A man who cheats in small measure
is measureless rogue. If he gives
short measure in wheat then he is q
rogue in grain. If in whiskey then
he is rogue in spirit. Ii he gives a
bad title to land, then he is a rogue
indeed. And ii he cheats whenever
he can. he is indeed, in spirit, in grain
a measureless scoundrel.

FACTS FOR TIE GRAND JCRY

who are now sitting us n court of i'll
quiry, is directed to the following
judgement rendered by Henry S.
Welton, on the 23d of February:
The State VS.. Joseph Town & ais
After hearing the evidence, the court
is of opinion that William Bristol
and Thomas Raynham are not gull
t., it i, therefore ordered that they
be discharged.

Town did strike Sam johnson, lie is
adj'1dged utility Of the crime charg-
cd and ordered to pay q fine Of Five

from this date and remain in custo-
dy until this judgement is complied
with.
This in West Fcliciana, February,
23d 1872.
H. S. WELToN,
PARISH JUDGE.
We charge that the Parish Judge
had no legal right in the above case
to fine the party accused for the fol-
lowing reasons
The parties accused appeared be-
fore Judge Welton, in his capacity
Of Committing Magistrate. All he
could properly do was to send the
accused before the Grand Jury u
the evidence was sufficient to war.
rant it. -
Eren should the parties accused
have waived trial by Jury, Judge Wei
ton could only try them, when the
Parish Court was in regular session
When the accused was tried by
Judge Welton, it WAS done in Cham
bers, and his judgement is therefore
an act of oppression.

Tennessee River improvements.

After unsuccessful attempts OH the part
of Congressman Garrett, on the 18th, to
have the Tennessee River Appropriation
increased, the following proceedings were
had:
Mr.. Maynard-I move to amend the
amount appropriated by making it $780,
600" instead of 1895, 600"

ment, | will say feel considerable inter

entire length of my district and past my

horses, drink out of it. AS I remarked on
a previous occasion, the attention of Con-
gress was directed to this improvement
forty years ago. a report was made in
the time of the administration of John
Quincy Adams, a report which is now on
the files OF Congress land work commenced

NIT that for this important work, SO es-
sential to the commerce of several large
States, the $4,000 which L ask in this
amendment is certainly not an immOdest
request on our part. | trust there will be
no objection te giving US at least that sum.
The question was then taken on the
amendment moved by Mr.. Maynard and

THE MEN WHO ARE FOR GRANT

We have only to invite our readers to
look ever the names that figured in the
great Grant demonstration in New York
last Wednesday, to satisfy them where the
SOLID men of the commercial METROPOLIS of
the continent stand in the coming cam
paign. The men who care nothing for
place or its emoluments, but who through
their brains and pockets control the great
financial, commercial and industrial in
terests of the Western world, are with our
honest President, and mean to do their
utmost to place in his hands for
another four years the destinies
of the nation. Side by side with
these representative men, we find
the twenty thousand members of the
Worllingmens' Central Union, who, in the
words of their President, will vote and
work for the reelection of Gen. Grant,"
as well as the ten times twenty thousand
other workingmen whose voices could not
be heard in Cooper Institute.
The New York Herald says of the sign
Crs of the call
The men who sign this call and who are to
assemble this evening are the first men in the
United States. In wealth, power, enterprise,
genius for business, and affairs in all that con-
tributes to honorable citizenship and the well
fare OF the republic, they have no superiors.
We allude to the position and influence
of the movers in this meeting only by way
of reply to the hackneyed charge that
" none but Office-holders are for Grant,
In the men who figured in the New York
meeting, will be found the splendid intel
lects, that have made the enterprise,
wealth, honor and credit Of the American
people the foremost of any race on the
habitable globe. These are the men who
are for Grant, and their influence will be
respected and felt wherever our flag floats
or language is known.
