched out to
save. That hand, so terrible to evil doors,
S as welcome as the cool waters to the
.amishing traveller in the desert to the !
aw abiding citizen. We shall soon know
whether the power that conquered mil

MAKING LIGHT OF A SERIOUS MATTER

MAKING LIGHT OF A SERIOUS MATTER,
The Picay.ne and Times have not had
such hearty laugh over anything since
the Democrat was chosen official organ of
the party, as over the attempt by band
OF rufians in Pointe Coupee parish to as
sassinate three we'll known members of
the Legislature in sklff while coming
down the river. 1t is too laughable for
anything. The Picayune borrows happy
idea from the we'll known farce of Mac
beth, and opens the case in this happy
vein:
Representative L. J. Souer is in town. He
arrived quite unexpectedly, and, it appears,
stood not upon the order Of his going. On
