Mcssrs DAVIS ana Daniels holding that The Judgment
was harsh though not unjust. while Judge Lawrence
had declared it TO be positively untenabc IN law and
thence the case was carried by Mr. Grant 10 the Court
OF Appeals, where argument was ucard to-day.
Mr.. MacLean made an extended argument showing
that the reversal OF the decision the Court be0w
would dcmoralizc the whole police efficiency OF the
city by opening up a thousand or more cases Of the

prcmacy OF the Police Board In the management

Pinchback on the warpath.

The speech OF Brother PINcHBAcK (col-
oredl the other day before the Louisiana
delegation at Cincinnati, makes the GRANT
Republicans squirm. Incensed because
the Administration prevented his admis-
sion to the Senate, he told some plain
truths which show that he means mischi ef
II laid the lash over the shoulders OF
CASEY, PACKARD, KELLOGG, aud their con-
federates, in style that made them COVER
at his feet. He charged them with having
brought ruin upon the Republican party
OF Louisiana, with having used the delu-
ded negroes in carrying through their
schemes, and with having oonspired with
GRANT to keep him out OF the Senate; and
he gave the party Of the whole country to
understand that unless II changed its
course the day was at hand when its con-
troll of the colored vote would cease.
PINcHBAcK, no doubt expresses the sem
timents OF a large class of the colored
leaders Of the $4,000 negro voters in the
South. They feel that they have been
duped by the carpet-baggers and swindied
by the administration, and they are eager
for revenge. No doubt PINcHBACK's claim
10 seat IN the Senate was invalid but il
was just as sound as that on KELLOGG to
be Governor, aud of the other rascals who,
under color Of Office have for years ruled
and robbed Louisiana; aud he has no doubt
that # he had beer white man, and the
tool Of CASEY, he would have been prompt
ly sworn in us a senator.
Mr.. PINcHRAcK is shrewd, bold, fine
looking, dresses in the height of fashion,
can make a fluent, pithy speech, and be-
lieves in fighting when the quarrel reaches
that point While he was Lieutenant
Governor Of louisiana, and presided over

Last sunday Mr. BIAISE left his house
at Washington, in the morning, and walked
with his family to church. This was an
entirely pI oper proceeding. II ever man
needed the consultations of religion II was
he. II ever one needed TO abase himself
in contrition for bad deeds done and good
deeds left uudone, II was he. Besides, lie
was prominent candidate for the Repub-
lcan nomination aud 1t was prudent to
appear rs religious man IN the eyes OF
religious voters. AS he entered the por-
tails of the church, he put his hands to his
head and said my GOD, my head" He
then sat down. dropped his head and be-
came unconscious, and was put in an ON
nibus and driven back 10 his house.
This was very extraordinary attack.
Looking at it medically, it can scarcely
be regarded us sunstToke. Because q
sunstroke, attended with such grave symp-
toms as are reported in his case, could
scarcely leave the patient in a condition to
recuperate so rapidly as he is said to have
done. HIS family physician, DR.. PORE, at
nine O'Clock IN the evening, having made
n diagnosis Of the case, announced 1t as
one OF simple cerebral depression, pro-
NNNNN pAAH"iAJ ~ great mental stItlu,
and secondarily, by the action of exces-

would seem very hard to determine. II
indeed means nothing. There is no signifi-
canoe in the tenn cerebral depression.
There is no such technical phrase in medi-
cine.
At eleven o'clock at night Mr.. BLAINE
was allowed to get out of bed, sit in his
chair and converse. Before that he had
