WR-IPLE SHEET
We regret to learn, from a prival letteAr,
that Mr. Ross, son-in-law of Mr. Patrick
Doherty, of West Fel:ainna, died on the
eleventh Instant ai. loldell Plantation, in
West Feliciana. Mr. toss was well known
in this city, where hl h had many friends.
Yesterday, before the lFourth l)istrictCo(urt.
in the case of the State vs. A ugost1, on an ap
plication for a writ of habv.as corpus, there was
one of the most, brilliant forensic efforts muade
that we have heard here for a long time.
Alex. Dalaholmer, Esq., who appeared for the
relat.or, in an argument that was marked for
oonciseness and IPgle made piints before the
oourt that for novelty and perspicuity do
serve more than pass.m not.ico. Notwith
standing the past decisions of a hired Hu
prenmo Court, Mr. Dal.sholmor showed conclu
sively the unconstltutionality of the lottery
act No. 9 of 1574. We wish that the public
xould have heard it in all its fullness. lie had
againust him those two advocates of the lotte
ry, Messrs. Thos. .1. Senmmes and lraughn,
but they did not in the least touch the argu
ments presented by Mr. I)alshelmer.
Wie print in another column the petition of
C. T. Howard, instituting suit for $25,000
damages against Mr. A. C. Janin, one of the
proprietors of 1his paper, on aicuunt of an
article which appeared In our editorial col
umns on the fiftteenth. instalnt. T. J. Sommes
and Joseph P. Ilorner, the hired attorneys of
the lottery swindle, sign this petition.
We have not timne to-night to notice
this thing at length. We will only
remark that it is a piece of insolence both on
the part of Howard and his attorneys to single
out any one of the proprietors of this paper
as responsible for its attaclks on the lottery,
or to assume that any one else than the
edi-or of the l)EMoCIIAT, whose name appears
at the head of its columns, or the proprie
torS in soiido, is responsible for its uttorances.
We have more to say on this subject, but
defer further comment until Monday or Tues
day.
The ice dealers of New York, like those of
this city, are predicting high prices for lee
this summer. This is one of their favorite tricks
to send the prico up, and one that rarely fails o.
Its purpose. The fact that the crop this year
is undoubtedly short assists them in this
bulling operation. The falling off in the Now
York crop this year is 25 per cent; the
Maine crop is a full one. It is probable, how
ever, that the preseni, ice crop will prove
to be larger than that of the previous year.
'IThe warm weael r of hast winter persuaded
many Northern farmers that the ice crop
would be short and tce command a high price
in consequene. IHundreds of these farmers,
therefore, who had small ponds noar their
dwellings, built ice houses and laid in a sup
ply of ice to sell. The result is that although
the large dealers are short, the small dealers
have sO much larger an amount of ice than
they bver had tefore that there can Ie no ice
famine, T'he correspond(ents of the New
Y'ork papers have rece'ntly discovered that, a
larger Aupaly of ice is on hand now than last
season. As soon as thiis (ce begins to oinme into
the market there will be a fall in those in
flated prices on.hitcl the dealers Iave countca
. 0onf tdenrt iy.
Thi' decision of tile Now York Supcrior
Court on the iii'su.ion of l'w(eId's life insur
auice maly lhave a salu'tary ellct on those
bank presidents and cashiers who arc in the
habit of getti lng into financial diilhcultie~ here
and then sklppling oti silently and secretly to
Canada. Tweetd was insured for $10,000 in the
Knickerbckeir Insurance Company of Now
York. Among the provisions of his pollcy
Was one that he should not leave the ti nit'ed
tStatea for a foreign country without first giv
ing the comnoany notice of his intention; and
again that if lie did visit Europe lie should
sail theroe , the ordinary (and usual route.
