TIE TIMES AND ITS CONUNDRUMs,

A reporter of the Times has flushed a
characteristic sensation, and is greatly
distur bed at the discovery. According to
its own statement, the Governor ordered
the delivery of certain number of cart
ridges to gentleman who was charged
with taking them to Catahoula parish.
Upon this showing it is loudly asked,
"Who is Charles Hip" and "by what au-
thority did Mr.. Charles Hill issue an Or
der on the State for 1000 cartridges"
We give it up. OF course, and hope the
Times reporter will explain its own rid
die. What effect Mr.. Hill may have had
on the order Of the executive for cart
ridges to be sent to company organized
under the militia laws of the State, we
are unable to guess.
Here is the way the story should have
been told. A militia company in Cata-
houla has supply of guns but no cart
ridges. As there is small stock of am
munition in the State armory, the COM
mander-in- chief has directed one thou
sand cartridges (not two thousand) to be
sent to them. That is all. We can not
see what Mr.. Hill or the Times has to do
with the matter one way or the other. We
take it Governor Antoine will make the
proper report of it when called upon by
the Legislature Gf ever such a call be
made) to explain his official acts.
The journal that permitted several cases
OF arms to be shipped to the chairman of |
the Democratic Executive Committee of !
Ouachita parish without remark might |
surely be expected to preserve its COM
posture when the Governor orders few
cartridges to be sent to one of the State |
militia companies.

The reported capture of Tweed has
thrown all the organs of the great Tam
many leader into a fiutter. One of them
in this city, in its usual laundering, awk-
wa,d way, denied the story, and declared
it was invented to injure the interests of
Governor Tilden, his former political
partner and personal friend. Since the
confirmation of the first dispatches, how
ever, our indiscreet neighbor has neg
lected to come out with an apology for
intruding with an improvident opinion, as
well as to explain how it makes out that
Mr.. Tilden can be injured by the dis
covery of Mr.. Tweed. Now, the New
York World, which has set itself up as
the champion 'fool and jester" of the age,
has come to the front with an attempt to
burlesque the capture of its unfortunate
friend and late ally, but the sketch lacks
wit, whatever may be said of it on the
score Of gratitude.

The REPUBLICANS ''leading citizen, who
does not dare to tell his nsme." is getting
to be almost As famous as James solitary
hOrseman.-Iimes
The REPUBLICAN has no such "leading
citizen" Nobody has asked the name Of
any such person. We might even go so
far as to impart the name of the gentle
man to the Tines if satisfied the inquiry
were prompted by any higher motive than
curiosity. We can assure our neighbor
that the gentleman thinks he is able to
protect himself from any one man with
out troubling the State government.

A CURIOUS PHASE OF STATE RIGHTS

The ground taken by the convicts in
the whisky frauds that they are entitled
to stay in the jails of the State in which
they have been convicted, shows deli
cate appreciation of the rights of the
States. 1t may even get into the discus
sions Of party, and the robbers of public
revenues in Missouri and Louisiana may
meet with the sympathy of those who
advocate the same political creed. We
may well see how change of venue may
be essential to an impartial trial, but
after an offender against the laws of the
United States has been convicted before
its tribunals, the shaving of the head or
the parti-colored garments become con-
sequence Of the judgment, and would,
we should suppose, carry as great dis
grace if imposed upon the criminal at
home as abroad. Notwithstanding the
clamor of Senator Bayard lest the small
duchy Of Delaware should be regarded as
politically inferior to New York or Penn
sylvania, we think the Federal
courts have a right to send their
convicts to such penal Institutions as they
prefer, and that the State rights robber
of the public revenue can not interpose
the broad agis of his State at the Jail
door OF another State. It is patriotic to
love ones own State. 1t is natural that
an offender should prefer his punishment
administered at the maternal knee, rather
than the exposed fagellation of the pub
lie beadle. But is there not a little too
much sentiment in this? The govern
ment of the United States claims SOW
erignty in the name of the whole people.
Ofenses within the national jurisdiction
are subject to the authority of the nation,
and the punishment of convicted crimi-
nal may be inflicted anywhere within the
sovereign jurisdiction. It may be that
he case of these State rights felons
ought, with that of Tweed, be complicated
With our political campaign, but while
Tweed, as an offender against State laws,
hould peck stone, or pick oakum at the
State Prison at Albany, the robbers of |
he national treasury are offenders against
lational law and should be clad in the

