s6S-The last session Of the Police Ju-
~ was one of the most harmonious that
we have witnessed for a long time. The
members appeared as if they began to
snuff the rising of the Mississippi, and
hence they left not a levee uuproyided
for, either with an appropriation to build
or repair it, or strict orders to the leyee
inspectors to have them in their respec-
tive wards well braced, in the event Of a
coming food. Better late than never.
The people will be thankful for what
was done on last Monday, but had it
been done even but one month sooner,
it would have been a great saving Of
expense. and a load of apprehension
taken off from the minds of the people.
It will all be right, provided we have
fair weather, the Mississippi keeps back
its food, and the inspectors and contrac-
tors 20 to work in earnest and lose not
o moment of time for the next month.
Throughout the States of Arkansas,
Mississippi, and the upper part of this
State, hundreds of miles of levces have
been constructed, and hence at an early
the first good rise will be forced
directly to the Gulf, its point Of destina-

HI
Our CoURr.-Once more another term
of our District Court has failed of being
held. Ere another term is reached, nine
months will have elapsed without the
administration of ~justic. The evil re-
sulting therefrom is too palpable to be
left without being remedied by the next
Legislature.
There were, however, in attendance
last Monday, several distinguished mem
bers of the bar. Amongst them were,
from the city of New Orleans, Messrs.
T. L. Bayne, G. S. Lacey, and F. II.
