THE CIRCUIT COURT.

The United States government is well
served in the officers of the Circuit Court
in this city. Judge Woods, District At
to rney Beckwith, Marshal Packard, and
| his able and energetic deputies, recently
a nd yet we understand, headed by Colonel
DeKlyne, the faithful and fearless; Chief
| Clerk Wolfey, and all Of them, have just
pa ssed through one of the most trying
| scenes that often falls to the lot of officers
| of their position-a protracted trial OF
prisoner for quasi political ofenses
T heir labors have been severe, and their
| patience sorely tried. But they have so
conducted themselves as to win the COM
| n endation of all fair-miuded persons.
The burden of labor has fallen upon MIR.
Beckwith, that of responsibility upon
Judge Woods. 1t does not often happen
that the physical energies are so severely
taxed. Many Of the friends of Mr.. Beck
with feared he would be unable to go
through, but in this they were happily
disappointed. He closed the argument
with one OF the most powerful and con-
vincing speeches ever made before jury
IN this Or any other city. In that address
nothing seemed to be forgotten or over
looked, but the whole case was presented
like a panorama. Event followed event in
such logical order and so we'll fortified by
the evidence that the result was shown in
the verdict
Throughout the whole trial Judge
Woods has given the closest attention to
every circumstance. He has given the
counsel for defense every opportunity the
law and usage allow to quit their clients,
and, though the examination of witnesses
was extremely lengthy aud urinteresting
he permitted them ali the time they re-
quired to make their arguments. With
the exception Of some weak attempts,
which have been made by the police re-
por tiers Of daily paper to badger and
bully this upright judge and truly great
man, We have heard only expressions of
admiral ion for his conduct. And even in
the exception alluded to, there has been
no att empt to show that be has erred in
one Of his rulings, or that he could have
been more lenient to the prisoners and
yet not exceed duty. The bar of New Or
leans have watched these proceedings
with great care from beginning to end,
wit bout Offering one dissenting opinion.
Tr ue it would not be altogether proper for
the n to do SO, yet there are many lawyers
am ong them who would not be at all |
II dest about it if a fair opportunity were
There are several questions that arose
during the trial which were yesterday
submitted, on motion Of counsel for the
defense. Blu. the judge has imperative
en- gagenents elsewhere, and was COM
PEELED to adjourn the hearing to the twen-
tieth, when it is possible Judge Bradley
may be here to sit with him.

SPIRIT OF TIE SALOONS.

The saloon is an institution. It sup
plies the means of learning commercial
facts and political opinions derived else
where from the daily meetings of the ex-
change and board of trade. One of our
city journals has long adopted this simple
and sagacious mode Of learning what its
constituents desire. A tour of the saloons
furnishes the daily materials and the
views Of those who congregate at the
saloons 60 forward to the country as the
sentiment of the city. 1t is very well,
but the public abroad should know the in
spiration of the sentiment.
tits natural that the tenor Of these ex-
pressioas should vary with the strength

WALKING The WIRE.

If we could spare the cost or daemed
the game worth the ammunition, We
would order from Mast a block engraving
viii Oh would represent an athlete rather
| puffy and past prime, essaying to walk the
wire of immovable neutrality" at a
height Of humiliation above the political
pave ment. The wire walker should bear
baia nee pole, each end whereof should
be ornamented with toy balloon, labeled
respectively principles and patriot
ism" The eye should be fixed steadily
upon point imperceptible to the popular
Wis ion, but which microscopically exam
in ed would reveal the words 'spublic
printing and patronage" The features
Of his immovable equiLbrist are rigid.
They express no emotion at the perilous
toll of advancing up the sleeper grade
which approaches the object We
would have the air Glled with the dead
cats, old shoes and condemned eggs
OF Democracy, which are hurled in
noisome and uninterrupted shower to
deter the resolute Snowman from achiev-
ing the daring feat There might be
quizzical Republican, possibly of color,
with his finger on his nose, welding
chop ak, prepared to sever the wire be-
tween the Snowman and the prize at the
moment he should stretch forward his
hand to grasp it. There is another i'm
pediment intruded upon this ''immovable
neutrality" The Ninth Ward Democratic
Club has been breathing slaughter
against all who shall not join the move
ment represented by them. This threat
our neighbor of the Pic takes to itself
and hastens to say that
We are very glad to see the clubs organ
izing. II the white people OF New Orleans
ever needed unity OF purpose and stead
fas tness OF resolution, they need it now.
This arrives at very much the same re-
suit intended by the ninth ward. Prac-
tically that ward viii not nominate
negro nor carry any negro vote. The
Picayune, advocating a ''white mans
party" will vote the Democratic ticket
because it will be exclusively white
mans ticket. They will thus harmonic.
The state ment, then, that 'there is no
magic n the word Democrat, no convic-
ton in these vague declarations Of patri-
otism and purity" only means that Dem
ocratic success may be attained by other |
means as well as by an open avowal.
This last brickbat SHE'D at the equilibrist |
will not disturb the steadiness Of its step |
nor the fxity of its vision. The Repub- |
ican man and brother viii therefore step |
forward at the moment Of promised sue |
cess and tumble the wire fellow into the |
network of oblivion spread prudently be-
meath him.
