THURsDAY. MARCH 10, 1855.


THERE Is no doubt bal consid erA BILE
opposition will again 10 shown ct she
May term Of court 10 the granting OF
licenses 10 sell liquor, and there are
several things that should be taken int
confederation In connection with this
matter. In the first place those who
remonstrAte should come before she
court with specific charges, which II
necessary they should DO able TO sub
stAntlats by proof, Is By following this
course they will be better able 10 CLOSE
many OF the disreputAble houses and
avoid the errors Of the last two terms,
through which some places where she
law Ia hsbisuAlly violated were allowed
20 pass without remonstrAnce and OBJ
tAlned their license, while other men
who had lived mp 10 the law and kept
orderly houses were demonstrated
against and turned down.
Another thing that should be guarded
against 10 the dispoeision on the part
OF some Of the temperance men, % well
- some OF the saloon keepers, 10 censure
the judges. Some Of those who sign
circumstances and and that the place
demonstrated against has been licensed
are very apt TO complain, while on the
other hand saloon keepers who produce
recommendations OF good character
from some Of our leading citizens, and
petitions signed BY scorer OF men Hsk-
ing that their license shall be granted,
and then find that they have been
turned down, are also apt 10 complain
and censure the souri, II may be we'll
for suoh 10 remember that The license
question places . great responsibili
on the judges, and one which, ~ Judge
Houston truthfuliy said some time ago,
they should never have besn called
upon TO bear. In this matter they ere
obliged TO decide between the business
prospects and the Thousand OF dollars
invested In tue business by over two
hundred liquor sellers, men who pay
their taxes the same As other c.liz sns,
and those, among whom are many OF
or very best citizens, who are unal.
terAbly opposed to the liquor business
In every respect. Some OF the liquor
sellers have claimed in the past that
when they complied with the law the
court had no right TO refuse their applI-
cation, but this point WAS settled by
Judge Houston As the November term,
when he decided that q license 10 sell
intoxicAiing liquors Is y privilege, and
can be granted or withheld In the wis.
dom OF the court. Ii IL impossible for
the judges 70 know anything more
about the applicants than the reprssen-
tAtions which are made for or against
them, but tide manner in which they
considered the license question al the
last two terms Of court, shows that
they do mol Intend to spare any effort
% inform themselves OF all the cIroum-
stances bearing on each application
and everything Is far Is possible con
cernlng the character Of the applI-
cants. These facts should be borne In
mind al the May term by the saloon
keepers, As well Is their opponents,
and II acted upon both sldss can ma
teriAlly assist the court In wedding ont
the dlsreputable places, and closing
some OF the saloons In localities where
they are superabundAnt.

John II. Martin told some friends
an interesting story yesterday which
illustrates the poor opinion some Of
the early residents of Denver had Of
real estate in this city when they first
arrived. lie said that a gentleman
who is now well known in business
and financial circles came into his office
one morning, and noticing q revolver
OF an old time make upon table said
that he must have it and not only that,
bnt a IS bill as well, adding that he
would execute warranty deed to a
lot he owned at the corner of Nine
teenth and Curtis streets in payment.
MIR. Martin told his friend that he did
not want the lot, but that if the matter
OF the revolver and money was abso
lutely necessary he could call il a
trade. The deed TO the property was
made out and few years later O
house, which cost an even 5000 and is
still standing where it was placed, " as
moved on TO the property. Mr.. Mar.
TIN sold this lot the other day for $40,

Legal Briefs.

Lord Eldon says he was once with
Mr.. Justice Gould when the latter
was trying a case in York. The legal
celebrity had been growing more elo-
quent for two hours, when he stopped
short and exclaimed: "Why, sir,
how's this? There are but eleven
jurymen in the box. Where's the
twelfth" "Please you, my lord"
meekly remarked one of the eleven,
"he's gone away about some business,
but he left his verdict with me-"
Gentlemen of the jury" said the
prisoners counsel, "my client is on
trial for heinous murder, aggravated
by the crime of arson, and alleged to
have been caused by quarrel with
the victim over the body the two had
secured from a robbery of an orphan
asylum. l have but to call your at
tention to the fact that the Constitu-
ton gives my client right to trial by
a jury of his peers. If you decide that
the prisoner is guilty, shall move to
have the grand jury take cognizance
of your self confessed criminality. 1
think, gentlemen of the jury, that in
justice to yourselves, your wives, and
your children, you should decide that
the prisoner shall be acquitted" 1t
was not surprising that after this pa
thetic appeal the jury returned the
verdict that 1--WE find our brother not

He Endorses the Scheme.

To the San Antonio LIGHT:
There is scarcely day that does not
usher into existence something
worthy of attention and the various
means used to disseminate said intel
ligence are much sought after by those
in quest of benefit.
This is truly exemplified both at
home and abroad and no more so than
in the modern means of advertising,
which is rapidly being adopted in this
age, the benefit of which is SO plainly
seen in Capitalist, or the City of Fort
Worth, in the late production of
Texas Mikado," which has won the
admiration of everybody.
We are now being favored by
Messrs. Smith and Keele, with the
production of "San Antonio, Texas"
in parody on H. M. 8. Pinafore, which
will strike favorably the public and
find its way into every part of our en-
quiring country.
The efforts of these gentlemen
should certainly meet with the appro-
val of our citizens for they will do San
Antonio much good, in advertising
our city in the parody referred to,
which needs only to be seen to be ap-
preciated. Respectfully,
]. A. H. HOSACK.

