FIRST DISTRICT COURT.

Cpacards Of 12O Prisoners to be
Discharged. - Counsel filled mo-
tions yesterday in this court to
qnash the indictment in the cases
Of J. A. Quintero, Vincet Sim
mondelli, A. Dormant, Mark
Ochezlerich and several others.
on the ground that under the stat
utes as last codiiied, the accused
could not be prosecuted for the
offenses alleged against them
These statutes, which were ap-
proved by the Legislature, repeal
the pre-existing revised statutes,
and became operative on the 1st
April last. The consequence is
that no person charged with the
commission of a crime or offense
at any timo before that day,
whose case is still pending, can
be tried or heldin custody. Judge
Abel deplored the Legislation,
which in this parish alone would
set free, without trial, upwards Of
one hundred and twenty prison
ers, several Of them charged with
the greatest Grim mes-murder, rape,
arson, burglary and robbery
Messrs. Ray and Campbell of the
Senate, and Lowell of the House,
were present by order Of the
Judge, to enlighten the court as
to how it came that so great an
evil was inflicted upon the COM
munity by the law-making power7
These Legislators saw no evidence
of clandestine amendments or in
terpolations in the law. 1t would
have to be taken as it stood. Mr..
Ray, to whom the task was con-
ided of revising the statutes, and

Troubles Ahead,

What is to be the end of tho
Fifteenth Amendment That is
a serious and momentous ques=
ton, and by far too profound for
us to answer. That it will enter
largely and excitedly into the next
/ Presidential contest, we firmly be-
lieve. There will certainly 10
resistance to it in some way, not
that that resistance will take the
form of opposition to the colorcGl
people, or that any effort will be
made to interfere with what now
seems to be their settled rights,
or that such resistance will DO
tantamount to q violent and law
less opposition to. the supreme au-
thority, but that tho State, CONS
pretending that their rights as
such are greatly impaired by this
measure, and inaugurate a bold
movement to manufacture public
sentiment against it. One must
be very obtuse if he cannot al
ready discover erunmistakable signs
Of dissatisfaction. not only in tho
Southern States bat particularly
in the Northern STATES. We re-
marked the other day that Ohio
was in commotion upon tho sub
ject, and that, at Circleville, q
very decided spirit of opposition
was shone to the principle.
The truth is, the Northern
States had not thought much
about the matter until it came
home to them. Before that, they
presumed it was simply Q war
measure and only applicable to
the State in rebellion. The scales
though are now falling from their
eyes, and they are beginning to
see that if one State can be re-
manded at pleasure, so can ata-
other and still another, until, by
act of Congress, the whole may
be reduced to q territorial con-
dition. That such is the fair and
legitimate tendency of the prin-
ciple, any one with grain of
sense can see. Hence, in view of
this prodigious difficulty, tho
Northern States, at least some of
them, are at the threshold finch
ing and wincing under the inf1u-
ence Of the scheme in question:
How it will end, we do not pre-
tend to say.-Knorrille Wing.

STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS
FROM Observation-Disclosures Shields,
Democratic contestant to the
seat held by Van Horn, Radical,
Of tho Sixth District of Missouri
has filed Il brief to-day before the
House Committee on Elections,
tanning a startling assertion.
to the effect that Van Horn and
one Hallowcll, a newspaper man
in Kansas City, went to the Sec
retary of State of Missouri and
induced him to withhold the cer-
tificate of election from Shields,
on the ground that Van Horn
could produce an affidavit from a
man named Bears, Supervisor of
Registration, which would war
rant the Secretary in throwing
out the Jackson county returns,
and thus defeat Shields. The
Supervisor now comes out, and
under oath, says that this aflida-
Wit is forgery all through; that
he never made nor signed it. The
contestant then says upon the
strength of this affidavit, the pro.
duct of a double forgery and the
surreptitious use of an official
document, Secretary Rodman gave
Col. Van Horn a certificate OF
election, and upon the strength
Of that certificate he now occu.
pies q seat in the House of Rep
rescntatives.
