ing with it extended diminutiOn in the courts pe-
fore the society reaps the benefit of the bequest If
1t ever does The latest phase IN the case Is an
attempt to stigmatze the testator as a convicted
feon. The claim set up Is that Louis BOnard,
the testator, Is none other than one Charles
Marion Bohard, who served several years in the
penal establishments OF France prior TO coming to
this country, some twenty-five years ago. This story
Is said TO have come from the relatives OF Bonard
Still residing IN France. On the other hand parties
claiming to have had long and intimate acquanI
ance with B0nard deny this story. 1t Is alleged
that there are plenty Of witnesses to prove
that Bonard frequently asserted that he
had not relative living that his mother
died when he was very young, and that he
was taken care OF by Il priest, The friend Of his
parents and educated by him until he came to this
country. The case came up yesterday before sur

course OF an enthusiastic hufrah on the

Nothing else wss talked OF throughout the even-

shared in by the entire State as, indeed, seems to
be the case the chances OF MIR. Parker's being re-

extremely bright despite five six black mems

The Right of Proof by Former Partner.
Before Judge Blatchford
In the Matter OF David Kin1-In this case the
mother Of the bankrupt claimed to prove debt OF
$4,000 upon the estate The proof was opposed by
the assignees upon the ground that there had been
no dissolution OF the partnership previous to the
bankruptcy. The question was argued by Edwin

MahOn for the assignees. 1t was c0ntended mat
the bankrupt was insovent when the dissolution
took place, and that the partner was responsible
for all the debts then due and therefore could not
prove her claim. Judge Biatchford reserved his

THE New DEPARTuRE.-The Washington
Patriot does an act of justice to the Con-
servatives Of Virginia in the following par.
agraph:
The platform adopted by the Democratic
conventions Of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ten
nessee, and Iowa, are all substantially the
same, and although much is said about
new departure" they really contain
nothing more than recognition of the
accomplished facts" which Virginia
adopted long ago, and by which she was
spared much of the suffering that befell
others Of the southern States. There is no
doubt that Chief Justice Chase, Hon. Geo.
Ii. Pendleton, and other public men who
are held in high estimation, approve the
forms in which these facts have been &C
cepted, and mostly because a false issue is
thus relieved, which stood in the way of
Democratic success, and the absence OF
which compels the Republicans to confront
the responsibility of their iniquitous mea-
SllrcS before the country.

For the benefit Of those who do not know
the fact, we state that the kukluX law pro-
yidcs, in violation Of the Federal Consitu-
tiun, which requires demand tor troops,o
come from the State authorities, that the
President may, upon his own motion, send
troops to any State to put down whatever
he may consider rebellion, and gives to him
the power, whenever in has judgment TIE
public safety may require it, to suspend the
privilege Of the wit Of habeas corpus and
declare martial law. Now, nyb0uy who
understands "thc logic Of events" can sec
that under such Il law the President is all
powerful. lie judges rs to the dangerous
ness of the rebellion. lie declares martial
| law. he suspends the writ of hdbeaS cor
| pus. Now, suppose he docs these things
without cause; where is The remedy!
There is none. The courts arc siIcnced 10y
martial Law. The jails are kept closed by
| martial law. The people are kept down by
troops. Is it not plain, then, that the Pc
sident may ut will suppress any paper IN
the south?
