THE CORRUPTION OF THE JUDIOIARY.

1T71. He was arraigned beftore bh 1. N. Smith

that, the statute under whhich Agost.i had b.on
arresNtal was unmcoinstitutional, null and vid,.
and releasing the plrisoner.
This, it sent.s, shiould ihave set.t.led the casr.,
so far, at least, as Agosti is ,concerned. lnBut
ite Ilouistana State Lottery ('orpany is a
rich and powerful monoipoly, and the judi
ciary of the SltatA' has not, yet emanlcipatlt
itself entirely from its inllu,,ences. It. is a
matter of public notoriety that Recorder
Smith is a mrniro tool of C. F. iioward. We
are prepareid ta prove this statement when It
i)ecnomell nece(ssary to ido so. It is also a well
known fact that tihe relations of Judge Whit
aker to tie Lottery Company are not tlihos
which shiould exist between such an Institu
tion and the judge of one of our high
courts. Indeedl, there is no doubt,
and it is pubhely charged, that .ludgei
Whitaker obtained from Chas. T. Howard his
ass.essment of live hundred dollars to the
eampaign fund of 176;. We scarcely think
that Whitaker himself will havotheeffrontory
to deny this fact. If there could be any
doubt of the sublservieney of both Smith and
Whitaker to the Lottery Company, the pro
ceedings in the latter's court yesterday would
remove it.
SSmith, who is a recorder, in those proceed
Ings assumlns the dirty role of a prosecutor on
behalf of the Lottery Company, antd like a
common informer appl)es to) Whitaker to
Issue a mandamus requiring the Criminal
Sherlff to disobey the dccision of the Fourth
District Court, and, notwithstandlling the de
cision of the court, to rob Agorsti of $25 or Im
prison him for five days. . uIdg' Whitaker, be
ing under personal obligations to the Lottery
Company and Acotipollel to Irotect the in
teresdts of that monopoly at any and all
hazardsn , Issued the lnandamusti , anod yvterday
Agosti, without an opportunity to be heard
by counsel, without any notification, and after
hIt had been released by the judge of the
Fourth District Court, was Rsurnmarily re
arrestAsi by the Criminal Sheriff and imnpris
oned, and he is in prison now, on a charge
of which one of the highest courts of this
State has declared him inuce'nt.
The proceedilngs on the part of hoe Judge
of the Sluperior Criminal Court amount sim
ply to a nullification of the great writ of
habeas corpus. There is nothing in the hin
tory of a corrupt and arbitrary judiciary that
transcends the audacity of this action. Such
action by a court in England would create a
revolution. The Radical judges of this State,
in the most prolligate dlays of carpet-bag
gory, never perpetratdl a greater outrage
upon the personal liberty of the citizen or a
more scandalous outrage on the laws of the
onuntry.
We have no timo to do more to-night than
direct the attention of the people to this scan
dalous prorxwnling, and to warn them of the
power in our midst which corruptly owns a
part of our judiciary; which controlled our
late Legislature, and which has the au dacity
to use its power with the courts to actu- I
ally annul the writ of habeas corpus.
The interests of the Lottery Company are
rnmonase; it has millions at stake; and to
protet that inmm.mnnse Interest, which it has
acqulred worruptly, it has the audacity tou
use our courts, and with its bought judges
arrest andti drug citizens of this State to
pritson; with its hirelings It boldly attempts
toi override law, suppress the decisions of
upright courts, and crush under its hool I
tovery ,opposition to Its iprniiclous liii, lltce

CINCINNATI AND THE BRAZIL SUB
SIDY,
Sorllnetlnl rls we have' our doubts aboutl, the
mlission of the press and we can't mention,
olff-hand, an occasion when those doubts op
piress ius more painfully than when we see a
Western newspalper abusing the Brazilian
mall subsidy. The (Cincinnati (mPrnc'iol is
the last tht that coane to us with a jubilation
over the tmnlporary defei'at of the, proposed
sulbsidy to tihe lines between New York and
New Orleans and Rio. 'The ('oAnmerrr'il, with
anr assumption of great glee, republishes the
fllowinug oxtract from the Washlngtoin morre
sporndence of the Now York Ilrlrtld:
Tha bill grants a subsidy of $150.000o a year
for ,1ten years t) a liilne of steae'rs to runI
lmothly beltwoen New York, New O)rieansand
It, llaneliro, and it then gines onl to deos'rilbe
'rat1ely ii tlnhe class of vessels which alone
11shall Ihe entitled to receive the subsid vy which
turns out to I.e a class which MIr. ltaLi( alone
buil.s in this eouutry. ani1. of course the bill
rigidly exciludes all" foreign-lMilt shi5 s. It
happens, howeiver, that I here is now a line of
steanlerls e.st;l1ishl4u andll running btwenl
New York and Rio without a subsildv, and
doifnrg a sufliciently profitable bulsiniess to
warrant. the owners in ketiping their ves.els
running. ll'.ese stean.rs rou montlily, whiich
is all that is re'quired in thIe subsidly bill, and
they carry the mails at a cost of less than
$12)01 a year, ijsteail of $15,000i a year, which
the hill prop;o sed ti give ,omrei one else. 'That
is to say, (Congress is asked to g'rant $150,l , 00 a
year for ten ye'ars for a seirvice whic:h 'tits
Ioion perfi rmied hduring ther last year ianl is
now done for lhs than $12010.
To begin with, there i- scarcely a singlo
statement in this paragraph that is corri't.
The subsidly proposed in the bill is $100,0rl
for each line, for that from New York, and
also for that from Now Orleans to Rio. The,
vessels described may be such as "Mr. lloach
alone builds," but, if this be the cast, Mr.
Roach Is the only man In America that turns
out first-class vessels. The bill merely calls
for iron ships, of 3000 tons burdnon, and capa
ble of a speedl of thirteen nautical miles
an hour. The only other proviso of the bill
is that the vessels shall be capable of conver
sion into armed cruisers in c.ise of war. This
proviso is invariable in relation to all vessels
of any line with which the government makes
a contract bimilar to that contemplated in the
bill granting the subsidy to the Brazilian
line. The latter portion of the extract is not
less inaccurate In its statements. There isno
direct mail service between the United Mtates
and Brazil at any price. Even the corre
sponldence necessitat~d by what little business
we have with that country goes via England,
and crosses and recrosses the sea to find its
destination. From 18;7 to 1875 the United
States did grant a subsidy of $150,0(00 a year
to a line of steamers between New York and
Iio. In 187t; this subsidy was reduced to
$:17,5o0 only, but since that year we have
heard nothing of it. The $1200 the correspond
ent of the Ii'ralI speaks of, if paid at all, is
not in the way of subsidy, but simply for rmail
service by way of England.
But what we prolposed to specially protest
against was the opposition of a ('incinnati
palper to the subsldlzing of the Ine from New
()rli'ins to 1io. If there is ahilty In the Union
more interested than any other in direct tradei
with Brazil through this port, it is Cirninnatl.

