WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-Thea award of s. 100000
against the United -tates by the Fishery Claims
Commission at Halifax as compensation for
fishery priv eyes in Canadian wa ers, is the
most important event in the foreign retaions of
the United States that has occurred since the
award in our favor was made 1T Geneva on the
Alabama claims. Tue decision will of course
be an important topic in he Presidents mes
1t derives it's importance from the fact
that by the treaty OF Washington the hnding
of this comm sSon is not finally binding upon
our government. 1t would bs difficult to ex-
aggerate the surprise of Mr.. Hayes and the
Cabinet. rs W II Hs members of tn Committee
on Forrign Affairs at the magnitude oil the
award, and it il thought to bt, u very serious
question with the government whether the
finding should not be repuaiated. on account
of the gross injustice of the amount awarded
1t is more than probable thai. in case no res
will not be affirmed. The sum namei Is mt
least three tunes greater than an equitable
| award demanded and 1t il srzned hat our gov
eminent has as cd q right TO refuse to pay it
as the Brit sh government had to decline in adj
vance the payment Of consequential damages in
the Alabama cIse In fat, It is urged our right
is It'll better. bectlus, in the debate In Parlia-
ment, one year ago. the fact WIS generally adj
mittnd that the award of this commission would
not be binding. whereas the Geneva award was
binding upon CIR at Britain.
Canadian government has for a long time been
trying to get the adv lntage OF us In this matzs
ter. and now it has succeeded to certain He-
gree. 1t Is feared serious troubl, may vet grow
out of this question between the. United States

WELL WORKED UP.
How Our Criminal Juries are Tempered
with.

How Our Criminal Juries are Tempered
with.
The DEMOCRAT has very plainly intimated for
some days past that there had not been
careful drawing on the part Of the jury commits
sioners of good and true men to serve as jurors.
The comments then made and the observations
given have been verified by the expostions of
Special Aids Frank Minor and Dave Hennessey.
During the rial of The case of the State vs..
Mortimer Carr, for issuing forged bill OF lading,
Aid Frank Minor discovered the fact that one, or
even two, OF the jurors were too we'll
FIXED,
and at that time so said. The jury went out and
q verdict Of acquttal was brought in.
There can be no iestion but what there were
some members OF that jury whose characters are
alb we reproach, but the facts given below bear
with severity Ga certain members OF the panel
that had the Carr case in their hands. During
the past few days Detectives Minor and Hen
messy have been assiduousy at work at the case.
The result is that they discovered the f'ct that
Carr before his trial had employed certain parties
TO BUY OFF
iurymen. It has been learned that one of these
outside parties had offered brides to jurors oil
$500, and the proof, from what can be learned, il
most convincing.
Isaac Abbot, few DAYS after the renditlon OF
the verdict, met one of the jurors, and, present
ing him with five dollar bill, stated that ii
would have been a suit of Clothes but that Carr
| was too poor to give much.
After consulting with the attorneys of the
State, Aid Minor, having all the testimony
requisite, appeared yesterday evening be ore
Judge Miltenberger and made affidavit, charging
Mo timer Carr and Isaac Abbott with bribery.
The punishme mt for attemprin to brlbe jury
is fine of not less than 500 or more than $500,
and imprisonment at hard labor from six months
to two years.
These two efficient officers are to be commend
ed for their industry and energy manifested in
this case.

Yesterday Senator Will Steven was sub
iected to very painful and delicate opera
ton. which consisted in the resettipg of his
broken limb. Either by fault Of the original
operation, or because OF his having been moved
sooner than was advisable, the broken member
got misshapen and had to be reset. The opera
ton was successfully performed by Drs. schup-
pert, Chopin, Beard and smythe, and are
glad to learn that Mr.. Steven parsed through it
10 manner that gives promise of the most favor
able result We hope his recovery will be early
and complete. senstor Stevens services to the
state in the Senate, judging from his past record,
can ill be spared. His energy, tact and industry
as chairman OF important committees made him q
valuable servant Of the people. In search OF
health and pleasure the Senator met with a terri
bic accident in New York, from the effects Of
which we as his personal friends, and because of
his usefulness to our peoples interests, as we
understand them, hope to see him up and doing
on the first Monday of January next.
Our friend, Gen. W. J. Behan, Of the firm of
Zuberbier & Behan, is back at his business head
quarters. The general was away for sew raj days
in Washington and st. Louis, whittier he had
gone for the purpose Of urging the government
10 speedy tflAl Oh tne charges penang
against his old firm of Behan, Thorn & Co.
At the generals urgent requ OF. the charges
pending against the firm at 81. Louis were
brought to trial the other day, and the govern.

Attorney entered nohe prosequi. Gen. Behan
is now pressing the authorities here to grant his
old firm the constitutional right Of speedy trial.

PREPARE FOR THE RACES.
FOR THEY WILL BEGIN ON SATURDAY.
when there will be Rare sport and Jubf-
liant Enthusiasm.

when there will be Rare sport and Jubf-
liant Enthusiasm.
On Saturday next the opening notes Of the fall
racing meeting OF the Louisiana Jockey Club will
sound in merry style to the music OF scores OF
flying hoofs and the cheers OF thousands OF happy
people who are sure to lend their enlvening pres-
ence to that felicitous occasion.
Those who in this section are fond Of the excl
ting sports Of the running turf-and their name
is legion-are looking forward to the fall meet
ing with more than ordinarily eager expectations,
whetted by the promise OF a rare turf feast and
natural inclination for desire to renew famil-
Jar acquaintance with their favorite pastime,
after the interregnum OF q lopg summers silence
on the running track in the South.
Everything necessary to triumphant in.
augural on Saturday is In state Of perfect pre-
paratiop, and all now required to make the open
ing day great success is a disposition on the
part OF old Probs to provide fine weather. Every
race on the card will be gallantly and gamely
contested, and in each there will be big fields
of starters, for there are more horses here now
than we've bad at a fall meeting for many years,
and stable owners are keen on the scent for q
dash at the numerous purses hung up for their
benefit.
Among the most conspicuous improvements to
be introduced by the Jockey CLUBS enterprise a.
this meeting may be noted the furnishing OF
handsomely cushioned seats in the
ladies' quarter OF the grand stand. This grace
fnl considers ion for the comfort OF the fair ones
is quite in keeping wi b the elegant way in which
the club dspepses its hospitality; and it will, OF
course, be warmly appreciated.
Another new feature will be the of Western
Union telegraph station 10 the grand stand,
whence reports Of the races may be sent direct
| to any part of the country. During the meeting
an operator will be in attendance each race day
| for the transmission Of messages To turfmep
who use The wires frequently when the races are
on this will be great convenience
| There seems to be every reason for believing
that popular enc uragement will be liber4liy ex-
| tended, at the coming meeting, to the Efforts OF
| the Louisiana Jockey Club, toward q maintenance
in Louisiana Of the interests OF the running turf
and that it should be 80, would seem no more
than simple recognition Of the value and use
| funess OF the work to which the club has been
devoted since it's creation. Let the mark Of that
recognition, therefore, be firmly set upon the
clubs latest labors and let it be accordingly un-
dsrstood in substantial way that the task OF re-
| storing to New Orleans the tigh turf p estige abe
once held will not fail for lack OF public support.

There was considerable talk In State House
cir lies yesterday over the Washington situation
and the probability OF the admission OF Kellogg
to a seat in the Senate by the vote OF the presi-

During discussion over that question the point
was raised that the Vice President being not

case, but it was not doubted that he would.
