No District Court.

From direct information from
Judge Blackman we learn there will
be no District Court. Witnesses and
jurors summoned to be present next
Monday can save themselves the
trouble of coming. 1t was under
stood that the Judge was to have
officially informed the proper officers
as to their course, and we think he
has been somewhat negligent in not
doing SO, as the sheriff has bnt one
alternative unless directly instructed
by his Honor.

The legislation of the Police Jury
at its sitting this week is most effec-
tive and well timed, and we doubt
not will meet the hearty appreciation
of the taxpayers of the parish. Our
Jury have had to labor under many
difficulties, and what they did was
we'll considered before adoption. Ii
some are dissatisfied, ii is no more
than could be expected, but they
should bear in mind that while their
interests may not have been as fully
appreciated by the Police Jury as
self interest makes it to them selves,
still all that have claims against the
parish are placed exactly upon the
same footing, and they have no good
ground for complaint. Taken alto
gether their ordinances are for the
best, and we feel safe in saying they
will meet the approval of all who
desire to see the best interests of the
parish served.

At Amite City, on the night of
the 10Th ult., a mob numbering not
less than fifty, called on Sheriff F. P.
Mix and demanded the keys of the
jail. After they were obtained, the
mob took six negroes, who were con-
fined in the Jail, about half mile
from the town, and hung four and
liberated two of them. Early the
next morning when the four bodies
we're found, they were lying close to-

If arrest and arraignment in a court could
work the change which has come over Denis
Kearney, 1t is difficult to say what change
NAV not follow the conviction which took
place Yesterday and the incarceration which
ought to follow it, But little while ago. and
he was roaring like lion; now he roars as
gently as any nightingale. He made a speech
Oh Sunday afternoon at the Sand Lots, In
which be was the sucking dove for sweetness
He assured his hearers that the Citizens Pro-
tective Union had been organized for the
good of the working classes and not with any
intention to do them injury; and that if DIFF
ferent idea had spread abroad it was the work
of a few wicked men.
This was the truth, but Kearney's
audiences are not accustomed to the
truth, and are not accustomed to hear
ing him describe himself, uDintentiOnally
enough, as n wicked man. They received his
"novel" speech, we are told, without much
demonstration. KallOch, Kearney's reverend
partner in the billingsgate and sedtion bust
ness, followed his lead In the evening address
at his so-called Temple. and their simuta-
neous moderation is attributed to shange in
public feeling caused by the Citizens Union.

policy complete and victorious. They have
seen what fiImneSs and a little bodness will
accomplish let them be bold and firm to the
end. With this profane and lawless scOundrel
once sent to jail, and the decency of San Fran
CISCO asserting itself as it should have asserted
itself long ago, the future of that distressed
city will look far brighter.
Later advices report an important confer
ence between Mayor Kalloch, representing the
so-caled workngmen, aud the leaders of the
respectable classes of the community. The ma
ture of the conclusion reached is not disclosed,
except in the statement that there was a good
feeling on both sides, and hope IS now enter
tanned that order. quiet and prosperity will
return to the city. If this means a compro-
mise with Kearney and his kind, which 1T seems
to mean, it is difficult to believe that the Citi
zens' party have acted wisely. There was
evidently panic in the Sand Lots
host, and it was in the power of the citizens
by firm course to have crushed out this law

RUNAWAY LETTER WRITERS.

