We think that the power OF
money is, on the whole, overestima-
ted. The greatest things which
were done for the world have not
been accomplished by rich men, or
by subscription lists. but by men
generally of small pecuniary means.
The greatest thinkers, discoveries,
inventors aud artists have been men
of moderate wealth, many of them
little raised above the condition of
manual laborers in point of worldly
circum stances. And it will always
he so. Riches are oftener an imped-
iment than stimulus of action; and
in many cases they are quite as
much a misfortune as blessing
The youth who inherits wealth is
apt to have life male too easy for
him, and so grows stated with it be
cause he has nothing left to desire.
Having no special object to struggle
for, he finds time too heavy on his
bands; remains mentally aad moral
ly asleep; and his position in society
lis often no. higher than that of a
lpolypus over which the tide floats.

brought into court, which, ii disal-
lowed or overruled, could be taken to
the Supreme Court of the United
States by writ of error. It follows
from these premises, as urged by
Judge Elan, that the Congress nor
no department of the Government
had any jurisdiction over that ques-
ton except the judicial, and there
fore, the attempt to bring it into the
House was not only illegal and sub.
versive Of the rights Of the States,
but unfortunate aad pernicious, as it
might have the effect to stir up strife
aud sectional animosity without at
fordipg any effectual relief to the
prisoners, as We think he clearly dc.

In fact, the Judge fairly demolish-
ed lack Chandler's son.in-law, and
fully sustained his high reputation
as lawyer, a ready debater, and a
true representative of not only his
people, but justice aad constitutional
liberty. The judge has made. his
mark and it's one that reflect to the

referred to. A juror Immediately
proposed that we should recommend
the accused to the mercy of the
court. This proposition met the
prompt approval Of and sincere con-
currence of us all. The verdict
agreed upon was then written out in
full, and each juror signed his name
thereto, as evidence of assent.
THE VERDICT.
I, as foreman of the jury, Endorsed
on the bill of information received
from the court the following words:
New ORLEANS,
Feb. Z, 1873. {
"We find Thomas G. Anderson
Guilty,
And recommended by us to the mercy of
the COURT"
On examination of the bill Of in
formation, prior to endorsing thereon
our verdict, it was found to be drawn
a ,ainst j. Madison Wells, Thomas
C. Anderson, Gadane Casanave and
Louis M. Kenner, all members of the
returning board at the time the al
legged crime was committed, but
Thomas c. Anderson, having been
the only member before US on trial,
against him alone could the verdict
be rendered. b
RETURN OF THE JURY INTO COURT.
Probably one. half an hour elapsed
after we entered the jury room for
the last time before our proceedings
were completed. When summoned
by the judge we descended to the
court room, the verdict was deliv-
cred, examined by his honor, and
afterwards read aloud by the
clerk.
END OF THE TRIAL AND DISCHARGE OF
THE JURY.
Subsequently, each juror was in
structed to rise from his seat and as
his name was called was asked to
answer if the verdict as read was his.
Every member replied in the adirma-
tive. The jury was then immediate
ly discharged from further considers

Our poet's Corner Seleetetl
THEY SAY.

They say-ah, we'll, suppose they do.
But can they prove the story true?
Suspicion may arise from naught
But malice, envy, want of thought;
Why count yourself among the they"
Who whisper what they dare not say
They say-but why the tale rehearse,
And help TO make the matter worse {?
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue;
And is it not a nobler plan
To speak of all the best you can.
They ay-well, if it should even be so,
Why need you tell the tale Of woe?
win it the bitter wrong redress,
Or make one pang of sorrow lessp
Will 1t the erring one restore,
Henceforth to Ego and sin no more!"
They say-oh. pause and look within |!
See how thy heart inclines to sin!
Watch, lest in dark temptations hour
Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath its
power!
Pity the frail-weep DER their fall,
But speak of good, or not at all!

The Musings Of q Deaf Man.

Go among great folks for great
sinners.
1t is very good to be deaf when
the slanderer commences to talk.
Love drifts into hate more east
" than Indifference into animosity.
just one little drink" has made
all the drunkards in the world.
He is no true friend who has
nothing but compliments and praise
for you.
Many people find their only hap
piness in forcing themselves to be
unhappy.
Sharp and intelligent rascals are
more respected by the world than
virtuous fools.
Half of the pleasure of riches
consist in seeing others suffer the
pangs of poverty.
TO borrow pocket knife and
find it will cut is one of the pleasant
surprises Of life.
1t is not difficult to do good, for
the means are constantly clustering
about every mans lips and hands.
He is Indeed IA afflicted man
who can pass beautiful woman
without for ~ instant forgetting his
snrrows.
When religious society quar-
reis and splits, it stands to reason
that the devil gets one of the di,
visions.
He who eats mince pie in q res
taurant affords beautiful end touch,
| ing evidence of child-like faith in his
| fellow man.
If you would secure the favor Of
an intelligent man cut off your story
as soon as he smiles an understand
ing of its point.
Ths physical attributes Of man are
constantly at war with'his moral and
intellectual forces-notsbly in the
case of boils.
There is no sadder moment in 6
poor mans life than when he rakes
together the last few grains of DC
cent bag of smoking tobacco.
Tears at funeral are sometimes
a mere disguise for joy; just as
laughter and gayety amid social fes
tiyites may mask a broken heart
No man should he punished fol
his crimes who was trained to crime
| in his childhood. As we'll blame The
young jockey for his bow legs
Whatever may be the individual
fate of women, nature proclaims
aloud the one great object of theil
creation. Watch the little girls witt
their dolls.
A mans wedding day resolu
tons Of reform are never trustwor
thy, because for a time the wings o
his great happiness carry him higt
above all vicious influence. The hour
Of trial comes later.
