Martin Law.
The tpleqraph informs as that eitiea" a
New Orleans have appltid at Washstosi
Sfor the proelamation of martial law ia thl
eity. The grievasnees that have led to th
eidstene of such a desire infa ouar midst an
truly seriouas. Year by year our eity asi
our State arefallnginto poverty. Proper
ty is steadily depreelatingin value. Place
that were mortgaged-several years agp amr
not now worts the amount of money thme
loaned upon them with a imargin at tha
time, which it was thought would make the
loan perfecotly safe, and in many.instance
the lenders waould probably not be willing
to aecept the property on condition of re
lesaing theb debtor. g1n every street one see
numbers of buildings for rent, while fie
after fieldon our plantations is throws
out of cultivation. Laborers discharged is
some neighborhoods are erowding-ink
others, and a scarecity of employment ii
gaining headway where lately the great
demand was for laborers.
Every one knows the constant cry that
has goon forth from our population thua
far this winter that there is no business
that there is nothing but lethargy and in
activity, that mu dull a season was never be
fore known in the history of New Orleans
Commerce and industry sink hand in hane
to the depths of ruin. The shipping that
used to crowd our sis or eight miles o
levee front now contents itself with an ooc
cajional wharf here and there, and fiat
bats are broken up in front of the Frencu
Market instead of three miles below.
The cause of all this paralysis that iS
creeping over us with its fell spirit of deso
lation is simply the withdrawal of foreige
capital. "Money makes the mare go," ii
an old saying, and means that the augas
house, the eotton gine, the saw mill, even
the woodman's axe, will cease their noiay
activity and lapse into the silence of nature
unless kept going by money. Foreign
capital built a large portion of this city,
and inda itself bitterly disappointed in the
investment; it has sustained our agricultu
ral efforts, and in many cases struggles in
vain to retrieve itselt from the enauing
embarrassment. Foreign capital appears
to be steadily retreating from our Joan
market, and domestic capital, is becomaing
equally timid. The consequence of all
this, as long as it lasts, will be the con.
tinned decay of our every interest, and the
continued spread of that thriftless air of
ruin which evidently pervades the whole
State.
Now, the question is, what is it that thus
frightens capital away; to which the reply
on everybody's lips is, misgovernment.
There is always an Insecurity of property,
and of capital invested in property, where
the governing power Is alien to the inter
esta of the people, and intent merely on
their plunder. This disposition of a gov
ernment is easily detected. For Instance,
in this State, an issue of bonds in two or
three years increasing our indebtedness by
thirty millions of dollars, a city and parish
increase of perhape as much more, a system
of granting monopoliem to private corpora
tions, of dona'ing public property to pet
railroads and canals, sanitary dodges,-lot
tery privileges and every acheme of money
extortion that human Ingenuity can in
vent, are enough to showeapital that it is
in the position of ,the bhare before the
hounds.
As if this were not sufficienlet, direct and
Indirect taxation in multiplied enormous
ly. The profits of real estate investment
are eaten up In tax bills, greatly augment
ed by costs and damages which the laws
are cunningly framed to create. The land
swarms with tax collectors, and yet the
people cannot And oat what they owe or
whore or when they must pay it. Hun
dreds and thousands of taxpayers are re
turned from the various parishes as delin
quents, simply because nobody ever called
on them fir their taxes, and why !-be
cause for each and every delinquent re
turned on the list, one dollar goes to the
parish recorder and two dollars go to the
State Auditor. Why, the government
treats the people as publio enemies and as
the legitimate victima of extortion. And
all this comes upon a community just re
coveriog from the complete prostration of
a long and unsuccessful war, eandtrpgling
with the dificulty of a rew and very Im
perfect labor asstem.
frutrse than all the license system is
invented and applied like the torture. The
bonds flnally sell for little or nothing, di
rect taxation, no matter how enormons,
yields too little to satisfy the greed of our
despotie masters, and they are actually
ashamed to lIcrease it In the face of the
civilized world. What then? Money must
be had In some way. Licenses! Ltcense
them ! Every poor teamster of the pine
woods, with his yoke of oxen or span of
lean mules, must pay forty dollars for the
priviloge of doing the few jobs that may
yield him one or two hundred dollars in
course of the-year; a little neighborhood
grist mill must pay two hundred dollars
per year; the, lame for a little saw mill run
by water power, which does the sawing for
a backwoods neighborhood whenever the
little stream on which it is located is not
too dry ; the same for any poor colored man
who bas two or three children to help him
and can make a few bricks as the only pro
duct of the miserable land on which he is
leate.d. Y,:twi buaadred dollars a JAw
he muatpy les pfor lhs auing a piee a
lead which he auet postsibly sell for thai
muhel money. "