Thes tw.vo p. visions Tweed of course via
lated when ho escaped from the Ludlow
Street Jail. 11e gave no notice to the company
in which he was insured of his intentlon to
escape from jail and the vessel in which he
sailed ins cad of taking the regular course
across the A:Ilantic, sailed by a most circuit
ous route. I nis the court now decides viti
ated Tweed'- lp aley, so that his heirs will be
unable to 'rvcover that 10,00) for which his
life was inmau d.
It was pei hl:ps asking a good deal of Tweld
to, require lIuI in advance to give this com
pany full itparticulars of his intention to es
cape, and the utode by which he expected to
dio so. Still, as the court decides that this is
necessary, the Chicago bank presidents plan
ning trips ti, Canada had better take warning,
Sand give dune notice whenever they intend to
- embezzle and fly the country.
We are evidently a petitioning people. The
Spetitoning disease, it is said, is annually
spreading, anld Congress is each year re
ceiving a larger number of petitions,
The average increase in each of the
last three Congresses over its predecessor
has been about25 per cent. Since the fifteenth
of last October no less than 8003 petitions, on
at least a hundred different subjects, have
been presented to Congress and filed, an
average of nearly thirty petitions to each
Congressman. The subject on which the
greatest number of petitions and memorials
were presented was the tariff, with 2803 peti
tions; next came 1355 petitions for the pay
meant of claims; next 501 petitions for the im
provement of various rivers, harbors and
creeks, showing that if the harbor and river
appropriation bill was large, it did not in
elude quite all the rivers for which a little
assistance had been asked. There are 300
petitions asking for woman suffrage, and 187
for prohibition, etc.
A considerable portion of the legislation of
Congre4M is based upon these petitions and
memorIals. The Committee on Commerce,
for instance, gets jurisdiction over the im
provements appropriations it recommends
through potitions, as it is rarely that a mem
bor introducos a bill for the improvement of a
cre.k or a harbor in his district. So also is it
with the Onnmitts'> on Pensions and Claims.
It is evident, therefore, that when the peo
ple of this country claimed In the bill of
rights the right ta petition, they meant
to exercise iI.
A JUST JUDGE.
We invite the attention of our reades to to the
decision of Recorder MIltenberger in the
c.nes of the State vs. P. Saloj and A. Sa
randa, for selling lottery tickets in violation of
act No. 9 of 1874. .J udge M iltenberger has ren
dered just such a decision as the constitution
and laws of the State required him to render,
and we and all good citizens expected him to
render. it has elen a long tilneslncewe have
had in this city, even a district court., that
had the courage to compare the iniqui
tous acts passed in behalf of the lottery
monopoly with the constitution, and to
give the latter the control. Recorder
Miltenbergor has closely and conscientiously
examined the constitution and the lottery
acts, as we said, from our knowledge of him,
he would do, and he saw, as every conscien
tious judge who has brains enough to fill a
judicial position must s e, that act No. 9 of
1874 is a violation, not.only of the consti
tution, but of the fundamental principles of
civil liberty. The people of this city
nay, the people of the whole State will
thank and honor Judge Miltenberger for the
courage and integrity he has displayed in
rendering a decision against the validity of
an act that was designedly passed to sustain
a villainous monopoly at the cost, even, of the
personal liberties of the people.
In Recorder Miltenberger's district, now.
the lottery company will be forced to proceed
under act No. 10 of 1874 in the prosecution of
those who may infringe its vilely purchased
rights.
The unconstitutionality of act No. 9 having
now boon allrnnmol by the Rocordfer of the So
cond District, it remains to be seen whether
act No. 25, of 1868, or act No. 10, of 1874, can
make an act a crime if comniltted by one
person and a lawful transaction if committed
by other parties. In other words. can the
Legislature make the selling of lottery tick
ets, burglary, adultery and manslaughter
legitimate transactions if perpetratd by the
stockholders of the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany, and crimes or misdemeanors when per
petrated by other men.
In the meantime, we say, and we speak the
sentiments of the people of the whole Stntat,
we thank and honor the Recorder of the Sic
ond District Ifr his able, manly and just de
cision in thcse cases.
