J. Release Of Tom Anderson.

NEW ORLEANS. April 1.-The
Supreme Court made the following
order in the Anderson case: sit is
ordered and decreed that rehear-
ing is refused, and that our judg
ment stand undisturbed."
Mr.. Castellanos, one of Anderson's
counsel, Immediately went with
certified copy of the decree before
Judge Whitaker, who at once Or
dered a release for Anderson from
the parish prison. About 1880 Gen.
Anderson was released.
NEW ORLEANS, April 1.-The
Supreme Court room was filled this
morning by attorneys, politicians,
etc, to hear the decision upon ap-
plication of the attorney general in
the case of the State VS.. Thomas G..
Anderson. The Court refused the
rehearing asked for and in his de-
cision announcing refusal the Chief
Justice pointed out clearly and dis
tinctly what the Court did decide
in its first opinion, and also review
ed and refuted the points raised by
the Attorney General in his brief
filed as the basis of his application
for a rehearing. The Court says
that in its Hrst decision. it was not
decided whether the consolidated
statement of returns for the parish
of Vernon is public record or not,
as it was not necessary to decide
that point. What the Court did de-
eide is, that the record offered in
evidence as the record forged by
prisoner is not a public record with
which information prisoner is charg-
ed with having forged. It does not
possess the requirements of such a
record and does not conform to the
statute. 1t has not the certificate of
the clerk of court, necessary re
quirement in order to make it such a
record as is charged that prisoner
forged. Immediately after reading
of the decree Mr.. Castellanos, coun-
sci for Anderson, appeared before
the Superior Criminal Court and
filed a copy of the original decree of
the Supreme Court, which was by
Judge Whitaker ordered to be filed
and spread upon the minutes and
instructed the clerk to make out a
releaae for Anderson. At a quarter
to one the release reached the par.
ish prison when Anderson was set
at liberty. He left the prison in
company of two friends.

The support of the dogs amounted
to 100000 900. Quite a showing,

UNLOAD THE FAITHLESS.-The
Radical politicians of this State
have been getting quite bold of late,
owing to the wishy- washy policy
pursued by the Democratic mem
bers of cur Legislature, and seem to
think that there will be some chance
for them to get into Office again at
the next election. But they need
not lay any such flattering junction
to their souls. The victory gained
over the cohorts of Radicalism in
1876 was won after a hard-fought
struggle, in which many sacrifices
had to be made, and we do not be
lieve our people intend to let the
fruits CT that victory slip from their
grasp yet awhile. When the cam
paign opens the people of Louisiana
will be found solid against the enc
my, no matter in what form it may
present itself. 1t is true, some OF
the men elected to Office by the
Democratic. Conservative party have
been weighed and found wanting,
but this is no reason why we should
become lukewarm and again give
the State over to the robbers and
thieves who have plundered us SO
mercilessly in the past. Instead Of
this, throw those who have been
unfaithful overheard and elect new
men, Morehouse Clarion.

In Republics political parties
rise and fall and disappear
sometimes in short, and again at
longer intervals. The old Dem
ocratic party of this nation
seems to be an exception to this
rule, and we think it may be &C
counted for not only in the fact
that its principles commend
themselves to the "sober second
thought of the people," but that
it has always been an aggressive
party, and has never used any
skim-milk policy.
We are led into these re1ec-
tons because we think we per-
ceive an evident tendency within
the party in this State, to be all
things to all men, and to have
no sharp, well-defned aggres-
sive policy. The spirit of So
called Conservatism, in our opin-
ion, will wreck the old party in
this State, unless it meets sud-
den check before it becomes too
powerful to be controlled by the
party proper.
This is no time, nor are we in
q condition to compromise with,
or take into close affiliasion, any
of the men high or low, who have
been assisting heretofore in wag-
ing war against the best inter
ests Of our people. The Democ-
racy have won the fight; they
must reap the fruits of victory,
and shape future campaigns in
such a way as to secure their
continued enjoyment.
We are no extremist, but we
have no patience with mongrel
parties held together by the CO.
hesive power of public plumber
We want to see the Democratic
flag floating everywhere. We

meath its folds as long as it has
inscribed on it the time-honoreo
principles ofthe Democratic par
ty; and we hope the party will
never again form entangling al
linces that will not only bring
defeat, but disgrace as we'll.
| With a new Constitution, and
the destinies of our State in thu
hands of the Democratic party
we will have a long career o
peace and prosperity before us

matters are so serious that the Savannah

courage or the manliness to array himself
under their banner"

