upon his Lrind, and kept him wakeful both
day and night. When, a few weeks ago,
Arch bishop Kenrick, offSt. Louis, visited
Bishop Duggan, he advised o change Of

term of the District Court, now inses-
sion, desire to make tlie following state
ment. to which we are willing to sub
scribe under oath--viz:
That about the 18th of last March,
we met Judge Orsborn in file Clerks
office, and asked him how we Should
proceed to draw a Jury for the May
Term of Court for said Parish, afsd the.
number to be drawn. At the the time
of the meeting aforesaid (which was
~casnal) the act creating (as we beiieved)
the Parish of Grant, Had been promni-
gated, hence the following discussion
The matter was brought up bs 6ne
of the number, suggesting that n correct
list Of the registration had been drawn
off from the Registration Books of the
Parish of Rapides, of October, 1865,
and although the creation OF the new
Parish Of Grant bad taken off two n
tire Precints (those of Piaisance and
TYSON that the correct was wonlh be
to draw from the entire registration list
of 1868, as then made ont. This ground
was taken by the entire party signing
this statement. We we're opposed hS
his Honor Judge Orsborn, who after
ordering one mildred and fifty as the
number to be drawn, said that nnfess
the names of the persons residing iii the
Parish of Grant we're withdrawn from
the Box he (Orstorn} would set aside
the Jury so drawn from the whole
number as Illegal. His manne was
preenbtory and believing rs We did
that public Justice required . Jury for
the preseht term Of the Court, we
waived Il opinion reluctantly think
ing it not best to draw a Jury that had
already been passed upon as informal.
Accordingly we drew the Jury as pro-
scribed BY Judge 0rsbdrn, throwing
out the entire pIrecints Of Plaisance and
Tyson unless We know positively that
persons namesfsdEd on those poll books,
resided in the Parish of Rnpides- .'If
there was a doubt exclude the names'
