President Pro Tenn.

New Orleans Democrat, Jan. 16th]
The Senate caucus has, by hand
some vote, nominated the Hon. w. A.
Robertson, of St. Landry, as President
pro tenn. of the Senate under article "a
of the constitution.
Under the provisions Of article g.:
In the event of the removal, impeach-
ment, death, resignation, disability or
refusal to qualify of both the Governor
and Lieutenant Governor, the President
pro tenn. of the Senate shall act as Gov
ernor until the disability be removed
OF for the residue of the term"
This compliment has been conferred
upon gentleman who has done yeo-
man service for the Democratic party
in many hard-fought campaigns, who
has made record as one of the most
efficient parliamentarians in the State.
DR.. Robertson's long service in the halls
of legislation and his close attention to
the business of the people have well
qualified him for the duties of thi is posi-
ton, and our Senators have also, in this
act, raid fitting tribute to the empire
parish of the State. st. Landry is twice
as large as the State OF Rhode Island,
and never fails to roll up handsome
Democratic majority.

The EraSte NIOutOn Bill.

A bill passed by the last legislature
for the relief Of the widow and children
of the late Judge Eraste Mouton, has
just been returned by Gov. Nichols
with his veto.
liz brief the reasons given by the
Governor for vetoing the bill for the
relief of the widow and heirs of the
late Judge Eraste Mouton, of the Six
tecnth Judicial District, are that the
bill proposes to appropriate S25OO to the
widow and children of the deceased pre-
cisely as though he had performed the
functions of his office up to the first of
July, 1879:
There is nothing on the face of the
bill to show, nor am / aware of any
fact which would make this case other
than the constantly occurring one of an
officer who dies before the expiration
of his term of Office, whilst in the pro-
per and faithful discharge of his duties.
The Governor adds:
The General Assembly should estab-
lish general rule of action on that
subject on some fixed basis, applicable
to all or should it desire to provide for
a special extraordinary case, it should
cause to be mentioned in the bill the
facts which would go to justify the ex-
ceptional case.
The veto closes by saying, in substance,
that in the early part OF his term of office
the Governor signed an act to author
ize the payment, to his family, of the
per diem and mileage Of a deceased
Senator:
Even under the circumstances of that
case was greatly inclined to veto the
L. I 4 i
| should have done so. independently
of question OF power to pass the bill,
am of the opinion that it would not
be proper to pass it. The finances of
the State are such that those who have
actually rendered services are unable to
be paid. The State should be just be-
fore generous, and should not add to
the difficulties OF those to whom she is
under legal obligations, by appropria-
tions necessarily obstruetipg the collec-
ton of their claims.

We have often heard it said, or seen
1t stated, that a people or community
might be known by the condition of
their graveyard. By this standard a
very sorry opinion would have to be
formed of that part of this community
who bury their dead in what is known
as the Protestant cemetery. 1t has
round it common pieux fence, such as
farms are enclosed with, and it is down
In places, and the gate is open or hangs
loose on it's hinges. The place is a
resort for cattle and hogs. The hogs
root down the unenclosed graves, and
the cattle break down the head and
foot boards of the same, by rubbing
against them. Many graves, without
even board to mark them, have been
obliterated by the hogs; aud some who
sleep in them left considerable worldly
goodssto be consumed by their success
sors, often in riotous living, without
receiving therefor eyen#the small pit
tance of a tombstone. 1t won1d seem
when those who are nearest and dearest
to MS while living, are dead and buried
out of our sight, they occupy no longer
any place in our affections.

Sealing and Bonding Parish
Debts.

Gov. Nichols has vetoed the bill
passed by the last legislature author
izing the parish Of West Baton Rouge
to scale and bond its debt, "because it
is local bill designed to vary the
general law, which fixes a limit to the
power Of taxation by police juries:"
If there be any outstanding claims
against the parish of West Baton Rouge
they should, under the law, have been
provided for as to their payment by
adequate provision made Simultaneous
ly with the creation Of the debts. If
this mandatory provision was not fol-
lowed, the claims presumably are not
legal, and should this be the case tie
unauthorized acts of the local authOri-
ties should not be vitalized. Granting
the possibility of some exceptional case
removing it from the operation of the
general law, which forbids the creation
of debts without simultaneous prOvis-
ion for payment, and granting the pos
sibility of case where new or addi-
tional means Of payment (where the
original claims were provided for in
some way) will be rightfully asked, the
facts and circumstances going to create
such exception should be attirmatively
stated and the precise amount of claims
so circumstanced should have been as
certained and debarred prior TO appli-
cation for relief to the General Assem-
bly,. I think local matters as to taxa
tion had better be left where the general
law places them.
