The kerrigan case came up again before
the Superior Criminal Court yesterday, and
the defendant refused to plead on the old
ground of the allegation of crime being
committed in the parish of st. James, and
therefore pleaded to the jurisdiction. 1t is
little singular that the numerous counsel
OF the defendant have not yet made the dis
covery that the law of Louisiana provides
in explicit terms for such emergencies, and
that they should persist in this line till the
direct question is raised. Now that it ia
directly before the court Judge Howe will
enlghten them.
In connection with this case repeated
attacks have been made on Assistant Attor-
ney General Dibble by way of innuendo,
and it has been broadly asserted in morn
ing paper, as coming from the prisoner, that
the case could have been compromised
by the payment of $1,000, when by
consultation OF the court record
it is seen that General Dibble has
persistently endeavored to obtain the prop
erty of the State from the tax collector, the
object OF the attacks in plain. But the
facts do not sustain even the innuendo of the
prisoner. He was advised by General Dib-
BILE to settle with the Auditor and produce
his delinquent list, and be refused. That
was all the advice given to him, but on his
refusal, without waiting for the conclusion
of the First Municipal Police Court, Cen
eral Dibble directed District Attorney No

New York city is pre.eminent in COM
merce and trade, magnificent in build
ings, institutions, enterprises and public
spirit. BUT Boston itself is not more
provincial and oyer-weening in it's con-
oeit in setting up to be the hub of the
universe, than those in the Empire City
and neighborhood, who assume to speak
its voice upon some current events and
give its opinion upon some notorious
characters of the day. The Tribune has
pronounced Beecher the greatest preacher
since Christ, and has represented that q
vast overwhelming calamity would over
take Christianity if he fell. And here
comes the Philadelphia Times with n
similar fulsome tribute, saying that he
has been for many years 'the foremost
pulpit orator of the world" He is of
course, man of genius and power,
skilled in dialectics, and with dash and
vim about him that are captivating
But his productions have not the
stamp of immortality upon them.
There is thread of vanity, enor-
nous conceit and familiarity even to-
wards the Creator, whom he regards as
only next above himself, which taints
ana disfgures everything that he puts
forth. We do not speak Of his morals.
and make no nllusion to the great scan
dal IN whose meshes he has been canght.
But we protest against the exaggeration
OF his greatness, and that narrowness of
opinion which exalts him 80 immensely
above other men. It is, only the spa
roxysmart opinion of those who revolve
about him. He will be more distin-
guished in history as tho centro of the
greatest scandal Of the age, than for the
genius, the deep philosophy, broad learn
1ng' divine humility and god-like hu-
manity, which his admirers claim for
him. .1.d ..laT ,iGpfC i.,.','' -,

WHOLESOME STIMULANT, THAT Is AB-
soLUTELY PURE. Physicians throughout
the world agree rs to the necessity for
diHusive stimulants in medical practice.
but complain, and with good reason, Of
the impossibility Of obtaining them pure
The difficulty here presented would be n
serious one indeed, if the clrss of agents
was limited to the adulterated liquors
and wines of trade. 1t vanishes, how
ever, when the absolute purity and ex-
traordinary restorative properties of
Hostetter's Bitters are taken into con-
sideration. AS stimulant the article is
absolutely free from everything obiec-
tionable; but this Is only one Of its re-
Communications. If it \were nothing
more than an excitant its effects would
be feeting. 1t might refresh and revive
the system for few minutes, but could
stimulating elementa-of the Bitters ia a
means, not an end. The tonic, anti
bilious, depurative and aperient vegeta-
BILE juices combined in tho preparation
are the agents that impaft vigor and
regularity to the weakened and disor-'
dered organization, the spirituous prinoi-
pie being chiefly useful in diffdsine their
influence through the system and other
wise facilitating their operation. Alco-
hol, even in its ,purest form, is not 80
much medicine as q motive power, by
which the specifics of the vegetable
kingdom may be brought to bear upon
the debilitatod and disordered organs
that require renovating and regulating;
and it is in this way that the pure es-
sence of rye incorporated in Hostetter's
Bitters increases the efficiency of the
purely medical ingredients. M2St3ql
