eontive Committee has called 9
parish democratic convention to
assemble It Lake Charles On the
third Saturday Of june ihe dele
gates 10 which are 10 be elected
iii the various wards % the second
Saturday If June. Il will also be
observed that there is no iuiima-
tim given 81 tie object Of calling
that convention, nor of the action
to be taken by il.
Under these circumstances II ls
especially and vitality important
that the true democracy Of Calca-
sieu shah ID every ward 60 to the
polls on the second Saturday Of
June, and elect as their delegates

mocracy electing them men, es-
pecially, who can stand the test OF

Two things the convention will
do elect delegates to the State

lille It Baton Rouge, July oath,

lthat We shall be represented in the
State Convention aud on the State
Central Committee by men whose
democracy is above suspicion, and
Who have always been noted for
their opposition to the Kellogg
usurpation, which is the prescribed
test Of party membership, our dem
ocratic readers will at once see
how necessary it is that our Par
ISL Convention which will elect
those delegates, is composed Of
men Who win be sure to elect dele
gates possessing the above quail
fcations.
Another, and the only other,

Hamp on's Farce.

Columbus, Dec. 15.-The Democrats
went through the ceremony of inaugur-
ating Hampton as governor yesterday
afternoon in the presence of a crowd of
500 or 600 people assembled in the open
square adjoining Carolina Hall. Not
withstanding the strong passion of col
ored people for sightseeing, hardly a
score Of them could ybe Induced to at
tend the show. Considering the large
colored vote which the Democrats claim
was cast for Hampton, the conspicuous
absence of those voters on this interest
ing occasion was certainly q notable
feature of the performance. Hamp-
TOMS Inauguration was witnessed by
many ladies and by members OF the
English parliament.

o; State We. Reach, 40 VT, 1l8; Alderman
w.. The People, Mich, 4l6; State We.
hooerts. "a Maine, 80
IN Maine it is an ofense for two or more
TO consPlfe with the intent unlawfully and
w'ckedly TO commit any crime punishable
by imprisonment in the State prison (State
vs.. Roberts). but we think it viii hardly be
claimed that an Indictment would be good
under this statute, which charges the OBJ
ject of the conspiracy to have been s'unlaw.
fully and wickedly to commit each, every.
all and singular the crimes punishable by
imprisonment in the State prison." All
crimes are not so punishable. Whether .
particular crime be such one or not is q
question of law. The accused has, there
fore, the right to have specification of the
charge against him in this respect. in order
that he may decide whether he should pre-
sent his defense by motion to quash, de.
Murrer or plea, and the court, that it may
determine whether the facts will sustain
the Indictment. So here the crime is made
to consist in the Unlawful combination with
an intent to prevent the enjoyment of any
right granted or secured by the constitu-
ton. etc. All rights are not 80 granted or
secured.
Whether one is so or not is a question of
law to be decided by the court, not the
prosecutor. Therefore the indictment should
state the particulars, to inform the court as
we'll as the accused. 1t must be made to
appear, that is to say. appear from the in
dictment without going further, that the
acts charged will, if proven, support a con-
viction for the offense alleged.
But it is needless to pursue the argument
further. The conclusion ia irresistible that
these counts are too vague and general.
They lack the certainty and precision re-
nuirad nv tho established rn1ea Of crimjn al
pleading. 1t follows that they are not good
and sufficient in law. They are so defective
that no judgment of conviction should be
pronounced upon them.
The order of the Circuit Court arresting
the judgment upon the verdict lie, therefore,
affirmed, and the cause remanded with sin
structiOns to discharge the defendants.
