THE ADDITIONAL CRIMINAL COURT

The recommendation of Governor War
moth was founded upon considerations of
public justice. The facts stated by him
show the absolute necessity for such a
court. Public justice is now at stand in
New Orleans. The criminal cases occur
ring in the parish of Orleans can not be
properly disposed of by one court. The
existence of one Criminal Court for such
a district is without parallel in the
history of commercial cities.
Mr. Noise, Attorney General of Loui-
siana, as intimated by the Governor, sug-
gested officially to the Judiciary Com
mittees of the Legislature before the war
the necessity of several courts for INSIDE
meanors and for capital and penitentiary
ofenses, and his suggestion was, it is pub
icly known, approved Of by the then pre-
siding judge, Hon. T. G. Hunt-a hard
working judge, who never failed in his at
tention to duty.
Since the war the colorad emancipated
population has been brought into the
community under the equal and general
administration of criminal justice, and the
outside heterogeneous population Of the
city has increased vastlT.
No one judge on earth can discharge
alone all the duties incumbent in this dis
trict by one magistrate. Judge Abel is ad-
mitted to be an upright and well-disposed
Judge, and he adjoulns his court every
day at three o'clock, and says that it is
necessary for him to do so, for the duties,
if performed as before the war, continuing
trials frequently to late hours of the night,
would break up the health of the strongest
man. Now, the continuance of the trial
Of capital and other criminal cases of the
highest grade as heretofore and as in
England, and in our sister States, as I'M
broken as possible. is deemed by every
man who knows anything Of human ma
ture and Of the administration of criminal
law to be Of the greatest Importance to
the fair and proper trials for the benefit of
society.
One consequence of the present state of
things is that some Of the recorders do not
send up for trial as many cases as they
should; and this has been subject of
complaint, it is believed, by the present
district attorney, as well as by his prede-
cessors. The enforcement Of this impor-
tant duty for the security Of life, liberty
and property, is provided for by the bill
now under consideration. The proper per-
Torrance of the duty would largely III
crease the number Of criminal trials, and
thus proves the necessity for new court.
There have ceased to be since the begin
ming of the session of the Legislature any
trials for capital ofienses in New Orleans.
This is said to be owing to the imprac-
ticability of obtaining verdicts in the clear
est cases, and the fault is laid to the juries.
This may be partly true, but it is certain

MAJORITIES THAT ARE MINORITI1S.

The Times is discussing a very peculiar
question for some purpose which does not
appear in the argument. Propounding
the inquiry whether the minority has
any rights which the majority is bound to
respect it Slides of very adToitly into Il
suggestion that the majority Of which it
speaks is really the minority, and thence
proceeds to discuss its original postulate
from this inverted standpoint This is
done after this fashion, that the govern
ment which is assumed in the first place
to represent the majority, is only
body Of conspir~ors who have
usurped the positions which they
hold, and that the people, who
are represented as the minority, have ROW
to determine whether they viii submit to
the government or whether they will re-
sort to some unatated remedy to reassert
their own rights as the controlling power
OF the State. According to the PROPOSE
ton Of the Times, tie majority is not the
majority when it elects men who are either
''&iiens to the State, strangers to the local
ity which elects them, or not in harmony
with the sentiments of the community
from which they are sent as representa-
tiYes"
It viii be seen that The argument and
the text do not correspond, and that a
better way 20 have stated the inquiry
would have been to ask ''IIas the minority
any. rights which the minority is bound to
respect" Ii Ouachita parish is not to
send the chois.of its own people because
q newspaper III New Orleans says he is an
alien, OF stranger, or an enemy to their
sentiments, how is Ouachita to be repre-
sented when she chooses to elect this man,
who is obnoxious to the minority com
posed OF the editor of the Times? If the
people are to be limited in this way, what
benefit will the right of suffrage be to
them: The members Of the Legislature

that it is also owing TO the want of pro-
per presiding judge, and to the breaking
up or interrupting of the trials from day to

