Important Decision by the SUI
preme Court.


State Of Louisiana VS.. Charles
Morgan and Sam. Wilson, alias
Buck Sam. The Judge Of the
First District Court Of New Or
leans, by authority of the seventh
section of an act relative to iu-
rors in the parish Of Orleans, ap-
proved March 18th, 1856, ordered
on the 9th December, 1867, the
sheriff to prepare a new list Of iu-
rors.
Under this order the sheriff pro-
eeeded to draw jury from the
registry Of the qualified voters,
made ii 1866, by authority of the
statutes of the State, made in
1866, and not from the registry Of
voters made in 1867, By authority
of the reconstruction acts, an act
of Congress passed I'd March,
1867, for the more efficient gov
ernment Of the rebel States, and
amendments thereto. The registry
Of 1866 contained not half of the
number of registered voters as the
registry Of 1867 contained.
BY authority of the eleventh
section of the Constitution of 1852,
the legislature passed acts requir-
ing registration of voters, and de-
claring none voters but those who
were registered.
The act of 18th Of March, 1856,
above referred to, required the
sheriff to form q list Of Jurors from
all the qualified voters Of the par
ish Of Orleans, except such as
were exempt, and to draw from
shat list the jury
"A grand jury selected from the
drawing made By the sheriff from
the registry OF 1866, as above
stated, found bill Of indictment
for murder against defendants,
who fled a motion to have the In
dictment quashed, because the jury
thus drawn was illegal and incon-
petent.
Defendants set forth other
grounds iii the motion which are
not stated by us, as our opinion ON

question as to the validity Of theI

1T is reported that Mrs. LincoIn's
book, in spite Of All efforts to keep
lit back, is nearly or quite ready for
the press and viii soon make its
appearance. An Illinois editor,
who has been permitted to look
through it's pages, reports that
they TEEN with revelations of radi-
cal rascalitY. Hundreds Of promi-
nent members of the party are
shown up IN a Light that will make
them wish the volume had been
repressed. One Of the stories is,
that John "a. Logan, very literally
and disinterestedly presented the
Presidentess with what he called a
diamond ring, giving her to under
stand that that 1t 1t cost HIM several hum
dred dollars. Suspeoting him as
from her knowledge Of radical
politicians she could not help
doing Mrs. Lincoln sent the ring
to a New York ieweller to ascertain
its value. AS she anticipated, the
ring turned out To be worthless-or
nearly SO, the jeweller placing it's
value at eighteen dollars and she
returned it to the donor with
note which he is supposed not to
have forgotten.

The VIRTUE OF THE SPANISH
PEAsANTBY.A beautiful trait of
character and q lovely custom Of
the Spanish peasantry appear in
their love for parents. They yield
to them obedience, respect, venera-
ton and love, after they are aged,
and the children ara men and
women grown. The married chill
dren delight to have their parents
to direct and govern them as in
childhood, and these children even
quarrel among themselves TO get
and keep possession of their aged
parents, This trait Of character is
said to marx q slow country, where
the past, the aa9ient, Is held ia
honor while progress has no such
reverence for age. Would 10 God

court be reversed
Let also the Indictment be
quashed,
An illustration Of the amount Of
confidence indulged in at Washing
ton in Buffers character for honor
and honesty was afforded by the
little episode which occurred In the
impeachment trial the other day,
wherein one Of the counsel for the
president Mr.. Nelson refused to
trust him with certain papers in

public promise to return them to
their proper custody.
DR.. baldwin ana Another war.
A paragraph from the Columbia
Herald recently gained extensive
circulation, in which the Rev. DIR.
Baldwin was reported as declar-
ing, just before his death, that an
other and terrible war would be
waged on this continent during the
present year. The following facts,
says the Nashville Banner, have
been learned from DR.. R. JET.
Rivers, which fully coroborate the
statement in the Herald. In Jan
uary, 1862, DR.. Baldwin wrote a
letter to Gen. Thomas Rivers, in
which he said The present war
will not finally settle the question
at issue. Especially is this true
in reference to the status of the
negro. Another war will shortly

the present. 1t viii be to the
present as were the Indian and
French wars to the war of the
Revolution. The second war will
determine for all time the status
of the negro. He viii be made
subordinate to the white race, not
only IN the South, but throughout
the world" This letter was shown
to Dr. Rivers by the widow of his
and but q short Time pri-
on To the lamented death Of DR..
Baldwin. He Immediately wrote
TO DR.. B. and asked him il his
opinions had changed since the
close Of the war. The reply was,
My principles have not changed.
According to my understanding of
another war is soon to \
oonvulse this continent. The issue
Is certain. The Hamitic race Will

