The Court House Again.

We renew this subject occasional
~ because we think it is of impor-
tanoe. The people of the parish
have an interest in it to the extent
Of $4,000 or $4,000, and so many
dollars to be paid by our people
makes the subject serious one.
Last week we asked the Grand
Jury to report on the safety, or un-
safety of the building, and now we
ask every citizen who shall visit
Bellevue this week at Court to keep
their eyes open-look at the build
ing foundation, walls and roof
and make up an intelligent opinion
on the subject. The people of Belle.
yue arc satisfied that the Court
house will stand longer than most
persons will live, but others may
think otherwise. Hence, let each
citizen examine for himself, or, what
is better, let them demand that skill
ed mechanics and architects shall
90 selected by Police Jury to pro
nounce on the issue. If the building
DC unsafe few people in Bellevue ex-
pect the parish seat to remain east
OF Bodcau, however much they may
desire to retain it at it's present loca-
ton. But, if the building of a ne,c
Court hoase be unnecessary, they do
not think the public good requires
an expenditure of $4,000 or $780,
oOO for new buildings.
We put the point upon the public
necessities and leave out of view
any question of interest peculiar to
this locality.
We ask our people to consider our
suggestions, for the question is yet
ah open one-several elections must
yet be held and taxes voted for, be-
lore this vexed question will be de-
cided.
We may have private interests,
oat we prefer to stake the issue on
Tue necessity of a removal of the par
'sn seat. If removal be necessary
" reason of the unsafeness of Court
mousse and Jail, then there is rea-
son for it, but, if our public build
.ngs are good, we protest against
an useless expenditure of a large
sum OF money for new ones. Our
people are not SO rich that they
should sqaau,ler their means in In-
necessary taxes or expenditures

Red Land Neighbcrhood.
ICaiborne Guardian |

In our occasional journeys to Red
Land we have been impressed with
the advantages that this country
offers to the industrious emigrant.-
The occasional strips of high land
running through Or lying adjacent
to the fiat lands are unusually pro
ductive. With small farm located
in such locality the flats could be
utilized for pasturage, and there is,
next to the prairies, no better coun.
try for raising cattle and sheep. The
timber would have a tendency to
protect the grass in the winter, thus
giving the settler an advantage over
the man who lives OIL the plains.-
We have passed through the country
at every season of the year, and
nave observed that the cattle are
always in fine order. But there are
thousands of acres of every kind of
land open to purchase to moderate
prices. The settler has only to say
what he wants and he will find it.
