The easy divorces of the Courts have given
rise to scandal enough, it would seem, with
out having it appear that any of the churches
were in the same line of business. The ac-
count given elsewhere of the fve-dOllar di-
vOrces of the Polish and Russian Jews will
excite considerable establishment This is
making divorce too cheap altogether, and too
much within the reach of the toiling masses.
1t seems likely that this practice has prevailed
only among the poorer and more ignogant
classes but even these should learn that the
law of the land cannot be abrOgated OF nhlli-
fed by the unwritten code of sect within
sect, and that modern wisdom has ventured
to amend even the law of Moses. 1t is bad
custom, however, that is easily cured. few
prosecutions for bigamy, and these simple
people will conclude that divorces do not al

The resolution of the Polish leaders to re-
main passive during the Turco-Russian con-
flict, will enable Russia to send to the
field a large number Of troops which she
would have had to retain in Poland
were there any revolutionary outbreaks in
that Inflated country. The Polish decision
seems to be dictated by expediency as well as
by humanity. The prospects of success are
not sufficient to warrant revolt, which would
indirectly serve to rivet the chains on Bull
garia.

Practical demonstration of the efficacy of law
is given by the arrest of an additional number
of striking rioters, and also by the conviction
of several ringleaders But the ruling of the
United States Courts on the obstruction of the
mails by strikers is of more perma-
nent importance. The flimsy defence OF
the rioters, based on their willingness
to let special mail trains go, If those
did not take passenger coaches, is torn
10 shreds by Judge Cadwalladers decision.
He says, in words that should be memorable,
"They might as well undertake to say that
"the mails should be carried on three-wheeed
coaches or by white horses Evidently the

ayers, they have concluded on an apportion-
ment scheme which discriminates against the
commerce of this city, both outward and in
ward, by giving lower rates on freight to and
from Philadelphia and Baltimore. Freights
from Boston are to be the same as from here
to Chicago, though the distance from the
Massachusetts capital is a hundred miles
greater. AS usual, also, hope had been gener-
ally encouraged that the new apportionment
was to favor New-York. 1t would seem to be
about time to have this thing understood. The
railway magnates are always willing to talk
and make promises about beneftting this city.
Measured by the facts of their compacts, that
talk is CANNON.

Almost as ubiquitous as Death himself is the
modern pickpockct. Nor piety nor tears ar
rest his footsteps; he finds his prey even at
funerals and prayer-meetings. The thefts at
Martha's Vineyard this season exceed the Or
binary run of such dispensations, and the loss
of $4,000 worth of diamonds by one of the
ladies there gives a new notion of the attract
i've features of camp-meeting gatherings. The
incident will, however, be of some service IT, as is
probable, it yields fresh topic for the pulpit;
It would be regarded as too Improbable for
use on the stage.

THE TAX COLLECTORs' WAR.
st. Louis Hotel Talk Abeut 1t.


The same old story comes from Pack
ard Monday morning that was spoken
Saturday night. He still refuses to be-
lieve that his hopes are wasted, and he
lays back complaeently and enjoys the
unction obtained from his regular ra-
tion Of Washington kilograms. Green,
who was the stentorian clerk Of the Re-
turning Board, has got back from
Washington City, and he fixes the date
for Packard's recognition at Tuesday
even the faithful about the St. Louis
Hotel hardly swallow all OF his tale.
The leading topic Of conversation
around Packard's office was the State
Tax Collectors war and its probable
outcome. Major Il. A. Burke's suit In
the Fifth District Court and the iDjunc-
tion appended to 1t were executed this
morning, and Fulton, the Kellogg COL
lector, ousted from his Office on Gra-
vier, near Carondelet street, and Major
Burke installed.
Fulton, not recognizing the validity
Of the Nichols court, at an early hour
this morning went before Alfred Shaw,
ESQ, who plays the role OF judge in the
st. Louis Hotel, and obtained q writ of
Injunction against Major Burke, but
how the writ is to be executed outside
the building is mystery. From what was
heard around Packard's Office 1t Is M ore
than probable that this will be the test
case and the question OF the legality of
the Packard government be settled by
the power to execute the writs Of his
courts.

