THE NEW JURY LAW.
Orleans.

No act of the last bogus Legislature is
more fraught with mischief than the law
just promulgated which changes the
method Of drawing .juries for the Criminal
Court. The power given to the commits
sioners, who are intrusted with the selec-
ton of the jurymen, is of such character
as to inspire fear in the minds of every citi-
zen who values his own personal safety.
1t remains with these commissioners to say
who is to pass upon the guilt or innocence
Of parties charged with offenses against
the laws of the State. In the hands Of
corrupt men, this power can be exercised
with fearful effect. In these days of cor
ruptiOn and decentralization there is no tell
may be carried.
1t would appear that the object of this
law is to give to the Governor the contrc,
and direction Of the juries that may be en-
people. The commissioners are subject to
his commands, and liable to removal upon
any violation of his orders. In fact, the
colrt is at the mercy Of the Governor, who
can at any time remove the judge ard dis
place the jury commissioners.
Such power in the hands of the Executive
is inconsistent with the principles Of Ameri-
can Government, and can not be long main
tanned with any degree Of success in this
country.

ers of the State authorities in one grand
centre The judiciary. Legislature and Exc
tive are all to be directed by one hand

party by the name of johnson has ere
ated sensation in London. The ripple was
originally confined to fashionable society.
but now it has agitated the community at
large. Public excitement is intensified by
two circumstances. Firstly, nobody knows
who the party by the name Of johnson is,
except that she is woman secondly no
body knows what the party by the name of
johnson has done, except obtain presenta-
ton to the Queen. 1t was a newspaper
paragraph in the Court Journal which
brought on the fever-and-ague fit which is
still shaking London society, and this was
what it said "The presentation of Mrs.
johnson at Her Majesty's drawing-room, on
the Doth Of February, took place through
inadvertence." To be presented to the
Queen means to obtain a passport into any
society, and, naturally, great care is taken
by the Lord Chamberlain to exclude OBJ
jectionable persons. The paragraph alluded
to is sort Of warning to the arstocracy 10
beware of the party by the name of John
son.

THE NEW ELECTION LAW.
IT WILL SHORTLY BE PROMUI GATED

II is stated that in few days will be pub
lished the act known as the new election
law, and which it is claimed will place our
elections on a fair and equal basis. This act
is one which repeats certain objectionable
features in the election law promulgated by
Gov. Warmoth, and takes much Of the power
heretofore given to the State Registrar
out of his hands. 1t is otherwise, in some
minor respects, Also preferable over the OLD
law in its repeating certain objectionable
features, and giving less chance to swindle
at the pols.-Picayane, April H.
True, the usurping Legislature passed an
act repeating the act of 1873, and placing
the power of appointing officers Of regis
tration and election in the hands of police
iuries of parishes and councils of cities.
This was done in order to produce the inn
preston OH the mind Of Congress that a
fair election could be held under the regU-
lar State laws, and to convince them that
no further relief was needed. But with un-
blushing effrOntery the usurping Legisla-
ture passed another act repeating the re-
pealing act, and placing the power back in
Kellogg's hands, and these two acts now
await his signature, which he can affix
constitutionally any time before the next
meeting Of the Legislature; so that he has
it i'm his power to reinvest himself with the
full control of that election. Besides this,
the regular constitutional election in No
vember will leave all the usurping Sena-
tors, and all State officers not elected in
the fall of 1872, in power, and Congress
can no more recognize this rump with con-
sistency, than it can now recognize it at
tached to the holding over Senators.

BEHIND TIE LEVEES..

