The Internationally.

MADRID, Oct. 16.-A great republican
meeting was held in this city to-day, Senior
Onenz presided. Resolutions were adopted
declaring that the party would offer undy-
ing opposition to every form of government
for Spain which was not purely republican.
Nevertheless, in waging such war, upon non
republican principles, they would not viO-
late the laws of the land. Several speakers
addressed the meeting, and some of them
were very pronounced in their expressions
against the present government; most
violently proclaimed their perfect sympathy
with republicans everywhere and with the
International Society, and declared that the
faith of the republicans in Spain was ideD-
tical with the doctrines of liberty and equal
rights now rapidly spreading through all
countries of Europe.

In the early days of California history,
Judge b was the judge of the first instance
in the town Of Santa Cruz. The Judge,
like many old Californians, was fond Of hot
whisky at night, and would at times, with
a circle of cOngenial friends, keep watch
until morning, in consequence of which his
brain would be slightly muddled when he
went on the bench. On one occasion, after
night of deep pOtations, Spaniard was
brought before him to be tried for horse
stealing, crime punishable at that time by
death. The Judge, but short time pre-
yiOus, had a valuable horse stolen from his
stables. The defendant was a hard-featured
wretched specimen of the genus Greaser,
and when the Judge heard the indictment
read, he took one unsteady but searching
look at him, and said: g j. B.. stand up;
| believe you are the id scOundrel who
stole my horse. The sentence of the Court
is, that you be hanged by the neck until
you are dead-dead-dea ~
"BJt, SIR" said the District Attorney,
s. the man has not been tried.r
The Judge, sternly-''Sit down, sir; this
Court knows its business, and don't want
any of your impertinence. Mr.. Sheriff, see
the judgment executed Immediately. The
OOult SJdltuS duJOuTlitu.
The officers Of the Court and the specta-
tors were aStounded, but they knew the
temper ofthe old man too well to tri1e with
him in his present condition, so nothing
could be done but to remand the prisoner to
jail until the Judge should sober up.
After the adjournment, the officers of the
court determined to have the judgments duly
entered up by the clerk, and that the sheriff
should make return that he had executed
the defendant. Next morning the Judge
went on the bench sober, and glaneing over
the calendar, called up the case of The
People VS.. j. B., when the sheriff replied,
"Your Honor the man has been hung"
''Hung" replied the Judge; show is that /?
There has been no trial yet"
''NO, your Honor" replied the Clerk !;
''but your Honor yesterday waived the trial
and sentenced the defendant, and peremtori-
ly ordered the Sheriff TO Immediately carry
the sentence of the Court into execution;
and it was DONE" "Umphr' said the Judge;
let the trial proceed Ruac pro ttuc;;' all ord
ers and judgments of this Court must be
justified by good and legal proceedings
had"
The Judge was in earnest, the joke was
ended, and nothing remained but to bring
in the prisoner for trial. 1t need not be
said that the sentence of the Court was
justified, aud that shortly after there was
one less horse thief in that part of the
country.
