KNIGHTS OF INNIsFAIL.-The Knights
of IDnisfail will give their second annual
picnic at James Park tomorrow, the
I'd Of June. AS the Knights of Innisfail
claim to be the Oldest order OF chivalry
in existence, it is reasonable to suppose
that they will make this occasion one Of
the most agreeable and delightful
ever given at James Park. They are
making extensive preparations, and
have secured the best music in the city.
Nothing will be left undone that could
contribute in any way to the enjoyment
of visitors, and we can predict therefore
a very large attendance. ~ t
The ITALIAN Picnic. Rain compell-
ing the postponement Of the picnic on
the day first set by the Italian Society, il
will be givea at James Park on Monday
next, June 7th, when the original pro-
gramme will be carried out. The com
mittees are determined that this shall be
the picnic Of the season.

The unlimited confidence and liberal
patronage bestowed on the Texas Real
Estate and Gold Distribution, Of which
| am the Manager, is a subject o general
remark. The p~ost-ofice records Of this
city show that we have received twenty
FIVE times as many P. 0. orders, and
registered letters with money than a
similar enterprise of this city Of larger
pretensions. The Management take
great pleasure in acknowledging their
gratitude to the public, with the assur-
ance that the Drawing will positively
take place on the Both day OF June, 1875.
Our October Drawing took place with
but n postponement, aud so would
this, but for circumstances (see adver-
tisements and ci~rculars) utterly un-
avoidable. Our success is such that we
can safely promise to refund every cent
of money and present erery Ticket
holder Dith a Teras Farm ii the Draw
ing does not take place on the Both Of
June, 1875. We also offer a plan (see
adyertisement) whereby those buying
tickets can keep their money in a home
bank till the Drawing takes place.

Last evening Mr.. Marx Halle, after
escorting a lady to her home in the
suburbs, was returning to the center Of
the city by way Of High street, when ae
was attacked by robbers and compelled
to stand and deliver one set Of diamond
studs, a gold watch and chain and a
pocketbook containing fifty dollars.
After committing the robbery the plum.
derers permitted Mr.. Halle to pass on
homeward a wiser but a sadder man.
The robbers made their escape, and have
SO far avoided arrest. This and other
recent incidents suggest the propriety Of
gentlemen being armed when making
suburban trips at night.
Since the above was written Mr..
Halle called at the LEDGER Office and
stated hat the robbers did not take his
property, but attempted to throw him
into a ditch, where two Others were con.
cealed, but that he escaped and ran of
amid a shower Of brickbats.
We have still to, make another corree
ton Of the item. 1t is now stated an.
thoritatively that it was a practical joke
put up on Mr.. Halle by a few friends,
who waylaid him for that purpose.
The above paragraphs show the diff,
Guilty in hunting down an item Of news,
and the trouble which envelopes a re.
porter Os he progresses from effect bach
to cause or what is known as the
Baconian or inductiye process Of inyes
tigatiOn; but then the other process O
Investigation, the deductive or Aristo,
telian system Of from cause to effect
furnishes no better or easier method Of
getting at facts.

A wealthy English widos, Of the FIRST
Georges times, never allowed her room
TO be cleansed, and the windows we're so
encrusted with dirt as 70 admit scarcely
any light. She reasoned thus when
asked for an explsnatiCn-if the room
was wetted she might catch cold; il the
windows we're cleaned, glass might be
broken, and somebody hurt. She never
washed herself for fear of cold; as a
substitute she anointed her face and
neck with a little milk aud hogs lard,
finished of with a toucl If rose pink on
the cheeks. She was n aihodical 10 al
her habits, eating with one favorite
knife, fork and plate, and drinking out
Of n cup. She abhorrsd physic and
doctors, and cut two new teeth at the
age Of eighty.seyeA. She had no neal
relations, and refused to see those more
distantly related. One pleasant charac-
t%erislic is recorded; she had a large, we'll
kept garden. in which she passed most Of
her time reading. Although she lived
entirely through the reign Of the first
and second Georges, aud so far intothat
Of Che third, she continued to wear
fashions Of the time Of George the First,
being those Of her married life. Not
outstanding this, she was everywhere
treated with respect. Perhaps her gold
had something to do with that, however.
Her household consisted of one servant
ian old man two lap-dogs and a cat;
aud these we're her only companions.
She survived until extreme old age.

The Mountain Meadow Massacre.

