to the successful working of our
republican system of government
the judiciary becomes. Hence, onr
State Constitution provides that
to be a district Judge, one must
be learned in the law, and have
practiced 1t at least two years
previously in the State.
This qualification is an eminent
" proper one. and no one is bold
enough to maintain that Il knowl-
edge of law is not an essential
requisite for a judgeship. But the
wise Solons who. drew up the
Constitution of 1868, ordained,
that no qualification save that of
citizenship should be required of
parish judges. And yet, the same
Intricate questions of jurispru
dence may arise in the parish
court as in tniec district court, be-
cause the jurisdicric2 of parish
courts is limited onl.y by the
amount involved in civil matters.
Not only this, butthey hayeexclu-
sivs jurisdiction of probate cases,
and appellate Jurisdiction from
justices courts when the asnOnnt
in controversy exceeds zen d0t
lars, and also act as committing
magistrates in important crimi-
nal cases. Parish judges are ex>
pected to hold court every month,
and to be ready at all times to
sign all orders grantable in cham
bers.
1t would seem that these diff
cult and multifariOus duties
could not, from their nature, be
half so well discharged as by one
whose mind had become imbued
with the principles and forms of
law. by an active and varied prac
tice at the har. Aud yet this i'm
portant Office, which we may
even.call more important than the
district jpdgeship, is made the
legitimate perquislle of dema-
gognes and ignoramusses, whose
sole ability consists in managing
party conventions, and controls
ling ignorant majoritles.
In SO far as the constitution is
concerned, this misfortune is but
of too frequent occurrence. Men

POLL TAx.-In q Parish, like
this which casts about 1000. votes
it is strange that less than one
thousand dollars is paid in Poll
taxes. There il a screw loose
somewhere that the public au-
thorities would do well to attend
to. The Poll tax paid in each
Parish is credited to the school

the people OF this State. 1t has
been done in some States and
has all the appearance of a good
and just law.

The SUNDAY LAw.-In many
Parishes and Townsin Louisiana,
the Police Juries and municipal
authorities have enacted ordl-
9ances closing all Stores, Saloons,
Sc on Sunday prohibiting the
sale of any thing and transaction
Of all business. Bakers and
Butchers only are permitted to
ALL bread and fresh meat, and
Druggists to Gil prescriptions.
Judging from the. statements of
the press in those Parishes this
new departure is giving pretty
general satisfaction.
There is one certain truth in
regard to this Sunday traffic. II
is the occasion of three fourths

latter parish. On the contrary,we
apprehend that he would, from
this very fact, make a better
Judge, because he would have no
possible motive to be biassed or
prejudiced. So that, the difficult
ty we have. suggested is of very
little for e, and can easily be
overcome by adopting the expe-
dient we have indicated.
Another way to meet the diff
Guilty would be to provide for the
appointment of a Judge in case Of
failure or inability Of the people
of any parish to elect one. This
would perhaps be the better plan
but the masses are not yet edu-
! Gated up to the point of surren-
dering their right to elect their
own judges, although such a sur
render would inure to their adj
vantage.
1t is needless to say, that with
the changes indicated above once
made in the Constitution, we
would be heartily in favor OF re-
tanning the Office of parish judges
as part of our judicial system.
The people seem not to be oppos
ed to it, since at the last election
they voted down an amendment
abolishing the Office. Let us by
all means have parish judges,
but let them be worthy of the
name. MORDAX.

Old Granley swore by all the leaves
That were upon the tree-tree--
He'd do more work IN one short day
Than his wife could do in three-three.
Mrs. Granioy, she came IN, she says,
f"Iou shall have trouble nOw-now-
For YOU shall do the work 10 the house,
And I'll 60 follow the plow-PlOw,
But YOU must milk the mooley COW
For fear she will go dry-dry.
And You must feed the little Pig
Winch Is within the stye-s,ye,
And you must pot the cream in the churn
Winch is within tue frame-frsme,
And Won must see to the fat in the pot
That I, don't all 90 in the 6ame-tlamc
And yoa must feed THE speckled hen
For tear she'll lay astrsy,
And YOU must reel the spool Of yarn
That spun yesterusy-day."
Mrs. Granley took the whip in her hand
To 90 and follow the plow-plow,
Old ersnley took the pail in his hand
To milk the mooley cow--cow.
The mooley COW she kicked-she-rayed.
She rumbled with her nose-nose.
She kicked old Granley in the SHIN
Till the blood ran down to his toes.
He went 10 feed the little pig
Which wss within the slye,
He hit his head against a beam
And his hair began to hy-fy.
He went 10 watch the speckled hen
For fear she'd lay astray-siray
But he forgot the spool of yarn
His wife spun yesterday-day.
lie went to put the cream IN the churu
Which was within the frame-irame,
But be forgot the fat in the pot,
And il all went into the flame-hame.
He looked east-he looked west,
lie looked to the sun-sun,
lie thought it was the longest day,
And bis wife would never comc-come.
Mrs. Grapley, she came in,
She saw him look SO sad-sad,
She 1heeied herself around about,
And said that she was glad-glad.
And then he swore by all the leaves
That were upon the tree--tree,
Ills wife could do more work IN day
Than he could do in three--three.
