Zip He Took Him!
MONTGOMERY, La, Feb. Z, rs.

y
We are indeed sorry that we are
compelled to dissent from it ; but
we feet that we ought to say some
thing concerning this matter, and
shall certainly try and do so.
In the first place, there is no
great need of court. house ut
Colfax. For the present we can
well make out with the building
rented and used as such. Second,
Grant parish is too poor to talk
even of building court houses, or
anything else. No fears need be
entertained concerning the abol-
ishment Of Grant parish. They
will hardly wipe us out simply be-
cause we have no court house, and
use rented building to hold court
in and to ndvise cessation in
the building of bridges, this is in
deed rich and racy; for who ever
heard of the Police Jury passing
an enactmen to build a bridge !?
Such u wall as would have gone up
from the taxpayers never was
heard.
You may hive bridges enough
about Colfax, bot we have not COM
menced to build them mp this way
yet. When l say you may have
enough down there, / mean You
ought to have, for you have been
trying to build crossings for egress
and ingress to Colfax for the last
six years. The Police Jury chose
not to run Grant parish INTO debt
by building everything that was
absolutely necessary for our COM
fort. Let US give them due praise
for that. Their financial policy has
proved to be so far very good.
Doubtless they have erred in some
actions, but they are excusable for
that. They cannot expect to please
every Que; nor sLould they try to
do so. l feel satisfied in saying,
though, that majority of the peo-
Pile are pleased with them.
L notice disposition growing in
our parish to grumble and suggest
and then grumble again about the
Police Jury. Let them alone. They
are doing the best they can. Re-
member the condition of the parish
financially. Have they full treas
ury to draw upon? Did you ex-
pect them to take hold of Grant
parish and legisiate it right out of
debt after so many years of misrule
and stealage? Our condition now
is consequent upon the mismanage-
nlent of former officials. Due re-
gard is had for the preceding Po-
lice Jury, that is, before the Peo-
pies Nichols ticket was installed.
l must say they did pretty we'll
scarcely any complaint can be laid
at their door. If any suggestions
should be made TO the Police jury
think it should be in the matter
Of license. Simply because man
is a merchant, don't gouge him
quite so hard. For instance, ware
house licenses are so high that |
in this place do not take |
hem out, ! presume it is the |
same way in other portions of the |
parish. Professional men are like
wise taxed pretty heavily. ] think,
n fact, licenses generally are too
nigh. Suffice it to say in regard to
roads, our Police Jury are up to
snuff there, and if there is any
hing they handle well it is a road
The way they get them
up and pass them is enough to
make an outsider quake with fear.

1t il Tut few years ago since we COM
menced to export fresh meat and live
cattle to England, and already the trade
is such a profitable one that many steam
ers find It pays better TO take out such
cargoes than to carry passengers, and
have therefore fitted mp accordingly.
That good paying prices will continue TO
be realized, there Is not much doubt, as
the price of home raised stock IL very
hi eh, as will be seen from the enclosed
statement in the Irish journal of Agri-
culture:
The other day, Mr.. Charles Watson,

valuable stock, crop, and farming imple-
mentS for Mr. Henry WiggiI s. D. Il. Egg
linton, the popular and respected agent

well attended by the gentleman farmers
of the district. The stock brought high
prices, bullocks selling at E12 to Ell

twenty-eight 10 thirty guineas each. The
crop ranged in prices 5s follows oats,
from seven guineas 10 ten guineas per
acre; potatoes, Ell per acre; mangel

PROPOSED WHOLESALE REDUCTION OF
SALARIES.

PROPOSED WHOLESALE REDUCTION OF
SALARIES.
From the y. Y. Herald to-day.
A stated session of the Kings County
Board Of Supervisors was held yesterday
afternoon. The Special Committee on
Payroll reported that in their opinion a
reduction ought to be made in the coun-
try expenditures, and in accordance with
this view resolution was submitted re-
ducing the pay roll of all court officers
from 81 per day to So.
From the evidence of witnesses heard
by the committee the latter are of the
opinion that there are too many court
officers. The reduction of the pay of the
Deputy Clerk of the Supreme Court from
5000 per annum to $1,000 was also re-
commended.
Since September, 1877, the City Court
Clerk has b sen allowed by law to retain
trial fees to his own use, and reduction
ofthe salary of the salary of that Off cial
to 81, 500 is recommended. The commit
tee also offered resolution, fixing the
salaries of county officials as follows -
Salary OF the Acting Clerk of the County
Court at S2,250, and two assistants at
81 900 and 81 200 respectively; the Dep
uty City Clerk at $1,000 and four assist
ants at 81 400 each ; the chief clerk of the
Surrogate at s., 800, the assistant clerk at
