FEDERAL AUTHORITY.
It is becoming more and more apparent
that however oplposed the loyal lovers of
State Cnstitutional Rights, may be to
national intuirference in the conduct of
affairs in any of the States, circumstances
of no grave and momentous a character
are taking pLice in many of them, that
there is no alternative left, but to invokS
the powL,'f l arm of national strength
and vit:dity for the preservation of pec-e
;nd order, and for the secuiity and pre
tection of lije itscli We approve of
State ,Rights, but the State has no right
to neglect tle e.tabli.shmcnt of a com
petent and efectice police system, and
abandon her citizos to the "tender mer
cies of the wicked," who scrifioe life
and prolperty, inflict injuries of every
descripti i on her helpless citizens in
her very face, if not with her consent
When a State through her Representa
tives, so Ltr abaudo:cs her duty the obli
gation cannot but be transferred to the
1'edcral lt'.p,rescntative. Congress has
been slow to wake up to the recognition
of the full import of the relation of the
Feder:al Go,vt rnrment to the States in an
emergency not threatening the national
life. And alth:ugh the fourteenth
amnendmraent to tho Constitution of the
United Status conferred special power to
enforce its provisions by appropriate le
gislation, vyt for nearly two years have
the StateLs Ctequiri:g, iand the people bc
see&ching anmd deserving Congressional in
terfercnce, and the protection of the
Governanent,been loft to endure the long
cat'dbt e of aelll essi and numbeiless
wrongs at the hands of every murder
ous orga:nization1 springing into exist
ence, and increasing at every turn by the
forbearance, if not indifference of the
only power competent to effectually res
train and punish. This is happily pas
sing away now. Congress is fully aroused.
The violcuce, thp boldness of Ku-Klilux
organizations, the flagrancy of their
crimes, :an:d the open undisguisel insu':t
andl hostility to the Government, have
at last reachexi Congressional ears, anl
toullche.l C.onre.-sinal hearts, and now
they ''"will u," aol exercise the power
in them vested to insure peact and se
curiLtv t,life and l.roserty, and resplect
to the n.tLional administration. 'The
President has asstuned the exercise of
supreme power in one place, and given
the murderous organizations twenty days
to disperse and retire peac ab:y to their
homes; and Co:ngress is di~scas.sig a
stringent measure for the enforcement
of the fourteenth constitution:d amend
meat. Thus may we hope that ere long,
the wicked connivance, or apathy of
those in authority in so mauy of the
Southern States, will be superseded by
the honest and vigilant defenders of the
Rights of man, which take lawfal prece
denco over any fictitious or even real
right of 4tates. We shall hail as one of
the most salutory of Reconstruction ad
juncta, the passage of this meaure, ren
dered nece-eary and prerepiptorily de
manded by the needs of the times.
Expectation is on tiptoe all oyr the
country, looking for the report of the
Commissioners of the San Dpmingo
business. In the meantime Senator
Sunner is losing no opportunity to ar
raign and condemn the entire policy y
the Federal Government in generl, pd
the part being enacted by Presi4ent,
Grant in particular. The Senators series
of resoluticons, which he introduced in
the Senate, recites ms reprehensibie, the
alleged acts of the administration in
menacing San Domingo by the presence
and cruining of a naval force ; and from
the attitutde assumed, and the vebhmene
with which the acquisition is oppaed
by him, it is becoming evident that
trouble boles the PrcsIdents' scheme.
The Ex-Emperor, Napoleon le pli, as
Victor Hugo calls him, ' England, the
general refugee asvl and h had
interview with Queen .ttoria,o hour'
length. Of course be denouui eve
thing and everybody engaged i. endeav
oring to establilh a Republic 'in France
and in this course he will naturally be
encouraged and sustained by the Mon
archial and Imperial Governments around
A late dispatch makes him say: "All
siyeforts shall be nceasingly directed
against the rebels who have conspired
for the ruin of France, which ir the only
hope to them of carrying out their sinis
ter designs. These men I will force to
make amends to my poor people, which
they can only do by asking directly after
their will, and then submitting to it-with
out opposition."
In the meantime, efforts at the forms
tion of a new ministry are going on in
France. Thiers has addressed the Na
tion:al Assembly and pledges himself not
to betray -the Republic. Whether it is
possible for the factions which now dis
tract France to quietly compromise their
grievences, appeal to the popular voice,
and abide by their decision, is a problem
which nothing but time can solve. That
there will be powerful, if not extensive,
efforts made to restore the Empire, we
have no doubt, and we believe that ere
long Napoleon will endeavor to prove that
the French are "my poor people."
The New Orleans Slandrd of yester
d y ir' awfully wrathy r g inst Governor
V;rmoth. It goes for rim from begin
ning to end. Give the "struggling young
man" a chance, brother, and wait till he
gets on his feet again.
There is every probability that the
work of constructing levees for the pro
tection of property in the rear of the
city, and for the reclamation of swamp
lands in that vicinity, will soon be com
menced.
At last the lovers of law have cause to
congratulate the community on the vin
dication of justice, in the prosecution
and conviction of burglars. The verdict
of the jury, in the case of the State
against Capdeville, Bertin, and others,en
gaged in the Rochereau robbery, is re
ceived with heartfelt thanks by every law
abiding, honest citizen.
