C0RONERs' INOUEsTs.

An erroneous construction and erer
else OF the powers and duties of coro
ners and coroners' juries has long pre-.
vailed In this city. The fault seems I'd
lie with the coroners, who do not appear
to have studied the clearly expressed
and defined authority and power of
their office.
In she police columns OF yesterdays
DEMOCRAT will be found proof OF this
ignorance In verdict similar to
others found during years past,
wherein the jurors, who ought to
act under instructions OF the coroner.
assume to determine questions which
only courts and petit juries have the
power to try and adjudicate.
We refer to the verdict of the Jury
given at the inquest on the body Of John
Mooney, which IL as follows.
That John Mooney came to his death from
gunshot wound In the abdomen, inflicted with
pistol in the hands Of John Boyle (Eo~ In cus-
tody) on Friday evening. June Is, 1876, between
that said shscting was done while enforcing
warrant Of arrest issued BY the First Municipal
Police Court and In self Defense
It Is obvious that Coroner Roche erred
either In failing properly to instruct the
jury or In receiving and approving a
verdict which assumes to adjudicate
plea and acquita party Of a charge OF
homicide. This can only be done by a
court and jury after regular trial. The
functions and powers Of the coroner's
jury were discharged when they found,
as expressed in their verdict, that John
Mooney came to his death from a gun
shot wound In the abdomen inflicted
with pistol In the hands Of John Boyle.
The addendum that said shooting
was done while enforcing warrant OF
arrest, issued by the First Municipal
Police Court, and in self-defense," was
clearly an assumption of the power OF
a court, or at least OF a trial justice,
and could only be exercised by them
after hearing In which the State and
the accused were represented, and the
right Of cross-examination allowed to
both parties. The inquest Of coroner's
jury is conducted eG parte, and Is limited
to the ascertainment simply Of the
cause and manner OF the death. If in
the course Of the inquiry it should be
necessary, the coroner may have the
party who is shown to have committed
the homicide placed in custody for ap-
pearance and trial before the proper
tribunal. In the case Of Boyle, he was
already in custody and Coroner Roche
and the jury empaneled by him had no
power to try and acquit him. II such
course on the part Of the coroners is
persisted in and recognized as a lawful
exercise Of their powers, it will prove
very grave interference with the due
process OF law in criminal prosecutions
and trials.
The subsequent arrest and committal
Of Boyle, by process from Judge Smith,
show that the verdict of the coroner's
jury was properly regarded as Of no ef-
feet and in excess of their powers and
authority. We trust that Coroner
Roche will take the trouble to inform
himself and the juries he may empanel
more fully and correctly as to the
duties, powers and nature of their
Offices

Exit Status Quo.

In accordance with instructions,
that the status quo had been dissolv-
ed. Judge David Pierson, of the 18th
Judicial District, assumed the func-
tions of his office on Wednesday last,
without opposi'ion-pcaccah|y and
legally. Of course the Breda crowd
refused to obey the writs of the
Conrt. Int they were suspended, and
yielded mp authority to lawfully con-
sti;ntcd successors without even a
protest. seeming glad to escape the
turmoil of the contest. Mr.. MrzIcrr,
District Clerk, and colorcd Republic
can promptly recognized Judge Pier
son, and is conducting the office as
usual.
It would he we'll to note. while at
this point, the fact that all "ppos'
ton to the quiet and legal establish
mcnt of the rishtful government in
this State here; all opposition t" its
mandates, comes from white carpet
hagrrrs and scalawaGs. Every col
orcd Republican promptly comes t"
Nichols support, and it is question
which the white Radical thief curses
loudcst, the Democrat or the colorrd
Republican. In fact the colorcd men
of sense have either been with us
during the canvass, or they came tf
us with Pinchback.
Judge Persons authority was
promptly recognized by the entire
bar, and the lawful authorities have
now full charge of the rights, pro
pcrty, and peace of this community
There were more hcaminG faces OF
our streets during the day, of boil
white and colorcd citizens, than VT
have ever seen before. Every on'
seemed to think that now peace i
assured and law will be enforced.
The Radical malcontent is of conrs
not pleased with this turn of affair
that deprives him of his occupation
and will no doubt howl Justify. Whc'
that class howl it is 4 sure ign tina
honesty has got into power again.

REIMBURSEMENT CHURN

Munchauscn, the greatest of mar
vplists, has been eclipsel al last. We
heard a party relating "bnftalo sto-
ry," which he lays down in Texas.
the other day. that completely caps
the Baron in his widest flights. He
says at daylight he heard, while RI
ding on the prairies, terrible rumb-
ling noise, and the ground shook as
if afflicted with frst-class earth
quake. After riding Is miles he
came to bog in which there were a
thousand dead and begged Buffalo,
and lie learned from friend on the
site, that Capt. Mills had chased
gang of Buffalo numbering, accord
ing to actual count 1000 into this
hog, some % feet wide, and that the
1000 in front were begged down i'm
mediately, while the remaining 5000
made their escape by using the bodies
of those 1000 in the mire rs a bridge.
The story was listened to attentively !;
taken down and referred to a Com
mittee of the oldest and most mnscu-
lar "truth distorters" in the commu-
nifty; who, after a time. reported
the whole story worthy of the most
solemn and religious credit-except
the width of the bog; which, in their
estimation. was "a ID |ie." If the
teller of that Buffalo story will agree
to widen the bog to so feet, his yarn
will be swallowed, Buffaloes, IS miles

TOM. BouLLT.-This little pink of
Radical rascality, whom we have
shown up several times as a hummer
and q thief, played one of his usnal
tricks which is likely to get him in
trouble. The negro Norbert, who
maliciously fred into private resi-
dence in this city, was arrested on
Wednesday by order of Judge Sim
mons. Boullt is an Office Deputy
for Sheriff Barron, and Simmons fix
ing the trial for next day, Thursday,
turns him over to Tom Boullt, who
releases Norbert on bond of fifty d2l-
lars. Mind you, this deputy Sheriff
releases prisoner on a bond without
the order of Court, and FIXES the
amount of the bond himself. In other
words Tom Boullt is giving ia a taste
of what kind of government Packard
and his crew would havo doled ont
had they, unfortunately, got control.
He plays the roie Of Sheriff and
Judge; and releases prisoner, eharg-
ed with capital offence, the punish
ment for which is ten years in States
prison and $4,000 fine, and tile proof
so conclusive that there IS no escape,
upon miserable bond of $50 that
has no effect in law.
1t is our solemn opinion that this
parish has been afflicted long enough
with the Infamous Bonllt family, and
the sooner they take themselves out
of public notice, and quietly retire te
the rear, the better for alt concerned
All the horror of Radical local rule
with s'per cent taxation is intimately
associated with the Boullt's-ths,
should recognize that their day ofth'
dogs has been had, and pass out.
