POLICE JURY.

In anothercolurna Of today paper We publish
the proceedings of The Police Jury, to whose eff
fcient and gentfcmanly> Clerk, Mr.. L..V. Porche,
we are indebted for a copy. We are pleased to
see that this body have, on motion of Mr.. Robt.
J. Barrow. converted the road leading from
Bayou Crosse Tete to the Atchafalaya river.
into a separate road district, and Mr.. W. D.
Carter appointed overscer. We are of the
opinion that this move will prove beneficial
to the parties directly Interested, and also to the
Parish generally, and we hope at no distant day
to see the New Road and the road leading from
here to Bayou Crosse Tete placed in the same
position. That the present system of working
the roads is deficient no one will pretend to deny
who has had occasion to travel them during the
last few weeks.
We are not sufficiently acquainted with the
present system to point to any defect, and only
make these remarks that it may attract attention
of the members Of the Police Jury, and lead to
the discussion and investigation, at the June ses-
sion, of this long neglected and highly important
subject.

4 CHANCE TO GET CUBA.-The latest

X CHANCE TO GET CUBA.-The latest
news from Europe is that the Spanish
Government will refuse to give satisfac-
ton to the United States for the outrage
which its officials in Cuba perpetrated
upon our mail-steamcr, Ell Dorado, ia fir.
ing into it, endangcring life, and subse-
quently rifing it, in a piraticaI manner,
of its mails. This outrage upon the
high seas u Government (says the
Cincinnati Enquirer) is bound, by a
sense of national honor, to have atoned
for. But the last and the present Ad-
ministration have made p~ersevering
efforts to that end. If the Spanish Gov
eminent persists in it's refusal, it may
lead to important results, and give us a
chance to get Cuba in an honorable
manner, by national conquest.

The CATHOLIC CHURCH ON DRUNKENNESS.

The CATHOLIC CHURCH ON DRUNKENNESS.
Bishop Bayley, the Catholic Bishop OF
New Jersey, has issued a manifesto,
bringing the machinery of the Church to
bear against the vice OF drunkenness
His letter on the subject has been read
in all the churches, in which he calls at
tention to two classes-the drunkards
themselves, and the dealers in liquor.
Leaving to the pastors the choice of the
particular means to be used, he suggests
that each should keep a list of the drum
kards and liquor-dcalers in his church.
He says
| am determined to make use of the
most severe measures against all who
are addicted to this scandalous and des-
tructivc vice and if they continue iii
the practice of it, they must do it as
outcasts from the Catholic Church, who
have no right to the name of Catholic
while they live, nor to Christian burial
when they die.

MusIc.-As if to dispel the monotony which
has perradcd our neighborhood for some time
past, two~i tinerant harpers stopped in front of our
office on Thursday evening. and treated a crowd
Of leisure gentlemen to what Mey, perhaps. called
music, but which to Us, sounded just about as
sweet as the filing of a crosscut saw. They were
not Of the stripe Of those who " play Oh a harp
of a thousand strings" but, from their bronz,d
compilations, were evidently a pair of as genuine
~lazaroui as could be found in the city of Naples
of q rainy day. They were poorly equipped, too,
not having so much as a monkey to assist them
in their performance, particularly that interesting
feat which consists in passing the hat around
So, when one of the sturdy vagabonds undertook
to perform that ceremony himself. most OF the
audience remembered that they had important
business elsewhere; the consequence was that
the crop of dimes was rather short.
If they are not mope successful anywhere else
they will be compelled to take a desperate reso
lutioa-to go to work. 1t would be well if they
did.

occupation was that of teaching embroid-

mission seems to have been that of tam
perlng with our slave population. On

well calculated to create a spirit If
