LONDON, September 20.-Thc Times ed
itoriGlly commenting on President Hayes
Southern tour, says: "In littlo more Ian
half year, the President has succeeded in
beating down compact mass of prejudice
and al!aying c host of conflicting passions.
The visible triumph of his policy is now
being assured. He has this week begun
a journey through tho Southern States,
which is intended to show that the work of
paciGcation is not far from completion. The
Federal Government has no intention Of
interfering in the local administration of
the Southern States. The Southern States
have no desire disturb the great achievements
Of the civil war, which have been embodied in
tho constitutions, amendments. The re-.
moval of the objects of contention makes it
easy to restablish friendly relations between
tho people, who respect each other; and the
sympathetic meeting of the President and
Governor Hampton is an omen of the com
ing time when the North and South will no
longer be separated by the lines of division
which tho civil war had traced"

AN IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION
The Supreme Court of the United States
recently rendered decision in the case of
j. K, Place a. Co., of New York, which
will prevent dishonest business men from
filing voluntary petitions in bankruptcy
Place had taken money from his business,
invested it in real estate, erected a princely
house on fifth Avenue, furnished it in fine
style, settled the same TO his wife, and then
went into bankruptcy. His creditors ques.
toned the right of Place thus to use their
money for his own personal purposes, and
insisted that the property should be sold
and the proceeds rcckoncd with the other
assets. Mrs. Place, through her attorneys,
objected and the case was carried through
the local Court, the Circuit Court, and up
to the United States Supreme Court, where
it was finally decided, that Court holding
that inasmuch as the property was pur.
chased iwith money taken from tho busi
ness, it rightfully belongs to the creditors,
its TRANSFORMED to the wife Notwithstanding.
This decision by tho highest tribunal in
tho land is very important to the wives of
all business men, who may fancy that prop.
crty thus secured to them by their husbands
is safe from all legal process. It is also i'm.
portant to business men themselves, show
ing them that such schemes to dcfraud their
lawful creditors will not hold good in law.

institution thus situated and with no
certain ownership.
The Ptcauuue has been SO long adj
dioted to Hopping and to the other bad
practices to which we referred Thurs
day, that the public are justifiable in not
being over trustful Of It's promises to
reform. It tells us 1t hos grown old
indeed. that 1t Is In its fortieth
year. That IL very old for d
newspaper. we admit. But, after
all. old age cannot make vice, gar
rulous imbeoility, bad manners and
bad temper respectable, nor can youth
and visor detraot from the eonsidera-
ton and respect which are due to honor
and patriotism. The Picaytne Is old, 1t
ID true, but IL seems to have had in
crease neither Of wisdom nor virtue.
Indeed, from its recent conduct. 1T
seems that its vices, its garrulousness
and bad temper have waxed in violence
and Slapped It's vigor as 1t has advanced
In years.
The Ptcay,,ne, In this discussion, has
boasted loudly Of the valiant work IL
did in the last and previous oanvasses;
and yet. before the smoke OF the battle
has rolled away, nay, before the fight
has been completely won. we find 1t
quarreling and growing over the
spoils. It reminds us of Thenard the
camp. follower, In Les Miserables,'
who hung on the rear of the army to
plumber the battle fields. and, when tho
war was over set UP an inn, which he
dubbed the Inn of the Hero Of Water
loo. where he boosted to his credu-
lous customers Of the valiant deeds he
had done on stricken fields.

they know that in the strict observance
of the limitations OF the Federal con-
stitution lies their only hope Of escaping
molestation and oppression on the part
of the dominant section of the country,
melted 70 hostility. and prejudice against
them by the bitter memories Of the late
war.
This being the case, and more partie-
ularly In Louisiana than In any other
State, we are naturally surprised that
any Louisianian with the least claim to
intelligence should be guilty, In dis
oussing the composition Of our Legisla-
ture, of SO gross q solecism as to speak
OF Returning Board quorum Under
the constitution OF the State the Re-
turning Board has no more jurisdiction
or control over the Legislature han has

of the persons actually elected TO the
two branches thereof, and 'oonstitu-
tional quorum" consists Of majority
Of the members so elected.

In our news columns we publish dis
patch to the Chicago Times, stating that
a member of Hayes Cabinet was credited
with the theory that all the trouble in
Louisiana comes from the fact that a
portion Of the people Of the State are OF
the Latin race, and therefore not In
sympathy with the political methods
and ideas OF the rest Of the American
people. The Times, commenting edi-
torially on the absurd hypothesis, says
With all due Difference to the member
OF the Cabinet, the Times. begs TO sug-
gest that the Latin race has nothing to
do with the matter. It isn't o race
question at ell. It's thieves. Durell
wasn't a Latin race. SO far as heard
from, Neither was Kellogg nor Wells.
And Paokard's Latinity Isn't half so
deserving of hanging az his rascality.
When the carpet-bag hrigands are
eradicated the Latin race will not trouble
louisiana.

In its article yesterday morning, be-
wailing Its failure to secure the public

wailing its failure to secure the pubic
printing, the Picuvt'te says:
Tho DEMOCRAT AYERS that the Legislature
never Intended that the public printing thould
he awarded to the lowest bidder. and II Is very
POSSIBLE that the DEMOCRAT speaks by the 9 "a !.
but il Ia true that other journals were invited TO
submit proposals, and The inference Is that the
DEMOCRAT was underbidden.
The Printing bill under which the
DEMOCRAT was awarded the printing
does not provide for bids. The bill fixes
the rates of different classes of print
inc, and directs the Board to contract
with responsible party at rates not
higher than those mentioned. The
members of the Board Satisfied them
selves by inquiry that the prices in the
bill were just and fair: that they insured
only q moderate profit. The Board
invited no bids under the bill;
none were made, and the DEM
ocRAT was not un3erbidden. The
DEMocRAr was awarded the con-
tract because the Board, knowing the
rates to be fair, believed that the DEMO
Graf deserved the contract.

For weeks past the country has been
In state Of apprehension and uncer-
tainty. No one, not even those highest
In position. know positively anything Of
the future. The situation teens with
conjecture, but there seems to be not one
certainty in it. The President and his
Cabinet evidently have no fixed pur-
pose, and yet every member Of Congress.
every newspaper and every politician
ID tie EUHiiea Is trying TO work out the
problem that is involved in this curious
and extraordinary situation.
The people are told that a written
agreement exists under which Southern
representatives permitted the count
under the electoral bill to so on, and by
which Mr.. Hayes and his friends were
bound on his Inauguration to withdraw
the Federal troops from the support Of
Chamberlain and Packard. Aremarka-
bile mystery has surrounded this agree
ment. No one connected with it feels
authorized to make it public, and yet it
lis a matter in which every man, woman
and child in the Union is deeply con-
earned. Mr.. Charles Foster and Mr..
John Young Brown have made state
ments in relation to that agreement,
and some vague and indefinite letters
have been printed purporting to be the
substance Of the contract. It is pretty
certain, however, that what haa been
given to the public was only prelimi-
naryto the final agreement.
This agreement should be made pub
liz without further delay. Its publica-
tion will quiet, in a measure, the
country, and show to what extent Mr..
HAYES pledged himself to a policy of
instice to Louisiana and South Caro-
Ina and to what extent he has violated
his pledges or the pledges OF his repre-
sentatiyes by delay. We have no idea
that there is anything dishonoraDle ID
this treaty, and we call for its publica'
fion in behalf Of the people.
