New Orleans Whisky Convicts.
The Washington correspondent OF Il
Cincinnati CD,n IN prci0l aave.

Cincinnati Commercial says:
Some time ago the counsel for the crooked
whisky men of New Orleans applied to the
Chief Justice for a writ of habeas corpus
for the release of their clients, on the
ground that they we're unlswfully placed in
the West Virginia penitentiary, where they
are compelled to do hard labor. The law
provides that in case there is no suitable
prison in the State where the conviction is
had, the Attorney General may have per-
sons convicted in United States courts sent
to an institution of his own selection.
Another statute provides that United States
prisoners shall be subjected to the dis.
cipline of the institution where they may
be confined. In the West Virginia penl.
Tertiary the rules provide that all convicts
must work. The Chief Justice has just
rendered his decision, refusing the applica
ton on the foregoing grounds. 1t is under
stood that in case the application had beer
successful similar attempt would have
been made on behalf of the St. Louis con
victs.

The Edison Electrical Pen.

Mr.. A. II. Wilkins, of No. 1l2 Camp
street, has on exhibition and for sale . won
derful little instrument, the invention of
Mr.. Thomas A. Edison, the discoverer Of
the etheric force, inventor of the quaruplex
telegraph stock indicator, etc. 1t is to be
rur entirely by electricity, by q battery
which can be set up by any intelligent per-
son, is almost as light as an ordinary pen,
and requires but few hours use to cause
the hand to be equally accustomed to it.
By its use and that of the accompanying
press. q thousand duplicates of q single let
ter may be produced in as little time az the
same number of impressions could be OBJ
tanned from an ordinary hand press.
Itconsists. to start from the effect instead
of the power, of Sharp No. needle
which punches in the paper fifty holes of
ute. 1t is contained in q tube, from which
it projects, about the size of large PEN
holder. which held perpendicular in the
fingers may be moved as slowly or rapidly
as habit dictates. The needle is driven by
small engine like q wheel with one broad
diameter for two spokes, on the top of tho
tube. This "spoke" is q pole which Is
alternately attracted and repealed by
double magnet connected by single cord
containing the wires of the positive and
negative currents Of the battery, whose &C.
ton is the whole secret. The battery itself
is exceedingly simple. When the pen is
not in use it is placed in q neat stand and
the plates are lifted out of the fluid of the
battery. by means of groove in q support
ing rod.
To take the simplest use this little ma
chine can be put to, it is valuable when
only one copy of letter is desired to be re-
tanned. Write the letter with the pen,
place the paper in the press, pass the ink
| roller over it, and on another sheet, previ-
ously placed on q bed underneath, is the
letter, having the exact appearance of
TYPOGRAPHY, caused by the ink passing
through the holes. Place another clean
sheet, use the roller again, and a duplicate
is there. Mail one and file the other, and
| the little book is abolished. No more bad
| or undecypherable copies to refer to, and
no more blotted letters sent. Besides, the
| original perforated may be kept for future
! Impressions.
Extend this plan to . thousand copies,
| and this number q sheet of foolscap has
been known to endure, and the machine is
invaluable for price lists, market quota
tions. circular letters, small pamphlets,
catalogues, briefs, contracts, manlfests,
labels, bill heads, envelopes, and even
maps, drawings, patent office tracings, bills
of fare and music. Two hundred copies
may be written, printed and mailed in an
hour.

BROWN GUARDS OF THE THIRD WARD
Another large and enthusiastic meeting of
the Brown Guards, was held on Friday
evening, September 8, at Home Missionary
Hall, Franklin street. Over seventy-ive
solid Republican voters were added to the
roll. The uniforms were shown, and gave
the members of tho club great pleasure.
Mr.. j. D. Kennedy and others, members
of the club, addressed the meeting.
Mr.. Kennedy commenced by thanking
the club for the invitation to address them,
and complimented them on the success OF
their organization. He then spoke OF the
opposition of the Democratic party to the
colored people from the breaking out OF the
rebellion down to the present moment. 1t
had antagonized all efforts to give them
their rights and had voted steadily against
all the grand principles engrafted upon our
legislation. He contracted the different
candidates, and claimed that over one-half
of Governor Tilden's letter of acceptance
was devoted to the discussion of our finan-
cial situation and the remedy therefor. The
onaation of finance did not enter largely
into our canvass: because it was too oompli-
Gated, but the great question with US In the
South was whether we would pc permltteo

ocratic associates apparently na4 forgotten
that those whs had been freed Dy the late
war. who compose the bulk Il the LABOR

who by the sweat OF their brow and the
touphened sinews beneath their brawny
arms contributed millions OF dollars annu,

Republican friends would be protected IN
their civil and political rights he sal9
that this was not day for adroltnees ana
political skill and thousand shifts. 1t was
day for honest and consistent declara-
tions; for undoubted fidelity; for victory
which would vindicate the reform OF the
mast. and not one which would conceal the
errors of the present and threaten the peace
and prosperity of the future. He then

