In 1871 Gen. Garfield wrote the
following significant letter to Judge
Paine, of Cleveland Ohio:
"Allow me to congratulate you on
your splendid charge to the jury at
the close of the Galentine case.
The whole country owes you debt
of gratitude for brushing away the
wicked absurdity which has lately
been palmed off on the country as
law on the subject of insanity. If
the thing had gone much further all
that a man would need to secure
immunity from murder would be to
tear his hair and rave a little and
then kill his man. Hope you will
print Your opinion in pamphlet form
and spread it broadcast to all the
Judges in the land" 1t is hoped
that the Judge who pres;des oyer
the trial of Garfeld's murderer has
Iii his possession a copy of Judge
Paines opinion to which Garfeld's
letter alludes, and that he will
boldly give the insanity dodge the
grand bounce. Guiteau needn't
tear his hair and rave a little" to
convince the people of this nation
that he's lunatic. He is a cold
blooded murderer and he must pull
hemp. - Morekouse Clarion,

A colored man by the name Ben
Robertson was recently taken from
the Jail at Jeanerett, Iberia parish,
and hung for the crime of chicken
stealing. The offense was not de-
serving of so severe a punishment.
We think that more appropriate
penalty, and one more in accordance
with the enormity of the crime,
would have been a good coat of tar
and chicken feathers.

DEATH OF GOVERNOR Witt.

Gov. j.. a. WIZ cleo at MS
residence. IN New Orleans, last Sum-
day morning. at half-past twelve
o'clock. The news of the death of
our young Governor cast a gloom
over the community, although 1t
was not unexpected, as he had
been in a dying condition for sew
eral weeks. Gov. Wilt was born
in the city of New Orleans, in 1843,
and was educated in the public
schools of the city. We reproduce
the following condensed account Of
his eventful career, from the col
umns of the City lem:
At the age of fifteen he left the
High School to take position in
commercial house on Carondelet
street. BY assiduous attention to
his ,dnties, he laid the foundation Of
a practical and thorough knowledge
of business, which has been one of
his strong characteristics, and of
great advantage to him in the dis
charge Of his duties as Governor of
the State of Louisians.
On account of the failure of the
firm, he became an employee in the
Office of the clerk OF the Second
District Court, which place he held
until the breaking out of the war OF
the rebellion, when he enlisted as q
private in the Confederate army, at
the age of eighteen.
At the close of the war ex-Cap-
tain Wilt returned to New Orleans,
and again engaged in commercial
life, but his ardent temper yearning
for political distinction, he soon had
a host of followers in the political
arena, and was speedily recognized
as one of the rising men of the
day.
In 1868, be, after haying served
as a member of the Parish and
State Central Committees Of the
Democratic party, was elected .
member of the House of Representa-
tives. III 1869 he was elected by the
Council as q school director, and
subsequently a member of the Board
of Aldermen, of which body he WAS
elected president.
IN the same year be was nomi-
mated for Mayor of this city. but
was not elected, owing to the Re-
publican Legislature, then in SEES
sion, passing an act postponing
the election; but in 1872 he Was
elected on the Democratic ticket,
and the taking of the possession OF
his Office ami the ousting of Mayer
Flanders is part of the history of
New Orleans.
In 1874 he was again elected to
the House of Representative. By .
coup detat the Democrats organized
and elected Wilt Speaker of the
House. Subsequent events ousted
him from this position, but as q
of the House he endeavored
to make it rebound to the benefit Of
the State and the city.
In 1876 he received the nomina.
ton for the Lieutenant Governors
position and was elected, and while
N this Office he was elected to the
Constitutional Convention in which
ne was elected president.
On October 7, 1879, he was nomi-
mated for Governor of the State of
Louisiana and elected on the follow
ng December by an overwhelming
As Governor of the State his
career has not been entirety suc-
'essful, but he has had the excuse
If failing health for his short-com-
ngs, and the warm sympathies Of
lis constituents have covered him
With q protecting shield. Brave,
earnest and enegetic, he met the
skeleton archer with heroic courage,

matter. They should give him a
chance to make fee occasionally.
Perhaps they will little later in

them, however, that delays are dan

the cup and the lip, and a bird in

District Court was conEsned in
Covington last Monday, with Judge
j. NJ. Thompson on the bench, and
District Attorney S. D. Ellis at his
post. The following named law
yers were in attendance: Ex-Asso-
ciate Justice r.. II. Mari, Hon. T.
G. W. Ellis, Col. James Lingan,
Judge William G. Duncan, and
Messrs. Wordsworth, Kemp. Russell
and Reed. The Grand Jury was
lmpane!ed, after which Judge Mari
paid a neat and eloquent tribute to
the memory of the late President
Jas. A. Garfield, and to the late
Governor Louis A. Wilt. and
closed by moving that the Court
adjourn for the day, out Of respect
to the memory of the dead Cover
nor. The motion was seconded by
Col. Lingan, who also delivered a
short eulogy on the life and public
services Of Gov. Witt, after which
the Count adjourned until Tuesday
morning at nine o'clock.
Court again convened on Tues
doy morning, and is still in session.
We will publish a synopsis of the
proceedings next week.
The New Orleans Daily States
this week publishes the city delin-
quent tax list. It covers nearly
seven full pages, in small type.
And yet a few papers throughout
the State are in favor of an extra
session of the Legislature. and give
as one of the principal reasons
therefor, that something ought to
be done to assist the city out of her
present financial difficulties. This
lengthy delinquent list clearly
shows that the trouble is entirely
with the people themselves. If the
property owners would simply step
forward and pay their taxes, ard
do their duty in assisting to sustain
the government under which they
live. and which protects them in all
their rights and privileges, instead
Of keeping their hands in their
pockets and bowling to the Cover
nor to protect them from the
clutches of the tax collector, there
would no longer be any difficulty
about the financial question, and
he wheels of government would
run along smoothly, just the same
rs they do in Covington, and other
irst-class communities.
