Court Items.

The following capital cases we're con
tinued yesterday:
John Garvey and Charles Earle, charged
with the murder of Magdelen Zollinger OF
April "a, 1871. Fourth trial. On motor
of the Attorney General, to enable him te
secure the attendance of Sam NJ. Dalton
leading witness, continued to Monday
January "a.
State We. C. X. Lemane-Arsop; to Jan
uary 90.
State vs. Luca Rabita.-Arson. Accused
out on bail is out of the State. Ten days
time has been given to his bondsman to
secure the appearance of the accused.
George Morris, who killed Sarah Jones on
the thirtieth Of November, 1875, on St.
Louis street, in horrible manner, was
yesterday sentenced to be hung. He took
his sentence coolly. and showed no emotion
whatever. He declared himself satisfied,
and was remanded to the Parish Prison,
after Judge Steele had suggested to him
that he should use the short time left hi N
to m AXE his peace with God.

Tho Eustis Chances.

The reception our Mr.. Eustis met with
yesterday, and the disposition made of his
irregular documents, does not argue very
favorably for his chances of becoming q
United States Senator. In fact, he was
looked upon as an applicant for admission
having no credentials, because he had no
Governors certificate of election by any
Legislature, and no appointment in his
pocket for an unexpired term. Mr.. Marr's
petition, it will be remembered, was read
and laid on the table. The case of Mr..
Eustis was so foreign to the Senate's serious
consideration that it was not even referred
to the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions. His documents were not fully read,
but were ordered to be printed in the
Record as if read, and that will probably
end the Eustis case, as now presented.

A New Flyiag Machine.

A new flying machine was tested in Eng
land, the other day, under the superintend-
ence of Mr.. Simmons, the inventor. The
apparatus is constructed te rise by means
of the wind alone to any required height,
and to take up one or nose persons, so as
to enable them to extend their view over q
large extent of country. 1t is constructed
of light but strong canvas, something in the
shape of gigantic umbrella with four
arms, on which canvas is stretched, . pole
answering to an umbrella handle passing
through the centre, to which the four arms
are fastened, the whole being further
strengthened by means of iron wires. Its
weight ia about one hundred pounds.
Owing. perhaps, to there being but eight
wind blowing, the experimental trials end
ed in failure. The machine was raised
much in the same way a. kite; q number
of the Royal Engineers dragging it along at
. run by means of . long rope-bsgs Of
sand being used as ballast, and to repre-
sent the person supposed to be carried.
After attaining an altitude of about one
hundred feet, it suddenly came to tho
ground with Q crash, breaking away some
portions, and entering other dsmage.-New

One Chance fer Justice.

Last Saturday . petition was presented
to the House Of Representatives by Mr.
Cain Ssrtain, OF Carroll, which the House
summarily laid on the table. If the House
had listened to this petition or memorial it
would have found it more consistent with
it's dignity to take more respectful action
on it.
1t is the simple recital of man named
Frank Haywood or Hargrave. 1t may be
presumed, although he does not say so, that
he is a colored man. He is uneducated, for
he makes his mark instead of writing his
name. He is helpless unless the laws pro.
tect him.
He says he has been long a resident Of
New Orleans. is an old man, and was hired
to 60 to Franklin parish to pick cotton at
els month. When he got there, in addi-
ton to that work he split rails, etc., for his
employer, John King Kade. He worked
from July, 1875, to January 6. 1876. He
never received cent. When he wished to
leave he was threatened with revolvers.
That is nearly all he tells of himself, but
he tells worse of man named Henry, from
Mobile. he asserts that on the Kade plan
tation slavery has been revived; that this
man Henry has worked there for three
years and received nothing; that by what
he has seen and "by whippings and threats"
he is held, fearing to suffer what he has seen
done to others.
There is much more in this petition that
10 worthy of the consideration of the House.
But the demands of the petition are modest
1t is true they should not be granted exactly
as asked; but the House, for it's own sake,
should discover whether or not the petit
tion is foxnded on fact. The petitioner
asks the Heuse "to so amend the law as to
give him the right to follow the product of
luis labor wherever it may be found, in the
courts of his home, as well as those of the
planter"
1t is evident all he desires is justice.

The Southern Republican Club.

The course Of lectures which has hereto
fore been announced to be delivered before
this club, has now fairly begun. Judging
from the reputation of several Of the speak
ere who have been named, we may expect
some light to be thrown upon several at
present rather occult subjects. Without
being mysterious at all, we may say that
we believe it to be the intention of the
orators to ''speak out in meeting" as they
say at revivals. Mr.. John Ray will speak
tonight; General Sewell, on the twenty
sixth, and Messrs. Fellows, Posey and
Braughn will follow in the order named, l.,
and probably on succeeding weeks.
This is all very wsll and satisfactory,
though the information is somewhat hard
to obtain. Why all this secrecyl Why
not discuss private business in secret ses-
sien, and general principles openly. We
have no desire to interfere with the secret
working of the club. In all matters re-
lating to membership, finance organiza-
tione, etc, we feel perfectly Indifferent; but
the political aims and views of more than
q thousand intelligent citizens, organized
for the purpose of acting as q unit in pub
lie affairs, become q matter of public inter
est, and are really public property. We
take the liberty Of repeating the suggestion
that the club throw its doors open to the
public when there are to be discussions on
public matters. This can be done either
before or after private business has been
disposed of. We know many of the mem
bers. They are gentlemen of liberal We've,
and We appeal to them to let the public
fairly and sqnarely know to some extent
what they are doing, by which we shall
know how to place the organization. At
present it is not very easy to say whether
they side with the administration or not,
and an inquiry of this sort is not out of
place in regard to an organization which
has on its rolls a large number of
prominent Republicans.
