as a possible Democratic candidate for

A OIVYILJA N0 TH SBUPBI, 13~t 0_EI
The reasons for the appointment of I
t Southern man to the vacancy on the
Supreme bench of the United States,
Is occasioned by the resignation bf Judge
- Davis, are so palpable that it has been
tacitly conceded to some one of the
Southern States. The President has
shown no disposition to ignore these
claims and, as the policy he has adopted
towards the South gives them a peculiar
I, force, we feel that it can be safely as
sumed that he will be entirely con
trolled by them in making the appoint
ment.
This section has no representative
upon the Supreme bench, as it is now
constituted, and we are entitled to one,
even as a mere matter of politios. But,
besides this, there are special reasons
for placing a Southern man there.
There yet remain on the statute books
a number of laws of a political obharac
r ter, enacted solely for political purposes,
Swhich involve the whole Southern ques
tion and which cahnot possibly have
application elsewhere than in these
States, that are constantly being re
ferred to the Supreme Court for inter
pretation. In consideration of this fact
it is but just and wise that there should
be among the assoclate justices of that
court a Southern man, not merely by
the accident of residence, but also in
convictions and sentiment-a true repre
d sentative of the Southern view of these
measures, who shall participate in their
interpretation. Indeed, the Southern
' policy of the administration renders
, such an appointment imperative.
Assuming, then, that the future Asso
elate Justice must necessarily come
from one of the Southern States, we
shall present what we consider pe
culiar and exceptional reasons for
the selection of a Louisiana jurist
for this position. In this State
alone is the civil law the established
a jurisprudence, and in its theory, as well
as in the rules of interpretation and in
mere matters of practice, it dinters wide
ly on many questions from the common
law systems of the other States. In all
cases arising in this State, when the
jurisdiction of the Federal courts is not
exclusive, and when it is made concur
rent with that of the State by mere ar.
bitrary statutory provisions, and spe
cially in cases transferred from these
courts by writs of error, the proceedings
must be conducted under the rules of
practice, and the judgments rendered
in accordance with the principles of the
civil law, as laid down by the Supreme
Court of this State. In these cases it is
clear that there should be a juidge in this
court of last resort possessed of a thor- .
ough knowledge of our peculiar system ,
of jurisprudence, deeply imbued with
its spirit and entirely familiar with its i
technical rules of practice. t
But the advantages of having a i
learned civilian in the Federal Supreme I
Court do not end here. The extent to j
which the common law of England is
indebted to the civil law can hardly be I
estimated, and in America, where the t
law is indeed a progressive science, the I
debt is vastly greater. Outside of ques- c
tlons of personal liberty, the whole t
American jurisprudence seems to be, i
day by day, assimilating itself more b
and more to this, the only classic source
of juridical learning. The Admiralty b
courts of England-and the jurisdic.to
tion is such cases is exclusive in the c
Federal courts--are governed by the p
principles of modern civil law, that is, .
by the usages of modern nations in the t!
more extended relations growing out of a
commercial enterprise, but still having i
as a basis the rules of the Roman law. ,
We see the spirit of the civil law in b
the simplification of the practice and of
forms of conveyances and writs of court, 0
and specially in the codifications of laws
that have been introduced in a large
majority of the States. The provisions ii
of the common law, in relation to per- 6
sonal libertyand rights, are its most im- b
portant peculiarity, and its one original e
feature, and these obtain in Louis- t
lans as in the other States of the Union, o
But in all other respects we find the it
common law of England modified and a
invariably in conformity with the H
theories of the olvil laws. In the laws
of descent, including primogeniture, we t
see a radical divergence from the com- a
mon law in the United States.
To the influence of the civil law must t
be attributed the amelioration of the b
rules of the common law relative to
husband and wife, and the growing die. a
position to protect the rights of women. b
It has not been long since in almost i
every State personal property of the 4
wife, and even her realty, became the a
husband's, and it was only with ex
treme diffoiculty, and by the aid of the ,,
Court of Chancery, that she could for- ,
merly be protected in the enjoyment of t
any portion of her property. In all ei
these respects Louisiana, by reason of t
the civil law jurisprudence solely, has 1
been in advance of all the other States h
nt tbn flnTnn nnd ahe In no mt
The accepted division of the common
law into leges non scriptor, or that part of
it which has grown up from usage, and
leges scripti, the acts of Parliament,
leaves all that part of jurisprudence
which is properly a science to be drawn
from the civil law. We have shown
that jurisprudence in America has lib
erally drawn upon it, and there is no
country in the world where the study
and practice of the law have attained a
higher standard or more perfect devel
opment than in this country. More than
a century has elapsed since Burke, no
ting with admiration the fondness and
aptitude of the Americans for the study
of law, stated as a remarkable fact that
as many copies of Blackstone were sold
in the "plantations" as igwll the Uni
ted Kingdom. This characteristic has
by no means deteriorated since then
sad the result it the gradual building 1
up of what is now the nqost complete
and magniftlent system of jurispru
denoe, perhaps, in the world.
