THEY SHOULD REMAIN IMPRISONED

Until they did agree. Before the hour OF
nine o'clock Saturday evening came the
only two Democratic membe Of the Jury
were paid Il certain sum Of money and pro
missed much larger sum II they would
agree with the majority. Thinking thar
this would be sufficient cause TO inyalidate
their verdict, and wishing TO get out Of
prison and away from the heat aud mosqui-
toes. they consented Ia a verdict, intending
TO tell the Judge all about it. When the
hour Of o o'clock Saturday night arrived
every body was surprised To hear the jury
had agreed. When the verdict was an
nounced these two iurymen wanted to ex-
plain, but Judge Lynch. in most rude and
insolent manner, stopped them and ordered
the gas put out. These jurors having no
other alternative, have since made ailida-
wits that they were bribed, and that they
only consented to the verdict to get rid Of
the torture of the mosquitoes, the heat, and
the close confinement. Il was under these
circumstances that Jacob Hawkins got a
verdict against the Picuyune for $4,000.
Now Louisiana challenges the world to
produce a civil trial that will equal in base
ness and turpitnde the trial OF Hawkins
against the Picayune. Here is Judge, now
on the bench and dealing out Kellogg law,
placed there as a reward for his misconduct
as a returning officer, suing for 100000
damages TO a character so questionable that
he does not dare to go on the witness stand
70 testify to it, bringing this suit before an
other Kellogg Judge who was counted into
office by the plaintiff and getting a verdict
through a coerced and bribed jury for
$I8,000l
But what else was TO be expected? Can
you look for an honest administration OF
Office from men who were dishonesty
placed in Office? The Offices In this State
were all filled by fraud and false swearing,
and to expect an honest administrator OF
them would be like expecting figs TO grow
on thistles. Grant and Kellogg have made
free government in Louisiana a mockery.

property, and thus subscribing the legitl-

THE GRAPHIC BALLOON a FAILURE
ITS COLLAPSE.

A second attempt to initiate the Graphic
Balloon was made last Friday, commencing
at O'Clock in the morning. difficulty
had arisen between Professor Wise and the
managers, arising principally from the pro.
fessor's opinion that the balloon had Dot been
properly constructed and of the right mate
rial, end that an ascension in it would be
suicidal. Even while the balloon Was being
filled there vas o controversy between Prof
Wise AMI Mr.. Goodsell. Mr.. Wise was not to
go, and Mr.. Donaldson, Mr.. Luat and Mr..
Alfred Ford OF the DaIy Graphic were to go,
The day was pleasant and everything was
lovely. Itwas supposed that the balloon
would be sufficiently inflated by 6 o'clock In
the evening and so for hours before that
/ time visitors to the ground arrived in great
numbers. Twenty thousand people were
present to witness the ascension and depar-
ture OF the balloon, but instead witnessed it's
collapse and failure. When the balloon waS
two thirds or three fourths inflated q loud re-
port was heard accompanied by O rushing
sound. The balloon was rent at its top and
| the escaping gas extended the rent, and in
lie 8 than minute the balloon had entirely
collapsed. The failure of the affair waa
greeted With pretty general expression of
good natured dersion.
The failure Of the Graphic Balloon has es-
tabished nothing in relation to aerial navi
cation, except that the balloon was not sub
stuntiaIly constructed and safely initiate

more in it than talk and professions: But
whatever there may be there will be no bal

Since GovernorBooth. of California
made such a splendid canvass for,
Govcrnorship of that State and res
cued it from the rule OF the Democra-
cy. we have watched his career with
interest and looked upon him as a
probable and very ayailabl7 candidate
for the vice-presidency at the next cleo
ton. His recent gallant course against
the monopoly of the Pacific Railroad
that seemed Determined to grind every
thing to powder that opposed it, has
made his name prominent throughout
the Union and if he holds it as we'll as
as he has commenced, he will stand
next to James G.. Blaine in the pres

Perhaps am little too hasty, a little
too ready to light up at minutes notice:
but there are some words that seem to
me TO carry al especial grain OF gunpow-
der in them, and the above is one o. the
sort. To have person, after you've
bean through long explanation, put his
fingers to his mental ears and query you
thus, or worse still, Haow2 is too exas-
perating for human nature to bear. But
that is what John Stringcr did to me.

ner that tantalized me beyond words.
You see, John Stringer and | were en-
gagged; we'd been engaged for long

How? said John, absently. He was
watching the Goals flicker up and die ont

and then to fling on the embers--a fash

Now had had the headache all day i,
and guess was rather more tindery
than usual, though didn't think so then I;
but when John beut his great broad
shoulders over, as If he hadn't heard a
word said, aud in fact, had something
better to occupy his mind, ! just fred mp,
first, aud then the blaze died down into
sulks, and when we parted that night
