The State has struck the tobacco planters
another blow, which will fall with some
weight on several of the citizens Of the county
The Court of Appeals in the case of VIM H.
Moore Il Co. vs.. the State, have decided that
the State is not responsible for the tobacco
destroyed by fire in the tobacco warehouses
recently burnt. The court declares that in no
sense is the State the bailee of the tobacco
nor responsible for it as warehousemen, and
nothing can be recovered from IL fo. anv loss
while the tobacco is in the warehouses. Thus
il is the State compels the planters under a
heavy penalty to send their tobacco to its
own officers, and yet it refuses to be RESPONSE
BILE for its delivery when called for, as any
other warehouseman is under the law. Surely
the planter has no rights to be protected and
raises tobacco simply for the benefit of the
State officers. Will the planters stand every
thing Port Tobacco Times.

The decision of the Supreme Court of Louis
lana In setting aside the verdict against
Anderson, convicted of forgery of the Vernon
parish election returns, ends a vexed question,
and doubtless affords much relief to many
persons of both political parties anxious to
end recrimnation and agitatian, and who
never anticipated the prosecution Of the re-
turning board. The grounds of the decision
place the case in an entirely new light. The
several exceptions 10 the verdict were dis
missed, and the court took up the question of
the otfense itself, examined the election law of
the State, and holding that it was "tbe
essence of this crime that should be committed
by public officer and on document which
would change the result of election" said that
this was not done, and ordered the verdict to
be set aside and reversed and the prisoner dis
charged. This practically ends the prosecu-
ton Of the returning board

which, ut that time, the State Senators were
chosen. There were twenty-one Wing electors
and nineteen in the opposition. The latter

college, but the reform was afterwards secured
by a constitutional amendment. Ex-Mayor

The Revolutionary Paper Money

One of the most instructive pas
sages in human history is that which
recalls the rise. decline and fall of
paper money of the Revolution.
The lamentable effects of these unre-
deemed issues of paper-money are
well depicted in the following pas
sage from doctor Ramsay's History
of the American Revolution:
The aged who had retired from the
scenes of active business, TO enjoy
the fruits of their industry, found
their subsistence melting away to a
meagre pittence, insufficient for sup.
port. The widow who lived comfort
able on the bequests of deceased
husband, experienced a Illustration
of all his well meant tenderness.
The laws of the country interposed
and compelled her to receive a shil-
ling where pound was her due.
The blooming virgin who bad grown
up with an unquestionable title to
her property was legally stripped of
everything but her personal charms
and virtues. The hapless orphan,
instead CT receiving from the hands
of an executor competency to set
out in busiDcss,ws obliged to give q
final discharge on the payment of
sixpence on the pound. In many
instances the earnings of long life
of care and diligencs were, in the
space of few years, reduced to q
trifing sum. The evils which
resulted from the legal tender of these
paper bills were foreign from the in
tentions of Congress and of the State
Legislatures. 1t is but justice to add
further Tint great proportion OF
them flowed from ignorance. Till the
year 1880, when the:bills fell to forty
for one, it wss designed by most OF
the rulers of America, and believed
by great majority of the people,
that the whole sum in circulation
would be appreciated by reduction
of its quantity, 80 as finally to be
equal to gold or silver. La every de-
psrtmant Of Government the Ameri.
cans erred from ignorance, but il
