THE LAWS MUST DE EsFUE g ED.

We are pleased to observe that the
absurd idea that there exists any
agreement, such as probably did exist
at one time In this city, not to suspend
tho organization and enforcement OF
the authority of the lawful government
of the State, pending IN order from the
late President which directed the Uni
ted States military to support what was
called the status quo, is no longer oouns
tenaneed by the Governor and other
officials.
This status and agreement, informal
as 1t was, was cancelled by the last or
der OF President Grant, which distinctly
and emphatioally announced that the
military could no longer be employed
to maintain u condition 80 disorgan-
izing and injurious to the quiet and
order OF this community.
Hence tho government OF Governor
Nichols has proceeded regularly and
vigorously in the enforcement of its au.
thority and of the laws. There is, how.
ever, more to be done In thesame diree-
ton. The disturbers OF the peace and
resisters of due process of law, who oo-
eupy single building In this city, must
not be allowed to oppose or interfere
with the operations Of the government
and the proceedings Of our courts. All
persons so engaged or acting must be
held to prompt responsibility, restraint
and punishment. President Grant de.
clared and President Hayes has reiter.
ated the declaration that a government
must show that Ii IL self.Hustaining and
aequieseed In by the people, before It
can be recognized Us the legitimate gov
eminent OF state. There must, there.
fore. be full and complete proof that our
government fultills the requirements OF
a legitimate government. And there is
no better evidence Of this character than
Ia to be found In the vigorous enforce.
ment of the laws and authority OF the
government.
The Attorney General has entered
upon the right course to furnish this
evidence, by the employment Of judicial
methods to Dust, suppress and punish
all intruders and usurpers of official
authority and power. The people are
giving the highest evidence Of
their cordial support of the government
by the prompt pay ment OF taxes and u
cheerful obedience to the Nichols
authorities. The consideration of such
tribute Ia that these officials shall pro-
teet them against usurpers, intruders
and insurgents. This Ia the frat duty
Of D lawful government. Let 1t be per-
formed without hating, indeeision or
delay.
Irreparable injury would be done to
every interest OF our people by any
longer dilly.dallying in this matter.
The administration of justice and the
laws would be hampered and INSTRUCTED
to degree which Is intolerable, by any
further delay In the discharge of duties
which the public officials were elected
to perform with fidelity and prompt
tude.
When the commission sent by the
President arrives here, II 1t ever comes,
let the fact that our government is In
full and complete operation, exacting
obedience from and enforcing its au-
thority against all persons, be TIN only
response from US to any demand"or in
quiry as to the existence OF lawful de
fdcto and de j,tre government In Louis
lana. -.-.-.

Tie following dispatch WAC received
by General Anger yesterday morning
and was transmitted to Packard and to
Governor Nichols:
Gen. @ @, Augur, \ ew Orleans, La
A commission will shortly visit Louisiana.
In the meantime the President desires that
the situation remain unchanged.
Piease report what changes In the situation IL
any have occurred since the close of the late I'D
mtnistration.
W. MoCRARY. Secretary of War.
The publication of this dispatch led
to the circulation of number of absurd
rumors calculated to disturb the conf
dence of the public. The dispatch pos
sesses very little significance: we are
very certain that 1t will in no measure
influence the policy Of Gov. Nichols,
and we doubt If Gen. Augur will feel
called upon, In view Of 1t, to change in
the least his line Of action.
The status quo was done away with by
President Grant before the expirat ion
Of his term, when, in conversation,
now famous, with Messrs. Levy, Ellis
and Gibson, he declared that the people
Of Louisiana were as free to settle their
own affairs as are those Of Connecticut.
There have been no orders from Wash
ington since that time re-establishing
the status quo, and Gov. Nichols has
gone on vigorously organizing the gov
eminent of which he is the head. 1t is
now In complete working order, dis
charging its functions and collecting
large amounts Of taxes here and in the
parishes, and there is not an Office in
the State, we believe, untitled.
We attach, therefore, no Importance
to the dispatch of the Secretary of War
to General Augur, because, since the
last days of President Grants admins
tration, there has been no status quo,
and Mr.. Hayes cannot order any change
in the present situation without gross
and shameful violation of his honor and
his pledge to establish local self-govern-
ment In this State and South Carolina.
These constant panics among our peo-
pie on the reception of dispatches from
Washington which do not look to the

Hood Medicines.

DR.. Halls views in regard to the eff
cheney Of food as medicine, when dis
criminatingly used. seem to be reasona-
bic. He relates the case Of a man who
was cured of billiousness by going with
out his supper and drinking freely OF
lemonade. Every morning this patient
rose with a wonderful; sense OF rest, re-
freshment and a feeling as though the
blood had been literally washed, cooled
and cleansed by the lemonade and fast.
His theory is that food will be used as a
remedy for diseases successfully. For
example, he instantly cures the splitting
of blood by the use Of salt; epilepsy and
yellow fever, by wa.ermeloBs; kidney
affections by celery; poison by olive or
sweet oil; erysipelas by pounded cram
berries applied to the parts affected;
hydrophObia by onions. etc. So the thing
to do in order to keep in good health is
really to know what to eat and not
hat medicines to take.

American Trade With Australia.

Our trade with Australia is quite linn.
tied. owing to the fact that America An
goods reaching there are sent via Eng.
land, which is not advantageous. The
goods of the Bates Manufacturing Com.
pany, Of Lewiston, Of the Atlantic NJ lis,
have reached Queensland. Mr.. Angus
Mackay, who was Com missioner from
Queensland to the Centennial Exhibi-
ton, writing to a friend in this city says
that they were highly spoken of by
experts, and might find a market. Mr..
Mackay adds: You will be glad to hear
thai l have managed to introduce Amer
lean locomotive engines. An order for
three went this last mail to the Bald
win Company, Philadelphia. American
tools would come rapidly into favor
tools Of best quality and most approved
make for carpenters, joiners, cabinet
makers, etc, sugurs, plOws. axes. saw
sets. and the many notions for which
America is famous. If acquainted with
makers Of A 1 articles of the kind, you
might advise them with confidence. 4
great trade could be established. There
is no duty on such articles here, and If
firms would cOnsign moder.
ately for a beginning, to my care, l
would see the goods placed in the hands
Of good firms here, and will personally
guarantee that the invoice amount shall
be paid. I feel assured that American
tools would carry all before them in this
market Goods for Queensland Ear be
vent via Sydney or Melbourne" There
appears to be an opening for American
goods in Australia which ought to be
improved. We lack the ready means
which England possesses of distributing
goods, and this feature of commerce
ought to receive greater attention than
t has In the past-Boston Journal.

Mustapha offered to undertake the en-
terprise, fortified by his superior good
ness, provided the governor would aid

people of humber pretensions.
