SOMEWHAT Of sensation Was produced
in Court Wednesday by the resignation Of
J. II. Napier from the Grand Jury. II
seems that some one wanted TO indite him
for carrying concealed weapons, and at
first, believing that il was done with mali
cious intent, he refused 10 withdraw FROM
the Jury, but after consulting friends he
concluded TO resign. lie claims that one
Wat Drye came up behind him aud gave
him blow on the head with a club, that
he ran into his house and got pistol and
sticking II in the wais, Of his pantaloons,
sailed forth to meet his foe. The pistol,
he states, was never concealed, which fact
he claims he can prove, and did prove to
the satisfaction Of Judge Brown, who ac-
quilted him. ID Is further alleged, how
ever, that Brown held no Court and swors
no witnesses in the case, but merely took
his (Napier's) and another mans state
ment about il. The whole matter ought
to, and doubtless will, be investigated. T.
7. Davis took Napier's place on the jury.

CAN THEY GETSCN0EA!

Tho scheme of planting American
colonies in the Mexican State of Sonora
makes Information at this time about
that region, and about the Indians who
iuhabit it, both interesting and useful.
Such Information is furnished upon
apparently trustworthy authority by
the San Francisco Post and the Virginia
City Chronicle. The editor of the latter
journal recently paid Il visit to Sonora,
and made careful observations of the
country and its people. he describes
| the valley of the Yaqui River, q stream
that cmpties into the Gulf of California
about fifteen miles below Guaymas, as
one of the most fertile regions in the
| world. The.mincs of Sonora are we'll
known, and are by many believed to
contain more wealth than was ever
hidden in the bonanza mines of
Ncveda; and the climate of this fair
land is said to leave nothing to be
desired.
But if these attractions have long
filled spectators in California and
other States with Il desire TO get Sonori
for themselves, the Indians, who have
dwell there for generations, arc not in
sensible to them, either. Like othcl
Indian tribes OF Mexico, Central anC
South America, audunliilc those of tiit
United States, the Ianqui Of Sonor;
are naturally a peaceful, Industrious
and hospitabic people, fond of agricul
turc, and willing to leave their neigh
bors undisturbcd, if not di5turbct
themselves. The men go into TN
mountains and work in The mines, or +

serve as porters. woodchoppers, wafer
carriers, and in loading and unloading
vessels; while the women attend to the
garden patches and small farms at
home.
At the same time no people are
Drawer or more warlike in defence OF
their rights. OF powerful. physical
build and capable of great endurance,
| they can be the hardest kind of fighters,
and they number fifteen thousand souls,
/ with three or four thousand men Ca
pable of bearing arms. This tribe have
never recognized the Mexican Govern
ment, and refuse to pay taxes. They
regard the land on which they dwell
as their own inalienabie domain. Yet
the Mexican Government now grants
two tracts in the fairest part of the
valley to Ca!ifornians, partly in li4uida-
ton of money claims, and partly for
colonizing purposes; one that covers
forty-two leagues, between the Naqui
and Mayo Rivers, ana another that
embraces nearly 100000 acres.
White colonists who have attelnpteG
to settle upon one of these tracts have
already been driven off, and travellers
are now compelled to give the region
wide berth. 1t has been said that the
Mexican Government proposes to send
troops 10 Inc valley 10 pfOtect intending
settlers. Thus far no decisive steps in
that direction seem to have been taken;
but whether this promise be fulfilled or
not, there can be no doubt that an at.
tempt to take Sonora from its Indian
owners will mean Il war Of eXternlina-
ton. The Yaquis will fight against the
preparation of such a wrong with
desperate bravery, and a war that must
cost thousands of lives will hardly be
likely to end except with the destruc-
ton Of the tribe. 1t is well that a Eeri-
cans who have been looking toward
Sonora and its contemplated settlements
should have distinct understanding Of
these facts.

THE MORGAN ROAD.
MarksYillc KcYicW. ]

Where is the Morgan Road going
what is its objective point-are qucs-
tons easily asked, but to lis difficult to
answer. Is it to stop at Alexandria,
and to run almost parallel with the n.
o. Pacific from the mouth of Huff
power on to Alexandria? 1fso, we
fail to see the point, the object of the
managers of said road.
Does the Morgan Road contemplate
continuing on from Alexandria to
Arkansas If so why follow the track
of the N. o. PACIFIC to Alexandria.
Why not, we ask, leave Bayou Bout
at HolmesVille or at some point below
that village, and take a direct route for
| Arkansas via Cottonport, MarzsvslIe,
and Monroe. This route would not on
| ly be more direct but would traverse
| the parish Of Avoyelles. parish
among the best in the State and from
which an immense amount Of trade
would be drawn-The road would then
cross Red River about Experiment
plantation and the on by direct route
to Monroe and Arkansas-It is never
too late to do good and we therefore
hope that the managers of the Morgan
road will take the matter under con-
sideration. Their road will yield them
no revenue along the entire line rom
Holnesville to Alexandria, whereas
from below Holmcsvillc to where it
would leave the Avoyclles liue n orth
of Red River it would pass through a
| rich, productive country whose bust
ness would soon pay for every foot of
road constructed on the soil Of Avoycl-
les. Messrs. Whitney Il CO, stop and
consider!

The following extract is from an
official report to the Governor Of
Louisiana in 17S6, made by Captain
Jean Filhiol, first Cammandante of
Ouachita:
Giles poissops les plus communs sont
les poissons armcs, la barbue, carpo, ct
lie cosse d,uyot."
Gaspergoo is certainly not French !;
nor is ssSmackover," which is an
Anglicism for WetnM coetcert. But
casse-burgot is French-a compound
word from cttsser, to break, aud bu1yot,
a bow net; meaning, therefore, net
breaker. The casseburgot is a strong,
gamey fish; and Mr.. Anderson, the
fisherman, will inform any enquiring
mind that tho fish is not inaptly named
the ssnet-breaker." G.
So writes a contributor to the BulIc-
tin.
Several years ago, ten or more, the
writer asked the late Major Bry, who
was an excellent English, as we'll as
French linquist Uhe latter being his
native tongue) the correct spelling of
the name of the fish referred to. We
made a note of the spelling at the time,
but have failed, after search, to find
the memorandum book in which it was
| written down. The French Of the now
Anglicised name, if We do not forget
was casscr, to break, and bsuyeott, a
shell. Major Bry explained that this
fish lived on mollusca, and in our river
ON the muscle-shcll With which all our
fresh water streams abound. lie called
our attention to the rows of teeth to be
found in tic Woro.c and the very mus
cular formation of the jaws. We have
often since examined these fish, and
found that nature has provided them
with bony protuderances, resembling
large, round teeth, and once was COM
pletcly pcrpleXed by a skeleton head of
one of these fish. They are not net
breakers, but sheel-breakers. Their
great power is in their heads, and not,
! like the horses of old, in their tails.
Parboiled well, stuffed, and baked with
tomato catsup and other condiments,
! the gaspergoo eats very well.
