JUSTICE L. &. TODD.

l '''AAH'N
whose name heads this article
has recently been Tie object OF
very severe criticism by the
| President OF what is known as
the "Tax-Payer's Association
of New Orleans.
It might be we'll to state, for
the information of many Of on,
readers, who ara not conversant
with the circumstances, that the
city Of New Orleans WAS recently
sued By some of her bond hold,
els, aud tina; the sujt, for final
adjudication, was taken 10 the
Supreme Court.
It viii be remembered that
Article 200 Of the Consultation
of 1879 limits taxation to ten
mills in municipal corporations.
1t will further be borne ia mind
that the city of New Orleans Is
hopelessly in debt, and that her
citizens are sick and tired OF the
huge load OF taxes that 5ney have
borne for many long yeas. They
looked with longing eyes for re-
lief in tbs new Constitution. Her
creditors are equally anxious
that their claims be met 10y the
city. Hence this suit, 10 which
three members OF the bench
Todd, Feoner and Levy-held
that the City Council are not re-
strIcted to ten mills by the Con-
stitution of 70. In other words,
they decided against the "laz-
Payers Association" which de-
mands a limitation of taxation.
So, a few nights ago, at a
meeting of that body, the Presi-
dent, DR.. Fl. J. Rivet, read a Sc
ries of resolutions, in one of
which be handled Justice ToGd
in an unkind, indecent, and out
1ageous manner. This attack
upon Judge Todd vas published
in the city papers, the majority
of which defended him boldly
and eloquently.
1t SO happened ct the time
this discussion was going on in
the papers that Mr.. David Todd
Was in the city. Naturally his
pride was stung at the attack
upon his father and he at once
demanded of Rivet that he make
a complete and unq Allied re-
traction" Of what be had said of
Judge Todd. Il is useless to say
that Rivet cate his own words
with a smacking relish and
toothesome dispatch. The cor
respondence between Mr.. Todd
and DR.. Rivet was publis he'd in
the daily Democrat of last Sat
nrday, and had we space We
should publish it in full. But
we have given its cause and pur-
port.
As to the personal integrity
and purity of character Of Jus
tee Todd, everybody knows
that they are unassailable, ani
when Rlvet bounced upon him,

A SUGGESTION.

The only apology We deem It
necessary to offer for the re-
peated presentation and discus
sion of the labor question in
these columns is the great inter
est we feel for the welfare and
development Of our parish.
That our labor is uncertain,
unreliable aud vaxatious to en-
| ployers, everybody will admit.
| The present system of employing
labor is defective, unremnnera-
tive. Neither e'nploye nor en-
ployer realizes + reward COM
mensurate with the capital in
vested aud the lands planted.
More than that. The beginning
Of every year is an era Of anxiety
with the land owner, and idleness
with the average colored man.
He desires "a change" no mat
ter what the sacrifice is to him
self nor to his employer. BY
his annual moves he keeps HIM
self poor and the white man az
gravated. But we need say no
more about that. Every one
will agree with US that We need
different system of labor: Oar
fertile fields are not yielding
what they should yield. Our
lands are not producing in pro-
portion to their fertility, and the
fault lies ia the mode Of cultiva-
ton.
Now, We propose a remedy,
different from the one We sug-
gested last week, but by no
means in conflict with it. We
suggest now the prorriety Of or
ganizing an immigration Society
composed of the planters and
business men OF the whole par
ish, and let it be styled "The
Morehouse immigration Socie-
ty." Let each and every mem
Der Of the Society bind himself
to use his infuence-and money,
too, If necessery-to attract the
attention of emigrants to this
parish. Hundreds of industri-
Gus, intelligent white people are
annually leaving the old States
in quest of homes West of the
Mississippi. The most Of them
select a State, and particular
portion OF that State, as their flu
ture home, before they start |
West. During the last Fall
hundreds of people crossed the
Ouachita at Monroe on their
way to parishes west of ours
parishes far less fertile than
ours-because they had been So
licited by the people of those
Eterishes to come. Had we the
sariia getsup" about US More
house wanl ! soon be a "house-
hold word III the old Southern
States East 81 10 great river.
The organization d such Y So
ciety would be strong dsnee
Of our sincerity when We ask the
to pitch his tent WITH
as. He would feel that the peo-
pie welcome him and that he
had indeed found a home.
Besides, when the over-crowd-
ed people OF the orn-out dis
tricts Of the old States Learn that
we have in this parish an Immi-
grafton Society. they will know
to whom application can be
made for information regarding
our resources, the facilities Of
Tered, the lands, prices, health
and many other things that an
smigrant wants to know ere he
starts to a new country. The
Society could send out circulars

