Th* Grant pariah prisoners’ jury con
sists of ton whites and two negroes, And
it was extra hard work to got them. The
case was progressing on Thursday.
The debt of Louisiana having reached
its constitutional limitation ($25,000,000),
the Supremo Court has decided that all
appropriations by the Legislature, other
than those necessary to defray the actual
expenses of the State Government, ars
illegal and invalid.
The lost New York papers print reports
of disclosures mado to the Hoard of
Police by deteclivos, from whiuh it ap
pears that there is uu organized and ac
tive Communist Association in Now York,
and that they threaten to burn buildings,
fight the polico with firearms next
time, Arc.
On Friday, Judge Woods, of the U.
8. Circuit Court, eujoined the tttute
Anditor of Louisiana from exoouting the
Funding acts of that State until further
orders from the Court. The Funding
aots|are those by which tho Kellogg Legis
lature proposed to compromise or scalo
the bonded indebtedness of the tttato at
(10 cents on tho dollar. It would soern
that tho Federal Government koopa n
pretty tight rein ou the Louisiana gov
eminent of ils own creation, and wo sup-
poso it's nil right. It is only u Washing
ton agency that Kellogg is running.
Tub Washington National Republican,
of Thursday, noticing the Alabama Houa
torial contest, says : “While no dofinilo
conclusion lias been reached, it ia under
stood that two reportH will bo submitted
to tho Henato—eue in favor of tho sitting
member, aud the other in advocacy of Mr.
HykoH’ right to admission. It is ondeav-
orod to secure Mr. Bpeucer's rejection at
nil evonts, aud to offeot this it is proposed
to ask the Somite to remand both parties
to tho Legislature of Alabama to again go
through tho form of a now election.
Simmons, whoso nomination for Golleo-
tor of Boston was confirmed by the 8en-
nto on Friday, was lien Butler’s favorite,
and was opposed by both tho Massachu
setts Honators, Kumuor aud Boutwell, who
made speeches against confirmation on
Friday. A majority of tho Massachusetts
Representatives nlso opposed tho nomina
tion. Thu rresidont's selection of and
Adhorcnce to Kiimnous, nuder these cir
cumstances, indicate that Butler is “a
power behind the throne." All the Dem
ocratic Honators present ou Friday night
voted to ooufirm Simmons’ nomination,
which they probably did merely as a
ntrntegio parly not to incronso the antago
nism beLw eon the Massachusetts Republi
cans and tho President.
Gov. Hmitji, just boforo tho adjourn*
xnout of tho Logislaturo, sent a mesaugo
to the House in roforonco to the amount
of the bonds of tho Macon A Brunswick
Railroad endorsed by tho State, llo says
in tho message that tho rooords in tho Ex
ecutive Department do not nhnw the
amount of those bonds endorsed by Gov.
Joukins ; that tho testimony diff'ors ns to
whether it was $400,000 or $450,000; that
Bullock's endorsements amounted to $1,-
550,000; and the Governor adds : “From
information derived from Mr. llazlohnrot,
it is my opinion fkaj^tho bonds of tho
compauy endorsed nuder the act of 1870
liavo never been logally negotiated by tho
company. Justice both to tho Htato and
to tho holders of tho bonds requires that
a rigid and thorough investigation of the
issuing of tho ciidorsemonts, and of the
disposition of tho bonds should bo made
at uu early day."

Wo in the settled Eastern Hlutos can
form no conception of tho wonderful
growths of the Territories traversed by
tho Rocky Mountains, aud of thuso terri

for Colorado's unparalleled success. Hhe
ia filling up with a wide-awake thrifty
population, uud her eili/eus, instead of
being miuiug adventurers uud prospec