ASCENSION, April 10, 1874.
70 tae Edito s-of the New Orleans Euiletn:.
/ To-day y fine compared With. the tygs, pre-
oeding orss.. On Wednesday, a very hard
rain accompanied by a strOAg wind fnom the
north asd northwest, cansed' great anxiety
on account of the weakness of the levees
The waterin many places, is within a few
inches o the top, ofthe levee, and; is washed
over 3y the boats and Kind in some. places
| regret to. say that We have lis our parish
no such patrIsts as GEES. jeff Thompson, n no
are. willing 30 throw themselves into the
rrlas and STOP, the. washing. The Levee Com.
psny is at work baildlng a piece of new
lsvee in front of tie. plantation of DIR. Lee
care, two and bali miles above Donaldson
willie. Tae hands employed are the eonviets
from Baton Rouge, and nNmber about one
hundred and fifty or sixty men. They seem
to work well an5 are under good discipline.
If tAe Levee Company expect to- build all
the lavees in she State with the conviets,
the courts must be more active and furnish
the material. What Ane recruiting stations
they have. Let them go for tae members of
the Legislature. Go for the thieves in the
public Offices even out of the courts might
be draughted few How secure our peo-
pie conld sleep Knowing that Durrell was
" boss of gang on tho last watch; that a
midnight order would build a levee in a
night, as one had robbed a people of its
rights. Put the man in his right place.
We are glad to see that there is one paper
published in English that is striking some
home thrusts at the corruptionists and band
cd thieves in the State. We hear of the in
dependence of the press. How many of the
Radical papers in this State would exist
and how long, if the public printing, and
all that the laws require should be printed
by them, and them alone was taken away
from them. Just about as long as the AS
cension Leader, that gave one gasp, closed
up and had no mourners. No, not even its
confrere the Chief, who in very bad taste
reioiced at its sudden demise, cut off with
out time for preparation. Save us from our
friends. BEHIND THE LEvEES.

HOW DIR, NEWMAN MAKES HIS OFFICE
PAY.

The present City Council elected colored
gentleman by the name of Newman to the
position of member of the Board of Health.
Finding that an opportunity was offered to
him as sanitary inspector of the Board, to
take in a few stray dOllars-he entered into
contract with DR.. Anfoux, of the Small
pox Hospital, to send him patients at the
rate of five dollars per head. At the time OF
his election, there was number OF small
pox patients in the Third District, but these
he refused to send to the hospital unless he
was paid five dollars head from DIR.
Anfoux, who received fifty dollars from the
city for each patient.
Notwithstanding these wellknown facts
of Matchmaking, he has been reelected to
the office of Sanitary Inspector Of the Sec
ond District. This is commentary upon
the City Administrators, who were expected
to do something better for the people who
elected them to their offices. In justice to
Mayor Witt, however. we would state that
the delinquencies of this man Newman
were by him laid before the Council prior to
the reelection of this sO-called doctor rs a
member Of the Board of Health. But not
withstanding this renOnstrance, the indi-
vidual was elected, with NJ. Fitzenreiter
alone voting against him.
We are curious to know how the Second
District can profit by the services of such
person as Newman. Bent on making money,
and ignorant of every principle of hygien y
he seems to have in view nothing beyond !
the almighty dollar. And such is the class
Of people who are placed in position to direct
the sanitary welfare of great city like New

Out OF Evil Cometh GDol.

Had it not been for the newspaper strike,

tees of paEties whose SOCIAL, financial and
political position should have not only been
honest, bus above suspicion.
Such now cannot be the case with Mr..
Schneider. the Administrator Of Finance. He
has clearly failed in portions Of his duty to
the public, who placed him in his response
bic position to take care of and protect the
interests Of this whOse community, AS for
the Investigations TOW going Oh at the City
Hall, we think that outside ANA disinterest-
ed parties should bave conducted it, and not
those who are connected With him in OsHce
life. We have had enough of Congressional
Investigations in fact. so much and so many
of them, that investigation in the minds
of the public was interpreted Significantly

arrive at truth. and We have no reason to
think otherwise, then we demand that this

scented in this matter.

|, arose from the chair with the exclamation ::
ooh! have sat on an egg, Mrs. B, come
quick and fix it for me- slowly walking to-
ward the door 10 his room the while, and
walking very sedately, his shoulders drawn
up and scarcely any motion visible except
his legs walking slowly along till he got the
door partly open, when he suddenly stopped
an, said oh! left it in my overcoat.'"
