The New Orleans District Attorney
Addresses the Herald.

District Attorney Finney, OF New Orleans,
in letter to the HERALD, replies to the
statements made OH Saturday by the Return
ing Board in their letter to the HERALD.
Mr. Finney entirely justifes his action by
quoting on official request or instruction to
him by the Grand Jury to file the informa-
ton. This document is dated June ~,
and signed by the foreman, and Of course
makes Mr.. Finney's subsequent action proper
and necessary. He adds that the Court has
no secret files, that the counsel of Wells
knew OF what was being done, and that the
delay complained of resulted from the re-
fusal of Wells and others to acknowledge
the authority Of the Court. So far Mr..
Finney seems to us to stand justified.
But our correspondent adds that the
prosecution appears to be begun at the
instance Of Northern democrats, and, it is
said with some view Of thus rcopening the
Presidential contest. We hesitate to believe
that anybody here, even Mr.. David Dudley
Field, rs is charged, is foolish enough to do
this. The Bourbon element in the demo-
cratic party is not SO large as it was but if
any part of it should make so silly On at
tempt to reopen the Presidential struggle we
have no doubt the authors of such move
ment would be promptly disowned by the
party. Indeed, the democratic journals,
while very willing to see the Returning
Board exposed and punished, have gener-
ally and very sensibly secuted any sup
position that the trial Of Wells and the
rest could affect the Presidency. The
World remarked only yesterday morn
ing :--"For all practical purposes Pres
ident Hayes title is complete for no sane
mon has any notion of trying to invalidate
it," If it could be proved that Mr.. Tilden
was concerned in any attempt to get at the
Presidency for himself through this New
Orleans trial, or in any other way, he
would, we believe, very quickly find him
self left out in the cold by his party; and
the number of Democrats who beheld his
defeat with complacency would be i'm
mediately and largely increased.
We should be sorry to believe the rumor
which our correspondent sends that Major
Burke is on his way North, with statutes
and documents, at the instance of the Pres
ident's friends The President has had no
thought of interfering in this matter, and
no friend of his will put him in the posi-
ton of even appearing to interfere. He
has nothing to do with it, and the excite
ment of the extremists and Bourbons
in New Orleans shows, what we have several
times remarked, that this quarrel lies
mainly between them and the moderate OF
conservative men, whose leader is Governor
Nichols. If Mr.. David Dudley Field should
prove to be stirring mp that strife we should
not be much surprised ; but if Mr.. Tilden has
any regard for his own character or future
as public man he will hasten to disavow
all come ction with it,

A Difficulty Ended.

The funeral of the Orangeman, Hackett,
ut Montreal yesterday, which, it was feared,
might be the occasion of riot. happily
passed without any serious trouble. In the
western quarter of the city an Orange lodge,
which had attended the funeral procession,
met with some interruption from parcel
of rowdies, and on the outskirts of the
crowd boy was shot. During the afternoon
Protestant woman shook lily in the face
of Catholic female, and this absurd display
of feminine combativeness came near bring
ing on q serious disturbance. A quarrel
between two women was the cause OF the
death of Hackett. With. these exceptions
the demonstration passed off peaceably, the
authorities having wisely made ample prep
arations to meet and promptly suppress
any serious riot. The masses in this in
stance showed themselves to be more sensi-
BILE than those who undertake to instruct
them. A Catholic priest, in a sermon de-
livered on Sunday, took occasion to exhort
his congregation to keep the peace and re-
main away from yesterdays demonstration.
But in so doing he indiscreetly charged the
death of Hackett on the Protestant
press and pulpit, which he declared were
always ready to revile and Willy Catholics.
This was scarcely discreet argument to
use in the cause Of brotherly love. The
Protestant minister who preached the SER
mon over the grave of Hackett took occasion
to announce his approval of the determine
ton of the Orangemen to parade hereafter
on the 18th of July at any risk--another
somewhat singular position for an advocate
Of peace. 1t is to be hoped, however, that
the people of Montreal will show themselves
to be wiser than their teachers, and that
this year will see the last Of any street
parades Of Ribbonmen or Orangemen in
that or any other city on the American con-
tinent

Plants do Not Poison the Air.

THERE is notion prevalent that the
presence of growing plants In the sleeping
or living room is detrimental to healthy
atmosphere by their giving out poisonous
carbonic acid gas in the night time. The
investigations of chemists demonstrate
that growing plants do exhale an almost
imperceptible quantity of carbonic acid
gas, which, in very small proportions, is
necessary in the air we breathe. They
also show that the quantity exhaled al
night is but the one sixteenth part of what
the same plant absorb from the atnlos.
phere during the day and convert into
nearly its own weight of oxygen, thus
changing poisonous gas that derives it's
origin from various sources, into one of
the principal elements of pure air. If
carbOnic acid gas Is emitted from plants
In dangerous quantities, it certainly would
exist largely in the night atmosphere of q
close greenhouse heated to tropical tenn
perature, and crowded from floor to rafter
with rank vegetation. Yet in my expe-
rience, / have never known the slightest
ill effects to be realized from night work
in greenhouses: neither in cases that have
frequently occurred of workmen making
the warm greenhouses their sleeping
quarters of night, and even for an en-.
tire winter, which, to my satisfaction,
affords practical proof that the notion is
a fallacy; and the fact that perhaps no
healthier class of men can be found than
greenhouse operators, who work con-
stantly in an atmosphere where plants are
growing, would prove instead that living
plants exert beneficial influence upon
