and trust that the Legislature will act
promptly In the matter. The police
men have hard life OF 1t; they are
working for small wages, and they have
done their whole duty. The pay they
get Is very small, and when they have
TO take that In scrip which they are
forced to sell at q horrible sacrifice, the
case demands the attention OF the
authorities. We see no reason why the
scrip OF the policemen should not be
made receivable, as our correspondent
suggests, for licenses. The brokers get
the benefit OF the fearful discount the
policemen have to stand, and in the end
the city has to pay dollar for dollar.
The wages Of the police should be put
upon cash basis at once.

One Of the gravest evils that has
afflicted this city has been the creation
Of corporations with exclusive p-ivi-
leges. The Waterworks bill, which the
House has passed, is Objectionable in
this respect IL not in others. If the
company proposed to be created by this
bill shall have the capital necessary to
fully supply the city with water, its
capital will create for it monopoly
until the city so grows in population
and wealth that there will be 80 much
room for competition that another COM
pany will risk an equal amount Of
capital In competing enterprise. The
monopoly should not extend beyond
that period, and no grant OF exclusive
privileges by the Legislature is required
to extend it to that time.

yet they nre burthensome 70 tho tas

We arc not ignorant OF tho fact that

Tho State and city have not suffered
from tho abstract fact, that our legisla-
lures and administrations during tho
past eight years were composed of cor
rupt men nor will their prosperity be re-
vived by the fact that its present admin
istration and Legislature are composed
OF honest men. Il was the monstrous and
destructive institutions which corrupt

Its mission and duties which we

The mortality among the Radical

The mortality among the Radical
papers OF Louisiana, since the election,
has been over forty per cent, leaving
Just bakers dozen of these with US. oil
much reduced in size and tone, linger-
Ing on in the form Of half sheet and
lavishing the expression governor" on
both Nichols and Packard, or, indeed,
anybody who they believe will lend
them helping hand. Of these, not
more than half a dozen are Of any pro-
nounced Radicalism, the others having
become extremely conservative since
the change in our affairs-ready, over.
ready to flop to the winning side.
There was day when there was no
parish that did not boast its Radical or
official paper, the owner Of which was
generally Representative from the par
ish, Parish Judge, Sheriff, or some other
official who was making a handsome
fortune on the official printing in his
paper. That day is long since passed.
We do hope, however, that new paper
of the true spirit and politics, will
spring, like the phoenix, from the ashes
OF each OF these papers, and that it will
never be said that Democratic rule had
d disastrous and demoralizing effect on
the press Of Louisiana, that have done
SO much To accomplish the change in
our government.
This new era, however, has not yet
commenced. A dozen papers have
failed. and only two or three sprang
into life to take their places. This will
never do; with the papers of neighbor-
ing States in flourishing conditions it
will be q reflection indeed on Louisiana
patriotism and intelligence to have it
known as ''the graveyard OF news
papers. 4

THE WEBER MURDER IN The
SENATE

A discussion arose In the Senate yes
terday. on resolution offered by Sena-
ator Breaux, relative to the assassina-
ton Of Weber, in West Feliciana,
which made d very vivid impression on
the mind OF oil persons present.
The resolution of Mr.. Breaux was i'll
timed, and not well considered. 1t very
clearly intimated II doubt as to the
promptness and earnestness OF Coy.
Nichols In taking tho proper steps to
have arrested and prosecuted the par
ties implicated In this homicide. When,
Ia truth. the evidence was before every
member of the Senate, that immediate
ly, on receipt of tho information by tele-
graph. Gov. Nichols had telegraphed
to the District Attorney and the police
officials Of the parish to proceed with
the utmost vigor and promptitude In
the examination OF the facts, the arrest
and committal of the parties: and, at
the same time, had issued his procla-
nation, Offering $4,000 reward for the
detection and arrest of the guilty par
ties.
With such prompt action on the part
OF the Governor what more could be ex-
pected and demanded Of him. To call
on him therefore to do what he had
already done was manifestly improper
aad unbecoming In the Legislature. So
1t was treated by the Senators who spoke
on the subject, and to whose inquiry
what more could be done by the Cover
nor, Senator Breaux failed to make
answer. So the Senate adopted unani-
mously resolution offered as substi-
tute by Senator White, of New Orleans,
approving and commencing the action
Of Gov. Nichols, and pledging the aid
and cooperation Of the Senate In all
measures adopted by him to bring to
punishment the perpetrators of the
alleged murder.
Mr.. Wheeler, Of Morehouse, q Re-
publican Senator, took occasion to
condemn, in strong terms, the use Of the
term "ex-Republican," as applied to
the man whose homicide was referred
to. Mr.. Wheeler stated that he was Re-
publican, but he entirely disapproved
Of the too common habit Of introducing
partisan names in acts and resolutions Of
the Legislature. He regarded all such
designations in reference to citizens as
opposed to the spirit of our institutions
and laws. He was supporter Of Gov
ernor Nichols because he was pledged
to ignore all such distinctions, and to
treat all citizens alike without regard
to race, color or partisan relations. He
had found Governor Nichols faithful
and true to all his pledges. and he
would cheerfully vote for the substitute
with the omission OF the word sex
Republican"
The substitute, with this change, was
then adopted unanimously.
