Important larry Law.

An important jury law has been pro-
malgated. 1t declares the qualiica-
tons Of a juror s. to be a citizen of the
United States and of this State, and a
lana tide male resident Of the parish in
and for which the court is holden, for
enc year next preceding such service,
not under introduction, or charged with
any infamous crime or offense punish
able by hard labor, nor convicted at
any time Of any infamous crime or. of
Tense punishable by hard labor, unless
he has been pardoned, and to bea con-
.petent and intelligent person, having
capacity TO serve as grand juror, and
TO try and determine both civil and
criminal eases-; propidsa, that there
shall be no distinction made on account
of race, color or previous condition"
Nothing in this act is to, be construed
50 as to deprive Judges Of district courts
of their discretion to decide upon the
competency of jurors in particular
cases, when on account of relationship
to parties, or ignorance Of the English
language, and inability to understand
it when read or spoken, or other cause,
& person called may be incompetent to
sit as a juror on the trial Of any par
ticular cause.
The same law provides that It shall
be competent to draw juries as soon as
practicable after promulgation of this
act, for all terms Of the district court
fixed BY the district iudgesas required
by law. and that tie lists Of juries so
drawn need be Published only as. often
as practicable before the term of court
begins, and such lnries shall be as valid
as if drawn, and lists published, fifty
days before court. All talesrnen and
special jurors must possess the same
qualifications as those fixed By tie act
for regular jurors.
1t viii be seen that this law is de-
signed tolreyolutienize the pre-existing
jury system, and to secure intelligence
and competency on every grand and
petit Jury.

During the war otr townsman, JAS
4. Moore, on one occasion went out in
front Of our lines to give some water
to wounded Yankee, who was lying
in aheIplcss condition uponthe grounds
but lately occupied by the Federal
forces, and from which they had re-
Gently been driven. The man was cry
ing piteously for water, and the bullets
were rafting around from both armies.
Moore said he intended to risk the ex-
posure to do che deed of mercy, and
went out to him. 1t proved to be
captain of Pennsylvania regiment,
who was profnse with thanks, and Of
fered Moore his gold watch, which the
gallant Confederate declined. He
begged for his name, that he might, If
he survived the war, remember him.
This he wrote down in his memoran-
dunn book. The captainreccnfly wrote
here TO know If Moore was living; said
he was rich, but dying Of consumption,
and desired ito provide for him in his
will. Mr.. Moore wrote to him and re-
ceived friendly letter in reply, telling
him that there was $4,000 set apart
for his use, to be paid in installmonts
of $4,000 each. The Federal officer
has since died, and the ether day the
of $1,000 was received. Truly,
Ills "good to give even a cup Of cold
water in the right snirit."

evening before, and had but few hours
for preparation.
After dinner ]. w. /. johnson, Esq,
of Orange, a young and talented mem
berof the bar, IN response to call
upon him, made short address, APP
spropriate to the occasion, and then, be-
ing warned BIZ some of the railroad
officials that time was flying, the ex-
cursion party and their hospitable en-
tertainers returned to town, where
after hurried farewcils, and exchanges
of good wishes and earnest desires for
more intimate acquaintance, during
which the Orange fire company
brought out their engine, in compli-
nlent to our fire company, and gave an
exhibition of its working capacity, the
excursionists re-entered the cars, and
amid the waving of handkerchiefs and
renewed good-bycs started for home,
arriving here safely just at sunset.
The weather, threatening in the morn
ing, was delightful during the stay at
Orange, and throughout the day there
was absolutely nothing to mar the
pleasure Of the excursion.
We would like to mention sew eral
items OF interest which attracted our
in connection with the bust
ness industries Of Orange, and the
names of many gentlemen there con-
nected with those industries, and with
the legal, medical, educational and re-
ligious professions, to whom we are
for many courtesies and pleas
ant acquaintance, but we have not
now sufficient space to do SO. We
hope soon to revisit Orange, when we
will have more leisure to observe and
chronicle the many points of interest
there.
In closing this hastily written
sketch, we must not omit to mention
the fact that as soon as it became
known at Orange that the excursion
had been fixed for last Wednesday,
Major B. II. Noteworthy, of Orange,
sent telegrapLio dispatches here, assur-
ing our fire company and ether visitors
of cordial welcome and reception.
We were much gratifed to learn
that Orange will return the visit Of
Lake Charles, probably on the first Of
May, and we merely echo the unani-
nous voice of our excursion party
when we say that our people will be
delighted to welcome Orange to Lake
Charles.
Lastly we are gratiied to announce
that the excursion was highly success
full one, pecuniarily, to our Fire Com
pany, the gross receipts being 1884;
expenses, sll5; net receipts, Sl39.

