law, that In creating q new OHence, IL
was the Intention. to: repeal 1t 60 tanto in
regard to the new offense; and that,
without using a single restriction or
repeating cxpression2
Fourthly-Precedent is not wanting
to Justify the position that an informa-
ton will lie, although the word indict-
ment, only is used In the statute. We
know at least that Chief Justice Par
ions. in case of the Commonwealth VS..
the Inhabitants Of Marlborough, S
Mass, 256, has declared: 1T is q gen.
eral rule that all public misdemeanors,
which may be prosecuted by indictment,
NAV be prosecuted by information on
behalf Of the commonwealth, unless the
prosecution be restrained BY the statute TO
Indictment" OF course the reason OF
this ruling would also apply in any case
above misdemeanors, when the statutes
authorize their prosecution, as In this
State, by information.
Fifthly-The statute is only directory
as to the mode OF prosecution, because
there are no words used by the law
maker showing that the prosecution
must be by informations and not other
wise. ICooley's Con. Linn, TAI The
mode Of prosecution is not OF the
essence Of the thing required by the
| statute to be done. lSame, page 70.
The mode is immaterial either to the
State or to the defendant, or article 6 o.
the constitution would not have beer
enacted, nor the general law in section
977, Revised Statutes, passed.
But what strikes us in the decision as
very remarkable, is the entire absence
of authorities quoted or referred to by
the Judge in support of his strange
ruling. .
Did his Honor make no inquiry as tt
what had been decided on the question
with which he was dealing?
Could no authority or precedent 81
found bearing upon the matter at issue
favorable to his views?
If so, in an issue of such grave i'm
portance, and SO directly drawing upof
him the attention Of the public, ough'
not his authority to have been given?
Is it not to be supposed that IL an!
could be found he would not nave ad
duced them in his decision? And does
not the public have q right to presume
from such failure, that his opinion i
unsupported by authority and prece
dent, as they know it is unsustained b!
reason?
It seems to us that the Judge OF thu
Superior Criminal Court has most seri
ously erred in a plain matter, in his de
cision in this case. There cannot be {
difficulty in it, and we are convinced
that it will result in a complete defea
Of those ends of public justice" which
the Judge seems SO DESTROYS to preserve
and protect. It will lead, we fear, II
| the escape, and not the proper ant
prompt punishment, of many persons
on whose shoulders the hands OF justic'
should be inexorably laid.

The accomplished editor and pro-

r. G. Smith, Esq, gives notice in his
last issue Of his intention to retire from
journalistic life, and to return again to
the practice Of the profession Of the
law, which he pursued for twenty years
in Kentucky with very great success
He is a strong and effective writer, and
OF the truest stamp in politics. We

pecuniary fortunes by a change in his
vocation.

WARDENS OF THE PORT OF NEW
ORLEANS.

An important bill on this subject has
been presented in the House of Repre-
sentatives by Hon. Felix VOORHEES, OF
st. Martin. and it has. been referred
to the Judiciary Committee. Its main
features are, that it prescribes a quail
iication i'm order to be Warden
familiarity with sea service. 1t
also abolishes the fee OF three dol
lars imposed upon sea-going YES
sells, whose masters n owners
decline the services Of the Wardens, and
it contemplates the repeal Of sec. 1929 OIL
the Revised Statutes. The sec. 2217 is
also repealed, from the fact OF the act
providing for two Wardens, instead OF
one Master and three Wardens. The bill
provides for the keeping OF regular
Wardens' books, open at all times to
parties interested for their inspection.
This is one of the best provisions in the
bill. We trust that the Judiciary
Committee will, as speedily as
possible, report this bill, or one akin to
it in all essential points, and that the
Legislature will make it a law. 1t con
Germs not only many individuals EN-,
gagged in honest but arduOus and dan
gerous business, but it is of great i'm
portance to the commerce Of the city OF
New Orleans.
The draft of the bill is to be found
correctly published on another page OF
the DEMOCRAT. We understand that the
fee Of three dollars on each sea-going
vessel amounts to the sum of fourteen
or fifteen thousand dollars per year, an
unnecessary burden on our commerce.

ANOTHER CHANGE IN The
CABINET,

Post Master General Jewell was
officially beheaded yesterday by Presi-
dent Grant. Jewell says he is ignor-
ant of the crime which caused his dis
snissal, and speculation on the subject
j. general. 1t is surmised that the
President wanted to reconcile Morton,
who has been on the war path since
Grant expressed his preference for
Conkling rs his successor. The pub.
lie service is now, if possible. made
more subseryient to partisan ends than
ever before. Jewell is from Connect
cut. now hopelessly Democratic State,
and his successor is from Indiana,
where the whole power of the Admin
istration will be brought to bear to in
fiuence the October election. That
State is now made the great battle
ground. where millions of the people e
money will be spent, without. of course.
corrnpting anybody, TO insure the sue
cess of the Republican ticket.
What nonsense it is to expect Grant
ism to reform itself. The Cincinnati
platform declares for civil service re-
form as emphatically as that on which
Grant was elected four years ago
Hayes, in his letter of acceptance, con.
dennis the system. which gives the
the victors the spoils, and yet,
in the face of these assertions
aud declarations, Grant, who is the
personifcation of modern aud unprin-
cipted Repubicanism, removes an hon
est aud efficient cabinet officer for no
other reason than that the State from
which he halls is conceded to the Dem
ncrats, aud he hopes by appointing
his successor from Indiana to infiu-
ence the vote of that State, and recon-
cile Morton. This ia a practical exam
PIE of Republican reform. The leaders
expect to deceive the people by Gun
ningly devised phrases intended for
purposes of deception. Sixteen years
control of the Federal Administration
has lei them to believe that they have
perpetual lease of the White House,
and that fair promises, which are new.
er falfilled. repeated every four years.
is sufficient 70 satisfy the gullible pub
lie. This action of the President,
sanctioned by Morton. who combined
with the Camerons to defeat Blaine.
and nominate man whom they in
tend to use, ought to be sufficient to
satisfy every person net blinded by
partisan prejudice, that a change of
Administration is absolutely necessary.
and that man who ia identified with
reform should be placed at the head
of the Government.
