Indicted JeefYrs0n Davis.

In telegram from Baltimore,
Nd. it is stated that Joseph Willard,
who celebrated his eighty-seventh
birthday on Sunday at his home in
pimlico, was the acting foreman OF
the grand jury that indicted Jeffer-
son Davis for treason. In this boast
there is involved the discredit aris-
ing from the vindictive partisan
hatred which dominated at the time
when the blood of an innocent man
was being demanded to which the
Federal authorities dare not yield
After jefferson Davis had been
shackled as the 1neanest Of felons,
and as there was no law to hold
him, as he had transgressed no law,
civil, criminal or military, he was
liberated on bond, his surety being
Horace Greeley, the leader of the
Abolitionists. For this act Greeley
was execrated by the descendants
of the men who had burned women
and men at the stake for religious
opinions, but Greeley drfied the
fanatics and the fanaties.m of the
time and endeared himself to the
people of the South.
II is only the thoughtless of TO-
day, the fanatics and the fanaticism
which has survived the hanging OF
Mrs. Surrat, an innocent woman
who would heroic Joseph MillarG
and the others who indicted Jeffer-
son Davis. whose name and whose
fame shall never be dimmed until
the end of the world.

The Tax Amendment.

The proposed tax amendment to
the State Constitution has received
the recognition necessary in the
General Assembly to have it sub
mitted to the qualified voters at the
election in November next.
The amendment was on the brink
Of defeat, but the members OF the
Legislature developed some wisdom
in giving the people the opportunity
to approve or to defeat it.
The tax proposition may be the
very thing that the people may
want, but because it has passed the
House and the Senate is not an as
surance that it will receive the
sanction of the majority voting al
the November election.
A glance at the proposed enact
ment reveals some points of differ.
-enee and of inequalities which must
be discussed fairly and dispassion-
ately. Some of the proposed amend
ments are lengthy and there are
some which should be approved and
others which should be defeated.
In time the Caucasian will present
each amendment in condensed form
and in words which may be gener.
ally understood and it will then ex-
press its views as to which should
be approved or defeated.

Chief Justice Breaux i'm New Or

The presence in New Orleans OF
Chief Justice Joseph A. Breaux has
been announced. 1t is believed that
he has been called to New Orleans
to consider the registration case OF
Heroic VS.. Samuel A. Montgomery,
registrar of voters.
The decision is against the regis
trar.
A muddle has been preclpltated
over the registration Of voters by
the Bosses of New Orleans. 1t
would seem that in the review of
the case at issue there was rejected
by the lower court greater meas
ure of partisanship than justice.
In this case, as in others, the
Bosses of New Orleans are at their
old tricks. 1t would seem that with
the opportunities offered them by
the defeat i'm the new election laws
the Bosses of New Orleans should
carry everything in sight with
scarcely a struggle.
Justice Breaux should not have
been called from the activities OF
his campaign when the Bosses can
work the duplicate ballot, preceded
under the new election law, to their
own self gloriffcation and aggran
dizement.
