To get on a jury, by the consent of a jury commissioner, is one of the privileges of citizenship. To hit a sleepy worshipper on the head with a contribution box is merely a bump of benevolence. A Northern paper says, General Augur drills the soldiers himself." That is news here; but the good General is certainly not a bore. It is said that if a cat is thrown to the ground she will strike right side up. That is not so.

She will strike on her feet, with her back up. Sirs. President ILayes is more popular in Washington society than her husband. She was counted in differently. So far as the New Orleans Custom House is concerned, we shall know what is what when we know who is who.

England is doing something in the way of suppressing the peculiar kind of dime novels that harrow up the souls of small boys.

TRUMPED UP CHARGES. Mr. Smalley, former correspondent of the New York Tribune, says that he had great fears for the innocent Republicans who might be prosecuted on trumped up charges, by Democratic judges and Democratic juries. The Republican papers throughout the country now vex the air with complaints that this has really happened. Mr.

John Sherman accuses the people of Louisiana of bad faith, of promise breaking, of persecuting reputable Republican citizens. He thinks that the indictment of the returning officers for publishing a forged record is a "trumped up charge." He villifies the. judge, he asperses the jury, he libels the State officials, he slanders the witnesses, he calumniates the people. Perhaps a sufficient answer to all this crazy rant is the following paragraph, which lately appeared in the New York Nation, of February 14 In any case, a judge that is good enough for the people of the State la good euoucu for the Returning Board. It is Bhocking, no doubt, to have a defaulter on the bench if defaulter he be but it la on behalf of the whole community that the thing is to ie protested against by outsiders, if at all.

There is nothing in Anderson's case or Wells's to entitle them to be tried by an exceptionally pure man. Judge Wnitaker's charge lies before us, and appears to be extremely careful and fair. Tlie principal point in Anderson's defense Is that the forgeries and alterations in the Vernon parish returns were done by Littleneld, the clerk, to qualify himself to be a Democratic witness, and no langua.se seems to be considered too strong on the part of the visiting statesmen" in describing the badness of his character. They are right in this but he was appointed by the Returning Board with a full knowledge of his character. When they gave him the place he was a noted loafer in "Stables and barrooms," according to his own account, and held a sinecure in the New Orleans Custocn Houee at $83 a month; of the other clerks, four were under indictment, one for murder and another for obtaining money under false pretenses.

We believe they are all now, except Littleneld. lodged in the Cus tom House. That Anderson had less to do with thiBdirty work than Wells, or perhaps left it all to him, we think is very likely he in a much more respectable man. That Wells did it cheerfully is not surprising. Gen.

Sheridan testified as early as 1867 that he had not an honest man among his friends." The thing for the President and Cabinet to do now is to let he law take its course. They are not responsible in any manner or form for the doings of the State courts, and threats and denunciations will be both unseemly and mischievous. Any embarrassment there is in the situation falls on Mr. Sherman, and he fairly merits it The Nation's argument is brief but conclusive. But there is more than argument, as to the Returning Board case, to prove the falsity of the charges so freely brought against the people and the authorities of Louisiana by Republican newspapers and Republican politicians.

Within a few days the late Republican Auditor, Mr. Johnson, was placed on trial on a charge of feloniously making way with the books and records of bis office. We do not know whether or not the jury was Democratic; but the Judge was the same magistrate that presides in the Returning Board cases, and the prosecuting officers were the same officials that conduct the Returning Board trials. Mr. Sherman will probably say that this was a "trumped up.

charge." If Mr. Johnson had been convicted he would certainly say so. But, at all events, Mr. Johnson did not suffer by it. He was subjected, it ia true, to the inconvenience of an indictment and a trial; but in compensation he had the opportunity to clear himself from suspicions which ho will always have a right to declare were unfounded, and which a generous public will assuredly renounce.

The State did not succeed in making out a ca8'j. There was no evidence against Mr. Johnson, and he was discharged by the common 'consent of judge, jury and prosecuting officers. Mr. Johnson and his friends have good reason to congratulate themselves on this result but, certainly, neither he nor they will say that he was unfairly treated, or that his politics weighed an iota against him on the trial.

In refutation of one of the charges made against the authorities of this State that five Grand Juries had refused to indict Wells, and that this was the reason that proceedings were taken by "information" it may be well now to give the facts of the case. In the month of February last Judge Whitaker drew the attention of the Grand Jury to the revelations made before the Field committee in regard to the Vernon parish affair. He suggested that it might be well to look into this matter, and to bring indictments against the accused officials. At that time the Packard pretended government was in existence, and the Secretary of State, Mr. Honore, acting with that Government, had possession of all the election returns.

The Grand Jury, acting on the Judge's suggestion, made inquiry, and applied to Mr. Honore for the official records. They were refused. The jury then asked the Judge for a subpoena duces tecum, directed to Mn Honore. At this point the question became complicated with the political situation.

Gov. Nicholls, it is alleged, advised that the proposed action be not taken, at that time, because it might precipitate a conflict, and a conflict, in the delicate state of our relations with the Federal Government, was, by all means, to be avoided. The foreman of the Grand Jury, still desirous of bringing the offenders to account, then called on Gen. Augur and represented the case to that officer, who gave advice concurring with the views of Gov. Nicholls.

For these reasonsthe Grand Jury desisted from further action. The next Grand Jury, still at the suggestion of the Judge a usual course in criminal matters again took up the case, but in consequence of doubts as to the legality of an indictment after the 1st of June, they contented themselves with a written request to the Attorney General that he would forthwith bring an "information." In compliance with this request the "information was filed. These facts dispose of the charge made by Sherman, and afterward repeated by Wells, in his absurd manifesto in the New York Times, that five grand juries' had refused to bring indictments against the returning officers. The other charges are equally without foundation, and sts the New 'York Nation justly says, any embarrassment there is in the situation falls on Mr. Sherman and he justly merits it." PASSAGE OF THE SILVER BILL.

