our juicy SYSTEM.

A complete report of the New
Orleans grand jury, which has been
engaged for the past six weeks on
the HENNESsEY case and the shoot
ing of the Sicilian assassins, was
made public Tuesday. The thor
ough examination of the subject
has failed to disclose the necessary
facts to justify the grand jury in
presenting indictments against the
thousands of the avengers of Chief
HENNEssEY and whose only crime
was rebuke to the miscarriage of
justice which crime is laid at the
door of Detective O'MALLEY, who
fixed the HENNEssEY jury for the
special purpose of defeating the
ends of justice. The verdict of the
jury in the HENNEssEY case was so
contrary to the law and evidence,
and the condition Of affairs had
reached such a stage that the law
was powerless to deal with the as
sassins. Nopower at the command
of the authorities would have been
sufficient to overcome the action
of the good people of New Orleans,
who were profoundly impressed by
the repeated and signal failures of
justice, and believed that they were
acting for the community against
the enemies Of the community in
refusing to submit to the surrender
of their rights into the hands Of
midnight assassins and their pow.
erful allies. They did what they
conceived to be their duty, anc
they did not go to killing for kill
ing's sake. The moral to be drawn
from the New Orleans affair is no
furnished by the men who deemed
it necessary to punish those Grim
inals whose guilt had been estab
lished beyond a doubt, but by thu
twelve men whose shameless COW
ardice betrayed the people and dis
graced the peoples court-it show
that the rotten American jury sys
tenn, as administered, was more t,
blame for the condition of affair
than either the people of New Or
leans or even the Malta. If sh,
will purge her courts of the mel
who have disgraced and discredit
ed the administration of the Grim
inal law in their city-men VIII,
breed lawlessness- then New Or
leans can we'll afford to abide TIL
decision of the grand jury in thi
report.

AN extra session Of the general

only a question Of expediency but
a duty as we'll. The State must be
redistricted, or otherwise we run
the risk Of having an illegal body

Governor BUCHANAN regrets this
necessity, his duty is plain, and he

takes of that body. 1t now devel-
ops that the registration and the

10 The Chr0nlcle.I
If you will give me little space
in your most valuable paper l will
write afew lines to my many friends
in old Benton-having promised to
write to SO many of them before l
left, [ find itwould take more Of my
time than 1 have to spare at present
to write to all Of them separately.
We left Memphis April 2 at 6
o'clock p. M, by way of the Cotton
Belt Route, striking Central Texas
at a point about 200 miles south
of Hearne. l was very much sur
prised to find such great improve
ment in the agricultural line since
1883. All along the line of railroad
over which we travelled, as far as
the eye could see, the prairies had
been enclosed and the greater part
of it in a high state Of cultivation.
Great improvements have been
made in Texas since | was here.
The people here have determined
to develop the country, and they
are doing it in an intelligent and
profitable way.
| have visited several towns, and
| find there has been a marked i'm
provement in the morals of the
people; on the streets Of towns
where [ once walked and heard the
sound of revelry and the call of the
CANISTER, all is quiet now. [ have
been here three weeks, and have
heard but one oath. / find that
| the churches are well attended.
The water facilities are much bet
artesian wells dot the country
in every section. Some Of them
have fine white sulphur.
/ find that the Texas farmers are
like all the farmers in this broad
UnitedStates. eyhaveno meth
cd by which to govern their bust
ness. For the past. two years corn
has been selling at Is cents pei
E bushel; now it is selling at 81 and
$l,25 per bushel. Everybody here
last year raised cotton, and while
Texas produced over2,O00, 000bales
there is less money in the hands Of
the farmers than if they had pro
duced only two-thirds that amount
and made plenty of corn for home
consumption.
This spring is month later thar
usual. There is a full crop plant
! ed this year. Texas is seen at he
best now, as she surpasses all fol
beauty and grandeur in the spring
? but take care for July and August
