POLICE BOARD.
Superintendent Loan Pleads Not Guilty
Commissioner Ryan Forces
Continuance Of the Case.

Friday being the regular session of the
Police Board q lively time was expected
as Chief Of Police w. r. Loan was to be
tried on charges preferred against him
by Commissioner v. A. Ryan, for neglect
OF duty and disobedience of orders in
refusing to comply with the resolution
adopted by the Police Board, December
20, 1875, relative to bunko.
At 10 o'clock all the members being
present Vice President r. A. Bray took
the chair and the Secretary read the
charges preferred against the Superin-
tendent,
Commissioner Ryan arose and in
formed the Board that he was not pre-
pared for trial, and asked u continuance
Of the case until Monday.
Col. Loan said that he was ready for
trial; that he knew there was more
behind the accusation than appeared on
the face, and that the charges could not
be sustained, and that he thought it
was nothing but justice to give him q
trial at once.
Commissioner Lewis wanted to know
Ii 1t would affect the Chief i'm any way
by a continuance.
Col. Loan replied that it affected his
reputation for honesty and efficiency.
Mr.. Ryan here moved that the case
be continued until Monday.
This Col. Loan protested against,
stating that he could not see upon what
grounds the Commissioner wished q
continuance; that he had had ample
time to get his witnesses, even if they
had to come from California.
Commissioner Gaudet moved that the
charge be put upon it's second reading,
which was done.
Mr.. Murdock then seconded Mr..
Ryan's motion, stating why he seconded
it was that the charges were made on
information received, and that he wished
to give the Commissioner time to pro-
duce his witnesses before the Board, to
substantiatc the charges If he could :;
and il the Superintendent had wished
u continuance in his case, he would have
done likewise.
Commissioner Lewis then took the floor
and said he thought that the Superin-
tendent should be allowed to enter his
plea of guilty or not guilty IL he desired
to; and IL those gentlemen, who were
witnesses for the defence did not reside
IN the city, as stated by Col. Loan, and
could not stay until Monday, let them
make their written statement before
any one authorized to take testimony
and lot it be used as testimony for the
defence.
Commissioner Mccarthy wished Com
missioner Ryan to state why he was not
ready; that sufficient time had been
given him to have collected his wit
nesses.
Commissioner Ryan answered by sta
ting that his principal witness was not
in the city and could not be here before
Monday. And Ryan furthermore stated
that il the Board insisted upon trying
Col. Loan to-day he would Withdraw
the charges.
Vice President Bray wanted to know
IL Mr.. Ryan had taken steps to have the
witness present, and was answered
yes"
The motion was then put to see il the
would be allowed to
plead to the charge, which was carried.
Col. Loan then entered a plea OF not
guilty, and the case was continued until
Monday next.
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-01-22

Tor war between this country and Spain.
No respectable authority on interna-
tional law gives single principle upon
which such conflict could be justified.
Vattel lays down the universally ac-.
cepted doctrine on the subject, and
II he had been discussing the present
relations between Spain and this
country he could not have been more
explicit in his condemnation of the
course which the President has fore-e
shadowed. whoever forms to himself
the. idea OF war; says this admirable
author, considers its terrible effects. its
destructive and unhappy consequences.
must agree that it should never be
undertaken without the strongest rea-s
sons. Humanity is shocked at sover-
eign who, without reason, lavishes tho
lives of his most faithful subjects,
who exposes his people to the
havoc and miseries of war, when they
might enjoy an honorable and sal.
utary peace. And Ii this imprudence,
this want Of love for his peo-
pie, be accompanied with Injustice
towards those he attacks, what guilt
does he incur, or rather what series Of
crimes does he commit Besides the
misfortunes drawn on his subjects, for
which he is accountable, he is guilty also
OF those he carries amidst an innocent
people. The slaughter of men, the
pillage of cities, the devastation of pro-
vinCeS, are his crimes. He Is RESPONSE
bic to God and accountable to man for
every person that Is killed. The vio-
lences, the crimes, the various disorders
attendant on the licentious tumult OF
arms, pollute his confidence and blacken
his account, as he is the original author
OF them all. CO,Tier-JOlTnaI.
