for 1t is necessary to the preserva-
ton Of the honor of our State and to
restore our manners and our virtues.
EXECUTIVE OLEMENCY.

| The sheriff OF Calcasieu parish this
morning leaves the city with J. g. Gut
dry, now under sentence of death for
the murder, several years ago, of a man
in that parish who had invaded the
sacredness of his family. From what
we have learned Of the facts In this
case, Guidry is a worthy object of exc
cutive clemency, and we think Gov.
Nichols will find it consistent with his
duty to pardon him.
The killing, under our customs, was
clearly justifiable. Guidry, in killing the
fellow, acted as man protecting his
honor and the sanctity Of his family.
The deceased had been employed by him
on his place and had taken advantage Of
the confidence reposed in him to make
love to the wife of his protector. 1t IL
even stated that he had made
arrangements to procure divorce
that would ruin Guidry's happi-
ness forever and eliminate the
desires of his criminal love.
Upon this the abused husband inter-
cepts d letter from the man to his wife.
In the first fury of his despair he loses
no time, goes to the destroyer of his
peace and shoots him. It is as legiti
mate case Of self-defense as can be
cited. Honor Is more precious than life.
The sacredness Of family ties are to be
guarded with more jealous care than
existence itself. Why then should the
man who kills in defense OF his life and
property be more excusable than he
who vindicates, even with blood, his
sacred honor and most precious posses
sions
In this State, IL Guidry had gone to
law about the matter, sued or prose-
cuted the men who had insulted his
wife, he would have been laughed at
for his pains, and court and jury would
likely have joined in the laugh at his
expense. He had thus no recourse but
to submit to the disgrace of his family
and the contempt OF his own wife, or
kill the invader Of his household. The
laws and customs Of the country In which
he lived offered him no alternative.
Shall it, then, be said that If man In
Louisiana goes to law when his wife is
insulted, he shall be laughed at; and
that II he resents the injury by killing
the destroyer Of his home, he shall be
hanged? That would be system worse
than native barbarism, because it would
destroy all sense Of honor and purity,
and undermine the very foundations Of
society.
II there be wrong, society is responsi-
BILE for 1t, and not the poor fellow whom
1t has forced to take his defense In his
own hand.

The State Department has been Of
ficially notified that the French Indus.
trial Exhibition will be opened May /,
1878, and that detailed regulations for
the information Of exhibitors have been
published. This settles the rumor Of an
indefinite postponement. The United
States cannot make any arrangements
to participate until Congress meets, as
there Is no authority for appointing
commissioners, nor any appropriation
out of which to defray the necessary
expenses. This should be provided for
by Congress, as 1t would be great folly
not to strengthen the profound impress
sion made by American industry at the
Centennial Exhibition,

ardly and narrow, cannot long
control great republic like ours.
The broader-the MISUNDERSTANDING
ship will inevitably influence the policy
Of the country. New Englandism must
give way to Nationalism. Let the North
ern people kick all such miserable and
pestiferous demagogues and agitators
as Jim Blaine out Of public life; cuI-
tivate q broader and more national
patriotism, and they will have nothing
to fear from Southern ideas or Southern

TO THE SUMMER TOURIST,

Those Of our citizens who are fortunate enough
to lie able to seek respite from the labors OF the
business season just closed, and to reouperate
their energies at some OF the many delightful
summer resorts to be found IN the Northern
States and Canada, will be glad to learn that the
old favorite Jackson route, under q vigorous and
efficient management. has become one of the
very best travelling thoroug hfares in the country
Hundreds OF thousands of dollars have been
expended, as we are credibly informed, during
the past twelve months for new iron and steel
rails, new cross-ties and new bridges, and to. day
it may be safely eaid that no road south Of the
Ohio river surpasses the great Jackson route in
smoothness and perfect safety. We have had
occasion, during he past few weeks, to travel
quite extensively over that road, and we can thus
from actual experience, bear witness to its ex-
cellence in every particular which goes to consti-
tute good road.

The Oregon investigation has devel-
oped nothing tending In the least to
connect Senator Grover with corruption
in his election as senator from that
State. "There seems to have been an
impression" says an exchange, "pre-
vailing among members Of the Legisla-
ture that there should be money In the
senatorship somewhere, and some dis
position was shown to test each others
virtue, but no sales were actually made,
so far as these witnesses know"

The most prominent candidates for
the Brazilian mission are, the New York
Tribune thinks, Judge Levisee, Of this
State, and Attorney General Harris, of
Mississippi. both n@4ve white Repub-
licans. The office, the Tribune asserts,
has been generally Thought to ha'nno
s0- pho eoueh, bat It argues against CIV
ing it to a Southern man, on the ground
that it ought to be given to man from
some manufacturing State, who can aid
In the introduction of American goods
into Brazil.

