Grand Jury for usurping the Of
flee of Justice OF the Peace, and
his brother Thomas indicted tor
perjury, were tried Oh Monday
and Tuesday last and acquitted.
j. S. Biliiu, Esq, applied for Il
new trial in the case of Thomas
Hadley, found guilty Of perjury
last week, gu the ground that the
old man, being defended by a
hnmbng and Il cheat,-the man
Whiting who was no lawyer
was not properly defended. The
Judge having granted a new
trial, the States Attorney enter
ed Il nolle prosequi, when Hadley
was released.
Hadley. an old negro of 60
years, was the dupe amt tool of
this pair OF Cunio brothers, who
induced him to do anything they
de sired, and who should have
been punished for the crime, for
which the old man was adiudged
to be guilty. This may be d saIu-
ta1y lesson to these designing
upstarts, who, imagine that the
Sun simply rises and sets for
their benefit, bnt who had as we'll
understand, that the time for
such foolishness as they have
been INDUCING in, has passed
away forever.
The other day one Of the
late officials in this Parish APP
preached the District Attorney,
aud desired to know why he did
not stop those processes by
which their rascalities were being
brought to light. The little bird
that gave this information, says
that the ex-official went away
with a very large flea in his right
ear. MI. Snaer, is u Republican
and a colored man, neither OF
which is Il crime, and is endeavor
ing to perform his duty as a pub
lie officer. These Radical leaders
are utterly unable to compre-
{ bend the difference between the
Government OF the State and
the Republican party. and can
not perceive that unearthing and
Furnishing public plunderers, and
rascals has nothing to do with d
mans political sentiments.
, There is u war raging in this
State in solemn earnest, not
, against Republicans, but agains,
, IL class of men who have been
robbing the people, and systema-
tically appropriating those taxes
for their own vile purpose, iD>
stead of their purposes for which
thew were paid
j, If they suffer for it. it will nol
| he because they II RADICALS, hu'
, because they are rascalS.
