The Graphic, of the 21st, occupies its
the Hon. Samuel Blatchford. Under
tho portrait are Judge Blatchford's
words: "rhc constitution says that all
trials shall be by jury, and the accused
is entitled not to be first convicted by
u court and then to be acquitted by a
jury, but to be convictid or acquitted
i'll the most instance by Il jury" These
words, says the Graphic, "havc made
him famous and will be long quoted as
most memorable in legal annals"
while the decision Of which they form
part "has not only brought the Judge
prominently before the people but has
given him a wide popularity"

The DcSiarl Street Work.

The 1ntclligenccr- has not served its
friends we'll by its explanation of the
DcSiard street business. From what
we have heard on tho outside, we
can't help believing that there is some
rascality in tho business.
We should like to know
l. Was the contract let out to the
lowest bidder? If so, when and how I:
?. Who had tho job, and was the
contractor considered responsible?
3. We sec that Willie Day, a boy,
is allowed $54 so for work, when, as
we arc told, he received only about

boy, is allowed $l2 90, when he work.
ell at so cents per day, and worked, as
we arc told, only about - days: how
are these discrepancies explained? Did
these two boys together work to the
value of 500 j0' If they did not, why
lid Mcssrs. McGinnis, Hill and Hanna
allow that amount:
4. Did not Mr.. II. q. Dobson pro-
pose to do the work, which $500 will
"covcr,' for 5000, or less ? Will Mr..
DObsOn answer?
5. BY what right had any one to
have the bitches OF Wood, Grammont
and Washington streets cleaned out,
under II resolution providing only for
the filling up of DeSiard street?
6. What is the distance on DcSiard
tilledup, forwhat width, and what depth,
and how long would it require one
man and cart to do the work?
Let us have these queries answered,
and we shall sec whether, or not there
has been sshecnanigan" going on in
the Council.

An Immense Newspaper.

The New York Herald of April 6, ap-
peared in quintuple form, with twenty
pages and one hundred aud twenty col
umns, feat never paralleled in the histo-
ry of the daily press. The Herald cele-
brates this extraordinary event by de-
scription which our readers will thank us
for reproducing:
1.-The Herald contains to-day one hun
dred and twenty columns of matter, of
which seventy-eight are occupied With
compact, solid advertisements. There are
in these one hundred and twenty columns
about one million ems. To stereotype to-
days edition one hundred and forty y-eight
plates are cast, each plate weighing thirty
eight pounds, thus making total weight
of five thousand six hundred and twenty
four pounds of metal used in stereOtyping
this single edition. The paper is printed
on five Hoe rotary eight and ten cylinder
presses and two Bullock perfecting
presses, being seven presses in all, which
enables us to issue the edition at the rate
of one thousand sheets per minute, taking
two hours and half to issue one hundred
and fifty thousand papers. AS this work
four hours, the labor can readily be imag-
ined even by those not familiar with the
business. Day and night the endless
round of work goes on. While men in
ordinary occupations rest and sleep, the
ceaseless task of journalism knows no in
| termission. Click, click, click 60 the
types into the sticks day and night, night
and day, until the one million ems have
been set up and the matter proved and
corrected. Day and night, night and day,
the telegraph is at work bringing us intel
ligence from all quarters of the globe /;
the corps of correspondents, reporters
and editors are busy obtaining news, put
ting it into shape or commenting upon
the events of the moment; the proof
readers are at their post, pursuing their
onerous and weary task; the stereotypers,
pressmen and assistants are awaiting the
instant when their services are to be
brought into requisition for there can be
no delay, no pause, no rest, until the daily
paper is off the press and ready to go into
the hands of its readers. All this for eacf
DAVIS paper, and all to be done within the
space of twenty-four hours Day anC
