THE SUPREME COURT-A WARNING.

Our people cannot DO warned too often
against the delusions which some
Of the decisions Of tho abortion,
known as the Supreme Court 81 Louis.
ana, are apt to convey. II IL natural
that the unwary. or those not convorsant
with law and legal matters should be
impressed by the so-called opinions OF
the highest tribunal Of the State. to the
extent Of accepting them as guides to
their conduct In business or other trans
actions liable 10 result In litigation ana
to be brought before tho Supreme
Court, and the danger. therefore,
becomes doubly great. With an honest
judiciary To interpret the law ana no-
minister Justice there are certain prln-
clples which are unsweryingly ana 1cal-
ously maintained and vigorously ap-
plicd. Whatever tho character Of the
question ut issue. and whomsoeVef tne
pcrsons involved. uncontrovertiblo
truths cxpoundcd which no respectable
counselor would advise client To defy.
and which individuals may with full
security adopt in their considerations
or right and wrong. With the present
fungus Supreme Court no such security
offers itself. Since It's existence these
principles and truths have not only been
set aside, not only been dcilcd. but they
have been tortured, twisted and dis
tortod according ms their greedy appe-
tites for pelf have dictated 1t to then
mouldy minds. The record IL so fnll OF
tho obliauo interpretations and DEGREES
of this court, courteously termed by To-
vaI gentlemen IA contradictions. that
il would take work MS extensive as the
Encyclopedia 10 recitc them. even IN an
abridged form.
Nevertheless, we propose, ut some m
ture time, to take up soine 81
tho wonderful clucubraiions OF the
mon presiding over this court and pub
liah tho facts connected with them fol
the editicntiou or our friends and our
enemies as we'll facts which, II we did
not have tho respectable opinion OF the
Supreme Court of the United States to
authorize ua in believing the motives ol
our Supreme Court to be corrupt. would
otherwise have to be stamped as the
cmanations or the brains or drivclng
idiots and lunatics.
Meanwhile we must repeat our warn
Ing to tho people not to bo induced into
error by many Of these decisions. which
might otherwise have baneful effect
upon their judgment and may leopard
their fortunes. and. mayhaps, thcii
honor and reputation. and which uccl
sions will never be sustained by any de-
cent and respectable tribunal that may
succeed the odious Supreme Court now
strewing legal chaff among US.

About half-past 8 o'clock last night,
as Mr.. Travala Descormier, who keeps
dyeing and securing establishment
on st. Ann street, was sitting at the door
Of his shop, two Dagoes entered the
place. Mr.. Descormier, thinking they
we're customers and wished to make a
purchase, started to light the gas, when
the two Dagoes rushed upon him, and
taking his pocketbook, started to fly:
Chase was Immediately given, and
Officer Mayran, with the assistance OF
some citizens, succeeded in arresting
the two thieves, after they had run a
couple of blocks, and lodged them in
the Third Precinct Station. The thieves
had dropped the pocketbook,, which
was afterwards picked up on the ban
quette and returned to the owner, not a
cent Of the money having been touched.
The robbers, on their arrival at the sta
ton, were identified as Jos. Leno and
