VAaRANTs..


There is very sweeping billSbeing con-
sidered in the Democratic caucus, one
branch having passed it, called an act
relative to vagrancy, and prescribing PEN
alties therefor.
Under it it becomes important to the
citizen to know how houses of entertain
ment are rated on the police books.
Groggeries, taverns and beer houses are
terms that might include many popular
places of resort, and indeed all houses of
entertainment except few hotels, yet all
who lodge in them are considered va
grants. 1t is generally considered that a
man must be received at house of en-
tertainment for man or beast if he is well
behaved, and has money for his lodging.
And the law imposes a liability to an ac-
ton for damage for an innkeepers re-
fusal. But this bill makes no distinction
between him and the tramp who is
clothed in bundle of rags that 40 not
contain the price of nights lodging A
man who can pay for place to sleep in is
not vagrant because he selects a cheap
one.
The bill, however, makes up for this
in discriminating between drunkards.
There is no penalty for the ordinary,
habitual drunkard, but if in the opinion
of the ordinary peeler he ''shall abandon
and refuse to aid his family, be may be
arrested. Here is dilemma. If he is a
Vagrant, how can he laid" family
And if he has means to support them,
how can he be a vagrant2 "Visible
means are the words of the bill, but if he
have none, how can he be said to refuse
to share them?
A discretion is left with the magistrate
which would cause, in this State, grave
apprehensions among the colored people.
He may sentence them to six months in
Workhouse and, in his pleasure, may add
the penalty of working on the streets and
levees. There are memories of the va
grant act of 1866, which do not suggest
an impartial exercise of this power.
But the third clause goes step further.
To any one who extends helping hand
to those "without employment, to those
wandering abroad" to beggars or to
habitual drunkards, or, in the words Of
the section, 'all persons who shall harbor
vagrants," there is penalty Of fifty dol
lars. Good Samaritans might take warn.

We suppose the proposition to take
seventy-five thousand dollars out of the
State treasury to pay the Nichols police,
and fifty thousand dollars to pay the
White League, may be considered aver
age reform measures. The patriots
rushed nobly to the front with their shot
guns, and now the shanty aristocracy are
expected to rush forward as nobly with
their contributions. Here is at least one
eighth of the States entire revenue
grabbed by the political rings Of New Or
leans alone. The bulldozers of the coun-
try who did all the efficient rough riding
in the last campaign seem to have no
friends at court.

whole resources of the Republican party
of any given locality before knocking at
the tents Of the Democracy for fit man
TO be postmaster.
About the time this illusion was de-
sttoyed it became evident that great
mistake had been made about the inten-
tons of the President in regard to the
troops. The latest and best advices in
form us that not soldier will be sent
away until there is full and complete
understanding of every body's political
rights and official position. This post
pones the millennium solong looked for
by the faithful White Lacquer TO an in
nednite period. Is
Finally, the Cabinet, at the meeting on
Tuesday, was to take up the Louisiana
case and settle it if it took all day. After
the adjournment it was telegraphed here
in mournful numbers, ''The Presidents
Southern policy has been Endorsed as a
sentiment, but postponed as practical
question"
Next comes the commission, for it is the
law of Democratic being that as soon as
the old bubble has burst new one must
emerge and do duty for the moment, to
be succeeded by another, and SO on, dd
inJiuitum. The idea of an investigation is
at all times distasteful to the turbulent
party that has conducted an election cam
paign by means of fraud and violence.
Hence, this last hope beams but family
upon the political horizon, with many a
heartfelt prayer that it may not fully rise.
There is little for the Democrats to expect
from commission TO examine into the
peculiar tactics which Cancelled the Re
publican majorities in Ave parishes and
reduced them at nearly all the polls in
the State.
Whether this commission shall come
here or not, the fact that it has been sug-
gested will be used to make the uuthink-
ing masses believe it is something favor.
able to the Democracy, though knowing
ones really regard it as sinister omen.

When President Hayes announced
''southern policy" in his inaugural ad-
dress, al and singular Of the Southern
Democratic politicians put construction
upon It favorable to their interests. The
special makers, the ambassadors, and all
the tide walters thought il meant tho
ofhces for the Democrats and the glory Of
the victory for the Republicans. Among
the first things to be done BY the Presi-
dent in carrying out his Southern policy
was to withdraw tho troops from Charles
ton and Now Orleans, SO that the local
pretenders could help themselves to The
State Offices while Meaara. Key and Dew

TOO MUCH COUNSEL.

Some one evidently in the interest of
the Democratic Congressman from Louis
lana, telegraphs to the Democrat from
Washington that there has been ''too
much conflict Of advice. too many adj
visers from conservative sources for the
best interests Of the Nichols government. !"
The correspondent is OF the opinion that
things would have been better managed
if they had been left to the regular CON
gressional delegation. We have no opin-
ion to express upon the merits Of this
controversy. We note, however, by way
Of exception, that if the opinion Of the
Democrat special correspondent be based
upon good grounds, the high contracting
ambassadors who we're sent to Washing
ton by Mr.. Nichols 'sto represent the
State government" were regarded by
Messrs. Gibson, Ellis and Levy as in
truders and busybodies in other peoples
business. AS one Of these commissioners
has since been confirmed in fat Office,
it Is evident the party here does not con-
chr in the opinion, or, at least, did not
very lataly, As the appointment was con
ferred upon the messenger merely for
bringing the assurance that the troops
were 60 BE- removed and the Nichols goy-
eminent recognized without delay, there
was probably too much haste manifested
in giving the reward II looks 70 Us

The Democrat sings 10 its hearers a
hopeful little ditty upon the theme that
President Hayes has kicked aside the
dirty ladder by means of which he
assembled to power. 1t appears to us,
also, that the President has been doing a
little kicking on his own account, but we
do not understand that any Republicans
have been hit. The only dirty ladder
which was used in the case of Mr.. Hayes
election was that composed of lot of
bowling Democrats in the lower House Of
Congress. These some of Mr.. Hayes
rather over.zealous personal friends sought
to quiet. by making some vague promises
about Southern policy which the Presi-
dent finds it inconvenient to fulfill. As
neither of the contracting parties had
any authority to buy and sell the variouR
public places of the government, it neces.
sarily follows that the flibusters who
ceased to be ridiculous upon the promise
of Stanley Matthews that they should
run Hayes government, are doomed to
disappointment They already begin to
suspect something, and many of them re-
greet they did not keep up their shrieking
and bowling and other riotous proceed
ings in the House to the last moment of
the session. President Hayes has neither
the power nor the disposition to kick aside
the Republican ladder by which he vault
ed from the executive chair of Ohio into
the White House. His personal and po-
litical friends are in that party, and there
is no disposition manifested to surrender
any part Of the franchises, assets and
property of the party. This State is Re
p ublican, and the Republicans of the
North are determined not to surrender it
to the enemy under any circumstances.
Two Senators and two members of the
House are involved. Both bodies are
close as to parties, with the Republicans
q little ahead in the Senate and the House
more doubtful. AS the late partial sue
cesses of the Democracy have eliminated,
every effort will be made by the Repub-
licans to confirm them in their downward
tendency. And it will be seen at last that
if any ladder is to be kicked from under
the presidential feet it will be the proper
one.
