COMMUNICATED
The appellate Power of the Supreme
Court.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN2
With characteristic 'disengenuousness the
P;1ayuns of yesterday morning attempts to
influence tEe minds hf those who may be
called 10 sit as Jurors in the cases of Judges
Ludehpc and Hawkins VS.. the Picayune
Publishing Company. Evidently the pro-
prietors OF that Journal fear the result of an
unpreiudlced verdict, else they would not
SO laboriously strive 10 torestan that YER
diet.
In an article Of twO columns the editor
.'proposes' to show that the verdict of the
Supreme Cour. in the suit Of Perret vs. the
New Orleans Times was contrary to the
laws of Louisiana. We say proposes" adj
visedlv. for that is az near as he comes to
doing it.
The editor Of the yituperative organ may
be fully versed in notification and other
pestilential doctrines peculiar to his native
State, but he certainly betrays a wotul
ignorance OF our law when he proposes"
10 do such an impossible thing.
If one OF his readers never looks into any
other paper, but accepts the dictG Of the
Picag,l,ac as law, he may be able to do " hat
he proposes.
Unfortunately for the credit of the Pea.
y,,,te as an expounder of the law, the Su-
preme Court Of this State for long series
Of years has differed with it.
In giving the law, the Picaytnse quotes
article 3l3, Code OF Practice, which does
not apply 10 the case at bar. and oniits to
quote article COS, Code of Practice, which
says:
When the Supreme Court reverses the
Judgment of an inferior court, it shall pro
nounce on the case the judgment which the
lower court should have rendered, if it be
in possession OF all the facts and testimony
to enable it to pronounce definitely.
That this article controls the case, is evi-
dent in reference to the following decision:
"As the Supreme Court possesses the
right, and is under TIE obligation of exam
ing questions of fact as well as those of
law and as it is not provided with Jury it
is sometimes it's duty to pronounce on
question of fact in direct opposition to the
verdict of Jury; otherwise there might be
cases in which suitOrs could not be relieved
from erroneous decisions below: and where
the supreme court enlefValns no DOUBT
upon the evidence. which is sufficient to do
justice between the parties, the case will
not be remanded, but be decided in direct
opposition to the verdict or judgment in the
lower court" Vide Hennen's Digest, volume
], page 81, and cases there cited.
Where the judgment appealed from is
reversed, though based upon verdict, the
appellate court will render such judgment
as the court quG should have rendered if
the evidence Ill the record will enable it to
do so. Ibid.
Clearly the legal editor of the Picayatne
is a mere pretender TO knowledge of Louis
lana law, or he is wilfully misleading his
confiding readers.
The tax-resisters had better not put too
much faith in P;cayltae law, or they will
have cause to repent it. The dictG of
the Picaytne are as well founded in one
case as in the other. LEX.

Failure of the Crescent City National
BanA.

Failure of the Crescent City National
BanA.
The money market became somewhat IN
settled yesterday. owing to rumor which
extensively obtained about the middle of
the day that the Crescent City National
Bank had failed. Subsequent inquiries de-
monstrated the fact that the rumor was
true, and that the bank had been taken
charge of by Colonel Case, receiver of the
First National Bank. 1t is stated that this
bank loses heavily by the DeLizardi fail
ure-sOme say to the amount OF t7O,O00.
If this be the case it indicates gross mis-
management on the part of the directors,
if not criminal neglect, since under the
banking law one quarter of the capital is
required to be kept always On hand. 1t ls
stated that one hundred shares of this bank
were sold on Thursday at SIS per share.
Yesterday morning early they were offered
at Sll and refused.
The capital stock Of this corporation, ac-
cording 10 their semi-annual statement
dated February l, is 100000; loans and
discounts, $659, ,7S5 09; circulation, s45G, 600;
surplus fund, $620i 81; individual deposi-
tors, S79.03l 81. A five per cent dividend
was declared January q.
The president Of this bank has been one
of the most prominent movers in the citi-
zens' committee Of two hundred, which has
been sort Of monetary cornucopia OF the
McEnery politicians. His name also ap-
pears as one of the signers to the bond
which enabled Colonel McEnery to supply
his militia with arms to inaugurate the re
cent riot in this city.

4 Wonderful Preacher Among Us.

Mr.. D. L. Moody, of Chicago, so widely
and favorably known in Christian circles in
this country and in Great Britain, is in our
city and is holding a series of meetings in
the Coliseum Place Church, corner Of Camp
and Terpsichore streets. Mr.. Moody is an
Evangelist of rare power and skill in un-
folding the Scriptures, and his remarks are
full of pith and point, filled with striking
and original illustrations drawn from a
wide and varied experience. His Bible lee
lures during the week have been of intense
interest to the crowds who have thronged
the church, and not only have the people
been greatly pleased, but built up in the
word of God. While in England last year
multitudes attended his ministry and hun
dreds were ranked among the converts.
This is his first visit to this city, and after
tarrying a week or two longer he will sail
for England to resume his work IN that
country. NJ. Moody will preach in the
CarOndelet Street Methodist Episcopal
Church on Sunday morning, repeating by
request his sermon TO parents and Sunday
school teachers. On Sunday night and
every night next week he will preach in the
Coliseum Place Church.

Eulogy on the Late DIR. Stone.

We publish on an inside page of the
REPUBLICAN report of the commencement
exercises of the Medical College yesterday,
together with that part of the eulogy on
the late Dr. Warren Stone by Professor
James Jones. ". d, which is fit for publica-
ton.
The aged and learned professor Of the
medical art has marred his address by un-
called for allusions to the controversies of
the past in a spirit of bitterness that de-
mands rebuke from all good citizens.
In the spirit Of passive rebuke we have
omitted that portion of the eulogy which
refers to General Butler in terms that
should not be expressed by any gentleman
occupying an honorable position in society.
The Objectionable expressions are positively
indecent, and cannot be repeated in these
columns.