BENEFIT OF WILLIAM CoNDON.-All that
is left of man who, only short time ago,
was one of the finest muscular specimens
that performed honest toll to support a
large family, is now prone in Charity
Hospital ward, and his loving wife daily
stands by his bedside to wait on his small
est wish. Three months on q hospital bed,
with couple OF bullet holes in his body, is
not calculated to inspire q man with much
confidence in anything. William Condor,
one of the base ball players who stood in
the front ranks when the game was on the
surface, is now q bottom rail in the greater
game OF life, without many friends, and the
rough iron hand of poverty on him and his
dependent family. A few of his former com
panions, knowing this to be the case, hav c
arranged to assist the unfortunate. On
the seventeenth instant q base ball game
will be played, probably on vacant lot,
near the head of ITALIA street, by vol
unteers, some Of them formerly members OF
the good old time ball clubs, for the pur
pose of raising sum Of money to help poor
Condor. Tickets are now prepared, and
may be obtained of Mr.. w. o. Hart, No @
Commercial alley. Should the time and
place be changed ample notice will be pub
lished.

The HOOK WELL BAITED, BUT NO BIT
ERs.-Lass night, under the call of a Con-
sentative NEE ting, at which cOlOred men
were invited to participate, there was a
Democratic glorifcation meeting on bat
ture lot at the corner of Tchoupitoulas and
Amelia streets, in the Sixth District. About
400 people were present, including women
and children. A ecore of colored men were
among them Mr. E. L. Bower presided, and a
colored man struggling after fame with the
euphonious name of j. Chetham Davis was
the orator of the night. He was fully i'm
pressed with the idea that the only way to
keep colored men from being outraged,
robbed and muir dered was to surrender to
the Democratic political overseers, who
would protect them; hence he argued
strongly for the Nichols ticket.
Mr.. +. McG.oin followed, with the assur
ance that the Democrats were the true
friends of the negroes, and as soon as they
could drive away the carpet-baggers they
would be able to demonstrate their friend
ship. The orator declared that the Demo
cratic party would win, if not in this cleo
ton they would in the next; that emigration
was open, and immigrants would come tt
this State from Ireland, Germany, England
fRussia and other countries and settle dowr
and become naturalized citizens, and would
side with the Democratic party, and, there
fore. beat the Republican party in thu
course of time. The speaker was closing
when he was called upon by colored mai
in the crowd to know if his party intended
to bring immigrants from ireland to Thu
country for the purpose of ruling it ant
defeating the colored men, This seemed t.
stump the speaker, for he merely stated
that the Democratic party had invited thu
colored men to join them, and this would
prevent such an occurrence. The meeting
was also addressed by Messrs. E. Johl
Ellis and Charles Buck.

BRIEF MENTION.-It is worthy OF more
than brief mention that Mr.. Tony Bagnito
is the scenic artist who executed the stage
painting for the Shakespeare Clubs last
entertainment in Carollton Garden. The
work was SO we'll done that the clubs hired
grumbler did not find fault.
General A. S. Badger is decidedly in
clined to believe the story about the finding
OF Judge Macarthur in Philadelphia, having
had an intimatioR, three months ago, that
the judge was An inmate of an insane ssy-
lum of that city.
Joe Bernard, his spring wagon and
springy horse were yesterday arrested on
lower St. Charles street, because the estab-
lishment could not show q license to run.
Dominique Palmassno, seeing one of his
friends in the hands of q policeman, put in
bit of tall kicking, for which he was sud-
denly permitted to take an unfurnished
room in the first cslaboose by request Of
Captain Gray.
Why is it that the Democratic Parish
Central Committee does not promulgate its
report on the alleged interruption of the
colored Democratic club at the corner OF
Notre Dame and Tchoupitoulas streets
Three weeks have elapsed, and our denial
has not been met.
Flying lead is good enough for burglar,
especially the fellow who feloniously en-.
tered the premises of Mr.. Burke, on Cal.
licpe, near Bsronne street, Friday night.
Mr. Burke discovered the intruder and shot
at him several times. The burglar was
heard grooming, 80 it is thought that at
least one of the messages went home. The
fellow escaped.
One reason given by the Democratic
supervisor in the eighth ward for refusing
to register Thaddeus Swami was because q
blind man could not or would not identify
the applicant, when q smelling committee
went nosing around. However, Mr.. Swami
has succeeded in obtaining the desired
paper.
Mr.. Henry A. ANTI, of the Department OF
Public Accounts, arrived home yesterday,
by the New Orleans, st. Louis and Chicago
railroad, from the West, where he has been
sojourniny for the past month. He looks
none the worse for his trip.
Although the backbone Of summer il
neither bent nor broken, hunters are clean

that migratory game is abundant and

it may be noted that the only time treason
is mentioned is in q note denying the power
of the United States to punish it. That tax
collectors have not been made elective
shows the antirepublican spirit of the times
These lew notes will show that the work
standard authority. The authors quoted
are few. The "Federalist," 'Elliotts De-
Bates" John Norton Pomeroy in opposi
ton, are used the most. Two citations are
made from Story, but several from his de-
cisions. Pomeroy and Story are classed as
having the same ideas, yet Story made the
"Federalist' the basis of his work. The
reports, State constitutions, Blackstone,
Coke. Justinian and Kent, Curtis, Ban
croft and Austin, Chapman, Rawle,
Bishop, Vattel, Martesquieu and Alexan-

the constitutions of all the States. In ad-

in law books, there is the exception of an
abundance of small caps and italics.
