ANOTHER CRIMINAL RELEASED,

Judge Cooley, whose official existence
has not been paraded in these columns as
frequently of late as it was our ancient
wont to allude to that melancholy fact,
again prOvokes us to renew Our lamenta-
tons at his continued fermentation in
matters of criminal jurisdiction. Au-
guste Merle is charged with an offense
committed in the presence of witnesses,
which resulted in his being summoned to
an interview with Recorder Houghton,
than whom there is not more unpleasant
officer in the State to carry guilty con-
science before.
Recorder Houghton sent Mr.. Merle be-
fore the District Court. Mr.. Merle de-
handed a hearing before Judge Cooley,
coupled with cry for his immediate re-
lease, not as an innocent party, but as
having been committed by an officer
whose judicial existence he did not ac-
knowledge Judge Cooley granted the
hearing, heard the plea of Merle, and at
once proceeded in his ornate, indignant
and original style to set Merle at liberty,
and to GUST Recorder Houghton from Office,
thus doing the community two injuries at
once by releasing criminal and depos-
ing an honest gentleman from position
of great usefulness 1t appears that in
suit instituted by one J. J. Foley against
Judge Houghton a judgment was de-
livered against the recorder. This fact
being presented to Judge Cooley, he &C
cepted of its relevancy to Merle's case at
once, under the following article Of the
releasing the criminal on
the ground that he had been committed
by an officer who was no officer. Article
ninety-four of the constitution reads as
No judicial powers, except as commit !

GOOD NEWS FROM FRANCE.

AS predicted in the REPUBLICAN two
weeks ago, the Versailles government is
winning the day over the rebellion in
Paris, and before the present week is out
we Shall probably be able to report that
Theirs has established himself in the
Hotel de Vile. 1t will be remembered
that when the outbreak occurred at Paris,
1he REPUBLICAN espoused the cause of the
commune, because it was then understood
that the Assembly at Versailles was in
cllned to favor a suppression Of the ra-
public. Bourbons and Bonapartists were
allowed to intrigue openly for support,
ana a civil war was foreshadowed, which
would have for its object either the estab-
lishment of monarchy or an empire.
Republicans were respondent throughout

Important Decisions,

The Supreme Court yesterday delivered
about forty opinions, many of which were
of great interest.
In the case of Solomon & Simpson VS..
Graham, Auditor, the opinion was read by
Chief Justice Ludeling. The court held
that the act of 1871 giving J. o. Nixon
about fifty thousand dollars to compensate
his alleged losses was an increase of the
State debt, and that debt, being in excess
of S25 900, 900, could not be thus further in
creased.
In the case of the School Board vs. the
Mayor, etc, Mr.. Justice Howell read the
opinion, which declared that the city is pro
hibited by the revenue laws of 1870 and
1871 from levying an aggregate tax of more
than two per cent on the cash value of prop
ertv.
In the case of Walton & Deslonde vs.. the
New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern
Railroad Company, Mr.. Justice WHY read
the opinion, which was an exposition of
some of the rules which apply to real estate
brokers. The claim was rejected
In the cases of the city of Baltimore VS..
Parlange and Buddecke VS.. Spence, Mr.
Justice Howe delivered the opinions, the
first of which recognized the privilege of
builders for necessary repairs as against
that of previous vendor, and the second
OF which recognized the lien of a cOnsignee
OF goods for sale as against an attaching
creditor under the law of 1871.
In case read by Mr.. Justice Taliaferro
it was held that the recording of tutors
bond given prior to 1868 would preserve the
mortgage in favor of the minor under the
clause Of the new constitution
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-05-23

