OF no man In the State who has displayed
more wonderful energy and brain toward
its triumph ever since we have known him In
politics than Major Burke. In 1876 during
that ever-memorable campaign, we were In re-
ceipt Of his kilograms daily, and when we had
occasion to go to New Orleans with crowds OF
witnesses summoned before the Returning
Board and the congressional committees by
day end by night that man was at his post,
directing the lions share OF the work OF the
Democratic committee. He has never been
charged with any dishonest act that we know
or. His opponents say of him that he is
an astute politician. Aye, so he is one;
and his ability has been felt by the
enemies Of our people. The great trouble
was that In past years we had too many
barnacles in charge of our politics, and every
body knows what costly luxury they We're.
Between one OF the latter class and politi-
clan as they are termed-of brain and energy,
we'll take the politician every time. We are
sick OF the cry OF the envious demagogues
who are constantly asking that good men,
fresh from the people, be placed at the head Of
affairs. We have many sad examples in our
minds eye of very complete failures among
these pure and unaduIterated newly fedged
politicians. We begin to think that every
man is fitted for certain station, and that
certain stations are fitted for certain men. A
deviation from this rule produces those
grand failures that we all know or have

THE STATE TREASURER.
TBaton Rouge Capitolian.l

In the last number OF the Iberville South
we notice paragraph condemnatory OF the
Convention, with regard to its action in the
matter of the State Treasurer. As we We're
one of those who voted both in the caucus and
In the Convention to retain this official until
j the next general election, We deem 1t oppor-
tune to give our readers and the editor OF the
South our reasons for so doing.
The parish officials elected to serve for two
years In 1873, are retained until April 1, 1850,
and will lose but eight months OF their term.
The State officials elected for four years Will
lose but one year OF their time, whereas the
State Treasurer, the only State official elected
III 1878, for four years, too. would have been
deprived of three years of his time. To have
dismissed him in January would have been an
injustice as compared to the others. Ihere
We're then but two other alternatives. These
We're: To order special election in 1882 Tor the
Sole object of electing Treasurer, an officer
who will receive hereafter q salary Of only
$1,000 per annum-else to do exactly what
was done-to retain him until the first general
election, which takes place In April. 1884.
BY this action we don't think that any
great wrong has been perpetrated upon any
cody. Therefore, we consider that it was
economy not to provide for special election
u 1882 or 1885, and that 1t was but an act OF
Justice toward an official against whom there
exists no complaint, in so far as the perform
ance OF his duties are concerned.
We are free to confess that we were very
much disposed to do him no Injustice. As a
supporter OF the Democratic party we know

Collecting state Debts by Federal Au'
thNritY. -------------
[St. Louis Republican. 9th inst.l


The proposed attempt Of Louisiana bond
holders to bring the recent adjustment Of the
debt Of that State to q judicial test will be
watched with some interest, though there Is
little ground for believing that the settlement
can be overthrown. 1t Seems that this is the
second time the State has assumed to settle
its debt without the consent OF It's creditors,
and the present adjustment overthrows that
of 1874. Both were arbitrary, the wishes Of
the creditors never having been taken into
account; but the New York creditors take
the view that the settlement of 1874 was
contract, and the settlement Of 1879 is a law
and therefore prohibited BY the United States
constitution. But this view Of the case Is
more ingenious than forcible. No legal de-
vice has ever been invented that would make
the Federal power collector of debts due
from State So far as debts are concerned
the States are practically, If not theoreti-
cally, sovereign; they have right to
contract them to any any amount they see
fit, and, then, they may pay them or not, as
they feel inclined to. The Federal gov
eminent has no authority either to
contract, Or to force it to pay its
obligations; and 1t ought not to have such
authority. Reputation may be dishonorabie
and never defensble, but ii a Federal Judge
In New York had power to give judgments
and issue executions against the States OF
Louisiana and Minnesota in behalf of an in
dividual creditor living in New York or Lon
don, 1t would not be long before the States
were completely provinclalized and deprived
Of all virility. II persons will loan money to
States Of doubtful credit, they must take the
chances OF persuading the States to pay
without compulsion.

Sixteen Years Ago.

