John OrsbOrn's Court House.


An act was passed by the Legisla-
ture, last winter, at the instance of
John Orsborn, of this town, laying Il
tax of twenty-five thousand dollars on
the people of this Parish, to be levied
and collected now. This act was pub
ished, last week in the Republican pa
per of this town, by Orsborn. 1t APP
pears that the money is for the purpose
OF building Court House, and Ors-
born appoints three commissioners to
receiye proposals for building, aud the
commissioners in the same paper adj
yertise for proposals.
We do not propose, at present, to do
more than announce to the tax payers
of this Parish the startling facts stated
above. 1t is in the knowledge of every
one that the Police Jury determined,
some months ago, to rebuild the Court
House, and in order that it might be
done with as little cost as possible, aud
without waste of public monies, that
body advertised, through committee
of citizens, for proposals, giving the
simplest time and opportunity for com
petition, aud the work was awarded to
the lowest bidders, who have given
bond for the faithful performance of
the contract in it's minutest particulars.
The Police Jury find they can get the
work done for nineteen thousand nine
hundred dollars, and in order to light
en- the burthen upon the tax payers,
they have spread the collection of the
tax over two years. The fOrmenter of
this new scheme is not satisfied that
the tax payers shall have this respite.
He wants the whole collected now of
his appropriation, aud not satisfied
with that much oppression, LAS con-
trived to get larger sum designated
for the work. We are aware that not
little dissatisfaction was felt, in some
parts of the Parish, at the action of the
Police jury in attempting to build, at
present, even though they taxed for
only part OF the cost each year, but
what will our overburthened people
say to the conduct of their District
Judge, who is not satisfied that they
shall be called upon for one bite of the
cherry at time, but insists that they
shall swallow the whole at gulp, even
slough it choke them.
It is said that he has already an
uounced that the contractors with tie
Police Jury, shall not do the work, as
ne will grant an injunction to prevent
them. He will not, if he can by the
exercise of his judicial power prevent,
it, let the Parish build its own Court
House at the lowest bid, but will have
1t done under his supervision for an in
creased price. the whole of which is to
be wrung out of the people at once.
He may accomplish his nefarious
plot perhaps. As old Tom Richie
used to say in his newspaper, nous GER
soMs.

The Allen Monument.

We call attention to an announce
naent in another column with reference
to the monument proposed to be reared
over the grave of the lamented Henry
Watkins Allen. 1t needs no appeal to
the people of Louisiana to respond to a
call for such an object. The name OF
Allen is dear to the heart of every man,
woman and child in the State. For
them he labOred, and for them he sac
rifced his noble life. 1t is only asked
that some fit monument shall mark his
resting place in the land hes loved SO
well, which shall commemorate his
virtues and testify to the esteem in
which his memory is held amongst us.
Let every one, especially the women,
who were ever the objects of his spe-
cial care, take hold of the matter ear
nestly, and the, monument will be COM
pleted within very short time.

influence and patronage of the Federal
and State government. This was ow-
ing to. three courses; first, thorough
organization second. the selection Of
candidates in whom the people have
every confidence and trust; third, uni
ted, harmonious action. It was these
facts that alarmed the advenfnrers and
renegades that the sceptor was depart
ing from them and that their days Of
,nisrule were drawing to q close. To
prevent an exposure Of their warning
power they resorted to desperate means
to prevent full and fair election. But
they failed. all their efforts to frighten
the colored voters from the polls were
Of no avail. Of the l46.39O registered
voters in rl,e State lis, 1886 exercised the
right Of suffrage. And of the votes
cast, the Democratic candidates receeiv-
I'd 79, 23I, being majority OF the whole
vote Of the State, as well as of that
cast. This fact would seem to Indicate
that the people are willing to contribute
to the success Of the Democratic party
"against.a cHmmnn and formidable en-
envy" This was the result Of the se-
lection Of good men and true as candi-
dates, thorough organization. and unit
ed and determined action. Like eau
ses will produce like effects.
In view of these facts and figures, l
am unable to discover that there is any
necessity for third party organization,
unless the continuation Ofthe dominant
party in power ia desirable. As the
conservative editors admit that the
emancipated vote is monopolized by
the Radicals, they must certainly ex-
pect to either wholly monrpolize the
Dpmocratic party or Az weaken it as to
insure the sncces Of the Radicals.

4 correspondent makes the following sug-
gestons:
"The question of an adjourned session, or
of a special session OF the Legislature, is be
ing seriously debated by many of the mem
bers. 1t is generally understood that the
Valuation Commissioners will not be ready
to report until well into the month of March,
and it seems wholly unnecessary that the
Legislature should remain in session until
that time to DISPOSE of the necessary business
of the term. 1t can just as well be finished
up by the middle of February, and months
time be saved to the members, and not little
cost to the State. The special session or
adjourned session, as the case may be, would
occupy no more time after the report of the
Commissioners is received than it would if the
present session is continued. If the present
session is continued it will be necessary to
have something to occupy the time and there
is danger of uncalcd for legislation and UNI
necessary tinkering of the laws, and undoubt-
eddy it would be better for all concerned
the legislators, the people, and the treasury,
for the Legislature to attend to the necessary
duties of the session, adjourn and go home,
session when the committee reports"
