CRIME AND IT'S PUNISHMENT.
IN. o. Picayune.

It Is matter OF graduation that
Louisiana has at length Govern
or who has the nerve to do his
whole duty and to ignore, in the
punishment and suppression Of
crime. the maadlin sentimentality
which shripks from the imposition
Of the death penalty upon public NAL
efactors. IF the penalty Of death
is to be abolished" said sombody
very wisely, ''let the murderers set
the example," and until they do so
we are firmly convinced that the
interests of society and the cause Of
civilization and humanity demand
that the murderer shall suffer
death.
That man shrinks from The in
Fiction of the death penalty is no i'm
dication that he is a kind hearted or
good man. Perhaps no man ever
filed the Office of governor in the
United States who so much
resembled Old Pagan in
Olive Twist as ". P. Kellogg.
Kellogg is a constitutional
prevaricatcr, a corrupt and dis
honest man, full Of malice and lit
tleness; yet he shrank from signing
the death warrants of the crowd OF
condemned murderers who infested
the Parish Prison. He was utterly
deficient in nerve-a constitutional
coward-a and to this defect of his
manhood, and not to any kindness
of his heart, is due the fact that the
painful but imperative duty of sign
ing the death warrants Of the three
men who were executed yesterday
in this city, and of the one who was
hanged in Opelousas last Friday,
was imposed upon Gov. Nichols.
The event of yesterday should
be a warning to the violent men in
the community Of all classes, who
have come to feel that it is safe TO
murder and who whip out their
pistols and knives on the slightest
provocation. We have entered
upon a new era in which the law is
to be supreme and in which it is
the purpose of the government to
protect life and property, and pro-
secute and suppress crime. Gov.
Nichols has had an unpleasant duty
to perform in these cases, and 9TH
err cases await his action; but the
rlght-thipking and law-abiding
classes of the people are with him,
and rejoice that in him the State
has chief executive who will
maintain the law and the peace OF
society against murderers and crim-
inals of every description.

A MARKED IMPROVEMENT.

Under the regime of malad-
ninstration that SO unhappily
marked the government Of
our State for twelve long
weary years. when corruptions
in every department. were as
manifold as they were fragrant,
none were more conspicuous
and potent in their evil influ-
cnces than those that crept
into the judiciary. Previous
to the war, the high toned
character Of the courts of
Louisiana was recognized
throughout the length and
breadth Of the land. Her jul
dietary was her boast and her
pride. Men of exalted abil-
ity and unquestioned honor
sat upon her bench, and the
laws were enforced with that
equity, impartiality and stern
justice without which they
would be but a mockery. and
| a shield for the commission of
! crime.
Not so in the immediate
period following the close OF
the late civil conflict between
the two sections Of our cons
mon country, and extending
down to the time Of the per>
manent establishment Of the
government Of the people.
During that long and we may
say eventful term of corrupt
and corrupting influences, our
tribunals of justice became
degraded to mere political
machines and prostituted to
the accomplishment Of par,i-
san ends. Corrupt and I'M
| scrupulous men were foisted
upon the bench; dishonest and
venal partisans found their way
into the courts as the repre-
sentatives of the State; :juries
were bought and sold right
under the eye Of the court it.
self; crimes went UNPUBLISHED
and criminals unwhipt of jus
| tice. The ends of the law
were defeated for the con-
sideration of a stipulated
sum; NoLLE PROSE oU1Es were
entered in the cases of noto-
rious offenders, often in con-
sideration of an inconsiderable
remuneration, and when, by
some fortunate circumstance
trial and conviction could not
he evaded, they were prompt
ly pardoned by the Executive
and turned adrift upon society
to repeat their crimes and in
suit the law.
These characteristics were
not confined to the metropoli-
tan centre. the great city Of
New Orleans. but they were
general throughout the rural
districts of the State. And
even where they did not as
sumo the proportions of Off
cial turpitude, there was that
laxity in the execution of the
laws, that made them virtual~
ly null and void.
It is a cause for graduation
that such a condition of af-
fairs has been removed, we
trust never to return. A new
impulse seems to have been
gwen to the moral SEN
timent of the entire commu-
nifty. No where is it more
obvious than in our own
midst. This is evidenced in
the proceeding of the District
Court whose session closed on
Saturday last. TIE determin-
