THE NEW ORLHANB DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY AUGUST 1879.

the argument In the great criminal case OF
the murderess, Webster, concluded that the
advocates OF the English bar were inferior to
our own, had several dinners with distin-
guished barristers, and long and delightful
interviews with his old friend 2. Benia-
min. the recognized head of the English bar
made several excursions to notable places
and. In fine, experienced all the enjoyment
and imbibed all the information of six
months tour Of q less active and industrious
traveller.
AS his brethren Of the bar and his friends
were imagining that our counsellor was just
entering upon his continental tour and had
barely had time to reach the foreign port OF
his destination. what was their surprise to
hear his eloquent voice echoing through one
OF our court-rooms as the leading counsel In
a very important case which had arisen since
his departure, with what effect may be seen
in the elaborate and able judgment of Judge
Mari, published Id the DEMOCRAT Of yester-
day, In favor Of the propositions contended
for by our travelling friend.
Thus relieved of the burden of this great
case the inexhaustible lawyer found himself
with more than half his vacation on his
hands, threatened with ennui, and perplexed
as to the disposition OF the Balance OF the said
vacation.
This perplexity has been relieved by the
grateful intelligence that the season for shoot
ing grosbeck has opened very favorably, for
our counselor Is keen sportsman.

a FAST COUNSELOR.

An eminent and leading member Of our bar,
native OF this State, who thirty years ago
delivered letters at our city postof1ice, recent
ly performed an exploit which is worthy of
notice as illustrative of his own energy and Of
the facility with which long journeys can be-
made and business promptly transacted In
these days Of steam and telegraph
Important professional business requiring
the presence Of this gentleman at Amster-
dam, Holland, he concluded his last argument
10 our courts On the last day Of May, took the
train for New York the next day, and on the
day after his arrival in New York was on one
of the great Atlantic steamers bound for the
old World. Safely reaching Amsterdam, his
business was satisfactorily transacted, and
alter lew days of observation Of the pec1-
liarltles OF that quaint and Clearly old city, he
hurried to Paris and spent three weeks in sight
seeing and in the enjoyment OF the innumerable
comforts, luxuries and pleasures OF that de-
hghtful city. Thence he hied to London. and
gave two weeks to cursory but not unproft-
able observation of the characteristics of
that gloomy and crowded. Babel, and to the
difficult and unsatisfactory digestion Of the
coarse and iil-prepared pbands of the bar

The DEMOCRATS correspondent at Wash
ington called attention yesterday to the de-
fenseless condition OF our Gulf coast In case
OF foreign war This Is, unfortunately, true
of the entire seaboard. With the exception OF
Fortress Monroe and the defenses Of New
York and Boston harbors, we have nothing
probably In the way Of fertilization that
could sustain determined attack Of the fleet
of even second-class naval power. Even
the defenses named are not provided with the
most improved appliances of warfare, and
would, as q consequence, be taken at disad-
vantage. The whole system OF coast defenses
needs thorough overhauling. The fortifica-
hons require to be modernized and adapted
to the heavy ordinance now required to sue
cessfully meet and repeI an attack, and the
Light ornaments should be replaced with en-
Eines OF war such as now bristle from the
forts along the entire European seacoast
Just now We would be In bad case in the
event OF war with a foreign nation.

There Is curious love suit in ElIenville
N. Y. George Blumenaer was In love with q
young lady, a daughter Of John Nicholas, OF
that town. He was well received by her, and
the pair took frequent rides together through
the nefghboriDg country. For some reason,
however, Miss Nicholas grew tired of her
George, and he was cast off for another beau.
George did not take the jlting kindly and
plotted revenge. He could not quarrel with
the young lady; could not whip her pa
could not bring suit for breach Of promise
against her. What, then, should he do? A
sudden idea struck him. and he sent in a bill
to old Nicholas for the use OF the carriage In
which he had taken out his daughter riding
The bill was not paid and suit was Immediate
ly begun by Blumenaer Tt was an exciting
case, the ablest lawyers Of Ellenvile being
engaged on both sides. After the most elo-
quent speeches ever heard In that little vii
lage the matter was submitted to the Judge
for decision. The judge was worried over
this novel point, but finally came to the con-
clusion that, as Blumenaer had enjoyed these
rides as much as Miss Nicholas, there was no
reason why she should pay for them. The
unhappy Blumenaer, however, is not salts
lied with the decision, and has appealed to q
higher court. He is still plotting vengeance
and proposes to begin suit for the value OF
the bouquets he presented his lady-love in the
days when he was the favored man.