seven Mem Hanged ina One Day

New Orleans, April "A Times
special from Macon, Miss, says five
thousand people witnessed the hang
ing to-day of James Brown, Samuel
Boiler and Andrew Macon, all colored.
Each of the condemned made their
talk of the goodness of God, and their
certainty Of heaven. Boiler recognized
bis old master in the audience, and
bid him farewell, saying, meet me in
heaven. lie requested to have his
body buried at the Dale plantation
by his little children. Seeing his wife,
he said to her: .sGoodbve, ! will be
with our children tonight. Farewclli''
a scream was heard--Boler's wife had
tainted.
At 2:3o the drop fell. Boiler died
with scarcely a struggle, Brown with
great contortions and writings. Ma
cons contortions were spasmodic.
Washington, April 2.-Ames Madi-
son Stone, eolored, was. hanged here
to-day for the murder of his wife in
1878. Stone was large man weigh
ing about two hundred pounds. When
the dropfell his head was separated
from the body.
The body fell 10 the ground, and
the head, after adhering TO the moose a
few seconds, fell to the ground, few
feet from the body. DR.. Crook pick
ed up the bead, and as be did so MOTTO
ed the lips move The features were
calm. 1t is supposed fatness had
weakened the muscular tissues, and
the neck was unable TO bear the weight
of the body.
Windsor, Vt, April p Edward
l4atro was. executed attwo o'clock to-
day Butler, husband Of the murder
ed woman, was present. Latro con
fessed that he was guilty Of the crime,
bnt said Butler was to blame, and
pointed TO him as he spoke. I.atrois
neck was not broken.
New York, April "A special from
Louisville, Keniacky, gives the follow
ing: Robert Anderson, white, and
Charles Webster, colored, were hung
here privately in the jail yard this
morning alto o'clock. Webster who
was convicted on circumstantial ey-
idence asserted his innocence TO the
last. Anderson denied any knowledge
of what occurred when he murdered
his wife. Gov. blackburn has resisted
the most urgent appeals to commute
both sentences. The men went to the
scafford coolly, without brayado, and
met their endeourageonsly. Webster's
death was instantaneous by disloeation
of his neck. Anderson was strangled.
There WAS not much excitement, as the
execution was held three hours before
the people generally expected it.

been hung in Opelousas, on Friday, the
2d inst, for the murder Of Eugene
Bell, on DIR. Boagni's plantation on
Waxia, February n, 1879, has been
reprieyed by Gov. Wilt, until further
orders. This suspension Of execution,
was Induced by atprobable doubt as to
the guilt of the accused. he protesting
his Innocence to the last, and his CON
yiction resting solely upon circnmstan-
tial evidence. Both parties were col

Senator Sharon, pf Nevada, gave
those newspapers who have been COM
menting ultfaverahly upon his absence
from his post of duty at the capital to
attend to his own private affairs q
quiet shot the other day. He had
been kept from Washington, he ex-
planned, by the operations of a friend
{Ralston), which had involved him to
the extent of millions. He hoped soon
to have more leisure to attend to bush
ness. If, however, his constituents
were dissatisfied with his course, and
thought that he had neglected them,
5he would send in his resignation when
eyer they called for it, bnt he would
hold himself responsible to no one but
them. This is the extreme State
rights, doctrine, and sounds strangely
coming from a Republican. IN, p.
Democrat.