that 1t Is also owing to the want of pro-
per presiding judge, and to the breaking
up or interrupting of the trials from day to
day.
Integrity and disposition to perform
duty faithfully are essential qualities for a
good judge, but every man of common
sense knows that they are insufficient to
form complete judge.
Judge Abells rambling charges and
political harangues and his fondness for
speaking detract from the dignity and
weight of judicial character. Lord Bacon
says, very wisely, that an overtalking
judge is no well-tuned cymbal. Besides,
without derogating from the judge, it
must be admitted that he is not of the
class of jurisconsults to impress mems
minds by the powers of reasoning, the au-
thority of learning and the graces of
scholastic attainments and good taste.
Such q judge as has been just described,
and who would continue trials as unbroken
as possible, SO that the attention of the
jury should be kept constantly applied to
the case intrusted to them, and that no
opportunity should be afforded for cor
ruption, would, by the force of character,
have a moral influence upon the jury, and,
by his wise charges, point their way to just
conclusions in the cases confded to their
Judgment.
The PicaVltne has evidently been misled
by those who are interested to oppose the
bill. 1t refers to the information afforded
it by the officers of the court.
We make no charges against officers of
courts. But we will say that they ought
to be fairly salaried and not to be allowed
to acquire fortunes by their fees. 1t is a
shame that clerk should receive twice or
three times as much for his labors as the
judge, or that the income of district
attorney should depend upon convictions
which he is interested to effect The min
lister Of justice should be disinterested in
the case which is committed to him for
prosecution.
While the bill will benefit the commu-
nifty, it will do no wrong to Judge Abel.
He is to be continued in office as Judge
One word more. If the bill were to
pass, the judge appointed by the Gov
ernor would not be in Office more than
few months. and so of the other officers of
the court. The offices Of judges, etc, are
elective and the elections for them will
take place at the next general election.
This disposes Of any sinister motive of the
Governor in his rec ommendation.

THE WATER SUPPLY,

The control and management of the
Waterworks by the city-and the owner
ship of the same by the city-has long
been recognized as the decided wish of the
population. It being a valuable franchise,
more than once an insidious attempt has
been made to wrest it from its rightful
owners and convert it to the use and benefit
Of a private corporation. Every such at
tempt, however, has been defeated by the
determined opposition Of the Governor
But it is right that the people should
know who are the enemies Of their rights,
the monopolists and exto1tionists, who
are seeking to wrest this valuable fran
chise from the city, and compel its citi-
zens to pay for the water they drink. The
bill incorporating the 'Crescent City
Waterworks Company" VIII furnish this
information. 1t was passed at the last
session OF the Legislature, and was at
tempted to be promulgated by the late Sec
rotary Of State, when he was arrested in his
insidiois designs by the Governor. Among
its incorporates will be found the names
of gentlemen connected with both the
Picayute and Times.
Nice 'Teformers, " these! They are OPP
posed to monopolies unless they have a
hand in them and profit by the outrage Oh

the rogue who cries thief to divert atten.

not inquire into their own misdeeds.

THE JOCKEY CLUB DINNER.

1t is now currently believed that the
gentleman who declined to participate in
the Jockey Club dinner to the Duke
Alexis, because of the fact that Ubvernor
Warmoth was present, was Mr.. Cuthbert
Slccomb, of this city. We can scarcely
credit this, inasmuch as circumstances of
very recent occurrence induce us to be-
lieve that rumor is al fault. That the
community may be as we'll advised in the
premises as ourselves, We subjoin our rea-
sons for the faith that is in us:
In the first place, it was Mr. Sloconb
who solicited, and at whose earnest sole
itation the Governor subscribed to the
stock of the Jockey Club, and became a
member thereof.
Secondly, Mr. Slocomb has repeatedly
met the Governor at the Jockey Club
building, has exchanged civilities drank
with him, has been created" by him. and
i'll turn has treated the Governor.
Thirdly-Mr. Slocomb has been an ap-
plicant to the Governor for personal favor,
and earnestly solicited his appointment
to the Office of Administrator Of I'M
proyements. For over a week Mr.. Slo-
comb danced attendance in the Governor
antc-room, willing and anxious to become
the recipient Of his patronage.
In view of these facts it can not be pos
Sible that Mr.. Slocomb declined to be
present at the Jockey Club dinner on the
Governors account Nothing has occurred
since the ciyilities we have alluded 70 were
interchanged to annul the amicable rela-
tons between Mr.. Slocomb and the execu-
tive. We infer, therefore, that rumor for
once IS at fault -

LICENSES.

We think the Legislature may safely
land justly omit from its revenue bill the
assessment Of licenses on small tradesmen.
The objections to such a tax on individual
and necessarily limited industries and en-
terprises are numerous and well known
and, we think, should be needed by the
Legislature. In cases, at least, where the
tradesman disposes but of the results of
his own handicraft, no levy should be
made. The city members will win no
small need of praise by advocating this
measure Of relief.

against whom the Times levels its inquiry
were certainly returned by the people who
found in them better qualities than they
found in their opponents. At least they
thought so, and until there is a way dis
covered to make the majority do what the
minority desires to have done, we do not
see that the argument in the Times will
amount to anything more than special
plea in favor Of something that is yet to be
pronounced.
