Morgan City Review: A negro in this
parish was arrested, charged with steal
Ing a shovel Of the value of 81. Last
week the trial was held, and the negro
acquitted. 1t figures up something like
this: The parish pays out $50 to acquit
the accused, and don't even get the
shovel
Morgan City Review: Our worthy
parish tax collector, A. g. Frere, ESQ.,,
is Justly proud of the fact that he has
turned into the State treasury nearly
$4,000 taxes for the first quarter OF
1881, and this without selling single
piece of property. But two other coun-
try parishes in the State make larger
showing.
City Item: The granite statue OF
stonewall Jackson, which is to sur
mount the monument of the Associca-
ton of the Army Of Northern Virginia,

designed by Perelli, artist, of this city
and executed by the Hinsdale Doyle
Granite Company, of New York. 1t is
eight feet ten inches In height. The
monument will be unveiled May 10,

THE SHOOTING of Edward Green S
horse on Saturday night last was an
outrage, even though the horse was
pasturing on the lots contrary to the
city ordinances, and the guilty parties
if they can be found out sheuld be
made to pay for their little petty re-
venge. If the dumb brute was tres
passer it could have been arrested and
confined in the horse pound and the
owner would have been fined for al
lowing the trespass. But if the shoot
ing of the horse is TO be winked at i.
may only lead to other and perhaps
more grave violations of the ordinau-
ces. Mr.. Green now offers SIS reward
for the arrest and conviction of the
guilty parties and We hope he may
have the pleasure of paying his money,
and Furnishing the parties who would
kill a dumb brute for revenge.

AS WAS EXPECTED TIE City Coun-
Gil last night refused the use of the City
Hospital to the Board OF Health for
smallpox patients. 1t could hard y be
expected that members of Council
elected by vote of their constituents
would favor a measure so general Y con-
demned as the use of the City Hospital
foI the purpose named, though in reali-
ty under strict quarantine regulations
there would have been no danger.
There remains nothing more for the
Board OF Health to do now than to Sc
cure the Schentzen Park for the pllr-
pose desired, and in case II i, refused to
erect barracks. Whatever is to be done
let it be done quickly.

1t is said that the tyrant Nero tiddled
while Rome was burning. This with a
slight change would not be inappropri-
ate to our smallpox stricken city.
This loathsome contagion has been in
existence in this city with more or less
virulence the big end of a year, and
now it has gained greater headway than
at any other period in that time. 1t
can be held in check if proper measures
were adopted, but when decisive steps
should be taken doctors as well as au-
thorities disagree, and still the plague
spreads and the people and the bus
mess of the city both suffer. There is
no place in which to keep smallpox
patients, and the authorities, though
we do not want to find special fault
with them, are waiting, Micawber like,
for something to turn up. When they
would act they find that they have but
little pewer to do anything except to
vaccinate the people, and in this the
doctors disagree in regard to what kind

End the Contest.

The Conkling members of the New
York Legislature, before the recent eau
Gus was held would not vote for Vice
President Wheeler for United States
Senator though on some ballots he re-
ceived as high as forty-two votes. Since
the caucus has been held and Messrs.
Lapham and Miller have been nomna-
ted by the members opposed to Conk
ling's return, a number of those W ho
have been supporting Mr.. Ccnkling
have voted steadily for Mr. Wheeler
for the Long term and have appointed a
committee who waited upon the ad.
ministration party with proposition
TO elect Messrs. Lapham and Wheeler.
From our stand point we would say
that the proposition should have been
accepted at once. There was no de-
mand made to elect Conkling, and as
he was the incunbrance in the way of
an election for the last six weeks, and
he was now by this proposition re-
moved, we do not know what else the
Administration members wanted. 1t
Is true that they had made Mr.. Miller
their caucus candidate, and they may
nave felt bound to support him as long
AZ he is % candidate, but MIR. Miller
Is already q member of Congress and
should be willing to Withdraw his uame
whag such proposition is made for
fte sake Of securing an election. We
know nothing special of Mr.. Miller,
but we do know that Ex-Vice President
Wheeler is a man of integrity and un-
disputed ability, who would ably rep
resent New York in the Senate. We
have but little faith in the professed
sincerity of the Coukling members of
the Legislature, for when the admins
tratiOn men voted for Wheeler, they as
steadily voted against him and for some
body else and now when the admins
tratiOn men have concentrated upon
Miller, the Conkling men are voting for
Wheeler. Their offer however to accept
Wheeler AMI Lapham should be ac-
cepted by the administration and end
this miserable factional fight that as it
continues grows more CHASTITY and re-
pulsive while President Garfield is sti
lingering between life and death, partly
the indirect results of factional strife.
End the contest at once.

WE ARE still told by our physicians
and we believe they tell the truth that
the smallpox conta yion is not epidemic
in our city. We are glad to hear this.
If it is not epidemic, its spread must be
attributed to. carelessuess and neglect to
provide against its spread. We do not
believe it is worse here than in other
cities where it is also raging. If not
epidemic it can soon be checked and
stamped out entirely and we hope the
proper authorities will do it.

The New York Contest.

New York is one OF the largest anu l.
the most populous State in the Union
Her commercial or financial interests
overtop those of any other two States,
and still she is without representation
in the Senate of the United States. 1t
is the right of the people to be represen-
ted there and they are demanding OF
their Legislature to choose Senators for
them. A majority of both branches of
that Legislature was chosen by Repub-
lican votes, and the Republican party
therefore has right to control the rep
resentation aud is demanding of the
majority in the Legislature that they
choose Senators. A contest began six
weeks ago and is not ended yet because
a perverse minority of the Republicans
refuse to give their support to any 9th
er man than Roscoe Conkling so long
as he stubbornly persists il being a can
didate. 1t has long been perfectly plain
that the public sentiment of the State
was against returning him to the seat
he had SO recklessly abandoned and
threw the Senate into the hands Of the
Democrats. The people have fully
made known their minds upon the ques-
tion and they are found to be three
fOurths to one against the return of
Conkling, and out of one hundred and
six Republican members in the Legis.
lature only thirty-two are in favor of
returning Conkling. These, however,
with tifty-four Democratic votes, make
little more than a majority OF the
Legislature and prevent the election of ;
Senators.
When it is impossible to elect one
candidate and especially when it is
made plain that he cannot secure a -,
majority of the votes of his own party, ,
there is hut one other course open to
reasonable men and that is to elect l.;
some other candidate. The adherents ,
of Mr.. Conkling have been moved by ,
sheer perversity. For reasons well n
known when the contest first commen- f
ced it was impossible to secure caucus n
Of the Republican members the major +
ity of the two houses refusing to put :,
their names to a cal for a caucus. AT /
last, however, the opposition to Mr..
Conkling developed into large major
ity of the members and they agreed to @
hold caucus. The minority was no. I
titled and urged to attend, but would s
not. SiXty-eight ont Of the one hun a
dre and six Republican members of g
;he Legislature did attend the caucus "
and agreed to nominate no one who in Il
the caucus did not receive the votes of f
a majority of the whole party in the t
Legislature. Il
Messrs. Lapham and Miller under T
his agreement were selected. They are T
average worthy men of good ability, C
Us good as could be selected when a par n
y is divided. Had the Conkling men g
attended the caucus and taken part in |,
t better men would have been selected
However, they did not attend and they
how their perversity still by veting for q
Roscoe Conkling with no expectation of "
'ver electing him by this present Leg n
stature. This we believe is the whole r
ruth in a nutshell. The people are tir- n
d of this fight and want an end to it n
I'D they will hold the men who are
