II -
CRIMINAL EXPENSES.

The Senate has passed n bill 10 so
amend the constitution rs to extend
tho criminal jurisdiction Of justices of
the peace in this State. We are not
advised as to the leading provisions of
the bill, but the main proposition is a
good one. Many frivolous eases are
reported TO the Grand Jury OK brought
before the court which might with
propriety and with equal justice to
prosecutor and prosecuted he isposed
of at tritling expense, OK none at all,
by some Inferior tribunal. The pre-
sent mode OF Investigating and trying
such oflenses, proven or alleged, is
not only aggravatipg, but is likewise
expensive to the parish. Take this
city, for example, where many minor
attractions of the law occur. The
offenders are tried before the City
Recorder, who is also a Justice OF the
peace, and the case is speedily and
finally disposed OF and with no eX.
pense to any one, save the city, which
is reimbursed, in case OF guilt, either
by fine or by labor on the streets.
Aud by enlargiug the Jurisdiction of the
Recorder MS justice of the peace, the
saving Of costs TO the parish, or city,
nigh, be still further increased.
! III like manner. the criminal eX-
; penses OF the parish could be reduced
, probably % per cent at least.

German-American History.

Translated From The Freic Prose-, June
-, 1876.
The next congress 10 be elected will be the
hftieth, and closes the first century Of our
constitutional liberty. Those representatives
who look forward 10 reelection are COntem-
plating the subject of forming Union. the
first member of which will be the German ".
G., of Oregon, BingCT Hermann, who was re-
elected last week as such. In con
nectiOn with this We would say
that the first man who Just one
hundred years ago was elected 20 Congress,
was also an AmericaniZed German. that Just
ly noble and distinguished warrior In the War
of Independence General NuculcnbeTg, of
Pennsylvania, and who was elected as the
first speaker In the first congress. About
year ago the state of Pennsylvania erected
fine marble statute at the National capitol.
Muehlenbcrg was minister in n town of
Pennsylvania at the time when the war of
the revolution started and was one of the
first ever to join the revolutionary army. At
the end of the farewell sermon which he de-
hvered to his congregation he stripped his
ministerial robes of and appeared in the uni
form of the Continental army. The statue at
Washington represents him in this act with
upltfted sword eNOrting to battle for American
liberty.
At the base of the monument are engraved
the last words of Muehlenberg to his cOngre-
CATION: There is a time for all things, pray
ing and lighting has each its time; now the
country and liberty follow me" And they
did follow him by thousands of these Amer
icanized German farmers out of the Pennsyl-
vania forests and the battlcfelds of Virginia
and North Carolina were saturated with the
blood of these heroes. In the last decisive
battle of Yorktown Muehlenberg led the storm
column of the right wing under the command
of another German General, Steuben, and he
was the first one on the parapets Of tho Eng
lish works.
1t is pity that our Anglo American cousins
seemingly take pains to treat the noble deeds
of these men with silence and apparent mat
tentiOn

THAT INJUNCTION.
A Statement as Presented by the Tur-

A Statement as Presented by the Tur-
ners, and What They viii Do.
In conversation with some prominent Of
fcers of the Turner's last night the LIGHT
learned their side of the middle that has led
to the injunction suit being filed IN the district
court by Mr.. Rsche, and il Is embraced in the
following: When the committee met to re-
ceive bids for the lease of Turner hall during
the ensuing theatrical season, there were
two bids, one from MIR. Frank Donaldson, Of
fering to lease the hall for $50 per night, the
other from Mr.. RisChe Offering to lease il for
two years on the same terms as last season,
namely SO per night. As the Turner's object
ed to lease for more than one season, Mr..
Rische's bid was amended to read in that way.
Mr.. Rische being a Turner and II man of
standing in the community the committee
were inclined favorably to him. He was sent
for and offered the hall At the higher bid. He
demuTred at the increased rental, and com
promise was effected thereby. Mr.. RisChe
agreed to pay $50 per night the first eighty
nights, SO for the next twenty nights,
and if the performance exceed
ed one hundred, the difference between
the first eighty nights, four dollars, was to be
refunded to him. He was then told that he
would be requested to sign an agreement and
to give a $500 bond that he ill the contract and
would play no companies at any other house
in the city. He expressed his preference for
the Turner hall, and agreed TO the terms. On
that basis IL was understood that Mr.. RisChe
was to be lessee of the hall during the next
season. The agreement and bond were pre-
pared. In the meantime Mr.. Rische had been
selected as manager of the new opera house,
and when the agreement was presented, he
refused TO sign II. This closed the negotiation,
and the Turner's then made other arrange
ments for the occupation of the hall during
the theatrical season.
The Turner's contend that Mr.. Rischc broke
the contract with them amp that IL is manifest
that in any case he could not properly lease
two opposition houses without doing an injus-
tice to one or the otner. The contract calls for
payment OF rental of the hall only on such
nights as IL is used, and If Mr.. Rische or any
other person became lessee of the hall he would
not be obliged 10 use IL, and would sustain no
loss This would be an injustice to the Tur-
ners and for this reason the bond clause was
placed in the agreement.