The remains OF the late Commodore Henry
Hartstene were debarked yesterday evening, ct
81 O'Clock, from the French steamship Pereire.
and conveyed to the residence of General Hal
stead, ct Kearney, near Newark. NJ, where they
will remain until arrangements for the funeral are
completed. Commodore Hartstene was born in
the year 1912. in South Carolina. He entered the
United States naval service In 1923, and became
passed midshipman in 1885, his warrant dating
from the previous year. Three years after
wards he was attached to the Wilkes explor-
ing expedition, but went no further on
that important voyage than Calao. In 1889
and performed that duty in various positions
until 1881, when he was attached to the United
States Coast Survey. In 1885 he was promoted to
the rank Of commander and in the same year
performed the service for which he was 30 cele.
brated the rescue of DIR. Kane and his party from
the Arctic regions. While on this periloas expe-
diti0n he left the monument of Sir John Franklin
on Beechy Island, and took her majesty's steamer
Resolute back to England. When upon this oc-
cesion he was presented to the queen, he made
that address which has been considered q model
Of its kind. He was subsequently engaged In
taking soundings for the Alta ntic Cable. He was
awaiting orders for further service ct the begin.

man, felt it his duty to resign the commission he
held of the United States and join his fortunes
TO the Confederacy. He was employed In various

Of the right side. The statement that he became
insane the year previous is entirely erroneous.
His speech was much impeded BY the disease that
had attacked him /; but his intellect always re-
NAMED bright and penetrating. Having suffered
two successive attacks Of paralysis, in addition to
that already mentioned. 1t occurred to him about
year ago that q trip to Paris might perhaps ben
eft his health, and he started on the journey in
March, 1867. While In the French capital, how.
ever, his health suffered no improvement and Q
fourth and last paralytic attack caused his death
at the Hotel du Louvre, on the 3lst ult. The
body was embalmed in Paris with all that skill for
which French surgeons are remarkable, and IL Is

of the deceased. The funeral will take place at
Trinity Church, Newark, on Saturday next, on
which occasion the coffin will be opened to give
the friends of Commander Hartstene the opportu-

remains OF him whom in life they deeply es-

Buffers impudence Is certainly without parallel,
and In his examination of witnesses, as well as
his treatment of the chief justice and the court,
exhibits brutality which shows that his title Of
" Beast " Is not q msnomer. IL occasionally hap.
pens, however, that Butler finds witness who Ia
not quite as practicable as could be wished. This
was the case few days ago, when Mr.. Henry
Zider, st. Louis newspaper reporter, was upon
the stand for the defense. The counsel having
got through with the Witness Butler took him in
hand and proceeded to PROFOUND Inquiries to him
as follows:
Question How long have you been troubled
with your unfortunate affection, fa .Htcd
Witness-To what 90 you refer?
o. understand you are little deaf. IL that
SO!
A. have been sick great part of this year,

A. have been deaf fer the last two years.
O. About what time did il commencel
A. / do not recollect.
Q: You know when you became deaf, do you
A. know was not deaf when you made
your st. Louis speech in 1866.
Q. That is a very good date to refer to, but
suppose you try it by the almanac?
A. That was in October, 1866. xsrfls
Q. How soon did you become deaf after that!
A. Probably about month. (Laughter.)
@. You are quite sure you were not deaf ct that
time! afs9
A. am quite certain, because heard some re-
marks which the crowd made, and which you did
not hesrg (Laughter.)
O. have no doubt you heard much better
than did; but suppose we confne ourselves to
this matter. You cay that about month after
that you became deaf!
A. Partially. l recovered from that again, and
took sick again.
Here Butler got tired quizzing Mr.. Elder about
his deafness, and proceeded to another branch of
the subject. He lad evidently met his match for
once, and was glad to play quits.
