JUDGELYXCH IB JUST. AN APPEAL TO HIS HIGHER LAW BY NEW ORLEANS. ' New Ob lea mi, March 14.?The scnet ! and About lhe Clay statue this morning brought to mind very forcfMy'ar d ' violently Ibe peculiar and eiuinoua uprisir g of that fWmoua September day sixteen years ago. Ten o'clock bad not yet M.uck aid a trnst j multitude was already congregated on Canal j atrcct, atm?at fil ing up tho large space from eurb to curb on each side of the boulevard. .^4. Just on the stroke of 10 o'c'ock a shout went jfll ap fiom the feople sta'ione I about Charles 1 a'reet, and a number of gentleman, among irkom vtrt l'a-kersn, John Wickliffe and c H D lau.*l>o signed the call, came marching ^H^p alongand began walking round and round the range of tbe Clay monument. 91 Fall in! Fall in 1*' was tbc ety, and the 1 crowd formed a |roces-ion wltich weut around the railing eertrnl times. "Hurrah ft>r 1'arkerson !" Hurrah for Wickliffe !" "Get inside the railing and givo as a spiech." These and other cri?s made up a confusien of Oo:srs. among which an ntigry tone was significantly predotuinent. The space inside the railing was occupied I bj. a dense crowd. | W uic uu?n irom Iliofe Steps fflM tllf reqmst, "and let l'vrkcrson and Wicklifle gel ihcte.'" Hie crowd obeyed with alaetity, and soon si tie speakers held their positions of vantago. A rush was made for the Dnrrow gate, Mid iu a minute tlierc sfeod a packed maas cf ' humanity fronting the rta'uc of }lio immortal C ny. P The View from this altitude was imprs ng. Not a t ad word eecaped the lips of the gentlemen who had mounted the steps. They stood motionless surveying the surging multitude from whose ranks there gleamed faces ' full of r?solve and determination. 9 There were fully 3.000 people within earshot snd more could be seen struggling, rusbing and running there and here 011 the T neutral ground. Thes'rect cars were unable 0 to pass lb rough nnd vehicles of nil desctiplions wcreha'tcd. Farkerson spoke first, lie sn:d tbat once before heh d appeared b? fore the jeoplc in ^ a grand mas'! meet ng assembled to di-cuss 1 matters of vital impartauce to the community. And again he Cicc I the peoj le of Now Orleans lo denounce nn infamous act which o was consequent upon the most revolting o crime in the crimnvl snnals of nny community. Thnt set was the finding of tho jury itt the murder ttial yet-teidsy, and that pj ^4 crime, w everybody knows, was the foul assassination of Chief Ilennessey. "I desire u mm -fo&Sort nrnln and ns n good citis*n I ntn here." After the speeches the indignant crowd, about 3,000 strong, started frr the parish prison, which they reached at 10-40 o'olock. After a slight re?i?tance the jailor surren- t' dered. The citizens rushed iu and killed i? eleven of the nineteen men who had been ^ indicted for the a'sassinnOon of Chief Hennessey. After the Italians had been put to death Mr. Pnrkcrson addrcssel the crowd and Urged tlicm to return to the'r homes or 2 respective places of business without further c demonstration. Joe Mnchcc* had a pistol and shot Scrgonnl llcrron in the neck, in hiding a .-light wound. l'olitz is hanging to a lamp post at Trctr.e ' and Strand streets: Ilngnctto to a tree in front of the prison. The others were shot in their cells. When the piism's committee had c an- tli ple'ed its work nt the parish p>i*on it dis- Ct banded for (he day. A meeting will he held to-night to consider what further action, if any, shall be at taken. The committeo is composed of the better c'ass of citizens, business men who 10 were satisfied that the safety of the ^city P demanded rigorous action. ^ 4 n 1 II, 1 ,1 TI I 1 i i.W Nkw Orleans, March 16;?One of the obief causes of public indignations in connection with the Mafia trial has been the belief that the Mafia society depended on bribery to secure the release of the accused, m It has been asserted that $75,000 or f 100,- c 000 was contributed by 1 ?lians all over the country to be used as a v Tiiption fund.? Thousands of dollars, it was tnid, came *' from Chicago, New York aud ether cities w where the Italians aro congregated in large numbers. It is certain teat the poor Italian laborers in this society were taxed two {j dol'ars apiece as a contribution to the dc- (j fense fund, and that there was no lack of money in the treasury of the society. A body of cool-beaded men, lawyers, ?k>6- P tors, merchants and political leadpis,' all persons of influence and sjeirtrt' standing, quietly met and decide/A-that some action 81 roust be taken, nnd^nhe people's justice, awift and sure, visit Cl upon those whom the jury neglected to [jnish. ^ xew oru^Tkb rnKss onsioxs. m New 0r!arch 15.?Thr State to-day p aays cd^^Pally: "Ye-tcrday (be cancer (| whicli years had becu gnawing at ouraoeial adptem until good men's hearts had near ? d^pEtrrd, the hideous Mafia was, once fo" > amid torrents of blood, fiercely rooted s MBHpKtby the people'e strong arm, and with the ^T^l^Keople's instruments.

The Timtt-Democrat says : "Tbis paralysis of justice was due neither to the incorn- P potency of the police nor to the incapacity d of the oflieer nppointel to ndminister the j laws.

Edited by a man ripe in years and tich in experience, nnd supported by such a corps of local cum pondents as the versatile Seston, the logical Joe, the eminently practical Telephone, nnd our Mathematical friend, Vox, and Kelton Wheel, the paper certainly merits a higher degree of success than it has vet attained. Since our la>t letter wo heard with profound sadness of the death of one of your I est local correspondents, MR. J. T. AI.LMAN. Mr. Ailman was endowed with a fine mind, and with more than ordinary mental aod physical energy, lie always looked to the practical as well as theoretical aspect of things, nnd devoting his attention to agriculture, he was making Pea Ridge farming a hiiccc's. lie was a man of dec ded convictions, and aiwnys ready to aid in tho advanccmcnt of any cause that he be'ioved to i bo for the host interest of the oommuoity in which Im lw?*r in tits itoafir the town of Kelton and the State lost a true and patriotic oit'xen, and the Methodist Church at Foster's Chnpelono of its firmest members. s tuk farmers outlook is rather gloomy nt present, and wc have heaid it retxarked by expetienced farmers that if tho raiDS continue a little longer it will he too late to prepare Inn 1 and plant cops sufficiently early for them to mnture.
