A state Militia.

A proposition has been made to appro-
pirate sum of money for the employ
ment of the militia to aid the civil au-
thority in putting down lawlessness and
maintaining peace and order. This is an
entirely proper measure. Every State
should have well organized militia, or
volunteer; system, on which it can rely
for the enforcement of IFS authority.
The Federal army was never intended,
as the Supreme Court has declared, to
perform police duty ia the States and
it is perversion of power to employ it
for that purpose. To avoid all appear
ance Of necessity for such interference
by the National army, and Of pretext
for using it in that way, the States should
have regularly organized militia, nrepar-
ed at all times for emergenc..s.
In our own State, there is but one sec
ton in which lawabiding spirit does
not largely prevail over every other in
fuence. We allude to two of the coun-
ties (Amite and Pike in the Southwest.
1t is to be hoped that under the rigid
administration of justice by the newly
appointed Judge, Hon. J. B. Chrisman,
a change for the better will take place
But in the event this hope is disap-
pointed, and the laws are set at defiance,
it will become the duty, as it will no
doubt be the pleasure of the Governor,
under the circumstances, to come to the
aid OF the civil authorities in the execu
ton of the laws which he is sworn to
support. In the meantime, it will de
volye upon the law-abiding people of
that section to arise in their might and re-
solve that the innocent shall be protected
and the laws enforced. They must have
peace, if they have to conquer it.

Guilty occurred at his rooms between
himself and Mr.. George Williams,
brother>of an old, well:knowD and much
esteemed citizen, Frederick Williams,
Esq, now deceased. 1t was over game
Ct cards, and resulted in a challenge
from Williams to McMillen.
Dave Burnett, ESQ.,, was the second of
the former, and Mr.. Adolphe sompAyrac,
OF the litter. Neither knew anything of
the modus operandi Of dueling, and both
were Indifferent shots, They met on a
cold winters morning, in 1886, just back
of the American Cemetery, where Me-
Millen has peacefully slept all these in

Millen was shot. The ball entered just
above the right hip and shattered the
spine. He fingered paralized for two
days and died, Williams escaped un.

in Cane river while attempting to save a
negro man from the same melancholy
fate. He rests near McMillen on Pine

singular fact is told of Burnett's violent
death which has been lately reported to
us. It seems the negro whose fate Bur.
nett shared in vain attempt to save
him, was big, burly yellow boy, who
was constantly involving his owner
Burnett in trouble, and Burnett was
heard to exclaim, "rhat negro will be

many have been the maidens, who,

hanging some river on this continent.
The old Indian village here stood
upon a "Blntf;" there were lovers
aud maidens in those days, undoubt-

the suicide girl-lover, and "our bluff"
is not called "The Maidens Leap.'
On the contrary, it is vested with

took its name from an old fellow who
fell from its summit into the river
