an average fall Of about one foot to
the mile below Cheneyyille.
What boatman would like to guide
a boat down over sunken locks, at
the velocity such q fall would make,
and Mr.. Boyd proposed such locks
as would only the water without
overlooking with Lamourie open.
Mr.. Boyd proposed the locks to be
5 feet below the banks of the Bayou,
and to be so sheeted and so covered
by plank, as to pass over such water
as the open lock gates could not pass.
If the locks were made to top of
banks, or above it as usual, it would
overflow and ruin the land, force the
owner to help the water cut around
the locks for self protection.

all canals are sufficient comfortable

Citizens Bank.

This we'll known and responsible
institution, in compliance with the
Constitutional requirement, has Civ
en- notice by advertisement of a bill
which has been presented TO the Leg
islature for authority to liQuidate its
mortgage stock department, through
the agency of the banking depart.
ment. 1t can only be done by com
promises with the creditors, The
mortgage stockholders and the for
eign bondholders, and as negotia-
tions were opened sometime since
with all these, we presume the Gen
eral Assembly will grant the relief
asked for. This corporation is the
holder Of large number of valuable
plantations in the Parish acquired
through foreclosures of mortgages,
and in the event of the passage of
the bill now pending in the Legisla-
ture, they will be sold.
This will place upon the market
some of the most productive lands
in the State, and enable many of our
renting farmers to become proprie-
tors. This property Of the Bank is
scattered throughoutsthe Parish and
embraces estates located on Red Riy
er and on the bayous. We call the
attention of investors to the impor.
lance Of keeping themselves inform
ed, and of being prepared to take adj
vantage of the opportunity which
would be presented should the bill
go through.

The SUPREME CGTRT.

On last Monday in conformity
with the Constitution the new Jud.
ges of the Supreme Court were in
Quoted into office, and entered upon
the discharge of their official duties.
We can add nothing in eulogy to the
highly favorable opinions expressed
generally by the press Of the State,
in regard TO their fitness and qualifi-
cations. We do not know that any
appointments of new men could have
been received with any more salts
faction. We took occasion some
time since to say word in behalf
of the re appointment Of the Mich
oils Court, and while we were con-
scientious in advocating their reten-
tion, We did rot assume that there
were no others who were capable OF
rejecting equal credit upon the State
so far as legal attachments and pro-
found knowledge Of the law could
commend then. We believe that
the appointments Of Gov. Witt, are,
in every sense, men who are pos
sessed of all the requisites to ena-
bile them to shed lustre upon our
State, aud maintain the high char
acter which that august tribunal in
this State in .ante-bellum days en-
.joyed through every administration
since the organization of the first
Court presided over by Judge Mar
tin; but we reflect the sentiments Of
no small portion of the faithful dem
ocrats of the State, when We assert
eel that to their unfiipching and pa
triotic response when called upon
by Gov. Nichols must be attributed
in very great degree the complete
and final overthrow of the usurping
Packard government. Louisianians
will be slow to forget their record of
faithful aud brilliant services which
had their beginning on that memora-
bic January morning, when they
fled into the Chamber of the Su-
preme Court building under an es-
cort of citizen soldiery, when there
WAS an armed and threatening enc
my who, it was believed, would not
hesitate to precipitate conflict.
Their names are intimately blended
with tue restoration of the govern
ment of the peoples choice, and If
their acceptance of the high trusts
was at time when liberty crouched
and trembled, they are to-day rele-
gated to the not less honorable posi-
ton az private citizens which will be
assigned them as men who have
played no small part in that exciting
lrama whose theatre was Louisiana,
and in a season of domestic tranquil
ty and prosperity which they have
80 much to bring about.

in the case of F. M. Raxsdale

in the case of F. M. Raxsdale e,
ais vs.. the President of the Police
Jury of our Parish, the Supreme
Court has remanded it back to the
District Court here. From the con.
densed opinion ofthe Supreme Court
we clip the following, which is all
the information we can give our rea.
ders on the subject: "By White, j.
There is no law compelling Police
Juries to maintain public roads
along the entire bank of all nayiga-
BILE streams. Article 1854 of the Re-
vised Statutes, which forbids the
closing of a public road without the
consent of the contiguous property
owners" refers to those proprietors
through whose lands the road pass
es, or to those whose lands actually
touch upon it, and n OF to such as are
merely ,vicinal to the road.''

SHERIDAN AND THE BANDITTl.

The Grant party which recently
landed at Galveston, on their returp
included the Lieutenant Gepsfal OF
the army, P. II. Sheridap.
| For reasons not made public, be
proceeded direct to headquarters Of
Chicago, and did not follow his for,
mer chief, either to visit that an
Gent Mexican town, San Antonio, or
to the city whose people he had SO
recently characterized as "banditti.'
Doubtless the two Generals held an
informal "council," and it was agreed
that it would be expecting too much
of people who are still smartine
under the stings of his unbridled
denunciations to suppose that they
could SO far forget their own person
al self-respect as to join in any de-
monstration which, though rendered
to another man, could be construed
as in any sense intended for him.
We can believe that General Sher-
dan would be very happy, could be
efface many acts of his administra.
tion in this State; but however much
it might add to his glory as one OF
the heroes of the civil war, that he
had exercised his authority, when
that war was at an end, to promote
the well-being Of every citizen under
the protection of the government,
and to refrain from any act or words
that would incite spirit of resent
ment, he was actuated by no such
noble sentiment.
The fierce and vindictive invader
who laid waste the beautiful valley
of the Shenandoah, and who boasted
in one of his official communications
to his superiors, that he had made
the work of destruction so complete,
that "if crow should fly over it, he
must carry his rations along ex
hibite'l no loftier conceptions of mag
nanimity as civil ruler or of spir-
it which could releut, than such as
characterized Hyder Ali and the
horde of despoilers who swept with
fire and sword the lovely plains of
the Carnatic. ia;
General Sheridan, we :apprehend
could find nothing eongenial to his
tastes in the society of, the impul-
siye and naughty people who make
up the population of New Orleans,
but it is not impossible that he may
yet live 20 earn a name in compar.
ison with which his present fame
may be totally eclipsed. We allude,
of course, to the coming Empire, or
to the partition of the Republic
among the triumverate.
