Trial of H. ]. Perriou.

The trial of H. j. Perriou for
the killing of Gabriel Bulliard,
last March, under the charge of
murder, commenced Monday NOR
ming.
There were about fifteen mate
rial witnesses in the case and one
hundred and ten character wit
nesses.
A great deal of the time of the
trial was consumed by the lawyers
in disputing legal questions, the
state being ably represented by
District Attorney Muller, and the
accused by Messrs. r. F. Brous.
sard, JAS. e. Mouton and James
Simon, all able and distinguished
lawyers. Several bills of excep.
tions we're reserved by the defense,
and due to the arguing of these
bills of exception, the trial dragged
from day to day until Thursday
evening when the case was closed
the arguments made, the Judge
made his charge and gave thu
case to the jury.
At the time of going to press
Friday evening. the jury had no
agreed, and was still in their room
celebrating.

Succession to the Presidency
Daily Picayupe.

Daily Plcoyune.
In regard to the succession to
the presidential Office, in case of
the death or disability of the Pre-
sident, the Constitution provides
that the Vice President shall sue
coed him, and leaves it to Con-
gress to arrange for further sue
cession should the ONCE be va
want by reason of the death, disa-
bility or removal of both Presi-
dent and Vice President.
In 1893 Congress enacted that
| in case of such vacancy as that
mentioned, the President of the
Senate, and after him the Speaker
of the House of Representatives
shonld be President. This ar
rangement for political reasons
| was considered unsatisfactory.
since either the presiding officer
of the Senate or the Speaker of
the House might be of p different
political party from that by which
the President and Vice President
we're elected, and in such case the
entire political complexion of the
government right b changed in
In moment.
Therefore it was that in 1886
Congress made a new law ,provi-
ding that when both President
and Vice President shall fail
through any of the causes that can
vacate their Offices, the succession
to the presidential Office shall pass
first to the Secretary of State; Sc
cond, TO the Secretary of the Ire
asury; then, SUCCESSFULLY, to the
Secretary of War and of the Navy
to the Postmaster General, the
| Secretary Of Interior and the At
torney General.
In this way, assuming that the
members. of the Cabinet are of tht
same political party with the Pre-
sident and Vice President, thu
death or default of those officer
would not result to make any ra
dical change in the party politics
of the administration.
