IL is to be hoped for the good of New Orleans,
that he may be induced to withdraw his resigna-
ton. H ~
WE ARE eRrEvEp 70 learn from an Alabama ex-
change that VIM. B. Tullis, Esq. a prominent
cotton factor of this city, SO Perdido street, and
partner In house in Mobile, came to his death
recently, from taking o dose Of bichromate of
potass instead ofone Of bromide of potiss., which
had been recommended by friend as cure for
neuralgia. The mistake was owing to the fault of
Mr.. Tullis himself, the druggist who furnished the
preparation having asked him twice II 1t was not
bromide OF potassium that he wanted. He took
about sixty grains-enough to kill dozen men.
Mr.. Tullis was good citizen, and an honest and
a liberal merchant.

PERvNPToRY MAYDAMus ON BAKER AND HIS SAT-
uLITEs.-We copy from the Evening Delta the
decision of Judge Cooley, of the Sixth District
Court, IN the case of mandamus on the registrars
for this parish
Estate of Louisiana ex. REL, Gar6nkle vs. Board
of Supervisors of Third Ward-sixth District
Court. The relator alleged he was duly natural
ized and offered to take the oaths and answer the
questions authorized by law TO be registered, bat
the board refused TO allow him to register for the
that the court which naturalized the restor
bad no power to naturalize, being then IN vaca-
ton, and the law requiring the process of natural.
iZation to be gone through in open court.
:" The matter being submitted to the court,
Judge Cooley said that the question raised BY the
answer of the board could not be examined by
him, because If he entertained the point made by
him be would acknowledge their right to question
the validity of the judgments OF his court. That
he could not do. IL was familiar principle OF
that all executive ministerial officers were
s~nnd tn aher thA i.s.-----.-- 80
officer who might refuse TO execute an order, II
the court was without Jurisdiction to issue II.
A." Here there was no plea to the jurisdiction OF
the court in fact, the jurisdiction was admitted
IL was only claimed the jurisdiction had been ex'
ercised at an improper time. II the respondents
were allowed to Judge of the time when courts
should exercise the powers conferred upon them
by law, they would also be authorized to inquire
into the suffciency of the evidence upon which
the Judgment was rendered. Judgment OF
competent court must be obeyed whether 1t be
right or wrong, until it is reversed or set aside
for that purpose there must be proper parties,
proper proceedings and q proper tribunal. The
only tribunal which has revlsionary control OF
the judgments of this court is the Supreme Court.
The Judge cited in support of the principle as to
the respect due to the orders Of court the hstori
| cal incident connected with the British war OF
| 1914 and 1915, when Gen. jackson, the hero oil
that war; being in this city, flushed with victory
| spd backed by powerful soldiery, ready to obey
| every command he issued yet obeyed the Juds'
| ment of a court of this city, and paid the nue.
| which that judgment inflicted. The judge said ne
hoped the example of obedience to the DEGREES OF
court set by this illustrious military chieftain,
would be followed by every one. At all events,
| the courts possessed the power to execute their
| judgments, and the highest and lowest would be
| compelled to obey their decrees.
| The mandamus was made peremptory, and
| the board ordered to register the relator."
| The District Courts in session, yesterday, were
crowded with other spplicantions. Judge Leau
| mont, of the Fifth District Court, also made
| decision, coinciding with that of Judge Cooley
| Baker and his myrmidons will have worse than {
| nest of hornets about their ears. They will fnt
themselves worse'off than short tailed bulls in iy
time, if they keep on.
