The Supreme Court rendered on
last Monday decisions in two Lafour-
che cases, one being the case of the
State VS.. Joseph A. Blanchard and
the other, the State er rel Simon Alb
raham VS. the Judges of the Fifth Cir
cult Court of Appeals. The Blan-
chard cas- involved, as our readers
are aware, the interesting question Of
the rice fume law, and the Supreme
Court having dismissed the appeal for
want of jurisdiction, the decision of
the District Court, which we publish
ed in full at the time, stands as the
law of the case. This will cause manv
people interested in the rice culture
in this parish to rejoice.
The other case, arose out the Abra-
ham-Gossin litigation. concerning
the sale Of the fat-steamboat Alexan-
der. Abraham had brought a suit
against Arthur Gossin to compel him
to complete the purchase of the said
steamboat which he alleged GossIn re-
fused to do, without inst cause for re
fasal. He won his suit in the District
Court, ana Gossin appealed to the
Circuit Court. Abraham excepted 10
the jurisdiction Of that our on the
9iou:ad tt,at the amount in c%ontraver-
- exceeded $4,000, the highest Limits
Ct that Conrt's jurisdiction. The
Court ogerfuled bis exception and, on
the %n'erits, reversed the judgment If
the lower court, and gave judgment
II favor of GossiD. Abraham then
applied 70 the Supreme Court for
Writs Of prohibition and certiorari to
restrain the Court Of Appeals from ex-
ercisins any jurisdiction over the
matter, which, afser hearing, the Su-
meme Court refused, thus ending the
litigation in Gossin's favor.

ira treated the public on last Thurs
day night to a grand Literary and musi-
cal entertainment. The performance
was given in the Catholic Knights,

sent was proof OF the esteem in which
the orchestra is held. The music,
songs and r%ecitations were much en-
Joyed by the select Audience present.
and all expressed themselves gratiied
with the Literary and musical treat
given them. The price OF admission
was low, and the prices of refresh
meits equally moderate, and it would
be well for the orchestra to repeat

SATURDAY MAY -. 1898.
i LENSON.

White C apism was taught a terrible
but salutary lesson in Brookhayen,
Miss, within the last two weeks.
These organized law-h1eakers had
committed various midnight crimes.
breaking and shooting Into mems
houses in the dead of night; beating
men and women Tor zeal or tancied
wrongs and terror zins whole commu-
mites.
A short while ago, a few of these
were arrested AMI lodged in jail in
Brookhaven, and their friends and CO.
conspirators conceived the idea to res
cue them in broad daylight and to set
law at naught and overawe justice it.
self. Owing to the courage, di>cre-
ton aud patriotism Of Judge Chris
man, ably seconded by the sheriff, and
the grand jury of the county ard the
public spirited citizens of Brookhaven
the bold attempt was frustrated and
the lawless band made to retreat with
out shedding a drop OF blood. The
Governor was appealed to and two
companies of militia SEM to the scene
OF the Law lessness to furestall any fur
ther outbreak.
On last Monday, the day fixed for
trial of the white caps, when excite
ment ran high and trouble was appai-
emily imminent, six of the accused af-
ter %exhausting every device to obtain
a continuance, startled the court and
everybody present by entering a plea
of guilty, and throwing themselves on
the mercy of the court. They were all
sentenced to two years imprisonment
in the ~penitentiary.
From the published accounts, they
are all poor men, and all, save one,
leave wives and children, who were
dependent on their daily labor for
support. Thus, by their crime, they
have brought disaster not only upon
themselves, but ruin upon their inno-
cent wives and children. They have
realized but too late the folly of trying
to override the law, and the terrible
but salutary lesson which their pun
ishment teaches ought to be laid to
heart by all who ever feel disposed at
any time to take the law ia their own
hands.
All lawlessness whether practiced
by white caps, regulators, vigilantes
or by others under such other appel
lat:on as may be assumed, for tile IN
lawful purpose of regulating fancled
wrongs outside Of the law, leads to
the road which the Brookhaven white
caps had eventually to travel. It may
hold its sway for a time with apparent
lmpunity; but. just as SURE as fate,
Justice will sooner or later overtake
it and mete ont its just retribution.
The law-breaker defies society, and
though he may, %perchance, escape con-
dign punishment now and then,
through corrupt and vitiated public
opinion, or through society's forbear-
ance or indifference; still the time
comes when society is reused to the
danger threatening it, and the viola
tor of its laws is overwhelmed.
Such lesson as was taught at Brook
haven is often given but the lawless
classes soon forget them. 1t is neces-
sary, however, for the welfare Of So
clety to repeat them whenever the oc-
casion requires and the lawless classes
should take heed in time. Whit.
caps, regulators, %vigilantes and what
lot, should beware!
