THE GRAND JURY AND THE
GAMBLERS.

The grand jury, it seems, is investi-
eating Mayor Shakspeare's method of
dealing with the gambling establish
ments of the city. As previous grand
juries never bothered themselves
about gambling houses, although they
knew that the existence ofsuch houses
was Il violation of law, we confess we
feel considerable interest in the pro-
ceedings of the present grand jury in
this matter. OF course, we do not
know what the purpose of the grand
jury is. The investigation evidently
means something, but we probably
shall have to wait until a report is
made before we know whether the
grand jury condemns or sustains the
mayor in the policy he has adopted
with respect to the gamblers. 1t is
stated, on reliable authority, that
when Mayor Shakespeare came into
Office there were between seventy and
eighty gambling establishments in the
city. Minors were allowed to gamble
and strangers were enticed into bunko
dens and boldly robbed. The police
gave no protection to the public. Al
though all the gambling houses and
their proprietors were known, the
houses were not interfered with, and
no indictments were found against
their proprietors. The authorities
made no effort to enforce the law
against gambling.
What was the reason of this apathy
this indifference Were the author
tiles powerless to enforce law We
think not. There are reasons for sus-
pecting that it cost the proprietor of

Terrebonne Times A very nlystari-
ous affair occurred last week on the
Point Farm IN this parish, owned BY
Mr. J. P. yiguerie, Phillip McGraw and
Asa Clinton, two colored men, were
wrestling by standing back to back and
trying which could throw the other
over his head quite a crowd was gath
cred around witnessing the trial Of
strength, when Asa Clinton succeeded
in throwing McGraw over his head;
McGraw, on striking the ground, seem
ed stunned and did not get up, and it
was seen that he was badly injured.
Some time elapsed before he came to
enough to speak, when he did he said
some one had struck him across the
back with stick, as Clinton threw him
over his head. He was taken to his
house and the doctor sent for, but died
of his injuries the next day. No in-
quest was held and no examination of
the case had, notwithstanding numer-
Gus witnesses say that McGraw was
struck by some one across the small of
the back with a loaded stick, and that
it was this which caused his death. It
was in the dusk of the evening when
the occurrence took place, still if the
proper action is taken by the authori-
ties, we are satisfied the truth will come
out. In the absence Of the Coroner it
is the duty of the Justice of the Peace
of the ward to act as such. 1t is now
too late, owing to the decomposition of
the body which has probably taken
place, to hold post mortem examina-
tion; but some steps can, and ought to
be taken, to ferret out the criminal in
this affair.

The amount of interest on the public

over $11, 100000, of which amount about
$7,5OO,OOO ia on account Of the per cent
loan. 1t has been customary to antici-
pate the payment Of January interest,
and the action of Secretary FOlger in de-
parting from this custom has caused
considerable complaint on the part of
the holders of small amounts of bonds,
whose convenience would have been ma
terially promoted at this season of the
year by following the usual custom. One
year ago the January interest on the 8
per cent loan amounted to over $6,0O0,-

and the rate of interest of this loan the
annual interest is reduced to $4,000.

Ex-VICE PRESIDENT COLFAx publishes
in the Chicago Advance for Dec. %, a
vigorous article on the Mormon question.
In this he shows that the present atti-
tude of the MOrmOns is one of defiance
to the Nation, and offers some sugges-
tions as to how this defiance should be
met. He would have juries impaneled
from law-abiding citizens only; would
not allow the mOrmOns of Utah to vote
their submissive harems by wholesale
in favor Of polygamy; would restore the
right Of dover, which has been abolish
ed by the Utah Legislature; would have
Utah governed by a board Of commits
sioners, under the supervision of Con-
gress,as is the District OfC Columbia; would
not extend the land, patent, or natural
izatiOn laws topolygamists; and would
make open living in polygamy a crime
to be punished, rather than the mere
ceremony of marriage. Mr.. Colfax be-
lieves the time for action has come, and
he believes in heroic treatment. His
suggestions are of a character to meet
with ready response and hearty appro-
val. He evidently has studied the quss-
tion to some purpose.
