•tste ei in this direction is an

the recentreimoval of Bovee from
thiL pst of Secretary of State,

Heie urrent properly ex
:bdis tis Democratic doctrine,
i't says, "There is no discre
i 9-off l action except it be
-speelallysallowed by law." Mani
festly, the exercise of an unlim
'iteiiiedSretion-such as that ex
.l" :by Warmoth in his re
Bsl of Bovee-is the preroga
.tirveof ;the sovereign, which, in
Pnblheo is, simply and exclh
i7ycthe people. Warmnoth had
i",i idbw of authority for dis
im this case. His cornm
n tpanto see that the laws are
esd, contains no stipulation
iV~ kr, either express-or im
Sdrranting him in the re
'.ml of ian officer of equal dig
rjt, rights and responsibilities,
so. far. as: the principal is con
eerned, with himself.
='Ifthe Governor, upon his own
showing, can eject by force the
Secretary of State, (and that
with force not recognized by the
ltpQi tutioii.) why may he not,
e'qual propriety and legality,
jct every official in the State
Whynmay he not, with his Me
tropolitans, even break up the
GU(~6rl Assembly? Not a mem
ier' f that bo'dy has more claims
1 nity from, Executive in
teiepe than the Secretary of
Ste.,: If they. violate the Con
asbbtitlon, their liability to Execu
t14e dfcitation and removal is just
toe .'i4me as that of a State
oiftcer who violates one of the
State statutes. They are part of
the legislative branch of the gov
ei~hient, as the Governor is only
~~art of the Executive branch
of the same. It one of the mem
baers. of the Executive branch
'may remove another mecmber of
the same branch; why may he
'dft also remove a member of the
lekisative, or of the jndfcial
branch of the government And
why may.he not remove all the
members of both branches, and
thus become Governor, General
Assembly and 'Judiciary, all in
one?
There is no higher offense than
a deliberate violation of the fund
amental law of the State. No
public servant has warrant for
saying that that instrument is
imperfect. and I will act without
its sanction. it is the People's
chart; it is to their servants an
aggiegation of sacramental ad
monitions. It contains all that
these servants are required to
perform what it does not con
tain, is beyond their power to
put there, and, tousturp, is trea
son to their principals.
In this case, it in no way
palliates \Varmoth's usurpation
that Bovee wilfully and wrong
fully promulgated a bill of the
legislature as the law of the State.
The remedy for such wvrong-doing
was ample under tihe jurisdiction
of the Courts; and so it is, we
opine, for any illegal act Bovee
might have committed. Certain
ly, neither the State nor any in
dividual could have been bound
by an act illegally promulgated.
Why, increase tihe embarrass
ment, as Warmoth has( done, by
usurping authority for which the
Constituition gives ino warrant'?
The question of the validity of
the Act remains unsettled still;
while to this is added a legisla
tive embarrassment, a grave out
-gu, an unnecessary expeues
and many other difficulties whol
ly nneoessary,isimply, as we be
'~H~re, to gratify the personal andd
political ambition of the adven-
turer who now presides in the
Executive Chair of the State.
This usurpation of power by
Gov. Warmothbin- other times,
would have produced and up
rising and a popular indignation
that would have driven even him
into exile. As the times are, he
moves quietly on,- and little rs
said, or thought of the sacrilege
of which he has been guilty.
But, let the people beware, and
not wink at gross violations of
their sovereign authority. The
time may come when they will
reflect, in bitterness of soul, how
s true it is, that "ETERNA'L VIL:I
i LAN(CE IS THE iSItIOE OF LIl nERTYi!"
S.Judge Wylie, of the Supreme
Court of the District of Colum
bia, decides that the power to
impose either a corporation or
I property tax "may possibly be
t implied from the terms of the
general (Government but the
Spower to forbid a citizen from
I following any lawful occupation,
I unless upon payment of a tine
for his license, and, if the fee be
not paid, to subject him to fine
and imprisonment. is not an in
cident attaching necessarily to
any charter for municipal pur
poses."
Such a view of the powers of
municipal corporations practical
ly denies them compulsory meauns
to collect corporation licenses.
The Abbeville Flag, one of
:the "official" journals of the
State, and a faithful expounder
_ of "loyal" doctrines, has made
an analysis of the character of
the Monroe Intelligencer. The
Flag gives the result as folloi's:

