TO OUR FRIENDS. The DZYOOnAT has Just added to its offlie a new and complete Steam Job Printing depart ment, with all the latest and most desirable Im provements in types, rules, borderc, etc. We are now fully prepared to compete with any job p.rntlng establishment in the South. We can turn out, at the shortest notice, anything from a newspaper or a book to a lady's visiting card, in the best style of the art. We shall devote special attention to commercial printing and to the printing of lawyers' briefs. We earnestly solicit the support of our friends in our progrese alve efforts. NOTICE. As there are e presen nuimbers of persons of the poorer classes out of employment, and who have not the means to advertise their wants, the DamoonAA will heres fier publish such "Want" notices free of charge, when they do not exceed i. length three lines. This will include adver- I tisements of those desiring the services of ser- I anuts or of any lass of employes, and will also include l.vertlsements of houses to'rent, where the monLily rent does not exceed $25. In adopt tng this plan, the managers of the DIEMOIRAT feel that they will greatly benefit those not financial ly able to make their wants known, and will be servyng the poor of the city who are out of em bloWtfent or in quest of homes. The intense and continuous heat of the I st two weeks has its parallel in the last weeks of July and August, 1872, when a number of deaths of prominent citizens were ascribed to the effects of the long prolonged heat. We have heard of no mortality resulting from the like cause this summer, and as the period for the cessation.of this oppressive condition of the atmosphere appears to have been reached, we indulge the hope of an early and agreeable chaung in our weather. It is a ixmarkablo feature in the present political situation that all the leading moas ures of 'resident Hayes' ,Administration and policy are bitterly opposed by the most con spicous chiefs and journals of the Republi can plarty. The New York Times, by far the ablest of the Republican journals, and which is regarded as the organ of the party and even of Mr. Hayes' Administration, has as sitled with great bitterness the several mneas ures to which Mr. Hayes has pledged hiti self, to wit.: 1. The support of appropriations by the Federal government to rebuild and keep in good condition the levees of the Mississippi. 2. The granting of aid by the Federal gov ernmebt to the Texas Pacific Railroad. 3. The fair share of the South in the appro priations for internal improvements. 4. The vigorous suppression of raids on the Texas frontier, and the pursuit and punish aenzt of the raiders on Mexican soil. 8. The extension of the subsidy appropria tions for mail ateamers communicating with foreign ports, to steamers plying between this port and 8outh American ports. All these measures, which are favored by the Presikent, are bitterly oppo.sel by such journals as the Now York Times and (bim ,ereiai Advertiser, the Chicago Tribune, and such "statesmen" as Conkling, Ilaine, Mor ton, Chandler, et al. In this state of politii it would appear to be highly necessary for Mr. Hayes to deter mine whether he belongs to and is the chief of a party which is overwhelmingly opposed to every measure, policy, act and sentiment he has thus far declared himself in favor of. The C.zar Nicholas, when sorely pressed by the allied armies in theCrimea and lamenting the blunders of some of his generals, ex claimed: "Ahi! I have two generals that I can rely on.'" "And who are they. Hire?" asked old Gorts chakoff. "They are Gehns. .anmuary and Febru ary." From the present aspect of affairs in Tur key it looks as if the Sultan had great needl of relying on other generals than his various Pashas, and that (Gns. Famine and l)evasnsr tion would prove far more reliable to difend his empire than any he has yet sent against -i4nvading Russians. far the greatest exploit and most ditli cult undertaking of the Russians will ib to feed and their armies in the country oc'cupied by 'ti, having but a single rail road to transport their supplies from the far interior and being 'lout water transporta tion to their great delpbt supplies in the South -Odessa. This situation ought to im the Russians forward with great gy an ty to their objective point. T cann.at bayo nets In the field are less dangerous . I starvation, privation and sickness whicl apon their ranks. RETURNING BOARD EPISTLES. Gen. Tom Anderson, late of the Returning Board, has printed two letters in the Now Orleans TimesR, one in reply to the observa tions of the DEMOeIRAT on Wells' letter to the New York IHerall, and one in response to the recent letter of District Attorney Finney. The object of Gen. Anderson's epistles is to sustain Wells' declaration that "the Grand Jury absolutely refused to find an Indictment, which drove the District Attorney to the necessity of filing an information." Why Anderson persists in uphold ing this statement of Wells' it is difficult to understand. The DEMOb'RnAT stated very clearly the rea son why the Grand Jury (lid not indici, but instead directled the District Attorney to file information. Wells and Anderson afflirm that the Grand Jury positivel y refused to find