The EXPENSES OF xC%RIaIgaL PRosE.
! cuT1oN.-Ti1s recommendation Of the
Governor, that the parishes should be
compelled to pay The costs Of their own
criminal prosecutions, has been carried
| ont 90 far as tl1a Senate . concerned. By
The passage Of a bill 10 that effect. We
cannot but regard the measure a. al ua-
lust one, and We are assured that bat
little doubt exists Of its defeat In the
House, bat AT the same time, the lDIns-
tice is atoned for, TO 3 considerable e4-
tent, By another bill on the Same subject,
which also passed the Senate, and which
turns over to The parishes, the proceeds
Of ell forfeited bonds, feeognizsneesr fines,
ETC. Indeed we are inclined to believe
that these SOURCES Of paroehial revenue,
augmented as they will be b. making
the parishes directly interested in prose-
cutting and collecting tbem, viii nearly,
If not quite ON mp to The expenses en-
tailed BY the proposed Law. The collec-
tica Of a forfeited bond By the State, il
criminal cases. is a rare occurrence, but
it would not be so, If tbs parishes relied
upon such collections 10 indemnify them
for the cost of prosecuting Iaw-bbroakers.
RoTAr1os IN orF1oE.~By orr New
Orleans exchanges we see that Col. 5,
E. MARKS, late auditor Of State, has ea-
tered upon his duties as possra,astsssr IN
that city. Here is a splendid i~IIustra-
ton Of tie great Democratic principle of
rotation in office. Two terms as. Auditor
was not sufficient to ouencIl his intense
Democratic thirst Sc the post office in
New Orleans has to be added. Well /!
It's all right we suppose. Rotation IN
office does all we'll enough when The oats
want to get in but It wont do when the
sns. ought to be turned out. Verify, the |
adheroa.s Of John SlilelI have their re-
ward. .~ ~. Il
