WHAT Has BECOME OF THE CASE y-Wnl
District Attorney McPhelin be so good as to
stir up the case wherein four or five poor
laborers were defrauded out of 81 each.
and sent fifty miles into the country on q
fools errand! DIT the accused person is
guilty, let him have a speedy trial and
prompt punishment. The accusers are still
here, but are liable any day to depart. 1he
case, as the strangers make 1T out, Is ono
which calls for quick action, and as sew
eral good citizens have called our attention
20 the fact that the papers are getting dusty,
ne ia expected that the District Attorney
will do his best in the premises.

which make one long tor the old time when
criminals were hung, then drawn. and
finally 1uartered. the several parts OF bis
miserable body being exposed, ia different
sections, as a warning to evil doors. How'
ever, the next best torture remaIns-Ouf
Penitentiary. Robert Ganagan, twenty
nine years old, foreign born, OF medium
size, and of sane mind, actually and ma
liciously stole one entire loaf of bread, for
no better object than to satisfy his unnat-
nral appetite. The complainant is -.
Fisher, and the terrible criminal was ar
rested at the corner OF Magazine and
Natchez streets, last evening. Now. II
Ganagan should not get life term IN
prison. at hard labor, with no bread, then
shere is no Justice in Louisiana. and we
ehall certainly call for a new election. Our
Attorney General district attorney, the
Criminal Court, and all the jurymen, must
halt in their pursuit of murderers and such
small fry, and concentrate all their out
ragged feelings on the poor man who stole q
Loaf of bread to fill his empty stomach.

ing griddle was picked up, red hot, on St.
Charles street last Sunday, when disa-
yreeable north wind was flirting things
around loosely. Evidently there is some
meaning in it, and as there is some distant
allusi0n to one of us. we can not refrain
from publishing it:
The main feature of this Invention is 70
prevent the igniting and explosion OF
spirituOus liquors, and is now IN full opera
ton on st. Charles street, not over lO,0OO
miles from Commercial alley. This machine
;by circumstances seemingly beyond Its
controD is in the habit of grinding cut
poetry. and the following is given a. one OF
its illusions:
The REPUBLICAN, reporter is seeking for fame,
He knows of a victim bat can't tell his name
Who a deputy constable doubled and twisted
And sold his old clothes, right in his own district
This hard hearted man, this limb of the law,
Should be held up to censure; he took all he saw,
At least SO it's said, and this plainl shows
Where newspaper men get all their good clothes.