not sustain a great city. The'
pride of every Louisianuianl, Nevw
Orleans may go forivard in en
teiprises to incrtease her corn
merce, her wealth 'and her popl
lation, reasonably assured that
the whole State will aid her in
the work. New Orleans has
none but friends and supporters
among the real citizens of Louisi
ana. As one of these, we not ice
with pleasure the movement now
oil foot ill New Orleans to in
augurate cheap freight lines on
the Mississippi, for the transpor
tation of cotton, sugar, &c., to be
,composed of tow-boats and iron
or wooden barges. 'We do not
doubt the feasibility of such an
enterprise, nor that it will great
ly enhance the trade and corn
mercial magnitude of New Or
leans. This plan of transport
ing freight is undoubtedly less
expensive than passenger packets
employing large crews, paying,
heavy insurance and requiringj
such heavy outlays for tine
cabins, fturniture, fuel, &e. And
beside this, it will prove more re
liable, more accommodating, and
fitr less expensive in cost and re
p'irs. The experiment, we be
lieve. is, therefore, certain to
prove successfiul.
But New Orleans needs some
thing .beside barge lines. First
and most prominent among her
needs, is a thorough reforum of
her commercial system. As it
now is, this system looks almost
entirely to the aggrandisement
of the merchant. Ingerinity and
indolence have exhausted their
resources upon it, in the shape of
extras, contingencies, commis
sions, inspections and other like
cumbersome taxes upot corn
merce. The o141 plan of commis
sion business and cotton fatctor
age is practically exploded, so
far as the produneer is concerned.
Hlie no longer deals with a New
Orleans house, but with his
home merchant, who deals with
New Orleans in bulk. Still, the
old plan of business is kept up
by the factor. His expenses and
risks are reduced, but not so his
charges. His "account current"
contains exactly the saule col
unmns of figures, items and totals,
as it did twenty years ago-in
fact, the items are more nnmer
ous than they were then.
Againt The per cent charged
by New Orleans business men,
for profits, is too much. tf -they

that they arei doing a" strictly

their energy and activity in hand
ling money rapidly-we venture
to assert that the cities of St.
Louis, Cincinnati and New York
will soon find a rival for South
ern trade whose advantages they
cannot outstrip. The curse of
New Orleans, after its self-comn
placency, is its indolence and
want ~f business foresight. its
capitalists are intensely exclu
sive and dead-slow in the race
for supremacy. Its lmerchauts
are veritable Miecawhers--ilways

The Horrors of Fire in Wisconsin.!
A Correspondent of the Mill-i
waukee Bent erl writes as follows, 1
2onceriding the destruction of the
town ofl Peshtig'o, ()contocon,lty,
WVisconsin:
The village of Peshigo is burnt
to the ground, and from 1000 to
1500 persons are out of homes
and elmploytltent. The fire was
seen last night first at 8:30 o'clock,
anld at 10 o'clock every building
was on fire, together with the
great I'eshtigo Manutfacturing
company's pail and tub factory.
The wind caine from the south
west, and was heard coming an
hour before it burst upon the
town, and many were awakened
from sleep with barely time to
hasten to the river and sink them
selves in the water. to save their
lives. The flatnes rolled moun
tain high, andswept every bnild
ing, stable and fence, and left a
scene most horrible to behold.
Mr. .1. .1. Tantr nearly perished
in saving his fitinily, and lost
three in the flames, and Mr.
Reebe's tfamily, one child, and
some one took this child to the
river. The whole town ran for
the river, hanging on to the logs
and booms, and had l'iequently to
duck their heads to save their
lives. As many as seventy-five
are supposed to have been burned
to death. Children and mothers,
and husbands and wives are sep
arated by the fire king, never to
meet again. The people havp
been filighting for two weeks the
sugar hush south and west of
town,-and then the tire king
moved on the town blowing great
billows of flame. The five story
building of the 'eshtigo Maun
factory company was lost, with
all the stock and machinery and
stores and warehouses, and the
Peshtigo house, all the stores and
property, to the amount of five or
ten millions. I just hear of the
death of seventy-five persons,
who could get no water, and were
strangled and burned to death.
Horses, cattle and wagons, and
all movable property, were burnt,
and Imany iare onl board this boat,
the St. .To, with heads burnt, and
eyes burnt out, and ears off.
Some save thenmselves by hiding
in wells, and burying themselves
in the sand, and in one case five
women perished by a log turning,
when lhey all sank to rise no
more. Fires are raging near this
place, and one hundred or more
are ilghting the flames off, and all
men who can are helping their
neighboring families, and many
entire families are burnt. The
loss cannot be counted.
The President Speaks.
PoirrLAND, Me., Oct. 20.
President Grant had a showy re
ception here. In responding to a
serenade, he said:
"I have a vivid recollection of
visiting your city six years ago.
This is the second time I have
been in your city, and I am much
pleased with the reception here,
as well as at other places I have'
visited in your State. Ift I do
not come oftener than I have
heretofore, I shall not make ina
ny more visits here befotre I shall
be quite an old man."
In compiling the next "U1. S.
Speaker" the editor should find
space for this masterly effort of
the l'residential brain.

