SALISBURY AND ANTI-sAULsBURY IN
KENT

Tho Democrats of Kent County are. for the
present campaign, utterly divided The sauls-
bury ring has put one ticket in the field, sup
ported by perhaps majority Of the voters in
the party, but sustained by very few Of its pron-
inent and influential members while the Indie
pendent Democracy have also nominated a full
ticket, which has the support of very many of
those who have been known as the party leaders.
The fight is now. as between these two wings.

emitting furious bellows of rage, and tearing M

and as usual will make them sweat copiousy in

they have treasured mp long list Of the defeats,
insults and contempts, Which the Ring lave

This is high praise. These gentlemen are in

We clip the following from an
editorial correspondence of the
Planters (La.) Banner:
Politically, Western Virginia is
improving. Great numbers of
Republicans are in favor of enfran-
chising all who have been disfran
chised. That is the great issue
with the people here. We think
the liberal policy will prevail.
And all parties clamor for honest
men to fill the Offices. The PEG.
pie everywhere, Republicans as
well as conservatives, are tired of
the reign of official robbers. To
us, from Western Virginia stand
point, the future looks rather
promising. We talked with some
Republicans who are evidently in
earnest in their opposition to cor.
ruption, and in their purpose to
have the white people of the
South enfranchised.
In Parkersburg we came across
an emigration society, started to
favor emigration to a State further
South. We give them some circu-
lars and maps, and made arrange
ments to open a correspondence
with them. We have their con
stitution and the objects Of the
society.

LOUISIANA NURSERIES.-We
have before called attention to the
nurseries of Messrs. Samuels s.
StOner, located one mile below
town. These gentlemen are deter
mined that their grounds shall be
a pleasant resort for visitors, and
with that view are charging aud
making preparation to beautify
them. The folly of giving prefer
ence to Northern plants over
those grown in the South has long
been demonstrated by the expert,
ence of thousands who have
thoroughly tested the matter.
And yet with all this, agents for
Northern nurseries can humbug
our people to an unlimited extent.

The Bossier Banner pays a
graceful compliment to the edi-
tor of this paper. We could not
have expected unkind words
from Billy Scanland; it was in
our office that he learned "the
art preservative of all arts"
BY the way, we see that he
is a candidate for Representa-
tive in the State Legislature
He would make an honest and
faithful member, and we wish
him success.-[CaddO Gazette.
Endorsement from one who
has known us from our boy
hood, is indeed flattering; and
1t is with a degree of more than
ordinary pride that we thank
our old friend, Col. Battle, for
this earnest of friendship. We
hope to ever prove worthy of
the confidence and esteem of
those who know us best.

BELLEVUE, LA,
Saturday, sept.:::::::::::17, 1870.

There has been a general Jail
delivery at this term of Court.
VIM. Cooper, charged with muir
der, was acquitted on ground
of justification. Lynch and
Hamilton, freedmen, were dis
charged by the mol pressing of
the case against them. These
freedmen were charged with
the murder of Lawrence, a boat
peddler, several years ago.
Several were tried for the of
tense and from the evidence adj
duced, Lynch would have been
acquitted. Three were found
guilty, Hamilton among them.
A new trial was granted to him
by the Supreme Court, and
from what has been learned
since his trial, it is pretty sure
that he was not guilty. No
witnesses appeared against
them, or could be had.
These men had q chance to
have escaped from Shreveport
Jail when so many prisoners
broke out, but they did not
take advantage Oft, believing
we suppose, that their limo
cence could be proven.

This week was the regular
Court term of the Parish Court,
but ON account of the session of
the District Court, no Parish
Court has been held.
The Parish Judge is allowed
the option under such circum-
stances to hold Court or not,
and he elected not to do so for
the reasons that the officers of
both Courts were the same, and
many suitors and attorneys
would have business in both
Courts at the same time.
The next court term for the
parish Court will commence on
second Monday in November
next, unless there be a called
term.

The war news this week is
more favorable to peace. The
Russians seem to have stopped
in their son to Paris" and are
entertaining propositions of
settlement. The great difficult
ty will likely be the establish
ment Of the French Republic,
which is a thing feared by all
the Kings of Europe. What a
pity it is that France could not
get a dynasty of fools like the
Guelph family of England, so
that she might be ostensibly a
kingdom, but really a republic.
The King of Italy is about to
gobble up the last remains of
the Pope's dominions, and will
likely establish his capitol at
Rome. France has at last ia
ken its leg out of the italian
boot; so Italy may be united
and independent.

Again, we have to record the
failure of the Police Jury for
want of quorum, Six men,
bers compose the body, and of
these but four have been at
tending any meetings of late
date /; therefore if one of these

there is no quorum.

will mend matters in this re-
spect by there being chosen a
full board, each one of whom
is willing and able to attend
the sessions.

Our Grand Jury system is
fast giving way and will soon
be a thing of the past, if legisla-
ton and court decisions con-
tinue in the future as for a few
years past.
The Legislature and the
Courts have been putting con-
tinually additional powers into
the hands of District Attorneys.
Tt is now their bounden duty
to file informations in all cases
where the knowledge ola crime
is brought to them by affidavits
of witnesses, and these infor-
nations are to stand in lieu of
indictments of a Grand Jury.
They have been extremely
loath to exercise this extensive
power, but they will have it to
do, if crime is to be punished
at all. A decision of the Su-
preme Court last year is to the
effect that any grand jury is
made illegal by there being one
member of it unqualified, and
this illegality can be taken adj
vantage of to free a prisoner
before or after conviction. This
illegality is quite likely to hap
pen frequently. Added to this
are illegalities from defects in
drawing the jury, in organizing
it, in keeping records of it and
its acts, and perhaps in Other
ways. A prisoner suffers him.
self tried ; if acquitted, he is
free forever; if convicted, he
arrests the Judgment, quashes
the indictment and goes free
Some additional Legislation
in regard to Grand Juries mus
be had, else the institution vii
die out aud be supplanted by
District Attorneys, or more
probably by Judge Lynch.