The stories that are. coming in daily of thr
Iatr Western cyclone are growing more alnd
tmoro imiarvelouls and holrrble. A witness of
the storm at one of its worst points --Bar
rington, III. -rescrlbes it as a high pillar
looking like smoke.: That this was not a
water-spout is proved by the fact that wher
over this pillar went, the' ground, Instead of
being moist, was dry as if burnt by fire.
Througrhout its whole march, also, the
ground was ridged up aln torn as if a
mighty plow had passed along. Whatever
It encountered was sent straight to the top of
this pillar, and thenoc shot out in all dlrec
tions. One person, a Mrs. Whbbtr, was car
ried no leas than 40) foot high in the air, and a
house, with a lnumllell r of p)rsono within, was
carried at least forty feet high and a distance
of nearly a quartor of a mile.
A Mr. Bruns found in his yard. afte'r the
tornado had passel by, a live shs,'p, whioh,
upon Investigat.ion,was found haIl ),rbn carried
adistanenoot nearly two milos tlhrough th,,
air. S.rlch na:ses, however, woere extreoorl y
rare, almosot every person and animal that the
storm st ru'k )being killed instant ly. Thi
bodies wern left wholly without, clotlhin, the
very shoes being torn from the foot. Few
Irulisne, howover, wore to in observed, hlt
the bodies were perfoote,.ly black, th at~ bing
the resulllt of oven a tlmomentary exposure to
the tornadon. Armorig the renrrrkable oescapes
from th r w the storm was that of Henry Sttofl, who,.
although carried away in the air, was left
romplet1ly uninjured in body, but a daunger
ous maniac. Of chickens, stripped of their
feathers, ano anlmals and human beings,
literally blown to pieces, there are a numbter
of cases. AItogether, this storm was the
queerest and certainly the most terrible that
has ever visited this country. Theore are
some foatur'es concernorr itt that doserrv in
Vestlgatlon. Instead of moving kpilily as
might he supprosed, the wind was unusually
slow -that terrible and destructive pillar of
smoke not moving fastcer than six or snvcen
miles an hour.
The debate on the Shields-Grant resolution
in the Senate the other day seems to have
been the formal nomination of Grn,. Grant for
the I'resideney in 1880. A nomination so early
in the campaign as this, is, of course, a little
premnature, and usually greatly damanLges a
canditdate's chances, but as (.rant. is out of the
country just. now, safe from interviewing re
porters and lettor-writers, this nomination
,can bring him little harm, and, if he follows
the desires and advice of his friend, and soup
porters, and remains away until a few mrnths i
before the election, he will ie in better train
ing than any of the otlher IRepublican candi
dates. The Shirelds bill was the orcasion for
intense laudation of( ;rant on t.h, partorf Sena
tors, including at least one Dlemocrat from tihe
South. This has been fiollonwedl by a perfect
flhual of praise from the press. Tihe St. Louis
(,lobr-DJ)rmocrar , the I'ost and a sa ore ,f othert
free anti irdelopendernt newspalprs call for
Grant's nomination on the plea that he is the
ronly man in the country that can ,deal with!
the threatening dlangers of (crummurrnis. It,
soundts strange, tlhowever, to hear a Demo
cratic paper indorose the nominnation on aili
lar grounds, yet the Trenton (N. J..) Stair -
zit I(Dem.) demands that Grant be called to
t.he front as the only man who can protect the
country from civil strife which the organiza
tion of the Socrialists and the dangers growing
out, orf a dispubte presidrential election throat
