Now that the heated term is coming

OF the pleasure you have had during
past summer days, look well before you

resort. Sherwood Forest, on Zoe shores
OF Green Lake. Wisconsin, IL d place fit
for the gods. The whole forest is a
woodland lawn, gently sloplng to the
pebbly shore; and while the proprietor
has opened some special avenues, ma
ture has furnished uninterrupted drives
and promenades everywhere. The
scenery partakes OF the beautiful. pic
turegque and almost romantic, rather
than the grand and sublime. Nature
here speaks in dulcet whisperings.
where one might almost expect to greet
nymphs and mermaids. satyrs and
fauns. Here and there rustic seats and
swings, pendant from the high. far
reaching branches, invite rest. The
outlook from the gro DDS, as well as the
piazza, Is truly magnificent, a perfect
taking In extensive prai-
ries, woodlands and cultivated fields, as
we'll rs the entire lake, with Its indenta-
tions and exquisite settings of bluffs
and evergreens. grassy slopes and per-
pendicular lodges.

il devoted to the department Of law,
and is far more than ample for the pur-
pose. The east wing is not used
az the academic department at
all, small part being used by
the Academy Of Natural Sciences.
The central building, with inexpensive
additions, can be admirably adapted
to legislative purposes, the now unused
portions of the wings furnishing far
more room than Is necessary for all
Offices required, and the location is one
Of the most quiet in the city.
TO use these building for the purpose
indicated would Of course involve the
removal of the medical department but
this could no doubt be most advan-
tageously done. Right at the gate of
the Charity Hospital is an admirably
arranged medical college building, and
this and the Amphitheatre of the Hos
pital itself would afford every requisite
facility.
We trust our Legislators will look into
this matter

GOV. NICHOLLs AND THE LOUISIANA
COMMISSIONERS,

The visit of the Commissioners to Gov.
Nichols was not SO barren and formal
as has been reported. Coy. Nichols,
whilst affable aud courteous to the gen.
tlemen, who reeiprocated these mani
festations with like cordially and re-
speot, did not fail to respond to the in
quiries Of the commissioners, touching
the status of his government: he simply
stated to them that he had been elected
by the people, had been installed In con-
formity to the constitution, and that his
government was In full operation and
would continue 80 until suppressed by
superior force.
TO the inquiry whether reorganiza-
ton of the Legislature, so as to blend
the two bodies sitting at the st. Louis
Hotel and at Odd Fellows Hall into one
constitutional assembly, which could
perform the function Of recounting the
votes for Governor, might not be effect
ed, Gov. Nichols replied that such an
inquiry must be addressed to the Legis-
lature which was an independent de-
partment Of the government that he
could not interfere with.
After an interchange Of oourtesies the
Commissioners took leave of the Gov
ernor. The bearing of both parties in
the interview was dignifed, respectful
and frank. Nothing was said by either
the Governor or the Commissioners to
indicate any disoordance of views, or
even to suggest any points upon which
a discussion could arise.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-04-08

ought to set to work to begin at least
their Heroulean labors.
There have been several Indications
recently Of q purpose and ambition to
commence this work OF cleansing our
Augean stable of impure, rotten, unwise
and oppressive statutes, which have
been interpolated into the body OF our
laws during the last miserable ten years
OF Radical domination In this State, but
1t would be unreasonable to expect that
much should be done in this work dur
ing the few remaining days of the
session Of our Legislature.
We cordially commend. however, the
proposition to create commission Of
learned, experienced, practical and in
dustrious citizens, or members of the
two houses. to sit during the vacancy,
to prepare and digest, in the form of
statutes, the necessary laws to accom-
plish q thorough reform OF our whole
Jurisprudence, or at least Of the statu-
tory portion Of IL; SO that, when the
next session OF the Legislature CON
venes, the work can be submitted to the
peoples representatives In such form
as will facilitate their prompt action

TINE SUPREME COURT.

It appears that yesterday Mr.. Hayes
Commissioners had under consideration
the question of the status of the Su-
preme Court OF Louisiana. We do not
know what arguments were used to
demonstrate the entire legality of the
court presided over by Chief Justice
Manning. but 1t seems to ua that the
matter may be presented in a nut shell.
Assuming. for the sake Of argument,
that Kellogg had the right to nominate
Ludeling. King and Leonard, no man Of
sense will dispute the proposition that
the confirmation of one set OF nominees
for certain Offices by the Senate is
equivalent to the rejection Of all other
nomin ationF made for the same offices.
The nominations Of Ludeling & Co. have
never been acted upon by the Senate
OF Louisiana, for the simple reason that
the Packard concern has never had
legal Senate. Gov. Nichols nominated
Chief Justice Manning and his asso-
ciates on the Supreme Bench; these
nominations were confirmed by the
Senate Of this State: consequently the
status Of our Supreme Court is as good
and perfect as that OF the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
or course we do not admit that Mr..
Hayes Commissioners have the right to
question the legality Of our courts, nor
shall we affront their intelligence by
imputing to them the claim Of any such
right; but we know so we'll that there is
not a single flaw in the title Of any
branch Of our government, that we are
at all times willing and ready to discuss
any question that may arise In respect
to the status Of any department thereof.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-04-08
A NEW STATE.HuUSE.

We note the fact that our Legislature
Is disposed to consider the matter OF
giving itself better State House than
the miserable old st. Louis Hotel. This
Is proper, though the treasury Of the
State Is In no condition to warrant out
lays for mere show.
Various suggestions have been made
in relation to this matter. Some time
since q resolution was introduced in the
House to purchase st. Patrick's Hall,
and we notice in the proceedings Of the
Senate. on Friday, a resolution by Mr..
Steven asking aid Of the General Gov
eminent to rebuild the State House at
Baton Rouge.
A glance at st. Patrick's Hall will sat-
isfy any intelligent man that the build
ing would not in any way meet the wants
Of the State, and could not be made to
do so. As to the project OF repairing the
State House at Baton Rouge and re-
moving the capital to that town, there is
very little, at present at least, to re-
commend it, while there are many
strong reasons against it. The COM
mercial centre is the proper place for
the State capital, and the great in
convenience of locating the State CAPT.
tai elsewhere is evidenced by the fact
that very strong movement is being
made to remove the capital of New York
from Albany to the city of New York,
where all business naturally flows.
But we took up our pen more particu-
larly to point to most appropriate
property in this city already owned by
the State. We refer to the half square
OF ground fronting on Common and "
ing between Baronne and Dryades, and
on which are located the buildings Of
the Academic. Law and Medical De-
partments of the University Of Louisi-
ana. The west wing Of these buildings
