The attention of members OF the bar
and of the sheriffs throughout the State
ia called to an important decision rem
dered yesterday by the Supreme Court
In the case of "The Board OF Liqui-
dators OF Hart Il Hebert VS.. Pike.
Brother & Co.," the full text Of which
we publish this morning in our Su-
preme Court column. Plaintiffs en-
Joined the execution of writ Of seizure
and sale sued out by defendants, on the
ground, among others, that no legal
notice had been served upon defendants
In execution. Mr.. Justice Spencer, as
the organ OF the court, held that In
proceedings pia egecuti0a notice OF
Judgment must be issued by the Clerk,
and that the writ cannot issue until the
legal delay has run from the service OF
such notice on the defendant. This is
one OF the most important rulings made
for long time, as we believe the uni
versal practice has been for the sheriff
to issue and serve the notice after the
receipt by him Of the writ.

Is easy to conceive that the designations

would relieve the incoming Administra-

most unkindest cut OF ALL" that he
(Packard) should be thrown overheard,
as 1t were, by the Radical party Of the
South. We have little doubt that the
leaders Of the party in Louisiana, as
soon as they learn that they need expect
no Federal offices if they support Pack
ard, will join the Jackson Times in this
cry and insist on Packard stepping

A scheme of Packard's followers to
blow up the st. Louis Hotel and charge
1t to the people OF New Orleans was ex-
posed by tho DEMOCRAT yesterday.
These men seem to have had O half q
dozen similar schemes on hand at the
same time. determined. when their gov
eminent finally collapsed, to cause ruin
and death in this city. An account OF
certain queer proceedings going on in
the neighborhood of the Supreme
Court building ard the storage of a
large amount of gunpowder there,
given in another column, points ap-
parently to grand Radical plot, after
the style Of Guy Fawkes, to produce
some terrible disaster in this city, in
the midst of which confusion Packard g
followers probably hoped, like Guy
Fawkes, to regain some of their lost
powers.
AS this gunpowder was only dis
covered yesterday evening, it has been
impossible to unravel all the mysteries
Of this case; which is, in fact, almost as
mysterious yet as Packard's assassina-
ton. There is reason to believe, how
ever, that the Radicals would not hest
tate to try such scheme as blowing up
the Supreme Court to redeem their des-
perate fortunes, whatever 1t might cost
in life and property.

the malevolent harangue delivered by
Packard, when he pretended to assume
the gubernatorial chair-an utterance
full Of hate, narrow and vindictiye
partisanism then let them compare
the Infamous, indeed the villainous
scheme of legislation mapped out by
the st. Louis Hotel gang with the nom

Odd Fellows Hall and finally, let them
read the testimony given by Kellogg,
Packard and all the thieves themselves,
of the lawless condition Of the State

Last evening Theodore Tilton deliv-
cred his lecture, the Problem Of Life, at
| Grunewald Hall, to moderately large
would be hard, indeed, for any one to
say anything original upon this tritest
of subjects, nor has MFR. Tilton done 80 !;
yet 1t wonld be surprising had he not
been able to say great many eloquent
| things upon this theme, that Is not less
fruitful than trite. AS O literary pro-
| duction this discourse Is certainly most
admirable; it abounds in noble senti-
ments, in exalted thoughts, epjoined In
eloquent periods and impressed by
q luxuriance Of happy illustration,
yet through it all there runs Il wan
ton and sybaritic sentimentality
that can find no sympathy from
this people, whose point Of honor
is the very antipode Of that established
by that evangel Of gush, of which Til
ton Is only less illustrious disciple
than Beecher himself. Much was said
of the good old homely virtues, but
fault was found with the good old
homely ways of intoxicating them. He
would have us believe that humanity,
noble, perhaps, instinctively, but weak
and erring nevertheless, can be led to
moral perfection, to heroic patience and
divine resignation, along broad and
pleasant ways and by fowery paths,
and by discipline that, by reason of
Its utter lack of all hard and cruel ex-
perience, must enervate the sturdiest
native virtue. Self command and tenn
perance, the fundamental principles Of
all relis ious and philosophic morality,
were never realized by such process.
This creed may develope good men and
pure women, but they will be mere
sybarites OF sentiment or morality, and
not people Of that stern and stoical pu-
ritv that withstands alike seduction and
compulsion.
As an orator Mr.. Tilton has many an d
grievous faults, nearly all Of which
spring from the most colossal vanity in
America. His affectations of speech,
particularly Of articulation, are simply
nauseating. He calls education
"edukushin," men min" and so on,
In many instances it being as difficult to
understand his language as that Of
child with whose nursery lingo one is
unfamiliar. Yet, withal, his manner is
pleasing, his gesticulation forceful and
graceful, his voice sonorous and rich,
and at times he is majestic and even
eloquent.

