First Finding Final.
FORT WORTH, TEX, April 6, 1855.

FORT WORTH, TEX, April 6, 1855.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
In your issue to day you say, in reply
to Mr.. Bennett, that there is no court in
the United States whose first finding,
even In capital cases, is Anal, except, OF
course, the pardoning power. Mr.. Ben
nett is correct, for the largest criminal
court in this country, that presided over
by United States District Judge Hon.
1. c. Parker, st Fort Smith, Ark., has
such power. This court is District
court with Circuit court powers. A
criminal found guilty Of murder by one OF
its iuries has 10 further recourse except
through the pardoning power Of the
President. No matter what errors of law
or evidence may have crept in the trial,
the finding, so far as any legal proceed
inss are concerned, is absolute.
Judge Parker hiss sentenced more men
to death than any judge living or dead
in the United States, and although he
has sentenced criminals to death who
commanded an unlimited amount Of
money to save their necks, yet in no in
stance has there ever been an appeal
taken. 1t nay seem strange that the
court whose criminal docket is the heav-
lest In our country has power IS abso'
lutte as the Gar of Russia. An inquiry,
however, will show that what l state is
true LEX,

more symptoms indicate The presence Of that
terrible disease which, unless ehsCked, means

In view of such serious and ever present

WHITE NATIVES OF AFRICA.

Descendants of tho Foolahs Now Living in
Southern Louisiana.
Kansas City Times.
Most people who have read Rider Hag-
CARDS tale Of the great white race in Al
RIGA consider 1t the purest hction, but
such Is not the case. South Of Timbuctoo
and north of Kong Mountains in the wesI-
ern part OF Africa live the Foolahs, the
white tribe of the dark continent. This
tribe has good features, skull nodded
like that of viii man and q complexion
about as dark as that Of tthe Italians.
They were great slave traders in the old
days, but they made specially OF the
finest grades Of csptives, and but few of
their own number were ever transported.
1t is said that shipload Of them WAS
once landed on the coast Of Louisiana,
and that the Creoles, refusing to believe
them darkies, set them free and hang the
slavers.
These Foolahs settled down in the
marshes of Southern Louisiana, and after
q while became civilized, and in that part
of the state to-day you will find tall, dark,
rather good-looking white men who have
all the Incidence Of the black African.
There are strange people in this great
country Of ours.

San Bernardino, Cal, but WAS first sent
ttofNew York, where the postmark shows
II arrived on December IL, which was
very good time for New York, but poor
time for San Bernsrdino. The New York

Leaning Tower, 1t rested until the post
master there sent it to Modena, In Spain
This Spanish postmaster did not indulge
in any halfway measures, but boldly sent
the missive to Canada. Canada sent 1t
back to New York. New York sent 1t to
the Dead Letter flee, where at last some
one took the trouble to read the address,
and writing "Cal." right after the origi-
nal "Cal >" stamped on the envelope
"Dlrection supplied" and back it went
5000 miles to San Bsrnardino.

Colenel W. G. Young, contradiction
OF whose statement In the Denver Repun.
licsn was published In THK GAZETTE yes
terday morning, waa seen in his office
yesterday land he seemed greatly exssper-
ated over the uAnner in which Colonel
STANDARD had criticised him. He said
that his declaration that the demand for
yexss cattle in the northwest was de-
cfcssing was not only sustained by the
fsctsshot that Governor Adams Of Color
ado, In his speech before the range con-
s6ntiop, had declared that the day OF
tue large ranch in Colorado was
az an end. And Colonel Young
said there were parties in Fort Worth at
present who own large stock property
in Montana who would corroborate all he
had said about the crowding out of the
cattlemen In the northwest by the sheep
men and the state governments. 1t may
be fact, he said, that 80, 900 head of cat
tie will be bought in Texas this year for
the northwest, as Colonel STANDARD says,
but what does that amount to when COM
pared with the 100000 and 800, COO that
have been bought up each year previous
to 1888?
The only misreprese NATION contained
in the whole interview, Colonel Young
says, is in that part where 1t is said the
Texas delegation to Denver msde up 8
subscription to pay debts which the Colo.
RADIO State Csttlemen's Association was
unable to pay. Colonel Young was hardly
aware of the existence Of a state organi.
z4tion, and when he alluded to the pay.
ment of $500 by the Texas visitors he re-
ferred to the dues which were deposited
by them upon becoming members Of the
international Range Association, and
which we're to be used in the payment Of
the expenses Of the convention. He made
no allusion to state association.
Colonel Young Is mortified to think
that he should have been represented Sc
in anyway depreciating the treatment OF
the Texas visitors by the northwest cat
tlemen. The entertainment sfforded the
excursionists in Colorado was q mos
complete ovation from the time the STATE
was entered till it was vacated.