Another repentant and agonized forger has alb
seconded. this time from Richmond. Va.-Dr
Luther X. Dickinson. of The Planter and Farmer
magazine. He went on swimmingly for some time
until the death Of one Of the persons whose names he
had fraudulently written on the back OF his notes
brought matters to a crisis There is nothing pecu
liar about this latest instance OF a crime which,
foolish and desperate Is has become altogether
too common. To keep up the traditional sameneSs
Of the circumstances. Dr. Dickinson left behind him
letter full OF pcuitence and promises Ilo is so
sorry that he did it, lie is SO determined to work
hard aud earn money enough to pay every
dollar of the sum out OF which he swndled those
who discounted his bogus notes. Ii they lind much
consolation IN this fugiivys promises, their conf
dence must be of kind at aud touching.
When. after having packed his trunks, DR.. DicSn-
SON sat down TO write his farewell epstc. his eyes,
no doubt were full OF tears, as ne "solemuly
declared his purpose to devote the balance
of his life 70 tho payment of his every indcbcdness'
This was all very well but his victims would
much rather have 10 per cent OF the Indebtedness
cash down. This would lend, at least, faint prob
ability Of fu!flmcut 10 tho Doctors promises. We
haven't much faith 10 the chances of such rostltu-
ton. All the runaways talk largely Of the money
which they mean to make but who ever hears of
their makingiti OF tho pronptncss with which,
when able, they Will pay up; INT VINO ever hcafs
Of their paying1 Their protestations only furnish
additional material for paving certain hot place.
Aud there Is a moral in this which the world ought
to remember. All these detanlters. forgers aud
thieves OF good standing in business circles promise
themselves. when They begin the bad work. to
make all right with their first profits-to replace
the stolen stock. TO take up the forged paper.
to restore the money of widows and or
phans with which they have been intrusted. They
are weak enough To steal, and then they assure
themselves that with the first turn Of good fortune
they will become suddenly honest. They hug this
dousion and that other of not being found out,
until the inevitable explosion comes. and they dnd
themselves In Jail. or dshOnored and homeless and
freudless Migrants.
Upon the whole we have rather the greater re-
spect for the defaulter who suddenly disappears
without leaving any letter full of agony and blotted
with bis tears behind him. Heaven forbid that we
should discourage those who arc seriously bent
upon making restitution Our point is that the less
they talk about II the better. Let them go away
and acquire money and send it to their victims il
they can; but let them not raise false hopes in the
bosoms Of the swindled. or make n magnificent pre-
fence Of virtue just when the world has discovered
that their stock of it Is enthusiastically small

has been prepared. which Mr.. Walton says
will b. supplied on application Tor It. OF this
key We have no copy, but comparison OF
the statistical tables accompanying the
special report with those appended to
the general report, furnishes the neces-
sary clew One town, designated as
C, stands in marked prominence to all the
others. On every test except one, that Oh
arithmetic. its percentages are not only the
highest, but much the highest, averaging no
less than per cent more IN the grammar
grades, and 10 per cent in the primaries. eV-
IDENTIFY stands for Quincy, and its high ave-
rage percentages, no less that 81 IN pri-
mary and 77.2 in grammar tests, tell the
story of Superintendent PaIkeSs work. The
average composition of that town, fac-slm-
lie of which is given, leaves nothing to be
desired. When the time shall come-1ar
enough off now-that the ordinary grad
nate of our common schools can express HIM
self on paper as simply and leglbly as the
writer of this specimen has here done, we
may well rest satisfied.
Next to Quincy III the grade of grammar
school percentages comes the town designated
bv the letter T, which we take to be Brook
line. This town and Milton, as we have al
ready stated, are two of the most liberal
towns az respects school expenditures IN Mas
sachusetts. Yet, while Brookline Is second,
Milton Is twelfth in the list. Hyde Park Is
third as respects It's grammar schools ana
ninth as respects its primaries. We have not
space. however, to follow up the analysis, and
whoever pleases can do it for himself But it
ia to the teachers in our common schools
that this report is especially interesting and
valuable. 1t enables them to measure
their own work exactly with that of others OF
every grade of excellence or badness. They
can give the same tests to their pupils, and,
comparing the results with the fac-smiles
given here, see just where they stand. Too
wide circulation cannot, therefore, be given
TO this document. II should be put in the
hands of every teacher, so that the results
commonly reached in other States can every
where be brought into direct comparison with
this hard, realistic showing from Massachu-
SETS Such comparison is now for the first
time really possible, and that it will be very
generally made admits of little doubt