Friend after friend deserts Packard,
and soon-perhaps even before his gov
eminent goes to pieces-he will be left
alone and solitary, without supporter,
or sympathizer, in the whole country. A
few short weeks ago, before the vote Of
Louisiana had been disposed Of. Pack
ard and Packard's government were
quite popular with the Northern Repub-
licans. but when it became known that
the President elect did not love Pack
ard with particular vigor, none "were
so poor as to do him reverence" The
New York Tribune, that had been load
ing the title of Governor on him, as il
that epithet would breathe life and
yigor into his rotten government,
dropped that much abused word, rated
him as simple Packard and asserted
that il Grant had recognized the
Nichols government a month ago it
would have been advantageous to the
entire country.
Long after his Northern friends
deserted him, long after Grant had
shown Pitkin and Kellogg the door, the
Southern Radicals still chung to Pack
ard. They could not desert him, for he
was the very epitome OF Southern
Radicalism, its truest representativ and
the Southern Radicals felt that in his
and Chamberlain's fate lay their future
prospects.

Texas beef ought to arouse a feeling
of State pride, of mournful patriotism
in the heart OF every true son of Lou.
isiana. It Is not that 1t Is much tougher
than our beef, not that 1t calls forth
more monstrous dreams and spectacles
ut night, but that every citizen Of Lou
isiana can look upon 1t as some long
lost brother, child Of Louisiana de-
scent.
All the cattle of America are of Euro
pean descent, but from many different
stocks. The herds Of Paraguay and
Buenos Ayres are of Spanish descent,
as they show In their savagery and Wild
ness: the meek domestic cattle Of the
Western States came originally from
England, where they have been domesti-
Gated for several centuries, while the cat
tie OF Texas are OF French descent and
owe their origin to some animals brought
over to Louisiana with the earliest col
onists OF this State. It 10 impossible to
follow oil the wanderings Of these; 1t
Is only known that some score Of them
found their way to San Antonio, that
they prospered more upon the soil OF
Texas than upon that Of Louisiana, and
that In few years they had increased
to thousands and now to millions.
And now, after the lapse Of century
and half, these return to US to be wei
coined, admired and eaten.

A sharp, cute farmer up in Northwest
louisiana with good deal Of New Eng
land blood evidently flowing in his veins,
conceived brilliant scheme the other
day by which he hoped to beat the rail-
roads, cheat the steamboats, and defraud
the merchants generally. To this end
he made up an enormous bale Of cot
ton, weighing 141o pounds. and shipped
it to New Orleans, via Shreveport, with
the idea that a bale OF cotton was bale
CT cotton whether 1t made ten or a mil
lion pounds, and that 1t would cost only
one-third as much to send this bale to
market as it would were it divided, as
1t should have been, into three bales
or 4T0 pounds each, and that he would
thus be able to save freight. storage,
drayage, ETC., on two bales. The Trick
succeeded to small extent, and the
bale got on as far as Shreveport as one
bale. There were, it is true, some COM
plants as to size and weight, and not a
few Iprofane remarks thereon; al
Shreveport its course Of triumph ended
the steamboats, declined to be hum
bugged and refused to pass the bale fol
