THE LOUISIANA DEMOCRACY.

The State Central Committee of the
Democratic party Of Louisiana have
issued an address TO the Democratic and
Conservative voters Of that State, and are
organizing for determined battle at the
approaching election. The address is an
able paper, brief, but full of matter peril

THE MISEyIfETuER CASE.

The verdict of the jury in the Misen-
heimcr case il creating considerable dis
cussion in the Southern part Of the state.
The Mound City journal, referring to it,
says: "The jury brought in a verdict of
not guilty and the prisoner was released.

q high crime let him get his case into
Alexander county II possible. They get
up mighty funny juries there when they

Although those who did not hear all the
evidence in the Miscnheimsr case may
believe that the young man deserved pun
ishment, only bold man, or very
careless one, will assert or even insinuatc
that twelve inen were purchased and u
verdict against the law and evidence thus
obtained. No matter how guilty u man
may be, .if he cannot be convicted BY
sworn evidence, :beyond:a reasonable doubt,
the public veal demands that he should go
free. To establish the precedent Of convic-
tion on impulse or prejudice, would DO bad
policy, fatal 10 the interests of the people.
That young Misenheimer struck tho fatal
blow most people believe, but that he in
tended even to inaict n serious injury up
on the unfortunate man he sssailcd, and
that tho jury acquitted him for money, as
the journal insinuates, we cannot believe.
The lawyers for the defense are skillful
mon and had an incentive to uso every
possible exertion to secure the acquittal Of
their client. That they did this, Isl result
at once surprising and creditable to their
ability as lawyers.

Soldiers Friend is right Gen. Logan is
no, entitled to oil the fulsome praise he
has received from his strikers as he is not
quite as bad man as some Of his enemies
have painted him.
The Soldiers Friend complains that the
General, while refusing to vote few acres
Of land TO the private soldiers, who secur.
ed the regulations Of such men as he, did
not hesitate TO vote for that grand land
steal, the Northern Pacific Railroad bill
Sometime during the late session, Mr.. Mum
gen, of Ohio, introduced bill to give
bounty land TO soldiers, and Gen. Logan
had II referred TO the Military Committee
Of The House, Of which he is chairman,
and then in that committee strangled it.
He then announced that he intended to
introduce bill Of his own for the purpose
Of allowing soldiers to locate homesteads;
but this assertion the Friend meets by
saying "Going 10 do something is poor
encouragement for the soldiers who
wan, homes in the far West"
], is further charged, that the General
voted against the bill to pay
pensions through post masters, and
TO retain the present system of
paying through pension agencies. Col.
Crebs was a warm advocate Of tho post
master system, aud denounced the agency
as fraud upon the soldiers and an adroit
way OF stealing their money. We believe
Col. Crebs was tho most active friend of
the measure in Congress, and possibly the
General opposed II on that ground. OF

lowing;
Did you vote to pay pensions through
