A COUNTRY VIEW OF THE JUDICIARY
SYSTEM.
P1AoUEAINE, April 90. 1879.

PLAQUEMINE, April 90, 1879.
To the Editor Of the Democrats
One Of the all-important duties before the
Convention the determination OF judiciary
system for our State. This question is at
tracing great attention and deservedly 30.
What the system will be the future must
determine. am inclined to believe that our
present system Of parish, district and SUI
preme Courts need not be changed. We need
the parish courts for the transaction of our
probate affairs, and we need great number
OF district courts that their sessions may be
more frequent-say once in every sixty days
In each parish-that the business before them
may be more promptly disposed Of and we
need a more numerous Supreme Court.
M ese e0v writ Of o appeals suggegsed BY M
three courts with nothing to prevent each trio
of the triad from deciding differently upon
the same state Of facts: The suggestions of
your correspondent III. H. H." come much
nearer the mark.
As to the question whether the judiciary
should be elective or appointive, / think the
rejecting men Of the country desire the latter
1t Is argued tnat this would be giving too
much power to the Executive, but this, to my
mind, Is comparatively an object OF little
weight. The Convention is to define the du-
ties OF each branch Of the government, and
we must reasonably suppose that the
able men In our Convention to meet to-
morrow, knowing as they do the abuses
OF power which one branch may exercise over
the other and not restrained, will see that the
prerogatives, power and duties of each branch
Of our State government be fully and clearly
defined and limited. Without this our Con-
vention will have met for little purpose. Let
our judges be appointed by the Governor with
the advice and consent of the Senate. The
Of making proper selections may be
advanced, but In this particular our people
might learn q suggestive practice from a GUS
tom OF the Catholic Church. In that church
when it becomes necessary to appoint bishop
Of an archbishop to any See made vacant from
any cause, the synod or council suggest three
names to the appointing power Of persons
competent to fill the vacancy. The bars of
The respective parishes and district might do
this to advantage.
As to the term for which our judges should
oe appointed. ] think four years for the parish
Judges, six for the district and eight for the
supreme Court judges would answer, and let
hem be well paid for their services-say
$4,000 for the parish judges, $4,000 for the dis
riot and $4,000 for the judges Of the Supreme
Court. More even might be paid where the
parish Is large and the district is extensive or
to the district and parish Judges,
As to the districts 1 do not think more
han three parishes should, under any circum-
stances, be embraced In any district.

INDORsING THE BULL-DOZERs.-

INDORsING THE BULL-DOzERs.-
The New York Tribune says: cit is
one Of the discoWaging signs OF the
Southern situs3tioR to see an influential
Democratic organ like the Jackson
(Miss.) Clarion, edited by SO old poll
tlcian as Col. Barksdale, sQuarely in
dorsing the Yazoo county bull-d0zing.
When cOol-headed men, far away from
the scene of the outrage, give their
approval to the shotgun method Of
settling political contest, it is evident
that the tyranny Of the Solid South idea
is too strong to be resisted. The fear
Of a break in the political unity Of the
South causes men who are otherwise
just and fair-minded to applaude or
excuse the most brutal su5VerSi0n OF
the rights Of citizenship and Of all An
Clio Saxon notions of freedom and fair
play. The end justifes the means in
the opinion Of these people, and the
end, it is plain, is nothing less than
Southern domination in the General
Government and the overturning of
the results Of the WAL"

A LETTER FROM GEN. GRANT.
From the San Francisco Alta, August g.

H10lll olAC o<Rik II AetIlCiSCO AlbA, AUGUST
We give the following extracts from
a private letter Of General Grant to a
personal friend in our city. 1t was
written under date Of Toxic, Japan,
July IS:
eve expect to sail on the City Of To
kio, which is to leave here for San
Francisco on the 9th of August. We
have now been in Japan nearly a
month, the guests of the nation, and
have received the most unbounded
hospitality. Our first stop in the coun-
try was at Nagasaki, where we remain
ed a week. 1t was continuous ovation
while we remained. From Nagasaki
we came up through the inland sea to
Yokohama, anchoring at night, SO as
to lose no part Of the scenery. 1t is
grand beyond description, and strongly
in contrast with what we had left in
China. In Japan the ountry is noun
famous and green and fresh to the very
summit of the highest hills. In China,
so far as the foreigner usually sees it
it is fiat, desert-looking dust or mud
plain-depending upon whether it is

thing to relieve the eye. The scenery
up through theinland sea is very grand,
and we got as good view Of it as is
possible from the deck o. steamer,
but we did not land anywhere. The
cholera had broken out few days be-
fore our arrival all along the borders
of the sea, and was carrying off the PEG
pie by hundreds : What [
said at Penang about the Chinese Ques-
ton WAS without previous thought OF
preparation. / mad no idea what the
laddress to me was to be until it was
read in the presence of an assembly.
The response had to be spontaneous,
and now see nothing in particular TO
alter OF take back The fact is, the
Chinese question is not going to agltate
the country long. The Chinese Gov
eminent are very anxious to keep all
their people at home, and, if not inter
fered with, they will stop emigration.

Engineer-John X. Wilson.

& correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press, the other day, asked the question
OF. Gen. W. L Sherman, whether he
thought the Republicans would renom-
mate Gen. Grant for the presidency.
The General replied promptly; THAT
depends entirely upon the course of the
Democrats in Congress at the next SEES
sion. If they show q disposition to
rip the amendments from the Consti-
tuition, and repeal the laws that were
enacted thereon: or in other words, if
the Senators and members from the
South attempt to reverse OF qualify the
verdict Of the war, and make the vast
mass of our industrious people feel
alarmed, Grant is certain to be nomin-
ated, and the North solidified in his
favor"

endured the rigor of Kansas winter,
I ask why in reason they cannot en-
dure it as free men?
"Most white men imagine that they
know the negro better than the negro
knows himself. [ profess to know
more about the colored race than white
men generally know. / have been an
advocate of their interest and advance
ment; have been socially and political
ly identified with them; consequently
know them as men who are willing to
endure some hardship, in order that
their manhood may be maintained. [
emphatically deny that their best
friends are in the South. Their best
friends are to be found among those
any where who will give them an OPP
portunity to advance their material in
terests, and enjoy their political rights.
The Southern whites are not anxious
that the colored people should improve
their condition. They prefer to have
them ignorant and dependent in order
to prove, if possible, the assertion that
as slaves they were better off than as
freemen. They don't want an intelli-
gent colored man to live in the South,
or anybody else who will take an in
terest in the colored people; hence by
one means or another, they are en-
deavoring to exile all Republican lead
ers from that section, SO that they may
hold political sway without dispute or
opposition. The South delights in, and
has a jealous appreciation Of tne in
creased representation it has in Con-
gress, based upon the colored popula-
ton, but Withal they are unjust to the
extent of depriving that very element
Of the rights and immunities incident
to their citizenship. In that respect
they are not only impostors upon the
colored population, but are actually
upon the other parts Of the country,
by claiming rights to which they have
no title.
For these and kindred reasons, the
colored people are organizing societies
in the Southern States for the purpose
of em5gratioH. | say for them that
they will make as good a body of citi-
zens, taken as a whole, as any emf
grants who ever came to this country
all things considered.
Then the emigration movement has
taken deep root in South Carolina?
It has. So it has in nearly all the
Southern States. The fact is, the
Southern States deserve to be depopu-
lated Of the laboring class. IF labor
cannot be respected, it ought not to re-
main with them.

1t is said, with every reason for be-

Edwin Forrest, made mile last week
in 2:114, the fastest time ever made

when Sleepy Tom paced a mile in