There is report from Delaware that q
faction of the democratic party in that State
are planning to defeat Senator Bayard's re-
election. The wish Of certain Of the baser
sort of democrats is probably father to this
silly thought. Mr.. Bayards term does not
expire until 1881; his successor will be
chosen two years from now, and the people
of Delaware will not be likely to disgrace
themselves by falling to re-elect him.
The democratic party has now a number
of excellent, influential and conspicuously
able men in the Senate. Thurman, Lamar,
Randolph, Gordon, Herman, Hill, Garland
all these are men whose service in the Sen
ate is valuable to the country; but it is not
belittling the others to place Senator Bayard
at the head Of the list. He has won the
respect of friends and opponents by the
courage with which he has always and in
the face Of all opposition defended what he
thought were the measures most important
for the interests of the whole country; he is
a statesman of sound and firmly fixed prin-
ciples, without fear and without reproach,
and the democrats of his State have reason
to be proud of his great influence and of the
important service he, in their name, per-
forms for the country.

we expect very soon to give full informa-
ton about the cavity and the dark doings
therein.
It is comforting to know that nothing
worse than a few demoralized rocks are at
the bottom-or the head-of the Bald
Mountain disturbances. The antics of ire
sponsible mountains elsewhere have led to
results for which no explanation or apology
could atone. Some Of them have been as
fiery as greenback advocates, throwing
stones around without the sliehtest thought
Of their effect upon tho landscape, and
sprinkling ashes like cart belonging to
the Street Cleaning Bureau. This sort of
thing may be winked at in besotted Europe,
or the Louisiana-like republics of Central
and south America, and it might even be
OF sanitary benefit to some localities
further North, but it is uncalled for in
respectable State like North Carolina,
where the worst sinners are merely chicken
thieves and illicit distillers A cave is
more in accordance with the spirit of our
institutions. Insurance companies have
''caved in )" so have many savings banks,
railway stocks, political pledges and per-
sonal regulations, and any mountain which
has grown old enough to be bald headed is
not to be blamed for wanting to be in the
fashion, even if it destroys itself in doing so.

The physicians Of the Board Of Health
arc now engaged in making their summer
visitation among the tenement houses of
the city for the purpose of discovering and
relieving cases of sickness, especially
among children. A HERALD reporter yes
terday accompanied one of these doctors
through district which is fair specimen
of all, and the sad story Of the suffcrings
Witnessed will be found elsewhere. Few
persons who are in good circumstances
know how much the children in crowded
tenement houses are compelled to endure
during the hot weather 1t is nothing un-
usual to find family of eight or ten per-
sons living in one or two rooms, in which the
washing cooking sleeping and eating, when
food can be procured, are done, and the at
mosphcre OF which is rendered more foul by
the surrounding filth and the want of ven
tilation. No wonder that little ones are
found in almost every room in such houses
suffering with fevcrs, diphtheria, cholera
iniantum and similar diseases. The poison
natural to such habitations is aided in its
deadly work by uncleaned streets, rotting
garbage and the cheap, unripe fruit peddled
at the corner stands. One of the chief ad-
vantagcs anticipated from rapid transit is
the thinning out of these wretched tene-
mcnt house districts and the transfer Of
their residents to the healthful air of the
upper part of the island. The account of
the scenes witnessed in days visit to these
pest holes should incite liberal aid to the
seaside homes and excursions designed for
the relief of sick and destitute children.

which seeks to bestow on these little suf-
ferers the paramount blessing of health
