On Monday next tho November term
Of the District Court for this parish will
begin. This being only civil term and
few new cases having been filed since
the last session of the court, it is not
probable that much business will be
transacted. All the important criminal
cases on the docket, excepting those
arising since October, have already been
assigned for trial in February, when the
next jury term occurs, but in the minor
cases the accused parties may elect to
waive the right Of trial by jury and have
their matters disposed Of this month.
Judge Cheevers is at home, ready for
business, and is evidently enjoying
better health than for long time here
tofore, while Distict Attorney Earhart
will be on hand to represent the State
and parish with the faithfalpess and
efficiency that have ever characterized
his discharge Of the important duties Of
hi office. All the other members of our
bar will be here during the term, pre-
pared to represent the interests of their
clients with customary ability and zeal.

EXTRA SESSION.

The New Orleans papers report that
Gov. McEnery has finally determined
that the public interests require an
extra session Of the General Assembly,
and that proclamation will At once be
issued converting that body in special
session for the TERM Of twenty days,
beginning OH the first Monday of,No-
vember.
The Governor has just returned from
visit to Baton Bouge, whittier he went
to consult with the State-House Com
missioners and ascertain if that building
would be in sufficiently advanced
state of repair to accommodate the
General Assembly and State officers at
the date fixed upon for tho extra ses-
sion. It having been decided that the
necessary preparations can not be made
ia the short time intervening, the Gov
ernor will convoke the Assembly ut New
Orleans.
In an interview with reporter Of the
New Orleans Times, Gov. McEnery is
said to have assigned the following as
the purposes for which the General
Assembly will be called together: "For
the passage of revenue and license laws,
charter for New Orleans, appropriation
and printing bills, the confirmation Of
appointments, and transfer Of unappro.
pirate balances in the treasury"
Until very recently it was the prevail.
ing impression that the Governor wa
opposed to calling m extra session I'M
less it could be demonstrated that on
absolute necessity therefor existed. II
is now stated that the main considers
ton which decided him to issue the cal
was the ambiguity Of the revenue Law
which renders it uncertain whether tn
State can recover back taxes upon pro
perty seized and sold for current taxes
In New Orleans alone the back taxel
due the State exceed 1900, 900, ant
hence the question involving their exi
gibility must be regarded IS one 0
serious magnitude.
The Governor is Of the opinion tina
the General Assembly can accomplish
in the space Of twenty days, all tn
legislation indicated, if = joint resolutio,
shall be adopted for taking up the I'm
finished business of tho last session .
the point where it stood at adjournment
He further believes that the saving t.
the State by the laws which will b
passed will far exceed tho cost of tn
special session.
While the CHIEF has been in the mai
. passive though interested observer q
the discussion Of tho extra session quee
ton which has been maintained 70
some time by number Of the newsps
pers of the State, we were inclined {
side with those who opposed the measar,
1t can not be denied, however, tina
some Of the reasons assigned for til
convocation Of our lawmakers are yer
wrighty and urgent; and it only n
mains for US to congratulate the ext1
session advocates upon thor success an
> to express tho hope that the anticip.
lions Of public benefit to be derive
will be most amply realized.

also contended that, Notwithstanding
the absence of any statute, at common
law jurors were the judges of the law,
and to claim that they were not was
a mere idle abstraction, because it
was beyond the power of the court to
reverse any verdict the jury might
render, and that the court should so
tell them. The whole subject Of the
power OF the jury over the fact was
fully discussed as well as ether ques-
tions.

A Cool Detective.

Asa rule, highwaymen in the mining States
seldom operate upon a stage coach with ~.
S. NJ" on it. They know that these initials
stand for the United States mail, and are a
pledge that the whole power of the govern
ment will be used to capture them.
The detectives in the government service
are quiet men, courteous in manner and gen
tie in speech Mr.. Hayes tells, in his book
on New Colorado" of one whom he met
who wore gold spectacles, and looked like n
German professor. Yet this man alone took
two mail-robbers from the north to Texas
At one place their friends planned a rescue.
He quietly informed his prisoners that, while
their friends could undoubtedly kill him, they
might be sure that the first motion would
send both of them into eternity. Not man
in the crowd moved afinger.
On one occasion, celebrated detective
was on the stage which was attacked by two
masked men. The first he knew was that
two reyolvers were thrust in the coach's Win
doys, with the command Glands up, gentle
men y
The highwaymen had 'the drop" on the
passengers, which, in their vocabulary, meant
the certainty of being able to kill before be-
ing harmed themselves. To his disgust, the
detective was compelled to give up his watch
and money.
AS the robbers left he put his hand down
in the "boot," and TO his delight it touched n
carbine Asking the driver to go on a little
farther and than stop and wait for him, went
back alone.
The two men, unsuspicious of danger were
"divvying up" the spoils in the middle of the
road This was just what the detective had
calculated on.
"Now, you scoundrels, it's my turn" he
shouted covering them with the repeating
carbine, "Throw up your hands, or I'll
shoot"
The robbers, at his command, stepped one
side, holding up their hands, while he picked
up heirrevolvers. twas not many minutes
before the astonshed passengers saw the two
highwaymen walking meekly down the road
with the cool detective following. They were
taken in the coach and finally lodged in Jail.
The hero was Gen. Charles Adams, who
subsequently went alone among the Utes and
secured the release of the women captives
from the White River Agency.
