The most cowardly and BASTARD
ly assault that has lately been COM
mitted in this city was the brutal
assault made Monday night, on
board the Lake steamer Heroine,
by young fellow named Wilson,
on Judge r. H. Marr. Judge Mari
is one of the most eminent, patri-
otto and courteous gentlemen in
this city. anu is incapable of inten-
tional rudeness to any one. Natu-
rally of a frail constitution, be has
been for some time in i'll health,
and is 65 years of age. To assault
such q citizen because of q polite
request for an Insignificant favor. is
an act Of il famous brutality that
eclipses anything the hoodlums
have yet attempted in this city. It
is to be hoped, for the credit of our
laws, that the assailant of this VEN
cradle gentleman, who has served
his State with fidelity in her po-
litical troubles, and later as Q JUS
tice of the Supreme Court viii be
brought to justice and punished rs
his crime deserves to ba.-Daily

JUDGE r. Fl. MARI ASSAULT.
ED ON THE STEAMER
HEROINE.
[Times-Democrat.l

The steamer Heroine steamed
into the New Canal at West End at
10 o'clock last Monday night, hav-
ing on board large party of ex-
cursionists from across the Lake.
Judge R: 81. Mari, Z. C. W. Ellis.
Judge Powell, Judge McYea. Capt.
Sam Houston and Mr.. J. L. Berry
were among the passengers, ana as
the vessel neared the mouth. of the
Canal they busted themselves col
Letting their baggage, preparatory
to disembarking. Judge Mari left
his companions, and walking to the
port side of the steamer began to
cast adrift his fishing tackle, which
he had made fast to the guard.
In q few moments he returned 70
his companions, bleeding and bruis-
ed, and, in a terrible state of ex-
element, informed them that be
had been assaulted by a yoang
man, without cause or propagation.
Of course the gentlemen were in
dignant at the rough manner in
which the Judge had been treated,
and fastened to hunt up his assail-
ant, who, however, had taken adj
vantage of the excitement and left
the boat. From Capt. Sam Hohs-
ton. who made statement to
Iimes-Democ4'ot reporter, it is
learned that when Judge Mari
reached the port side Of the boat
he cut one of the strings With which
his fishing tackle had been made
fast, and not wishing to disturb
some ladies who were leaning
against the guards. he handed his
knife to their escort, q young man
named Wilson. who is in the en-
ply of W. G. Coyle & Co., and po-
litely asked him to sever the piece
of string which confined the other
end Of the fishing-pole. whereupon
Wilson became very indignant, and
turning to Judge Mari, roughly
told him that he did not come
aboard the boat to cut strings for
any one, and furthermore, that he
had no right to bring bis tackle on
the deck; and concluded his TRADE
by ordering the Judge to 60 below.
This the Judge refused to do, and
young Wilson began his assault.
Picking up Judge Marr, who is a
feeble old gentleman, he threw him
violently to the deck, and when the
Judge tried to regain his feet he
again threw him with great force,
serious injuries. Some of
the passengers interfered, and
Judge Mari sought out his friends,
as stated above. Judge Mari is
badly hurt, both his wrists being
injured and his face bruised. His
clothing was torn from his body in
the struggle, and it is feared that
the nervous excitement consequent
ON the assault will result seriously.
His friends state that had they met
Wilson they would have avenged
the insult and indignity cast on the
Judge, but as he escaped, they will
see that he is prosecuted to the full
extent Of the law. Alady who wit
messed the assault and the colored
porter, have given their names to
Judge Mari. and will appear when
summoned to testify in the case.

Il is hardly necessary to say that
there are, sometimes, complaints
about the want of considerate at
-tention to the public affairs q the
parish, and it ought not to be
necessary to say that the business
of four or five thousand people de-
serves rs considerate attention as
that of few individuals. But the
proposition here IS to know wketh-
er the people wish to have districts
oftwo wards with one Police Jury
man for each district, or continue
the present system. Some favor a
reduction N the number Of jury
men, while i'll other respects it
would be an inconvenience 10 have
the area of the wards increased.
It may be questionable about a
few jurymen being more consider
ate than the many, but some of the
many often seem to be Indifferent
about giving diligent attention to
the common affairs of the people.
Many of our citizens have des-
paired about getting control Tin

erament; but the States are allow
ed no other form Of government,
and by a little special legislation
we may regain our Inherent right.

tCapitoGan- Advocate.

