One Of the speakers in the meeting OF the
Personal Liberty League, yesterday morning,
declared that he had kept his saloon open every
Sunday, and had not yet been fined. II all the
esloon-keepers, ho said, had kept open, there
#ould have been no trouble. The League has
determined to test the Sunday ordinance, to
turnish counsel to those who are prosecuted for
.Violating the law, and pay their fines. Money
to sustain these proceedings is to be got by

The Police Commissioners have had their
usual and regular controversy with the superin-
tendant. They have formally ovsrruled his
orders for the reorganization Of the police force,
and change OF the time occupied in patrol
duty. The Police Commissioners think they
have things fixed admirably, and regard any man
who proposes change as an inno7ator danger
GUS to society. The Commissioners evidently
would bo glad If they could force the superin-
tendent to resign, and, "a he will not do that,
they have suspended him, and propose to try

as his executor and guardian OF the two boys, en-
tered into acontract with Mr. j. 4. Mediation, tho
owner OF large estates in Mississippi, by which
the slaves, la in number, wero transferred to
McI1atton's plantations in Warrington County,
Miaeissippi. Tho slares and lands we're to be
worked in partnership between Mediation and

was, on the part OF Mediation, $4,000, and the
Douglaa heirs, 9u8, 600. The partnership Was
to continue until the boys should become Of age
The plantation, it is asserted, became one Of tho
largest and most productive in Mississippi It
when it was visited By troops under the command
OF General T. E. q. Ransom. At that tine thero
WAS an accumulation Of / ,6s5 bales of cotton on
the plantation, which WAS taken in part by
General Ransom and in part destroyed; at the
same time much other property vas destroyed.
The claimants ask compensation for at least
I 200 bales Of cotton, worth $3.50, 900. The boys
attained their majority, Robert on Jan. %, 1870,
and Stephen on the Sd of November, 1871, and
it has not been until einca the latter date that
they were in legal condition to make their de-
mnnd. During the WAT. they had no communi~

A bill Is pending before the Legislatare of
this State to change the existing law SO that the
concurrence Of nine jurors in q civil case shall
be al that is needed to secure a verdict. It is
questionable whether this can be done under the
State Constitution. Tho old style Of doing busi-
ness is perpetuated, with the exception OF trials
before Justices Of tho Peace, vhcro Jury of
less number than twelve men may DO authorized.
There is question, however, that the require
ment OF absolute unanimity in civil CAGES is
greatly sbused, and that the ends Of justicaare
often defeated BY the procurement OF even /,
single juror who will refuse to agree with his
fellows. There are large number Of civil casos
where there is hardly any need Ct jury at al, -
Cases involving mere questions Of Inv,
and which, the ends OF Justice we're
only sought, could be decided far better by
the Courts. Ve1atious litigation is prolonged
from year to year By reason OF the failures Of
juries to agree; the point sought more siren
ous1y than any other being to get one OF more
jurors who will refuse to concur in a verdict that
will end the case. These abuses are confessed,
aAu, uAe aA otAel houses, ouGAt u ID le1AeoIeui
but whether the proper remedy is the one pro-
posed by the bill bafore the Legislature Is not,
perhaps, certain, II indeed it be constitutional.
If the legal ability Of the Legislature devise
some means whereby every man can get "right
and justice freely, and without being obliged to
purchase it, completely and without denial,
promptly aud without delay" We know Of no
more important service they can render the |
State than to put that discovery in the form Of
a lew. = ..' II

Tho present Asiatic advance of Russia has
brought out severe criticism, in tho London
Graphic, Of the British Government for not
having anticipated the designs Of Russia as to
the conquest OF K1liva. Tho Graphic eays:
The day Is evidently approaching With raridity
which three four years ago would have boon pro-
nounced to be Incredible and Impossible, when the
frontiers OF Russian and British conquest will he no
longer separated by hundreds Of miles Of mountain
and steppe, ruled over by lalf Of indepcnd-
ent tribes nations, but Will have attained
very close and very alarming, proximity.
II England declines to annex the vari-
'ous independent OF Eent-independent Khan
ates and Principaes OF Central ASIA it is quito plain
that Russia is under the dominion Of mo- eucL aiable
reluctance. As afac; there ia scarcely Khanate OF
any Importance With the exception Of khira, which
has not been already taken to the comprehensive
braces Of the Northern Boar. The double-hcaded Gu
gle OF the Czrs is waving above the captnl Of the
mighty TamerIane, aud II Khiya has not been bozn-
barded and stor1ed by this tnae its time Of appropr
atqn is Gloss at hand. ~.. -. :
The comments OF tho Grdphic sufficiently dig:
close the snimus Of the present dispute between
England and Russia. For centuries, the two
powers hare been gradually appropriating and
anno1ins Asiatic territory, neither of" them
msnlfesting the reluctance Of which;
tho - Graphic speaks, and now they
are brought face. to face. The. ,coatsst
no" is, which Of the two powers shall dominate
:Asia with its immense trade. It was tho pre-
diction, OF Napoleon I. that Russiaa manifest
destiny was to drive tho English out OF Asia. In
the rapidly-approaehing struggle for territorial
supremacy, the advantage Is seemingly On the
side OF Russia by reason OF the case and rapid
ity with which the latter can. bring her immense
armies into the field, and -tha tremendous Diff

A $4,000 Parrot.

From the Now OK Sun.
"He was nineteen years old, could talk
like "a lawyer, and was the handsolnest bird
that ever lived"
That was John Enright's description OF
his parrot in the Special Sessions yester-
day.
chow much is he WORTH asked Justice
Ledwith, desiring to fix the grade Of crime
of which Thomas Miller, accused OF stealing
the bird, was guilty.
"Two thousand dollars" was the prompt
reply.
Nothing could induce Mr.. Enrisht, to
lessen his valuation. and he was allowed to
tell his story of the theft. Miller had, with
a hook and string. fished up the cage from
where it dangled from tourth-stofy WIN
dow, and skurried away with 1t over the
roofs. Mr.. Enright, hearing the cries OF the
sacred bird, had chased the thief anu caught
him. Miller was sentenced to the Peniten-
tiary for three months.
.if the cussed parrot had kept his mouth
,shut," he told the officer who escorted MIN
to the Black Maria, I'D have been all
right. He Kept beilering out Hi! Hi' and
sPolly's a bully boy!' and when | swore at
him he only kept it up the Louder. It's my
opinion that parrot is . id poor thing
to steal"
