Court Items.

The private market men have found
Judge Lynch inexorable, and yesterday he
pressed them into very small corner. Mr..
Barthe stated that he was in the habit Of
late of supplying customers by carrying
meat, on their order, to their houses; that
he purchased his supplies at the Magazine
Market, and sometimes carried them to his
house before distributing them.
Judge Lynch told him that this was .
violation of the injunction; that he would
be in contempt Of it if he did his business
in cart or even in basket No one could
sell any meat except the public market
men.
In the Superior Csiminal Court yesterday
the assistant district attorney questioned q
witness for defense az to his residence. The
witness stated that he resided at the Com.
mercial Hotel, corner of New Levee and
Girod streets. "What kind of . place il
this!' queried the prosecuting officer. "a
fine place." was the answer; "msybe you
would like to have ons of it's cards" And
amongst loud smile of all present the wit
ness stepped down, handed the district at
torney business card Of the hotel, and
then coolly resumed his seat.

Repnblicnn Rcformers.

We are glad 10 notice that an attempt is
to be made 10 reform the Republican party
from the inside. A call has zen issued for
IA public meeting OF that sort TO be held in
this city early in May The invitation is
TO Republicans who desire to have good
government administered by decent men;
and those who do not belong to the party
organization are asked to come ms well rs
those who do. The call is signed by Presi-
dent WooIsEY. Gov. BULLOCK of Massa-
chusetts, CARL scHURz, WILLIAM CULLEN
BRYANT, and HORACE WHITE Of Chicago.
These are respectable and sincere men, and
we wish them the utmost success in their
laudable enterprise.
Let the Republican party be reformed,
If possible; let the Democratic party be
reformed likewise; let thieves, conspirn-
tors, aud fools-especially fools-be eX-
PEELED from power; aid let us once more
have an honest, economical administration
of the government upon genuine demo-
cratic republican principles.

A Gravestonc Contract Funeral.

There were twenty freight wagons in
The funeral procession of this gravestono
contract. The remains of the soldiers who
Tor years had been buried at Fort Craig in
New Mexico, were tied up in gunny sacks.
Each sack was labelled with a name The
transfers stood on the bags in heavy boots,
Into which their trousers were tucked.
AS they moved, the bones cracked aud
prunched under their heels. They flung off
the bags AZ If they were sacks of corn.

The mpatience of the commercial classes
at the delay of the Legislature to deal with
this subject Is made manifest by unmistak-
able signs. A report signed by Mr. w. H.
WEhh giving expression to the views of
our most eminent merchants cannot rea-
sonably be dlsrcgarded. This report, we
can tell the LEGISLATURE will be sustained

Senator Conkling as the New York
Candidate.

There is one argument in favor OF MI.
CoNKLNG's nomination which his sup
porters have not urged with adequate
zeal. 1t is just sixty years since the party
opposed TO the Democracy selected its
Presidential candidate from the state Of
New York. In 1916, the Federalsis ran
RuFrs KING, OF tins state, as sort Of
forlorn hope ngninst JAMES McNRoE, but
without the slightest expectation of elect
ing him. In the long period which has
since INTERVIEWED, and during which the
Federalists passed away and the Wing
party rose and after an illustrious career
disappeared, and the Republican party
was formed and finally came into power
and has ruled the country for sixteen
years, the Presidential candidate Of the
anti-Dcmocratio party has never been
citizen of New York And yet all
through this oventful epoch IN the history
OF the nation, New York has been in every
particular the foremost State in the Union,
and nj nearly every Presidential election
her vote has decided the contest.
In wow of these striking facts may not
the friends of Senator CoNKL1NG insist
that his nomination would be an act OF
simple justice to the Republicans of New
York; The opposition to the democracy
lor two generations past has selected its
candidates for President from Massachu-
sets, Kentucky, Ohio, Louisiana, New
Jersey California. and Illinois. and even
twice from Massachusetts, twice from
| Kentucky. and four times from Illinois
but not once from the State which IN
wealth, commerce, trade, and almost in
population, has been the equal Of all OF
them combined. And the nomination OF
this party for Vice President has only
been accorded to New York twice in these
sixty years.
A very vigorous effort was made to re-
pair It's wrong TO New York in 1850
Gov. SEWARD was pressed upon the Chi
cago Convention as the favorite of tn,
State in which he was born and in who's,
affairs he had taken so conspicuous /
part. But the appeal was in vain. Tit
Convention at Cincinnati will afford al
opportunity for rectifying this inequalit,
and recognizing the claims OF this grea
state.

The April number of the American
Catholic Quarterly Rerte,r has learned disqu-
sition upon modern miracles. 1t argues AGAINST
the miracle workers Of whose performances we
lately had accounts. and says that no miracle
for which the evidence Is not satisfactory can
be admitted" This Is unquestionably the cor
rect ground for ali parties 20 take. The evidence
must be satisfactory to those minds that are ac-
Gus omed to the examination OF evidence and
its validity. II must also be satisfactory to the
scientific mind, for the obvious reason that
miracles can be wrought only through the sus
pension Of the laws of nature. otherwise called

American Funerals.

A foreigner who CHANGED TO see Mr..
SERVANTS funeral on Thursday. writes TO
us not very grammatical, but very
pertinent letter on our manner of paying
the last Lonors TO the dead. He was
strongly impressed by the magnitude Of
the crowd assembled to witness the funeral
OF a mere merchant; but he seems to have
been disagreoably surprised at the style in
which the funeral ceremony Of man of
Mr.. STEWARDS wealth was conducted.
TO begin with, the service at the house
OF the deceased did not seem TO him i'm
pressive enough. Then the fact of the
body lying in state in the entrance hall of
the residence, instead OF IN the largest Of
the reception rooms, seemed very strange
10 the foreigner. II left upon him tho i'm
preston that the heirs of the deceased
were afraid OF having the carpet of the
reception room spoiled by the numerous
visitors who were anxious 20 bid farewell
to celebrated man, or curious TO have II
last glimpse ut his features. But what
shocked him most was the hearse. That 1t
was very pl in vehicle, with only two
horses may have been IN consequence of "A
desire Of the deceased; but, " he exclaims,
"could not something more decent hafy
been found for driving the hearse than the
two fellows who were sitting on the
box" Their attire seems 10 have been of
kind much better betting n prize fighter
on haTkeeper than Coachman driving
the coffin of II modern CRGsus. The friend
or assistant of the driver, sitting by h 5
side on the box, carried in his hand a par
eel wrapped IN n copy of the Herald, M
looking very much rs II it contained y
small stock of ham sandwiches with a
couple OF bottles of whiskey, to be con-
summed around the grave.
Tire custom of having two men on the
| drivers seat of n hearse has a practical
meaning. In case the driver should
be drunk, an assistant might prove very
acceptable There are also one or two
cases known in England OF divers having
suddenly died from apoplext, and fallen
from the box upon the horses, frightening
them, and causing them to run AWAY with
the h"arse. But such accidents might b,
prevented by dispensing with the driver
altogether, and adopting the continental
