tons, to determine him in favor of con-
demning those whom he believes limo
cent, or acquitting those he believes guilty,
he commits the crime of perjury, and we
can not tell how to proven the crime,
though it should be punished in this case
as in others.
The jury in the state trials under tho
federal law. for alleged crimes committed
in Grant parish, has been duly selected
and impaneled, SO that no further objec-
tons to the verdict which they may give
can be made. except through the e1cep-
tons Of counsel.
We think the case will be left 10 the
court, counsel and jury. and that it will
not be complicated with outside and cur
rent politics. We say this because we
wish the prisoners a fair trial. We say it
because such complications will not aid
them either before OF after the verdict.

instigated the asssssinations resulting in

ers were committed to their political
opponents to be presented and pressed
upon the President. We do not PREJUDICE
these cases now pending, nor do we doubt
the jury will render just and not vindic-
tive verdict, but if by any accident it
should come TO pass that petition should
ever be circulated praying pardon or com.
mutation Of punishment it will come very
awkward upon those who contend that
Republican juryman can not do justice
to maintain that q Republican President
can show mercy. Better for all that
the law should take its course without I'M
necessary outside comment or complica-
ton.

without costing more than was paid to
erect. Originally built for reser-
voir it has laid idle and useless for many
years. bringing no revenue to the city.
but rusting into decay, unattended to and
uncared for.
At the last meeting of the Council, how
ever, proposition was submitted looking
to the utilizing of the building and the
creating therefrom Of revenue for the
city. Messrs. John Henderson and Pat
rick Irwin offer to rent the building for
the period of twenty years, for use as
public market. They offer to pay the city
for its use the sum Of $4,000 per year for
the first five years; $4,000 for the second;
$4,000 for the third, and $4,000 for the
fourth-amounting to an aggregate Of
$72, 800 rent for the twenty years. The
parties only ask that water and gas be
introduced, as in other public markets.
while they will put in repairs equal to
$4,000 forthwith, keeping the building in
good condition. and at the end Of twenty
years turn it over to the city in good Or
der. They only ask that. in case their
proposition be accepted by the city. they
be allowed ninety days from date of
signing the contract before the rent shall
commence, in order to put the building in
condition for use.
We hope the City Council will give this
matter their attention. If the iron build
ing can be made useful as we'll as orna-
mental, and furnish revenue to our inn
poyerished city treasury, we see no reason
why it should not be done. To establish
public market at the head of Canal
street would certainly be an excellent idea,
and we are confident the steamboat in
terest would be promoted thereby.
The States Of the South which have fallen
into the hands of the Conservatives have
in every case refused to repudiate their
bonded debt, and the bonds OF those States
stand the highest in the market.-Picayua,c.
As Louisiana is the only Southern State
that has even made a pretense Of paying
interest on its bonded debt for the past
three or four years, we are a little curious
to know something about those States
which refuse to repudiate and neglect to
pay interest at the same time. Such q
financial policy reminds one Of the man
who assured his friend that he would owe
him debt for borrowed money all his
life before he would cheat hin, out Of it.
Virginia has scaled the interest on the
State debt to three per cent. and now does
not pay that promptly. Alabama. Geor-
gia and South Carolina have ceased to
think anything about their interest.
Their bonds are worth trife more than
white paper. Arkansas and Texas have
not yet fallen into the hands Of the Con.
servatives. but they do not owe much.
Mississippi owes nothing. thanks TO the
bad name she enjoys. Florida is bank
rupt, but Republicans are to blame for
that.
We are on wild hun: after thu. South.
ern State which has fallen into the hands
of the Conservatives and acquired pecu-
liar financial credit as . consequence.
Please enlighten us friend Pic.

Frauds of the Havana Lottery.
HAVANA. February u. 1874.


Though many DAYS have passed on the wings OF
in the sparkling columns of your paper. assure
yeu have often desired that circumstances here
were such to enable me to dip my pen in the
brilliant colors of the rainbow to portray a happy
might be agreeable to your readers and the friends
of Cuba at home and abroad. But the case is quite
different. Tne Gem of the Antilles is irretrieya-
bly, lost to Spain. Distrust and poverty prevail
here; the government is bankrupt. and rHin is
staring the Inhabitants of the cxtaithful island in
the face.
The Captain General, Senior jovelfar. is at pres.
ent, like Hamlet. "contending with a sea OF trOu.
bles." The officials under him are dishonest. and
only aspire to plunder private individuals and
even the treasury. To give You an instance, will
state that Senior Valero the chief administrator of
of his predecessors has brought the lottery
into such disrepute that very few persons here
buy tickets W. Most of them are sold abroad.
where purchasers are ignorant o: the thefts prac'
ticed.
The administrator Of the lottery IS crimnaily
prosecuted, having for SOME time past kept some
of the numbers OUT Of the globe. then purchased
the tickets bearing those numbers and calling them
out as having drawn prizes. The buyers of tickets
have, of course been grossly swindled by this en-.
terprising officer. who, in short time, Is believed
to have made as much money as your astors and

button and biackmail them: another pet scheme
was the distribution of lottery tickets with come
mission of twenty five cents on each for himself.
He also kept all the unsod tickets in his desk. and
if any of them drew prizes, he presented them
through a third party, and got the money. In this
way the Havana Royal Lottery has been managed.
Some years ago two persons presented each the
same ticket, which had drawn the largest prize.
The lottery is now managed b Don RaIael de Ia
Tore, the Secretary of Senior Vaero; but the lati
tude given to the manager, and the plan of draw.
ing prizes, are such that it is almost impossible to
prevent frauds. fe25 2p 81

of listening to the report of Mr.. Pelham, of
Alabama. on the Martha Washington monu-
ment. This report is made by sub-commlt-
tee which recently visited Fredericksburg, Va
for the purpose Of making personal lnspec-
ton of the monument. They recommend the
adoption of the suggestions of Lieut. Marshall
which, to complete the work, involves an ex-
penditure of $4,000. The committee had
short discussion relative to which bill should
be given precedence iu the House, the chair
man, favoring making provision for the com
petion of the Washington Monument 1t is
probable that both bills will be reported at the
same time, and the order of their consideration
left with the House.

The Emperor of Braziiopened the Chambers
on the 5th inst with speech from the throne.
He said he had hopes of conclusion of de-
finite treaty of peace between Paraguay and
the Argentine States, which would put an end
to the present complications Abiding to the
religious troubles, he declared that the punish
ment of the Bishops of Oinda and Para was
necessary because they had trangressed the
laws and constitution of the Empire. The Gov
ernmept by the exercise of moderation, and
with the support of the Chambers would, he
believed, be able to terminate the conflict be-
tween the Church aud State.