regimentals of any State prison in the
Union deemed by the Federal courts
most appropriate. Unless Senator Bayard
should intervene and carry the State
rights Of the whisky convicts into the
issues of Tilden and reform, we can see
no show for the home institution, since
the courts have declined to order trans
fer of the copvicts.

We hope Mr.. Charles Hill will satisfy
the inordinate desire of the Times to know
what is the meaning of all that bugaboo
story impaired to its reporter by Colonel
Jack Wharton's clerk. 1t is a nuisance
to have one bowling for information about
matters which do not really concern him.

A singular case OF narrow mindedness
has been exhibited by the Archbishop of
Rheims. His grace refused to allow come
flint instruments and prehistoric remains to
be shown at an antiquarian exhibition
shortly to be opened at Rheims, on the plea
that they tended to throw discredit on
Biblical chronology.

ENFORCING THE LAW.

From the omission of the Last Ditcl
press to answer very plain question, w
may infer that the Democratic refusal t.
discuss questions with the Republican
speakers has been extended to the Re
publican press. Our question was, why
did not the Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives pass bill re.
pealing the instruction law passed dur.
| ing the war?
We have shown that the law under
which Mr.. Lincoln conducted the war is
still in force. We might even 60 the
length of supposing that such section OF
the law as would give the federal marshals
the power to permit the Red river plant
ers to ship cotton, or receive goods from
New Orleans, may be more stringent than
any exigency likely to exist will render
necessary. But why did not Messrs.
Ellis and Lamar and Hill-why did
not their doughface allies, Messrs.
Holman and Cox and Randall-repeal
these provisions and revise the whole
law? This question is stumper for the
Bourbon who denounces the law and its
execution. One explanation of this &C.
quiescence in the law consists in the sup
position that the Bourbons had never
read the law-never referred it to the at
torneys for an opinion. Ignorance Of the
law excuses no one, since all are presumed
to know what the law is, and so the Bour-
bons are estopped from excepting to an
act which they have never attempted to
repeal. We have seen spasmodic effort
to procure q modification of the law
through a supposed construction by Gen
eral Sherman. We have stated that the
military is subordinate to the civil author
ity, that the President has declared his
obedience to the laws, and We may add
that the orders of the commander in-chief
OF the army will control the construction
Of any subordinate, even the distinguished
General referred to.
We can not indeed see why any one
should except to the enforcement of the
Federal law. When the election shall
take place, what possible excuse would
Federal officer have to interfere with the
vote of any citizen? If any citizen desired
to vote for either party, and complained
Of duress from tie other party, what |
friend of free suffrage could complain if |
he officer representing the law should |
'ay, ''Make way for this man to VOTE"
md so assure free suffrage. It may be |
hat Democratic voter is intimidated. |
He will receive the same protection with
Republican voter. If neither violence
,or intimidation appears at the polls we
AN not see how any action of the military
will be necessary. In the universal APP
of disorder, we can not see
low any citizen can object to the presence
# military police. 1t may save the
south from the imprudent acts of few
Reliable partisans whose conduct may
pjure those with whom be votes more
han those that he opposes. The law Of
be Union is to be executed. We know
f no opposition possible, and We hope
be people of Louisiana, without Respect ,
D party, will accept the insurrection law,
nd avoid the very serious consequences

The simple story OF how they stole in
the good old Democratic days of Polk.
Pierce and Buchanan, is very impressive.
The average leakage to every $1,000 col
lected and disbursed in that golden era of
economy was about g. During the six
teen years Of Republican rule, the average
has been eighty cents. In plain words,
Democratic officials stole, proportionately,
over ten times as much as their Republican
successors.
