THE KERRIGAN CASE.
Still Further Proceedings.

The plea to the jurisdiction of the Superior
Criminal Court, in the case of the State vs..
John Kerrigan, which was argued on Friday,
was passed upon Saturday morning by Judge
Howe, sitting in the place of Judge Steele.
The grounds urged by counsel for Kerrigan
we're that the alleged offsnse was committed
in the parish Of st. James, and that under
the law the accused should be tried in the
parish in which the offense was committed.
The court decided that an offense could be
begun in one parish and eliminated in an
other; and that the parish in which it culmi-
mated was the parish in which it was commit
ted. In the case at bar the question was,
where had the offense been committed? The
information alleged the parish Of Orleans.
There was no evidence to contradict this in
formation; indeed, it was the only evidence
before the court, and must be received.
The plea was overruled.
Our reporter saw Mr.. Kerrigan after he
had left the court. He said that he was will
ing to settle his accounts at any time, pro-
vided his commission was paid, and would
turn over his papers if his commission on the
assessment roll, amounting to something like
$780, was paid.
He said if he made settlement now, under
existing circumstances, he would have to turn
over his assessment rolls, and they would be
sequestered.
Thus the case stands. 1t is understood,
however, that settlement will be made early
in the coming week.

Business.

Sunday night, when young man drove out
Of Vlcksburg several miles to pass the evening
with the girl of his choice, he was met at the
gate by her father. who at once proceeded to
business by saying
"Cum to spark Louisa, eh 7"
The Young man let silence answer the ques-
ton.
Expect it'll make match ?" continued
the father.
Silence again, while the young man tied
the horse. AS he was ready to go IN, the
father blocked the way, braced up and con-
tinued:
"See here, young man, let's have an under
standing. If ye mean hitch tween now and
Jinuary, all right; but, if ye don't, want ye
to understand that candles is mighty high this
fall, and crops don't turn out wuth a cuss."
As the young man got through the gate, it
is probable that he gave the father direct and
an agreeable answer Vicksbovg Herald.

The Atlanta (Ga,) Herald saws:

"We Of the South have declared from the start
that. if left alone to ge the negro, we would
do him justice and keep down disorder. For a
decade of years, in spite of our remons RANGES,
the Administration has kept up its illegal and
damaging interference. But at last we have
been permitted to solve the problem in our own
way. and the result has been simply magical. In
Georgia the matter has been elucidated and the
settlement is so easy and effective that the North
has been crying herself hoarse with shouts OF
approval"
This is literally and emphatically true, and
there are cheerful indications that hereafter
whichever party is uppermost-the African
question will be left to the adjustment OF
those v no best understand it and are most in.

The New York Sun well says that in the
heat of the canvass which has justed ended
in Ohio and is now pending in Pennsylvania,
the true issue before the country has been
lost sight Of and the question with which the
States in State elections have no particular
interest has been lugged in and made the
main one. The true question at issue is the
arraignment OF the present Administration
for unexampled profigacy in every depart
ment of public affairs !; for the exercise OF
despotlc DO wers over the Southern States for
the extraordinary public frauds and crimes in
the District of Columbil for the foolish and
demagogic treatment of the currency question
by the last Congress +; for the attempt to foist
Gen. Grant upon the country for third
term for the scandalous prostitution OF the
appointing power, and for the defense and
support of the most stconspicuous public knaves
by the President himself

In the late fearful storms in France 596
sheen were killed at Belle Coste by one flash
of lightning They belonged to flock of
1900 head, the property Of a farmer. His
loss amounts to $4,000 francs. About 1000

lust arriving with the shepherds lunch, and
thew set to work, with great presence Of mind,
to disepgage the heap of carcasses. Many
others must have died from suffocation but
for this help. Some of the incidents noted
are curious. The shepherd had his sabot
broken. while one OF his CATERS was struck
off and has not been found. The man is un-
hurt but much shaken. His deg was lying

Weighing the Mails.

Two pairs of tine finest scales ever built
have recently been placed in the new post
Office at New York, says the World. To
weigh the enormous bulk of mail matter
daily brought in carloads to the Office,
and to weigh it with the accuracy demand
ed by the department, something more
than the ordinary appliances was required,
and to supply this want Fairbanks has man.
ufactured two gigantic yet delicate scales.
They differ in several particulars from the
regular Fairbanks standard scales used
generally one point of difference being a
double beam, which renders it easy to OBJ
tain the weight of the mail matter apart
from the trucks in which it is weighed, the
weight of the latter being registered on the
loYer beam. Although capable of weigh
ing ten tons, these scales are very sensi-
tive, registering with equal accuracy, a
pound or a ton. They are placed in the
northern side of the postoffice, and are
daily used In the weighing of 80 or 100
tons of mail matter.

Mr.. Colfax at Springfield.

