Saturday,:;::Deoember IA, 1867.

u The special term of the Dis.
trict Court of this parish adjourn
ed on yesterday after session Of
nearly three weeks. We are graf
flied to state that His Honor,
Judge Weems, has disposed of a
very large amount of business.
Besides many acquitals, on last
Saturday, eleven persons, all freed
men, were sentenced to various
terms of Imprisonment in the pen
itentiary and parish Jail. This
will measurably relieve the parish
of the great expense, which it has
had to bear, on account of crimi.
nails incarcerated in the parish
prison, an expense which our PEG,
die are little able to bear.
Heretofore we have had occa.
sion to comment upon the failure
of our Courts, but now we take
pleasure in bearing testimony to
the patience and endurance anG
fidelity of Judge Weems during
the term of our Court just closed
He has dispatched business rapid
~, and the only persons that cal
complain are those unfortunates
who owe more debts than the,
can pay. We repeat the languag
of inspiration, and say '.well don
good and faithful servant"
r. J. Looney, ESQ, acting Dis
trict Attorney, by his ability, eff
cheney and impartiality also cor
tributed greatly to the dispatch G

u In our notice last week of
Judge Weems' decision as to theun.
constitutionalty of the cotton tax
law of this State, we were in error
somewhat as to data: His Honor
has decided that the tax of one
dollar upon every four hundred
pounds of cotton was unconstitu-
tional, and hence that the tax
cannot be collected. The case
was tried upon an injunction upou
the Sheriff inhibiting him from
collecting said tax. His Honor
decided that the provision of the
revenue law of 1865 levying a tax
of one dollar upon every four hun
dred pounds of cotton was repug-
naut to the 124th Article of the
Constitution of 1864, and there,
fore void.

70 The South will never be
rich and prosperous again until
we have a sufliciency of white men
to labor in the place of negroes.
No matter what the politics of the
country may be, the negro will
never make tirSt-class laborer as
a freedmen. All Of us who have
any intimate acquaintance with
his character, know this full well.
The overthrow of Radical despot-
ism ard the establishment of
the Constitution, would greatly
relieve us it is true, but the South
can never boast of actual, perma-
nent prosperity, until her fields
are cultivated with the white
mans skill and labor. 1t is asked
when this will be? The answer
to this question depends a great
deal upon our own action. If we
remain in inactivity and make no
effort to bring it about, many long
years of trouble and distress may
first pass away Vicksburg Tele,

Judging from the signs of the |

OF them being any better so long

not SOW, neither do they labor,
nor are they engaged in any occu-

that the country is so impoyerish-

! before when there are so many
lazy white men and negroes in
every little village, town and city
throughout the South. The ne
groes idle away their time in hunt
ing, fishing, &c, and the most of
them when offered work will not do
it, and the farmers have considera-
bic difficulty in making contracts
with them. Let the planters adopt
a different course from the one
which they have pursued since
the close Of the war, and that is
by employing white men to do
their work, or farm out the large
plantations to immigrants for a
term of years, and not depend
wholly and solely upon free negro
labor to raise cotton. We know
many farmers, in this State, and
we are sorry to say some in this
+ Parish who have always depended
upon his heecy majesty, King Cot
ton, not only to supply their fami-
lies with clothing, but even with
