The District Court convened on
Monday morning at II o'clock. His
Honor, Judge Blackman. on taking
the bench, called the attention of the
members of the bar to the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court, in the
case of the State vs.. Williams. The
Court had decided that it was abso-
lutely necessary for the Clerk of the
Court, who was made by law er Oficio
member of the jury Commission,
to take an additional oath of office as
a Jury Commissioners. This the
Clerk had failed to do. No blame
however, could be attributed to the
Clerk, as no one thought it. neces-
sary. The decision was evidently a
surprise to the members of the bar
and bench, as for years past, it has
been the custom of the Clerk to as
sist in drawing the Jury, without
taking an additional oath. Two Of
the Supreme Judges dissented from
the opinion Of the majority of the
Court. His Honor, Judge Blackman,
stated chat in his opinion, the two
dissenting Judges were right in their
view of the law, but, as the Supreme
Court had adjudicated the question,
and no doubt would adhere to their
opinion, that he was bound to Well
to it as the law. This, of course,
would vit:ate the whole venire, and
of the Jury would be illegal
and null. He, therefore, on his mo
ton, dismissed the Jury, but pro
ceeded to try the civil cases, 10 which
no Jury was prayed. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that this decision did not
reach the Judge until it was too late
to correct the error or prevent the
summoning Of the Jury. It is graft
flying to the public to know that the
administration OF justice will be only
temporarily interfered with. We
have such profound peace and protec-
ton under our present administra.
ton, that only q few crimes of the
lower grade are to be tried.

In a former communication l called

for laboring men have come down.

Let US put salaries at one-half, and
you will see that we will have just as
efficient officials as If their pay was
continued at present rates. And let
Us not stop at salaries, but curtail
all other expenses, such as working
the streets, repairing the wharyes,
collecting licenses and taxes, and
again, let the Council reduce licenses,
and fix an 0d vaJorene tax on prop

thereby make nonresident property

the streets in order, and defraying

RIVER NEWS.

Tue river, after falling some eight
inches, has come to stand, with a
tendency to rise a little; now four
and a half feet in the channel from
here down, which insures fair navi-
CATION, and steamboatmen are happy
and look forward to good times and
big freights.
The Silver City reached here
Thursday evening, with good
freight, at one card rates. Alexan-
dria was her destination, and she re-
turned, on Saturday noon, with $50
barrels of molasses, 10 hogsheads
of sugar and 725 bales of cotton.
Card rates now prevail on the whole
line. We received a package of pa
pers from Billy Quicksall, her chefs
clerk.
The W. ]. Behan, billed through to
Shreveport, with a good cargo, at one
card rates, passed up Friday night;
among other items of freight on
board of her, old o.. dit whispered to
Us that some United States Marshals
were on board, bound for Natchito-
ches, and would stop here on their
return. We received package Of
papers from her clerk.
The bright and glittering Jewel
touched Pineyille and Alexandrfa's
two wharvcs early Sunday morning,
put out considerable freight+andswas
off for Grand Ecore; she was billed
to pass down yesterday. Papers in
abundance were received from her
two Alexandria boys Charlie and
George Drown.
Charlie Thorn's beautiful, .sblue
Danube, !" Eugene Barrow chief Of
the Office, blew her maiden whistle
of the season about midnight Sunday,
and landed some freight and a few
passengers. She was od again in

shatta, her destination. We received

The Pool Line, as we have often
stated, is not a monopoly; it is a
company formed by men who have
combined their capital to carry Oh
q special business, and they have no
exclusive right to navigate Red Riv
er, for this stream is free to the en-
terprise the country. BY this time
our people must surely be convinced
of this, and what they are now doing
is knock down argument in favor
of the DEMOCRATS stand. They are
now crowding their trade, at low wa
ter and precarious navigation, with
most excellent boats and barges and
taking away freights at card rates.
At this writing Pineyille and Alex
andria have been cleaned out, and
two boats q week will be On hand to
keep them free and easy. 1t would
be very we'll for all to remember
this, as the usual talk of Independent
boats Is already heard; but they will
only come when there is plenty of
water and their own trade is un-
opened. They come for the cream,
never stay long and desert US when
the real racket is at hand. The
