be commissioned as peace officers and
authorized to arrest and bring to trial
all persons who might behave in a
disorderly or improper manner on

thereupon abandon the temporary
regulations he had adopted, which
have given rise to the complaints con-
tanned in the editorial referred to.

OUR POLICE JURY.

A perusal of the account of the pro-
ceedings of the Police Jury of this
parish, published on last Saturday,
will doubtless give great satisfaction
to the people.
1t will be seen IN President Jack
sons report that all but S24.25 Of the
liabilities incurred by the parish in
1880 have been paid in full, while a
large amount of taxes for that year
are still uncollected. A number Of
substantial bridges have been erect
ed the jail has been thoroughly over
hauled and repairs made TO the court
house; all Of which Improvements
have been promptly paid for.
The parish can now be said to be
out of its financial troubles, and the
prospects, that under such manage
ment as the present, while improve
ments will be steadily going on, the
Police Jury will be enabled, if the
people pay up their taxes promptly,
to begin to reduce the back indebted
ness and place the affairs Of the par
ISL of East Baton Rouge Oh q sound,
permanent basis.
They have, besides, passed practi-
Cal rpad ordinance, which, if it is
heartily obeyed by the people, will
give us the good roads in the fall,
that the parish has needed for, alas,
very many years.
Gov. Wilt deserves to be compli-
mented for his happy selection of the
gentlemen composing our Police Ju-
ry, who have shown themselves so
attentive to their duties and eager to
restore the capital parish to the high
position it once occupied.
The facts speak for themselves and
we feel that we can conscientiously
congratulate this Democratic Police
Jury upon the results Gifts good work.

In view of the above publication |
deem it proper to state, that the ferry
boat Irene performs her service I'M
der a contract given by both the City
Council of Baton Rouge and the Po-
lice Jury of West Baton Rouge, and
that the lessee, Mr.Gibbens had never,
heretofore, been empowered to arrest
disorderly persons on his boat. For
this reason, he has been powerless to
control lab0rers and others of both
sexes who frequently, under the in
tluence ofliquor, have invaded the
ladies' cabin, where they have not
hesitated to use vulgar and obscene
language in their presence, thus giving
rise to very just complaints from the
good people who are compelled to
cross the river at this point. Wilde
the Irene was plying Bayou Lafourche
recently, Mr.. Gibbons had divided
the ladies' cabin in two compartments
one Of which he used as an Office.
Upon the renewal of his contract,
Mr. Gibbens restored the Irene to hel
former service as Il ferry boat and
until he could make arrangements to
| preserve proper order aboard, he did
the best he could, by inviting persons
either to the compartment used as his
Office or to the other, He disctaimS
that by so doing, either he or his EN-,
ployecs have insulted or designed tc
insult any one.
Such is in substance the statement
made 10 me, on yesterday, by Mr,Gib.
bens, in connection with the com
plant contained in the editorial0 tic
LouiSiauian.
After q consultation on the subject
with Mr.. c. j, Barrow, President OF
the Police Jury of West Baton Rouge
Mr.. Gibbens cheerfully agreeing to
! the arrangement, it was decided that

A BROTHERS DEEP rNGRATrTUDE.
Wilkesbarre Leader.

Thomas Farrow, an honest, hard
working Welshman, who has been in
this country several years, during
which time he has lived happily and
contented with a family of wife and
two children, one of the latter 13 and
the other II years OF age. He is a
mine blacksmith by trade and as
such had provided his dear ones all
the comforts and many Of the luxu-
ries of life, and until quite recently
there was not happier home in the
land than was his. About six months
ago he sent for his brother William,
younger than himself, paid his pas
age from the old country, and took
him into his own home, and made
him member of his family. He also
secured work for William with him
self, and did all that brothcrly love
could prompt to render him comfort
able and happy. The ungrateful
brother, as he has proven to be, was
attracted by the winning ways OF
Thomas wife, friendship led to love
and love to elopement. On Saturday
morning they William, his siste-in-
law and her two childrcn) left home
they said, to attend picnic at Ply
mouth. Nothing strange was thought
of this proceeding and the unsuspect-
ing husband and father allowed them
to 90 without interference. When
night came on, however, the party
did not return; when time rolled, on
and at the dawning of another day
there was nothing seen or heard OF
the absentees, Thomas naturally be,

