THE YEAR 1880 promises to be one
of the most interesting and important

LOANS IN AID OF PLANTERS,
In aid of agriculture, .your attention,
is invited to the laws which relate to
loans advaa"ei to planters. Lenders
are IN II measure obliged to demand
rates o. interest which will indemnify
them for risks and delays as woll as
for the use Of the money lent. To
whatever causes tl.isstnay be- imputed,
the bad effects are manifest. A wIele-
some, vigorous, aud lasting impetus
would be given to our great industry
If farmers and planters could call to
their help all the capital they need, in
proportion to the security they can
give, at rates corresponding Will, those
paid in other kinds of business, Laws
respecting liens and pledges should be-
so made, as tn enable the careful and
houest planter to give the best securi-
ty for all the ready money he may re-.
quire in his business. Tie enormous
returns for the products Of American
farms have the effect Of inviting flow
of capital into agricultural in vestnene
larger than ever before known. In
this State no obstacle should be left in
its way that proper legislation can re.
move. .:al.t. NY S
Permit me gentlemen, to say In con-
clusion that for you as legislators, for
those who preside over our courts, and
for me and other officers who constr,
tute the executive department, there is
one common guide-the constitution
and one common purpose-the good of
the people. Under such guidance and
in pursuit of such purpose, harmony,ef
action in the three departments Of State
Government may be safely anticipated
The office of Governor is transferred to-
me through pure hands, and in like
manner shall it passto my successor. I
enter upon its duties without restraints
or pledges. While counsel from the
good aud wise of all sections and par
ties will be welcome, / must act in all J;

ORGANIZATION OF COURTS.

ORGANIZATION OF COURTS.
An early organization of the Judici.
ary Department being of great i'm
portance, the General Assembly should
proceed at an early day to the cleo
ton of two circnit judges for each cir.
cult district, as fixed by article 81. 10
your selection primary consideration
is due to the known preference of Sem
ators and Representatives from eacl,
circuit, who are assumed to reflect the
choice of their constituents; but it is
for you to insist that nominees shall be
worthy and suitable.
A large number of cases now pend
ing before the Supreme Court are to be
transferred to the Court of Appeals for
the parish of Orleans az soon as orga
nized. In accordance with article l29
these transfers will include all appeals
from the parish of Orleans, where the
amount in dispute or fund to be dis
tributed is less than $1,000, exclusive
of interest. These cases will occupy
the new conrt from the time of it's or
ganization in August next for long
period, and until new cases from the
district courts begin to demand it's at
tention. If the judges of the Court Of
Appeals for the parish of Orleans are
elected Immediately they will have
time TO prepare their rules and get
ready for active duty.
PAUPERs.
Article 163 devolves upon each par
ish the duty of supporting all infrm,
sick and disabled paupers residing
within it's limits. Tho Legislature
should prevent by law these untortu
nate classes in any parish from becom.
ing a charge on other parishes.
The rule is wholesome and inst and
nader its benefcent influence the af-
flicted poor of every parish will find
shelter, subsistence and protection,
but provision must be made against
mendicant and vagrant pauperism, 60
that each Parish shall only be called
upon to sustain and protect its own
impoverished and helpless inhabitants.
The increasing numbers, insolent be-
havior and malicious audacity Of a
class of healthy vagabond mendicants,
who have recently invaded Louisiana,
call for reprehensive penal legislation.

SUFFRAGE.
Article 1876 prescribes the qualifca-
tons of voters, and article 1856 makes
it necessary to enforce the provisions
of the preceding article by statute
Laws upon suffrage and elections
should be brief, clear and simple. No
abridgment of the sacred right of suf-
frage ought to be tolerated under any
pretense whatsoever. The broad and
magnanimous decree of the Constitu.
ton must be carried out in good faith
and to the full extent intended. The
exercise of the right of suffrage must
be kept free from all improper influen-
ces. The right to vote is the founda-
ton wall of our institutions. As long

Murdarn DIV Solomon Islanders.