The Northern and Western papers
all seem to regard the Mexican border
question as an extremely dangerous
one, from which there is scarcely any
other escape than war.
As the Chicago Times says:
It is much more serious than is generally
considered. Both Gen. Ord and the Mexican
commander Trevino are under orders which,
WITHOUT supplementary ones revolving or
modifying the former en M lead to collision tbns
apology from one of the two nations must
come, or war. p
Nevertheless, it does not think that
the Presidents order to Gen. Ord to pur-
sue and punish Mexican cattle thieves
ought to be modified in the least. The
order has already brought good, since a
large force has been sent by the Next
can government to the border for the
first time to put an end to the cattle
thieving, a force SO large that it will
certainly succeed in this, If Gen. Trevino
Is In earnest.
II such be the case there will be no
necessity Of teaching Mexico to respect
the right OF foreigners, as the English
Minister, Mr.. Lettsom, wrote to our
own Envoy, Mr.. Forsyth, that he
was hopeless of any hearing for
the claims and Of any security for the
rights OF foreigners in Mexico until the
country should be soundly disciplined
into decency and good behavior, either
by Great Britain or by the United
States.
The Presidents orders will probably
convince the Mexican authorities that
Texas cattle thieying must stop, since If
it does not, it must most certainly be
followed by the crossing of the Rio
Grande, collision and then a war.

started with green hands. The TRAINS
in almost every case came in behlnd
time on the Germantown and Chestnut
Hill branch. A train which should
have left the Hill at 5:45 did not leave
until 6:20, owing to the inability OF the
new engineer to get an engine on turn
table. During yesterday the Brother
hood men succeeded in coaXing num-
Der OF the new hands to leave their en-
gines and join the Order. The managers
Of the Company here claim that they
have plenty of applications for the va
cant engines, and can replace men in
moment.
The Brotherhood, on the other hand,
are confident OF their success. and are
determined to stick it out, They are
keeping very quiet, and no trouble is
anticipated. There was very little
freight moved yesterday, and 1t is
thought the Company Will be put to
considerable trouble to-day to run the
regular passenger trains, as the Broth

Mrs. "StonewalP Jackson is a hand
some little woman, looking still very
young. Gen. jackson left mis- wife and
child in very moderate circumstances.
He invested all that he had In the bonds
of the Confederacy, which are Of course
worthless. A neat home in Lexington
was nearly all that was left. A small
amount OF money in bonds and this
house comprise Mrs. Jackson's wealth
at present. Her income Is sufficient Tor
the support OF herself and daughter.
She is now boarding at school in Char
Iotte for the purpose OF educating this
daughter. She has uniformly dis
couraged any movement that looked tr-
ward the raising of money by public
subscription for her use. Hence propu-
sition made last spring that the various
memorial societies OF the South should
receive contributions on Memorial Da y
lOr the family OF Stonewall jackson,
realized only few, hundred dollars.
Mrs. Jackson has determined to make
her home in Charlotte, near which. city
her father lives. She is now trying to 80
arrange her slender resources that she
can build and furnish home for herself
and daughter. She much prefers to sui :
ply whatever deficiency there may be in
her means by her own exertions.

terday.
At the Coroners inquest, Hon. Joseph
Pulitzer was the first witness examined.
de testified that ON the night OF the fire
ne retired to his room on the fifth flor
at midnight. Al 1880 he was awakened
by cries Of tire from the street; he heard
the shrieks OF women, and went into the
hall. The gas had been turned down,
and there was great deal of smoke.
He passed down to the. fourth floor;
corted them to the parlOr floor,
where he met another lady. At
this time the smoke was dense,
and it was pitch dark. When he
took the ladies to the parlor there were
many ladies shrieking in the building.
Met Mr.. Darling, one OF the hotel pro-
prietors, who was assuring the ladies
that there was no danger, it was all
smoke, and they could 60 back to their
ROOMS. My room was four rooms from
the elevator. AS Invent to bed passed
through the hotel office, where every
thing was quiet. l never heard any
alarm while was in She house, save
