against the commerce OF San Francisco,
and tied up the merchants there into
contracts, giving them rebate OF nifty

never used vessels at all, nor sell thelf
goods to any body who will ship IN yes

Let the Discussion Proceed
Lake Charles Echo.

We have noticed an indication on the
part Of not few of our brethren OF the
nress, in the country parishes, to dlsre-
gard the fatherly advice of the city pa
pers, gratuitously given, in regard to
discussing political affairs OF the State,
at this particular time. We can see no
objection to such discussion. The
election. as we'll as the Democratic state
convention, is long time off it is true,
and for that very reason we should
commence to post ourselves. There is
q long, hot summer looming up in the
near future, and the time can be profit
ably employed in an exchange of opin-
ions on certain measures and men. a
few politicians and ice-seekers have
too often manipulated matters in this
State for the good of the people at large,
and a change in that regard is necessa-
ry. il the prosperity and welfare of the
State is to be considered. The Demo-
cratic majority in this State is so large
| that there is no necessity OF wasting
time or breath in the discussion OF Re-
publican measures or of probable Re
publican candidates for any State office.
| Scattered all over this State are men
Gnalified and deserving of public posi-
ton. Men Of whom very little is
/ known, because they have been too

HOW 1T STANDS.

On the 9Th instant in the absence Of
Boss Cooper, the senate, on motion Of
Senator Wagner the democratic senator
from Cumberland, pissed resolution
By an almost unanimous vote, direct
ing the proper committee to report a
bill providing for the payment Of the
salaries of senators and representatives
until the 10th inst land no longer. The
house had passed resolution subStan-
TALLY the same, prior to that day, aud
S mt it to the senate for concurrence.
The senate amended the house resUlu-
tion just enough to give it a different
form, in the hope that the house would
non-cOncur in the amendments, and
thus defeat the resolution. But the
democratic house was equal to the en-
eIgencY and seriously interfered with
Boss CO0per's low tricks, and on the 18th
instant re-pass9d the resolution just as.
it came from the senate, by the deci-
sive vote OF l04 yeas to IA nays-the
nays being nearly AL republicans, act.
Ing under iustr actions of their red
haired boss.
Thus were the stalwart obstruction
ists caught in their own trap. The reso-
luton is passed by both houses and has
the morale force Of law. Both the senators
and the representatives now work for
nothing, whether they do much or lit =
tie, and they can well al o.d to do it.
for the pay they already have received is
. out of all proportion to the work done,

A Job for Stewart.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch (Ind rep)
If Senator Stewart can give the peo-
pie of the state few good reasons why
an apportionment that was fair enough
for him during the regular session
could not get his support in the extra
session, he will develope an ability of
craftsmanship which has heretofore
been unsuspected. AS it was within
the power of the independent senators
TO force non partisan pportionment
early in the session,it will give these
gentlemen an ample occasion for the
exercise of their eloQuence in explain
ing why it was not done.

Testing the Power Of Congress.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 9.-The
question of the power of congress un-
der the fourteenth amendment to pass a
civil rights act is to be tested here.
Last month a colOred man with two
friends entered Swain's restaurant.
The proprietor refused to serve them.
The colOred man brought an action un-
der the civil rights act. Swain filed a
domurer on the ground that congress
had no power under the fourteenth a.
mendment to pass the act. The casa
will be argued before Judge Field.
Whatever the decision the case will be
taken to the United States Supreme
Court.
