Governor Nichols has made pledge
which we hope will be repeated by all
the other appointing powers Of our new
State and city governments. namely.
to GUST precipitately all lax. inefficient
and dishonest officials. This rule Is
especially necessary to be applied to the
organization of all the offices connected
with the administration OF justice and
the maintenance Of good police. A
rigorous discipline and a higher stand
ard Of efficiency, promptitude and So
briefly must be applied to the formation
of this force. Under this system there
must be considerable thinning out Of
the first enlistments or appointments be-
fore we shall obtain satisfactory corps.
There must be vigorous enforcement
OF law and order in this city and through
out the State.

his assistant to drag tho criminal par
ties before the courts.
The restoration OF legitimate govern
ment in this State should not be stained
by any act OF violence or persecution,
but 1t must be characterized by an earn
est, vigorous and relentless pursuit
and prosecution of the criminals whose
corruption and rascality have cost
Louisiana ten years Of misery and tur-
rneil and several hundred millions OF
dollars. Let the committees do their
whole duty and the law officers theirs,
and there are quite a number OF indivi-
duals just now playing the iole OF party
organizers who will disappear from the
blaze Of political life to serve the State
in different capacity.

At the request Of many Of the officers
and soldiers Of the Louisiana troops,
Col. James Lingan calls meeting of
the Louisiana survivors of the Army of
Tennessee to assemble Tuesday even
ing, at half.past z o'clock, over Haw-
kins' Saloon, on Common street. The
object Of the meeting, which Is to form
an historical and charitable associa-
ton, should enlist the warmest support
and cooperation Of all interested.
A contemporary says thst as Bob Ingerso'l
wants q foreign appointment Hayes could use
him as an envoy TO Batans Kingdom. Bob 10

for the place and climate.
II there are any carpet baggers in his
Satanic Majesty's realm, we Of Louisi-
ana hope that Hayes will not establish
any reciprocity treaties, extradition
laws, or other friendly relations with
that power. Especially do we protest
against any treaty that will encourage
emigration in this direction.

COMPETITION In THE SUPPLY OF
ARTICLES OF FOOD.

There is controversy between the
lessees Of stalls in the Poydras Market
and the vendors Of flowers, veget ables,
fruits and divers other articles who &C.
cupy the vacant paved space between
the head OF the market and Baronne
street. The stall lessees object to this
forstalling them by vendors who pay
no rent, and call upon the city to eject
the intruders. These parties, however,
pay some tribute to the city in the way
OF license; they are engaged in a
legitimate and laudable business
ana, provided the owners Of the
property do not object to their
occupying the ground, we see no justice
or equity in the demand Of the STALL
owners. On the contrary, the trade Of
these small dealers, who bring their
own products to the market to sell and
find all the stalls occupied on long
leases, ought to be encouraged and pro-
tected. The real monopolists and fore
stallers are the lessees Of the stalls who
seek to exclude competition and fix
prices to suit themselves. In all other
cities there are long lines of wagons
and carts drawn up alongside of the
markets and extending great distance
on the streets from the head of the
market, from which the citizens OBJ
tain their cheapest and freshest ma
terials from the first producer, thereby
escaping the additional charge and COM
mission of the middle men. These
wagons bring in vegetables, eggs, poul-
try, fruit and flowers, direct from the
neighboring farms and gardens. and
these producers sell for themselves
without paying commissions to the
truckmen.
tits thus that the food supply is cheap

THE NEW INOUIsIrlON.

