custom has followed the law.


Everybody knows how severely taxed by
official business the Attorney General now


is; and we will venture to say that he will
not lend his voice to the complaint Of the
Herald in the present instance.


The Herald is at fault on the subject Of
an injunction in relation to the bonds in
question. There has been no injunction
applied for in respect to them. There
was On injunction issued by the Superior
Court on the petition Of the Attorney
General and J. c. 4. Fellows and ]. B.

ing out Of the act No. 105, approved June
27, 1871. This is a matter apart and dis
tinct from the bonds issued under the act


No. 81. approved tenth of April. 1872,
and declared TO be valid by the Supreme
Court in December, 1872, and which that
court then decided "there can be no
question as to the issuance Of"


The exception intimated against Mr..


Hunt, as counsel. in relation to the bonds


in question. is not well taken.


Mr. Hunt argued q question as to the
title to the road. which is now before the


Supreme Court a. Washington. But this
question Of title is wholly distinct from


that submitted to him by the Governor in


relation to the issuance of the bonds un-


der the act Of 1872, and involves no incon-


sistency on the score Of professional action.
In the suit of the railroad company, in


volying their right to the bonds, Messrs.
Semmes and Mott were counsel for the


company; Mr.. Hunt never was. The


opinion in the present case is approved by


the judgment of the disinterested. and


has not been disputed at law.


It is said that Mr.. Hunt, if the question
had been put to him, might and would
have added that the Supreme Court had
decided that there was no power to COM
pei the Governor to sign and issue these
bonds"


The question as stated was not put to
him; but it is certain that Mr.. Hunt, as a
lawyer, would not have advised the Gov
ernor to issue bonds if he had no. consid-
cred him bound in law to do so; and that
he would have advised the issuance of
such bonds in pursuance Of the undoubted
intention of the Legislature, and thee1-
press decision of the Supreme Court. even
if technically there was no power to com.
pei their issuance. Moreover. We learn
from the Governor that be consulted the
Attorney General in the matter, and that
he fully concurred in the opinion ex-
pressed by Mr.. Hunt.

The women being more numerous than
the men, would cast an equal average
vote. Suppose five million votes inde-
pendent. uncomfortable, not to be calcu-
lated on. Suppose these votes cast into
the electoral urn. Is it not obvious that
no candidate or lobbyist would bet or
spend money Oh such lottery? What
would become Of Tweed if the women
had vote at him? or Pome-
roy: or any of their colleagues in
crime? They would be ostracised,
with all their imitators down to the thiev-
ish conductor who knocks down a way
fare on roguish railroad. This might be
done by the inexorable, implacable. incal-
culable and uncomfortable female ballot.
1t can not be done by any means hereto
fore employed by man. This IS the only
good that we can imagine in the suffrage
OF woman. In any other conceivable case
her interests are 50 identified with those
of men that they can not be separated.
Here she might perhaps come up as the
ally Of man in getting rid Of robbers from
whom he can not protect himself. Let
woman. then. appeal to the moralists and
economists. Let her ask the farmers
to permit their wives and daughters
to take the contract Of reducing their
taxes, diminishing their debt and driving
away the incorporated curses that plunder
their crops as they pass to market. There
is no fnancier of other peoples money
like woman. The mere process Of te-
male suffrage is as simple as going to the
postofice. As the ladies have been ruled
out Of an absolute right to vote in State
under the fifteenth amendment. they will
have to appeal to the State Legislatures.
Possibly a proposal to accept the right OF
suffrage on condition that they stopped
taxation or reduced the debt within given
time might be accepted. This is their
only chance.

Every reader of newspapers will remem-
Der that the P:cayune denounced the rul-
ing Of the Supreme Court of Louisiana on
the State election cases on groudns incom-
patible with its purity of decision. This
became so pointed as to compel the Chief
Justice Of that court to appeal to the
court for a vindication of his personal in
tegrity. This case in the nature Of an
action for libel, is. We believe, now pend
ing before the State courts. We thought
at the time that it was an odd construc-
tion Of State rights to deny the paramount
decisions of State court, within its ad-
mitted jurisdiction, but set down the GEN.
sure upon the Supreme Court to the usual
evaporation of purely partisan press.
We hail it, therefore, as an evidence of
growing harmony that the Picayunae, as
defendant in another action of libel, ex-
presses, through its counsel, an anxiety
to resort to this very Supreme Court for
review Of rulings in the court exer-
cising present jurisdiction over its rights.
Here is what Counselor Randolph says on
a motion to strike out certain testimony
as irrelevant to the issues:


Your honor has understood that our only
object in asking the questions upon which
your honor has ruled is 20 get our case in
such shape that our bills Of exception will
be properly before the Supreme Court.

when we appear in the Supreme Court our
plea no longer appears upon the record.
We can not argue il there.