the prevalence Of earthquakes in Central and
South America. Canals on large scale can
not be maintained in a country subject to
these commissions. The damage of single
earthquake would Involve an immense ex-
pendture for reparation.
In view Of this and pther difficulties in the
construction aud maintenance of continuous
canal across the isthrnus, the plan Of Tehuan-
tepec is believed to be far preferable to all the
others proposed It's cost would be many
millions less than the figures fixed by Lesseps
as the necessary capital of the company I'M
dertakiDg the other transit, and several
hundred miles of ocean navigation would be
saved s. in the voyage between our Atlantic and

VALUABLE MACHINERY.

The Times Is terribly exercised by the DEM
ocRAT's persistence In maintaining the neces-
sity Of preserving the political organization
which has rescued this State from the yul-
| lures that have SO long battened on it's life
blood.
1t finds great relief In denouncIng the
achievers Of this happy result as machine
politicians.
Its wrath against such machinery is as fiery
as that of the old coach drivers OF England
against steam engines. 55M-
It by such innovations that It's old patrons
and associates are to be thrown out of en-
ployment and the bread taken from their
mouths.
The idea Of reducing the expenses of the
State and city governments to little over one
fourth of what they were under the admins
tration OF its friends, OF tightening State
taxation from twenty-one mills to six mills,
is vastly irritating to the feelings Of the Times
And that this should be done by these same
machine politicians" who have cut down all
official emoluments and Topped off all per-
quisites and contingencies. SO as to place
officeholders on plane with the lowest paid
employees in our city and State, is SO grave a
departure from its Ideal craftsmanship that
the Times may be excused for drawing SO
largely upon its vocabulary Of abuse for fit
terms OF denunciation thereof
We commend to it the exercise Of more
patience and hopefulness 1t might be edited
and encouraged therein by the example Of
this people, who bore so long and so heriocaIIy
the burdens and expressions Of the machinery
of which it's friends were the inventors and
beneficiaries.
For the ten years that the Times friends
collected and disbursed four millions annu-
ally OF the peoples substance, this people
exercised a fortitude and patience which are
unparalleled In the history of free common
wealth. 1t is not likely that they will now
sympathize in the gloomy feelings of the
Times at the reduction Of the amount collect
ed from them-from four to one million dol
lars-or that those who have been prominent
in effecting this reduction will suffer In the
public esteem by the abuse OF that atrabiIious
and disconnected sheet

Although a great deal OF noise Is being
made over the candidates for Governor In
Maine, the real fight is over the Legislature.
This will not only elect United States Sena-
tor to succeed Uncle Hannibal HamIin, but
will also choose Governor. Few well in
formed politicians Of either side believe that
either OF the candidates will receive ma
iority Of the popular vote. The combined OPP
position to the Republicans have it in their
power to elect a majority Of the Legislature,
as they did last year, and will probably do it,

The war between Tammany and the State
government Of New York still goes on. Yes
terday Gen. Badly Smith, we'll known poll
tician of that city and president of the police
board, was removed from office by the Gov
ernor on the application of Mayor Cooper.
This removal is attributed to Tilden, who, it
Is asserted, became angry with Smith for OPP
posing him and his measures. This Is unfor-
tunate, as 1t widens the breach In the Demo-
cratic party in New York and endangers sue
cess in a State that is reliably Democratic il

four Panama dispatches are to be believed
the hostile powers on the Pacific are doing a
great deal Of fighting just now without much
loss OF life. The Peruvian fleet appears to
nave recovered It's nerve, and Is now dashing
into CHILEAN waters, while the Chilians are
blockading and bombarding Peruvian ports.
Several little sea fights have occurred or late
of no especial importance. 1t Is evident that
the war Is to be solely naval one. The three
armies In the field In the desert Of Atacuma
are apparently stuck there, unable either to
advance or retreat.