Almost in the closing hours Of the late
session the Legislature adopted joint
resolution directing the President Of
the Senate, Lieutenant Governor Witt.
and the Speaker Of the House, Hon.
Louis Bush, to appoint joint committees
OF the Senate and the House to sit dur
ing the recess, with power to send for
persons and papers, for the purpose OF
investigating the offices Of the Auditor,
Treasurer, Superintendent Of Public Ed
ucation, and the affairs Of the State
Land Office, and the Executive Depart
ment Of the State.
The Lieutenant Governor and Speaker
have discharged their duty under this
act, and the names Of the Senators and
Representatives comprising the COM
mittees will be found officially printed
in the DEMOCRAT this morning.
The committees are as strong as the
composition Of the Legislature would
admit OF. Some Of the committee men
will not be apt to press these important
Investigations to any extent that will
endanger the corruptionists who have
made the government OF this State in
wears past by-word and reproach ;
but Messrs. Wilt and Bush have taken
care to place on each committee enough
thoroughgoing, energetic and deter
mined men to insure rigid and merci-
less inquisition.
The action Of the Legislature in
providing for these committees was in
line with the suggestion Of the DEMO
Graf. that the official robbers and cor
ruptionists OF the last eight years be
brought by the law officers OF the gov
eminent to the bar Of justice and
made to disgorge all Of their spoil
and plumber that can be found,
At the same time that we made this
suggestion. we mentioned the names OF
number Of the men who had been
most conspicuous in the crimes perpe-
trated in the last eight years against
the people Of Louisiana. We also
called the attention Of the Attorney
General to the fact that the Judges Of
the Supreme Court had, contrary to
their oaths, and under no other sane
ton than an illegal and Ubiquitous act
Of corrupt Legislature, drawn out Of
the Treasury upwards Of seventy-five
thousand dollars over and above the
salaries which the constitution al
lowed them. The people will ex-
pect the committees Of Investigation to
search out and expose the mass Of rot
tenness and corruption Of the recon-
struction era in this State, and they
will expect the Attorney General and

A very observant sugar planter and
statistician exhibited to us yesterday a
statistical estimate OF falling off In the
crops Of the sugar growing countries
from which all the importations into the
United States are made, exceeding
10000 hogsheads for the coming season
compared with tho last. Our sugar
planters ought to be inspired by this
and other encouraging facts of like
nature, to ply their culture OF this years
cane crop with redoubled vigor. A
large sugar crop will be an immense
help to restore the fortunes Of our State
and people.

Twenty or thirty years ago Mrs.
Gaines travelled through the country
with her veteran husband, the distin-
guished Gen. Edmund P. Gaines, and
delivered lectures-the General on the
Importance of floating batteries for
coast defences, and Mrs. Gaines follow
ing him in discourse on the Horrors
Of War" 1t was very amusing and
instructing antithesis, and large crowds
attended these lectures.
We. venture to suggest that the ener-
getic and eloquent plaintiff in the
Gaines suit, lately concluded in this
city, reproduce her lecture, changed in
its title, but only slightly altered in its
tenor and spirit, and depict to her fell
low-citizens the Horrors Of Litiga-
ton"

The first Turkish victory in the bonn
bardment Of Fort st. Nicholas, on the
Black Sea. is not very brilliant COM
mencement Of their aggressive opera
tions, considering that this fort was dis
mantled in 1854. The only serious loss
inflicted by this terrific bombardment
on the Russians was the killing Of SER
geant. who happened to be in the fort
AS a spectator.
This exploit OF the Turks will rank
with the heroic achievement OF our
Continental Guards, at the beginning of
our late civil war, in their dashing move
ment against Fort Pike, which that cor.
pulent veteran sergeant OF the United
States army, Familiarity known then and
ever since as Uncle Billy Bosworth, de-
Tended with SO much gallantry and
only surrendered to a superior force
which bore at its head barrel Of old
Rye.
1T is not to you. you bloody rebels,
r surrender. / have the power and the
disposition to shed your blood but, il
were to open my batteries I should spill
a much more valuable fluid" The Con-
tinentals gave Uncle Billy most liberal
terms: he capitulated with all the
honors Of war and then INDUCED in one
OF his peculiarly hearty and resonant
outlaws rs he informed his exultant
captors that there was not weapon Of
offensive or defensive warfare in the
whole fort which had been used, or in
condition to be used, for twenty years.
The truth is, these old forts are utterly
useless and, in fact. only deceive peo-
ple into the idea that they are protected
by them, when. in fact. they are only tit
for traps, cemeteries and bake-ovens.

The Chicago Times says:

A decision just rendered by the Su-
preme Court Of the United States shows
up curious and not very creditable
transaction on the part Of Mr.. Jewell,
recently Postmaster General of the
United States. The decision represents
jewell as acquiring the title to half
demented old woman's homestead, a
valuable piece Of property, under con-
tract for her support for the remainder
Of her life, the contract being obtained
from her within few weeks before her
death. It Is curious that man OF Mr..
JEWELS wealth should have been con-
cerned in such a transaction, and
stranger still that he permitted his
claim under 1t to become matter of liti,
cation and consequently of public no
toriety. The court decreed the restora.
ton Of the property to the old woman e
heirs.