an In dictment because there was not suRflicent evi demno before them to warrant them in doing so. In refutation of this dogmatic statement we here reproduce the note of the foreman of the Grand Jury to the District Attorney: GRAND JUnY RooM, i New Orleans, June 27, 1877. The Grand Jury respectfully recommends that the honorable courtwill instruct the Dl)is trict Attorney to file the proper informations against J. Madison Wells, Thomas C. Ander son, G. Casanavo and Louis M. Kenner, mem bers of the late Returning Board, for perjury, forgery and altering the returns of tthe ar ish of Vernon and other parishes of the Ktate. .JOHN A. O'BRIEN, Foreman of the Grand Jury. Now if the Grand Jury had not sufficient evidence before them to warrant an indict ment, why did they direct the District Attor ney to file Information and prosecute the members of the Returning Board for perjury, forgery, etc. ? But this is not the only utter ance we have had from the Grand Jury show ing that the evidence before then- was full and irrefutable. A few days ago Mr. B. M. Turnbull, a member of the Grand Jury, and a well known citizen of New Orleans, said in an interview with a representative of the DEM OCRAT : After all the data that I haltve Iecome pos sesod of in the effort to bring them (the metu ners of the Returning Board] before the bar of justice to answer for their misdeeds. I think that it was impossible for-the officers of the law or the Grand Jury not to Sllave insti tuted these proceedings without rendering thenselvhs guilty of condoning with perjury and felony. The unsupported declarations of Wells and Anderson that the Grand Jury refused to in dict them because there was no evidence to justify such a step are utterly worthless in view of these facts. The members of the Returning Blaord were not indicted because, as the, DEMOcRAT statel, it was thought some technical obljection might be made to its author:i 'and an effort madle to quash the indlitments on the ground that they were not found by a Ioegnl Grand Jury. Wells and Anderson boith seem anxious to inurprre-ite pu ic,-min wi-th -th belief thrat the action of the District Attorney was prompted ,y some doep, hidden and sinister motive. We d.o inot ih.lievo( that either of them is sincere in this. They are bioth familiar with suction 2140 of the Revised Shttutes, which subjects members of the Grand Jury to severe and ignoble penalties if they fail to present to their own body persons whom they know to be accused of crimes. Wells and Anderson also know that, every moan, woman ald chlild in the parishl of (r leans have iheard them aucused of perjury and forgeury; they know that nini'-tantihs of this cmmunity, nay of tihe people of the Statte believe that they have committ.l t hose crim:ee; indeed they know that millions of people throughout the United States believe them to be guilty of perjury anud forgery, If Gen. Anderson writes another letter to the Times, we ask him to answer us categori cally, if he does not know that this belief In his own and his associates criminality per vades the whole community, nay the whole country, to such an extent that the name of Anderson, or of Wells, or of Cassanave, or of Kenner, cannot be ientiolned in any neigh borllhood of the American Union without sug gesting the thought of perjury and forgery. iThen, with the duty of the Grand Jury so clearly prescribed by the law and enjoined under the severest penalties, and with the suspicion and belief of the criminality of the members of the Returning Board pervading every household of the land, what miserable skulking; what pitiful sneaking and crawling it is on the part of Wells and Anderson i) at 1templ, to accuse the law officers of an improper or extrnnenous motive, or, indeed, of any othmer motive than the plain and obvious one, in prosecuting them! Crime is always hideous; it is always to be condemned; the safety of society requires that it shall be itlwiays, when possible, punished. .Yet when it is accompanled by courage it loses something of its repulsiveness; the higher quality lends It a mnasure of dignity, and under some cironmstances excites our sympathies and compIls our mercy. But when it stands forth in its own nake(lness, without even pluck to palliate it; when it crawls and squirms In cowardice and deceit, it is intolerable, and all honest men are promlptedl to scourge it out of sight and into the jails an.l penitentiaries with whips of scorpions. We shall not waste t(ime and space in fol lowing (ien. Anderson through his technical ities and qulblhles. Whether he and his asso .iates have hbeen indicted or are accused on information filed by the District Attorney; whether the crime with which they. stand charged he perjury. or forgery, or the publica lion of a forged paper, is of little con sequence; he can settle the manner of the accusation and the designation of the crime to suit his own fancy. The stubborn fact which Interests the public. and which will sooner or later chiefly interest him, is that he, Wells, Casenave and Kenner are under bonds to appear at the next meet ing of the Superior Criminal Court and be tried for a crime. the penalty for which is imprisonment in the penitentiary. We doubt if the (eneral can write down or around this fact. JUDICIAL ABSENTEEISM. With the enornlously enlarged jurisililetion of the United States courts in this State great inconvenience result.ts frol tlle non-resiilenlee of the judges of thlmes courts. This inconve nlince is painfully illustrated by several re cent cases wherein interlocutory orders have been required to afford relief to parties and claimants of property under seizure. Appli Ieat.ions to bond have to be addressed to the iudge of one of these courts and when these applications are opposel judicial discussions and contests arise which demand a hearing before the judge. We have now three of these ases demanding the presence and hearing of t judge. The first is the unhappy affair of ihe seizure of a great many logs in Caleasieu which had been prepard for shipment and 4l but are claimed by the United States a: property unlawfully taken from public lands and subject to confiscation. Seizures have been made of said logs and a large and expen sive force of United States omffcials has taken possession of said property and now holds the same, thereby depriving several hundred la borers of the means of subsistence from the proceeds of the same. Tihe claimants of these logs deny the sworn allegation of the govern ment official that they were cut from public land. In this stateb of the controversy both par ties could obtain relief by a bonding of the property, the I'nitcid States being saved the heavy costs of holding andi guarding the same, and the claimants, restoredl to the pos session (of the property, would no longer is dleprived of their only means of live_ liihoo. The delay in obtaining the relearn on Iond, which can only be granted by the judge, creates the difficulty which han operated so unjustly and htarshlly upon a largo class of meritorious people. Were either of the United States judges here pre(sent, the matter could be arranged. lint, with both judges more than a thousand miles away, it cannot be done. Similar difficulties have arise n in cnection with the seizure of a ship laden with cotton which caught fire on its way down the river and Is claimed by the salvors, who have ,ailed the same. The proprietors of the ship and cotton desire to obtain possession of their property and have applied to bond the same, so that their trade and business may not be interrupted and the rights of all parties be properly secured. They, too, are com polled to go to the extreme North to ob tain a hearing on their application. It is easy to estimate the large damage which may result to all parties from the delay and ob stacles in the way of obtaining this relief. Again, in the case of Mrs. Gaines the de fendants against whom judgments have been rendered fe4 their whole property have applied to the judge for appeals, and asked that he determine the conditions of their bonds as to amount of the same. The judge has required such application to be nmade within sixty days after the adjournment of the court. Otherwise the judgments are to become final and eigible. It is diflicult to perceive how the jud e' can satisfactorily hear and determine their applications, without being present to examine the reports of the Master in Chancery and investigate the validity and solvency of the bondsmen. These incidents ought to demonstrate the great ne.l there is of sonic amnendlnent of our judicial system wllidh will secure the presence of some represenlltative of the United States judicial authority here to grant inter vening and relief orders in chambers duringl the vacation of tile courts. Ouir State courts are always represented, through a require nment of the law, Iby solme one of the judges with concurrent jumrisdictin andl full power to grant such relief in all suits and proceedings beniire them. Now that by acts of Con gress so large a portion ,f their jurisdiction ! has been absorbed by the Federal courts, it is certainly due to our people that there should be no suclh hiahts in the e'xscrcis. of that juris uliction as is createo.i by t hie non-residenmc of tihe judges, who alone are i invested with the sam-n". S3OIAL MORALS AT THE NORTH. 'To what ie Iw depth the see;!il morals of the Nirtlherir people have slllk is tshownr hy lthe nmIIicIroui aiiiI full replor. of ithe va rious suits with which the paper; are tilled. The poisoning of wives tIy Ihusbands; the dli vorce suits; the cruel b'eating of children; the displlutes over theI estates of deId moin; seductions of womten; the tla.scivious noitions of Christian ministers and ltie ra~icalities of graceless youth in ciireuriventintg infirm rich relatives make uip the staple of every rnlrr prirring Northern jourral which reaches us. One edlition of the New York papers ,ontains such an array of these various sorial im moralities as, if splread tlrough the history of the crimes of a whole year, ought to, x clude the community in which they occur from recoRgntlon as a civilized and Christian one. Here is an account of thi deliberatae poison ing of a wife by a popular preacher of mosut w'ililillf l.rrnn'rm ari and 1urrt11iosl .lOq.nc' in. I piety. Tih trial of this rman createtI so Areat an Iintorest among the womellni that they camped in the court; room all night and brought