are gradually LtAe the.geoese that lays
the goldena eggs. People vefase to haul fol
their nelighbors, littl* ~shoo shut up, little
mills hbaush up, little briekyards break up,
little plantations grow ap (in bushes) and
the eesntry gets to looking so lonesome
sal woibegnea that capital becomes
frightened and seanmpers o
Now, it Is naturally painful to our peo.
pie to fee a magnfleenat country like this,
with fa glorioaus climate, falling- into decay
and lapsing into a wilderness. They know
full well that all tbe elements of wealth
and prosperity arehete and that they do not
need even encouragement, but only to be
set-stone, In order to bloom forth in every
form of national greatness. It is no won
der, then, that they want to get rid of a
government which causes all this rain,
which plunders our people, represses
every industry, destroys every source of
credit and drives away capital. They have
no hope of getting rid of the Governor by
their own strength, considering the legal
fortificeations he iss built around himself,
and-the Governor Is the Government.
They therefore, say to the national
power, Protect as with martial law. We
are tired of self-government when one man
does all the voting. We welcome the mus
ket so long as the butt of it is on his neck.
We do not fear the sword, for it is not as
sharp as carpet-bag canning, nor the
bayonet, for it is not as searching as the
tax-collector's signature.
The Situation.
The great and practical question of the
situation is whether the, general govern
ment can n *any shape interfere to relieve
our community of the incubus of misgov
ernment which weighs upon it so fearfully.
The old man of the sea who rides on our
shoulders woot get drunk and be shaken
of because he drinks nothing bat money
and his appetite for that is insatiable.
How then can General Grant get us rid of
our Governor.
It is evident that he most, in the interest
of the Republican party, be extreznly-anx
Ions, nearly as much so, indeed, as we our
selves are, that we should be rid of War
moth, for any further tolerance by that
party of such outrages as have marked his
reign in Louisiana, would throw upon it
the moral responsibility of that whole
crtmlnal record.
Martial law is called for and, would cer
tainly afford some relief, but that cannot
be a permanent arrangement and would
leave the same civil officers in position. A
reconstruction of the State, placing it un
der a military governor, would be still
much better, but that would require an act
of Congress and another reconstruction
would fad a very unfavorable current to
counteract. Certainly if it could be done, it
would go far towards re-establishing the
credit and }*etoring the prosperity of the
State. The military supervision and con
trol of such a-man as eitherGeneral Canby,
General Hanoock or General Emory would
insure honesty and economy in the dis
charge of publio functions. We can
scarcely hope for such action, however,
under the worn-oat name of reconstruao
tion. But cannot something of a similar
nature in result, though based on a differ
ent principle, be effected
The Constitution of the United States,'
guarantees to every State a republican
form of government and, we boldly and
cofdently say that Louisiana has not a re
publican form of government. She scarce
ly has it in name and not at all in sub
stance. The constitation of the State pro
vides for the exercise of the right of
asuffrage by its citizens and the elec
tion law of the State deprives thei of
it. The Governor has the right to ignore
and reject the vote of any citizens, of as
many of them as he may choose to reject,
of all of them if he so wills it. Is that a
right to vote when your vote can be thrown
out at the mere caprice of another man ?
It follows then that one man who has this
right to manipulate the votes of the people
and reject them If he chooses is really the
only voter In the State. His one will may
elect to every ofice. He is, therefore,
more than dictator, more than Emperor,
more than Czar or Sultan. There is no
despot In the world whose despotism is
confrmed to him by voluntary written
law, made by the people themselves. We
should say no other despot, for virtually
and practically there is no other ruler liv
ing in the civilized world who rules auto
cratically and singly of his own will so
completely as Governor Warmoth of Lon
Isiana.
Look at the case of Wheyland, the per
son who was killed the other day. This
individual was a creature or tool of War
moth. He was sent to Sabine Parish sev
eral days before the last election, seven
days it is said, as registrar of votes. He
was an utter stranger, but boldly announced
himself as candidate for election to the
legislature. His-pponent, an old citizen
got nearly all the votes, yet he returned
himself as elected, and Governor Warmoth
manipuiated rte votes so as to suoetain
him. It was, therefore, Warmoth who
*lsleed as; h ear "66 Waii h, i.t i
ais satd sar'wen be ippr e, eteored to
i the legslature of his owa sole willha total
costempt of the popular ete, a sseaslent
number of his pereonal frieads and retatin
ogive hr i oleos majority in the
legislature Mir ibe pattleg threoth of any
scheme. The legislatare is, therefsre,
bet a retea of his will, with merely a su-
ient element of opposition to keep np ap
pearance. Ours- ia, therefore, essential
lyr one man government.
Now we contend in all earnestness, that
this Ida mere -socketiy of representative
or republican government. It is the car
case without the spirit, retaining nothing
of the original structure but the offenlsive
ness of Its decay. If the Federal Govern
ment really means to guaranty the republi
canism of our State (Government, let it Im
periously demand that the suffrage of the
votes shall be respected and their votes
counted ; let it disperse the miserable
throng of preteufis and hypocrites who
meet here and call themselves a legislature
by the grace of Warmoth, and let it de
clare that the election law whieh provides
for such a frand is a disgrace and a nullity.
A military government could then re
appropriately establishecd here until an
election should have been held under
proper anspices and until a new legislature
should have repealed that obopxious and
unrepublican act called the election law.

