WE hear numerous complaints
lodged against our Town authorities
for the seeming partiality shown to
some parties who have been arrested
and tried, but who have never paid
the fine imposfd by his honor, the
Mayor. This is hugely inconsistent,
and not in conformity with the ordi
uances. Come, gentlemen, this will
never do for retormers.
THE Madison (Wis) Democrat,
in endeavoring to treat the wounds
received by the candidates for the
presidency, wisely prescribes St. ia
cobs Oil. Of course we could not
expect our wo.thy contemporary to
do otherwise t an recommend that
famous Old Ger man Remedy-which
"heals all wounds but those oflove''
and soothes all pains, save those of
political disappointment. 81 Calves

Our RoADs.-This is subject
on which we could write for hours;
but then it would not be interesting
to our readers, nor would it move
those whose business it is to see that
they are kept in q proper and fit
condition for the public. Day af
ter day we hear complaints aad cur
ses hurled at our Police Jury for not
moving in the matter. We do not
care or even wish to forever parade
this subject, (Which to us is any
thing but pleasant nor do we want
the public to exclaim and say, that
as a public journalist, we have failed
to do our duty. No, far from it,
The Bayou Robert road, at the pre-
sent writing, is In condition that
is both horrible and dangerous to
those who are compelled to travel on
it. . In one place, it is said that the
horses entirely disappearin the mud,
mot in the water and are lost sight
of for a time, while the buggy or
wagon sinks to the body, and then
has to be pulled out by power. This
is frightful, indeed. We once more
ask our parishioners to move.