Our dispatches this morning show that the anticipated veto of the silver bill was sent in yesterday, and that the bill was promptly passed, in both houses, the objections of the President notwithstanding. The vote in the Senate was 40 to 19, and in the House 190 to 73. This decisive majority is no doubt a correct expression of the feeling of the country. It has been plain for some time that public opinion was decidedly in favor of this project. The opinion indeed was strong to the point of intensity; so strong that even cautious politicians, like Mr.

Hill, of Georgia, were, in the end, forced to abandon their opposition. Perhaps no public question that lias ever come before the American people was ever bo thoroughly discussed as this one. Perhaps none ever aroused so much feeling, or was ever so violently agitated. For good or for evil the American people were bent on forcing the silver dollar into the currency. They have their way.

We trust that their way will prove to have less of evil in it than the opponents of the measure have feared and predicted. We trust, too, that this will satisfy the popular longing, and the schemes of those persons who have used the silver project as an entering wedge for paper money inflation, and the destruction of the national credit, will come to nought. MR. STEWART AND THE PRESS. Mr.

Roes Stewart, of Tensas, appears to be a friend of enlightenment, education and intellectual progress. He showed this disposition Wednesday, in a debate on the proposal to tax the daily newspapers $5000 a year by way of license. Mr. Stewart does not share the prejudices of some of his Republican brethren against the newspapers. He knows that in the main, the press is the lriend of the people, and that it is earnest in its wish and zealous in its efforts to, promote the interests of the among lation.

State, and good feeling all classes of the popu Mr. StewaTt is a sensible He knows that the true interests of the colored race cannot be advanced by cultivating among the colored people a spirit of resentment against the white people. He knows, too, that to attack the press is to assail the exponent of the views, and wishes, and feelings of the white people. He has too much common sense not to know that, in a war of this kind, the weaker party and the weaker race will surely suffer. He saw in a moment the motives which inspired his Republican colleague in making this extravagant proposal to tax the daily press out of Why," asked Mr.

Stewart, was this not done when the Republican party was in power So far from imposing heavy burdens on the press at that time, the Republican State Government set up Republican newspapers in every parish in the State, and subsidized them handsomely out of the public treasury." It is true that this system was soon brought to a close, but only because, if persisted in, it would leave nothing in the way of plunder for Republicans who did not happen to be amateur journalists nothing for Republican State officials nothing for the "hungry boys" of the Legislature. Mr. Stewart knows this very well, although he abstained from saying it. He did suggest, however, that the enmity to the press which was shown by the mover of the amendment had been awakened by sharp and vigorous criticisms on the Republican administration of the 'State Government. In view of this salient fact Mr.

Stewart thought the proposal, coming, from such a source, to be rather too thin." So it was entirely too thin to wash." The argument was urged in favor of the $5000 tax that the city papers charge what was alleged to be the excessive price of five cents hence, we suppose, the proposition to tax them enough to make thenrcharge ten cents. Five cents a copy may be a high price, or it may not. One cent would probably be too high for the taetes of the mover of the amendment in question. The newspapers have fixed their rates at five cents a copy, in accordance with strict business principles. They charge what can conveniently get; just as was the habit with Republican politicians when those persons were in a position to help themselves from the treasury, or to levy toll on acts of legislation.

There is this difference, in favor of the newspapers, that what they charge for their wares and their services they have a legal and a moral right to charge, and if, by chance, they get rich, people are not filled with wonder to know where the money came from.

West, North street, opposite Lafayette Square. OUR HEW YORK LETTER. Special Correspondence of the Picayune. New York, Feb. 25, 1878.

Bonds are again cabled per cent, lower from London to day, and with a free supply on the market. The oaDles say old holders are selling out." They are disgusted with the position the United States Congress has assumed on the debt question, and no matter whether the piesent silver bUl aUs to pass over the veto or not, the attempt without the deed is, in its essence, as bad as the deed Itself. Mr. Stewart Brown, (of Brown Bras. remarked to the writer this morning that he hoped this last decline in our bonds, and which bas now been continuous since Tuesday of last week, would open the eyes of Congress, and at least influence sufficient votes to sustain the veto of the bill; but this hope is not likely to be realized.

The best informed here and, in fact, the majority of our bankers regard the enactment of this, or some other silver law, as certain. And this will not be the end of the bad laws laws that will hit the national banks, making business with them even more than at present forcing many to give up business altogether, and sending confusion and uncertainty through all the marts of trade. This is what our bankers expect and what they are looMng for. The replacing of national bank notes by a new treasury note i a direct blow at the buuks, and the batiks 6o feel it. They are now nearly taxed out of existence, and if tliis new bill passes Othello's occupation will be about gone.

There was an active demand for gold at the opening, and free purchases were made at 102, when sellers short pan; The demand was, of course, the result of the fresh fall in our bonds abroad and the fear that they would come upon the market beyond the ability of bankers to shoulder them. Sterling was also stronger, because of an anticipated increased demand for bills to pay for bonds that would be sent this way. Instead of commission off 4.83 and 4.M being allowed, the figure was reduced to 1 lti. There is some inquiry for Noithern Pacific preferred shares at said to be for account of emigrants settling on the lands of the company. The latter receive these shares in payment of lands purchased by settlers.

Pittsburg further dropped to 66, cash, on the bear Bales, but rallied at the close to 67, still per cent, below Saturday. Gold weakened, or was rather sold down at the close to 101 15 16.

The Post this evening learns that the Bonanza Kings put up the price in London in order to make a good figure for the $3,000,000 they expect to sell to the Treasury as soon as the silver bill is declared a law.
