A short Respite for Booth, as the Court
Adjourns Until saturday.


The Supreme Court Of Wyoming,
Chief Justice Lacey presiding, with As
sociatc Justices Blair and Parks present,
convened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
The journal record of the preceding day
was read by the clerk and approved by
the court.
The case of William Booth, plaintiff III
error, vs.. the Territory of Wyoming, de-
PENDANT in error, was then called. 1. d.
Hinkle. county and prosecuting attorney
for johnson county, who represents the
territory in this case, stated that he had a
motion in that case which he wished to
have taken up for consideration-the
motion was to dismiss the case from the
docket OF the court. Judge Lacey inquir-
ed whether there was any attorney present
representing the plaintiff in error. There
was 10 response and Mr.. Hmklc proceed
ed to state the ground of the motion,
which was that no exception had been
brought up with the record, and this was
Of course the basis and foundation of the
proceedings-without the bill of excep-
tons there was nothing there for the
court to act upon. The court again in
quired in reference to the appearance OF
any attorney on the part Of the defend
ant, and Nh. Hinkle was asked whether
he had any knowledge upon the point as
to whether any appearance was to be
made on the part of Booth. Mr.. Hinkle
stated that he had no positive knowledge
upon the subject, but he thought it
doubtful whether the attorneys whose
names appeared upon the record on the
part of Booth intended to be present OF
to appear in any way. Judge Lacey then
stated that the court would take the matter
under consideration and thata recess would
be taken until ? o'clock in the afternoon.
AT 2 p. m. the court ~re-convened and il
was announced that an adjournment
would be taken until Saturday next at IL
o'clock, at which time there will probably
be some definite decision announced in
the Booth case.

Secretary Morgan, through many diff
%culties, not having the official assurance
that the government would foot the bill,
and in some instances on his own respon-
sibility, has succeeded in putting the
council chamber and the hall of the house
of representatives in excellent shape, and
has them both amply furnished with all
necessaries. Yesterday Mr.. Morgan pro.
vided the council chamber and the hall Of
the house with inkstands, etc, which he
procured on his own responsibility, and
both places are now in excellent running
order as far as all the necessary appliances
arc concerned.

Not Responsive.
Clinton Waterman.

No wonder that his Excellency the
Governor, dismissed his hitherto obse-
Quious servants, the Legislature, with
cold repeilant frOwns, instead of smiles.
In his message he intimated very
broadly that hs expected provision to be
made for the funding OF the Baby bonds,
and likewise of the half million of war
rants drawn in excess of revenue, by
submitting to the people another con-
stitntional Amendment. Unscrouplous
as in many respects the last Legislature
has shown itself to be, it shranL ,ppall-
ed from precipitating upon the State of
Louisiana the shame and ignOminy of
counting in another rejected deb. am
endment. As one of the unpleasant
consequences of the failure to saddle
the people with an increase of the pub
lie bonded debt by an amount approx
imating million of dollars, will be that
the question, like Banquo's Ghost will
not down at mans bidding, and will act
as disturbing element to the healthy
flow of Louisiana legislation until the
Shyl0cks who have bought the warrants,
in excess OF revenue, have been paid in
full. Whether it be styled reputation
of just debt, we are Indifferent; but
whenever that question comes up we
shall vote against funding any debt
that is not recognized in the Debt
clause of the Constitution; and we ad-
wise all citizens of Louisiana to do like
wise, inasmuch as they nor ourselves
are morally or legally bound to pay a
positive constitutional prohibition.

There has been quite war going on
in the swamp over the Lake and the
news, as far as received, indicates the
killing of two men and the wounding
of four others. The fight began on
Bayou Boutte. In the first instance a
colored man named Lorenzo Randall,
while gathering moss was shot and
badly wounded by fellow named Err
nest Mills. A deputy Sheriff of st.
Martin, Joshua Thomas and posse left
for tie scene next day and were fired
into. The brother of Randall was shot
in the chin. George Noye Deputy
Sheriff, in the breast, just below the
heart, and died shortly after. A man
named Peterson was killed. The
shooting was done by Mills, Valsin and
Dan Sparks. The Sheriff posse fired
into the swampers and it was thought
some of them were killed. Another
attempt will be made to effect their
capture. There was great excitement
at Morgan City on the arrival OF the
possee with the dead and wounded, as
they were carried to that place. Later
reports say that in the attack, Mills
was slightly wounded in the head,
Sparks was shot in the arm and his
son killed, when men and women, and
children left the camp and took to the
swamps, leaving behind them several
guns and pistols, which were taken by
the Deputy Sheriff and posse, who re-
turned without giving pursuit.-lberia

He left New York with the intention of

it was the wrong thing to do, and would
interfere seriously with his real mission,
namely to make money dy featuring, so
he took off his sword and put it in his