By the arrival of the schooner The Queen
in Sydney, from the Solomon Islands, informa-
ton has been received that the schooner Es-
per1nzd, of Sydney, has been seized by some
natives at place known as Collolanghangra,
all the crew murdered, and the vessel first
plundered and then destroyed by fire. 1t APP
pears that captain Haddock of The Queen spoke
the Esperdnzo, and had an interview with the
master, captain James Mcintosh, and with the
mate, Mr. Peter Gaffney This was before the
murderous outrage by the natives at Climbo.
The Esp-ranza had then just come from
Rubiana, the headquarters of Messrs. Cow
lishaw Brothers and captain Ferguson's trad
ing feet, and where the ESperdnza had dis
charged cargo of copra for captain Ferguson,
to whom the Esperanza belonged. Captain
Haddock called at Climbo again early in June,
when the chief of that place, and number of
natives came off to Tile Queen, and reported
that the Esperdnza had put into the place
known as Collolanghangra, where a dispute
arose between Capt. Mcintosh and the chief
that the chief and natives came on board the
ESperdnzd for trading purposes, when sud-
denly one of the natives seized the captain by
the neck and held him whilst another native
struck him dead, almost instantaneously, with
a tomaliawk. The mate (Mr. Peter GaffDey)
was also killed in similar manner, and the
four islanders, comprising the remainder of the
crew, were also at once surrounded and killed.
The schooner was then pillaged, and after
everything of value had been removed, she
was set fire to and completely destroyed. The
chief told Captain Haddock that he had come
from the locality of the murders, and that the
natives had endeavored TO destroy all traces
of the affair. Reports of this nature from the
native chiefs are often unreliable, but in this
instance other natives had spoken of il, and
it had also been heard of at Rubiana.

Precocity a Sign of Inferioritr.

NJ. G. Delannay, in communication to the
French Societe de Biologe, has advanced the
opinion that precocity is sign of biological in.
feriority. Insupport of his position he adduces
the fact that the lower species develope more
rapidly, and are at the same time more preco-
cious, than those higher in the scale. Man is
the longest of all in arriving at maturity; and
the inferior races of men are more precocious
than the superior, as is seen in the children
OF the Esquimaux, negroes, Cochin-C Chinese,
Japanese, Arabs, etc., who are, up to certain
age, more vigorous and more intellectual than
small Europeans. Precociousness becomes
less and less in proportion to the advance
made by any race in Civilizations fact which
is illustrated by the lowering of the standard
of recruits, which has been made necessary
in France twice during the present century,
by the decreasing rapidly of growth of the
youth of the country. Women are more pre-
cocious than men, and in all domestic animals
the female is formed sooner than the male.
From eight to twelve years of age girl gains
one pound a year on boy, and in mixed
schools girls obtain the first places up to the
age of twelve. The inferior tissues and or
gans develop before the higher ones, and the
brain is the slowest Of all organs to develop

Adventures OF a Rank-Note.

1t was only an old coat, tattered and torn.
but in the eyes of the old man who discovered
it kicking around in the dust ON d street it
possessed definite value compared to the
garment that fluttered in the breeze from his
lean form like signal Of danger to crows
from broomstick in cornfeld. Probably
nobody else would have taken the trouble to
kick the coat out of the way, but this old man
picked it up, examined it with a critical eve
that noted the absence of buttons and the ex-
tensive acres of nothingness here and there,
and concluded that he had made good trade
with chance by swapping the coat he had on
for this one. Then he put his hand in the
pocket and felt a piece of paper, which he
pulled out. He had struck genuine bonanza.
for the paper was $50 bill, and visions of
whisky galore and square meal danced be-
fore his eyes. He took the bill to Pete Dunno,
who gave him change for it, and at the old
mans request kept large portion on deposit
as security for Numerous prospective drinks.
For few days the old man lived high and
kept the Delta barkeepers busy filling the flow
ing bowl for himself and friends. Then Mr..
Dune paid the $50 to Charley Mueller, and
Charley sent it TO the brewers in San Fran
cisco. Itcame back stamped counterfeit, y

"Wcaks after this" he added, after a
pause, ''your grandmother told me that
fearing some accident had happened to

to 90 in search Of ne. She took some
