BELLEVUE, LA,
Saturday ,::::::::::::::April 8, 1870.

J Our Legislature has been
very kind to cur citizens. All
of us now that can read and
write and take the oaths re-
quired by law can hold and en-
joy Office. Besides the parish
offices formerly established we
have now in addition, the Su-
peFyisor of Registration, with
perhaps thirty or forty cemmis-
sioners of election, enc chief
constable and a dozen deputies
or subs, a parish school board
Of five directors and district
boards of three, each board
having q treasurer to toll the
public money. 1t seems that
weare getting a leetle too much
machinery for the machine to
work well. Why could not the
Sheriff and his deputies do the
werk of the chief and deputy
constablesa The parish treas
urer could do the work of the
parish directors as he did for
merly, and the justice, police
Juror and ward constable might
constitute the ward district
directors. The sheriff could be
supervisor of registration, and
the commissioners of election
might be appointed by the po-
lice jury, or electors ON day of
election as formerly.
We rather think that our
Radical rulers have the idea
that they can retain power by
means of an army Of civil Off
GERS. Such was the idea that
Louis Philippe had, when he
was consolidating, as he
thought, his kingly power in
France. But his policy was flu
tile. May the Radicals meet
with his fate.

Our Police Jury failed on
Monday last to have q quorum,
whereby many were put to in
convenience. Certain jurors
have ceased ATTENDANCE at any
meetings. 1t would be better
that they should resign in Or
der that others might be ap-
pointed who would take a little
interest in affairs. Ward seven
is still without a member. If
citizens of that ward would
propose q person for appoint
Ment who could and would ac-
cept, we are pretty sure that
the Governor would appoint
him. 1t is to every ones in

partments. The parish gov
eminent is very important, and
effects as more nearly than any

The Milwaukee Wisconsin ex-
plains that it is the custom in that
State to print the Governors mes
sagein several foreign languages,
not to accommodate citizens of for
eign birth, but that it may be sent
abroad as an advertisement of the
condition and resources of the
State, SO that emigrants may be
induced to make their homes
there.

They expedite criminal law
business faster North than here.
A murder committed in one
month is often punished in the
next. This should be so here,
if we ever hope to get rid of
Judge Lynch.
ButJudge Lynch seems more
popular with us than any other
officer of government and per
haps justly SO, for he more of
ten does justice in furnishing
crimes than the other Judges.
However, we are astonished
that the lawyers do not use
greater energy in opposition to
his Court, for they never gel
fees therein. Instead of thwart-
ing justice in the common
Courts, in every conceivable
way, they should rather expe.
dite it, in order to prevent cases
being thrown into Lynch's
| Court.

Whether banks are beneficial

Whether banks are beneficial
or not to a country, admits of
much argument. But we have
long ago quit considering ques-
tons in a theoretical point of
view. They may not benefit
the nation as a whole, but this
is certain, that that section of
country that has banks pres
pers at the expense of the Sec
lions without. A United States
bank with a capital of a million
dollars would be profitable to
the stockholders, if established
at Shreveport. They would
get 5 per cent. on their depos-
tied bonds, and lend their bills
at 8per cent, and buying and
selling exchange ought to more
than pay expenses. This in
come would go to enrich
Shreveport, in which our inter
est centres, while now really
so much is paid out by our sec
tiens to the banks generally.
Money greases the wheels of
commerce. If money could be
borrowed at reasonable inter
est on good paper whenever
wanted, our merchants would
be vastly benefited. They
could lay in stocks even if their
customers were tardy in set
Ting their dues.
The good effect would reach
the farmers in more ways than
one. -.44
One wishes to buy a farm
and has but little money, The
seller would willingly take his
notes with the vendors lien, for
they could SO easily be sold in
the market ut a reasonable dis
count.
We ought-to seek every way
to avoid paying such heavy
taxes to New York and New
England. Let us have a Bank
and the various insurance COM
panies, of our own.

Another thing, of minor. inn
portance, much needed in our
section is an agricultural paper.
The papers of this class pub
lished North are worse than
worthless to us. They have
been a cause of much loss to us
and will continue so to be un-
less their influence is counter
acted. Articles on underdrain-
ing, ON hedging, cheese max
ing, on orchards, the small
grains and a dozen other sub
jscts, addle the pates of our
people. Our climate and pro.
ducts are so different from the
North, and even the Eastern
cotton States, that agriculture
must be studied from our own
experience. Every ones expe
rience could be made availabl,
to all only through the medium
of an agricultural paper.

of Texas into several
States, proposes that Louisiana
west of Red River should be
annexed to the new neighbor-.
ing State to be carved off Tex
DIS on the East. Now we of
Bossier would strenuously ep-
pose this, for we are not yet
ready to be cut loose from our
old friends, Shreveport, Caddo
and DeSoto. Where they go
we wish to 60, and with them
we would cast our lot. Nearly
all the trade from our parish
goes to Shreveport, and in the
future when better roads are
made and more water commu-
nication opened, she may ex-
pect it to be greatly increased.
For Shreveport to be placed
under a State jurisdiction diff
ferent from ours, would cause
us much trouble and vexation of
a similar character to what the
Texans sometimes experience
at that town. .....a
Again, Red River and its
bottom ought to be under one
jurisdiction, if any improve
ment to navigation or the land
can ever be effected. What q
perpetual war would be ear
ried on between the two sides
of the river. This side would
dam up a bayou, the ether
side would cut it. One side
would dredge out a channel
and the other side place RATS
or wrecks in it. There could
scracely be any concert of ac-
ton between the two jurisdic-
tons as to what improvements
should be made. Therefore, it
is clear to us that a better plan
would be to erect the Red Riy-
er country into a State itself,
especially if Shreveport is to
have any hopes of being a State
capitol.
All Northwest Louisiana and
the Southwest angle of Arkan-
sas with a large slice of Texas,
should form the new State.
The old idea that rivers should
bound States, is a very bad one
for the Southwest. The Mis-
sissippi, Red, Trinity and Bra
EOS have wide bottoms of fer
tile land, and should not, there
fore, be in different jurisdic-
tons.
But while we are wrangling
about new States, the necessi-
ty for any States at all has
ceased to exist. The State
government is nothing now but
a cumbersome adjunct to the
machine.
It is similar to what Watts
steam condensing apparatus
would be to Il locomotive, pref.
ty perhaps and useful in theory
but utterly injurious in prac.
tive.
Shreveport should look more
closely at home for her sup
port. He trade from distanr
parts Of Texas is only tempora
ry, and as railroads are bull
through the country, trade cen
tres will be formed every few
miles. She should control ;

Many years ago in what is now q
fiourishing city, lived a stalwart block
smith, fond of his pipe and his joke.
He was also fond .of.his blooming
daughter, whose many graces ensnared
the affections of a young printer. The
couple aftera season of billing and COO
ing engaged themsclvs,' and nothing
but the consent of the young lady s
parents prevented their union. Toob-
tain this an interview was arranged
and the typo prepared little speech to
admonish and convince the old man,
who sat enjoying his pipe in perfect
content. The typo dilated on the fact
of their long friendship, their mutual
attachment, their hopes for the future,
and live topics; and taking the daugh-
ter by the hand, he said IL am

transplant this lovely flower from its
parent bed''-but his feelings overcame
him, and he forgot the-remainder o. fhis
oratorical flourish and finally wound
up with, ''from its parental bed to nv
own" The father keenly relished this
discomfiturs of the suitor,and removing
his pipe and blowing cloud of smoke,
replied: "Well, young man, l don't
know as I have any objections, proyi-
ded you marry the girl tirst.''
