THE NEIT PRINTING Ii ".

We had hoped that in thril final action, our
Legislators would approach something Ike
complete and satisfactory, If not perfect
printing law but our hope was vain, for, in
our humble Judgment, it falls far short Of
perfection. The idea of Judicial advertising
is. or should be, based upon the theory that
the parties interested-the plaintiffs and de
PENDANTS, heirs or successors, ctc.-are TO be
benefited by the act of advertising, by giving
the advertisement n wide and sure circulation
among persons who will probably purchase
the property, or by means of which the
actions of administrators. executors, etc. may
be made known to parties interested IN success
sions but this law seems TO be- based upon the
theory that il IS done as much, if not more,
,e benefit local papers than anything else, by
having notices posted in three places in the
parishes where there are no papers published ,
which is no advertising at all, for these notices
are never read by the reading public at all
and oftcner miss the observation Of parties

TO THE SUMMER TOURIST.

Those Of our citizens who are fortunate enough
to be able to seek respite from the lsbors of the
business season just closed. and to recuperate
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 a vigorous and
efficient management, has become one of the
very best travelling thoroughfarss 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 said that no road south of the
Ohio river surpasses the great Jackson route in
smoothness and perfect safety. We have had
occasion, during The past few weeks, to travel
quite extensively over that road, and we can thus,
from actual experience, beat witness to its ex-
cellence in every particular which goes to consti-
tute good road.

rs IT A MATTER OF INSIGNIFICANCE?

The Picayune, Of yesterday morning,
referring to the information against
Wells. Anderson stalls, presents certain
abstract considerations which must
hereafter become practical. Among
these it enumerates the following:
"The actual infliction of punishment
upon the malefactors concerned is a
matter Of comparative insignificance,
since the crime consummated by them
can never be repeated. The relief Of the
criminals lies with the Governor,
through the exercise Of the pardoning
power vested in him."
The infliction Of punishment on NAL
efactors can never be a matter Of insig-
niflcance, comparative or positive, in a
law-respecting State and government.
That the crime can never be repeated is
not so clear as fact and Is certainly
not satisfactory as a reason why crime
should not be punished. And why may
not fraud, perjury and forgery be re-
peated, and what stronger encourage
ment of their repetition can there
be than their impunity or pardon
Have not these frauds been frequent in
the past, and have not the knowledge
and experience of them and all legis-
lative and political provisions proved
unavailing to prevent their repetition !?
Why then does the Picayu1,e declare so
dogmatically the impossibility Of their
being repeated so long as the constant
tendency Of corrupt and unprincipled
and felonious men to perpetrate fraud
and forgery exists I? What security
is there against the commission of such
crimes in the future Is 1t not the OBJ
ject and the vindication or all laws

vent others from repeating the same or

vent others from repeating the same OF
like offences?
'Shall I be hung for stealinga worth
less horse?"' exclaimed convict in az
English court, as the judge was about te
pronounce sentence upon him.
"No," exclaimed the judge, sit is te
prevent horses from being stolen"
Shall we ever be able to prevent the
repetition Of election frauds, periuries
and forgeries If we go on pardoning
them? Are these crimes to be excused
when they involve the most heinous OF
ali wrongs toward the State and people,
and to be pursued and punished only
when they involve wrongs to individ-
uals, or peeuniary and material dam
age? The Picayune makes common
mistake, and bases upon 1t the sug-
gestion that Gov. Nichols should or
will pardon the individuals convicted
OF their crimes, to wit that these are
political offenses which, by some hy-
pothetical and secret agreement made
between unauthorized persons, were to
be condoned.
This is grave error. The crimes of
Wells, Anderson, Casanave and Kenner
were not political offenses. Their
offenses were felonies, under the COM
mon and statute law, and there exists
no power or authority to condone them
in any individuals. The petit jury may
find them not guilty, or the Governor
may pardon them with the approval of
the Senate; but it would DO manifestly
indelicate and an intrusion into the au-
thority and conscience Of both these
authorities for public journal or any
individual to sit in judgment upon them
and suggest that they fail to do their
duty.
It would indeed be an offense to the
dignity Of the Governor and an insult
to the court and jury to suggest or
advocate the pardon of an individual
whilst the proper tribunal is engaged in
the investigation Of his case.
Peace, order and justice can never be
restored to this community save by a
general abstention on the part of all
and politicians from inter-
ference with the due process of the
law and a rigid performance of their
duty on the part Of all those to whom
the administration Of justice has been
entrusted.

Jim Blaine opposes the acquisition of
any portion of Mexico lest it should
increase the already too great power Of
the South but he wants two or three
more Northern States to be made out
of Canada, which he says is just wait

of satisfying Jeems what "tarnal T"
fool he can make OF himself, we would
like to see the question submitted to the
people of Canada. We hardly think
they would agree with him.

A dispatch to the Tribune attributes
to Gen. Sherman the following interest
ing political prediction:
He is said to have remarked that it was necss-
sary after the rebellion that the greatest soldier
OF the war should become President; it was in
accordance with the philosophy OF history that a
person chiefly known as civilian, who. however,
had an honorable position in the Union army
should be the Lext President; and the President
who takes his seat in 1881 will be man who
fought upon the Confederate side, who was
young enough to see that he was in error and
has acknowledged it.
