TIE SUPREME COURT DECISION.

Private letters received from New
Orleans, evince the deepest dissatis-
faction at the recent decision Of the
Supreme Court, which sets aside the
Constitutional limitation and author
ICES the levy of an additional tax Of
five mills to pay interest and princi-
pal on Premium Bonds, over and
above the ten mills stipulated by the
Constitution.
Ifsuch decision can hold, tits USE
less to have Constitutional limitations
or Constitutions. As q Supreme Court
created under its provisions assumes
the power to set aside the organic law
of the State.
Thus can the people Of a State OF
municipality be overburthened with
taxation at the simple decision of one
man.
We won't blame the citizens of New
Orleans if they don't submit to this
outrageous exactiOn. ...

ENDORSING THE FRAUDULENT
DECISION.

In the nomination of Garfield the
Republican party have done more
than to overlook the dishonest trans
actions with which his name is inter-
woven, namely the Credit Mobelier
and the De Golyer pavement swim
dlers, but they have presented to the
American people as their candidate
man who stood prominently for the
infamous decision by which Samuel J.
Tilden, who had received 250,OOO
votes more than Hayes, was declared
defeated for the presidency by ONE
ELECTORAL VOTE.
To vote for Garfield is to sustain
him in his count of Louisiana and
Florida for Hayes, and to sanctify the
returns declared byJ. Madison Wells,
Tom Anderson and the otherunblush
| ing villains of his returning board.
VIII the American people record
themselves Oil the pages of history as
having elected man guilty of con-
summating this iniquity upon popular
suffrage which has affixed upon the
National escutcheon the darkest
stain that could possibly be spread
upon it.
Centuries will succeed one another,
| but future generations will in turn
read of the shameful transaction which
| gave their ancestors president who
had been defeated at the polls.
A bold usurpation, revolution by
the force of arms, led by ambitious
men would not have cast dishonor
upon the Republic, but the votes Of
eight men selected by Congress and
sworn to respect the popular will and
tho honor of the Nation, given against
public evidence and stern facts, will
appear as the most glaring act ofper-
ljury and fraud ever perpetrated.
Eyeryman who votes for Garfield.
will aid in proclaiming as correct
the count of Louisiana's vote in 1876
rendered by Mad. Wells returning
;. board. He can leave that sad record
to his children, that in 1880, he ne
dorsed at the polls, Garfield, one o.
the periurcd members of the Electoral
Commission.
! His Credit Mobilier and De Golyel
pavement swindles, are but crosses
of honor as compared to the infamou
tvote he gave against the people o1
Louisiana and Florida and the good
name of the Republic.
! The question is simply whether thu
perpetrators of the great crime agains
popular sovereignty will be sustained
by the people, OF whether the seal Of
lpublic condemnation will he affixed
them just as it has already been done
upon Madison Wells and Tom An
derson.

ference of Federal bayonets in our
local affairs, that our people were op-
pressed and robbed. And that 0 pre-
MUM was offered to those who would
sacrifice honor and principle for money
and power?
Despite Universal Suffrage, since
the bayonet has been withdrawn, is
there not steady improvementgoi
on in our internal affairs; and is not
the currentof public sentiment rolling
against those who dare do wrong?
The day is at hand when a govern
ment as perfect as it is in the power
of man to create will he established
in this country.
Let wealth and education, combine
to furnish schools and workshops to
the children of the poorer classes, SO
that the majority may be rendered
more intelligent and Industrious
That is by far a better, more righte-
Gus, and more enlightened remedy
than to deprive them of the ballot.
Let us labor to maintain the supre-
macy of Democratic principles, which
are based upon those natural rights
| that man acquires at the cradle to END
only at the grave.
In despotic Russia, the spirit Of the
age that demands Universal Suffrage
is bringing thousands of men to tho
axe of the executioncer and the frigij
deserts of Siberia.
Will free America attempt tomarcl
back towards a government in th'
hands of the few? To do this, is tt
keep open an unceasing conflict be-
tween the several classes Of society.
1t would be unwise, selfish and un
just to create such an order of things
In fact, it would not be long, befor'
the masses groaning under the inso
lent rule of the privileged classe
would say with Patrick Henry: "Giv'
us Liberty or give US Death"

An exchange truthfully remarks :
"When a farmer picks up a home
paper and sees every reliable business
firm represented in it's columns by
good healthy advertisements, he says
to himself at once, 'that is a business
place; the merchants are energetic,
wide awake and up to the times, they
are trying to build up their town and
enhance the interests of the surround
ing country. They deserve a little
patronage and they shall have mine

SHOWS FOR ITSELF.

