ROODLUMISM IN HIGH PLACES.

The recent terrible tragedy tina
: startled the customary ~ peace ant
Squiet of the good people of New Or
leans is, indeed, a disgraceful com
mentary upon the usefulness of laws
and officers of the law, as elements OF
aprotection and strength to society,"
4The death OF Thos. Devereaux at the
: hands of the Hennessys, and the prob.
liable mortal wounding of one of the
latter by Devereaux was, from every
standpoint from which a abiding
citizen can view it, the elimination OF
spirit of lawlessness aud hoodlum
ism that has terrorized the Crescen,
City for many months. This state OF
things is no doubt due to degree of
4corruptuess in tltTlocal politics of New
Orleans and the consequent lack of
Afrmness on the part of the local courts
lin administering the criminal law.
The city has acquired an unenviable
name in the past year or two as a
peaceful and law-a5iding community
The local press has time and time
!!again denounced with energy the reck
lessness of a large element of disrepu-
table characters that infest the place,
and called upon the Courts in vain to
protect the citizens by a vigorous en-
!forcement of the laws. So highland
led had become the criminal classes,
and so feeble or corrupt had become
the courts of justice, that the protec-
|tion4of society demanded the organiza-
tion OF a COMMITTEE of public safety,
This institution, at first thought Of
questionable propriety, has rendered
efficient service thus far, in the pun
ishment and suppression of crime.
1t argues lily, however, for the eff \
cheney of any local government that
such an organization becomes publicl
necessity. 1t implies that the publicI
officials, to whom are confded the
public safety and the enforcement of
the laws, are either incompetent or|
corrupt. The responsibility for the!
numerous disorderly outbreaks that
have been so prevalent Of late rests inE
"a great measure upon the judges of the|
law. The opinion obtains among MAJ
ny sensible people that the Judiciary,
from the humblest to the highest,
should owe responsibility alone to-
some appointing power. There isl
doubtless a great deal of human ma
|ture in the local judiciary and court!
officials of the Crescent City, as WE'LL
las among the municipal chiefs, and sol
long as the courts are presided over
10y men who owe their official power
lin great measure, to cliques and|
rings of corrupt ward politicians and|
bar room hoodlums, riot and law.
|!eesness will trample upon the public
peace.
There may come a time when thei
Louisiana Judiciary will owe nothing|
|of fear or favor to political factions.

IN FULL.

On Wednesday last, the day fixed, the
Shooting Match at Glass Balls, for the
championship of the Parish, came off
between the Alexandria aud Cotile
Gun clubs. A large crowd assembled
ito witness the result, the friends OF
the members of the two clubs, and the
greatest interest was manifested by
all present. The shooting was very
poor, a stiff south easterly wind being
blowing at the time. The trap used
was a Rotary one, the Bogardus rules
governing the match. We would sug-
gest to the Cotile Club that the next
time they come to bring along their
best shots, and not keep them in re-
the affair might be made
interesting, especially to the outsiders.

A Cunning Coup D'Etat.

= level of trade. They heve manifest.
ed on all occasions where political off.
: ces were involved, the unscrupulou.
acunning of the ward hummer.
What can strike the country as more
scontemptible than the recent displace.
3ment of Senator Bayard from the pres.
sidency of the Senate, and the substitu.
ton of that ponderous non-d script
David Davis.
Was there trade with Davis as
there was with Mahoneq
Senator Davis is reputed man Of
high toned instincts and of splendid
liabilities. 1t is generally thought that
he cannot be traded with in politics
and that his political independence,
whatever that may mean, springs from
Conscientious convictions. His mere
consent, however, to accept the presi-
sdency of the Senate, under the circum
stances, argues that there is at least
something small in the portly Sena-
tors composition.
His pride and vanity only, it is said,
we're fattered by Republicans, and
THAT no bargain or corruption had a
part in persuading the Independent what
[ ou-may-call-him to seize the chair
Iof Bayard which. as the country knows,
enjoyed more dignity and honor dnr.
ling the few hours lie occupied it than
had surrounded it for many long years.
In SO far as the presidency of the
Senate is concerned, as party advan-
!tage, it is matter of little worth to-
the Democrats.
Party strength in the Senate is sol
,evenly divided that, with Bayard inI
the chair, the Democrats would have!
held only barren victory, burdenedj
with more or less responsibility. AS It'll
lis, the Republicans have the organiza-
ton, committees, etc, coupled With
all the accountability attaching to bads
legislation. Democratic Senators inl
choosing Mr.. Bayard president pro-
tenn at the organization, however, have
Ito use Wilde expression--endeav-
ored to live up to their Blue China po-
litically, to say the least.

POETRY.
The Graoes.

When the faiths Of the world were without doubt,
And the loves of the world were true
When the fires of the gods not yet stamped out,
And the troubles of men were few,
Three goddeeses walked by shady stream,
Meath the glowing skies of Greece,
Who were sprung from the father OF gods supreme,
And were Majesty, Joy and Peace
And the men OF those days. who their presence felt
Had named them the Graces three;
And worshipped their SMILES at their affairs knelt,
And sought for them steadfastly.
All, those were the days when a clear blue sky
Smiled down on joyful earth,
Whose daughters and sons raised to heaven their
cry
OF unfettered unfeigned mirth.
But though the sun has as warm ray,
And the rivers as calmly flow;
Though the sea of today sings as sweet lay,
And the flowers as brightly blow,
The faiths of today are no longer warm,
And the thoughts of today not cam,
The hymns OF today can no longer charm,
And our troubles can tina no balm.
When the winds of Time have called
On the ocean of Life fierce angry waves,
Man bows his head appalled,.
Where now can We look for the forms of peace
Which our fathers worshpped of old?
Must the hope which they held forever cease?
Are the loves of the world all cold?
No; surely these maids of the past are here,
They are walking the world again;
Their eyes as of yore SHINE kindly and clear,
And they hate as yore our pain.
Majestic Ethel and Gertrude's mirth
And the peace of Hilda's smile,
Have recalled doubling, Borrowing earth,
The pleasures it lost for a while.
And although our song must unworthy be
OF these Graces who haunt US today,
Yet the poets of Greece sang less truthfully,
And we worship as fondly as they.
