lettn upon recent article in this paper


The New Orleans Times had affirmed
that an organization had been formed in
1874, for the purpose of securing the right
of suffrage to all persons, without respect
to color or opinion; that it was subse-
quently controlled by an accession of mem
bers, and placed upon military basis. II


The Bulletin concludes that the Times
was in error, and that the object of the
organization had been the same from the
beginning, and goes some strides beyond
and contended that the forcible expulsion
Of the State government was justified by
the nocturnal domiciliary search fol-
arms contemplated by the State gov
ernment, with a view to disarm the citizens
of New Orleans.


To this last we replied that no evidence
existed of such intention, and that no act
had been proved to render it probable.
We took the distinction between attempt.
ing to preserve the peace of the State by
the same means that the Pi6apme con.
tends the mayor Of village may employ,
and argued that the endeavor to prevent
the receipt and distribution of arms for Q
purpose then officially known, and now
avowed, to intend the armed control of the
election. was no invasion of the right te
bear arms. Nor was an attempt to recover
the property of the State taken forcibly
or otherwise, from its possession any in

How will the Bulletin nationalize with
the Yankee Democrats on that basis? Do
they also admire the Democracy who
fought and exchanged blockaded goods
with them? This may be good basis of
submission for Southern Wings, but for
Mcclellan, or any war Democrat, it would
seen an avowal OF unreconstructed
opinion going to show that the war must
be fought over again. The very thin
sawder OF the BMletn will deceive no
one |. has been too recent for even
oblivion in New Orleans, that partisans
bave threatened the Democratic whip
for the backs Of these contumacious
Wings and others. And even now an
anonymous correspondent of the Demo-
cratit organ Of this city claims that those
who entered the Democratic convention
al Baton Rouge are 'henceforth' bound
by it. Here is the view Of the cor
respondent:


The fusion consrmmated' at the Baton
Rouge convention, so lar from "leaving the
Democratic party without organization in
Louisiana has merged every other known
or suspected, or embryotic organization. ex-
cept the Radical Republican parly, into
unison and fully pledged cooperation with
the Democratic party. 1t was the declared
purpose and understanding of the delegates
representing the Democratic, Reform. Lib
eral, Peoples, or White Mans party, that
the action and christening of that conven-
ton should be final and binding on all and
fap aF,p,J o11 LIB rorlr& ,,-t l.,
monlous opposition to the Radical party,
and tor the common security and welfare OF
the State. We propose to stand up to that
compact, and to hold others to it also. IN
this course is safety: in any other there IS
danger, and we warn our resolution makers
OF ii.


We may take il for granted that neither
Independents nor Wings will be bound by
the commands Of the Democracy. Their
campaign plan evidently leads to re-
newal Of war ''among the States, either
IN or out Of the Union. Men who have
business and other interests at stake will
hesitate to commit or compromise them
selves. They now have notice that a
Democratic convention is bird lime, and
sIlckS every one VINO ever enters II, SO
that he is never his own political man
again. This is equivalent to putting up
the McEnery ticket again, which may
not be entirely acceptable to all.


The Democracy Of all opinions will
come together in convention, but all those
who do not wish to so to civil war again
will do well to wait and see if there can
not be more peaceful solution Of ques-
tions. The Republican party have shown
a platform of principles and policy which
has attracted much attention. II they
will mount that platform with unexcep-
tionable men, as they will undoubtedly do,
they will offer the old Wings peace and
prosperity as against the civil war and
social anarchy which seem the only re-
suit c: Democratic agitation.

THE NEW YORK STEAMSHIP BUSINESS,


Within year, two lines Of ocean steam
ers between here and New Iork-the Mer-
chants and the Mallory-have been dis
continued. Welearn also that the boats
Of the Philadelphia line have latterly been
unable te obtain cargoes and the time of
sailing Of one Of the steamers was at one
period indefinitely postponed. The C.
W. Lord is now advertised to leave on
Saturday OF this week, with no positive
certainty Of having load.


This left the field to the Cromwell line,
which, i. is understood, has not realized
anything very handsome from the monop-
oily Of the business. We now see that
Charles Morgan has entered the trade with
four steamers-the Brashear, Hutchinson,
". G. Hewes and New York. A weekly
service may be expected. We may de-
pend upon it that the veteran commodore
is not trying an experiment. He is fully
informed OF the trade, and knows as well
as any man can tell him the probable vol
ume of the freight business between the
two cities in the future. Furthermore
there is no doubt he will succeed, even
though the managers Of two other lines
failed.


