A man asked our legal opinion
the other day as to what would he
the consequences of a man hitching
his horse to the court yard fence.
We have taken time to study mum
cipal and other law, and what rela
ton a peck of dirt on the inside
bears to peck of dirt on the out
side of the fence, and the relative
claims of the town and county to
the control of the line which divides
their property, and think we can
answer now without hazarding our
legal reputation.
If man bitches his horse there,
there are several possible conse,
quences: If the bride be strong and
the horse doesn't slip it, he may
stay there until he starves to death,
the cupCla blows over on him, or
some one loosens him. He might,
get tired standing on one side and
try to get through the crack, and
the consequence would be that he
would come out on the same side
he went in on, for he cannot get
through. If he was tied up fast by
the tail he fright suffer some incon-
venience when the fence grows so
tall as to lift him off the ground.
The rope might not be strong
enough to hold him if Fort Hill
were to erupt, and the fence might
come up by the roots if a load Of
fodder were to pass in sight. If
he got tired standing on his feet
and tried standing on his head, the
blood might congregate and coagu
late in the cellular tissues OF the
tarantula oblongata and precipitale
a hyperbolical hydrocephaiitic
spasm that would induce him to
get down into a normal attitude
again. If he were allowed to stand
there say month and none of thece
accidents came to his relief, ten to
one he would then be fit Tor treason,
strategy and possibly the jockey
yard. Some one might object to
his standing there-as, say, Town
Constable; and County Court night
supersedeas the Constable, and Cir
cult Court might mandamus the su
persedeas, and Chancery Court
might habeas corpus the mandamus,
and Supreme Court might quo war;
ranto the hapeas corpus, and in the
j1mbled confusedness of complex
Involving ENHANCEMENT consequent
upon such mixed irregularIty Of
inextricable promiscuousness, some
body's calf might come up and chaw
the rope in two and the horse count
himself out. If the man who bitches
him there were 10 pc lined 90 cents

run the county in debt and raise

Court might get disguised and set
fire to iron fence, and horse, bride,
rope, calf, habeas corpus, Constable
and all go up in one grand confla-
grafton that would be hailed. like

Beautiful Room,

The new State Department, only now
receiving the finishing touches, is quite
an objective point of interest the room
fitted up as the reception room for foreign
ministers being especially attractive. It is
very long and wide, with a lofty ceiling,
which, with the walls, is frescoed in har-
monious tints traced in pleasing designs.
Covering the dark wood mosaic floor are
rich Persian rugs, on which the feet fall
without an echoing sound. The curtains
are of some Eastern fabric, in color a
silvery blue, and the furniture is uphol-
stored in the same rich stuff There is
library table, with seats around it, and on
it the paFaphernalia of private study,
all in silver bronze. This opens into the
apartment devoted to the use of the Sec
rotary of State, which is fitted up in the
same luxurious way. The library, one of
the finest in the city, has recently been
arranged and catalogued in suberb room
specially adapted for its reception, re-
joicing in galleries and alcoves, the glar-
ing wilderness of the walls disguised by
tender tints of coloring The room opens
on spacious loggia, commanding a sub
erb river view, extending for many miles.
In this library, in a swinging cage, is the
original draft of the declaration of indie
pendence, Japanese documents of State
letters, deliberately done up in silk wrap
pings and placed in logwood cases, with
heavy cords and tassels, and a thousand
other things of equal interest Near this
attractive room is the roll room, where, in

MamptOn,s Policy.

A Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette says:
A new and important fact in regard to
Wade Hampton's dealing with the colored
men tried for conspiracy at Lowndesville,
South Carolina, has lately become known
here. A colored man had been bound
over to keep the peace for evident Ian
guage" toward a white Democrat. He
became fearful of lynching at the hands
Of other white Democrats, and sent word
to some Of his colored friends to keep
watch about the jail and prevent it. 4
number gathered and secreted themselves
at night near the jail, and soon after
some white horsemen came along with the
negro from the jail dragged between two
of the horsemsn by rope around his
neck. Those thus hurrying him off were
q mob of lynchers, and the undisguised
purpose was to murder him. His friends
attempted o rescue, and in the melee one
of the white lynchers was killed. A crowd
of citizens turned out next day, secured
the country around, and arrested fifteen
colored men.
The farce of a trial was gone through
with, and ten of the number were con-
victed of conspiracy to rescue the man
taken from Jail from the hands of the law.
This in the face Of theSact that he was
taken from the hands of would-be muir
derers by his friends, and friends to whom
he had appealed to prevent his being
taken from the jail where he was in the
hands of the law. Governor Chamber
lain, upon reviewing the case, pardoned
all of the men and gave his reasons at
length for his action. This is the fact not
generally known at the North. The rest
of the story has been printed. Hampton,
Immediately after his return from Wash
ington, with all his pledges to the Presi.
dent fresh on his lips, took up these cases
and, instead of facing the anger of the
eowardly lynchers and murderers and rec
ognizing the pardons of Governor Cham
berlain, he executed the sentences, and
had three hung and seven imprisoned for
life. Five of those tried had been made.

A NIurderous sea FIoMsr.

One of the exquisite wonders of the sea
is called the opelet, and is about as large
as the German aster, looking, indeed, very
much like one. Imagine a very large
double aster, with great many long
petals of light green color, glossy as
satin, and each tipped with rose color.
These lovely petals do not lie quietly in
their places, but wave about in the water,
while the opelet clings to a rock. How
innocent and lovely it looks on it's rocky
bed! Who would suspect that it would
eat anything grosser than dew or sunlight?
But those beautiful waving arms, as you
call them, have a use besides looking
pretty. They have to provide for large,
open mouth, which is hidden down deep
among them-so hidden that one can
scarcely find it. Well do they perform
their duty, for the instant foolish little
fish touches one of the rosy tips he is
struck with poison as fatal to him as
He Immediately becomes
numb, and in moment stops struggling,
and then the other arms wrap themselves
around him and he is drawn into the
huge greedy mouth, and is seen no more.
Then the lovely arms unelose and wave
again in the water Catholic Standard.

NEW REPUBLIeAN, WEDNESDAY. NAY 30 1877


Texas 1ne New Orleans Railways.
The people of New Orleans seem deter
mined to build at least one road to Texas.
But they have selected Marshall and JEFF
terson to run it TO, cities just this side, as
it we're, of the Arkansas line, and which
DO not lack much of not being in Texas
at ALL That is all right SO far as the Red
river trade and q connection with the
Southern Pacific goes.
This road, good as it is, does not strike
US as urgent or rather near as much so
as would road direct to the great and
wealthy Southern and Middle Texas.
What New Orleans wants Is the trade of
these sections. 1t amounts to many times
greater than the products of the Red river
country. If that city would complete the
road running from Houston to Orange,
on the Sabine, that would be all that is
necessary. She would then have connec-
ton with every railway. in Texas. This
would send the whole State to the Cres-
cent City direct. To try and get there by
going to Marshall is circuitous. At Mar
shall the people of South Texas would be
farther away from New Orleans than when
they started. Freights can never go there
as long as boats run on the Gulf, nor will
passengers.
New Orleans is nothing, however, TN
less she is visionary and impracticable.
She can beat the world on Mardi Gras
or some such humbug show, but when it
comes to commercial matters, such as
building railroads, she don't do it. We
will believe she is going to build the road
to Jefferson when we see it. If the Jeffer-
sonians want it built quick, they had bet
ter get up guided triumphal King Rex
car, spangled with brass, painted like
ginger cakes, and offer to ship it by the
first train. That will build it quicker
than anything else.-HouSton Age.
