BLACK EYEs.-We don't mean peas,

eyes are naturally black. We mean a,!if-
cialiy.tfsted black eyes. Some people, both
men and women, are passionately fond Of
admirng people with these kind of eyes,
but never like to have them tried on them
selves. Justice White, who we think is a
man of taste, fined two men to-day for this
work of art. one $40 and the other SIS.
We hope if these parties come up again he
will make the fine ten times as much, for
the reason that the unfortunates in this
case were women.

JuDGE SMITH has decided not 10 en-
ter upon the trial of tic case Of Allen
Simpson, Treasurer Of the bogus Board
Of Directors Of the Hospital for the
Insane against tho State Auditor, but
will await the decision of tho Court Of
Appeals upon tho Pcnitenliary case.
This is virtually decision against the
propricty or necessity Of making two
cases to test the question in issue be-
tween the Legislature and the Cover
nor, and but confirms US in the opin.
ion We have always held that the &C.
ton Of the Jacobs Board in asscmb.
ling here aud inslitu!ing a suit against
the Auditor was without any justifca.
ton. When it was well known that
case would be ,mudo ut tho poniten-
tiafy, involving all the questions at is.
sue, wO could SEQ no reason for this ac-
tion in tho premises, especially in Wow
Of tho fact that meeting here aud an
ondoaVor to obtain possession Of tue
Asylum, must Of recessity ombarrass
the progress Of the work thereon, dis.
turb public tranquility, and prevent,
or at least delay handwriting laborcrs
from receiving tho just return for
their toll. 1t could accompli h moth
ing toward a solution of the difficulties;
but could only tend to increase them.
Indeed, the legitimate consequence Of
their action was to delay the further
construction Of tic Asylum, perhaps
prevent the institution from ever OBJ.
tanning the benefit Of tue appropriation
for the year 1878, and to deprive the
workingmen CT our community from
obtaining their hard earned wages.
But for tho nerve displayed By
Mcssrs. Edwards and Lewis in contin.
uing tho work, these results would
have happened. Had ordinary men
been at the head Of affairs, the work
would have been stopped, and the re.
suits indicated have followed. 10 view
Ofthcsc facts. We see no palliation for
the acts Of these gentlemen, and We
cannot too strongly condemn them.
Since writing the above, We learn
that on Monday evening last a certified
copy Of the rule for mandamus
against the Auditor was served upon
Mr.. NJ. W. Harrison, Treasurer Of the
Hospital. This is but additional cvi.
dencO Of tue desire and intention of
those gentlemen to delay aud cmbarass
further work upon the Asylum, and
further to tie up tue money now due
and owing TO the hands who have been
employed thereon.
This new move, this persistent &C.
ton Of these gentlemen, looks like
they arc determined not to lot tho Pen.

may compel Mcssrs. Edwards aud
