stated in our last, that we would abstain

E.0ui>ian:A St;a.e Map.

1t will he remembered that the LegiSla-
ture made an appropriation, for tho making
ard publication ola complete Map of the
State. The work it seems, has been going
Oh. and IS near completion. The Picoyu"e
says:
The map Of Louisiana. which is being
made by Capt. I. S. lluldce, is now nearly
ready for the engravcr, and by far the most
complete and accurate that has ever before
been produced. 1t is quite large, and Will
give a vast fund of valuable Information,
more, indeed, than we have ever seen II
any other map.
Capt. IIardce was particularly fortunate
in possessing a mass of statistics with re-
gard to the coast of Louisiana, etc, which
could scarcely have been obtained by any
one else, and which were of very material
assistance to him in arranging his map.
Almost the entire sum-, $4,000, which
was appropriated by the Legislature for the
purpose of securing this map, will be alb,
sorbcd in its publication.
We congratulate Capt. Hardee on the
perfect success of his important and ardu-
Gus task, and fully sympathise with his
pride in having produced a map which vii!
remain a lasting monument to his ability
and industry. and prove 4 valuable aqulsl,

Independence of the Judiciary

1--WE. learn from Geographic dispatches
from Monroe, as win be seen elsewhere IN
our paper, that the Supreme Court have
pronounced the law unconstitutional which
authorised the Governor to declare the of.
flee Of Parish Judge vacant, and make a
new appointment. This virtually settles
the controversy between Judge Garrigues
and ,Amreiu, aud retains the former in
office The same principle we think set
ties the question of the Shrievalty of this
Parish, and retains Capt. Hayes. The
Supreme Court also decided that another
act Of the Legislat Ire was unconstitutional,
in giving jurisdiction of sums over five
hundred dollars, to the Parish Courts. It
is a matter Of generalization throughout
the State, that The Supreme Court have
had the independence to annul acts of the
Legislature, in violation of the organic law.
It will greatly tend to check excessive and
wreckless legislation in the future. The
safety Of the country, lies in our indepen-
dent judiciary. This is more ~emphatically
the case, when the Executive is required to
carry even obnoxious laws into execution,
until they are pronounced unconstitutional
by the court Of the last resort. Where the
letter of the law is plain, he cannot disre-
gard its provisions, though apparently un.
constitutional. But the Supreme Court is
organised for the very purpose of keeping
the government within its constitutional
landmarks, and in proportion to the integri.
~ and independence of this tribunal, will
the people be protected in their rights and
liberties. Well therefore may the press re-
!o'ce, IN every evidence of independence

Land safes i'm st. Il aMdry.

No other portion of South Western Lou
isiana presents so inviting a field for the
investment Of capital in real estate, as st.
Landry. Lands that will yield from one
and a half to three hpgsheads of sugar pc,
acre, and well improved, are selling at pri
ces, that in many instances would scarcely
suffice to pay for the improvements.
In proof of what we say, we refer tc
sales Of plantations, made within the last
so days, by Mcssrs. Llttell, Bcntly and
CAN'T. Mr.. Isaac T. Littell sold a portion
of his plantation, 1000 acres, with stock o.
mules, growing crop of corn and cane
about $50 acres Of each to Mr.. Cook o.
New Orleans for 100000; n half cash.
the remainder on time. The improvements
consist ofa dwelling h use, larg brick su
gar. house with engine good as new
comfortable quarters for fifty laborers, with
all the necessary out buildings in complete
repair. Mr.. W. II. Bentley sold his plan.
tation on bayou Sackett, containing about
1900 acres well improved, with growing
crop of corn, cotton and cane, to Messrs.
Bloch Dupr6 6 Foard for $50, 900; part
cash and the remainder on time.
This week, Mr.. Ebert CAN'T sold his
plantation on bayou Waxia, with stock,
crop of corn and cane in the highest state
of cultivation, for $4,000 on the same
terms, to Bessrs. Barstow & Easton Of
New Orleans. The tract of lapd contains
$3.50 acres. and the improvements are first
rate. Last year the crop IN thiF place net
ted Mr.. CAN'T $4,000. Not one of the
purchasers, but with ordinary energy and
skill, will be able to double the purchase
price in two crops.
We invite the attention of those desiring
to invest, to these facts. We can accom-
modate any number that may come, and
will guarantee a kind reception and a
hearty welcome to all who do come.

b GIVE 1ouR CHILD A PAPER.-A
child beginning toread becomes delighted
with a newspaper, because he reads of
names and things which are familiar.
and he will progress accordingly. A
newspaper in one year is worth a quar-
ater's schooling :oa child. Every father
must consider that information is con-
nected with advancement. The mother
of a family, being one of its heads, and
having more immediate charge of the
children, should herself be instructed.
A mind occupied becomes fortified a.
gainst the ills of life, and: is braced for
emergency. Children amused by read
ing or study. are, Of course, more censid-
crate and-easily governed. 4a.5 n
