An Executive Pardon Overru,ed.

The Governor and Senate of this State
lately pardOned, or attempted to pardon,
Hugh and Palmer Dickson for killing T. C.
Kirk OF this parish, before any trial or con.
viction had been had. The validity of this
pardon has been called in question. The
DICKSON brothers have been arrested, and
their case is before the district court now In
session in this parish. The question of the
validity of the pardon was brought up on
Thursday in the trial of plea in bar, filed
BY the defendants. They were represented
by Albert Fl. Leonard and w. G. Melon.
aid, Esqs., and the State by T. W. Fuller,
district attorney, and Judge A. Il. Leyisee.
Defendants attorneys argued that ac-
cording to our law, as expounded by the
supreme Court, the precedents of England
IN criminal matters were to be followed
here; that the Governor, being the execu.
tive, was in place of the King, the execu-
tive of England, as to the pardOning power;
that the King, by all authorities and prece-
dents, could pardon before conviction, and
hence that the Governor and Senate here
could pardon before conviction. On the
other hand, the States attorneys agreed
that the pardoning power was not Inherent
IN the Governor. but only given him by the
constitution; that the power, by article
fifty eight of the constitution, of pardoniny
Is Limited to after conviction; that this imi-
tatlon was Intentional, as was shown by
the fact that the constitution of 1912 had
not the Limitation, but the other constitu-
tions had
In rebuttal. defendants attorneys argued
that there was really no limitation OF the
pardonIng power by the constitution; that
what the State set up as such only affected
the remission of fines and torfeitures:"
that the pardon being passed unanimously
by the Senate, several of whose members
had been in the Constitutional Convention
OF 1868, showed such to be the intention of
the convention.
The judge overruled the plea, deciding
that the constitution did limit the pardon
ing power to after conviction. and that
the .pardons were illegal and
void.-Bossier Banner.

Referring to the bill introduced in the
House by Mr.. Cox. to authorize the Circuit
Courts Of the United States to issue writs
OF mandamus in certain cases, the New

This is in the interest of the Louisiana
bondholders, who are anxious to prevent
the spoliation and cOntiscation Of their
moneys by reason of the so-called funding

Graham VS.. Norton, Is Wallace, 427, the
courts Of the United States have at present

The Sanborn Case.
A full jury has been obtained in the San.
born case. The district attorney, in open.
ing the argument, claims that Sanborn and
others have deirauded the government.
The trial OF Jobu D. Sanborn, Lucien
Hawley and Alfred Wander worken, on in
dictment charging them with conspiracy to
detraud the revenue department, was COM
menced in the United States District Court
before Judge Benedick in BROOKLYN.
The indictment sets forth that these par.
ties, being officers duly appointed, intended
to defraud the treasury of fifty per cent of
the sums OF money due to it for taxes on
legacies, SUGGESTIONS, distributive shares on
estates, on March 25, 1873.
The second count in the Indictment
charges that these parties, on the second of
August last, collected 1850 legacy taxes
on the will of the late Richard Ellis, which
they did not deliver into the treasury.
lhe district attorney appealed tor the
prosecution and B. +. Tracey for the de-
fendants.
Sanborn could not have received this
money II Hanley and Vanderwork had not
entered. Vanderwork was in government
receiving salary of 5000 per an.
,um. He had charge of taxes, and his |
business was to make returns of legacies
md SUGGESTIONS. He called attention to
he law which authorized the Secretary of
he Treasury to employ three persons to a..
list the proper official of the State in col
ecting this money which was withheld
rom the government.
The counsel would show that manv of
hese estates on which money had been per
contract paid to Sanborn were not settled.
md some of them were not due.

tired Of being robbed by their public Off
GERS, and called to Justice to see that the
offenders should be punished.
The first witness called and sworn was
Joseph II. Robinson, assistant solicitor of
the Treasury, Washington. He identified
the proposal of agreement between VIII
liam A. Richardson, Secretary of the Treas
ury, and John D. SanbOrn, also a list of
| claims which Sanborn proposed to collect

WlsneG 10 know what the prosecution would
prove by the witness.
Inc district attorney replied that they
proposed to offer in evidence the contract
and the letter of the Secretary of the
treasury IN relation to it, and would also
offer statements concerning list of names
referred to in the Indictment.
The defense opposed the Offering of the
contract for any testimony in regard to it
in evidence on the ground that the section
OF law under which defendants were in
dicted set forth that revenue officers could
only be punished for conspiring with an
outside person to defraud. He claimed
that SanbOrn had right to fifty per cent of
the taxes collected, no matter by whom or
at what time, y the contract existed then.
He had another objection, and that was
that the contract schedule or list of estates
were not set forth in the indictment, and a
copy OF the contract should be attached to
the indictment, and he claimed that it was
fatal omission in leaving out the contract
Counsel argued that the indictment was
detective In that the contract schedule or
LIST OF estates were not set forth, and held
that the evidence was inadmissable in char
acter.
The district attorney, in answer, stated
that the indictment had been drawn a.
specifically as possible
The conspiracy was the gist of the Of
tense, and everything else might be left
out.
Counsel read the terms of the contract.
The contract never implied that Sanborn
should receive fifty per cent of claims. If
he did not assist the officers in recovering
and collecting the taxes, counsel tor the
other side wished to know under what law
the indictment was proved
Counsel tor prosecution held that it came
under the law of 1863
The argument continued at great lenQah
on both sides, and the court adjourned with
out giving its decision.

From the correspondent of the
Portland Bulletin tie astounding
fact reaches lis that Hon. M. p.
peady, Judge, was all aspirant for
the Chief Justiceship. The cores
pondent asserts that Deadly wrote a
letter to a friend in Washington,
enclosing several nice photographs
Of himself, requesting said friend
to present the letter and one Of the
photographs to President Grant, in
case Williams was withdrawn or
rejected, with the suggestion that
the writer n the letter and the sub
ject Of the "picter" was the "most
suitable man in the world to be
appointed Chief Justice!" And
yet, although Williams name was
withdrawn and the letter and "pic-
ter" of Deadly presented to Grant,
poor Deadly failed to get a. nom
iuation-probably a thought OF
him in that direction never entered
the Presidents head. Poor Old
Deadly! Chopfalen Judge! Cha
griued Deadly, j.! This stroke of
genius on tic part OF the Judge
ought to have met with some sort
Of response. His great talents
