"A Ran 10 frOmOto mIAISrStlOu'
How to secure settlers upou our
vacant lands is q question in which
the people of this State are deeply
interested. At every session of the
legislature. immigration bills OF one
kind or another are introduced. Some
of them are calculated to serve the
purpose aimed at, and others are not.
The fact that these bills are offered,
howev er, is Q clear indication that
there Is q very general desire to pro-
mote immigration. There is nothing
more certain, than that if the State is
to advance in wealth and prosperity.
our vacant lands must be occupied.
At one time it was thought that the
colored people would improve their
condition and gradually become pro-
prietors Of small farms. There
are very few who bold any such idea
now. The colored people have shown
themselves to be too tbriftless and too
careless of the future to expect that
they will become any thing more than
what they are. They are laborers
now, and the chances ore that they
will remain laborers for q good many
years. Indeed, it is question If the
State would not be much better of
without them. If their places could
be readily filled by white men, a ma
jority of the people of the State would
no doubt be glad if they would seek
homes elsewhere. Th, gu sim which
presents itself, however, is, how are
we to get white immigrants here! 1t
has been suggested that organizations
for the promotion Of immigration
should be formed in each parish. In
few of the parishes this suggestion
has been acted upon. and it can hardly
be otherwise than that good results
will follow. Why would it not be Q
good plan for all of those. in every
parish, who have land for sale to form
an organization to dispose of their
lands? A list of such lands, together
with the prices and descriptions OF
them, should be made out and regis
tered at tue parish seat and also in
this city. The organization should
have these descriptions published in .
neat and attractive form. A compe-
tent agent should then be sent to
Europe and to those States in the
North and West where people who
are looking out for new homes are to
be found. The business of the agent
would he to point out the advantages
of the parish which be represented
and to exert all of bis influence to
Induce emigrants to 60 there. Hav-
ing q description of the lands for sale,
and the prices of them. be would be
able to furnish any inquiripg emigrsnt
all the Information needed. Ofcourse,
this plan would cost something, but
the expense to each one having land
FIR sale in q parish would be very
small in comparison with the benefits
70 be derived. 1t is we'll worth try
ing. There is little doubt that it
would be the means of bringing hun'
dreds of immigrants to the State
where one comes now. The improve.
ment which would take place in the
prices of real estate would greatly
overbalance the expenses which the
plan has suggested would entaiL-N.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EdIor.-In an article in your issue
OF the 9th inst, enumerating the officers to
be chosen at the coming election, you failed
to mention those provided for under the
amendment of article eight of our constitu>
ton, as passed by our last Legislature aud
directed to be submitted at the next election
for adoption or rejection. As you are adj
vised, this amendment changes our judicial
system, increases the number of cur judicial
circuits from nine to thirteen, reduces the
salary of the judges from $4,000 to 81 800,
abolishes the County Court and substitutes
therefor three County Commissioners. whose
duties are limited to the police and fiscal
affairs of the county. This amendment also
increases the jurisdiction of justices from
500 to $500.
Chapter 40, acts of 1879, which provides
for the submission of this amendment to the
people, also provides for the election of off. .
GERS Hereunder, viz: Judges of the new
circuits and three County Commissioners, and
II the amendment is ratified these officers
enter upon their duties on the first day of
January, 1881, but if defeated, then the
officers elected under the present constitution
go into Office. 1t seems, therefore, necessary
in selecting and voting for person or per-
sons for our judicial circuit, to designate ssfor
judge of the old circuit" and "for Judge of
the new circuit" and also in electing our
county officials to choose three persons for
County Commissioners. FL

JUDGE HoGE's LECTURE.

A crowded house greeted Judge John
Blair Hoge on Monday evening, the 9Th in
slant, and were entertained by very able Leo
ture OF the subject of '.The Relations of So
ciety to the Law" The lecture was classi-
cal aud finished production, reminding one
of the pomp and sfluence of Macauley, in
its beauty of diction and illustration. The
unseen influence of the law was we'll illustra,
ted by the all-pervasive, but hardly recog,
nized forces of water aud air, in the physi-
cal system of nature. Law was the invisible
band which held society together, and dis
titled upon every household the inestimable
blessings of society and peace. The strong
est point made in the lecture was the speaks
er's denunciation of lynch law, and his elo>
quent appeal to public opinion TO frown down
ell such outbreaks of half civilized life as
would, under any circumstances, seek to sub.
stitute mob violence for the due and regular
administration of law. His remarks upon
this subject ELECTED the applause of the au-
dience, and deserve the commentator of
every good citizen.
