a Story About n Bishep.

Respect for the body ecclesiastical
does not prevent the travelling OF this
small story through the English pa
pers. The Bishop of Litchfield hath a
taste for walking, and on one occasion,
some time ago, he walked from a
church in the Black Country TO the
railway station where he was to take
the train for home. On the way he
happened to observe group OF men
sitting together on the ground, and i'm
mediately resolved to SAY word in
season" to them, after the fashion OF
the Galip Haroun or the average dis
trict tract distributor well, my good
men," said his lordsbip inc0gaito, what
are you doing?' The response OF one
of the men was not calculated to
please and encourage the anna
bic preIate ave bin a loyin,'
he said." Lying" said the hor-
rifed Bishop; what do you meanY'
"Whv, yer see" was the explanation,
zone on us fun q kettle, and we bin a
irwin who can tell the biggest lie to
have it," "Shocking" said the Bish-
on, ana straightway improving the oc-
casion he proceeded to impress upon
the sinners the enormity Of lying. He
informed them that he had been taught
that one of the greatest sins WAS TO tell
a lie, and, in fact, so strongly had this
been urged upon him that never in the
whole course of his life had be told a
lie. Would that we might relate how
those wicked men we're moved and
charmed by the recital Of such saintli-
ness! Alas no sooner had the excel
lent Bishop made this announcement
than there was a gleeful shout, "Gie tn
governor tn kettle; sic tn governor tn
kettle"

Law and Justice In Louisiana.

From the New York Express.
The duel in Louisiana had a polItI-
cal cause, which resulted, in death.
The facts are briefly told. Jacob
Hawkins, plaintiff, against the New
Orleans P:cayuns, was one OF the Lynch
Returning Board, which counted KEEL
logg into office, and, with the assistance
OF marshal Packard and the United
States army, set up q Legislature and
State officers who had been defeated at
the election. To award Hawkins, the
Legislature abolished two OF the New
Orleans courts and Get up third. OF
which Hawkins was made Judge. He
held his commission from Pinchbeck,
made q fictitious Governor by the ficti-
tious Legislature that impesched Gov
ernor Warmotb.
Hawkins and his associates made
bogus Legislature, which bogus Legis-
lature made a bogus Governor and
bogus court, which bogus Governor
made Hawkins a bogus Judge. The
case was investigated by a committee OIL
the United States Senate, which report
ed that Hawkins and his associates
were guilty OF an outrageous fraud.
When this report reached New Orleans
the New Orleans Picdyune charged
Hawkins with "perfdy and perjury
as a returning officer, and called upon
members OF the bar not to prac-
tice before his Court. For this he
brought a libel suit, and claimed one
hundred thousand dollars damages.
The Judge-"Barney" Lynch-also
owed his judicial honors to the Lynch
Returning Board, Of which Hawkins
was a member. Judges, Governors and
officials held each other up. The Pea
ylne met he'complaint with justitica-
lion, and proposed to prove that Haw-
kins took an oath, as returning officer,
that he would carefully and honestly
canvas and compile the statements OF
the votes, and make true and correct
return of the election, and that be
violated this oath. The case was heard
after o ashton, and the jury were out
two DAYS and one night, when they rem
dered a verdict Of $4,000 for Judge
Hawkins One of the twelve stated In
Court that they had been "iorced to il"
another attempted statement which
the Judge refused to hear. A new trial
was asked, and in the affidavit the de-
PENDANTS swore that two OF the jurors
had confessed that they were bribed,
and that one George Walker, q crier OF
the Court, acknowledged being the IN
gtrumept Of the bribery. The motion
was refused. Walker, relative OF
Judge Lynch, has disappeared since the
trial.
Here 1s record which began 10
perfdy, advanced in infamy, culmnat-
ed in a duel, and ended in death.