sippi are compelled to take sound

The Inharmonious Repunlieans.
The Picayune, of the 24th, con
tains the following rather discour
aging news for the few Republi
cans, scattered here and there in
North Louisiana, who are trying
to keep up a show of harmony!
in the party ranks. These be
nighted gentlemen will be wholly
undeceived when the legislature
meets in .January:
The only subject of political
interest anywhere discussed is
the alleged new departure de
fined at the Carrollton nmeeting.
The charges made by both fac
tions of the party in power against
each other are bitter and unre
lenting. The effect of the meet
ing is certainly to divide their
own party. Not even the Re
publicaus are ready for a black
man's party and a .white manll's
party. But Lieut. Gov. I)unn
denies that he advocated any
such thing. He merely advised
his adherents to stick to their
race and color, and surrender no
advantage they acquired by office.
He is not insensible of the fact,
he says, that to excite the animos
ities of race would be the death
blow to the black man's advance
ment. On the contrary, the other
wing of the party accused him
of having said these things and
even more bitter denunciations
than any that were repeated. In
the meantime the political caul
dron waxes hot, and it is curious
to note how the members of the
pyirty array themselves on either
side of the combatants. There
are mixed colors on both sides,
and neither speak of the other in
amiable language. What the end
will be of course surpasses our
ken to predict.
The Canvass of 1871.
The St. Louis Republican sug
gests that noDemocratic candidate
be nominated for President in
187.1, but that the fight be left be
twen Grant and any other Re
publican who may choose to enter
the field against him. It is no
use to discuss this suggestion.
It can not and will not be
adopted. The fact that such a
course worked well in Missouri at
a State election proves nothing.
There alarge portion of the Dem
ocrats were disfranchised and not
allowed to vote, and the issue be
tween the Republican candidates
was one for and the other against
on that question. But in the
United States generally there is
no such condition of things. An
organization which numbers its
millions of voters, and which has
a majority of the white people of
the country, is not going to sur
render in advance upon a mere
suggestion that its efforts may
not be crowned with success. Its
political history, its principles
and its future alike forbid it. It
will at the proper time have its
candidates and make its best
fight in their behalf-a fight the
Republican (not being a prophet
or a son of a prophet) can not
say will not be a success. At any
rate, the chance of beating Grant
with a candidate nominated by a
Democratic Convention is a great
deal better than to trust to its be
ing done by any Republican In
dependent, who could not begin
to poll in such an event the
strength of our organization. We
give in another column the high
ly sensational article of the Re
publican in which its reasons for
the dismemberment of the party
are set forth.-Cin. Enquidrer.
Th'lle Oriin of the Chicago Fire.
(iCiticlltt i uLLzette Cor.
I paid a visit Wednesday even
ing to Pat. Leary, No. 137 De
Koven street, in whose stable the
fire Sunday night started. His
house, a one story frame, stands,
but his stable is gone. Five
cows and one horse lie side by
side where it stood. Mrs. Leary
kept a small dairy, and people
say that she was milking a cow
that night by the light of a kero
sene lamnllp, and that the cow
kicked the lamp over and started
the fire. She says this is not
true, andl that she was in bIed at
thie time; besides, she uses
sperm oil, and not kerosene in
her lamps. She is intensely Irish.
She says the house opposite and
across the ally north was unoccn
pied, andl she thinks some one
fired the shed on thie back of
that. Many of the neighbors
atflirm thIe story of the cow and
the kerosene lamp. I don't know
how they can be certain about
that, for nio wituess has turned
up. and Mirs. Leary says she
would not be milking iL cow at
that time of night.- Another
story is that across the alley
from Mrs. Leary's some Bohe
mian tailors got to quarrelling
and upset a kerosene lamp among
a lot of shavings, and sco started
the conflagration.

New York 1Noney Karket.
The disaster at Chicago has
trained the money market of
Kew York to the utmost tension'
bhat it can stand short of a panic
tate. At the time of the fire the
banks of New York held but lit
tle above their lawful reserve,
.ud several millions less than at
the same time in 1870.
The withdiawal of money to
Chicago, thus far has been only
a few millions, but the New York
banks are scarcely able to stand
any more. It is estimated that
fully twenty-five millions in cash.
must flow to the burned city, and
New.Orleans is also drawing con
siderable amounts to move the
cotton crop.
To preserve the New York
banks intact during the Iext six
ty days will therefore require con
siderable leniency on the part of
the Comptroller of the Currency,
and munch aid from Secretary
Boutwell in heavy purchases of
bonds. Both of these officials
will no doubt do all they can do
to ease the money market, and a
panic will thus be averted. The
position, however. is a very grave
one.-Picayune.
We are always prone to exag
gerate the extent of calamities.
In the case of Chicago the esti
mate of loss is certainly far be
yond the actual figure. Accord
ing to the last report of the
Board of Trade of Chicago, the
whole assessment of the city for
1871, of real and personal prop
erty, is but $275,000,000, of which
ffty millions are of personal
property. The real estate includes
buildings, and is assessed $225,
000,000. Two-thirds of these val
uations would be $180,000,000;
but from this must be deducted
the value.of the ground, and of
the materials left by the fire,
which would reduce the actual
loss to about one hundred mil
lions. This is on the estimate of
a destruction of two-thirds of
the city.
