MORE TESTIMONY WANTED.

The House of Representatives has I'M
posed a most unpleasant duty upon
Messrs. Pinchback and Sheridan. The
resolution that was finally passed de-
clares that the evidence before the
House does not show that either was
elected. This is equivalent to demand
upon the contestants for more testimony.
When we consider that in all probability
every fact which it was possible to OBJ
tain has been marshaled on one side or
the other, this demand for more will
seem to be little burdensome. As
everything connected with tue election in
this State mas been published and re-
published in every leading paper in the
country, Congressman Of average intel
Ggence ought not to set up plea Of
ignorance nearly two years after the
event. 1t looks as though there has been
a pretty square case of lodging.

SUPERINTENDENT BROWN AND TEE Bull.
IETIN

We have been greatly mystifed by read
ing in the Bulletin what is evidently in
tended as sharp critique upon Superin-
tendent Browns admirable annual report.
We are in the dark in two very important
respects in connection with the elaborate
essay referred to- In the first place, We
are unable to say, after carefully reading
the somewhat dull production over three
or four times, what the writer was trying
to show or establish, and We are puzzled
beyond measure when we attempt to find
out whether he succeeded or not. The
thing which SO mystifes us, however, has
rather excited some of our friends, sew
eral Of whom have sent US elaborate rolls
Of manuscript, some of which is Of a de-
cidedly demolishing character.
Now, we assure these good gentlemen
that there IS not the slightest occasion for
their becoming rufied Such inno2ay,

therefore, no earthly reason why su

The NORRIS KURDERERs.

About thirty misguided men of Frank
lin parish have just rounded off one hor-
rid crime by perpetrating another of equal
gravity. Tie Norris brothers were sus-
pected Of the murder and robbery of an
old fatboat trader On Bayou Macon, ar
rested and locked up to await trial. There
is every reason to believe the accused
were guilty, and little doubt existed that
they would be punished according to law.
But it appears the rougher elements pre-
vailed in Franklin in this case, as they
have before in the same place. Not content
to aw ait the slow process Of the law, whose
mandate would have come to the doomed
men all too soon for them, they antici-
pated the ebbing hours, broke into the
Jail and inflicted the outrage Of murder
upon the entirely defenseless wretches.
We have 10 sympathy for the Norrises.
They doub tless richly deserved the death
they met. But we reprobate the foul
spirit of lawlessness that actuated their exc
cutioners. IL manifesting their indignation
for crime, and under pretense of avenging
the broken law, they themselves break both
human and divine laws, and add another
great rime to the already bloody annals Of
Franklin parish. Such spasmodic exLibi-
tons Of virtue are always dangerous to the
co immunity in which they are exhibited,
and when followed, as in the present case,
by crime, the ofense is magnifed in
emo rmity in proportion to the numbers
engaged in it. A v;rtuous community is
car eful to set the example of respecting
and obeyirg its own laws, and never seeks
to enforc e penalties from motives of re-
venge. Not SO with the more savage. A
hunt after poor human victim becomes
an exciting sport The humanities are
forgotten and all the worst Of human
passions come to the surface and find
vent in the cry of the mob to "kill him.
There is no time for reflection. While a
witness was stammerlng through the tes
timony to prove an alibi, the mob would
demonstrate one on the spot. Thus the
principles of Magma Charta, the right of
trial by jury, and all the means of de-
tense which good men have freely bestow-
ed upon the worst offenders have been
again sum marily set aside, and another
bad eza mple given to the youth of State
that lays claim to being enlightened. If
there is to be lynch law, let it be applied
to the fountai head of the difficulties
which stand in the way of enforcing our
criminal laws. Let it be invoked in cases
where it may possibly do some good. A
perjured juror, for instance, who has just
released red handed murderer against
evidence of common sense, might occa-
sionally be lynched to good advantage
But let US spare the helpless until we can
turn them Of in the regular way.