The concurrent resolution offered In
the Senate yesterday by Mr.. Texada, OF
Rapides, and unanimously adopted by
both houses, indorsing and pledging
the support of the Legislature to the
policy indicated by the President In his
inaugural, was wise and timely. The
President has undertaken, In the inter-
est Of peace and conciliation, q line Of
action in which he will meet the most
powerful opposition; in which failure
will be his utter ruin. It is the patriotic
duty OF the South to give him, In his
efforts to carry out his policy, vigor-
GUS and united support, and 1t is the
duty of every citizen OF Louisiana,
great and humble, to become peace
officer under the Nichols Government.
II Mr.. Hayes, after we have endured
80 many years of humiliation, oppres-
sion and misery, In defiance OF bis most
powerful party associates, steps forward
to give us relief and restore to us the
control Of our own affairs, we are In
honor bound to vindieate his action be-
fore ell the world, by displaying our
capacity and willingness to protect, to
the fullest possible extent. the rights
and lives and properties OF all classes
of our citizens.
The New Orleans daily Democrat., 1877-03-13

Should Vice President Wheeler and
his mixed commission OF Republicans
and Democrats, who our Washington
correspondent informs us propcae to
visit the South with view OF ascer-
tanning the real state OF the country and
reporting it to the President, come to
Louisiana. they willlbe treated by the
public with that consideration to which
their distinguished positions entitle
them. But we trust that no recognition
OF the propriety Of their mission will be
given by our representatives. We have
had enough of this business. If the
President cannot inform himself as to
the real condition Of things here and
the state OF public sentiment with the
reports Of the multitude Of committees
which have vexed US before him, this new
one can give him no additional light.
Indeed the only thing now left for the
Administration to do is to recognize
packard and plunge this State headlong
into anarchy and bloodshed, Or with
draw all Federal interference In Louis
iana affairs and let Coy. Nichols take

WHAT 10 A GENTLEMAN
Fulton Understands 1t One Way and
RlasInt Another.

Fulton Un0eFStAn0S At One way ana
RlasIni Another.
The most serious of human affairs
have their ludicrous points, and the
tax collectorship is no exception to the
general rule.
For some time past the Office OF Pack
ards tax collector, Fulton, on Gravier
street, has been necessarily watched.
After Major Burke's application to
Mr.. Fulton for the surrender of his
office, on Saturday, which was declined,
a guard was placed at the door and has
been kept there ever since. Yesterday
Patrolman John Blasini had charge Of
the door, when Fulton came to the
Office and asked for permission to lock
in. After little demurring on the part
of Officer Blasinf, he informed Fulton
that he could " look in" If he would
duced the key, with which the door was
opened and was allowed to "look in,"
nothing more, although his ambition
had not been entirely gratifed. Fulton
now asked for the return Of his key !;
Blasini, however, blandly informed him
that he would give it back to him IL he
would only walk with him to police
headquarters and satisfy the superin-
tendent of his right to the possession Of
the key to the door or the State tax
collectors office of the first district.
After clearing his throat, Fulton asked
whether Blasini thought that that
was gentlemanly way Of acting. Bla-
sini, as blandly as before, replied that
he did not know exactly, but he believed
that it was quite as gentlemanly as
Fulton's action the night before, when
he endeavored to gain admittance up
stairs by concealing his identity and
representing himself as cotton broker
whose Office was in one Of the upper
stories OF the building-and Fulton
went away without his key, leaving the
Office in full possession Of Major Burke.
Fulton, it seems, not satisfied with
his first escapade, applied for and OBJ

appointed tax collector Of that parish,
is In the city. DIR. Mumford informs us
that there is O universal disposition and
desire on the part OF the people to pay

CONFUSION.

The continuance Of the present an
archy In some Of the country parishes
is simply impossible. We Of New Or
leans are able here to appreciate some
OF the disadvantages Of the status quo,
to see 1t destroying the trade and busi-
ness, and eating away the life Of our
city, but what we see and feel are
but shadows to the curses hanging
over those portions Of Louisiana In
which the officials still cling to Pack
ards desperate fortunes, deceived by
forged kilograms and fraudulent reports.
In all the parishes, even those wholly
under Democratic rule, there is'stagna-
tion OF business and gloomy prospects.
but In these Radical ridden parishes the
confusion is terrible, and far worse than
revolution or war, for 1t is anarchy. In
the Radical river parishes In the north
or the State, for instance, the judges re-
fuse to allow lawyers to practice who do
not possess licenses, that Is, who have
notl paid their licenses to the Packard
tax collector, and as all the lawyers de-
cline to do this, decline to aid or abet
in any manner this common enemy,
there is no court Of any kind. After
keeping open their courts for few
days without cases, lawyers or argu-
ments, these judges, in disgust, ad-
journed sine die, closed their courts and
are now waiting patiently for an end Of
this anarchy, convinced that no case
can be tried until it is ended.
A similar case occurred in Iberia,
where the judge, who, it is claimed, IL
legally and improperly holds the office
OF District Judge, attempted to hold
court. Not lawyer attended, and
when the Judge attempted to get a jury.
by force, almost a civil war was the con-
sequence. The confusion is complete
throughout these parishes, and law
wholly suspended. How is It possible to
