RuMORED RESIGNATION. -

RUMORED RESIGNATION. - The
news mongers have insisted for
several weeks that the Hon. Hoke
Smith, Secretary of the Interior,
had rendered his resignation to
President Cleveland. The report
owed it's origin to the fact that the
Secretary, through his paper, the
AtlanGa Journal, bad espoused The
cause of Bryan and Sewall; while
it was surmised that the President
-reticeDt up to- this time would
eventually assume an antagonistic
attitude towards that ticket. How
ever, that may be, the news sent
out from Washington that tue
Secretary has commenced to ship
his books, papers and other per
sonal effects to Atlanta, seems tC
lend color to, if not to actually
verify the rumored resignation.

GOURDAIN ACQUITTED.

New Orleans juries are in the
habit of rendering some strange
and unaccountable verdicts, nei
ther responsive to the law nor the
evidence. A case in point was
the acquittal of L. A. Gourdain
last week, under Indictment and
upon trial for obtaining money
under false pretenses. The stran
gest part of the whole transaction,
however, is the fact that Gour,
dain, entirely ignorant of the law,
conducted bis own defense and
was enabled with such brilliant
legal lights pitted against him as
Attorney. General Cunningham and
District Attorney Mari, to con.
vince the jury that he was not
guilty aud secure verdict of ac
quittal, though. just by what rea
soning the jury arrived at such a
conclusion. passes our cOmprehen-
sion. 1t will be remembered that
L. .. Desforges, a member of the
City Council, had been convicted
and sentenced to the penitentiary
for corruption, by soliciting brides
in Office. Like a drowning man
catching at Il straw, he readily
grasped at the proposition of Gour.
dain to save him from the peni.
Tertiary, if he would furnish him
with u certain amount Of money.
In pursuance of his belief in the
ability, as well as the honesty and
integrity of purpose on the part of
Gourdain to execute his part of the
contract, Desforges placed him in
possession of $4,000 The arch
scoundrel went upon the witness
stand and admitted that lie had
received the money, but refused to
divnlge to the Court and jury the
purpose for and manner in which
he had expended it, further than
to say that Desforges is still out of
the penitentiary and it naturally
followed that he hal not been
guilty of obtaining money by false
pretenses. But as every legal av
enue of escape has been securely
locked against him, he will soon
he au inmate of the "pen," unless
there should be q suddenly mirac,
nl0us interposition of Providence
in his favor. The jury evidently
concluded that G0urdain had not
been guilty OF obtaining money
under false pretenses, because Des-
FORCES had not yet been consigned
to the penitentiary, although the
rascal submitted no evidence to
show that he had been instrument
tai in keeping him out of it. A
man, although Il convict, cannot
he robbed of his money in any
such manner, even with the aSsiS,
tance OF a jury. his acquittal Is
rather OF ii technical, than sub
stantial nature. There must be
some legal recourse against him in
favor of Desforges and his family.
1t is the duty of the District AT.
torney to prosecute him to the full
est extent OF the law. 1T he Is not
guilty under the statute upon
which he was indicted and tried,
IN the jury would have US believe,
the villain is guilty under some
other, unless our penal code IN

FRANKFORT. Ky, March il-rhis
eleventh day of March, 1896, will be un-
enviably memorable in the history OF
Kentucky state politics. Blind purti-
Ban!sm and bitter passion usurped the
place OF cool judgment and sober
thought. At times Il looked as u there
might be an outbreak OF mob violence.
When Il became known outside that the
house had unseated Kaufman. the DEM
ocrRt, and that the senate had uDseated
the Republicans, james and Walton the
aspect looked so threatening that many
OF the great crowd that thronged the
corridors made rush to get away.
There was unseemly rush for the joint
assembly door, which was guarded py q
large body OF armed men. At one time
the explosive point was almost reached.
Thai point would doubtless have been
reached II the Republicans had at
tempted to force the unse2ted senators
into the joint assembly meeting. kaut-
man. the Democrat unseated by the
house, was already in the hall. Senator
James. one Of the unseated senator's
got In by strategy. This left one un-
seated Democrat and one unseated Re-
publican in the joint assembly nall
This made honors about even on that
score and tended to promote peace.
There were revolvers waiting silent but
ready at the hall door, and had anyone
wanted trouble he could have had II.
within the hall OF the Joint assembly
matters were made to run more smooth
ly by the ruling Of Speaker WorthinE
that the clerk OF each house should call
the roll for the vote OF the house. Once
under way the Joint assembly proceeded
TO business In true parliamentary style.
When Il adjourned every member Of It
went out In the open air in n good hu-
NOR. The breaking OF the quorum indi-
Gates that this will be the strategy OF
both parties through the few days that
remain OF this session, and that neither
party will elect senator.
