1t is with regret that we have to
chronicle the departure from our
midst of Judge A. Cazabat, whose
condition of health induces him to
change his domicile, as will be seen
from his card published elsewhere in
this Issue. The Judge deserves snd
has the best wishes Of this eommn-
nifty. for, as their trusted and legal
adviser, he has faithfully protected
their interests, and in the most try
ing period Of the history Of the
parish he unilinchingly stood by
them, at great peril and sacrifice to
himself, and has ever been abreast
of the foremost OF the Democrats OF
North Louisiana. As Judge upon
the bench, as counsellor and advo-
cate. and as private citizen our old
friend has made record Of which
any man might be proud. and in
saying farewell to him we are sure
we but echo the sentiment of the
community in wishing him . com.

prosperity for himself and and bis

During Gov. Wiltx's absence let
ter was received at the Stats-house
from F. w. Darlington. of Monroe.
La, asking under what authority the
register Of the State land Office re-
quired applicants who wished to pur-
chase land from the State under the
provisions of act No. l04, approved
May 81, 1871, to make settlements
and cultivation before patent can
be obtained for tho land.
Upon the Governors return the let
ter was submitted to him. An answer
was yesterday forwarded to Monroe.
in which tie Governor. after acknowl-
edging the receipt of the letter, says:
Calling your attention to section
10, of act No. IS Of 1880 which grants
public lands, to q limited extent. for .
small price for actual settlement and
cultivation. and to the fact that many
persons have availed themselves of
this privileges without the intention to
settle or cultivsta. using for the pur-
pose spurious afiidavits, made III the
name Of unknown or irresponsible
persons, / would respectfully suggest
that the register of the land Office
does no more than his duty in de-
mandiDg positive evidence Of good
faith OF the applicants in every case.
'sThe State grants these donations
or privileges Of purchase ct : nominal
price on the condition Of actual occu-
patton in the near future. This condi-
ton ought to be regarded, and COM
pliance should be given in such man
ner AZ to prove the register that the
object of the law IL not defeated.
"My attention was called in Decem-
Der, 1880, to the abuses committed
under the pretsnse of entering land,
and on the fourteenth Of that month
the following notice was issued by
L. ]. Fremauxs register:
1T having come to the knowledge
of this Office that the Law hes been
evaded by persons obtaining patents
for lend entered for their own, use
and benefit and not for the purpose
of actual settlement and cultivation.
under the provisions Of section 10 of
act No. IS, approved April I, 1880.
the public is hereby notified that from
and after this date no patent viii be
issued on application for actual set
Element and cultivation without due
proof to the entire satisfaction for the
purpose indicated in the law.
"a rule adopted in accordance with
laws for the protection of the State
against improper action can work no
hardship to those who desire to avail
themselves in good faith Of these lib
eral State grants. I know mo- reason
why tho rules should be discontinued
at this time"

Congressman Hurd, of Ohio, is Just
now very busy in New York. organi-
zing free trade leagues, with the view
of making the movement national.
He says the intention is to have
league in every State in the Union be-
fore the year is out, with the parent
society in Washington and the finan-
cial and executive bureau here. The
campaign is to be pushed something
after the fashion Of the Land League
in Ireland. subordinate societies re-
porting quarterly at headquarters for
counsel and instruction. The idea
seems to be that the Democrats lost
the last presidential election solely in
consequences Of the mismanagement
of the tariff iseue, and it is part of the
programme Of the new organization
to prevent like Encouragement in fu-
ture. At the same time the aim will
be not to make it appear an exclu-
sively Democratic movement, and 10
that. end it is quite probable several
Western Republicans will have q
place in the management. Mr.. Hurd
has no doubt that free trade will
overtop all other Issues in the mex.
presidetial election, and that, as the
people need to have ideas on the SUBJ
ject, it is not . minute too soon to
commence agitating The question. Co
operating with Mr. Hurd are many
well-known New York gentlamen Of
large means. who have only been
sentimental free traders heretofore.
and who have pledged themselves to
take more sctive part in the agita-
tons in future. As soon a. the State
leagues are thoroughly organized .
series of public meeting throughout
the country will follow.

Making Watches.

Defective watch cases are one of the chief
causes of so many watches not being good
time pieces. The cases being thin and not
fitting we'll, admit dust and dirt to the move
ment, which soon interferes with the running
parts of the watch, necessitating cleaning, re-
pairing, &C., and the amount thus paid out if
applied toward buying good case in the
beginning, would have saved all this trouble
and expense. We have recently seen case
that meets all these requirements, it having
been carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD CASE, which has
become one of the staple articles of the jew
elry trade, possessing as it does so many
advantages over all other watch cases, being
made of two heavy plates of solid gold over q
plate of composition, and we advise all our
readers to ask their jeweler for a card or cat
alogue that will explain the manner in which
they are made.
1t is the only stiffened case made with two
plates of gold, seamless pendants, and center,
solid joints, crown pieces, &C., all of which
are covered by letters patent. Therefore buy
no case before consulting a jeweer who keeps
the JAS. BOSS PATENT STIFFENED GOLD
CASE, that you may learn the difference be-
twee n it and all limitations that claim to be
equally as good.

see the warrant that accompanies each case,
