Mr.. Editor
The citizens If Alexandria now have
chance tn select II Mayor and C"un.
ell oftheir choice, Ms politics are enlir, =
ly ignored in the coming election, and
they have before them men who will
fill the office uf MAJOR with satisfac-
ton, without being under obligations
to rings, cliqnes or party, and each vo'
ter should go to the polls aud cast his
vote FIR the man, in his opinion, tho
best qualified, without reference to the
sociahility Of the man, or COOL quail
ties in other respects. The questi"n
each voter should ask himself is: "Will
he make a good Mayor1"
The Couucilmen should DO the best
men in each Ward, property holders
aud, rs a matter Of course, there will
he no candidates for that Office, az
there is neither honor or pay attached.
Therefore select yonr men, vote fOl
them, and insist on their serring. 1t is
important that we have good Town
officers, for in the near fnture We may
reasonably expect that Alexandria will
increase in population and business
for We are assured that railroads will
be built to our Town, and being the
center Of the State geographically
gives us the advantage of other T"wn'
on the limo oi the .ailroad, and VT
need men in Office that will be equal
to the occasion. A CITIZEN.

4 GREAT WRONG.

1t Is every day becoming apparent
that the judicial system adopted by
the late Constitutional Convention is a
failure. In this, the 18Th Judicial Dis
trict, there are three parishes. and the
Judge is required to hold four terms
year in each parish. This, of cou, Sc,
keeps tho Judge constantly occupied.
He has jurisdiction alone, in criminal
cases, to grant bail, when tho punish
ment is necessarily imprisonment at
hard labor. So when a person is &C
cused Of the crime of manslaushter or
murder, there must he q preliminary
examination, to ascertain if the ac-
cused is entitled to bail. 1t often &C.
ours that tho accused has to remain in
Jail for weeks before the Judge can give
him 4 hearing. This encourages those
accused to avoid the officers of tho law
and not submit to wait until such time
as the Judge fixes for the trial.
An instance of the kind, in which
the law works hardship, is that of
Marshall, accused Of killing W. F.
jackson. Judge Barbin cant possibly
leave the Court, now in sossi"n at
Avoyelles, until the first Monday in
January. The Sheriff had a warrant
for Marshall, and rather than be looked
on as a refugee, he voluntarily surren
dered, on tho 18th inst, and went to
prison. As citizen 10 has shown the
highest respect for the law, bnt the
law should give to every citizen a
speedy hearing before the Court, and
not deprive them Of the right to bail.
The present judicial system inficts
wrong on litigants, rs we'll as those
accused of crime. In this respect the
present Constitution does not meet the
wants of the people, and it will not be-
long, We hope, before the present bnng-
ling judiciary system will be obliter-
ateu.
