To-day our District Court meets, AM,
its term, the first within q decade o.
years under a government Of tie people
with all its branches in harmonious
working ORDER, trannriItv and conf
dcnCe restored, is looked to by Ill ass
es of our populations with al unusua
degree of interest. The Bar, here, rs

amt the tuiciment upon which public
opinion and public sentiment in thu.
respect invariably rest, have q wild,
field for their ambition to day, an,
whilst defending the life, rights and lib
critics Of man, will not be t1nmindful Il:
we'll as the Court herself, that society al
large looks to them for correction o
those abuses which have been so light,
dealt with in the past. Judge Picrson
always all ornament to the Bar of Natchi
toches, will prove no less so as the Judi
cial head of this District, and with
Messrs. Levy, Jack, Morse, Dranguct
Tucker, tho Chaplins and others, viii
win additional laurels.
The Police Jury of this parish, so long
a thorn ri the side Of the people, insult,
ing them with the partisan nature OF
their acts, ridicullng the source whence
they derived their authority, needless of
any and every thing so far, but the ill.,
terests of a Ring within :. Ring, will
also meet today with the ncwly appoint,
ed Jurors in attendance, and the citizens
in this part of the parish, together, nc
doubt, with those from all parts thereof,
will expect spec y, prompt and peremp-
tory action from their hands. The gen.
tle'Hen appointed by Gov. Nichols arc
well known, and will consult the wishes
Of the people whom they represent, for
they are of the people and from the
people.
The School Board of this parish, at
last composed of worthy and competent
gentlemen, who know and feel the great
want of education amongst the majority
Of orr Young boys, Will also meet today,
or sometime this week. They have a
great duty to perform towards our youths.
They are fathers themselves, and can

the proper moral, and mental training of
all our children. Let no one be selected
to teach them who IS not thoroughly
fitted to the tass-and let the examina

rigid and eXac;ing; let knUwleuSe, posi-
tive knowledge be the standard. 1t is
an honorable and difficult calling; gui
docet, bis studet. There arc MANY worthy
and competent young ladies and gentle
men Throughout this parish admirably
fitted for position, IF this kind, and we
trust the Board will not lose sight of
them. 1t is not necessary to import any

they live and move in our very midst,
and are as honorable and deserving as
any to be found elsewhere. See to it,
gentlemen; the fathers and mothers OF
this parish expect it of you. With a
Board of Examiners composed of such
gentlemen as Messrs. Jack, Drahgtet and
Cosgrove, the meal from the mill must
be ground fiue.
The defeat Of the railroad tax in New
Orleans short time ago by so large a
majority, was disappointment to the
of the Road in this parish.
We understand that the result Of this
check will, in all probability, lead to a
of work on the road in
this parish, at least, by the present Com
pany The INDICATOR remarks that it
will pit New Orleans fifty years back
ward. Great Caesar! how far back then
will it put Natchitoches
There is no news yet Of any c6nse-
queace, that is, in the way Of localisms.
The crops, Notwithstanding the want Of
rain, are doing well-but a copious
shower would give additional growth
and vitality to all plants, and be friend
ly visitor to every one. The health in
this section, as far as we can learn, is in
general, very good, and we are all thank
full for it.