Unity and Harmony.

NEW YORK, July 11.-Conferences
have been held today between the
representatives of Gen. Harrison and
Mr.. Morton, and it is stated that there
was the most cordial agreement as to
the organization of the committee and
the plan of campaign. 1t is said that
the organization will be made so as to
represent all elements of the party,
and preserve the unity and harmony
shown by the national convention.
1t had been supposed that the chair
manship of the committee would go
west, but it is said tonight that Mr..
Clarkson, of Iowa, and Mr.. New, of
Indiana, the two western men,
for the place both declined to be con-
sidered for it, and this will insure an
eastern chairman, with the proba-
bility that Colonel Dudley, of Indiana,
will be made chairman Of the execu-
tive committee. Senator Quay, and
Chas. Magee, of Pennsylvania, are the
most discussed for the national chair
manship. Senator Platt, of New
York, declined to be considered for
the place. An advisory committee is
to be created to act with the executive
committee, and to be chosen from the
representative republicans in the diff
ferent sections of the country.

The Pretty Mulattress.

A very funny story is told the
LIGHT that may or may not be true,
but it comes from q good and reliable
source. 1t is as follows: A paid en-
ploye of the fire department had a
mulattress for friend, and the friend
ship was such as is only sanctioned
by matrimony. For time the init
macy was broken off, and afterwards,
from some cause, the employee became
unpopular with certain members of
his company and they resolved to get
rid of him. To attain this end the SER
vices.of the mulattress were called and
she succeeded in getting the employe
to make an appointment to visit her
rooms at midnight. He did not go till
o'clock a. m; then she Indignantly
resented his visit, called her friend, q
well known mulattress, and had the
employee arrested. Before the judge
the mulattress posed as an injured
victim, but unfortunately she had re-
sided in one of the judges houses and
he knew the relation existing between
the accused and the prosecutor. AS a
result, the employee was acquitted and
the plot came to an end.

A STRANGE SPANISH SECT.
People Who Believe In Going About
the Steets Naked.


People Who Believe In Going About
the Steets Naked.
From the Brooklyn Citizen.
Your readers may remember that
some time ago drew attention to
very remarkable phase of religious
fanaticism in the little village of To-
lox, in the province of Malaga, which
led to a state prosecution. The de-
voices of the religion, 1 may call to
mind, took it into their heads, or
rather were led to believe by their
leader, woman who declared her
self prophecies, that the highest
mundane affairs of this life in the SIM
pie garb of Adam and Eve before the
fall. This was bad enough and
led as 1 have said to the
intervention of the Crown, but
it was not their only divergence
from the ways of ordinary NOR
tails, another portion of their doctrine
being to infiict upon themselves
wounds in the hands, breast and feeG,
such as are shown in represen tation
of the crucifxion. They also burnt
all, or nearly all, their worldly pos
sessions in the belief that higher
power would provide them with food.
Their behavior was such, that as
stated, the government felt called
upon to interfere, and day or so ago
a number of leaders of this strange
sect were put upon their trial. AL
ready the most extraordinary revela-
tons have been made, apart from
what may be called the spiritual man
ifestations which these misguided
people declare have been made to
them. The most interesting feature
in connection with the trial has been
the experiments in hypnotism which
have been made on the defendants by
medical specialists, this being the
first time hypnotism has been resort
ed to in Spain in the interests of JUS
tice.
In nearly every case the defendants
proved to be good subjects. Many Of
the experiments tried by the doctors
were of the most extraordinary char
acter. One of the accused, for in
stance, when in state of hypnotism,
on being ordered to perspire, broke
out almost in a state of profuse per-
spiration, while another, who was Or
dered to ascend a very high noun
tain, being the while in an ordinary
room, behaved as if he were actually
climbing, his breathing being difficult
and his heart beating violently.
When this man was told that he had
reached the summit and might rest
awhile, the symptoms of exhaustion
gradually disappeared. Others were
pricked with long pins, and gave no
evidence of feeling what was being
done to them.

The Circular Conspiracy.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 1O.-Inspector
Bonfield says: 1.-THE conspirators
when arrested, sent for me; went to
see them at the armory, where they
had been taken, first sending word to
Mr.. Stone that presumed they want
ed to talk. He came, bringing Attor-
ney Collier with him. He consulted
with them; they appeared to be very
nice young men, intelligent and hon
est, they told us fully of their connec-
ton with the circular, then as the re-
suit of the conference, they wrote out
all they knew, and I can say that
their statement was perfectly salts
factory to Mr.. Stone and Mr..
Collier. I had to leave before the
statements were fully completed,
but understand that they settle sat-
isfactorily, and beyond the possibility
of doubt, the authorship of the
Salroda and Emery circular"
