Herolrs confused intellect only distorts
the circumstances surrounding its bug
bear. It is natural for the Herald to try
to fasten on Blanchard as opprobrious
title as its vocabulary will supply, but the
selection of Judas is rather unfortunate.
In order to have traitorous apostle, it
would seem necessary to connect him
with eleven honest associates, and they
are hardly to be found among those who
conspired to manipulate the returns OF
the last election. Even if some Diogenes,
with calcium light should illuminate
them sufficiently to answer the purpose OF
illustration, the lack of Christ to betray
would destroy all the force OF the parallel
The Herald also is anxious that the
grard jury should devote portion of
their valuable time to the supposed state
Of facts. The present grand jury are
more probably DESTROYS OF ascertainlng
of what value the work they have already
done is to justice and the community,
than to cut out more work for the attor-
neys of the criminals. Until the chal-
lenge to their array is disposed of, it is
more than doubtful whether such thing
as grand jury exists in the parish OF Or
leans. If all the acts they have performed
are void, they had better do no more mis-
chief. but rest on their oars until they are
discharged.
But if their acts are valid, what can
they do to Blanchard: II he committed
any offense. it was before or on the day OF
the election. And whatever offense that
may have been at that time, it is no
longer crime under the laws OF Louis
lana. So profound jurist as the editor
of the Herald should be aware that when
Warmoth created new election law,
November 30, 1872, the signing OF that
act swept the former one out OF existence.
If he had applied his legal mind to the
facts, he would have remembered one OF
the first principles he learned, that tie
repeal Of a law under which an otfense is
committed, operates as legislative par
don. What crime could legal grand
jury ,ndics him for? If they presented
him as lineal descendant Of the defunct
apostle, or even as ghost redivivus, it
might give the Herald chance for an ar
gument, but the court would quash the
Indictment and orator without hearing
from the defense.

STOKES.

This celebrated character has just ended
his great contest with the outraged laws OF
New Y ork. He made rather bad begin
ming, having been at one time convicted
Of murder and sentenced to be hung.
This untoward result was attributed by
his friends to an error of Judgment, which
he, Of course. FASTENED to correct. In his
first trial he had neglected by some
strange oversight, to order from those who
have such things always on hand in
abundance. the traditional witnesses who
saw Jim Fisk draw pistol; had heard
him threaten to kill Stokes Oh sight; had
known him as blood Thirsty cannibal for
many years. and therefore proper sub.
ject to be removed by any one whose mis-
tress had been snatched from him by the
irresistible Fisk. These errors having
been repaired, Stokes compromised with
justice for four years in the State prison
at hard labor. instead OF being hanged,
with which he ought TO be satisfied. How
much influence the somewhat wandering
statement Of Stokes himself had on the
jury. we are, of course, unable to say. As
such testimony is very rare in criminal
trials. We are without data Of comparison,
and can not say whether it resulted in as
much good to the prisoner as was expect.
ed But we think this most inadequate
punishment doied out for most cowardly
murderer comes yer. near to proving the
truth Of the ill-timed assertion of the
Stokes class of criminals. that changing
is played out in New York"

There has been no such rush since the

this speculation in salvage was defeated By
the energy and credit of the people, for the
