Editor Democrat Will you permit me
to call public attention to the important
suit which is set for trial to. day, in the
Circuit Court Of the United States for
the district Of Louisiana. O., Rosalie
Maenhaut, Louise Maenhaut OF al, vs.
the city Of New Orleans.
This case involves all the debts. OF
whatever character, now outstanding
against this city, and contracted since
the year 1862.
In this connection it will be proper to
recall the fact that on April 90, 1876,
pursuant to q deoretal order Of the said
Circuit Court, Judge L. Wharton Col
lens was appointed Especial master, I"
and charged, among several points OF
inquiry" to report whether the con-
ditions OF tho 37th section Of the act of
1859 has been violated by the issue of
other bonds or evidences OF debt ?"
The masters report has been on file
for some time, and in answering the
above inquiry the master has examined
every act through which this city has
added to her indebtedness and having
done 80 seriatin,, reports, without ex-
ception. that every debt incurred since
1862 has been contracted regardless Of
the obligations created by the act OF
1852"
This case It will be remembered was
called for trial on the 26th ult. The
counsel for the consolidated bonds were
prepared for the issue, but the city
wanted further time, and the trial was
postponed until the present date.
Very respectfully,
@. Fl. TEBAULT, M. D..

The Hayes Republicans OF the North
are just now very ooneiliatory aud
pleasant in their honeyed utteranees TO
the Southern whites. They appeal to
them to reflect and consider whether
their true interests do not lie In the di-
reotion Of coalition with tho better
elements of the Republican party. All
that we have to say TO them at the pres
ent time is, that the dilatoriness and
timidity exhibited by Mr.. Hayes and
his Commission in settling the Louisi-
ana question. are not calculated TO Ia
spire any alarming amount OF conf
dence and enthusiasm In the South.

We hear II said that Packard. In his
wild wanderings over his little acre.
has discovered that none OF his subjects
have paid cent Of taxes to Gov.
Nichols. Forthwith he sends one OF
his body servants perhaps the dapper
little Albert Leonard or the pompous
VIM. Ell. Hunt to inform the Commits
sion that Coy. Nichols cannot collect
any taxes. that Major Burke's Office is
d sham, that our friend Leonce Bouny
does nothing but pare his nails all day.
etc. We deeply regret that for some
reason or other Packard is not able to
visit Major Durke's Office. but the com.

we hereby extend to them n most cor.

Having come across the decision oI
The late Supreme Court of Louisiana In
he case Of Monoure w. Dubuelet, which
has never been reported, we publish II
this morning with q view TO allowing
with what agility that remarkable
court usually managed TO evade incon-
yenient issues presented for lie decision
and to perveft the law. We remember
that Col. +. 9. zaeharie. in his advocacy
or the claim Of Mr.. Moncure TO the
treaaurefship, made the following points
relative to the authority and iurisdic-
tion of tho Returning Board In the mat
tor OF determining the right to Office,
namely. /. II the action OF the board
under the law which created 1t was final,
IL exercised judicial powers and fune-
tions, which are forbidden by the con-
atitution OF the State to all bodies but
those upon which such powers are ex-
presBly conferred: wherefore the Re-
turning Board law was in eontravention
or the constitution. .. IL the action of
the board waa not final, II was subject
TO review by the courts.
The majority of tho court carefully
avoided impaling itself upon the first
horn of this dilemma, and gave iudg-
ment In favor Of Dubuolet, on the
ground that the Legislature had failed
to prescribe the mode OF proceeding In
contrasting the title to Office OF such an
officer as the Treasurer Of the State.
We do not care to comment at length
upon this or any other decision Of that
court, the Chief Justice OF which was
branded by the Supreme Court Of the
United States as having fraudulently
betrayed important trusts conflded to
him. We refer those who may take an
interest In the matter to the decision
published in this mornings issue. by
which 1t will be seen that the court
never did, az has been alleged. pro.
nounce upon the constitutionality of the
act creating the Returning Board.
The New York papers are poking fun
ut Packard and Company. The Tribune
saws that II the Packard Legislature
continues to disintegrate 1t will soon
consist mainly Of absentees; that the
country has been In state Of anxious
suspense for several days as to when
Senator Demas proposed to yibrate
back 10 the Nichols Legislature, and
that Packard goes about the Louisiana

rose OF summer, left blooming alone. "

FALL.

Our most noted American poet
has sung of the fall as "the melan-
choly days, the saddcst Of the year,
but in our opinion he was probably
suffering from a fit of indigestion at
the time he wrote. There is a rich.
ness and glory in the fall which no
other season Of the year possesses.
There is a mellow haziness in the
atmosphere which throws a halo
over the landscape as it lies spread
out beneath our feet, in all its end
less variety of color and outline;
and there is a marvellous beauty in
the shifting panorama of the little
patches Of sunshine and shadow as
they chase each other down the hill
side and across the valley. When a
sacred writer admonished us all in
solemn strains that I'VE all do fade
as the Leaf" he had no reference
to our American autumn, for
our leaves are never so gorgeous as
in their fadingj and if the Psalmist
had lived among the woodlands of
Mississippi he might have drawn
oven a deeper lesson from the fact
that our leaves in their dying hour
seem TO have caught the glory of
the sunset skies. There are but few
varieties Of leaves that are tinged,
it were, with the glory of the
sun, which, if the COMPARE
son may be drawn, will tell a sad
but solemn truth: that there are q
few, comparatively of the human race
whose dying hours are made bright
by the glory reflected from the Son
of Righteousness.
