Bellevue, which was once the parish
site of l3ossier parish--which is still
considered by some to be one of the
parishes of the State of Louisiana but
if this be so, it is only by a kind Of
fiction. 1t is not organized as other
parishes, has no police jury, no sheriff,
No coroner, no constable. but one JUS
tice of the peace. and 10 tax cellector;
but this state of affairs has resulted 10
quiet and peace, from the fact that
people considered it prudent to stay at
home and actright, as they had no pro.
lection from the law; In fact, the un-
worked roads became SO bad, that PEG.
pie could not pass abbdt to do much
harm, People herexweald nearly all
like to have officers IN the parish and
have a better-partof the lawsof Lolli-
siana executed, if Governor Warmdth
could find time tetdo such . favor; but
it is iaew too late to do such thing. as
the affairs of thespafish are so, entang-
led that the skill af recording angel
could scarcely arrange them.