Our commentaries and decisions are
authority in the courts of every civil.
lied nation, and this must be in a
measure attributable to the fact that
their underlying principles have
been drawn from all sources, and
the good in each sought for and re
talned. The mercantile and maritime
law, the latter constituting the peculiar I
and exclusive jurisediction of the Fed
eral courts, are entirely built upon the
theories and principles of the civil law.
In consideration of these facts, it is
but meet that some one of the learned
civilians of this State should be placed
upon the Supreme Benoh of this coun
try. We are convinced that such an ap.
pointment would be to the advantage of
the profession by adding to its highest
court a new source of learning and of I
inquiry.
INOT PARALLEL OASES.
The New York Srm of the lath inst,
says:
It sl a dreadful state of affairs ln Mieslsslppi
which lets the Chisholm murderers go upOn
imbed. On that point there Is lihttle room for dis
agreement. The looality where euch a crime can
be oommitted with impunity is justly regarded as
a plague spot, unfit for human habitation. Here
in New York, and, indeed, throughout the noun
try, it is hardly mentioned withoet an expression
or abhorrence for suoh a condition of oaliety a.
must exist to secure Immunity to the murderers.
But what have we to boast of in comparlson ?
Is not the Huntington murder still unavenged ?
A young man was mobbed by scores of persons
in a publio highway and in coospicuoue private
grounds. He was tarred and leathered, beaten
and mutilated. Women, some of the elite of the
town among them, came to look with wondering
admiration on the scene. intally the poor fellow
was rowed out to a boat and sunk in the sea, the
briny waters chkling his voice and silencing hil
cries which were only heard by Heaven after that.
Yet thsle great crime remain, unpunished and vir
tually ,upruseouted I
Ohiehot m and Kel, y, Mislsslppi and New
Yorlkl What have we to boast of ?
These are in no respect parallel
oases. The Huntlngton murder was a
brutal affair, without a palliating fea
ture. Dozens equally as brutal occur
in the Northern cities every week and
pollute the columns of nearly every
Northern newspaper, indicating a de
based public sentiment and a very
rotten condition of society. The kill
ingof the Chisholms was certainly a
terrible affair. But in what respect does
it resemble the atrocious and beast
ly murder with which the Sun at
tempts to confound it? In none what
ever. The motive which prompted the
New York outrage sprang from the bas.
eat instincts and fiercest passions of
human nature; the motive of the mob
which slew the Chisholms was the ex
tinction of a band of murderers and des
peradoes who had for years infested
Kemper county, overriding the law,
domineering over the better classes of
the people, assassinating leading clti
zens and fomenting trouble and
murder in the community.
For months and years these men-
licensed assassins we may say-were
under the protection and enjoyed
the favors of the State government.
Their hands, or, worse still, the hands
of their hirelings, were stained with the
blood of several of the best and most
loved oltizens of Kemper. The murder
by them of Col. Gully--the last of a long
series of outrages -provoked the people
beyond endurance. The law had given
them so little protection that they had t
ceased to think of it as an agency for the
punishment of crime and the vindication
of justice, or, indeed, as anything else c
than a mere corrupt political and parti- e
san agency, and, excited to a pitch of r
irresistible fury, they arose in their
strength and wreaked a terrible and t
bloody revenge upon the murderers.
We do not defend the bloody violence i
of the Kemper mob. The carpet-bag C
government had been swept out of ex- ~
istence In Mississippi and the citi
izens of Kemper should have resorted q
to the courts of the State and sought to f
bring the Ohisholms and their confed- o
erates to justice there. But we do say I
that the Mlesissippians who killed the
Ohisholms were not prompted by the
instincts of the murderer or the robber,
as were the wretches who murdered
Huntington. On the contrary, they
were moved to their deed of violence by
the instinct of self-protection aroused to
a pitch of savage fury, and by a purpose,
born of experience of the inefficacy of a
the law, to clear their community of a N
band of murderous desperadoes.
