YOUTHFUL THIEVES.
Two Of Them Run Into Pound i" for
Grand Larceny.


On the twenty-thrd Of April the residence
of Mr.. Staltz, corner of General Taylor and
Laurel streets, was entered and robbed Of
bank box containing lot of iewelry. On the
eighteenth Of June boy named Henry Ieep,
aged thirteen years, who was daily at the
house, conceived the idea Of going under the
house to look for eggs, an idea which he never
had, for he returned in few minutes, bring
ing out tbe box that had been stolen on the
twenty-third Of April, which contained only
q few Of the articles that were in 1t at the
time.
was again entered and three trade and one
Mexican dollars stolen. The desk in the
room was broken open and the money taken
theTefrom. AS Ieep was seen about the
house q little before the robbery, Special
Michael Immediately hunted him up and ar
Testgi fiu. His possession was found the
missing money.
Oaicer Michael hearing that white boy
named VIM. Roy was frequently in company
with Ieep, yesterday morning procured a
search warrant and proceeded tOthe residence
Of Mrs. Roy, on AnnunCation street, between
Philip and S0rapuru, where VIM. Roy was
found. On proceeding to search the room
Roy, seeing that the officers would certainly
discover the stolen property, took from over
the frame Of the window two gold watches, q
silver watch q hair chain and silver chain
with charms.
On proceeding up to the station Roy In
formed the officers that one Of the watches,
a gold one was concealed under the plank
walk on Laurel street, between General Tay-
Or and AusterlitZ, and on being brought to
the spot, he reached under the plank and pro-
duced gold watch and key. He was locked
up, charged with entering in the day time,
and grand larceny. Zeep was also locked up,
charged with the same and also petty larceny

them to the hotel This compliment they
paid Of their own volitiOn through the gentle

PACIFIC R. R. BONDS.
THE DECIsTON CONFIRMED BY THE
STATE SUPREME COURT.

The following is the text of the reasons
given by Judge Rogers, Of the Fifth District
Court In refusing the mandamus prayed for
in the case of the State OK relatione, New Or
leans Pacific Railroad VS.. Francis 7. Nichols,
Governor, ct ais, decided several weeks ago,
and which decision, the telegraph informs us,
has been confirmed by the Supreme Court
sitting at Monroe:
REASONS.
| have great respect for the opinion Of the
gentlemen who have furnished the Pacific
Railway Company with their opinion In re-
gard to the claims contained in mortgage
submitted to the Governor In compliance
with the act Of the Legislature, but it seems
to mo that Mr.. Finney at the same time
suggests that there Is no necessity for the
insertion Of the clauses to which objection
has been made, for the reason that the diff
culties which courts in many States have
found In selling or disposing Of the as
sets OF corporations or railroad com
panies cannot be expected in Louis
lana, where the Code of Practice and
the laws provide remedies which 1t is
supposed that this clause in the act will sup
ply, and while it may affect the negotiability
Of the bonds, it Is scarcely question which
can be considered by court. The Governor
objects to the signing Of these bonds, be-
cause it is provided that upon the failure Of
the company to pay the coupons for six
months, the whole debt to become exiglble
and due, whereas the act shows that the
bonds should run for forty years adm should
not be due for forty years. While it is true that
possibly the insertion Of this clause may not
have an injurious effect, still at the same
time it occurs to me that the Governors
duties in the premises are something
more than ministerial, and | am not prepared
to say that court Of justice should interfere
with that discretion of the Governor to per-
form an act to do which he must necessarily
depart from the words Of the statute. | know
Of no authority in regard to this matter, par
ticularly upon this matter, excepting that
authority which belongs to the levyiUg and
compelling Of municipal authorities or cOrpO-
ratiOns to levy taxes, and the courts have
held In these words: can authority to WELD
1t cannot be concluded by doubtful inference
from other power or powers, nor deduCed
from any considerations Of convenience or
advantage. Nothing short of the express
words, or necessary implication, will answer
the purpose. It should never be exercised
where right Is doubtful" There Is consid-
cradle doubt in my mind In regard to this
matter and am not prepared to say that the
court should interfere with the discretion Of
the Governor, ordering him to sign those
bonds.
