Court Items.

The court rec ord contains lucid and i'm.
pressive charge of Judge Woods to the
jury in the United States Circuit Court, in
the case involving the validity of the Con-
cordia parish warrants. 1t was an import
ant suit, for the interest directly affected
amounted to $780, 900, with a contingency
depending on it of about $500, 900 more.
The charge Of the court to the jury dwells
especially on the law requiring parish
police juries to provide for the satisfaction
of debts they create, and expressly directs
them to search the ordinance to see if pro-
vision had been made. At the same time the
judge says he, after careful study, was una
BILE to discover such provision. Notwith-
standing this charge, the jury gave a YER
dict for the plaintiff. The rule for a new
trial will be argued on Saturday next by
George s. Sawyer and E. C. Billings for
defendant, and Semmes & Mott for
plaintiff.
Many of the decisions of the Supreme
Court yesterday were Of unusual import
ance. Among these the two rela ting to
Metropolitan Police warran ts are esp ecially
noticeable. The conclusion that such war
rants were not legally receivable by the
city in payment of licenses and the appa-
rent acquiescence Of the city in this opinion
made the paper held by officers in hope of
better days almost worthless. The status
of the case before the Superior District
Court was sufficient to justify the Judge in
overruling all motions Of interventi on, at
the same time allowing an appeal. On this
appeal the Supreme Court has dispos ed of
the matter in not only an equita BILE but
very satisfactory manner. 1t said the in
tervenors were the real parties to the suit,
and their rights could not be deteate by
the consent of the city to an inju notion
restraining it from performing its duties.
The case enabled the court to settle
another point, and that was that
though creditor and taxpayer had
an interest in the disposition of the
citys revenues, it was not competent
for him to rush into court and enjoin all
others from interfering. His interest was
the same as that Of any one else, and he
could not RESTRAIN them any more than all
could come into court and clog the ad-
ministration of the law by claiming the
same privilege.
The Superior District Court was crowd ed
yesterday by nearly hundred witnesses in
the Union Church case. and Judge Ha wilkins
postponed the case that they might give
their testimony to the clerk.

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
desire again to direct public attent ion
to the principle of railroad construct ion
advocated in the communication publish ed
in the REPCBLICAN on Saturday as mea Ms
for furnishing work for the unemployed,
homes for the landless.
What we need at the South are agricultu.
raj railroads-that is, railroads constructed
to develop our landed wealth and locking
to local business for dividends. Under
slavery and the large plantation system
these agricultural roads were constructed
and operated at a disadvantage. Under
free labor and small farms these roads
would prove successful.
The organization Of the proposed Indus
trial Development Company of Louisiana"
in order to inaugurate this homestead farm
railroad system IS therefore timely. Such a
company would solve many questions. 1t
would give immediate employment to the
unemployed 1t would give homes to the
landless. 1t would be ''tirst STEP in the
great work of material reconstruction which
Is to crown emancipation with practical
success and save the South from the tate
which overlook the British West India
after emancipation there. IL would give
the freedman who now has the ballot land
W stdnu upon IN Oruer 10 make the ballot
effective for his own and the public good.
1t would introduce the idea of home life for
the freedman into the work of Southern
reconstruction, an idea too long neglected.
1t would also give the white laborer and
the foreign emigrant an equal chance to
share in the blessing of owning a pro-
ductive landed home in one Of the railroads
of Louisiana.
What better work could engage the at.
tention of the Republican party of this
State than that of thus allylng the home
stead farm policy to the railroad develop
ment of the State? What better object
than this for securing the cooperation of
the Conservatives in promoting the indus.
trial development of Louisiana apd through
such development peace and good will
among its people!
Can not some citizen. Conservative or Re-
publican, who yields local influence in the
city or State, take up this matter and give
it practical direction? The capital needed
for the proposed Industrial Development
Company of Louisiana can be readily OBJ
tanned at the North. If the company was
formed to-day, the money needed would be
in hand by next December. Small farms
located on agricultural railroads is what
Louisiana needs 1t means wealth for the
State, contentment for the people, homes
tor the landless and work for the unem-
ployed. 1t means peace, because it means
prosperity, tor prosperous, busy people
are always happy and cOntented people

Ones Invariably Rejected-Zhe Editor not
Responsable for the Sentiments Expressed
| tn the Communications.
Taking the Census.
The items OF information called for in the
census blanks which are being delivered at
the houses of the people, seem to us to be
| very inadequate for the purpose contem-
plated.
When attention was drawn to the article
| of the constitution of the State requiring a
census to be taken this year, we naturally
supposed that something more was in.
tended than a mere record of the voting
population. 1t should, in the first place. be
complete, SO far as vital statistics are con-
cerned. If all the information called for by
the blanks at present in circulation is fur
| nished, the present census will not give us
the total population of the State. 1t
does not appear that it is contem.
plated to take cognizance of the births
in the year 1875, nor does it seem that any
account is to be taken of children under six
years of age. Neither is there any provi.
sion of a record of the married and sing lie.
These are grave omissions. We know not
who prepared the blanks, but we do know
that it is unfortunate that so costly a lob,
and one that HAD to be done-was obligatory
upon the government-should have been so
crude and ill considered. We also notice
two columns that are really supertluous and
unnecessary. We refer to the columns
headed "Acres OF land improved" and
"Acres of land unimproved." These items
have been furnished every year for many
years past by the tax collectors of each
parish, and may be found in the annual
report Of the Auditor, and we make no
doubt are accurate enough for all prac teal
purposes.
3. AS basis for the determination of the
representation of the several parishes in the
State ID must necessarily be failure, for
it does not comply with the requireme Mt of
the constitution. The constitution says
that
The General Assembly, at the first session
after the making of each enumeration, shall
apportion the representation among the
several parishes and representative districts
on the basis Of the total population, as
aforesaid.
How is this going to be done when all
children under six years are omitted from
the present enumeration! In this case, like
Miss Rosa Dartle, we only ask for informa-
ton. We know of only one way to comply
with the requirements of the cons ii tuition
Let new blanks be prepared, if the present
ones are not available, and let that portion
of the work which has been so imperfectly
done be done over again. B.
