The Capitol is approaching COM

that of the House of Representatives
r rooted and foored; the rooms
of the first and second stories are
also foored. A survey of the edi-
fee shows that the bulk of the work
is done and that it won't be long ere
the officers can establish themselves
comfortably in their respective

Laws are operative and beneficial
only in proportion to their obser-
vance and enforcement. The peo-
pie of Louisiana seen to consider
two very important series of enact
ments special objects of enmity, at
tack and evasion. These two are
assessments and working public
roads. Yet the one is absolutely
necessary for the prosperity and
welfare end success of the State
government; the other for the con-
venience, good and advantage of the
people themselves. When they
learn that obedience to every en-
actment which looks to public and
private interest will be sure to
rebound to their own good, they will
acquiesce more readily in their re-
quirements. These two are very
important and should be promptly
obeyed and respected. -Natchitoches

The census showed a large excess
of females, white as well as black,
in the population of this city, and
yet the mortuary reports each week
show a heavy excess of males among
the deaths. For the past four weeks
1877 white males and l31 white
females have died in this city. This
makes the death rate among the
males nearly 60 per cent greater
than among the females. If this

A ST. TAAIA1ANY FISH.

Most of our readers have heard
of the attractions of Covington and
the vicinity of Abita Springs. Many
of them are familiar with the tempt
ing supply Of trout and other fishes
in the waters of the Tchefuncta and
Bogue Falia. Some of our most
fascinating young gentlemen ire
quent the shady and sequestered
hooks of st. Tammany in the sum-
mer, and drop q line to these grace
full inhabitants. We met yesterday
a stalwart friend of ours, who had
Just returned from a fishing expedi.
ton at Coyington.
He came back in triumph. He
captured a beauty. He had ex-
hausted the skill and diplomacy Of
the angler. He bad made cautious
approaches He had beguiled tho
innocent one with all the art for
which he las long been celebrated.
He held the line With the gentle
constituencies of q refined taste and
the manly 6rmness of a titan. More
than this. He had reduced to the
ranks. the most expsrt angler in
the parish and forced him to wit
ness his own defeat.
Judge Thompson. whose keen
intelligence in discovering flaws
in q legal proposition il only
equalled by his steady aim as .
hunter ard his insidious alertness
rs an angler, was forced to yield the
palm aud the prize to our conquer
ing friend, who is not altogether
disconnected with the coal trade.
We have been presented by this
skillful and scientific piscatorialist
with the fish, at least with q dia-
gram oft. Eve expected u photo.

the largest fish ever caught in the
Tchefuncta, and our friends opinion
is of great weight. in fact, Oyer(s).
ton weight.
He cannot deny it. but we regret
the overthrow OF our friend, Judge
Thompson, as q fisherman. When
u reputation has been won so nobly
it is sad to see it oyershadowed by
coal merchant. For the sake of the
profession (for the law and journal.
ism are FIRST ~consins) We wish it
had been ordained otherwise. Life
has few pleasures more enduring. in
the summer, than that of beholdirR
a bright judicial intellect, wrestling
with q fish story.
We feel disposed to suspect
treachery. Can it be possible that
the judge has been begniled into
over indulgence in turtle soup? Per.
ish the thought! We shall, how.
ever, watch our successful fisherman
for there is evidence of a deep de.
sign on his part. AID we warn st.
Tammany anglers that they must
look out for their laurels, or he will
bear away the prize.-Daly &ates.

Col. W. +. Hosmer arrived in
Covington last Thursday evening,
from the city. We are sorry to
learn that the Calonel's health is
not very good, but hope that the
eShharasing breezes of the piney
woods. and the pure, cool waters
OF our numerous springs, will have
the desired effect of restoring to
him bis usual good health and
spirits. BY the way, this is the
Colonels birthday. We do not
know his exact age. but think he is
still on tue sunny side of forty. We
take this occasion to congratulate
him. and hope he will always re-
tain his youthful appearance.

PARISH FINANCES.

We have a smaller defaulting
list than a1y parish in this State
Wetster Tribune.
Morshoase has only two resi-
dent delinquents for taxes of 1850.
Can you make a better showing than
this p Morehouse Clarion.
Our parish finances are certainly
in a healthy condition. thanks to
ouI very able and efficient police
jury. The year is over half gone
and yet the parish treasury is in
condition to meet all outstanding
claims that may exist against it.
We clir the above from the More
house Clarion. We IRE glad to
learn that there is another parish
which has fallen under the manage
ment of good, honest and practical
men, who have rescued it from debt
and placed it on q solid financial
basis.
Nothing impressed US more
fayorably on our arrival in Plaque
mine than the fact that Iberville
parish was free of debt with money
in her treasury, ami able to keep
her public schools going at least
five months in a year. These facts
speak in trumpet tones the wisdom
zeal and integrity of the gentlemen
composing the police jury, school
board, and the other parish officials.
UeruiUe South.
There is no good reason why St.
Tamrans parish should not be
able to make as good a showing as
the above. and we expect to be able
to record the fact before the close
OF the present year.
