Judgment reversed.

Pat Ford and John Murphy
were hung in New Orleans. Oh the
18th inst, for the murder of Cap
Murphy. During the night before
the hanging they poisoned them
selves with helladonna. Restora-
tives were administered, which par
TALLY revived them, but they never
fully regained consciousness. and
were in comatose condition when
executed. They had TO be carried
to the fatal platform, where che
nooses were adjusted about their
necks, as they reclined in sitting
position against the prison wall.
At 1852 P. NJ. the trap was sprung.
and tho bodies of the unfortunate
men dangled in the air. Ford hung

A TRAGEDY IN MrssIssrppL-At a
magistrates trial in the Courthouse
ut Carrollton, Miss. held last We'd
nesday before Mayor Elan, in con-
nection WITH recent difficulty
between few negroes and j. NJ.
Liddell, Jr., young lawyer of the
town, there were abont twenty col;
ored mon present. The trial had
proceeded but little while when
fifty white men. well mounted, each
carrying a Winchester rife, rode
into the town at gallop. surround
.dt,e Courthouse and opened fire
on the negroes, instantly killing ten
and fatally wounling three others.
With the exception of a few who
escaped through the windows, all
were more or less wounded, some
of them seriously. Gov. Lowry
will doubtless use every means to
discover and punish the perpetra-
tors Of this terrible outrage.

IMPORTANT DECISION,

In the State Supreme Court, last
Monday. Associate Justice Fenner
rendered the following decision, in
favor of Sheriff Cook and the Police
Jury OF this parish:
1861. w. B. Cook, c. leotor, and
Police Jury OF St. Tammany parish.
vs.. Theodore Dendinger.-Appeal
from st. Tammant.
Parishes are invested with the
power to tax persons and property
in incorporated towns. unless such
power is Withdrawn by Legislative
authority.
No legislative act has deprived
the parish Of ST. Tammany Of the
power to levy such taxation in the
town OF jacksonville. The Act No
40 of 1880, comforting upon incor.
porated towns the power Of amend.
ing their charters, only conferred
upon them the power to regulate
their internal organization and the
modes and agencies by which the
powers and privileges conferred
upon them 10y law might be exer.
cised. It did not authorize them,
by such amendments, to extend
their powers and privileges. or te
alter or destroy the existing author
ity of the State or parish over theil
inhabitants.
Hence the provision of tht
amended charter of jacksonville
adopted under that act, prohibit
ing the imposition of parish tn,
or license, is ultra uires. or null ant
void.
Indictment reversed.

The Police Jury will meet next
Tuesday.
District Court, jury term, will
convene next Monday.

improvement of the Bogue Falls.
are being ably seconded by that in
fluential and sterling journal, the
N. o. Bee, which contained an
able editorial on the subject last
week, and the other city papers
have called attention to the MATES.
We have also received a long letter
from Congressman Irion, which we
will publish next week, pledging
himself to DO all in his power to
secure the desired appropriation
Ii our citizens would come to the
rescue and send forward petition,
it would doubtless result in much
good.
