SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

At the request Of a host Of our triends
and patrons, we. shall resume our usual
review of the Morning Press" tomorrow
We confess we had grown tired OF it our
selves. It seemed SO like routine work to
us, who had it to perform each day and
vet it was real pleasure. The readers oil
| that column have doubtless observed tnat
IL was more in the nature of running
commentary sort Of breakfast talk
than of soberly review.
1t has not been a satire nor criticism !;
but simply the ideas that have occurred to
our mind in reading over the leading
articles of our contemporaries, which Is the
first duty of journalist each morning.
Frequently, they have led us OIL into a
critical or angry train of thought, but we
have always been able to put down the
breaks in time to save us from coming into
collision.
We have endeavored to be courteous,
kind. and lust and if our friends and bre-
shren of the morning press will permit us
to continue on the same friendly relations
with them during the new year-upon
which we have all now entered with such
high hopes-as have been maintained du-
ring the two which have passed away and
are recorded with the dead, we shall en-
deavor to reciprocate the same cordial ana
friendly feeling, and while correspondent
the command of the public, will con-
inue "to do our spiriting gently"

Deod.-Perbaps no colored man in the
South was better known than the late Gilbert
Hunt--certainly not one was more universally
respected and esteemed than he. Man y
of our Oldest citizens still retain anon q
their relics 4 likeness of this greatest known
philanthronst of the colored race. As long as
the memory of the burning of the theatre in
1911, and the burning Of the Virginia peniten-
tiary in 1924, endures, so long will live the
memory Of Gilbert Hunt. Matilda, his wife,
surviving him several years, died in this city
on Monday last, and her funeral took place at
hafpas two o'clock to-day at the old African
church. to which she for number of years
belonged. The old lady, grown old and feeble
with the frosts of many winters, has not left
the bearthstone where she and Gilbert had
spenl SO many happy moments of their married
life, for long time.
Months ago, she told the writer of this that
shewas only waiting to be called away. That
the times had grown strange to her of late
years; that the faces of the ladies and gentle
men whom she knew in youth and early wo-
mtnhood, had passed away, and she felt the
weight of years pressing from her memory the
early scenes of her life that she was waiting
and watching through the night of life for the
beacon light, just over the river of death. No
doubt the old lady has ere this caught the
glow of that brighter light beyond the river,
that shall never grow dim on her vision again.

THE Citizens Stirred Op.-The court OF
the Police Justice was graced this morning by
the presence of about sevsnty-five citizens
summoned thither to show cause why they
should not be fined for neglecting to obey an
ordinance of the City Council requiring them
to connect lots owned by them on any street
containing a city culvert by drain, within
three months after notification by the City
Engineer. At a late meeting of the Council,
Engineer Dimmock notified that body that he
had given such notice, that the three months
had expired, and that the mandate of the
Council had been obeyed in no one instance.
The matter was then turned over to Police
Justice White, who proceeded to stir up the
citizens individually and collectively with n
long pole. One of the defendants to-day
proved to be lawyer, who gave it as his
opinion that the ordinance was either based on
the recommendation of the Board Of Health
or the advice of some culvert-maker who
wanted job. In either case, he added, it was
unconstitutional. The case was held for fur
ther sdvisement.

NEW ORLEANS, March ., 1871.
To the Editor of the New Orleans Bee:
Will you permit mo TO call your atten-
ton TO an article in the Memphis Sun Of
March 18th, in which your journal among
others Is mentioned As having had and
overcome difficulties with the T~ypOgrsphi-
cal Union of this city. The article ia so
entirely false and grossly ~slanderOus OF
the printers Of the country, that L trust
you Will do them the Justice Of denying,
so far As your paper is concerned, the
truthfulness Of the statements therein
contained. IL will hardly be necessary for
to assure you that printers' unions are
founded upon and recognize the principle
that the interests of the employers aud
the employed are identical, and there
should be no snt3gOnism between them.
The pleasant and kindly relations which
have always existed between the printers
Of this city and their employers is suh-
evidence of this fact. Very respect
fully yours, VIM. J. HAMMOND,