The city government of New York is In a
state of wild excitement, and all over peanuts.
That luxury of the gods of the theatre, that
chief attraction of 'the circus, the arrtchi
hypopaea has brought about aset lous conflict
of authority between various branches of the
city government, which has necessitated the
use of the police and which has already
brought forth a number of indictments and
Investigations.
A peanut merchant of the metropolis ap
plied some days ago to the Board of Alder
men for permission to locate his stand on the
sidewalk of an important and crowded thor
oughfare. This petition was granted, and an
elegant peanut shop was opened there last
week, to the great delight of the public.
The proprietor of the store in front of which
this establishment had located itself objected
to this, on the ground that it seriously inter
fererd with his business. He requested the
Mayor, therefore, to veto this permission. This
the Mayor did, precipitating by this act a con
flict, between himself and the Board of Alder
men. This squabble, however, was but the be
ginning of wars innumerable. The Commis
sioner of P'ublic Works appeared upon the scene
in sypportof the Mayor, and objected not only
to the peanut vendor as a nuisance, but claimed
that the merehant who had objected to his
presence was also obstructing the street with
his sign post, awning and merchandise, and
3.wept them all away with the peanuts. Be
ginning wi h this case, he inaugurated a
naivage warfare on ob.;tructers of the pub
lie highway of all kinds. The Board of Alder
men fought the Comnmissioner energetically,
and, instead of giving in, continued to au
thori- . new encroachments on the streets, all
of which obstructions the Commissioner per
sisted in removing, on the ground that the
city charter absolutely prohibited any person
from granting to individuals this right of ob
stru-cting the streets.
This war was still going on when Recorder
iackett joined in the fight. He summoned
the grand jury at once, and directed their
attention to notorious violations of the
statutes. 11e told them that street obstrue
tions aud nuisances were authorized and suf
fered to (exist in dire et and gross violation of
the law, and advised them that it was their
duty to inquire who was responsible, and
wtlrthierany public oflicers had, by criminal
neglect of dtuty, or any other indlctable
offense, brought them selves within the grasp
of the law.
This charge excited the Now York alder
men to t the very point of madniess. Recorder
Hackett was denounced in the most violent
terms, and a committee of aldermen ap
pointed to investigate his sanity. The
speeches made in debating the question of an
investigation are reported as quite violent
and demagogical, the aldermen pleading in
plaintive tones for the right of the poor, per
secuted peanut men, and calling on the public
to sustain them in their bold tight to make
peanuts cheap.
Thus stands the war at present, with a half
dozen squabbles between the Mayor, the po
lice, the Board of Aldermen, the Commission
er of Public Works, Recorder Hackett and
the grand jury. In the meanwhile, the
Mayor's marshals are proceeding to clear the
streets of all obstructions, and as soon as the
grand jury begins with its indictments we
shall probably see the streets of New York,
as they should be, free to the people. Would
that somebody could inaugurate a war of this
kind here, where the public is treated far
worse than in Manhattan.
TO SUMMER TOURISTS.
The great Jackson Route offers the greatest
inducements to Eastern and European trav
elers this season. It should be known to all
that this line has been immensely improved
during the past year. It has, in fact, been al
most entirely rebuilt. It now has a fine steel
rail track, laid upon new ties and an excellent
road-bod. This enables it to make as fast
time as any line to New York with entire
safety and without the appearance of rapid
running, its connections from Cincinnati and
Chicago being among the finest roads in the
world. The train leaving at 6 p. m., one hour
later than any other line, makes exactly the
same time to New York as its quickest rival.
There are no through cars to New York by any
line. The Jackson Route has but one change
of cars, which is made In Union depot, at
Cincinnati, Chicago or St. Louis.
Passengers direct to Now York by the Jack
son Route pass through the splendid scenery
and cool air(of the A Illghany Mountains. Thoset
going by Chicago pass by daylight In full
view of Niagara Falls, and also have but one
change of cars from New Orleans to New
York.
