I'm. Haheock Trial.

81. Louis. February ls.-Upon the
conclusion of the session of the court
last evening the District Attorney au-
nounced that he would have some rebuff
tai evidence to offer this morning upon
the opening.
To-day George Gavien, the Secretary
Of the Board Of Police Commissioners,
was called for the purpose OF showing
the record Of Magill, the letter carrier,
who testified to returning two letters to
Joyce. The witness did not answer, and
the District Attorney immediately an
nounced that the government would put
in no rebuttsl testimony. The case was
then declared closed so far as evidence
was concerned.
Judge Dillon asked if the counsel had
arranged 10 what manner the closing
arguments should be made. Judge Por-
ter arose and said the defense had in
tended to raise q question Of Law looking
to the direction Of e verdict. and asked
permission TO address the Court. 1t
was granted. Judge Porter spoke at
considerable length. giving the grounds
on which he asked the Court to direct at
this stage Of the trial a verdict Of &C.
quittal. The right Of trial BY Jury be
held to be a right guaranteed by the
Constitution, and one to be upheld with
all its force and all it's sanction. In this
case, said Judge Porter. upon the undis.
puted facts We submit that there is no
question but for the Court to acQuit the
defendant. The evidence was then
passed in review very carefully and
slowly. and after their review Judge
Porter said we now ask for the scquittsl
Of the defendant at the hands Of the
court.
After a brief pause the court asked
the defense il they we're prepared to pre-
sent authorities.
Judge Porter replied in the afirma-
tive. and proceeded to read from books
various cases which he claimed we're
parallel on this point Of the Law to the
one under consideration.

To the Editor Of the MorristowA (Tsnn.l Ga
Eette;
The announcement OF the name Of a
candidate tor Sheriff Of the county, and
the mentioA Of Major Clarkson's nam
in connection with the Fortieth General
Assembly, remind me hat the Novem-
Der elections are coming, and that soon
the various candidates will be in the
field.
Permit me to remind your readers, Of
both political parties, that it behooves
them to be on the alert, especially in re-
gard to members Of the next Legisla-
ture.
The last Legislature started 10 the
right direction. II taxed the railroads,
which will realize to the State say, $780,
900 annually. 1t raised petit larceny to
$50, and made it a misdemeanor, thus
saving to the State in the way Of costs
OF prosecution and conveying convicts,
at least 5000, 900 per annum. At the
same time, it provided q county work
house system which inAicts q worse pun.
ishment, than under the old law, and
makes the criminal work out tina costs,
thus making crime support itself. It
abolished some Of the Offices, with q
heavy saving to the taxpayer. 1t mod
fled the County Court system, with great
saving to the people, and manifest advau.
tage to the business OF that court. II
taxed the dogs. from which the treasury
will realize at least $500, 600, and the
tsn,yards at least 200, 900 dog hides-and
the poor children Of the State millions
in the way Of meat and bread heretofore
fed to dogs.
Before the meeting Of the last Gen.
ersl Assembly the revenue Of the State
was not equal to the demands on the
treasury by $1,000 600 or $500. OOe per an.
mum.
Now it will be found that the revenue,
at the Same rate Of taxation, will be
100000 or 100000 more, and the de-
mands on the treasury 5000, 900 or $780,
600 less, 80 that the State will no doubt
be found by the next General Assembly
in a healthy financial condition. This
course pursued and improved on, will in
a few years reduce our State debt within
easy control, and reduce the rate Of tax.
alton.
But already the voice Of ~cross-road
sspirSntS are raised against one and an
other OF these measures.
One says the dog law is legislation
against the liberties Of the people," An
other says the last Legislature rendered
larceny respectable" Another whispers,
1t won't do to crush the railroads"
Still another says this meddling with
county courts is mighty little business"
And so they talk.
Now what | want to say, is, that these
laws are all Wholesome, and for the beat
interests Of the people, and ought not TO
be repealed. But if the real men Of the
different political parties don't watch
their corners, men will ride into the
next Legislature, on the repeal Of these
laws as their hobbies.
Let the taxpayers be vide awake. Let
them attend the primary meetings aud
conventions, and see that no man is
nominated who is not right on these
questions. Let them encourage no man
TO run till they know just how be stands.

erected a house OF worship. After the

The controversy in regard to the pow.

many people who take sides, know very
little about the legal aspects OF the

the police for an ofense against the State
the prisoner is placed within the exclusive
jurisdiction Of the Recorder, and can no

corder, as ex-ofiio justice Of the peace,
could take a prisoner out Of the hands Of
another magistrate. Where q prisoner

State and city, the State charge takes the
precedence, and the city cannot for the
