Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-03-26

Our old friend, Hon. Matt. Lagan,
ofNew Orleans, got his Irish up, the
other day, and made spirited and
persistent charge with his umbrella,
on AdministratOr Is. T. Walshe, who
finally retreated in good order, while
endeavoring to parry the blows with
his own trusty rain shield. 1t was wei
that the battle royal was not fought
at the Capital city, else a forced LOAF
offifty ducats, would have been levieC
from each of the combatants, to aug
ment the Redemption Fund of th'
Capitol loan.
Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-03-26

BAYOU MANCuAC.-The CArITo-
LIAM stirred up zephyr, by a mere
suggestion, that the opening of Bayou
Manehac with protective locks against
floods might prove beneficial to the
interests of navigation and the lum,
her traffic. Our readers will see pros
and cons in our columns. The sub,
;ect is one, however, that will bear in,
yestication. "To open or not tt
open,n that's the question.

Judge T. J. Allison, formerly Par
ish Judge, died on Sunday, the 18th
inst, aged 81 years.-lberia Sugar
Bowl.
The deceased will be remembered
by our citizens in connection with the
period of reconstruction. when he
was q bounty agent at this place and
candidate for Parish Judge at the
election of 1868.

THE NAVAL rARD.
The Capitolian sticks to II.

tApIro1IAN are allowed to have their {
way it will not be many years before
Inc entire city of New Orleans and all
Of it's advantages are moved up 70
Baton Rouge. The CAPIroLIAN now
thinks there is every reason why a
naval department yard should be es-
tablished at that city urgingthat Baton
Rouge is already provided with mag.
azines and costly barracks, and that
the place is invariably healthy.-N.
O. Times.
The Times ought to know that we
have every reason to suggest Baton
Rouge as the best place on the Mis-
sissippi, whereat to establish the pro-
posed Naval Yard and Depot.
When the people of New Orleans
are navigating in skiffs through its
streets, the residents of Baton Rouge
are walking on high and dry ground,
on q plateau which the Almighty has
placed fully ninety feet above the
level where their metropolitan cousins
wade through mud and water.
Baton Rouge is more centrally loca-
ted than New Orleans. Soon IL will
have railway connection, through the
N. O. Pacific, with lower Louisiana
and with North Louisiana, Texas, the
Pacific and Western States; then
through Ponchatoula and the Chicago
and St. Louis road, with the Eastern
and Northern States. And we have
the strongest kind of hopes that the
day is not far distant when an air line
railway through the great lumber
producing counties of East Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama will unite us
through Ponchatoula, with Mobile.
!, Baton Rouge has one hundred fee
; of deep water in its front, at the low
. est stage of the Mississippi. 1t is sit
uated but 1870 miles above New Or
, leans; just a few hours runfor steam
t ship. 1t will be happy to give build
G ing accommodations on high, health,
y ground, to any number of thousand
t of new inhabitants.
y Now we come to those splendl
q barracks, magazines, storehouses an
It officers quarters, belonging to the |
II s. Government, which are located o
: the most beautiful site imaginable
7, right adjoining too, to the Garrlso
Y Bayou; an indentation which can |
Ie made, at small cost, perfect Ian
y locked basin aud ship yard, spaclol
J. enough to contain and shelter a tle
,r against storms or the attack of
er enemy.
What has Algiers to offer for
Il navy yard, save an open roadstead,
p big settlement across it, and caVl'
,g bank along its own front9
70 If the Times doubts the correetne
o. of what we claim, are the infinite
no superior advantages Of Baton Rou
or over Algiers, let one Of its gifted
ny porters come up here for a day a
a we'll satisfy him completely.
We have no desire to remove N
lie Orleans up to the Capital, because
vii great city will spring up there, al
a how, within very few years.
What we do ask, is, that the re
m eral Government shall not overlo'
Dr. that which any man with a level he
,ur ought to see at a glance.
lat It's on the natural advantae
Dol which we have minutely describ'
,ys that we do our Dragging.
of On what does the Times do its |
ust ting?
er- We call its hand.

THE JURY FARCE.

abiding citizens throughout
the State are expressing their disgust
at the ways with which the ends OF
Justice are being constantly defeated
by the iuries formed under the pres
ent system.
A Jury trial nowadays is nothing
short of an open and shut game. The
attorneys entrusted with the defense
If prisoner are allowed to turn aside
twelve persons, whose only disquall-
fication is that they appear to be con-
scientious and intelligent men, while
the States Attorney can object to but
six of the 'hard casesn whom the de-
tenders of the criminals manage to
have brought up as talesmen.
The very best citizens are exc used
from serving on a jury upon the plea
that having heard the particulars
about the case, they have already
made up their minds, when every
murderous or felonious act is matter
which the newspapers and common
talk have made one ofpublic notorie-
tv. known to every man, woman or
child in the district.
Others are dismissed because they
claim to be opposed to capital pun
ishment.
The jurors who are selected by the
iurv commissioners, before each term
of court. are the very ones who do
not serve on the iuries, owing to the
himsy excuses to which the laws give
cOuntenanCe.
When the attorneys orthe defense,
who know the character of almost
every man who is bronghtup to serve
as q iuror-have made sure that they
have secured on the jury q sutllclen
number of "birds of the same feather

trial takes place; and it matters no
how strong the evidence may be, no
how zealously the prosecuting attor
ney or the judge may do their duty
the criminal is either discharged, o
mistrial upon mistrial occurs, till h
is finally turned loose, again to pre-

The effect of all this is, that such
thing as security for life and proI

1t is plain that the force Of publ
opinion is inadequate to check an e'

TO prevent the increasing freque

We congratulate our liberal mind