county, Ohio, put colored man on the legis-

ately followed BY symptoms Of disgust In the
party After various conferences, Williams,
the colored nominee, has concluded to remain
on the ticket, and is backed in this determine
ton by his colored friends. 1t Is admitted
that he will be badly beaten, as the white Re
publicans will scratch him. The colored
voter will learn for just how much he is ap-
preciated in Cincinnati.

Prince Bismarck, in recent interview with
Congressman Kelley, OF Pennsylvania. ex-
pressed the opinion that Germany had acted
too hastily in demonetizing silver. Finance
was not his speciality, and he had turned the
matter over to Herr Delbruck, who had an in
ternational reputation In such matters, and it
was at his suggestion that silver was de
monettzed This was mistake and as soon
as it was discovered the government had
stopped its sale OF silver. Bismarck ez-

The death-rate Of children In Chicago dur
Ing the summer has been SO large as to great
~ alarm the people OF that city. The NOR
tuary list showed sudden jump of 100 per
cent in one week, two-thirds Of the deaths
being OF children under five years Of age and
most OF these from cholera infantum. The
Chicago Times at first attributed this high
death-rate to the sewers of the city. 1t now
thinks, however, that unhealthy milk has
fully as much to do with it as filthy sewers
An investigation has shown that most of the
milk sold in Chicago is dangerous to drink,
obtained from swill fed and diseased cows and
diluted with water from wells, into which the
sewerage OF the city leaks; in fine, that most
of the Chicago milk Is dangerous poison,
carrying with it typhoid fever and cholera

Finding that the style of the Okolona
Southern States paid, thanks to the contribu-
tons and subscriptions of Northern Radicals,
a fellow out In Lemars, Iowa, has started a
newspaper of the same style and character,

the question. He Is radically Radical, pro-
poses to abolish the States and convert them
into provinces or department Of grand CEN
tralized government, and much more

ticles In this paper. the Lemars Sentinel

States, wild, absurd, bombastic and INGRAM

ally but finally concluded that its utterances
were sarcasm ut Is" says the Chicago T.ib-
ame, "the Northern extremists position
The claims Of the Lemars Sentinel are no
more extreme on the one hand than those Of
the OkoIona Southern Suites, on the other
side of the house," Exactly These two Jour
nails are birds OF q feather, both well aware
that eccentricity Is always more or less pro-
fitable, and that a man or q journal which
will make q sight Of itself like the Count
Joannes, Of dramatic, and George Francis
Train, OF psychologist, fame, are sure Of some
patronage. The Chicago Tribune and It's
brethren are still sorely troubled, however, to
explain the difference between these two
howlers, and how the bombastie stuff of the
one is mere sarcasm and the slush of the
other the outspoken promptngs of the heart

sells the Georgians, however, not to use vio-

The proposition to detail two naval officers
for special service in yellow fever districts
calls from Secretary Thompson the declara-
ton that he knows Of no law that requires
him to execute officers unless they have been
duly tried, condemned and sentenced. mas
much as the ''yellow fever district" can get
along as well without the officers as with
them, and would have to doctor and nurse
them, possibly, If they went into it, no one
thereabouts will doubt the wisdom OF the Sec
rotary In refusing to order the officers away
from their appropriate field of duty. One Of
the things that the DEMOCRAT most strongly
condemned last year was the volunteering of
unacclimated persons to go where the fever
prevailed, for they become a charge upon,
rather than help to, the people in nine cases
out Of ten. Memphis has very properly
warned all such persons away from her limits
this year, and the warning should be needed.
Although their intentions are the best in the
world, yet they can be practically OF no SER
vice, and would do far more harm than good.