A writer in the Ni'w Orlenns R4epul'ican
of Tuesday last, makes an unseemly ani
unreasonable attack on the Superintend
ent'of Public Education, attributing all
the failures in the carrying out of the
Common School System to this fuuction
ary. We do not profess to be the cham
pion of Mr. Co:way, but we are av r-e
to laying on a man's shoulders mere of a
burden than he shou:l bear. It will be
remembered that the School law of 1570
was not dMr. Conway's. The complicated
machinery which entanglel the working,
o, that measure grew out of the amend
ments made to the Bill by the Senate at
the suggestion and under the influence
of arguments by Senators Campbell and
Eagan. The present measure, as amend
ed promised to redeem the system from
rmany of the embarrassments surround
ing it, and doubtless would have considera
bly done so, but the law makers by sub
sequent legislation limited taxation to
two per cent on property in the City,
while the School law required the City
Council to levy a tax for the support of
the Public Schoolas.
Parties not in sympathy with the
school system and eagerly watching every
opyo=tunity to oppose its action imme
diately recognized the legal grond
offered for opposition, and forthwith
exception was taken, and the City
Council declined to assess the tax. The
matter every one knows is before the
Courts. The Hon. H. C. Dibble, the
chairman of the City School Board, has
appealed to the supreme Court; and
this is the posture of affairs at present
Under this condition of things we
cannot imagine with what justice, the
accusation against the superintendent of
Public Education is made.
SThe official printer has trn-ed out
a very creditable pamphlet containing
the report of the Department of Public
Accounts of the city of New Orleans for
the six months ending December 81, 1870,
and we tender Amlinistrator Shaw our
thanks for the copy sent us.
Ax Ixa;uso aaswr D~Iu--A
correspondent of the Tribune in gosiping
about Stevenson's bookltore, Edinbulrgh,
tells of a wager laid there which called
out a letter from George Crau~bkank,
under date of Nov. 12, 1870, as to his
share in the illustration of Diclkes'
works. He said that he did much less
than was generally supposed, a mistike
atrising from the imitation of his style by
"Phia" (BPblot K. Browne) anpd other
artists He continues :
I Was, however, the fir artist to
illustrate any of Mr. Dickens' wdtinp
and the earliest of these was the first
volume of "Sketbee by Boa"' J~JwM
1836), and the next was the second
volume ,mder this title, $he 6e
of whi4 were r n fr hinj
Sie time after thM *. Bent
staied his ?ielleny, poisntin
Dickens as editori and myself as ills
trator ; and the first plate in that work is
a design of mine, which Mr. Dickens
wrote up to. Therl was also a wood-cut
of a Beadle, &c. Then followed [1839]
"Oliver Twist," which was entirWy my
oers d sd- i a s-g.anm' -wuu 4 and a t Mr
carmler are mine. And this will s un
for the fact of "Oliver Twist" being eory
different from any of his oler writings.
When Mr. MeCrone, the publisher, Ailbd
(he having published the ' ketch.b til
Bos"), a volume was brought out fot the
benefit of his widow. Mr. Diekebs'
wrote some part of this, which I illustrat
ed, and these are all the designs and
these are all the designs ,and etchings
thlt I did to illustrate the orks of that
author. I am preparing to publish an
explanation of the reason why I did not
illustrate the whole of Mr. Dickens'
writings, and this explanation will not at
all redound to his credit.
GOIAa, Pan.-ProL Wlecox, in re
calling an interview with Prim, in Appe
Ion's Journal, pays him the following tri
bute:
"Like Lincoln, Prim falls just as his
work is doune just as he has guided the
State through a great revolutirn. Both
*were hated alike by tories and dreamers;
both were upheld by masses. Like Na
poleon in Franoe, Prim had the rare
union of judgment. and nerve that en
abled him to see' and to do what each in
stant needed.
Whether his aims were unselfish de
pends on definitions. In a land where
the army is everything. he, thirty years
ago, saw that the future belonged to
liberal views and cautiously so said The
only general of known progressive feel
ing, the progrewsiste' hopes centered on
him. While that party was down, he
spoke and acted with great care, so as to
win the love of the troops, keep the par
ty's favor, and retain his rank. When the
three liberal parties of Spain came into
power, Prim came back from exile at
their head, and during the trying and
eventful two years since, has toiled 'to
found freedom of thought and expres
sion firmly in ruined Spain, and at the
same time to keep himself in power and
fill his purse. All three he has some
what done; and, having led to the estab
lishment of the new order of things, he
passes from the stage as the king he has
made steps on the soil he has helped to
free.

BLOODSHED IN PARIS.
Another terrible tragedy was enacted
in Paris on Wednesday evening. A
procession of citizens bearing a banner
upon Which was inscribed "Hommes
d'Ordre," was marching down the Rae
de la Paix, when the insurgent troops
stationed in the Place Vendome fired
into it, arusing a dreadf t slaughter.
The soldiers continued firing into the
crowd as it ran. People were killed in
the streeta at the distance ofa mile.
The Rue de la Paix was one pool of
blood. As soon as the news of the
mnsesase apead through the city the e
citemmnt was at fever heat. A prodls
mation was plawarded, signed by the
Paris deputie.asaling for vengeance
"for this tremsendous outrage" At the
