MADISON PARISH.

[vicksburg Herald.

tVicksburg Herald.
P.J. Watson, colored Representative
from Madison parish In tho Louisiana
Legislature; g. w. Crawford, colored
SADDLE tint, late special constable, 'and
r.. Ell. Brown, also colored, a former
member OF the police jury, have cid 'been
under arrest for several days at Delta
on a charge OF forging and counterfeit
ing parish warrants, or scrip, and yes
terday their case came sp for pTelimi-
nary examination before Hon: ID. y.
Dennis, Parish Judge. George w.. Brad
field appeared for theState, and Capt.
and Mr.. J. G. Scale represented the de-
tense. The exaRination OF one witness,
w. Il. j. Clemens, Clerk Of the District
Court, occapied the whole day, and 1t is
probable that the trial will last through
the week, as there are about fifty more
witnesses to examine, and the testimony
ID all taken down In writing. The
charge against the accused is based on
the discovery OF scrip to the amount of
$446 Ga, to which the name of the Clerk
Of the District Court has been forged,
but there is no telling, at present, how
much fraudulent paper has been issued.
The testimony az developed 30 far, does
not fix the guiltupon any one, but cir
cumstances point to the accused as the
guilty parties. Mr.. Bradfield, who is
managing the case admirably, seems to
have little doubt Of their final eonvic-
ton. The people Of Madison are deeply
interested in the case, but we venture to
say that they have no idea of the fraud
and corruption lying covered up under
it, and that rigid investigation OF all
the parish records would we'll repay the
trouble and expense OF making 1t.

which certain members Of the Council faced the
threatening demonstration made against them,
and stood nanfnlly for reform and rstrenohmsnt.
There was but one opinion In relation 10 these
manner that shoald be i sure guarantee TO
them q popular support in all future efforts for
the public good. II they keep steadily on in the
path they Are parsSing, they viii reap fuller
harvest OF popalar approval than has been
many . year. As fer 80 IL IL possible, and ~ rap
idly ~ may be, they should apply the Ak 70 the
evils which have grown up Ia municipal Affairs.
They should seek TO weed out OK the different de-
partments all useless employees ana retain none
bat efficient, capable, honest men. The season
IL prspitious, and n greater amount OF first class
w can be secured by the city now than ever
before. Those that are retained ehould be paid
we'll and regularly. There will be those. OF
end who hold to the theory chat as long a. human
beings are but huHsan beings, politics must be
|tconducted with reference to the varied COM
plexion OF parties, end with due regard fu cal
the elenents thereof. This is true, but shenld
not be carried to the extreme Of running party
mainly In tae interest OF one Of its elements, and
that the least intelligent and Industrious.
The men who struck the first vital blow for lib
erty on the 14th September, 1874; who stood
and 1S7f TO guard the balot.boxes; who res
sponded eagerly to the call Of Nichols on the 9th
January, 1877, and who hare at all times been
ready to sacrifice their time, their MEANS lHe it.
self, for the good Of the State, are net now
thronging the corridors OF the City Hall. button
holing Administrators, and csmoring for
soft places. They are the bene and
sinew OF the party, and d politics aaust be
considered In making appointments, let those be
rememb ered who have done something else than
ornament cofiee-houses and street corners. The
argument that large number of lsborers are
needy and should be supported from, the city
treasury, is fatal to the existence of Republican
Institutions. It is only IN imperial Rome snd
Paris that we find 'bread and games" pro-
vided for the idle and the discontented.
The corporation of the city is not charitable
institution; the City Han is not a reor-house
The members OF the Oouneil may and should
feel, as men, the deepest sympathy for the unfor
tunate and the distressed. But II they woald
bring snccer to the poor and needy they should
address themselves TO the task Of tightening the
taxes, OF establishing economy and efficiency In
the various departments, and OF making New
Orleans once more the resort Of active enterprs-
ing capitalists. That result secured, they will
have the approval Of q vast voting majority, and
will have accomplished legitmately the pur-
poses for which they we're chosen. As q Demo-
crat, steedfast and firm In his party allegiance,
never voting any other ticket, and jealous for his
party's success, the writer presents these rtfec.
tions to the Democrats Of the City Council.

Sound Democratic Policy Applied to City

Sound Democratic Policy Applied to City
Government.
Editor Democrdt-Th present seems very
opportune moment for reflections on the
practical VIC. kings of government. Never be-
fore in the history OF Louisiana has public
course OF her public servants; never be-
fore have their acts been so critically scrutnzed.
Not an appointment Of the Governor but calls for
comment; every ordinance passed by the City
Council 10 carefully weighed and discussed.
This is . proper and healthy condition of the
public mind, and If sometimes the people Judge
harshly Of one or the other without making due
allowance for the exigencies Of the situation the
fact should be construed as merely the legitimate
fruit OF years OF misgoyernment and official spoil
alton.
Ii ia better that the people should be Jealous of
their rights, even to the verge of occasional per.
sonai Injustice than that they should be mat
tentive and careless Of the doings of their ser.
wants.
A notable instance, however, OF the accuracy of
the public judgment, and the promptness of the
population to recognize the faithful performances
Of duty under trying circumstances, may be
found in recent events at the City Hall. In pur-
suAnce OF recommendations in the Mayors mes
sage, the Council have agreed to dispense with
the vast patronage hitherto attaching to one of
the departments, and to try and see if the public
works could not be better attended to by con-
tract than by an army of half paid employees. The
advocates OF this scheme claim that under the
contract system there will also be q saving to the
city treasury annually of $4,000. Great excite
ment ensued. naturally enough, among the men
who were thus to be dismissed from employment,
and noisy demonstration followed.
The public had not probably considered the
question very thoroughly, and there may still be
an honest difference OF opinion as to the expe-
diency of the contract system. But on one point
there WAS no doubt, and that was the unanimous
approval BY press and people OF the courage with
