A Trial 1['lia For Murder that Ended with
'ajas the Marriage Service, sctiA l.ss. =

A greater transition from stress of men
tai anxiety and possible woe to buoyant
life, and happiness can hardly be imagin-
ed than was recently presented in a Cali
fOrnia court room. It was. a case of MUIR
der, but, instead of having to pronounce
the death sentence, the Judge performed
the much more agreeable duty Of reading
the marriage service and joining the
prisoner + il wedlock. It happened in
this wise: Joachim Hanks, captain of a
fine schooner lying at anchor in. the San
Joaquin River, had nights drinking
bout in the neighboring town Of Antioch.
The next morning, George Mitchell, "a
whisky drinking meier do-well, was found
tumbled off the wharf in the mud, .deads
Suspicion fastened upon. Hanks asy his
murdeter, and he was Captured by3oficer.
after an exciting boat race towards the
schooner, which the captain sought for
through the trial sat Mary Raymond "a,
haEdsonies elegant dressed young .ywo--5
man, who watched with painful anxiety
every development. It,soon became ap-
parent to the courtroom aud -ence that
Mary Raymoht had "a; more then com
mon stake in the fate of captain Hanks,
who, by the way, now that he was sober
and Well dressed, was as fine and gallant
a fellow to look upon as you often see.
The general atmosphere of sympathy
finally became so int ense that the Judge.
in making his charge, considered it his
duty to caution the jury against allowing
it to influence their verdict. The ex.
hibition of devotion and afection, be 1T al e
lowed twas very touching and Beautiful,
but neither he nor they lie remarked,
with cruel judicial logic, had any more
todd with theawpes Of these Distressed
lovers than they had with the loves Of
Abelard and Heloise. Luckily. the
evidence was not conclusive, and the
jury, only too glad not to ruthlesslY sever
I" two hearts that beat as one,aS speedily
returned aYerdict of s notr guilty." and
then. SO quickly AS to take the breath
away from the woman spectators Of the
trial, the blissful couple stood up in the
presence Of the Judge and were made
man and wife. 81 l,st,s5

means possible arrive at point where it would be
safe 10 trust them. That the leaders mean revo
luton there is but little doubt; and part of their
pan shows itself in their anxiety to furnish arms

that is, that history no where has the record of

Secretary Sherman is not back ard in
facing the investigating committee. No
sooner was the committee announced than
he prepared letter to be placed befofe it,
10 which he fearlessly states his opinion
of the conspiracy against the President.
He says that that part of the preamble of
the Potter resolution which refers to Louis
lana contains three propositions First,
that there was conspiracy among the
Republican voters of East and West Fell
ciana Parishes not to 60 to the polls
Secondly, that the election in those parish
e. was fair and free. aud that the Super
visors of Registration. Anderson and Web
Der. deliberately made false reports in re-
gard TO it; thirdly, that the Returning
Board, accepting the false statements of
Anderson and Weber, illegally threw
out the votes OF those parishes. Every
one OF these propositions Secretary Sher-
man pronounces false and he declares
his ability to prove their falsity, and SAYS
that the men who drew the preamble
knew they were false. The fact that
there were murders and outrages In both
Of the Felicians Parishes. Mr.. Sherman
says. has never been seriously denied
The evidence of them, and of the fact tina,
they were so numerous and of such Z

The latest estimate OF the efft CT of the
Democratic redstricting scheme in Ohio
puts down six districts AS certainly Repub'
lican; seven as certainly Democratic, and
seven as doubtful. OF the latter, two
were Republican in 1876. and five were
Democratic. Each of the doubtful dis
tricts gave less than thousand majority
to the party which carried it in 1876. This
shows that hard work by the Repub'
licans will possibly defeat the worst result
Of the Democratic gerrymandering, after
all.
