THE END OF THE BEEOHER TRIAL,

After the names of the jury had been called,
Foreman CARPENTER, who looked sadly in
need OF shaving, arose and said:
| When this jury was en- pam eled regarded
its duty as both plain and square None of its
members looked like diuiders, and 1 antici-
pated no difficulty in moulding the opinion of
all, but this good acquiring failed, and we
found it impossible to frame a verdict For
whole week we have been bored, and have
now finally split, it being impossible for
some to floor the others. I should
have rejoiced had it been otherwise, and EN-.
braced the opportunity eagerly. Butt what
with Evarts's chopping logic on the one side
and Beech's cross cuts on the other; and your
honor's charge, SO silver tongued, and qroored
SO artfully between plaintiff and defendant
had our verdict been then incu-
bated, we should have failed subsequently
to hatch Il. We now ace you to discharge
US. There is not the slightest use
of mailing us longer to the task. We might
hammer away at it for year with no better
result. At the same time we thank ue,o for
the good ad-vice given us as well as the good
board provided, at which we do not re-pine.
We thank the Bench for its kindness, and
wish to retire from the jury boz and
the case to which we have been so |
long glued, with the hope that we may all |
meet here-rqfter in the general raising at
the resurrection. We have done our level best,
as you yourself sa,o-our aohole duty. We
have al med not to chisel Mr.. Beecher out
Of his rights, nor to gouge Mr. Tilton out of
his We could do no more, and have said:
JUDGE NELSON (rather bitterly, and with a
rasping voice)-The jury will now file out
Clear the stairway.
Foreman Carpenter (returning)-Did any
body see anything of my scre,o driver?

THE OORNERED COUNCIL.

The embarrassment Of the Mayor and AID.
| ministrators is one from which there is nc
issue. Their functions are limited by law,
and beyond those limits they are as com.
pletely powerless as the obscurest citizens
They are obliged at a certain time each year
to assess tax on city property sufficient to
pay the: interest on the city debt and, at the
same time, to assess another tax sufficient to
meet the current expenses of the city. Both
taxes must b. assessed and collected together
Failure to assess the interest tax nullifes all
other taxes and ipso facto vacates the offices
of the Mayor and Administrators Under
existing laws there can be no species of tax
levied by the Council for city purposes which
is not accompanied by tax to pay the inter-
est on the city's bonded debt.
In like manner, after the joint tax for inter-
est and expenses has been collected, there is
no legal power vested in the Mayor and Coun-
Gil to divert any part of the proceeds Of the
interest tax from its prescribed and lawful
use The instant that it is paid into the hands
of the Administrator of Finance or into the
money belongs to the holders of the
city's bonds. To take this interest money
for current expenses would directly and pal
pably contravene and violate the laws of
the State, both in their spirit and in their
plain declarations. The Council can not
disobey the law in this case with any more
propriety than they could transgress all the
laws OF the State, the criminal code scarcely
excepted. The city charter prescribes the
duties of the Mayor and Administrators. 1t
is charter not in accordance with the will of
the people and imposed upon them by force,
but it is the law, and as such must be obeyed
until changed.
The Council will find an implicit obedience
to the charter and other laws of the State
the city to be at once the easiest
to the sslves and the most satisfactory to the
people. Our citizens would submit to much
inconvenience rather than see the Council
apply for their benefit the money assessed and
collected for the creditors of the city. They
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-07-03

are not all very kindly disposed towards th
city government as is shown by the delir
quent tax lists, which number more tina
twenty-five thousand names, representing t.
debts due to the city aggregating about fou
millions. Yet we entertain SO good an opinion
of the prevailing sense of justice in New On
leans as to believe that the majority of thes
twenty-fiv thousand debtors would rather pa,
their taxes, than see the Council taking for cur
rent expenses money which belongs to the hold
ers of the city's bonds. In the beginning O
June there were seventeen thousand and fivt
hundred citizens, firms and corporations
owing the taxes of 1875, more than sufficient
in amount to pay all the current expenses o.
the city government and all the interest on
the bonded debt for the current year. Five
hundred and twenty-six of these debtors Qess
than one in thirty-four of the whole) owed
1851, 500 of the total of taxes unpaid of 1875.
or two-fifths of the whole amount due. There
were fourteen hundred and sixty-three in the
list of seventeen thousand five hundred whose
bills were more than $500 each.
Can it be possible that out of all these
wealthy debtors the Council can not obtain
money enough to pay the expenses which
they claim to have reduced to the lowest
practicable figures? Are they SO cofhered
and driven to the wall that they must either
leave the streets unswept and unlighted,
houses exposed to destruction by fire, chart
table institutions left destitute, the INDECENT
and infirm poor left unfed, the insane I'M
cared for, the sick stranger left to die upon
the streets. the courts of municipal justice
closed, the jails thrown open, and
many things in confusion, or else
seize and apply to these objects the
money which belongs to bondholders?
Can they see in the present condition of the
city or its near future, any sufficient cause to
invoke the old maxim, Salus popuH suprema
'er? Are the people in such danger that the
higher law Of self preservation is to be in.
voked7 Have salaries, their own included, been
reduced so low that they would cease to COM
mand competent service if further reduced? If |
he Administrators would abate something |
rom princely salaries which they draw with |
marked punctuality, would not the example be
cheering symptom of a disposition to meet the
ity's troubles generously? These are ques-
ions which the people will be asking, while
he Administrators, each with his June salary
# $500 in his pocket. meet in private confer
nee to discuss the Pilsbury resolution.

The first suspicious event for the success Of
mo Ohio Democrats is the announcement that
Senator Morton will take the stump there for
the Republicans. Mr.. Morton opened the
campaign for his party in Ohio two years
ago. and be left 1t SO wide open that Gov. Al
len easily swept the field The significance
Of this movement to put Morton on the
stump is that it shows very plainly the pre-
dominancs of the imitation sentiment in the
Republican party. Morton is the great father
Of all greenbacks. By all means bring out

Passing up Beaubien street yesterday, a
gentleman saw man sitting on the steps of a
dilapidated old house, and looking SO lonely
and friendless that he halted and asked:
anybody dead in the house?"
"Next thing to it, sighed the man. as he
scratched his knees through hole in his
srowsers; the old woman's got an idea that
she wants twenty-one yards in a calico dress !"

The regatta of the St. John Rowing Club,

NO doubt that the efforts of the club will be
crowned with the full success striven for.

the shell race.
