OUR o. 8. COURT.

Time was when every citizen of the Uni
ted States had profound respect for its
courts. When judges, with rare exceptions,
were learned, honest and impartial-when
the demands of party or the dictates of the
Executive, would alike have been unheeded
and despised. When we all felt when en-
tering a courtroom the presence Of the
Majesty of the Law" and saw in the per-
son Of the Judge the embodiment Of that
justice which protects the lives, liberty and
property of all good citizens. Now, all IS
sadly changed. We see our Durell, vile
political tool, whose villainous and unjust
DEGREES are on par with his foul, hypocriti-
cal and infamous private life.
From Judge Woods something better was
expected, for some reason unexplained, I'M
less 1t be that anybody or anything must be
an improvement on Durell. What he is,
his rulings during the trial Of the Grant
parish prisoners, and his charge to the jury,
plainly show. He is q partisan Of the deep
est dye, and, as such, can never be clear in
his Office. and is entirely unfit to discharge
it's duties, and is worthy associate of that
arrant knave and usurper, Kellogg. The
recent amendments to the Constitution of
the United States were born of fraud and
were nominally ratified by carpet-baggers
and negroes, supported by United States
soldiery.
The people of the South, only, have gen
orally understood The theory of our Govern
ment. Here we have cherished State rights
% the only safeguard Of liberty. and despite
Of any and all provisions to the contrary
which caA be found in these fraudulent
amendments, we intend to take our stand,
and to enforce with our right hands the
great truth that the white race is superior
and must rule, and in this contest we will
gain the rights which will be cheaply pur
chased with our blood"

BosTON's MUNIFIoENCE.

The heartfelt sympathy of the people OF
Boston for the unfortunate and suffering
people of Louisiana, and the munificenca OF
their contributions to mitigate, as far as
possible, the disastrous consequences OF the
flood, are at once gratifying and remarkable
Gratifying because il proves that neither
war, with its attendant horrors and bitter
ness. nor the denunciations and mad rawlings
Of designing demagogues, has availed to
smother feelings Of humanity and brother
hood, and remarkable because our relations
with Boston, both social and commercial,
are not nearly SO close as they are with New
York and other large cities in the North and
West.
There has been no single circumstance
since the close of the war which has given
such unmistakable evidence of the return
of good feeling as this spontaneous and
noble exhibition of active sympathy for the
sufferers by the flood in the South on the
part Of the lately stricken Boston. 1t has
done more to inspire us with hopefulness
for the future, than anything which has yet
transpired, and, whatever may be in store
for us hereafter, whatever differences may
unfortunately arise to estrange the sections
as they were estranged during the late
fratricidal strife, the remembrance OF BOs-
tons kindness and bounteous charity in our
hour of supreme suffering-when the hand
of God lay heavy upon our people-will
never be effaced, and thousands of
children yet unborn will be taught
by grateful mothers to lisp the name
Of Boston whenever they kueel in matin, or
in vesper prayers to that God who has writ
ten, " But the greatest of these is charity"
1t is strange that governments will never
learn that a proud-spicited and intelligent
people are most easily ruled by kindness
and that violence and brute force, such as
has been meted out to Louisiana by the
central authosity at Washington, is only
calculated to engender bitterness and strife.

PETIrIOy FROM THE CHANGERS.

DIRECTION.

Whereas, owing to the deplorable anu
distressed condition Of the producers OF tno

destruction and devastation OF the wateIs

House of Representatives of the Congress OF
the United States of America, delivered
April "a, A. D. 1874, urgently calling upon

the levees of the Mississippi River,
2. That we urgently appeal to the Con
gress of the Unite.l States to nationallze
this most important work; feeling that 1t
comes under the purview OF the National
Government, as directly and justly as
the protection and maintenance OF our
ports, navy, custom-hOuses, ETC., all OF
which being indispensable and absolutely
necessary for the general good.
3. That we respectfully recommend and
urge for approval and adoption these reso-
lutions to the State and Subordinate
Oranges of the entire country; and that
the secretary of this Grange be and he is
hereby instructed to forward certified copies
of same to the several State Oranges and
to our Senators and Representatives in Con-

the request that all papers friendly to the
movement publish and notice same.