The Claiborne Guardian gets off the
following good hit at the summer liars:
A mare near Moberby, No., is ell
titled to the blue ribbon if there is any
particular distinction in bringing three
colts into the world at a birth. One
of these colts was a mule, the other
two horse colts. 1t is true that the
mule and one of the horse colts are
dead, but the mare and other colt arc
alive to show for themselves. The
story and the proof remind us of an
anecdote that we have heard our es-
teemed friend Judge R.C. Drew tell
with much gusto. One Bill Wamble
told that he had horse that had
frequently climbed a tree. His offer
to swear to the fact was not consid-
cred sufficient, when to clinch the
matter he said: "Well, gents, if you
don't believe me, right out there in
my lot is the tree to show for itself"

The Richland Beacon hits the nail
on the head in giving expression to
the following sentiment: Showing

The Shreveport Standard relates this
tale Of wife's revenge: Yesterday
evening, about 8 o'clock, serious rem
counter occurred between two coloretf
matrons, in Aonse on the alley, between
Texas and Travis streets, in the rear Of
Mrs. Canes residence. The names Of
the combatants are Sarah Sims and Su-
sic Dorsey, better known as Indian Sue.
The circumstances are TOO vile to admit
of description. It is sufficient to- state
that Sarah Sims discovered that Indian
Sue was OH too intimate terms with her
husband, Dow Sims, and infringing
upon her wifely prerogatives, and in her
rage she rushed into Susie Dorsey's,
house, and with knife in hand, inflict
ed ten or dozen severe cuts on Susie
Dorsey, the worst being in the left
thigh, and several on her back. After.
being cut, she walked several blocks to
DR.. Fishers Office, and that gentleman
gave her proper attention. Sarah Sims
escaped, but will doubtless be arrested.
1t is the opinion of DR.. Fisher that the
wounds are not fatal. The only pity is.
that the faithlcss husband did not re-
ceive his just deserts in the affair and
have the wounds to suffer-"
A negro man named Pink Coleman,
living near Greenwood, near the Texas
line, has been arrested by Constable
of Caddo parish for murder committed
in 1878. The man has several times
been arrested for the murder, but al
ways managed to escape.
The coal mine on the Sabine river has

Some excitement, says the Sentinel,
was occasioned in Bayou Sara over q
case in which the wife of Scott Doug

ing her husband. 1t seems that Scott
had incurred. the displeasurc OF his wife
| some days before, and onThursday even
| ing, she fixed up drink in which was a
large quantity of quicksilver, which, it
was also found out, she had obtained by
scraping the back of q looking-glass.
When Scott returned from his work, his
lady profered him the glass containing
! the mixture, but by sign from VIC
man standing near, he was induced not
to drink it. Mrs y. was not to be out
done in her attempt at murder, and the
following morning, offered the mixture
again and it was taken, not with any
serious result that we can learn. MIS-.

A PRESS ASSOCIATION.

How would it do to get up a press
association in Louisiana? We have
been reading an account Of the prere-
grinations Of certain Arkansas editors
who of course had their hats chalked
by the whole souled railroad mag
mates and rid free all over the Union
almost. We yearn for one Of those
free rides for ourself and the
madam. If we had a press associa.
ton perhaps the opportunity would
offer. Seriously, it might be Of ad-
vantage for the editors and publishers
of the State to come together in an or.
ganization for mutual benefit. Will
not some of our brethren express an
Observation-Disclosures Guardian.
The suggestion Of our contemporary
is an excellent one. We believe that
much good will accrue through such
an organization. Rules can be adopted
which will materially advance the
pecuniary interests Of the press by
preventing a competition detrimental
to all. Besides which, the press
through its cc1editedrepresentatives
could do much to prevent the passage
of such laws, for instance, as the one
referring to Judicial advertisements
which the legislature came near en-
acting at its last session. The tone
of journalism will be improved and
usuages adopted that will render the
profession what it should be,o of the
most honorable. Friend Hayes, YOU
can put us down as one who will at
tend the meetingwheneve where
ever it may be called.

DEMOCRACY Is ETERNAL

Judge Hoadley, the temporary
Chairman Of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, in calling the representatives OF
the Democracy to order, said that
ncitherthe defeat nor the success OF the
nominees could affect the integrity OF
the party, for, said he, ''Democracy
is Eternal
The past has demonstrated the
truth Of his assertion. Political par
ties in this country, based upon the
false principles suggested, by the ex-
pcdiency Of the hour, have, from time
to time, swayed the masses and placed
the sceptre of government i'll the
hands of their leaders.
Confronting the divers theories and
their advocates, the principles oftrue
Republicanism, at times crushed to
earth, have arisen more powerful than
ever, after every contest.
The Democratic party impressed
with the conviction that all men are
equal before the law; that a stable
government cannot exist unless it re-
poses upon the consent Of the gov
.emed, in consequence Of which the
right Of local self-sovernment is in
dispensablc to ensure religious free
dom, and the enjoymens Of the Gus
toms appertaining to each State and
locality, has kept with within its
ranks all men, who, knowing the
rights which God has given to every
human being, dare maintain them.
The Democratic party while adhcr'
ing firmly to its fundamental princi'
piles has had the wisdom to remain
within certain lines Of demarcation
while it has kept pace with the pro
gressiye march of civilization. 1t il
because of this characteristic trail that
citizens opposed to the ultra Or radi'
cal views of demagogues have sought
refuge, in the hour of danger to the
liberties Of the Nation, under the
broad folds of tho banner OF Democra
cy.

rule of a political association whose
acts have been prompted by sectiona
