three conditions, viz working, stealing, or starv

constitute the offence Of simple larceny for the
purpose of being convicted of that offence, the
punishment being a pecuniary fine and cou

The trial Of John L. Keudrck, late a private

United States Circuit Court in Baltimore, yes

but guilty of manSaughter la the case of
Robert Il gers, prlvat IN the samc company,
who was Indicted au accessory to the murder
Of Moore, verdict of not guilty WAS entarcd,
the verdict in the case of X nurick having ne.
coSsitatcd that course. The Sun says: Mr.
Stirling, tnc district attorney, abandoned the
charge OF murder against X ndrck, and only
asked for his conviction OF maDslaughlcr. This
OF course involved the acquttal of r ogcrs, who
was indicted as accessory 10 murder, not as &C.
ccssory t. mansaughtcr Rogers wore his
uniform during the trial, and was att ndcd bv
his young wife, whose appearance excited the

verdict being rendered tic couple we're busy
shaking hands and thanking their counsel and
the juiymcu who surrounded them. During
the trial Rogers was offered as witness for

The court Instructed the jury on prayers, on
the law OF murder and self defense, and the

The ST. AsApu STREET DEPOT. 1t is ru-
morci that the Alexandria aud WASHINGTON
Railroad Company have determined not to

Keith dts living tI2 Injunction against the
City Council, but have concluded to comply
with the resolution Of that body requiring
them to remove The track on ST. Asaph street,
add that they will take up the entire branch
from the junction to the depot. The rum0r
has created much dissatisfaction among those
whose business engagements require their fire.
qucHt presence IN Washington IN account of
the convenience u travel afforded by the pres

the rumDr proving true it Is understood many
OF the travelling pubic will present petitions
to Councli asking that the assent Of that body
be grated to the railroad company to continue
tne road aud depot at its present location.
The property holders along the street where
the railroad passes will doubtless present coun-
ter petitions praying for the removal of the
track.

marauders on the one side, or the hlibus-
ters on the othera We can MOI admit II W
be possible. This mutual purpose as
sured, why can not these two governments
unite to preserve inviolate the rights of
property ON both sides of the common
boundaryi They may readily unite in >
special convention for military, co-opexa-
ton in this important object. We do not
suggest the location of the troops of one
country within the jurisdiction Of the
other. We do not need more troops than
we could send and station along the
boundary. We would not offend the
suscepibilities of our sister republic
by even intimating her inability to
enforce her own laws within her own
jurisdiction. The neutrality of the
boundary might be maintained below
the navigable section of the Rio Grande
by vessels of the United States which
can patrol such waters. Above the head
of navigation it should be arranged
that whenever the civil or military au-
thorities designated by either government
shall apply to such authori ties so desig-
mated by the other government for mill
tary force to aid in the arrest or preven-
ton of cattle theft within the boundary of
either government, it shall be made the
duty Of the government upon whose desig-
mated officials the requisition shall have
been made, to detail and dispatch such
force as may be deemed requisite for the
service specified. 1t should be further
provided in such convention that the
forces of either government cooperating
upon the call of the other, shall report to
and serve under the authority of the gov
eminent making the call.
History contains many examples in
which countries cooperate for the success
of common object. Our own constitu-
tion contains provision that whenever
State shall call upon the federal govern
ment for assistance to suppress domestic
violence, the troops so furnished shall be
for the time subject to the command of
the State making the requisition.
The two republics do not wish to 20 to
war. They do not fear each other, nor
do they distrust each other. II, then, they
shall cooperate in the maintenance of
common peace and common policy, the
border may be pacifed, the cattle thefts
suppressed, and the two great nations can
continue to cooperate in the dissemina-
ton of their principles along the whole
extent of the American continent,

and therefore, after their example, AN ffee
: % sske the law in my hands. IN ''sss'
We pray the reader to pause and pom
der on this reasoning. It is that if the
government be msladministered the citi-
zen is justified in burning mans house
over his head. We are surprised TO see
such doctrine printed in English. House
burning is felony at the common law. 1t
is felony by all the constitutions of Lou
isiana- How can it be, then, that because
the returns may give commission to the
wrong man, the citizen is released from
the obligations Of the moral law? II the
population has succeeded in securing q
sheriff, and now demands a judge and
police jury of its own choice, might not
they have postponed the execution Of
their suspicion until any alleged offender
could have been tried by their own tri-
bunals? 1t is poor excuse for violation
Of the moral and statute law, that the
election of Governor did not result as the
violators wished.
But the official journal has to its
American honor adopted the same reason
ing. It adds:
But stop, citizen, on the threshold of this
wrong you do. Stop, We say, and reflect
that though evil has been done by others
to you, it lie not Christian in you, it is not
just in you. and you have no right to do vio-
lent wrong to others.
10 render this usurpation of legal power
the more palpable and culpable, we find
in the same official journal certificate
signed by persons and firms
That Messrs. 7. d. Schloss g. Brothers,
whose warehouse was burned by incendis-
RES, were doing an honest, legitimate bust
ness, and the gentlemen who compose the
firm are of unimpeachable character.
The tempest inflated by the breath of
violent partisans, is abroad in the land.
1t can not be arrested until it has spent
its force upon the most precious interests
OF the land. Upon what and upon whom
will this destruction fall? Not upon
those called carpet-baggers. II they are
not misrepresented by their opponents
they do not lay out much money in prop
erty which they will not be permitted to
enjoy. The same act of violence which
drove away recent immigrant prevents
Others from coming. Capital will rot
seek land where insurance will not bro.
tect and where an unpo pular creditor
would bequeath his debt to be settled
wi tn his executor.
We do not doubt that armed and masked
men are valuable coadjutors to carry an
election, but afterward they are like
those sleuth hounds used in Cuba to
catch runaway negroes-they are very apt
to eat up the children of a neighbor in
the indolent intervals of the chase. The
proverb says its an i'll wind that blows
good to no one. We presume this wind of
violence, sowed by partisans, to be an ill
wind that swells into tempest, bringing
good to no one, but a tornado, monsoon,
sirocco, which blights, withes, and
sweeps to destruction every interest of
society.

JUDGE BRAUeHN's SENTENCES.

The information that the trials and
sentences in the Superior Criminal Court
during the time Judge Braughn presided
are null, should have been qualified. The
proceedings had subsequent to his ap-
poinment by Governor Kellogg are un-
questioned. This appointment was made
on the ninth of April, short time after
the death of Judge Atocha. The proceed
ings in the Superior Criminal Court which
occurred between the twentieth of Feb
ruary, when Judge Atocha retired, and
the ninth Of April, 1876, are alone subject
to suspicion of nullity. The cause of
illegality in most Of the cases rests on the
grand jury, which was appointed by Judge
Braughn on the fifth of April, four days
before be was commissioned BY Governor
Kellogg.
We think the Pete Philips case, which
has raised all the inquiry, went off on an
extremely nice technical point. 1t is
sufficient, however, if it be point at all,
In trial involving the life or liberty of a
person. Our criminal laws are, very
properly, Astrictly construed, and we hope
such will always be the practice. But as
substantial justice has no doubt been
done in all cases by Judge Braughn and
his juries, we conclude that new trials in
all cases will only result in, new convic-
tons. 1t viii then be for Judge Steele to
decide whether the conyicts who have
served some months in the Penitentiary,
are entitled to credit for such time of SER
vice, or whether they shall be sent for the
full term prescribed by law, without refer
ence to what their attorneys may set up as
previous illegal proceedings. 1t seems to
us that they are better of nearly through
their term than they would be II they put
themselves in peril Of fresh sentence.
