This we copy from the Opelousas Journal:

This we copy from the Opelousas Journal;
A gentleman engaged in the warehouse
business at Washington, the general ship
ping point in this parish, says that the corn
brought to this parish from New Orleans
averages about four or five hundred sacks
per week. One week this year fifteen or
sixteen hundred sacks arrived on one boat.
This importation of corn lasts for seven or
eight months in the year. The whole amount
of corn imported during this time would
amount to fifteen or sixteen thousand sacks.
The cost to the purchaser is from two dol
lars and fifty to three dollars and fifty cents
per sack, and the cost to the parish during
the year is at the least calculation $4,000
to $4,000. We are called an, agricultural
people, perhaps ironically, and we complain
of heavy taxation. Now this taxation for
corn the politicians have nothing to do with.
1t is a heavy burden, and the planters
ought to remove it.

or be foresworn. Courts are instituted for the
purpose, among other things, of authorize.
lively informing us what the law is. To
those announcements the public must look
fer a true exposition of the statute. The
citizen may not set up against these either
his own private judgment or the writings OF
irresponsible and sometimes venal common
tatOrs. Such writings are ignus .fatui;
misleading the unwary and Turing the vic
tins to doom.
l am advised by the District Attorney
that, in addition to the cases arising under
the enforcement act, a case of alleged rob-
berry of the mails, and one of mutilating or
altering the currency, and two or three
cases of minor infraction of the revenue
laws will be submitted to you. Otfenses
against the integrity of the postotice and
the currency are justly considered fragrant
crimes. They are committed deliberately
and with predetermination. These traits,
when they accompany transgressiOn, are
regarded as strong evidences of willful de-
pravity. You must see to it that the guilty
are brought to the bar of justice.
l hardly suppose it necessary, gentlemen,
that | should instruct you in all the detail
of your duties as grand jurors. 1t requires
the consent of twelve of your number to
find an indictment. When found it should
be signed by your foreman, Endorsed "a
true BILL and brought into court. You
are organized on basis of secrecy, not to
indict, but more surely to inquire, more
cautiously to present. What passes in your
jury room is to be kept within your own
breasts. You are not allowed to share it's
secrets with any one. You can compel the
attendance of witnesses and have the power
of the court to aid you if necessary. Your
foreman administers Oaths to witnesses,
and it is perjury to swear falsely before
you. The District Attorney may conduct
Ordinately to the instructions now given
you by the court, advise you as to the law
OF case; but you must settle the questions
OF fact by your own convictions of what is
right.
Such, briefly stated are your powers and
duties. l summon you to their exercise in
the spirit and according to the letter OF
your recorded oath. BE loving to man, but
be loyal to truth. Pity the transgressor,
but magnify the commandment Be vigil
liant to ascertain and fearless to declare.
Present no one for envy, hatred. or
malice Let these dark passions shrink
abashed from your presence; they have no
lawful place at your council board. Do not
leave ANY one unrepresented for fear.
favor, affection, hope of reward, or gain"
be these base motives trampled to death on
the instant of their appearing. Present
all things truly as they shall come to your
knowledge, to the best of your understand
ing" Brighten the pathway of duty with
the tOrch-light of conscience. Thus shall
YOU aid in securing the just effect of the
laws; thus shall you maintain individual
safety; thus preserve the general welfare.

NEW ORLEANS. MAY .. ISL.


EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
The facts connected with the case of Dr.
Everitt before Recorder Staes have never
yet been published. The testimony proved
and the charges in the doctors revolver
corroborated the fact, that only three
charges had been discharged: whereas, the
son of DIR. MERCER swore to a most ma
licious falsehoOd, supported by his old
father in court, that he saw two shots fred
at the man who fell on the banGuette, one
being fired at him as he lay down, and that
two other shots were fired at the man who
eventually ran toward Dauphine street
down the middle of Canal street. The lat
ter Is true, but the former is VIGOROUSLY
false, and lays father and son open to ar
rest on charge of malicious perjury. which
l hope to see executed.
After Steinhardt had taken off his hat
which persons behind saw him do. and
drawn out cOwhide coiled up therein,
which distinctly saw, as they fronted me
obliquely, and saw him give it to Switzer,
he put on his hat, and both advanced stimuli
taneously upon him, Steinhardt throwing
back his coat, from which he drew pistol.
Expecting instant death and eternal dis
grace, the doctor rapidly drew his revolver
with his right hand, his left hand holding
his cane. In drawing it, as he stood upon
the step of NictOr's, he drew it in hurry,
having his right thumb upon the cock of
the revolver. and in trying to pull the cock
back with his unassisted right thumb and
hand, the cock slipped before he could COM
mand its aim, and it was prematurelv dis
charged. 1t was in this way that the bullet
struck the edge of the solid granite wall of
Flctors, and dividing itself, spread out and
hit Switzer on one side of his neck and on
the other side his face, the piece of the
bullet found in his brain not being larger
than the third of the whole bullet.
No other part could be found, nor the whole
OF bullet, and it is well known by military
surgeons that no bone or any other part of
the human body will divide a bullet into
fragments. The intention of the doctor
from the first was to fire over their heads
to scare them off, and but for this acct
dental shot there would have been no mis-
hap, nor did he know until two hours after |
he had delivered himself up to Officer
Maysfeld that such lamentable occur |
renee had taken place.
In submitting the case before the First
District Court, Recorder Staes remarked
that the testimony proved that the quarrel
had been forced ON DR.. Everitt: but the
reason why he sent him up ON the highest
charge was said by some court attendants
to have been caused by the clamor of the
Jews, who threatened to turn Staes out of
his office if he reduced the charge against
1lm. ANAKREON.

The Washington Patriot, opposing the
treaty, says:

The Washington Patriot, opposing the
treaty, says:
One of the greatest sufferers by the Ala
bama was Mr.. George b. Upton, we'll
known merchant of Massachusetts, As the
new treaty comes directly home to such
claimants, while it may be theoretically dis
cussed IN other quarters, he has examined
Its practical operation with special care in
all its various bearings. After the most thor
ough investigation, Mr. Upton regards the
arrangement as surrender of every prin-
clple heretofore asserted, and as furnishine
no substantial redress for the injured par
ties. According to his calculation. taking
the terms OF the treaty and the margin of
the time allowed to the arbitrator as the
basis OF an estimate, they might cover a pc
rod OF four years and six months before
rendering decision. And in the event of
deciding for the liability of the British GOV
ernment another year would have TO he
added for the award of the assessors. In
all five years and a half before a dollar
could be handled by claimant, even if
both tribunals were friendly.
Of course Mr.. Upton assumes what all
experience has demonstrated, that the ar
bitratIon will prolong its existence to the
last hour possible, and he might 90 further,
by anticipating an extension, such as is now
required for the Mexican commission sit
ting in Washington. With nearly three
fourths of the time provided by the treaty
for adiudicating the claims expired, the |
work is only commenced in that commits |
sion, and what has been accomplished will |
be all sacrificed. unless Mexico and the Uni |
ed States should agree to add a year or two |
more to its insufficient life.

The New York Commercial SAYS:

Simms, colored, member of the Georgia
Legislature, has had his feelings soothed by
the recovery of eighteen hundred dollars
damages against the Richmond, Fredericks
burg and Potomac Railroad Company for
ejecting him from the cars. Southern rail-
road companies are the very last to learn
that the nation has shaken off the old
Adam and put ON the new man, and
although he is colored man, he is not too
proud to gather up what loose cash the
folly of his Caucasian contemporaries may
throw in his Way
