Poor louisiana.

Our readers must have been prepared Tor
the news from Louisiana which we pup
ished yesterday; for though they, as We
may have hoped for the people OF 'l'a'
State a peaceful issue out Of all their 'rou'
bles, vet such was the nature of the wrongs
which had been committed there that no one
who had read our articles on the sul'co'
could have been taken by surprise ny lhe
news Of bloody conflict in the stree'S VI
New Orleans. Even the New lorh A't00'''
says: ...
wFirhting has begun at last in LOUISIANA
II uas hardly TO be expected that the hoae-
ration which has characterized the conduct
of the McEnery party should continue much
longer though we cannot now sec what j.
TO lie gained by an armed conflict. SO far as
we can learn from the dispatches, the militia
called out by Governor aIcEnery have come
into collision with the Kellogg police in New
Orleans. Blood has been shed, and the emo
is not vet. Congress was warned what would
be the consequences of an adjournment
without making any attempt to Paclly the
troubles in Louisiana. The dissolution OF
Congress, after wasteful debate OH less i'm
portant subjects. has put an end to any nope
of legal adjustment Of the difficulty; ana
the people who believe Kellogg to be a
usurper have taken the short cut to lis over
throw. The country will hold Congress re-
sponsible for this dreadful state OF affairs. Ii
is the worst of its many crimes"
Turn, reader, TO the Daily Dispatch OF
Thursday, and ponder CARL ScHURz's speech
on Louisiana affairs. The GRANT Admins
tration has shed innocent blood. They have
shed this innocent blood In supporting q
usurpation which has not I" the shadow OF
lawo to sustain its claims. We repeat the
last few words Of Mr.. SEIZURES scathing de-
nunciation:
"7Iius the usurpation is consummated; a
usltrpation ,citkout the shado,o Of lar ds
an grouse, ,cih nothing Gut trdud and force
TO stand upo'a; q usurp0hon pdtpdGle, gross,
shameless, and utterly Subrersscc Of all prin-
cipies of republican government; a uSurp0-
ton such as this country has nerer seen, and
probably no citizen Of the United States has
erer dreamed Of"
We have no comments to make just now,
except this: That every State in the Union
is liable to have its lawfully-elected officials
elected by force and villains chosen By other
villains, and protected by Federal bayonets,
substituted in their stead. Reflect upon this,
We northern War Democrats.

The Jurisdiction Of the County Courts.
! BRUNSWICK COUNTY, VA.,}
.---- March 4, 1873.
Messrs. Editors of the Dispatch:

march 4, 1919.
Messrs. Editors of the Dispatch:
AS the proposed change by the Legislature
of the jurisdiction of the County Courts is a
subject of some Importance, and one in which
some interest is felt, it is believed that an eX-
preston of ones views in regard to it will
neither be improper nor out of place.
That the present system is too expensive
for the amount of business that is transacted
in the courts is sentiment which seems to
be prevalent in this portion of the State.
For argument sake, let 1t be said that there
have been an average of t,ccnty STATS year
instituted in the courts Of each county in the
judicial circuit, of which this county Is one,
since the election of the county judges, al
though it is believed that the average will
not be half that number. Now what has
the decision of these twenty cases cost the
State: First, the salary of the county Judge
has to be paid. which is say $500; then the
circuit judges salary of $1,000 has to come,
and as there are eight counties In this circuit
we will consider that one-eighth of that
amount, say $3.50, is expended in
this county upon those twenty cases above
mentioned. Then, if there is no error in the
calculation, we have $3.50 and 5000, making
81 ,l50 paid by the State to have those twenty
disputes settled according to lau, which is
nearly $50 per case, aud ten chances to one
Iithere is not as much money recovered by the
institution of those suits as is expended by
the State in having them decided. We were
going TO add that there were some Wills to
be admitted to probate before the county
judge. but the people in this county have
ceased to make wills, as they do not own
$4,000 worth Of property; for if they make
a will and DO not ieave all the property to
the wife, she win claim it as a homestead.
So to make will has become unnecessary.
Then, with the trial Of criminal or two we

The Franking Privilege.

The House of Representatives, whose
members have always claimed that the frank
ing privilege was not theirs but the peoples,
and who, having abolished it, at once COM
pensated themselves for dcpriving the people
of it by voting to each one Of their number
the sum of five thousand dollars extra their
lawful salaries, did on Saturday last adoptan
amendment to IN appropriation bill, which
amendment appropriated for Executive Office,
$500; for Department Of State, $4,000; for
Treasury Department, S50i,000; for Post
Office Department, 100000 J; for Navy De-
partmcnt, S3s, 900; for Interior Department,
$4,000; fer Agricultural Department, So

for War Department, $4,000; for offices Of
the Clerk Of the House of Representatives,
the Secretary CT the Senate, and the Sergeant

have not yet learned whether the
Senate agreed to this amendment
but we doubt not that it did
Thus, almost before tile ink was dry
with which the law aboiishins the frankiu2

sentatives voted to restore it substantially

complete the run Of business ia our courts:
And is ft necessary % have TWO courts OF
concurrent iurfsdictisf1 to settle these con
troyersies ?-~ Gannot they be settled py tne
circuit Judge without working MIN e1sIa a.
ordinarily hard? at any rate, 1t Is no more
than the circuit judges were IN tne naDlI VI

sided over by judges. -.
We are told by some that the County
Court is the "People's Court; that tne
Judges of that court have discharged tneir
duty faithfully, and that it should not ne
done away with. Tt is the peoples court; but
no attempt is made to do away with IT.. IL Is
only proposed to take away from it the Jurls-
dicfion It now has and give it nearly the same
Jurisdiction it exercised before there was such
a thing us county judge. 1t Is true the ola
county courts had more power than 1t IS now
proposed by the Senate bill to give that court,
but it never had the opportunity OF exer-
cisinr It. for the greater part OF the business
was done in the Circuit Courts, and the
County Courts were used as courts OF pro-
bate.
To make it court Of probate nor, and
save the State an expenditure OF more than
s6n. 900 per annum, which might be applied
towards the payment of the interest on the
State debt, is thought, TO be step in the
right direction. The Circuit Court can settle
ali the controversies that now exist or that
will hereafter arise at any rate, until the old
Commonwealth can relieve herself OF her
embarrassments,
We have nothing to say against the judges
Of the County Courts we have no accusa-
tons whatever to bring against them. On the
contrary, we believe they have discharged
their duties to the best of their ability. 1t Is
DO desire to get rid of County Court Judges
that suggests the proposed change IN the sys-
tenn, but it is belief that the business OF the
county does not justify our having two
courts of concurrent jurisdiction, and that
the present system is useless expenditure OF
money, of which the State is now so sadly IN
need. LUMP.

How 1T WAS DoNE.-The New York Tri-
bune says:
can analysis of the vote in the House on
the salary question shows that 81 of the 1903
who favored the increase were not reelected
to Congress. That is to say, they had done
their work at the rate of compensation oriei-
nally agreed upon, and they had no immedi-
ate prospect Of coming back again. They
therefore grabbed five thousand more apiece.
These men, wise in their day and genera
ton, undoubtedly think that the happiest
time is now"
