AN IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.

We have heretofore published in the
DENocRAr, under the proceedings of the
courts, a reference we find, from the
interest OF the Bar and the public
IN the question, to have been too cur
sorry and condensed. The opinion of
the able Judge relates to the power OF
the Legislature to confiscate property
under the forms OF taxation. Judge
Cullom presides In tho Fifth District
Court. He treats the law govern
ing tax sales with an impartial
and critical investigation, with the view
OF establishing basis for the conscien.
tious rulings Of judge. We make
this morning lengthy extracts from his
decision indeed, give the whole OF it
substantially, SO far as the legal points
are involved. We do this out of respect
not only to the learned Judge and to
the New Orleans Bar, but to the people
who are so seriously interested in the
action Of the courts on this subject. so
vitality affecting general PRINCIPLES
OF public liberty as we'll as private
property.

Is a higher object to be obtained than

constitutional government. Gov. Nc

RATHER SLIPPERY.

"In the administration of strict econ
omy there are scores OF names which
might be dropped from the rolls: they
are the names Of men who hold sinccurt
positions. mon whose hardest duty Ii {,

prompt only on pay day. There art
expenses other than salaries that might
DO greatly reduced. With some slight
amendments of tho law authorizing the
| Governor toappont the superintendent
and the captains, and empowering these
officers 10 meet ~ u court Mt stated
periods and try subordinates for mis-
| 1emonnors, fh6 entire Police Board
might be abolished and not missed. We
| do not advocate such radical changes,
but we do wish to impress the Board
| with the idea that it has mistaken the
course OF true economy, and shown u
penny wise and pound foolish zeal
by Diminishing tho best men on the
force. and calling such action retrench-
ment. "--Ne,e Orleans Republican.
We arc glad to know that the official
organ feels obliged to acknowledge, In
connection with the Metropolitan Po-
lice, that there aro "scoros Of tho
Governor do .fdcto's paid followers that
might "bc dropped from the rolls /"

ton, or that Expenses other than sala-
rics might bo greatly reduced" All this
and more Of tho same sort OF meaning

accommodate itself with little show
of buncombe popularity by IN exhibit
tionof somewhat gushing liberality

worse are Systematically retained. On

and spasmodic defense of the 'swept

that the people of our city should wish

Hardly Necessary 70 Correct.

An error In the types In our yester

us use 'terrify" for ''pacify," though
tho sense Of the sentence was apparon,
from the context. But we do not know
whether, after all, terribly was not the
proper word, for, indeed. the whole PEG.

THE CHATTANOOGA BONDS.

The Democratic Convention, which
has just adjourned, among other adj
mirable resolutions, passed the follow.
ing:
Rcsolred, That we advocate substan.
stantial reduction Of taxation, State and
municipal, and. while we are in favor OF
meeting punctually the payment of the
legitimate debt of Louisiana, we are
OF the dishonest and fraudulent obliga-
tions, issued in the name of the State
and we pledge ourselves to make a
searching investigation in the matter.
| Resolred. That we declare our hearty
opposition to all monopolies whatever.
The Warmoth Legislature authorized
the issuing Of a large number of bonds
among others what are known as the
Chattanooga bonds"
The Kellogg Legislature passed a
funding act, by which all the oblidl-
tons ST the State were authorized to (e
funded. Subsequently, however, lin
1876, the Legislature prohibited the
funding OF Il number Of bonds notably
the Chattanooga bonds ($2,5oO, OOO)--
until they shall have been passed upon
by the Supreme Court Now, this debt
was created by the Legislature, and The
Legislature, it seems to us, is quite
competent to decide whether the debt is
valid or not.
Let our Legislature then investigate
closely the legality of these bonds, and
il they are found, as we believe they
will To he invalid Lot the Eundipo
Board be prohibited by law from fund
ing them.
The same prompt action should be
taken in regard to the odious monopo-
lies which the resolutions Justly con-
denim. Let the Legislature repeal them
at once, or, failing to do so, let the hon.
est endeavors Of the Democratic House
throw the odium of their existence
upon those to whom it justly belongs.

In addition to this fraudulent power
exercised under cover OF Federal arms
In our midst. tho Governor de .fdcto has
seized on two of the most important OF

Of New Orleans: and when elections

whatever. he exercises the appointing
power In respect to Justices OF the
Peace. and all other Offices up TO the

the most part when tho people look ut
the persons In whom he has vested his
own illegal authority, 1t Is impossible to
decide whether the ia,c, or public and
private morals, have been most offended.

The experiments in Brooklyn on sub
stituting steam for horses on a street
railroad are watched with great interest.
There is a long record Of similar
attempts that have resulted in more or
less modified failure. Yet the need for
such change is 50 evident and so many
advantages are possible from it, that
measure OF ingenuity which shall
compass it cannot be long delayed.
The horse railroads were a clumsy ex-
pedient at best, they are now utterly
behind this fast age in point OF speed
and convenience. The fact that street
cars are not warmed in winter has alone
decided many business men,, once
residents OF this city and Brooklyn
to remove to localities in New Jersey
where genuine railroad supplies the
means Of comfortable travel. The
Brooklyn experiments give hope Of this
improvement also; and that city OF
hills up which the spans and "tow-
horses" OF the street cars trudge so
YEARLY slow offers an excellent field
for testing the new invention.