Hon. Schuyler Colfax, in his lecture at
Springfield, Mass, met a notably cordial
welcome. He had substantial respon-
sive audience, noticed for its diversified re-
spectacle character. AT the close MANY
people pressed forward to greet him.
After the lecture the Odd Fellows of
Springfield gave Mr.. Collax reception at
their hall, which was an enthusiastic COM
plimeDt to their distinguished brother, and
the rooms were completely filled by the
members of the order and their invited
friends. After being generally introduced
to the audience. Mr.. Colfax spoke at
length upon the general principles and du-
ties of the order, Its growth and advan-
tages, enivening his remarks by pleasant
anecdote and Incl dent; applause and good
feeling were abundant, and personal intro
duction ard conversation followed for an
hour. The gathering was further honored
by the presence of Past Grand Master John
w. Smith and Past Grand Representative
Connolly of Connecticut.

Unf0unded Rumor.

A rumor has been in circulation for some
time that the officers of the Barre bank
were arranging for settlement of the case
of Miles, (White) the robber, the alleged
sum to be paid them being set at four thou
sand dollars, We are authorized upon the
highest authority to state that the rumor
is utterly unfoundcd, no such proposition
having ever been made to the bank. Nor
would any such proposition be entertained
by them for an instant. The pursuit aud
arrest of these burglars was terribly earn
est one, and 1t seems now as If nothing but
death could save Miles from the severest
penalty known to the law. If those pa
pers which have given currency to this ru-
NOR, and have preached highly moral SER
mons upon the course of the bank officers,
will kindly do them justice BY denying the
statement, they will do exactly what they
ought to do.--Aontpslier Journal.

CHEROKEE CIVILIZATION.

The work of civilzing and outstanding
the Indians may be now deemed complete
success, and the Cherokees as the most
civilized tribe of Indians the world has ever
known. We doubt whether the whites can
now compete with them, especially since
they have emulated and combined all the
beauties of New York city, Louisiana and
Washington politics. Some time ago they
showed themselves proficient in election
rows and fraudulent voting, and, on a
pinch, could draw a revolver and coolly
shoot down an obnoxious political oppon-
ent or dusky voter who didn't propose to
vote exactly as they desired. Now they
have got some contested election cases on
hand, and, remembering how nicely de
Trobrland took possession of the Louisiana
legislature, counted in the right sort of
members, and "organlzed" it, and then pre-
served order there, some twenty-five or
thirty men, armed with shot guns, daily
take their seats in the Cherokee national
council to preserve order and to see that
the contested election cases are decided in
accordance with their ideas of right. And
then they have five hundred more armed
men parading the town ready to ''pitch IN"
at moments notice.
These Cherokees are apt scholars. They
saw their "great father" organizing legis-
latures and controlling elections by the use
of bayonets, and they go him zone better"
by doing the same thing with shot guns.
Their advantages are as superior to the
whites as shot guns are to bayonets They
have the example of the whites and pay
more for educational facilities, and why
should they not excellP 1t is little
strange that in this whole country Wash
ington should only be exceled by the
Cherokees in the matter of education, and
we presume that 1t is this higher priced
education that gives the Indian the advant-
age. The Cherokees pay two hundred and
twenty-five dollars month for male
teachers and twenty-five dollars less for
females. while Washington only pays one
hundred and thirteen for males and thirty
eight dollars less for females, but Wash
ington pays twenty-sx dollars year for
educating each of her children and the
Cherokees only twenty-four dollars
which proves that the Cherokees are the
brightest scholars. Washington having
Shepherd, Murtagh and Babcock, and
having but just parted with Delano, to
show for her money, and all as the result
OF paying teachers only one hundred and
thirteen and sevenly-fve dollars a month,
we ought not to be surprised that the Chero-
KEGS, with their two hundred and twenty
five and two hundred dollars teachers, are

YERGRNNRs

The telegraph Office was the scene of a
nice little fracas on Monday afternoon be-
tween q shoemaker, whose first name is
Jack, and young man who is employed as
weigher at Hickok's coal yard. OF course
the usual epithets were used to induce the
row. The result was not satisfactory to
Mr.. Jack. Although his antagonist was
much smaller he made Jack yell for help.
The court, held Tuesday, failed to convict,
as the testimony for the prosecution
showed that Jack was clearly to blame.

The khedive of Egypt has asked of the

absurd that the khedive should overlook
such eminent American financiers as Will

William D. Kelly representing one school,
or "Boss' Tweed, Shepherd and South

it prejudice or ignorance that led the khe-

The president tells the country by his
action in the cases of ex-senator Pease and
other Mississippi postmasters, that they
must support and vote for the straight
ticket, whether the nominees are honest or
dishonest, or off 60 their official heads.
Massachusetts republicans say that it is the
duty of honest men to ''bolt" and defeat
dishonest men nominated for office and
Postmaster General Jewell says that he
prefers good democrat to a bad republi-
can for a postmaster. Which is the better
republican principle?