ieve by next Fall our parish
would be the recipient Of hun
lreds Of sturdy, stalwart plow-
men, who would soon completely

THE CONDUCT OF eUITEAU.

Some Eastern journals are much scan-
dalized at the behavior both of Guiteau
and of the audience in the Courtroom at
Washington. The behavior of Guiteau
is no doubt very offensive and unbecoming,
but it is evident that Judge Cox is reluc.
tant to impose any restraints upon him lest
it be charged that he had not fair trial,
and this is certainly, if an error of iudg-
ment, one which cannot BE- considered
serious. 1t is indeed very desirable that
this defendant, against whom the anger
and hatred of the whole nation glow,
should be accorded every privilege and
freedom which the most exacting could
require in his situation. As regards the
conduct of the audience, perhaps it is not
SO easy for those who are present to govern
their feelings when the defendant gives
full way to his eccentricities, nor can the
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1881-11-24

solemnity OF the occasion be urged as a
sufficient reason for the maintenance Of
exemplary decorum. For it is well known
that precisely in proportion to the strain
put upon the human mind, is its tendency
to reactionary movements, and therefore
the more impressed the audience were with
the significance of the trial, the quicker
would they respond to any opportunity Tor
momentary merriment. In any case 1T IS
not clear how the Court can preserve
funereal silence all day. If the audience
occasionally laugh, the laugh is over be-
fore anything can be done, and 1t is lmpos-
sible to turn people out for laughing. 1t
is probable that Guiteau's actions are at
times quite grotesque, and that being so it
is surely natural that they should provoke
mirth. Even very sober-minded people
have before now been unable to restrain
themselves from laughing at funerals, and
this trial is after all not altogether go sol
emn an occasion.

EXpLAIsING THINGS.

Messrs. OConnor, Sheehy, and Healy,
delegates to the Irish Convention to be
held at Chicago, have issued an address in
which they undertake to explain the pres.
emit state of affairs in Ireland. They say
in effect that nobody must believe the
calumnious stories which represent the
Irish as being satisfied with the Land Act,
or as being ready to pay their rent. On
the contrary, the delegates declare, the
Irish people "stand face to face with one
tof the most trying situations that ever
tried the manhood and patriotism of the
"nation." That is to say, that they are
obliged to make their choice between the
Parnellite programme and acceptance of
the Land Act. The delegates assert that
Sin the vast majority of cases the rents
"will not be paid" 1t appears, therefore,
that the newest form Of Irish patriotism "
consists in taking the property of other
people and refusing to pay for it. This
kind of proceeding goes by very different
name in the United States and other civil
lied countries. People who make con-
tracts and break them, who incur obliga-
tons and refuse to discharge them, who
rent land and decline to pay the rent,
are characterized elsewhere, not as
patriots, but as swindlers and cheats. It
is very difficult to believe that the Irish
people have OF a sudden lost the capacity
to distinguish between right and wrong in
this way. 1t is indeed much easier to be.
lieve that they are illuminated by such
men as O'Connor, Sheehy and Healy. The
actual state of the case, however, cannot
be long uncertain. BY Christmas we shall
know whether these delegates are speaking
the truth or not. And if it should appear
that they have not slandered their eoun.
trymen it will be for the American people
TO consider what this "no-rent" move.