ting magistrates in criminal cases. shall be
| conferred On any officers other than those
mentioned In this title, except such as NAV
De necessary In towns and cities; and the
| Judicial powers Of such officers shall not
| extend any further than the cognizance of
| cases arising under tine police regulations
| OF towns and cities In the State. In any
case where such officers shall assume juris-
| dletlon over other matters than shall arise
under police regulations. or under their
| JuFlsdlctlon as committing magistrates, they
shan De liable 10 an action for damages in
favor OF the party injured, or his heirs: and
a verdict IN favor Of the party injured shall
iPso t0eto operate a vacation Of said Office.
In order to apply the Foley judgment
50 as to extrude Recorder Houghton from
Office, Judge Cooley must assume, first,
that the exception in the above article
prohibits a committing magistrate from
acting in criminal cases, for the language
OF the article plainly indicates that the
=" other officers contemplated By the ar
ticle are to have full power as committing
magistrates, but are not to be invested
with Judicial power to try and determine
any other matters than those such as relate
to the police regulations oftowns and cities.
The law Is explicit on this subject, that ex-
cept as committing magistrates, which in
wolves the right to examine and imprison,
release on bond parties charged with Of
lenses, no Judicial power can be conferred
Oh any officer created by statute. As a
committing magistrate, however, the /
''otheT officer" has power that is above |
police regulations. Second, in order to /
sustain himself, Judge Cooley assumes |
that Judgment is equal to a verdict, |
which Is novel assumption, it Will be /
admitted, in proceeding Of a criminal /
nature. 1t is well understood that in /
interpreting punitive enactments the |
5trictest construction of language is en-
forced by the courts, and if there is any
doubt or confusion about the proper
Interpretation Of the text, then the party
arrested must have the benefit of the
uncertainty. What would Mr. Cooley say
If he was tried tomorrow for obstructing
the civil rights bill or the Ku-Klux law.
and the court should turn upon him
with the assertion that its judgment was
superior to the solemn verdict which the
law provided for his protection: Would
he not say that a verdict was what he had
a right to demand: And would he not
further contend that according to every
rule Of Interpretation in criminal proceed
lngs, verdict could only come from a
jury: But this is too plain to argue No
body but Judge Cooley can uphold the
order that released Merle on the ground
that his commitment was made by an Off
Ger who was no officer The people will
probably learn in time that the decisions
fudge Cooley are not of an equal value
even with the verdicts that he esteems SO
lightly.

Antelope, who does the financial states
manship of the Pjcqy,ne at its New York
end, declares that the fight about the
price Of gold is one between the Treasury
Department and the banking sharpers Of
Wall street. This is very correct and
Notwithstanding Antelope throws his
weight in favor Of the banking sharpers.
the country ranges itself on the side Of
Mr.. Boutwell,, because the people take the
sensible view, first, that capital is always
to be distrusted as selfish; and secondly,
every party, whether individual or corpo-
rate, should protect its own interests first
and particularly against the banking
sharpers. Antelope is continually affiict-
ing the people with suggestions that the
man who is protecting their credit
from disaster is their greatest enemy. If
the currency of the country could be de-
preciated until it sold at fifty per cent dis
count, which would necessarily swell the
expenses Of the country forty per cent
above their present limits, Antelope would
consider that the time had come when the
Picayo0,e might reasonably engage in il
Eliminating its Camp street front in honor
Of great victory. And no doubt the
Wall street banking sharpers could be in
duced to pay for the gas and the fixtures
The aStounded people, however, might
read in the light of this display a dis
neartening story of their own losses. Let
US hope that the illumination will never
have victory to call it into existence.

David and Davis Thomas Drummond, it
being that of Alvin P. Hovey, and others,
for 100000 damages for false arrest and
imprisonment during the war of the re-

fully tried, will open the whole history of
the organization of the Sons of Liberty.

The column of the Place Vendome,
recently destroyed by the Paris mob was
surmounted by statue of Napoleon l., in
1le costume of Roman Emperor. The
statue destroyed by the commune is the
tIird one which has been placed upon the
column. The height of the column was one
hun bred and forty three feet, and the statue
was twelve feet high. Narrow winding
steps led to the top OF the column, from
which a splendid view Of Paris could be
obtained.
