Mr.. Hadnot writes US long letter
this week to prove that he had juris-
diction in the case of Alfred Harri-
son, and claims that section 2096 of
the Revised Statutes authorizes JUS
tees of the peace ito employ either
the sheriff or his deputy to execute
all orders, citations, summons, seiz-
ures and writs, as well in civil as in
criminal cases." We admit be may
employ sheriff or his deputy, but
he cannot compel their service. If
be can show his authority We will
publish it cheerfully. AS to his ju-
risdlction, article 1875 of the new con-
stitution says he "shall have criminal
jurisdiction as committing magis-
trate, aud shall have power to bail
or discharge in cases not necessarily
punishable at hard labor" Now, the
question between us is as to the
gravity of the crime. The affidavit
says a mans leg was broken, and the
manning of person is known in law
as mayhem" and is punishable by
hard labor in the penitentiary. We
hold Mr.. Hadnot has no authority to
examine witnesses in such case. 1t
is useless to go into a controversy to
establish either side, the courts alone
being capable of doing this, andas
Mr.. II. has failed to make bis case
we decline to publish his letter other
than the points above, which COM
prehend its substance.

PRAIRIE HoME, July 8, 1880.
Editor Chronicle:
As ] have seen several articles ia
your paper in reference to the loca-
ton of the parish seat, and only one
plea for the pine hills, write TO you
to try and get more of the good peo-
pie OF Grant parish to take a rational
view of the matter. / contend that
q conrt house should be somewhat
isolated, and that it is better for the
officials for it to be SO. Therefore
let it be carried to the center. Why
go to either extreme of the parish
/ have conversed with some of Mont
gornery's most thinking citizens, and
they do not think it would be justice
to the people at large to locate it
there. Then, why go to Raven Camp?
1t would be as great an injustice. 1t
is claimed that fully two. thirds of the
people live in the river wards. That
we acknowledge, still il appears to
me that if the people of Grant are
to be con rolled by the vote of wards
l and 2 in this matter (saying MOTH
ing against 6 and y they should
have been more quiet heretofore. 1t
is we'll known that there are many
votes in those two wards, but not
many tax dollars. Then let me ap-
peal to the good peop'e of wards /,
2, 6 and z, and say, in the name of
justice, put the court house in the
center. l am ever open to convic-
ton, and if any of my fellow citizens
will come to reason and convince me
that it will be better for the interest
OF the people at large for it to be on
the river, then there is not voter
in the parish that would be more de-
sirous Of seeing it located ON Red
river. As an individual would
rather it be at Montgomery than any
point on the river, but this is not an
individual matter, and no man, neigh
borhood or community should try to
have it located for their individual
benefit. Yours, respectfully.

date defeated at the polls was declared
to be President, and for the first time
in American history the will of the
people was set aside under threat of
military violence, struck deadly blow
at our system of representative gov
eminent. The Democratic party, to
preserve the country from the horrors
of civil war, submitted for the time,
in firm and patriotic faith that the
people would punish this crime in 1880.
This issue proceeds and dwarfs every
other. 1t imposes a more sacred duty
upon the people of the Union than
ever addressed the conscience of a ma
ton of freemen.

Administration in making places in
the civil service q reward for political
crime, and demand reform by statute
which shall make it forever impossible
for the defeated candidate to bribe his
way to the seat of usurper by billet
ing villains upon the people.
y 9. The resolution of Samuel j. Til
den not again to be candidate for the
exalted place to which he was elected
by majority of his countrymen, and
from which he was excluded by the
leaders of the Republican party, is re-
ceiyed by the Democrats Of the United
States with sensibility, and they de-
clare their confidence in his wisdom,
patriotism aud integrity mistaken by
the assaults of a common enemy, and
they further assure him that he is fol-
lowed into the retirement he has cho-
sen for himself by the sympathy and
respect of his fellow citizens, who re-
gard him as one who, by elevating the
standards of public morality and
adjoining and Purifying the public ser.
vice. merits the lasting gratitude of
his country and his party.
