QUITE BEAR SToRY.-On Monday,
9th ult., John Barney Wright discov-
cred in one of his traps, near Haskin's
mill in Stamford, fine fat bear weigh
ing 237 pounds. The trap was reset,
and upon visiting the same on Sunday
morning he found it missing, and follow
ing up the trail some half mile, came
upon the largest and ugliest customer he
had ever encountered. The chain of
the trap, to which large clog was at
tached, had caught around a small tree,
and when John made his appearance
the monster commenced terrific strug-
gle for his life. Freeing himself be
faced his foe, and for the first time in
his life John beat hasty retreat, turn
ing as he ran and firing at the enraged
animal with revolver, five barrels of
which he emptied without effect. Hav-
ing but one charge left, and hardly dar.
ing to risk that while lodging among
the trees, Wright began to think serious.

him the brute halted moment, and the
sixth and last bullet was sent crashing
through his brain. His weight was
three hundred and ninety We pounds!

One Thousand Dollars Reward.

In this mornings REPUBLICAN will be
found the proclamation Of Governor Kel-
logg, Offering $1,000 reward for the appre-
hension Of the persons who, in 'he most
cowsrdly and fendish manner, recently
murdered Manuel Nunez in the presence Of
his wife, and robbed her of $3.50 and gun.
This murder in cold blood and robbery was
committed near Shreveport, by body of
men designated by the Shreveport Times
as members of the White League organiza-
tion of Caddo parish. They visited the
residence Of the murdered man, and with
out authority Of law claimed the right to
search his house, accusing him at the same
time of being engaged in furnishing arms
to the negroes. This he denied, and made
no resistance to their search. But finding
no arms, save the gun they carried away
with them, the assassins drew their re-
volvers and deliberately killed Nunez, and
then robbed the heart broken widow and
her fatherless children. It is to be hoped
the good citizens Of Caddo parish
will make an effort to have the perpetrators
of this horrid crime arrested and made to
answer for this diabolical deed. The Gov
ernor has done his duty, and if they do
theirs it is possible that the rufians en-.
gagged in the murder of Nunez may be
brought to speedy justice. In that event
there would be some hope that reaction
might take place in and around Shreveport,
that would afford better guarantee for the
safety Of life and property there than has
been experienced for many years past. But,
unless the law can be made effective for the
arrest and punishment Of men who make
political discomfort a reason for committing
the most hejnous otfenses. it will become
necessary to send the State militia there TO
suppress crime; and, perhaps, the sooner
this is done the better for all concerned.

officers other than those mentioned in this
title, except such as may te necessary in
towns and cities, aud the judicial powers
of such officers shall not extend further
than the coenizanC OF cases arising under
the poHce regulations of towns and cities in
the State"
This ar.icle undoubtedly reserved to the
Legislature power to confer judicial powers,
but they mrst not extend them beyond
judicial powers '''n cases arising under the
police regulations of towns and cities" By
act No. 9 the Legislature has exerted the
power reserved and limited that legislation
to q single city, namely, New Orleans. and
has conferred Judicial powars on persons
not mentioned in title ninety-four OF the
constitution. Police judges are not men
toned in that title and consequently can
only exercise such judicial powers as are
conferred, and then only in ca 3es Of police
regulations.
Act No. 9, prohibiting the sale Of lottery
ticke" without license of the company au-
tholized by law, inhlcts penalty of $25,
aud, in default of payment, imprisonment
for five days. How tar the Legislature may
go in regulating the police Of the city Of
New Orleans has not, to my knowledge,
been passed upon; but that police regula-
tions are constantly made for the purpose
Of police in towns and cities Las not
been denied, and the constitution ar-
thorizes the grant of judicial powers
in cases ''arising under police reg
ulations" There appears to be no
doubt of the constitutional power to ex-
tend judicial powers for police purposes.
and this suggests the inquiry as to whether
or not act No. is a police regulation. By
act No. they have exerted that power,
and when tested by the principles and ad-
Indications upon the constitutional law
am not prepared to say that in the passing
of act No. 9the Legislature has transcribed
the powers reserved in article ninety -four
of the constitution, and therefore the sew
eral wri,s must be dismissed and the pris-
Oners remanded.