The trial of Lee, for participation in the
Mountain Meadow massacre, bids fair to be-
come parody on justice. BY the tele-
graph we learn that jury has been chosen
to try the accused, and that eight Of the men
who are to be asked to convict him are
drawn from q class of the community not
likely to be over Jealous in seeking the
ends of justice. This by itself would be
sufficient to create want of confidence in
the jury which Is to try Lee; but when we
learn that near relatives OF prominent ac-
tors in the massacre have also found place
on the jury the pretended trial assumes
the character of farce. The eight Mormons,
including the relatives of some of the men
who assassinated the emigrants, swore that
they had never heard the massacre talked
about and had no opinion respecting it. What
the value of this testimony is remains to be
seen; but the sight of near relatives of the
men who participated in the massacre of the
emigrants sitting in judgment on one of the
suspected assassins is not likely to create
much confidence in the just administration Of
the law. 1t is incidents of this kind that
cause men to inquire whether trial by jury be
not, after all, a mistake. In the present case
we think that if o jury capable of COM
handing the confidence Of the pub
lie of the United States could not
have been found it would have been better
not to have moved in the matter at all.
Should the accused man succeed in getting
acquitted by partisan jury he will be secure
from any further pursuit of the law. Very
little doubt exists as to Lees guilt, but it re-
mains to be seen whether his comrades
relatives will be willing TO pronounce him
guilty on the evidence. The precedent es-
tablished by their presence on the jury is not
pleasant to contemplate, for if every muir
derer is to be tried by the friends of his
''pals' society viii soon be obliged to aban-
don all reliance on law procedure and return
to the ruder but more effective modes of adj
ministering justice.

hope they will see their way to accepting

North Carolina and the Parties in
the South.

We print to-day the first of Mr.. Nordhoff's
letters from North Carolina, in which he de-
scribes the political and industrial situation
in that State, and says that North Carolina is
at peace, and that no respectable person
within the State pretends it is not. The bit
terness of party feeling appears to have
greatly died out; and WHILE as our CORE
spondent reports, the agitation of the Civil
Rights bill has, by arousing prejudices,
strengthened the political color line and very
nearly broken up the republican party in the
State, it is evident that North Carolina society
is no longer to any serious extent agitated by
the hatreds which grew out of and remained
after the war, and which still burn in some of
the Southern States.
The State appears to be pretty evenly di-
vided politically, and each party hopes to
carry it in the August election, when dele
gates to constitutional convention are Il" be
chosen. Mr.. Nordhoff remarks that the
democrats appear to have blundered in call
ing this convention, because they will be re-
sponsible for its acts, and the people of the
State like the present constitution, which
needs amendment only in one or two particu-
lars. On the other hand, it appears that the
republican party is so far disorganized in the
State that if it is beaten this year it is likely
to 90 to pieces; and then, our correspondent
believes, new party will arise in its place,
which will contain more of the brains and
wealth Of the State and which will rule, but
not by O political division founded on the
color line.
1t is curious to read that one of the leading
colored politicians of the State told Mr. Nord-
hoff that be and others of his c.ass were OPP
posed to the Civil Rights bill, regarding it as
hurtful to the negroes and to the republican
party. When asked why, in that case, they did
not openly oppose it this colored man replied
that he did not dare to, that he would have
been turned out of the party as a bolter
That is to say, some of the leaders of the col
ored vote know how to intimidate and ostra-
CHE as well as anybody else.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-07-24

ships which do him little credit, and he often
persists in keeping in Office the men who are
least credItable to his administration. In the
present instance he may persist in retaining
Deano at the head of the Interior Depart
ment, Notwithstanding the opposition of his
Cabinet and in defiance of the general senti-
ment OF the country. In such contingency
only one OF two courses is open to the party
an undisguised rupture with the President or
aspires to become General Grants successor,
can better afford to break with his chief than
to court disaster for his party. Mr.. Jewell
IS too astute a politician not to view the
subject in the same light. These gentlemen
have been thwarted in their efforts at
reform by the class of men to which
Mr.. Deano belongs. They bring discredit to
the administration and disaster to the party,
and unless these Cabinet officers rebuke their
corruptions they will be compelled to share
the responsibility. Here is a complication
for which General Grant was scarcely pre-
pared when he called Bristow and Jewell
to his counsels. Practically they stand
between him and the party and be-
tween the party and defeat Though
seemingly in unison the Cabinet is really
divided in sympathy, and in the end it must
be divided in fact unless the President yields
to the political exigencies of the occasion.
However attached these gentlemen may be to
the President personally we cannot believe
that any one of them would allow his per-
sonal feelings to lead him into dishonor or
induce him to consent to the disruption of
the party. In them we see whatever hope
there is for the restoration of republican
ascendency, but unless they succeed in puri-
flying the Cabinet they cannot hope to re-es-
tablish the party.
