CLIMATE.

The climate of Richland parish,
aud of all N"rth Louisiana, it appears
to Us is everything that could be de-
sired. for We are never exposed tu
either extreme heat Or cold, the
mercury in the thermometer rarely
ever rising above So degrees in the
shade in summer, or falling below
zero in the winter. The mean temper
ature being about SO degrees. here
is always a refreshing breeze stirring,
which renders our summer months
very pleasant. especially Of nights,
which are delightfully."- cool as gen.
eral thing. and one never is oppressed
with that close. suItry weather ey-
perienced at night by those who
dwell in the regions far away from
the seashore. Our winter weather is
balmy and spring-like, with just
enough frost to kill tho foliage and
keep the sap down. but not always
enough 20 prevent the growth OF
some of the harder plants. Snow is
a rarity and We have but lille ice;
ard as we write, ia the middle Of
February. the birds are singing a
cheerily and the sun shining "a
bright and warm as May morning.
The red-buds have been in bloom for
more than O week.

HEALTH.

We know thai, in selecting home,
one feels as much il not mure anxiety
in this respect than be does about the
climate "r soil, and. hence, we will
state the simple and unvarni,hed
truth, SO that We may not mislead
any. An erroneous impression pre-
walls in some sections, that Louisiana
is q graveyard; and. while we uo 90,
run into the opposite extreme and
claim that its atmosphere is COMPOSED
of the elixir Of life. We desire to cor
rect this Impression. As 10 all other
low, swarpy countries the people "i
this country are more or less subject
TO malarious attacks. such as chlls
aud fever aud swamp fever in The
summer. aud to pneumonia in winter;
but many Of the most fatal ci-eas =
that prevail in the higher aud drier
regions. particularly typhoid fever,
are almost entirely urknoan in this
section Of country Taking all things
Into consideration; and comparing our
death-rates With those of other coun-
tries. we are forced to the conclusion
that this is an average country as re-
CARDS beai,h. The best m aus Of j0dg.

Honlona Grange.

The meeting of Pomona Grange on
the 9th inst. was well attended, and MEM
bers seemed to feel and exhibit q living
interest in the business before them. A
fewof the sub Oranges who are generally
very punctaal were not represented,
which, We hope, are excusabe from un-
comfortable circumstances rather than
from wilful absence. A considerable
amount of routine business was disposed
OF, and some elections held. The official
term of the Local Agent and Executive
Committee having expired, Bro. John B.
Watson was elected Local Commercial
Agent. -Four additional members were
adder to the Executive Committee
which, will now consist of seven instead
of three members. This addition ,yaa
made mainly with view of increasing
their facilities for obtaining information
from every section Of our jurisdiction.
and enabling the COMMITTEES to act more
intelligibiy in the cases requiring their
deliberati0n. The Committee elected
are, J. w. Norris, p. r. Brown, T. B.
Lee, Malcomb Erwin, r. d. Dean, J. w.
Pickens and d. L. Cox. During the
past year the committee considered It
necessary to come together in d business
capacity ut least once every month, and
assuming that the duties dsyolvins upon
them fof tho ensuing year will not bs
less obligatory, nor perhaps less labori-
Gus, It may be equally proper to keep up
these monthly meetings; aud that we
may make q prompt beginning and fair
start the whole committee elect are re.
spcctfully invited to meet at Anderson
on the first Monday in August next, at
10 O'clock a. M, to enter formally upon
their official duties. In, the meantime
the old committee will keep watch over
the business, not the least Of which will
be the supervision of tho "Grange Col
umn" in this Journal.

have prevailed, that 1 am enabled to
reach this conclusion. Nothing tends
more to maintain the supremacy of the
laws and to enlist in their support the
hearty good will of the people than the
assurance 9: regular, orderly and uni
form administration Of justice through
the regular aud accustomed chennels.
On the other hand the interpolation of
extraordinary aud unusual modes of dis
penslng law and justice tend to shake the
OF lts administration. Nothing so cffec-
tnally provokes to lawlessness and disIoy-
atty to all law.
1T is most important that this conflict
of jurisdiction should be fairly settled
If this Cecision should be reviewed by
the Supreme Court of the State, which
is grei,tly to be desired, its Judgment sus.
tanning the Jurisdiction OF the Federal
Courts would be faithfully supported in
this State. Should it determine against
the jurisdiction, the whole question may
be takec 20 the Supreme Court of the
United States for final arbitrament. and
its determination would be final and con-
cluHive, and with entire fidelity be sus-
tanned by the Courts here.
"a resort, however, to the compulsory
power claimed for the Circuit Court miqit
frdnsfer the question from, the quiet arena
Of the Courts to the Executive Departments
Of the Government, and lead to great irri-
tation and consequences greatly to be
deprecated. The motion Is reflsed."
The issue is now squarely made, and it
must be determined in the way indicated
by Judge Kershaw, or not at oil. His
decision is law in this State, until re.
yersed by the Supreme Court of the
State, or by the Supreme Court of the
United States; and, as law, it will be
upheld and defended against any "com-
pulsory power" claimed for the Circuit
Court of the United States. 1t is not
likely, however, that any actual conflict
will arise. The Federal officers will be
satisfied, we judge, with peaceful settle
ment in the Courts. Already, much is
gained. The Revenue officer who kills
or assaults a citizen can no longer hope
to escape trial and punishment by. trans
ferring the cause to Courts where it can
not be tried. In the State Courts alone
such offenders will be tried, and this will
suffice, without anything else, to make
Revenue officers particularly careful not
to go an inch beyond the strict line of
their authority and duty Charleston

were prostrated in their residences, but
these cases were uniformly Of lighter

mules suffered intensely from the heat.