and carefolly quarantine all infected districts.
The Cincinnati Gazette, in commenting upon
the resolution of the Chicago Common Conncil
directing the Mayor to withhold licenses from
newspoys and sboebhcks, except those who
can produce certifcates of good moral charao
ter, says: " It is a shame to require neoaboys
'of good moral character to sell such papers as
those of Chicago represent each other to be.
Let the Council require good character of the
editors, and suppress the Chicago newspapers
altogether."
Unsophisticated male editors in St. Louis
express astonishment at the diabolical inge
nuity of a lady witness in one of their courts
who is reported to have said, " Give me the
least grain of truth for a basis and I can ruin
the character of any woman in the world." In
this city sech a statement would be regarded
as an admission of gross incompetency, as ex
perts with anything like a respectable visiting
list can and do daily ruin the reputations of
their acquaintances without the least grain of
truth for a baeis.-N. Y. World.

and rushing, "Mac" anad hi friend fored
their way into the gallery of the House of
Lords. They were--hardliy seated when
they saw the Reverend Luke walkting up
the floor, aceompanied by an elderly gen
tleman, with the ugliest nose anrd the worst
fitting pair of plain troweers in the king

It was Lord Broughar. All the evening
Hisa Lordihip appeared to -be munch more
attentive to his Aerican friend than to
the proceedings of the House. At last
lon after midnight, Broughain arose aon

close he shook hands with the Reverend
Luke, who bowed and took his leave.

"It was a very' simple affair." replied
Lukre, "hardly worth mentioning; bua, as
you seem rather carious I will tell you
about it, though it is hardly worth while.
I walked up to the Peers' entrance, where
I was, of course, srtoppcd by an official.
'This is the Peers' entrance,' he said ; 'you
can't pass here; if you have an order for
the gallery, go to the proper door.' ''I un

Beg your pardon. Passr on, if you pleo.'
i was stopped onceor twice." continued
the Reverend Luke ; " but IJust, said 'My
card has been sent to Lord Bronglham.'
Nothing moss was wanted. So I waited a
few minutes In the ante-room. A gentlea
man came in reading a eard through eye
glrasses. I knoew from the pictures I had
seen that this was Brougha, anod stepped
forward to meet him. 'The Honorableand
Reverend Luke ralfton, of Aimerica, I
presuine,' said he. 'Yes, my Lord,' I re
plied, 'and as an American I ask youl
Lordship's courtesy. Tn America no name
is more highlyt honored than that of Hen

"At lans," continued the Reverend Lauke
without even winking as he told the story,
" I sawr that the sesion was drewing to a

Brougham, 'I had understood that your

was not misinformed; for if I go backl to
America without having heard a speech

have failed inL attaining one great object of

Broogham, 'I had not Intended to speak
to night but as it will gratify you, I will
do so with pleaure.'
"And so, concluded the Reverend Luke,
"Brougham made the speech which youn

DEaTS or vian MoaT REv. Da. BRADY],
Bodieo or Poru.-rWe sincerely regret
having to aonnonce the desth of the Most
Rev. Dr. Brady, which took elaed on the
2d ult., at Ainein lee Rains, in IFrsnce. This
venerable p relate had attained the patriar
ehat age of eighty years, aed died after a
life spent in promosin; the glory of God
and the welfare of his fellew-ian. He
studied hbs nourse of theology in France,
and went among the frt missoner ao the
Isle of Bourbon There he labored for six
teen years, and converted net loe than
twenty thousand of the natives. He then
visited his native country for a short time,
from whence he went to rome, and wa
thre consecrnhated Bishop of Perth, Il West
ern Austtrali. There aeso he labored most
indefatigably and sucoasfuioly for the dif
fusion of rel and civilizaction among a
beglected andl hiigorant people. He built
cnhrches, founded convent. and schools,
and was untiring in his exertiouse to make
the light of religion and learning cise and
enlighten that portion of Ch rles's rold en
troeted to his care. After his retunm to
Ireland his zeal and piety continued un
abated, while his affability and courteous
manners won the love and esteem of all
who had the pleaunre of being acquarinted
writh him.
