St. Landry democrat., 1878-02-16

Our parish is about the most law
abiding community in the State. We
have a population of over 10000, scat
tered over an immense territory. The
whites and blacks are nearly equal in
number. They seem to get along har-
moniously together. Notwithstanding
this large population, it will soon be a
year SINCE murder was committed in
st. Landry and in that case the muir
derer was promptly arrested. tried, con-
yicted and sent to the penitentiary for
life. If we could only find an antidote
for petty larceny. onr criminal conrts
would soon have nothing to do. The
jury for onr October term of Court
certainly handled thieves without gloves
and gave them fair warning, either te
reform or leave; but the misfortune il
we have only two terms of court pei
annunl, and the effect is lost when con-
ricts are sent off to work on rail roads
levees, &c. I'm our opinion the bill now
on it's passage through the lower lonse
of the legislature. compelling this class
of conricts to labor on the pnblic roadbs
will 20 far towards supplying the need {,
antidote, and In few years make patt,
thieves MS scarce in our midst as muir
derers.
