The SIaeri4Es DetauItedls

1t has always been an open ducs~
tion among the uninitiated why 90
many sheriffs defaulted during the
McEnery regime. 1t seemed to be
quite the custom in those halcyon
days for q sheriff to "serve bis pec-
PIE" for term OF years, steal all The
money in the treasury, barn dowa
the courthouse, receive a auietus
from the police jury and from the
State, aud thea 60 on biz way re1oic.
ing
It always happened, however, that
every one of the sheriffs undergoing
the treatment above described, in
variably came out a strong McEnery
leader" and dispensed proiigious
amount Of doodle among the boysa
about election times.
The Guilbeau atiidayits, published
in the State press and subscribed 10
by reliable man, will explain the
matter It will also explain how it
was that several police juries grant
ed their official quietrs TO sherifFs
who we're short IN their accounts.
If any member was moi disposed to
concur in giving a quietus, it was
an easy matter for the sheriff 10 "lih''
him and llout one Of the "blank
commissions" with the name OF one
who would concur Ranger.

THE POLICE COURT JURY.

They Are Discharged by Judge Miller, Who
Is Presented with Flowers.
The July term Of the Police Court expires
tomorrow and the jurors were discharged to-
day. Some of the jurors were dissatisfied, it is
said, because they we're discharged for several
dnys at a time and were not permitted to an
swer roll call every day and receive the pay
therefor.
Such action on the part Of Judge Miller, how
ever, was necessary on account of the amount
Of money appropriated by Congress being
limited.
lr dscharging the jury Judge Miller e1-
pressed his personal thanks. well as the
thanks OF the community. for the good service
they had rendered. The judge said he was glad
to say that the business of the court, SO far as
jury trials were concerned, was in good shape
Juror Posey, on behalf Of his fellow Jurors,
presented the judge with a handsome basket Of
roses. In making the presentation Mr. Posey
said that this was his first jury duty and it was
also his first speech in public.
He said the flowers were presented in con-
sideration of the many kindnesses received at
the hands of the court. He assured the Judge
that he had the best wishes OF all the Jurors
and that he would always be remembered with
kindness to whatever duty be was called
Judge Miller in reply complimented Juror
Posey on his proficiency as juror and IN
orator. He said that the juries in the Police
Court thus far had been made of the best
material he had ever seen in the jury box. and
for that reason he had always parted with them
with reluctance. The judge thanked the jurors
for their kind remembrance of him and assured
them that they had his best wishes
Deputy Clerk Harper was also the recipient
OF handsome basket of flowers, and Bailffs
Bolts and Hooe were each presented with a
purse.
