The judicial System.

One of the most Important Ques.

Si;tu'ioHa1 Convention aud. one
that is being discussed now mor'
earnestly perhaps than any other
by those who think alone of the
welfare and material interests ai
the State, is that of the iudiriarN.

that have tried both WAYS are not
yet prepared to SAY which is the
best. The probabilities are that
there will be radical differences of
opinion on this ina, ct among the
delegates of the Convention.
The prospect is that the country
delegates, or AT least Il majority of
them, will favor the choosing ct
the judges by appointment, while
the city delegates, will advocate
the selection of the judges by the
people. OF course, there is a strong
reason why this difference of opin.
ion should exist. In many of the
parishes there are twp or three col
ored voters 10 every white one, and
ia some OF the parishes, the pro.
portion of the coiored to the white
voters is even greater. 1t would

who were elevated TO their present
positions by the votes of the col.
ored people are totally incompetent
and unit for the places they hold.
There is no way of getting clear of
this class Of men as long as tn,
judges are chosen by the popular
voice. With respect to the district
judges, the same objection to their
election by the people applies with
almost equal force as far as the
country is concerned. A new mole
has been suggested for cboosing
the district judges. which has been
quite extensively discussed by the
legal fraternity. 1t is quite novel
in its character, and yet it appar.
entity has considerable merit. Ii il

The Nicaraguan Canal.

WASHINGTON, September 16.-Mat-
ters in connection with the proposed
canal over the Nicaraguan route have
been so developed that the question
will be brought before the attention of
congress for such legislation as may be
thought advisable and necessary. 1t
is already we'll known that this gov
ernment is favorable to this scheme.
and under President Grants admins
tration was notably in favor of it. In
this connection there are several
matters of history not generally
known. When there was, during
General Grants Presidency, a fair
prospect of the commencement of the
Nicaraguan canal, Mr.. Fish, then
secretary of state, was requested by
Grant to call the attention of foreign
governments interested to the work
and invite meeting of their repre-
sentatives to consider the question.
This invitation has never been pub
lished, but it is known that favorable
replies were received. After the
Nicaraguan envoy had visited the
country on this same business, and his
mission had failed, no further steps
were taken in the matter under
Grants administration. About year
ago gentlemon prominently connect
ed with. the government, and long
identified with the interoceanic canal
communication, called upon President
Hayes with the request that Mr..
Eyarts open correspondence with for
eign powers, and invite their co-ope-
ration toward the canal by the Mica
raguan route.
The President did as requested, but
it Is not known what action, if any,
Secretary Evarts took. Aside from
these facts, it is known that a number
Of prominent and influential and
wealthy gentlemen, irrespective Of
politics, are now actively at work on
the project A letter received yester-
day from New York states that salts
factory initiatory steps are being ia
ken to form a Nicaraguan Cana
Company. All the gentlemen inter.
ested urge that General Grant be
made president of the company, and
as heretofore stated in these dis.
patches, General Grant has been ten.
dered that position, and has virtually
accepted it. The government author.
tiles Of Nicaragua have signifed Their
willingness to cooperate with the
new company and grant all reasonable
concessions.
This fact has just been commune
Gated. 1t is expected that as soon as
General Grant reaches the Eastern
States formal meeting of the com
pany will be held and plan of opera
tions be decided upon. 1t is intended
that the company send REPRESENTA-
tive to Nicaragua to treat directly
with that government, with the ex-
pectation that he return in time with
his report to enable the company to
lay the whole matter before congress
at its next session, with a recommen-
dation for certain legislation. The
character of this recommendation has
not yet been determined upon.

Ute Outbreak.

CHEYENNE, September 16.-On the
10th inst. Agent Meeker. at White
River (Coloradpl Agency, wrote Gov,
Pitkin a letter stating that the Ute
Indians objected to doing anv more
farming, and that Chief johnson had
assaulted him, driving him from his
house that he had conferred with
other chiefs and they laughed at the
assault, agreeing that Meeker might
proceed with plowiug, but that tRey
would do no more. Meeker saws he
feels that none of the whites are safe
and he has no confidence in the In,
dians. ~
Since this letter reports have resoh-
cd here that the agency buildines
have been burned, and that the In
dlans are raiding along White and
Bear, rivers. No definite reports of
murder being committed are vet re-

sister, Lady Ida, married Adrian
Hope, Of the famous Anglo -Amster-
dam family, but tiring Of him, took
up with an Austrian attache, and was
divorced. Then the youngest daugh-
ter married Lord Dupplin, eldest son
of the Earl of Kinnoall, but before
two years were over, she too, found
that she liked some one else better,
and was consequently divorced for
adultery with Herbert Flower, whom
she has since married.

The Chinese are making themselves
very much at home in the Sandwich
Islands. Not only have they crowded
themselves into the ranks of the plant
ers and the merchants, thus acquiring
sturdy hold upon the agriculture
and commerce Of the islands, but they
are beginning to build churches. 1t
will aAiict Mr.. Kearney and his
friends who recently proposed to for
bid Cinnamon in California to EN-
brace Christianity, to learn that some
of the Sandwich Cinnamon have Just
erected in Hawaii Christian church
which was dedicated the other day by
native ministers, with ceremonies
which included the singing of Chinese
translations of the hymns, Nearer

ACCORDING to the New York Her

discouraged about the result in Ohio
and told correspondent of that paper
that only by unceasing efforts can the
Republicans hope for success. The
old politicians of both parties, the
Herald adds, are counting on a close
vote. Republican bluster and brag is
about played out, and they begin to
see there is other work for them in
the canvass than claiming forty thou

surdity that the Democrats have given

The Chickasay Guards will have
their dress parade hero this evening at
five o'clock, before leaving for 81.
Louis to enter the competitive drill
for the five thousand dollars premium.
which will be Friday morning. The
officers express their regret that they
cannot comply with the request OF the
Leaf to give a public drill on the
streets, owing to the uniavorable con.
dition Of the streets for drilling. The
sojourn of this company among us has
been exceedingly pleasant to the

to see the boys leave.
