JUDICIAL ANTICS.

BY our kilograms published yesterday,
we learn of curious judicial farce
played down in New Orleans, We are
aware that in that region judges Of the
carpet bag persuasion and legislatures of
the same stripe, are not remarkable
either for wisdom or purity, but we were
not prepared for the curious develop
ment revealed by the late dispatches. 1t
appears that the last Legislature that
blessed Louisiana, passed a law which
empowers the judges where juries can
not agree, to discharge the jury ana de-
eide the case by the Court. This is
beautiful state of things, is it not. But
it shows the charming, childlike naiyete
with which the carpet Dagger seeks to
attain his innocent desires. Under this
ingenious system all that has to be done
to secure the conviction OF an Obnox-
ious individual, is to get n man on the
jury that will not agree with the others,
and then by the aid of Judge OF the
Durell stamp, who are as plenty as black
berries, the thing is done. Is an acquit-
tai desired by this means, the matter is
also handsomely fixed. Now in good,
sober earnest, do not these fantastic
tricks, miscalled administration of JUS
tice, cause every good citizen to almost
despair of staying the dirty flood of cor
ruption that threatens to destroy every
vestige of decency, honor and integrity
in the manipulation of the public affairs
OF the country. As to the cases in which
the proceedings We criticise were had,
they amount to nothing. They were
simply these: The several proprietors of
theater and saloon situated in New
Orleans, had refused to admit or serve
with drinks certain negroes. For the
matter of that, we think if negroes are
good enough to make United States
Senators, Congress, State and other Off
GERS, they are good enough to enter a
theater, or be served in a saloon. But
we do not speak of the matter in regard
to these particular cases, but to the
principle OF the thing. That is what we
look at, and we think it deserves serious
consideration when we find that Judges
are usurping the province of the jury,
and literally deciding the guilt or inno-
ceuce OF the accused, though the Consti-
tuition of the United States guarantees
the right OF trial by jury

DEFERRED TELEGRAMS.

SAN DIEGO, May 19.-Word was brought
to the city last night of horrible muir
der committed near San Dugieta about
2G miles from here. A neighbor passing
and noticing no one stirring about the
premises, upon investigation found a
man lying near the door with his head
beaten evidently with piece of scapt-
ling; his wife was lying on the floor near
the stove with her head split open by an
AK; an infant girl few months old was
lying in the cradle, also killed with an
ak; a boy about nine years old, who
crawed under the bed, apparently TO
hide, was struck by an ak while in that
position, splitting his head; two children,
boy and girl, five years old, were ~
ing on a bed with their heads split open,
evidently with the same instrument,
which has been found. The blood on
the weapon being bright and red, gives
reason for the belief that the murder was
done on Friday or Saturday. The muir
dered man was John Overend, a native
of Ireland, So years of age, quiet and re-
spected highly, was married one year ago
to Mrs Mary Horsefeld. The children
were Mrs. Households by her first hus-
band. Overend was last seen in San
Diego May 2, when he sold wool to W.
W. Stewart Of this city, and then pur-
chased bill of goods of Gordon & Has
tard of this city. Father Z. Miguel
Aquirre and others, being notified of the
murder and being near the scene, went
to examine the premises and found the
massacre had evidently been committed
about dusk, as all the supper dishes was
still standing on the table and all the
victims in their day clothes. They found
everything turned upside down; the
goods purchased from Gordon g. Has
tard, Henry rifle, SCI in money, a GER
tlhcate of deposit for $1,000 and prom
issory note for 500 were evidently un-
noticed by the murderers. The Coro-
ners inquest begun yesterday has not
yet rendered a verdict. One will proba-
bly, be brought in this evening. No clue
TO the murderers yet.

GARRuLoUs GRASSY.-The San Fran
cisco Alta is mad at Congressman Lut-
trell, or else is paid to throw dirt at him;
probably both. In either case the old
dame sputters as Indignantly as one of
the witches in Macbeth. One of the
latest .mumblings the old lady gave to
the world was to class Luttrell with land
grabbing Garrahan and some disreputa-
bic lobbyists. We submit that this is a
little too thin and shows that the Alta
would like to say something mean, but
has not wit enough to put it in decent
shape. Luttrell exposes postal frauds,
Luttrell denounces the Contract and
Finance Company who stole all the Pa
cifc Railroad and half the money paid
for it, and the Alta classes him with land
grabbers and lobbyists. That is clearly
non sequitur. You must try again, old
lady, if you want to say something that
hurts, or that any one will believe.

ONE of the Shoshone Indians who had
recently camped in this locality, having
committed an outrage, received at the
hands of the men of the tribe severe
and peculiar punishment for his dis
graceful ofiense. He was taken to a
quiet place, some distance from the
camp, and after being stretched on the
ground was severely tied down. -Four
warriors with loaded guns then stood
guard over his body. At times they
scarified and punctured his arms, either
as solemn judicial acts, or merely by way
of amusing themselves and gratifying
their cruel instincts. Exposed to the
rays of hot sun, without food or water,
the offender lay in the same position for
six days. until becoming completely ex-
hausted, he was liberated, more dead
than alive. Whether he was restored to
tribal rights cannot be ascertained; and

parties concerned, it is hard to get at the

WASHINGTON, May 10.-A letter from
the Mayor of New Orleans to gentleman
in Washington says that unless the ap-
preparation for the relief Of the suffer
ers there be increased to one million
dollars, thousand persons there must
perish-even that amount seems barely
sufficient.
Congress should send down commit
tee of reliable citizens to superintend the
distribution of the relief funds, for if the
money or rations get into the hands of
the carpetbaggers, that is the last of the
relief money, and the real sufferers will
never See a cent Of it.

Mr.. SARToRIs and bride travelled by q
special Pullman train from Washington
to New York. The bridal car was hand
somely ornamented inside with floral
decorations, and the American and Brit
ish flags were prominently entwined
about the train. There is trace OF
snobbery in this foolish display Eu-
reka Sentinel.
We think so too; and another trace was
that United States vessel was pressed
into service as tender to carry the bri-
dial party from the wharf at New York to
the steamer, and still another, that the
Baltic was superbly decorated for the ac-
commodation Of the newly married
couple. All this is an excess of Jenkins
ism and snobbery. But some folks will
slop over, do what you will, though we
imagine that if the feelings of bride and
bridegroom had been consulted, there
would have been much less of this fun
merry.

place on the lives of their mothers may

years imprisonment, the same term that
at Carson the other day an Indian was
