RoADs.-Our exchanges are discus
sing public roads-their construction
and rcpair-and We see no reason
why the V1ND1CAToR shonld not join
in, for if there be miserable roads we
have them here. Ia our opinion, We
fail to have good roads simply be-
cause We are endeavoring to apply an
obsolete system in constructing and
repairing them. We refer to the pres.
ent road laws of Louisiana. In the
days Of slavery this system did we'll
enough, and the large slave owner
marched out their forces and kent nm
the roads with but little trouble. Now
things have changed, and unless the
lever of the Grand Jury is applied our
roads 60 unworked and even then
they are shame and reproach to the
parish. We must have one of two
things applied to secure good roads,
and until either of them are this
grumble and complaint will continue
and bad roads will be the rule. We
must have a road tax or there must be
fine imposed for refusal to labor on
the public roads, which the hands
must be forced to pay or work out.

Democratic journal of Washington,

grace:
= 1t would not seem worth while to
discuss the rumor of an intention on
the part of the Louisiana Legislature
to annoy Mr.. Kellogg as to his tenure
of seat in the Senate. After that
rescue of the felon Anderson by the

sec any good reason why Kellogg

What is styled a private execution
of a death sentence in Mauch Chunk
is described in another column as
having been done in the presence of
hundreds of swearing and threatnipg
spectators. If We must hang men,
why should the hanging scene be
revolving?
Simply for the reason that hanging,
as all other modes Of punishment, is
intended as an example, not a revenge
of society upon the wretch who com.
mits the crime. 1t was instituted to
show other evil inclined people what
society had in store for those who
violated its laws. The "swearipg
and threatening spectators" only
shows the need of mo,e public hang
ing in the vicinity of Mauch Chunk.

In the matter of the application for
a reheariDg in the Anderson case as
Published elsewhere, the Supreme
Court assumes, to US, petulent tone
and style, not in keeping with the
dignity of their position or the grav-
ity Of the case. Attorney General
Ogden's position and argument was,
it seems, rather more than the court
bargained for, and his cogent reasons
were swept aside by even more flimsey
pretexts than those used in deciding
upon the merits of the case.

Have We Sinned.

The gloom cast over the good people
of Louisiana by the decision of the Su.
preme court in the Anderson case seems
to be settling deeper as time advances.
The question now is, have we not all
along sinned against these men'
fit be no legal crime to forge a Con-
solidsted return, even when the forgery
docs and has destroyed the prerogative
of free ballot, then Anderson and Wells
have been shamefully prosecuted. Nay.

hsve rested long an wrongfully under
tho ban of usurpers and the negroes of
Co'fax, the Devices and Twitchells of
Coushatta and the metropolitans of New
Orleans have been foully murdered are
maltyrs rather than criminals!
All the sophistry, the special pleading
known to false logic, can never shake that
conclusion, horrible to contemplate as it
may be. The effect in reason of the de-
ctsion we have succinctly stated in the
above paragraph.
IL this all :? No! Then the men who.
on bright sunny sabbath went forth at

hunted down for the foul crime commit

Of Him whose laws they outraged those
sons of Louisiana who defended the lives
and virtue of their mothers, wives and

whose manly faces are before US as we
