OUR CIRCUIT JUDGES.

The people of the State are to be congrat-
uiated upon the action of the Legislature in
the matter OF the election OF the circuit
judges. The result ls emnently satisfactory
as the gentlemen selected for the high and
responsible positions are all lawyers OF re-
cognized ability and firm integrity, who will
give dignity to the Office and inspire respect
and confidence among all classes of our peo-
pie. Lousianians, OF all people In the coun-
try, know the importance of having pure
judiciary, for they suffered for years after the
war under the baneful influence OF pei haps
the most corrupt and shameless men who
ever disgraced the ermtne or made the very
name Of justice mockery.
Having tasted the bitter fruits OF judicial
corruption, they are all the more able to ap-
and upright judges, such as the Legislature,
In the exercise of wise discretion, has
elected. The fortunate contestants for the
important and honorable positions have
reason to feel especially complimented by
the choice Of the Legislature, for their con-
testants were men OF fine attachments and
we'll worthy of the honors which were be-
slowed upon themselves.
The following is a full list OF the gentlemen
elected:
First Circuit-John q. Moncure, OF Caddo.
long term: and A. B. George. of Webster short
term.
Second Circuit Owen Mayo. OF Concordia,
long term; and W. w. Farmer. Of Oaachita.
short term.
Third Circuit-Joseph NJ Moore. of st. Lam
dry long term: and A. b. Irton OF Avoyelles.
short term.
Fourth CircHit-Charles Mcveigh, OF East
Baton Rouge, long term and Samuel J. Powell,
OF West Feliciana, short terra,
Filth Circuit r Winchester OF ST. James

POLICE JURIEs.

Among the laws which the present LegIs-
are none more important and more deserving
Of mature deltberation than those which shall
relate to and define the nature of local gov
eminent as administered by the police juries
In the parishes. Not only Is 1t contemplated
by the spirit of our institutions, but It Is de-
manded by every consideration OF propriety
and common sense that those details OF gov
eminent which are purely local In their char
acter, and which IN be directed In no way SO
effectively as by local authority, should be
oonfided to the police juries OF course all the
advantages and objects OF this system could
easily be defeated by constituting the police
juries without reference to fitness and econo-
my, for 1t is well known that the most irrita-
ting and offensive features OF the old Radical
administration were manifested through the
medium OF the ignorant, rapacIous and reck-
less acts or the police jurors. The office,
which Is essentially one OF patriotic honor
and responsibility. and should be filled by
men of the first intelligence and the closest
interest In the common welfare, was allowed
to become an object for the indecent scram-
BILE OF small henchmen and was used
by the party leaders to reward these
henchmen's dirty work. Under such In
iuences the police jury became terror
and an afflIction to good citizens, a barrier to
harmony and prosperity. Local affairs were
plunged into inextrioable confusion, and mis-
government In its worst and most perIlous
form presided over the scene This, how
ever, is not the legitimate operation of the
be possible under an honest government hon
estly administered. Police juries properly
constituted composed OF the most Intelligent
and patriotic citizens, serving without pay
and for the sole purpose of securing the well
fare OF the parlsh-are most powerful factors
OF order ana progress. They dispose OF innu-
merable details OF which the State govern
ment could take no adequate cognlzln and
apply to local matters special influence and
Information which could not be applied or
even contemplated In any general law It Is,
In fact, OF the first Importance that the Legis-
lature should provide for the formation of
tee for them the greatest possible efficiency
and usefulness. The members should be APP
pointed by the Governor, In order that men
may be secured who will lend wisdom
and influence and patriotism to the
government, and they should be re-
qured to serve without pay In order
that only those may be brought for
ward who will see their reward In the COM
mon good rather than in personal emolu-
ment. The whole system Of the management
Of our local affairs should be purified from
top to bottom. It Is what the State needs
more than anything else, and it Is In accom-
plishDg this, thoroughly and promptly, that
the present administration can earn the
proudest ace in the affection and gratitude
Of the PEG pie.

THE CHARITY HOSPITAL,

The report OF the board OF administrators
of the Charity Hospital to the General AS.
sembly, copy OF which has been sent the
DEMOCRAT by the secretary and treasurer
r. H. Southmayd, is very interesting and
Instructive document, and makes a most
gratifying exhibit OF the affairs OF an institu-
ton In which every citizen of New Orleans
and OF the State takes just prize.
1t Is certainly cause for congratuIation that
the hospital is entirely out of debt has made
and paid for extensive and much-needed inn
provements and repairs, has paid cash for
supplies OF every description which It has
purchased in the open market, and la In all
respects model institution. This speaks
volumes for the ability and zeal ex
hibited by the gentlemen who admins
tered the affairs of the hosnital during
the last administration, and they have the
proud satisfaction OF knowing that whereas
they found the building In the most diIapf
dated and forlorn condition, without credit
and In need OF everything, they have sue
ceeded, with comparatively small outlay Of
money in making great and much needed i'm
provements and in placing the institution on
a firm basis. The Committee on improve-
ments, Messrs. Jury and L4gan, report that
with an additional expenditure or Sf8 600 the
building could be placed In such a condition
as to require no further appropriation for
many years. The work done will conduee
greatly to the comfort Of the sick and must

STOCK LAWS AND PLANTING IN
TERESTS.

Louisiana is essentially and peculiarly an
agricultural State. Although there may be
just enough variety In It's resources to mar
the operation and impair the practicability of
general laws OF certain class and to illus
trate the necessity OF local legislation as re-
CARDS special details. the fact remains that
the State Is pre-eminently agricultural, and
the conclusion Is inevitable that the promo
tion and protection OF agricultural interests
ought TO form the chief solieltude of our
without prospecting our planting enterprises
and securing for them the most favorable and
rtfectual development, there can be no real
progress In Louisiana. Unless the cause of
agriculture be kept Ia view and all its re-
quirements consulted and recognized the
State will fall behind, and her citizens, from
the highest to the lowest suffer In proportion.
What our Legislators have to do above all
other things, Is to consider and determine
what will most powerfully further the farm
ing interest, and then set ABOUT reaching that
by the quickest and most sue
cessful route. With well-devised and
carefully protected system OF agriculture and
agricultural economy. our State will surely
