ing to the just dictates Of his heart
and conscience. In 1877 he was q
member Of the famous Electoral Com
mission, which, inspite Of the efforts
Of himself and his six confreres, SO
grievously wronged Samuel j. Tilden
by placing in the Chief Executives
Chair R. B. Hayes, in direct OPPOSE
ton to the popular vote and legiti-
mate electoral results, When the
Senate ratified the decision Of the
Commission, as regarded the State Of
Louisiana, and brought The blush Of
shame to the American cheek, he re-
ferred to the unjust act in these burn
ing, truthful words:
"My labors and my efforts have been
crowned only by failure. Deep, in
deed, is my sorrow, and poignant nv
disappointment. / mourn nv failure
for my country's sake; for it seems to
me that not only does this decision Of
these eight members destroy and
level in the dust the essential safe
guards Of the constitution, intended
to surround and protect the election
OF the Chief Magistrate of this Union,
but it announces to the people of this
land that truth and justice, honor and
morality, are no longer the essential
basis Of their political power.''

LAWYER IN A sCRAPE.

From the following it would ap-
pear that the matter of lawyers pay
ing license is coming to the front. If
editors, why not the limbs of the law t?
They both starve and l. alike. It
is clipped from the Donaldsonville
Chief: ut appears the attorneys at
law in Franklin parish are in the hab-
it of paying license for the practice of
their profession. A rule was taken
on Mr.. Franklin Thomas to show
cause why he should not be suspend
ed from practice for non-payment of
license, and after trial the District
Judge ordered that it be sustained
and made absolute, whereupon Mr..
Thomas took all appeal to the Su-
preme Court. There is a clause in
the State revenue law requiring the
collection Of license tax from law
yers, hut we believe this statue is
more hOn0red in the breach than in
the observance as general thing.
We are quite confident that these IL
censes are not exacted in Ascension,
and the same is doubtless true of
many other parishes. If we under
stand the matter rightly, a majority
OF attorneys regard the imposition of
this tax as illegal and unjust; hence
the decision of the Supreme Court in
the Franklin case just cited Will be
awaited with interest by the members
Of the bar throughout the State"

way from England with British horses

equestrianism with our best lady ri
ders, made the effort in a twenty mile
race on Saturday last at Rochester,

cit, the Minnesota girl, but quit the
track after riding four miles. She
had changed her mind about riding
