The great sheriff case, in the

ded in favor of Duson. Judge Po-
che delivered the opinion Of the
Court ordering, adjudging and de-
creeing, chat G. C. Duson was le-
gally elected sheriff of the Parish Of
St. Landry, at the election held on
December 2, 1879" Justices Fenner
and Todd dissented from this opin-
ion of the Court. Thus it is that
the legally elected sheriff has been
righted, and the citizens of st. Ian.
dry can once more boast of having
one of the best sheriffs in the State.

THE GRAND ECORE TRADE.

In common with most of our plan.
tiers, merchants and Others intrusted
and linked with ties of regard and
esteem, for our Grand Eeore trade.
We regret and are really disappointed
and chagrined, that Capt. Dick Sin.
mott should not have suitable boat. ]
to replace his palatial and popul,r
Jesse K. Bell. For two trips the
substitutes of the packet are adyer-
tised in place of the Bell, with Dick
Sinnott, Master, Geo. c. Hamilton,
clerk" aud yet for two trips these
substitutes arrive here and these be-
liked and respected names are only
intended as figure heads to use or
draw for their popularity and sworth
Not wishing in tue least to reflect on
the substitutes placed in the Jesse
K. Bells stead, or in the least to in
trnde into the management Of the
Pool Line, for which our people have
a high regard, yet we venture, in
their name and on their behalf, the
opinion that they would like, and be
more than pleased, to see their old
fayorite and friend, Captain Dick
Sinnott, return at once TO his old
trade and with good and suitable
boat entirely under his command
and in his charge. In their name
and on their behalf we extend this
urgent invitation to Captain Joseph
A. Aiken, the energetic and worthy
President of the Pool Line, that our
old favorite be at once sent back 10
this trade, and in full charge of
good substitute for the Packet.
This is due the people of the
Grand Ecore trade, this is surely due
to Capt. Sinnott, and especially we
of Rapides, with respect and favor
ask this simple act of justice and
fair dealing from the managers of
the Pool Line. Do this Capt. Aiken,
and you will cement another link of
regard and esteem in your behalf
and that OF your line that will bind
you more securely and aiectionately
to the people of Rapides.

MURDER In GRANT.

IT will be remembered that
Thomas Phillips, we'll TO do clti-
zen of Grant Parish, was killed by a
negro named Harry Wheeler, and
that at the time great excitement
prevailed in and around Mont gone
ry, and a posse of from thirty to
forty men turned out in search OF
the murderer. They divided them
selves into squads and vigilantly
hunted for the villain. On the 18th
inst, the murderer met his fate, as
related to US in the following note:
The negro who killed Phillips,
was killed at Thompsou's Ferry, just
one week after the death of his vic.
tim. The facts are briefly these
j. S. Collins and H. j. Odum, of the
Parish of Grant, came to the White
Sulphur Springs, and received infor-
nation from Messrs. Biossat and
Gehr, that the negro, Philips, had
been seen that morning at the Ferry
by Mrs. Thompson. Learning this,
together with having been on his
trail for one week, and being awfully
anxious of capturing their man, they
Immediately started for the Ferry.
The negro was discovered in a corn
crib, which he sought protection
from the rain, and was surrounded;
he was ordered by Tbos. Wagner,
one of the posse, who is also Consta-
BILE of the 3rd Ward, to halt-Whee
Ter, who had with him a shot gun
in one hand and large knife in the
other paid very little attention to
the demand made by Wagner, and
attempted to run the picket; he was
fred upon by several of the posse
and bis body and head were riddled
with bullets. An inquest was held
on his body by Justice Lacroix, the
|jury's verdict being that he came to
his death avoiding arrest by officers
of the law. All of the above occur
red on Tuesday the 18th inst
The gentlemen who composed the
party, and who are all law abiding
citizens, expressed their regret at
not being able to carry him alive to
Grant, there to be dealt with as
the law directs. For the above true
statement, given US by H. P. Luck
EFT, who arrived at the Ferry from
the Springs but few hours after
this occurrence, we are indeed thank
full.

RAILWAY TO ALEXANDRIA.

The Times has already given the de-
tails of the proposition which Messrs.
G. A. Whitney & Co, make to the in
habitants Of the country between Ope-
lousas and Alexandria. Messrs. Whit
uey g. Co., desire to build the road
promptly; whether they do so de-
ponds on the response they receive
from those who are to be benefited.
The mere right of way is asked-noth- Z
ing more. AS rule, people are will
ing to subscribe to the stock IF rail
ways, even when it is certain that the
subscription will involve total loss,
because they know that their property
will will be greatly enhanced in value
by easy access to the outer world. In
this. case, however, no subscriptions
are asked. Messrs. e. A. Whitney &
Co., propose to build the road with
their own money, aud to pay for every
thing they get; that has been their Pal
icy in the past, and Of course inyaria-
BILE success has resulted.
From the railway company's stand
point. tue situation is as follows: BY
building railroad from Opeluusas to
Alexandria, there will be drained a
country which. is incredibly fertile,
and which is already inhabited by a
hardy and industrious population.
Along the banks OF Bayou Bonef, the
limo of the road passes, for distance
Of forty miles, through an unbroken
expanse of superb plantations. The
Morgan Company will soon have COM
pleted their great trunk line to Hous-
ton, Texas, where connection is made
with the great and evergrowing rail-
road system of the Lone Star State.
10 theimmense through traffic of Texas
the Morgan Company desire to add the
valuable business which central Louis
lana will afford. The Morgan Compa-
ny are, OF course, working for their
own benefit. People who have both
sense and capital never work for fun.
From the landholder's standpoint,
the situation is as follows; By dona-
ting to the Morgan Company the right
of way, lands which are now almost
out of the world will be placed within
easy reach of the best markets. Hol-
mesville with no longer be, IN point Of
time, as distant from New Orleans as
New Orleans is from New York. Ev-
erything must feel the effect Of quicker
and surer communication. The tele-
graph and the daily newspaper will
become the necessities, instead of the
luxuries of lite. Throughout all the
concentric circles of change there will
be a steady and rapid improvement.
! The interests of all parties are thus
really Harmonious. A satisfactory ar
rangement should therefore be speedi-
" reached The sooner, the better,
for all concerned.-[N. O. Times.

THE decision of the Supreme Court
just rendered at Opelousas, on the
appointments made by Gov. Wilt,
is exactly in keeping with the opinion
of the U. S. Attorney General touching
similar appointments made by Mr.
Hayes. Both opinions hold "that
where there is no actual or constrnc-
tive vacancy appointees by the Exec
utiye must be confirmed by the Senate
before they are entitled to their posi-
tions." Surely, the removal of Della
cey, the Post Master Of this Town,
covers exactly this decision of the At
torney General and is a case in point.

(my old woman included) to 7.
Indeed, herd one man out in Grant

he promised you the State of New
York before he concluded. That was
good as we'll as liberal, and me and
the old woman hope he will keep his
promise! Well, after all, politics is
a kind of mustard plaster-for it
draws out heap of infammashun;
but that is a good thing to be drawed
out sometimes, amt it? I suppose
our delegates to the Congressional
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES they are, and

for who ever heard of q delegate be-
ing cut and dried?-will 60 fully de
termined to vote for the rite man
and that is Jef1ries! Nominate him

And the way we will make the vel
