The recent decision of the Supreme Court,
which we mentioned last week, TO the effect
that Police Juries have ne authority to issue
Warrants or other negotiable paper, has caused
considerable excitement in our midst, many
of the holders of our parish warrants fearing
that the Police Jury might follow the letter
of this decision and repudiate its warrants.
Witnesses warrants in criminal cases are the
the only ones, according to this decision, for
which the parish is responsible.
The Police Jury met on Monday and Tues
day and discussed this important question
but after listening to the views of the Parish
Attorney and of another member of the bal
who entertained contrary opinion, it ad
;ourued without reaching decision.

r THE GRANGERs PROPOSE A New PARTY
The st. Louis Republican has the following
from Decatur, dated 18th of December:
The outlook here now is that the farmers
will virtually establish a new party, to be
composed largely of the industrial classes
Those who favored the creation of new po'
litical party, with name, platform and machi;
merry, were opposed by few, who insisted
that, while the farmers withdraw from the
old parties and locally vote for men of theii
own nomination, they should not enter into a
new political organization. The new party
people contended that the evils which led te
the farmers movement were national, and op
pressive not only to the farmers, but to al
the industrial classes of the country, East
and West, North and South. and that, there
fore, they should seek to adjust the scope o.
their views to the necessities of the entire
people, and invite the cooperation OF all The
anpressed classes except the plunderers them
selves, to participation with them in efforts
Mt reform.

A bill was introduced last week in the Lower
House of the Bayonet Legislature, by Mr.. Lit
tell, one of the Representatives Of this PARISH
to create new parish to be called st. Joseph.
IT. ia supposed that it is the same bill intro
duced some three years ago by Mr.. Durio.
and which ELECTED at that time such strong
opposition among our people that it was de-
feated. Considerable opposition has been
raised to this scheme throughout the parish
and particularly in our town, which, were the
division made as proposed in 1871, would be
left near the Southern frontier of st. Landry,
and soon necessitate the removal Of the seat
of Justice to some point north of us.
What with this question and the uneasiness
relative to parish warrants, our community
has had it's full share of excitement during
the week about to close.

CMltiva tiOm of . ute i'm the South.

Attempts have been made in various sections
OF the South, and with gratifying success,
to introduce the cultivation of the jute plant
in Texas, Louisiana and South Carolina. In
India the cultivation of the iute is fast gaining
on that of cotton, and the annual export of 1t
from India to Europe and America bids fair
to equal if not exceed the export of cotton.
Jute is the cheapest fibre produced, and on
that account has been largely used a sub
stltute. In India the comparative yield as
contrasted with cotton on the same field is as
552 pounds to 90. and it is much easier cutl-
waited. Even its stems are useful, resembling
willow branches, and fit for basket-work.
The export of this cheap substitute for cotton
from India in 1870 was 300000,000 pounds; in
1871, 450,600, ,00O-an increase in year OF fifty
per cent. In 1872 it is estimated an equal in
crease took place, which would equalize 1t
with the cotton product of India. The value
of the imports of this article into the United
States in 1871 reached nearly five and a half
millions of dollars. This product is used to
make the cotton bagging, such large quanti-
ties of which are now bought at the South,
and it is also used in carpets and other fabrics
as substitute for Wool cotton and flax.
The cost Of it's production in India is one
eighth that of cotton, while it brings one
fourth of the price. 1t sells now in Boston
at seven cents per pound. Ifit can be brought
from India at that rate, it certainly would
not cost more than half that to raise it at the
South The simple machinery for spinning and
weaving hemp used IN Kentucky may be ap-
piled to this. The Agricultural Bureau at
Warrington has called the attention of South
ern planters to this culture, sent seeds, and
detailed the results of the experiment. Its
manufacture, says the report, Requires lit
tie capital, skill or machinery. The Indian
widow still sits upon the ash heap and weaves
the sackcloth largely used in America to ene
velOp both grain and cotton" The reports
made by Southern experimenters are very
encouraging and it is probable a few years
more will make jute an article of large pro-
ducton, as it already is Of large consumption,
in the Southern country.-[ From The New
! azine for January.

Fer cool effrontery and first class lying we
venture to say the n. o. Republican stands
unrivalled. There is sublinity in such lying
as this that positively impresses US with a
feeling of awe and solemnity. Speaking of
the fact that a number Of republican Senators
and that Grant is opposed to it, the Repubi-
can says of the latter individual:
in 1872, and will, in all likelihood. select him
as provisional Governor, in case it becomes
necessary to appoint one. He would then
have the conducting of the election, which
would secure its fairness.

The financial situation at Washington is
desperate. Only $4,000,000 cash remain in
the Treasury, and the receipts are less than
expenditures. The Secretary looks, as a
last resort, to his $s0,000,000 gold, and when
that is gone he can't say what is to be done.
The question is, shall relief come from inaa-

this tribute of respect paid to him, he declined
making any public expression of his views.
He said that he formed resolution not to do
SO Immediately after he was released from
prison, and the result of his violation of that
resolve had shown it's wisdom AS, for in
stance, when he made a few remarks on the
occasion OF the meeting of the Southern His

briar White Sulpher Springs, lis utterances
had been eagerly seized upon by the partisan
press Of the North and West, and perverted
to our injury. He remarked that for himself,
personally, he did not regard the clamoP; but
deplored the mischief to his people.
