seen, by call from the Parish Central
Committee in to-day's paper, a Con-

Saturday, the Goth inst, TO nominate
candidates for the several Offices to be
filed in our Parish, at the ensuing
November election. 1t is all i'm
portant that this convention should
put in the field our best and strongest
men. Every personal consideration
must be left at home. by the delegates
who come here to act in concert and
harmony for their country's veal.
We would suggest to the different
Wards in our Parish the propriety of
initiating the example of the 4th

RAY, presiding. This and the ensu-
ing week will he consumed in dis
posing of civil business, after which
the criminal docket will be taken I'D.
The Grand Jury being drawn and
empanelled on Monday, Judge RAY
laid down the law to them 10 q very
able, earnest and impartial charge.
Several important cases will probably
be Investigated by this body, and, by
a strict observance, on their part, of
the instructions given them in the
Judges charge. we predict a fierce
awakening among the banded out
laws who have recently disturbed the
good name of our Parish. All good
citizens Of Richland ere ready. will

OF the law in ferreting out all mis-.
demeanors and Kidding the Parish of
everything which tends to cast g dis
graceful reflection upon it; and Judge
RAY expresses himself graf. fed at
this manifestation on the part of our
people, believing that under such cir
cumstances he will be fully able to
vindicate the majesty of the law, and
cause crime to grow beautifully less"
The only difficulty in the way. of
speedy justice being meeted out to
criminals, at present, is in the mud
died intellects of some of our newly
enfranchised jurors. Will this excep-
ton, our present District Court will
prove splendid success.