The difference in the two cases the
Sun has cited is this, and it is a very n
broad one: The Huntington murder t
indicates a degraded and brutalized
condition of society, while the Kemper s
affair was the uprising of a community s
against corrupt and imbecile govern- H
ment and the bad and murderous men t
who had long enjoyed immunity under
ts favor. In no civilized or well gov- 8
erned community could a murder like ~1
that of Huntington go unavenged. S
n no community can the participants
n a mob like that of Kemper county be s
punished, bedause the mob was a social a
eruption-the revolt of a community
against evits which government had S
not only failed to correct but had actu- I
ally created and fostered. S
THE DUTY OF TAXPAYERS AND AS
SESSORS.
A friend in the country writes to us
as follows:
I believe that an article from your
pen on the duty of assessors and tax
payers would be of great benefit to our
State at large and result in reflecting
deserved credit on our new State gov
ernment.
Act No. 96, extra session of 1877, de
fines the duties of assessors, but tax
payers in general do not read the acts of
the Legislature, and to them the lessons
of this act are lost. There are many
taxpayers who seem to think, and do
actually say, that a change for the
better in ourt tate governmnt ought
to bring about a redtion in assess
ments. That it will, in due time, effect
a reduction of the rate of taxation is
certain; but, instead of decreasing,
it has increased the value of property
from 25 to 50 per cent. Some people
seem to be unable to understand that a
falsely low estimate of their property
cannot in the long run, reduce thQ
amount of the tax that must be levied
for the support of the government,
since it must necessarily result in in
creasing the rate of taxation, whereas a
true assessment of the property in the
State will not only increase the amount
of the tax, but will effect a reduction of
the rate of taxation.
Whether a piece of property pays
twelve mills on the dollar of its actual
cash value of, say, $10,000, or twenty
four mills on an unfair assessment of
$5003, makes no material difference at
the time of paying it; but an honest
assessment and a low rate of taxation
will most assuredly have a better effect
on capitalists in the West who, to my
own knowledge, have already come
here and sent their agents to look at our
lands and inquire as to their price.
Besides, a fair assessment, with its con
sequent low rate of taxation, will not
only redound to the profit of those who
have lands for sale, but also reflect
credit on our government.
The whole question is so intelligently
and clearly stated by our correspondent
that nothing is left for us to say on the
subject. We might amplify, without im
proving upon, the views expressed in
his letter. We therefore content our
selves with giving to this letter as much
prominence as possible and expressing
the hope that assessors and taxpayers
throughout the State will give heed to
the sound suggestions it contains.
The DEMOonAT ls doing a good servio to the
State by pressing the matter of prosecuting embes.
Elere who have been in office as weal ll others
e guilty of offenses against the law. If a strictex
tmination by the proper authoritles was made
ltnt, the af' irs of public olfiles here during Kel
- logg's relgn, some nice osese of robbery might be
unearthed and the guilty parties punished. The
affaire of the aeste police jury might be over
hauled, and the Blind Asylum and the old Bohool
hoard. All these will furnish ample food for
close inspection.- [Baton Rouge Advocate.
We are rejoiced to find at least one
paper in the country displaying an iun
terest in the prosecution of the political
thieves who, during the past eight
years, have been plundering this State.
The DEMOCRAT began this crusade
against the plunderers of Louisiana
before the adjournment of the Legisla
ture. That body, in the closing days of
the recent session, appointed several
committees to investigate the transac
tions of the departments of the late
usurpation, and much evidence has
been taken. Informations have been
filed before the Superior Criminal Court
against II. C. Dibble, late Assistant At.
torney General, and G. B. Johnson, and
we trust that Kellogg and others of the
gang will be held to account.
Our friend of the Adtvocate should in
vestigate, as far as possible, the matters
to which he refers and publish all the
facts he obtains. We shall be more than
glad to reproduce them here. We are
convinced that the Insane Asylum and
the Blind Asylum constitute rich fields
for investigation, and that, if all the facts
in their management during the last
eight or nine years are brought out, they
will constitute very entertaining read
ing.
TO THE SUMMER TOURIST.
Those of our citizens who are fortunate enough
to be able to se k respite from the labors of the
business season just closed, and to recuperate
their energies at some of the many delightfa
summer resorts to be found in the Northern
States and OCnada, will be glad to learn that the
old favorite Jackson route, under a vigorous and
efficient management, bah become one of the
very best traveling thoroughfares in the country.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been
expended, as we are credibly informed, during'
the past twelve months for new iron and steel
rails, new cross-ties and new bridges, and today
it may be safely said that no road south of the
Ohio river surpases the great Jackson route in
smoothness aend perfect safety. We have had
occasion, during the past few weeks, to travel
quite extensively over that road, and we can thus,
from actual experience, bear witness to its ex
cellence in every particular which goes to consti
tute a good road.