abouts, and he returned to this city,
Inquiry at the valley depot later in
the day, elected the fact that late on
Saturday night tickets for the whole
party to Pittsburgh had been pur-
chased by William, and they were
then far on their way. Thomas Far
rows feelings can better be imagined
than described. A happy home bro
ken up, and that by one of his own
blood, one whom he had cared for as
doting father would care for son
and whom he had through brotherly
love, placed in a position to do him
this great wrong-all this flashed up
on him in an instant and to say that he
was broken hearted and disconsolate
but family expresses it. He has put
detectives on the track Of the truants
not that the recreant partner of his
bosom may be brought back, but to
secure his children. 1t is seldom in
deed that the chronicler of local
events is called upon to note such as
this; but the circumstances her de
tailed is,,"an DER true tale" and is the
saddcr because it is such.

Black Iron Ore I'm West vlr.

The Tirginins publishes COM
munication from S. p. Sharples, OF
Boston, from which we take the fol-
lowing interesting extracts regard
ing existence of rare quality of
iron ore in the State:
"Having occasion few weeks
ago." says the scientist, "to investi-
gate the subject of black iron ore in
West Virginia, was surprised at be-

of it's existence. One gentleman
went so far as to offer one hundred
dollars an acre for any land in West
Virginia that contains seam or vein
of even single foot in thickness, and
when shown the ore acknowledged
that it was genuine, but declared
that it bad been imported. That
black-b band ore does occur in West
Virginia, is to-day well known to a
number Of persons. There is seam
on the Gauley river, Of about foot
in thickness Of good ore, which l nn-
derstand Mr.. Lewis and others are
making preparations to work. The
great trouble with blackboard ores
as heretofore found in this country
has been their limited extent. At
Fort Washington, for instance, they
have a very fine showing of ore, but
it soon gave out.
"The deposits to which l call at
tention are situated about nine miles
from Charleston, w. Va, and lie at
the head Of Davis Creek. This bed
has not been worked.
"Only one drift has been driven
into it, and that only about sixty feet,

acres.

From the American Register.
The spoils system under the Re
publican administrations has devel-
oped a condition of things unparal-
leled in the history Of any civilized
country. Under its influences every
politician of the ruling party, from
the highest to the lowest, is COMPEL
ed to join in the general scramble for
place and the profits that may be
made out of its emolumentA He is
worthless as a party man who de-
clines to be used for this purpose.
Public office, under the scrupulous
system of jefferson, was regarded as
a sacred trust confded by the people
to faithful servant. It's now treat
ed as the property of the oflie-holder,
to be held for the benefit of himself
and the choice spirits who share with
him the plumber that may be wrung
from the taxpayers by its unscrupu-
lous administration. Under this per-
nicious systempublic officials become
the dispensers of what are regarded
as the spoils of victory-the offices
of the Government with their sala-
ries, perquisites and stealings.
Politicians are expected by their
supporters to be always ready to
help any hungry adyenturer, who has
voted the winning ticket, to whatey-
er he chooses to ask for. From the
proud Senator down to the petty gam
bier in ward election returns all are
expected to be jealous and expert
spoilsmen. The influence of this
corrupting system permcates every
branch of the public service. 1t pro-
notes vulgar traffic among the low
est subordinatcs, such as that recent
ly disclosed in the Treasury Depart
ment, where petty larceny has been
for long time practiced in connec-
tion with the furnishing of supplies.
Without such a system and the easy
facilities it affords for frauds on a gil
gantic scale, the corruptions in the
War and Navy Departments under
Grant, and of the Post Office Depart
ment under Hayes, would have been
impossible. 3Y ~ ir'Hfs'
The spoils system has been the
fruitful source of greater corruptions
and more grievous scandals, during
the past twelve years, than any other
vice in American politics. And now
the dominant party, in a tempest of
passion, is being rent and torn into
discordant and angry factions, each
struggling to overthrow and destroy
the other; and all about spoils. On

rel appears. Meanwhile the Depart