OOOD FOR TDE VETO! |
Gov. Smith vetoed the bill creating the
new county of Nicholls, which we believe
waa the only now county bill passed by I
the Legislature at its late session. We
heartily approve this veto. The now |
county of Nicholls was to lie formed out ,
of Appling, Coflee, Pierce aud Ware-
four of the smallest counties, as regards
population, in the State. According to
the census of 1870, the total population
in each of them was as follows: Ap
pling 5080, Coffee 0102, Pierce 2778,
Ware 2280—aggregate 25,342. Tho coin- |
binod population is considerably less
than that of Muscogee, aud yet
they alroady have four Bep-
sentativas in the Legislature, while Mus
cogee has but two. Had tho new county
been formed, it would for the present
have boon either wholly unrepresented in
the Legislature (for which reasoo, we are
told, tho Governor vetood it;, or its re
presentation would have been similar to
thut of tho Territorial delegates in Con
gress—drawing pay, but not voting—for
the House alroady has its constitutional
complement of Representatives. But
when tho next apportionment has to bo
niado, this new couuty would have come
in for its special Representative, and of
oonrso the larger counties would buvo
had to loqo one. Tho Governor, thou,
wisely vetoed it on the score of its repre
sentation—immediate aud prospective.
Had the Legislature, instead of cre
ating this new county, consolidated Ap
pling, Coffee, Pierce and Ware into one
or at the most two counties, it would
have done a more sensible net, and one help
ing to diminish, rather than to increase,
tho evil of unequal and too poudorous
representation now existiting. No ses
sion of tho Legislature more forcibly il
lustrated tho importance of reducing tho
QOmber of Representatives than the one
just endod. Its credit page of important
work accomplished falls far short of bal
ancing tho dobit page of expenso to the
Ktate and timn consumed. Ils under
taking to divide aud cut up counties now
containing less than threo thousand in
habitants, with a view to giving them ad
ditional roprosontatiou, and thereby in
creasing the expotiso of tho Htate and tho
difficulty of legislation, was an act of
generosity too expensive to tho poople of
the balance of tho Htato and too deroga
tory to their equal rights.
We ol«se as we began, Hurrah for l ho
Veto!
THE RIGHT VIEW.
Tho paragraphs which wo copy below
are from tho Southern Christian Advo
cate, the organ of the Mothodists of Geor
gia. They are from au article discussing
tho women’s anti-liquor crusade in Ohio
and elaewhero. It is not difficult to com
prehend the “less demonstrative and uu-
feminine methods'' of warring against in
temperance, to which the Advocate al
ludes as preferable to the plan adopted.
The ladies fully understand the great in
fluence which they can exert, how, ami
upon whom they can exert it. Tboy
know that they can, by social discrimina
tions, bring mnuy rnon to nn apprehen
sion of tho discredit of iutemporato drink
ing, who seldom think of it in that light
now. They have certainly a bettor chance
of permanently reforming those whom
they esteem, by unmistakably showing
them their detestation of intemperance,
tlinu by suspending for a season the pub.
lio sales of liquor by rotuil or iu a bar
room.
Tho Advocate says: “Now Ibis prosti
tution of what ought to be a purely spirit
ual agency, into u sort of balteriug-raiu
with which to demolish sinks of iniquity,
strikos us as a profane uud unwarrantable
perversion of SAcred things, which uecos-
sarily involves peril of subsequent ill re
sults. It will bo well if tho llgitimato in
fluence of prnyor be not abridged iu those
communities to a degree that shows a sad
requital for the temporary succohh attend
ing its undesigned profanation.
“But, howover obnoxious to criticism
tho deportment and mot hods of these re-
formers may be, their zeal is worthy of all
praise, and wo commoud it to tho imita
tion of our female readers. Such zeal,
finding expression iu the loss demonstra
tive aud unfoiuinino methods which the
uutivo iustiucts of Southern women would
suggest, is sadly needed nrnoug ns, and
would go far toward checking an evil
which is crowding with countless wroes
the lives of multitudes of mothers, wives,
and sisters iu our laud."

About Penn Bedell.
Newnan, Ga., Fob. 21., 1874.
Fditors UriJIln Daily Star: Without
wishing to engage in tho difficulties of
dead or living men, I must beg louvo to
refer to your editorial, saying “Bedell has
gone the road he sent' Rasberry.” A raid
ing other allusions to the dead Bedell,
Bedoll's defence was that ho didn't shoot
Rasberry, but that he was “killed in tho
house of his friends.” As Bedell's friend,
l once suggested to him to make his do-
fence in tho Itasborry homicide, not
denying the killing, but moot it
tho ground of self-dofouco— his answer
was, “You know I toll you tho truth—
that I would kill a man under no circum
stances that I would deny it, aud ho I will
not acknowledge killing one I didn't kill
to keep from being haugod, or to perfect
ray defence."
This was an answer characteristic of
Penn Bedell, and of his principle. I livod
in his father's family, and have known
him from childhood to death. He was a
bravo, honorable limn, above a moan
thing, though ho did have faults. 1 have
no desiro to persecute anyone in misfor
tune, though brought on by himself. So
iu behalf of tho dead, let us, if “their
faults are not buried with them," at least
not open the grave in search of faults.