OOurt, tie prisoner were called up to re.

court, the prisoners were called up 20 re-
ceive sentence.
GRAVES WAS CALLED FIRST.
He rose out Of his chair by the side Of the
table, the place where he sat so manydays
lighting, through his able counsel, for his
life. He rose up with that quistude and
hrmn5ss which characterized his conduct
all through the trial. He walked up to
the rail in front Of the Judges seat, and
stood with a sort Of serious business ar
while the sentence of the Court was pro-
nounced:
Frank Graves, You have been tried by
q jury Of you cOuntrymen and found
guilty OF murder, and the sentence Of the
Court Is that you be taken from hence to
the jail Of Shelby county, TO remain there
imprisoned until the 28th day of May
next, to be then taken out by the Sheriff
OF Shelby county and hung by the neck
until dead, and may the Lord have mercy
on your soul"
Graves bowed his head slightly and
walked back to his seat with his undis-
mayed look
A TOUCHING SCENE.
POstOn was next called up. He walked
to the front Of the Judges seat with sufh-
Client GOODNESS and self possession, but ap
parently not quite so much nerve as was
displayed by Graves. The judge was Wis
IDLY affected when the prisoner stood
before him. He said:
Samuel h. POston, this is one of the
saddest moments of my life. Our parents
and their children knew each other. We
grew up together; went to the same
schools, the same churches, and on hills
and in valleys played the same innocent
games in bOyhOOd. Years have passed
since then. You now stand convicted Of
a great, a capital crime; and /, as the
minister Of the law, have imposed on me
the painful duty of passing on you the
sentence of DEATH We're it consistent
with my official duties, ! would that this
cup might pass from me. But 1 cannot
shrink from the performance of this SD
otncial requirement, and must not, and
will not in the future, if the OCCASIONS ask
It, though other victims may fall to
svenge a violated lRW."
The judge then passed s~entanee of death
upon him In the same form as that used
to Graves. POstOn wa visibly affected.
Tears rushed into his eyes, The whole
courtroom and the judge himself was
deeply affected many shed tears, indeed
there were not many dry eyes in the
house. 1t was truly a sad scene. The
prisoners took their seats amid profound
silence and awe. The dread majesty of
the law seemed to have taken a living
shape and to have inspired the audience
with feelings of mingled reverence and
fear. This sad scene being over the court
house gradually emptied forth its human
contents. In q short time the prisoners
were led back to their prison. An appeal
to the Supreme Court was entered oy the
counsel for the prisoners, and so their
case stands for the present.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WAR
RAhTS.
The C0uHiy Refuses 10 Pay Thsm-A Suit
TO Recover 1hsir Face Ealus-A Rsesat
Decision Of the Unltsd States Court
Bsogght lsto the Argument.

There was an interesting case before
Judge eiskell, in the First Circuit Court,
yesterday. It was a case involving a
great many thousand dollars in county
warrants, which are held by various par
ties in the city. There are among them,
about $4,000 Of the warrants issued for
jail purposes. The county authorities re-
sist the payment of these warrants on the
ground. First THAT theywere issued by
The County Commissioners, and I'd, that q
recent decision of the Supreme Court says
the law providing for the election Of the
County Commissioners WAS uuCOnstltu-
tiOnal. The case for the county was ably
argued by W. W. Mcdowell, County Al
tOrney, and Col. CAN'T. One Of the
points made was that the warrants were
null and void that we're issued by the
Commissioners; for an unrepealed law
provides that all issues shall be made by
the Chairman Of the County Court, and
priated by a majority Of the Magistrates
in County Court assembled. None Of
these conditions were observed in the is
susnee Of the warrants in question. On
the other han il was COutended tRat,
though these warrants might probably be
held nuua as to the parties issuing them,
but having passed into the hands of third
parties, they belonged to the de IGctO class
of proceedings, which are always recog-
nizsd as Of force. It is said that in all
there are about $500, 900 OF these warrants
still held by private parties, and that
sOne Of them have been issued to the
Commissioner themselves by themselves.
The argument viii be continued some
day this week.
