WE presume that most people throughout
this section OF country, have heard more or less
of Joe Barker, of Pittsburgh. He has been a
sort of standing, institutional nuisance up there
since about the time we began to rccollect.-
The Pittsburghers, however, have only lately
come to the same opinion. When he wasn't
much better than he is now, and when the dig
nifty of that city seemed to have reached toler-
ably low ebb, the plugs" up there, elected him
out ofiai into the mayorshiP, which he hlled
with disgracet to himself, ard humiliation to good
people generally. All thot he is, he owes nei'
ther to 1.-The grace Of God" nor his own good
behaviour but simply to seemingly ingra'ned
propensity for ribald street preaching Inc
burden and pith of his harangues have Sener-
allv been his Catholic ftlIow-citizens, and their
religious opinions Everywhere, and at all
times. in season and out of season, he has made
it a practice to insult, abuse and annoy them IN
the most dsagrceablc style he could command"
Latterly, however, he has branched out a little
more comprchensiyely, and has taken into the
pale Of his maledictions, the religionists gener-
ally-the press, and the city government, aHeg-
ing that the Mayor and police were sin collision
with thieves"
So, for all these things, and many more, the
Pittsburghers have had Joseph arrested, tried
and convicted. The charge of Judge Maynard
is very good one, and interesting. Among
other things we note that he observed that
ANY public attempt, to bring religion into
contempt and opprObrium, no matter of what
creed or denomination, comes clearly under the
| penalties of the statute. Religious liberation
was one of the great boasts of our civil liber-
ties, and in the conscientious belief and exer-
else of religion, of whatever denomination Or
sect, no man or men dare cast public contempt
or make afraid the believers. In regard to the
blocking up of the streets, he was very clear
and explicit, recapltulated the evidence, and left
it to the jury.
After alludin5 to the evidence, proving that
obscene language had been used by the defend
ant, his Honor remarked, by way of illustration,
II a man places putrid carcass on an open lot,
in populous place, and it infects the atmos-
phere around over streets and highways, he IS
amenable to the Law for that nuisance. Still,
far more so, is that man amenable to the law
and its penalties, who, by filthy and obscene
words posturcs, and sections, pollutes the at
mosphere within the bounds of his voice in the
streets, the highways, or the spot on which he
is speaking.
The jury returned unanimous verdict against
Joseph-that he was guilty in manner and
form as indicted" The papers up their say
amen to the verdict.
