has this to say Of our Senator, Hon.
Lewis Texada:
"Hon. Lewis Texada, State Sena-

that we have not had al opportunity
of meeting, though are gratilied to
learn that a number of our citizens
lave called upou him. During our
sojourn in New O,leans last spriug,
we were the recipient of kindly ia
vors at the Senator's hands which we
highly appreciated, and we not know
bow we could more richly compen
safe him than by commenting him TO
the special attention Of our lady
friends at The picnic to day--for we
assume that he will not miss oppor
lunity of seeing what manner of la
dies Shreveport can boast. We
trust they will so entertain him that
he will hereafter have pleasant mem.

BON MOTS.

Hon. Louis Bush, ex-Speaker of
the Louisiana House OF Representa-
tives, has had occasion lately TO
write a letter in defence of some of
his acts, and without further notice
of his motives therein, we were for
chilly impressed with the two closing
sentences of his admirable letter, and
give them to our readers hoping they
will, one and all, see the good words
therein conveyed, and that some of
our home Democrats and Conserya-
tives will profit by them:
Does it not, then, ill become US to

of this State of all races may be
brought to act in concert, and finally
remove the shackles of tyranny and
oppression which have so long fet'

will be requisite that We align our
selves more carefully, that we clos

THE DISTRICT COURT.

The regular session Of the District
Court for this Parish convened on
Monday last. With but one or two
exceptions, all the Jury answered to
their names. The fines administered
at the last term of the Court, by his
Honor, Judge Blackmau, caused all
jurors to be promptly on hand. The
Grand Jury WIS empannelled, with
Eugene V. Weems as Foreman The
Judge then entered on an elaborate
and exhaustive charge to the Jury,
embracing in its range the whole
criminal law, which was listened to
with marked attention by the Grand
Jury and all present. His Honor
stated that there was cause of graf
ulation in the marked decrease of
the number of crimes committed in
this Parish. About one-half Of the
number, so the clerk informed him,
had been arrested, and preliminarily
tried since the last term Of the Court,
as was usual in any former period.
Something was said about the
rules of the Court, requiring the
criminal docket to be taken up on
Wednesday the first week Of the
Court, and having all the witnesses
summoned at one time, our efficient
District Attorney stated that he was
originally opposed to the rule, as it
gave him a very heavy work. But
after his experience at the last term
Of the Court, having in about fifteen
days disposed of forty five criminal
cases that usually under the former
Judges took five weeks-that he was,
for the sake of cost to the Parish and
the expedition in trying criminal
cases, disposed to ask the Court to
continue the rule. All witnesses in
criminal cases are required to be
present on Wednesday (to-day. y
The witnesses in civil cases are re.
quired to be present on Monday, the
goth inst.
i The perfect order, quiet and res.
pect that is shown by lawyers, Off.
GERS and all others to the Court
shows that there is truly new era
lin our affairs. Peace and order pre-
! vail in our Parish, and much is due
to it's officers. We will from time te
time keep the public posted on Cour,
doings.