ASuplAObSs4.u ubOSaSC.
In the ante-bellum days Louisi-
ana had system of laws govern
ing the collection of debts, that
were very upfayorable for the Sc
curity of Investments. The tacit-
mortgage system, and the tedious
procedure Of courts in the trial OF
cases, made money-lenders cautious
in their investments. And the
reputation thus created has chung
to her ever since the war, although
her legal system has been SO radi-
cally changed. in all these respects,
that there is no country in the
world where innocent parties deal
ing in the faith of ostensible titles
are better protected. The open
books in the recorders Office reveal
all the membranes on property,
and the ten years prescription gives
almost perfect security against dor
mant claims. The Circuit Court
system has guaranteed the speedy
trial of causes, and there is no civ
ilized country where the admins
tration Of justice, on the civil side
of the court, is more expeditions.
All these changes have been in
the direction of reform and pro-
gress; but, like all reform move
ments, this has been accompanied
by fever of revolution. and has
gone into excess. The courts ex-
hibit a contemptuous estimate of
the homestead exemption, and they
have so narrowed its scope in judi
cial construction that we have pyac-
ticaliy no homestead exemption in
this State at all. This spirit, mani
tested by legislatures and constitu-
tional conventions, as we'll as the
courts, is q great mistake. The
homestead exemption is in the line
Of modern progress, the develop
ment of that liberal spirit of trade
that has abolished Imprisonment
for debt, and freed enterprise of
some of its most restrictive letters.
It simply puts a charmed circle
around the home, which under its
operation is not endangered by the
excuses Of speculation and adven-
ture. It protects the family from
the improvidence of the husband
and the father. It creates one
oasis, where domestic life is secure
from the chicanery Of plotters and
the accidents of business. It is

"Citizen" states that the question
is being discussed of charging the
districts and reducing the number
Of Police Jurymen. We think the
present arrangement is much the
best. The wards are large in area,
if net in population, and their re-
spective interests can be served to
better advantage By having each
ward represented in the Police
Jury. It is the duty and privilege
Of the citizens Of the various wards
to make their wants known to the
member Of the Police Jury for their
ward. by petition or otherwise, and
the matter will receive prompt at
tenticn at the meetings Of the Po-
lice Jury. As for republican
form of government" or govern
ment in which the supreme power
is in the hands Of tile people, and
directly exercised by them, through
their chosen representatives, we
have that already, ard have had it
ever since the overthrow of Radi-
calism III tins State, and the result
is seen on all sides, by the increas-
ed prosperity of the people and
the wise ADMINISTRATION of the laws.
The only inherent right" which
the people haze. to great extent,
been deprived of, under our pres
ent government. is the fright to
complain, for want of cause.
But under the most perfect system
there will always be found some
body to complain Of imaginary
wrongs. Governments, like in
dividuals, can't please everybody,
and we must accept that which
works the greatest good to the
greatest number. We have such a
system Of government at present,
in this parish, and should strive to
perpetuate it indefinitely, with only
such moderations as our gradually
increasing prosperity may require.

pointed by Foster, decides that: mo
beer, ale or intoxicating liquors of any
kind can be sold at plcnics or fair
grounds, to excursion parties or at meet
ings of any kind without payment of
tax for each particular time. If a man
has a saloon and has paid his tax he
cannot upon that payment sell to pic
mic party or any where else but in his
saloon. If he takes or sends his liquors
to any other place to sell them he must
pay another tax. However, there is
nothing to prevent him selling to the
picnic party from his place of business
and the party can take the beer along
and drink it without being taxed for
the privilege"
