A Libel Upon California.

1t Is an atroeious scandal upon this COM
munity to intimate that this city OWES Its
growth and greatness to the Mongolians.
There are three quarters Of million OF eau
ycasians in California, and not to exceed one
hundred Thousand Chinese, nine-tentks OF
whom are Coolies. OF the hundreds OF mil
lions worth of property In San Francisco, not
sone thousandtA part belongs to the Chinese.
They have no standing ia the community or
society; they embark in no enterprise of1nag-
nitude; they engage In no worthy works.
First and they are as leechee, an incubus
and curse to the city. Such a contingency
Is utterly impossible; but, wereit even posi-
bic that the future of San Francisco or Cali
fornia should depend upon Chinese immigra-
ton, the character of the future can be readily
predicted. The coming Marius could Unless
than half a century sit upon the ruins as the
celebrated Roman sat upon those Of Carthage.

The Necessity for a new Consultation.

The arrest and indictment OF a number of
leading citizens of Caddo, Tensas and Match
itGches parishes is regarded as great out
rage and calamity. The crimassats are our
friends, and they have, not our sympathy,
cause these arrests and these IL pote trials
should convince the thinking people OF Lou
isiana of the insanity Of longer postponement
of the redemption Of this State. They can
see now what risks they have run. Here are
men who are dragged fronl their homes snd
fresides, placed in dungeons, or begging for
bondsmen, who are as good and pure men as
the State can afford Why IS this 1t may
be answered that it is the fruits OF the en-
foreement act That is true. But in Louisi-
ana, that act is Of double significance. dhere
is no government OF the people Of this State,
and Louisiana is yet under radical consul
tuition

LOUISIANA MATTERS.
A Judiciary system for the Country Par
ishes,
New Iberia Sugar BOWL

New Iberia Sugar BOWL
One OF the most important as well as most
difficult duties OF the coming convention will
be to devise judiciary system for the coun-
try parishes, which will supply the wants of
the people. Our present system is too cum
bersome, too expensive and too slow The
host of justices OF the peace may be done
away with, parish judges may be dispensed
with, and an entirely new system adopted.
But what we now urge as the most useful
change Is the mode Of acquiring the office.
Judges are but men, and have mans weak
ness. So long as they depend upon the votes
of the people for office, just SO long will the
evils which now afllct our country be re-
peated.
We would like to see judges appointed by
the Governor, with the advice and consent of
the Senate and for long terms, or during
good behavior. They should be selected from
those who, by their lifetime studies, have
made themselves competent, should have
plenty to do and be well paid Courts Ia the
country should sit oftener, and judges should
be required to render decisions in all cases
tried before them before the adjournment of
court. The present expensive method OF con-
Quoting litigation should be changed for Sim
pier and IL ore economic methods, and the
whole system changed Whoever aspires to
a seat In the convention as delegate should
be gwen now rejecting upon this subject, and
examining into the systems IN use in other
States.

while the flames that lit the battles wreck
shone round him DER the dead. 1t was an
uncomfortable position for the young fellow
to be placed In, yet beautiful and bright he
stood, as born to rule the storm or burst a
fiue. You will, doubtless, be surprised to hear
it, but, though the flames rolled on, some OF
them scooting up the mainmast, as repairer
would scoot up te egraph pole some per-
forming monkey-shines on the yardarm,
others licking the name off the sides of the
vessel, etc. Notwithstanding all this business,
the boy would not go without his father 8
word for the very good reason that his back
was still ringed, streaked and striped from
the last lambasting he received for disobey-
ing the old man. This was pretty good

that the fire-fiend wrapt the ship in splendol

The Prince of wales rs a Boston MIlitis-

It should much astouish the shades of those
who got up the Boston tea-party to know
that Prince Of Wales is enrolled among Che
citizen soldiery of the three-hilied city. Ed
ward Albert has been elected a member OF the
Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company OF
Boston, and letter from London says that
the heir to the British throne has accepted
the compliment. The acceptance of military
honors In other countries by royal person
ages is not without precedent, but we recall
none where such an honor has been accepted
from republic. 1t is clear that the inter

out effect on the Prince of Wales. He shared

that 1t was for the use OF the church and would be
returned Whenever demanded. About the same time

ture. Tne counsel for the defence said that the
money loaned to the church really loaned to the

Right Rev. Bishop Loughn and he would not nm