We want our pleas before the Supreme
Court as we made them, no: as amended
by plaintiffs counsel.


1t has been explained TO you time and
again that our object is simply 10 get our
case properly before the Supreme Court;
to do that we must ask questions and have
the ru ling Of the cour. upon our action.


Every good citizen must be gratifed at
this restored confidence in the supreme
tribunal of the State. 1t demonstrates, in
the most impressive manner, the restored
harmonies Of the community. Here is a
party but few months since preferring
the immature opinion Of a rejected federal
committee report to the grave decisions Of
State judiciary. Here is a plaintiff but
few months since denying even personal
integrity to this highest State tribunal.
yet now pressing to take question Of
personal interest from before another tri-
bunal that it may be submitted to the very
Supreme Court against the integrity Of
which the plaintiff had expressed
such unfavorable opinions! This is
is significant confession Of error. 1t is
the amen.!e honorable. 1t is sacrifice of
party prejudice to the growing spirit Of
patriotic amity. This act may even go in
mitigation Of damages in some other ac-
tions. unless perhaps it may sustain the
imputation Of malice toward the judge
Of the Supreme Court, by showing the i'm
putation of corrupt judgment unfounded.
This will be shown by the subsequen.
anxiety Of the alleged libelers to have
their case tried before the very court

call out troops and upset the government of
any State in the Union in the name of the law


And what would happen then? Could he
get representatives accepted in Congress from
State government of his own creation? This
would depend altogether upon the extent to
which he had been able to secure to his inter-
ests Congress of salary stealers by an adroit
use of the public plunder If the majority of
Legislative body values itself only at the sum
of the salary grab it is not beyond the reach
of an Executive who has the spending of our
present enormous estimates. But the case
then might fall into the Supreme Court-and
the issue there would probably depend upon
whether the Executive had previously secured
the place of Chief Justice for one of his Cabi-
net oficers-the one, say, that had conceived
all the legal operations for the onslaught in
the first place on the State government. This
is speculation that is somewhat suggestive

corruption aud general official indifference to
everything but personal aggrandizement-th
possibilities it contemplates do not seem
remote The principles of the constitutional
argument on this subject are, of course, the
same, whoever and whatever may be the per-
son in whose case they apply; but, though it
does not change the principles, it must neces-
sarily provoke reflection on the moral degrada-

THE CHE1sTAAs PooR--The poor We have
always with ye. Yes; and that is the
reason we think we can attend to them
at any time. Consequently they seldom
get attended to at all. Yet there is some
thing particularly graceful in remembering
the poor at such an hour as this, when the
evergreen is adorning every parlor. 1t is
to be doubted whether large proportion Of
the gay shoppers who throng our stores and
streets realize how much wretchedness and
want abound Behind each of these dazzling
edifces, somewhere in the background, rises q
phantom-hke tenement house, thronged with
an impoverished host. Fraud, lies, violence,
imposture Of all kinds there may be; but at
the bottom we come to much human misery
unalleviated by hope. It would be well to
bear these facts in mind at a season when all
the world is supposed to be gay. There is no
fear that sensitiveness to poor peoples sor-
rows will interfere too much with our pleas
ures. Prosperous human beings are not con-
structed upon that principle. 1t will do no
gift-maker harm to temper his generosity with
charity, and, while he gives to those who are
able to make handsome return, to give even
more freely to those from whom he can expect
nothing.

the corruption of politicians recently dis
closed in America. But he alluded 10 them
only to warn the sneerers that they little
knew the heart of the American people, if
they did not see that its health was being
shown in throwing this corruption to the sur
face. With his usual penetration, Prof.
Tyndall has at once gone to the root Of the
matter. The nation at heart is as sound as
bell, as we have always strongly main
tanned. That the body polite is in woful-
ly diseased condition we are fain to admit,
but the agitation and fermcnt through

efforts of robust and vigorous constitution
to cast off the slough of corruption with
which it is enveloped, but which, hitherto,
