The \. y. Times Democrat clo>c, as
follows an article recapituIating some
of the late instances of lawlcsssne,s in
this State:
The Times Democrat direct. the Spo-
cial attention of Gov. Foster to the daily
and ubiquitous occurrence of such acts
of laWless violence throughout the
State, and to the absolute immunity
from punishment that crime is meeting
with. The Governor in taking the oath
Of office swore to maintain and uphold
the laws; the laws are being systematic
caly detied, mocked and trampled up
on. And feature of the prevailing
lawlessness which should not escape
Gov. Fosters notice is that in many of
thelnstances of laWlessness--in Jefferson
parish, for example-some of the ring
leaders in the crime are the Governors
own appointees, nominated by him and
removable at his pleasure.
The reputation of Louisiana as law
abiding State has been suffering very
badly of late, and no serious or deter
mined effort is being made to remedy
the untoward state of things.
When the I'D. complained last week
of the III isconduct Of the Jefferson police
jury, we thought it strange that it did
not call upon the Governor to romoye
the derelict officials. We arc pleased
to observe that its attention now ap-
pears to be turned in that direction.