Just sixteen years ago yesterday,
many of our citizens will remember
that eventful day-Old John Morgan
and his rebel band of raiding, robbing,
thieving, plundering cut-throats took
possession of our quiet hamlet. They
numbered about $500 men and came
galloping into town, yelling, shouting
and firing their guns, like so many de-
mons Of Pandemonium. They did
just as the pleased, and what they
pleased while here. Plundered stores,
destroyed goods, stole horses, robbed
everybody they came across Of what
money and valuables they had and did
everything else almost that was low
lived and villainous. A man-Robert
McDougal by name, a worthy school
teacher, who had shown them how to
ford the river at Jasper, was put into
skiff, at lower end of town, showed
out in the Scioto, and when he had ar
rived about the middle of the stream
they fired upon him and completely
rlddled his body with bullets. They
burned an eighteen thousand dollar
bridge between here and Waverly, and
did other deeds of diabolical devilment
too tedious to mention.
Now, every one of these rebel cut
throats and robbers, were Democrats.
There wasn't single Republican in
the whole red-handed, black-hearted
band-not one. Every devil of them
was Democrat; and just why Demo-
Gratis, who live here now, and know
all about these things; know how they
plundered, and robbed, and murdered,
unofending people; how they applied
their torches of fire; how they vilifed,
abused, and mal-treated you and your
neighbors; how they stigmatized and
used epithets of vile opprobrium to
your wives and daughters; how the
reeking foul-mouthed hyenas tramp
led under foot every law of right,
justice and decency; just how, we re-
peat, that any Democrat who lives in
this section Of the country, knowing
these things, and can still remain a
Democrat is something we can not
understand.
The people of the South have, to-
day, the very same feelings, motives
and principles they fought for. They
are as much and as thorough rebels
to-day as they ever were. Talk about
Cancellation! You might as well
preach religion to a grindstone, as
Cancellation to rebel. They won't
be conciliated, and, what is more, they
shouldn't be. Instead, rather, they
should have been disfranchised and
their leaders hung higher than Haman,
or sent to Alaska to cool off their
Southern blood. Any one guilty of
rebelling against the government,
should not be allowed the rights and
privileges they are enjoying. Some
thing will have to be done to frustrate
the plans of the leaders of the South,
or in less than ten years there will be
another rebellion, ten times bloodier
than the one that the country expe-
rienced from 81 to '65 But concilia-
ton will not do it. Cancellation for
sooth!

No lore StaIMartS.

The use of the word 'stalwart" as
applied to the Republicans, is now
confined exclusively to the Confedro-
Democrats, who would gladly make
people believe that we are not all Stall
warts now, but that there still remain
in the Republican ranks considera-
BILE number whose eyes have not been
opened by the exploits of the Confed-
crate Congress, and the open threats
and declarations of Confedro-Demo-
cratic leaders. Nothing more strik-
ingly illustrates the entire closing up
of the Republican ranks, than the fact
that the use of this word is thus linn
tied. At the time of the dispute in
the Republican party, as to the proper
course to be adopted toward the South,
the word was used constantly in Re-
publican newspapers which took the
Administration view of the question,
and it is in these newspapers that it
had it's origin. But that quarrel has
been settled. The Confedro-Democ-
racy with it's retinue of staggering
Brigadiers, fully demonstrated to lib
eral Republicans that they were alb
surdly in the wrong, in supposing that
secession and disunion was stamped
out, and they went over in Mass to
that side of their house against which
they had been so recently ranged,
leaving the word ''stalwart" and a lot
of other rubbish to fall into the hands
Of the common enemy, who is now
desperately trying to turn it to some
account When we get split up again
and want it, Messrs. Confederates, we
will ask you for it. Just at present it
would be entirely superhuous, because
we all rally under one big Republican
flag, and there is not a single ism"
banner in all the army. Just wait
until we march up to the polls next
fall and see if you can find one.

TntrustEOrthy Leaders.

The people of the Northern States
can not trust the Northern Democrat
ic leaders, because they are. not free
men. If we look back through all
the history Of the Democratic party
we find that it's men who held the
place of leaders Of the party in the
Northern States have been merely fol-
lowers Of imperious Southern masters.
So degrading is this service that they
did not regard the citizens of the
North as having equal rights with
those of the South. They could not
conceive that a Northern man was
the political equal of a STAKEHOLDER.
They resolved State rights and State
sovereignty, but they meant Southern
States. The idea that a Northern
State had rights was to them rebellion.
They meekly accepted the rule that
allegiance to slavery went before al
legiance to the Constitution as quail
ifcation for place in the Government.
They regarded the use of the United
States army in carrying off fugitive
slaves from the Northern States, with
out trial, as in the natural order
There were cruel prosecutions of Nor
thern citizens under pretense of hav-
ing aided slaves to fly, in which juries
were packed by United States Mar
shals to convict, and United States
Judges were under the same supreme
allegiance to slavery, and whenever a
State court attempted to intervene
for their protection these Democratic
leaders howled that it was treason.
The instance has not been known
when a Democrat justified Northern
State court in any intervention to
protect a citizen against arbitrary acts
| by Democratic administration. In
that case State rights became treason.
When secession began, every Nor
thern Democratic leader-that is, eve
ry one in any representative trust
recognized that he owed to the South
ern leaders an allegiance above that
to the Constitution. They promptly
assented to the claim of the State
right of secession. For their declara-
ton that the Constitution gave no
power to prevent State secession was
the same as declaration Of a consti-
tutional right of secession. All these
Northern Democrats servilely follow
ed the Southern lords in breaking up
the Government. True, they avoided
the risk of joining them in arms, but
they did much more for the South by
treacherously using their representa-
tive trusts to oppose every measure
for the defense of the Nation, and by
incessant seditious efforts to divide
the people of the North.
If we grant that the Government
of the United States had the consti-
tutional right and duty to prevent
State secession by force of arms, ther
to call the whole course of these
Northern Democratic leaders treason
! able is no strong use of words; it is /;
. plain and undeniable statement. Ii

Both Sides Fought by Democrats.

Isn't it g little curious that the late
war was fought entirely by the Dem
ocrats, on both sides? Steedman claims
that the Democrats are entitled to the
credit for whipping the rebels and put
ting down the rebellion, while we all
know that every soldier in the rebel
army was Democrat. Strange there
was nothing in this country at that
time but Democrats. But how did it
come that the rebels were forced to
surrender, after the Northern Democ-
racy had declared the war a failure?-