ladders to mount through the win dows in order to be present and hear the dis grusting testimony. The villain was conviet ed, but got only fourteen years in the Peni tentiary. HIere he wouhl have been swung from the gallows. Next we have a report of an alble-rodliled man beating a little girl of nine years so that her body streamed with blood and was so torn and brltisedl as to rendelr clothes uinendr rable. This ruffian justilled the act by the plea that the girt had had sorome beer charged to him which she had got for some other per son. Then comes the report of a sweet youlth who decoyed a rich uncle Into a disreputable place and (dosed hiim with dlruigged whisky until he became delirious, and then sought to have him placed in an insane asylum in ordler to get possession of his property. And even the heirs of Old Commodore Van derbilt have had to go into court to meet the claim of a vagabond son that his father was of unsound mind, hebrause he had not been recognized as entitled to frull share of his estate. And these are only a few of the inci(lents described in one single copy of a New York paper as occurring in a day's proceelings of the courts of that city, whirch illustrates the condition of the social morals in the Northern metropolis of the UInion. 'Tle statement of Judge Whitaker to thi St Louis Riepublicanrr, printed in the DEMIOnrrciAT yesterday, may be approved for its frank ness, Ibut can hardly .ie considered as in dicating a high sense of judicial dignity Al nd a due respect for thil (;rallld JuIrry emllpanoletl in his court. We refer' to, the following lprtion of that statement: "Hearing that tihe Goviernor was opposed to this prosecution. 1 siuggestied to, a mutual friend to tell tie (tGovernor that if he. woulld write to nri expresr.,sing his views on the suibjicet that I would reply to it. and seild the litter and the rieply to the G;rrandl Jury anl the press. Nothing enmire of it." IWec regret that Judge i Whitakw- hoiuld lave exposed before, a crlllmullity oiif stra;ngers a transaction of so extra-judicial and indo- I fensible a charartctir as that described bly him. and we applaud Gov. Nicholls foir his onis sion to reply to, the suggeostion made to himin by the judge. No, such corresponulenceI as that proposed by the Judge would bie proper to communiraite to a Grand Jury, who are forbidden to hold any such intercourse with persons outside of the jury, and who have only to receive and examine evidence, oral or written, touching the miatters before them On questions of law they may, and it is proper for them to make inquiry and recelve instructions from the judge, but not to hearken to any suggestion from either thll judge or Governor as to whether they shal; perform the duty assigned to them by the law.

Here, for exarrpe, is a "mnodernl instan'eo," which seems to be ig nored by P'residlent Hayes and his friends in ldeterminling upon the politicleal relations of the Administration. It is the case of Pre'sident Tyler who, for not carrying out one of the leading policies of the party which elected him, was d. nouncel and repulldatel by the party, only a few politicians anid offlce holders ad hering to him. With these hie attempted to make a third party, and was aided therein by men of the ability and emnllrence of Hives, Legare, Tallmadge, (Inshing and Wise and Hunter, of Virginia. But the Democrats, who approved of Tyler's action In tihe matter, upon which ie separ atel frorn the party which elected him, woulld not consent to abandon its organization or co-operate with the Tyler party as a mere ally. It preserved its distinct character, and Mr. Tyler and his frienrds were compelled, after a brief struggle, to merge their party into, the Democracy. Bly attempting too long to hold out againstthenecessity of such an inevitable and logical conclusion, Mr. Tyler and his eaminent friends failed to securre that position in tie I)mocracy to which their greeat abili ties justilled them ir aspiring. In further explanation of the condition of the (Gaines sulits it is statedl Judge Billings hlas ruled that the appeal bonds must be filed within sixty dlays after the close of the terr of the courrt, which tiime will run out dluring the vacation. In the meantime he will con sider the report of the Master in Chancery rand the question of tihe iirnount of the ,sio.ils to be giveln. TO TlHE SUMMER TOURIST. Those of our citizens who are forturato enough to be able to seok renpite from the labors of the business seaeon just closed, and to recuperate their energies at some of the many delightfu summer resorts to be found in the Northern states and Canada, will be glad to learn that the old favorite Jackson route, under a vigorous and errfctni, maageenenrt, has 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 cress-ties and new bridges, and today it may br safely said that no road south of the Ohio river enrpasses the great Jackson route in smoothness an.l pirfect safety. We have had occns,on, dlring iho past few weerki to travel quite extensiv py over that road, and we can thus, from actuai l e erince,. bear witness to its ex cellonce in cvery ipat.cular which goie to consti tute a gol rie'l DIED: IRlXJBtORtiOUGt - ('- Wednoe-dav o-rning.