Doubtless there has been great falling
off in the commerce between New York
and this city in consequence of the nume-
rouslines Of transportation running East
and West which have been established.
But there is good deal of business left,
and it may be increased if the merchants
Of New Orleans will take the trouble to
acquire little wisdom. We are glad to
know that they have pretty generally aban-
| doned the insane idea that the natural ad.
yantages OF New Orleans were sufficient
to compel nearly the entire continent to
| pay tribute to them, and submit to extor-
| ton and exaction without any means of
escape from the yoke. The fact is, this


city is now at great disadvantage. The


great rival cities, stretching from East to


West, between the parallels Of thirty-eight


and forty-two degrees, are striving to draw


to this line all the trade on both sides.


The success of these enemies of New Or


leans is seen in our steadily decreasing


receipts, our failing imports and exports.


Notwithstanding the discouraging view
presented, in consequence of local imbe-


cility, Mr.. Morgan is determined to do his


share in the work Of holding on to the
remnant of trade which is still left to r1s.

A very unseemly and disagreeable con-
test has sprung up between the First Dis
trict and Superior Courts in consequence
of the interference of Judge Abel in a
matter pending before Judge Hawkins. It
is just such case as was contemplated by
the statute of February, 1870 which i'm
poses serious penalties upon the judge
who provokes the contest. A sense of iu-
dicial propriety and courtesy is usually
sufficient to prevent conflicts between
tribunals Of equal rank and dignity.
Moreover, it has been held to be one of the
highest prerogatives Of court to protect
its dignity and sustain its jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court itself has formally de.
cided that it can not interfere in con-
tempt case, except such interference be
necessary to protect its appellate jurisdic-
ton. If then, the highest tribunal can
not interfere in certain cases, how cen
another district judge, who can not BY
any legal possibility review decision,
step between party and the Judgment Of
q coordinate tribunal.


The case which is at the bottom of this
Judicial controversy arose in the Superior
District Court. Larrieux and Frilot were
injoined from doing a certain thing. They
disregarded the order, and were commit
ted for contempt. The order of commit
ment is the solemn judgment of the Su.
perior District Court which Judge Abel
claims the right to review, revise and re-
verse, though the plain letter of the
statute imposes heavy fine upon him for
doing so. If the right to release prison
ers committed for contempt by the other
judges be conceded to Judge AbelI, his
court then becomes superior to all others,
and the power of coordinate tribunals to
execute their DEGREES is paralyzed and de-
stroyed


There is nothing in the writ of habeas
corpus which gives court jurisdiction
over the cause for which a person has
been committed to prison. The Judge
can only inquire into the legality of the
commitment, and if he find it to be made
by proper authority, and legal in form,
the rule must be discharged. A prisoner
thus discharged is, however, liable to i'm
mediate re-arrest fer the same offense.
The offense in the case in question con-
sists of disobedience of an order of in
junction, for which the persons offending
were committed to the Parish Prison in
the usual form. Judge Abel has decided
the form of commitment to be Illegal, and
released the prisoners. They have again
been arrested by an order from the Su-
perior Court, and again brought before
Judge Abell. How long this game OF
legal battledore and shuttlecock is to be
kept up we can not say.


Certainly Judge Abel's stump speech
from the bench, which he is so fond Of
using, and which, as usual, he employed
yesterday, throws no legal light upon the
case. The "despotism propped up by
bayonsts, )" which Judge Abel delights tc
take tilt at every few days, is not speci.
ally anxious that .Messrs. Frilot and Lar,
rieux shall be imprisoned, but the public
good demands that the orders of the State
courts shall be obeyed. Anything which
strikes down this principle is an elemen,
of greater mischief and danger to the pub
lie welfare than all the bayonets which
ever cleaned under the banners of ths
Union.

The two great needs of California
are water and wood. Whoever devel-
ops the one or produces the other has
a sure source of wealth. Timber for
fuel and fer manufacturing purposes
must always be valuable in Southern
California, simply because there is no
home supply accessible, and the cost
Of transportation from abroad will in
duce high range of price. 1t is true
that the Southern Pacific Railroad is
now reaching a section better timber
ed than any yet opened, but the trees
are located well up on the mountain
sides and the cost of getting them to
the line of the railroad will be large.
Timber can be grown at a compara-
lively small cost, and will pay a bet
terinterest than any other investment
of equal certainty. Our large land
holders who purpose keeping their
real estate off the market would do
well to set out large portion of it in
timber. They would find that in ten
years time the timber would exceed
the value of the land even though the
latter be the very best, and its loca-
tion be the most desirable. To our
mind the cultivation of timber offers
as certain and perhaps as liberal re
Enumeration as the orange or the wall
nut grove.
