The Court.
The March term Of the Supreme Judicial Court
for this county, opens at the court house this
morning at ten o'clock. Judge Danforth will pre-
side, and probably sit through the month. The
number of cases upon the docket is eight hundred
and fifty, just two hundred less than at the Octo-
Der term when Chief Justice Appleton held for
nearly two months. The large number ofpersons
who are quartered at the Jail, as the most COM
Portable and least expensive place they could find
during the cold season, will have to be cleaned
out, making an unusually big job for the grand
jury and county attorney. But with fair weather
and good travelling good terms work upon the
civil docket is anticipated. As heretofore we shall
endeavor to give brief reports Of the more impor-
tant proceedings from day to day.

From the Vienna Sentinel, Aug al.l
We learn that a bold neo,n

gentleman living west Of yienss
during the night Of Saturday y.
7th inst, and proceeded to ,,h.,I
in which the gentleman's tvo
daughters were sleeping. II.
screams of the young laf)iea
awaked the family and the nesrr
ruffian fed, making good IL
escape and leaving no clue Is III
identity. On the following Wedns.
day night he again made the 4.
tempt and was this time captured
by the father Of the young ladiea
who on the following day called !
counsel Of his neighbors. Afler
deliberation they advised him. =
it was too late to reach Vienna
that evening; to keep the neero
in custoday until the next mon
ing, and then carry him to vienna
to be placed in charge Of the shsr.

that be had entered the room -

That night . party Of men Who
were unknown to the guard, took
the negro BY force and after a.

These are the facts as We learn
them from q citizen Of Vienna who
visited the place on the next day
after the negro was shot. He also
says that an inquest was held, ap.

Tho Removal Of the Parish Stts
Unanimously Opposed b tho


Resolved, By the Police Jury
Of the Parish of BOssier, That
it is the sense of this body that
the removal Of the parish site of
Bossier, from Bellevue, is inexpe-
dent at this time, and we request
our Senators and Representatives
in the Legislature to oppose any
tending in that direc-
tion, for the following reasons,
viz:
First-There are now public
buildings in said town of Bellevue
we'll adapted to parish purposes,
which will become comparatively
valueless to the parish if the
parish site be changed.
Second The erection of a Court.
house and Jail at 4 new site will
impose great expense and largely
increased taxes for q number of
years upon a people who complain
that the taxes, now levied, are
hurdensOme.
Third-Any change at the pres
ent time, is premature, as the con-
struction Of railroads through the
parish lnow projected) may rem
der another location than any now
likely to be selected more desira
BILE and convenient to the people.
Fourth-We believe q majority
Of the people of Bossier parish is
opposed to such removal.
We, therefore, respectfully pro-
test against any change in the
parish site ut present, and do fur
thermore insist, that such change
shall not be made unless by vote
Of the people Of the parish.
| Be it further Resolved, That
the clerk Of this Body be, and he
is hereby instructed to furnish
copies Of this act to our Senator'S
and members Of the Legislature.

Ex-President jefferson Davis.

This distinguished gentle
man was recently invited by
the Directors of the Winneba-
60 Qllinois) Agricultural So
ciety, to deliver an address at
the annual Fair, which he ac-
cepted for the commendable
and patriotic reasons assigned
by him in a letter, which we
regret we haven't space for,
from which, We learn, that he
has withdrawn his acceptance,
in view of the believing of a
herd of Hoosier cattle, whose
base and ignoble instincts lead
them to oppose everything
magnanimous, chivalrous or
brave, and teach them out OF
their Gospel of Hate, to pur-
sue with the blind fury of en-
ragged bulls, the representative
man of a cause which only
lacked the prestige of success,
to have made him Americas
second Washington. Nothing
better, however, could have
been expected of a vulgar, ig.
norant, unrefined and cowardly
class at freebooters, jayhawk-
ers, outlaws and psalm-sing-
ing libertines, who are too sell
fish to be honest, and too base
and cowardly to admire virtue
in woman or chivalry in man

BELLEVUE, La, !
August 23rd, 1875. ).
DIR. VIM. M. SWANN-Dear
Sir: In compliance with your
request, I have signed the pros
test against the removal of the
parish site Of Bossier lat pres
emit, but l concede the right Of
a majority of the voters of .
parish, when they express their
desire by ballot at an election
fairly conducted, to change
their parish site at any time
but for the Legislature TO make
such change is an outrage that
should not be tolerated.
In my opinion, those advo>
eating a change of the location
of the Courthouse should con-
slider the subject in all its bear
ings, and consult the welfare
of all the citizens of the parish,
as we'll as their own.
1t will cost $4,000 to- erect
a proper Courthouse and Jail,
and then a larger sum in mons
ey and labor will be immediate
" required to make roads and
bridges to enable the residents
of distant parts Of the Parish to
go to and from the Courthouse
as conveniently as at present,
which will at least double the
whole present taxes during the
next four years, and should
cause tax payers to hesitate be.
fore incuring such expense.
In my opinion, much of the
order, peace and industry pres
vailing in Bossier arises from
the fact that no commercial
town is situated within It Inns
Its, as when we go to other par
ishes and find the same state
of affairs, we also find the par
ish similarly situated as to
towns-and experience may
prove (and / think it is doing
SOY that the most advantageous
situations for cotton planta-
tons is several miles from
town-and that the less a las
boring community see and
know, Of city fashions, styles
and habits-and the less they
visit corrupting city institu-
tons Of entertainment and
pleasure, the better for them
and their neighbors, and fol-
the peace and prosperity Of
their community.
/ In conclusion, I will say,
that experiments in making
new parishes and moving
parish sites in Louisiana since
1868 are not encouraging, a.
disorder, high taxes and anar
chy, have been almost invaria'
bly, the result of such changes
Yours Respectfully,

cred and to be Promoted.
We publish to-day a resolu-
ton passed by the Hon. Police
Jury of the parish of Bossier,
and also, a letter from the Hon.
L. w. Baker, member of the
Legislature Representing this
parish, in both of which the
idea Of removing the parish
site from the town of Bellevue
is especially deprecated.
The reasons given we con-
slider good and sufficient, and
the inability Of two:thirds of
the chief taxpayers of the par
ish to meet their tax demands
Gas proved by the tax collec-
tors books should prove to
the people the utter inutility
of a move which would involve
them for years in a struggle to
relieve themselves from a bur-
then of taxation which would
be uselessly self-inflicted.
Our Courthouse is a good
and substantial one, and with
the repairs now being made on
the Jail, we will have the best
of any parish of North Louisi-
ana.
Then let us seriously ask
ourselves if, with these facts

dition of our people to stare

selves and children, such q
load of debt as will certainly

We think not. And to
strengthen us in this belief we
have before us the learned
opinion of the Police Jury ,and
