Report Of the Grand Jurors.

State Of Louisiana, Parish Of Concor-
dia. Ninth judicial District Court,
Regular April Term, 1888.
To the Honorable Wade II. Hough,
Judge OF tho Ninth Judicial District
Court, holding sessions In and for
the Parish of Concordis, State of
Louisiana.
Tho Grand Jurors of The State Of
Louisiana duly empannelled and
sworn, in and for the body of the
Parish of Conoordia, most respect
fully submit the following report,
viz:
We have carefully examined and
inquired into all matters and things
of criminal nature, that have been
brought to our notice and find upon
investigation that crimes Of every
grade, are fast decreasing in our Pa
ism and that the character and gener-
al department Of our fellow citizens
have become much improved within
the past six months.
The Clerk of Police Jury camo be-
fore us In relation to Road Ovorseers
throughout the Parish; he repor Is
Road Overseers have failed 10 for
ward their reports for reason that
tho prevailing high stage of water
has placed their roads in such a stu
alton throughout the Parish general
ly that 1t is utterly impossible 20
have their respective roads worked.
We have carefully examined tho
books and vouchers of w. r. Evans,
Esq, Treasurer Of the public school
fund and find the same correct, and
that they are kept In neat. mastery
and.business-like manner.
Upon examiOation of the Parish
jail we fad the cells in a clearly con-
dition and the prisoners therein con-
fined express themselves well satisfi-
ed ut the treatment they receive Mt
tho hands Of the Sheriff, and his as
sistants. The Court House we found
I'm clearly ana creditable condition,
also the Sheriff7s, Clerks and Recor-
der's offices which we also found in
creditahln condition-7books, papers
and offices generally being in moro
sVstpnatic and busineSs like monnpr
than at any time for the past twenty
five years.
We examined the books of Parish
Treasurer as ex-oflicio Treasurer of
Township Interest Fund, and we
find same correct and kept in a mas
terly manner.
We hereby tender our thanks to
your Honor, to the Hon. Thos. =.
Clinton, Dlstrict Attorncy, p. w.
Chase, Sheriff, J. 7. Ball, Jr., Clerk of
Court and to all other officers of the
Court for their courteous treatment
and assistance rendered us to faclli-
tate our labOrs, and as there Is no fur
ther business before us, and believing
that we have accomplished all for
which we were empannelled to &C.
complish, we most respectfully ask
that we be discharged.

News from along the overlooked
section of the Vicksburg, Shreveport
and Pacific Railroad is to the effect
that tho same will not be ready on
the regular schedule before the first
of May, or even then only in case
there is no additional water from the
Mississippi. There is now forE-six
inches of water on the track.

The Works Mt Plum, Point UnInJured by
The Recent Overflow.

Regarding the condition Of tho Gov
eminent works at Plum Point since
Tho great flood passed away, the To-
port of the officers OF tho steamer
Henry Frank may prove interesting
TO the friends of the River Commits
sion, and especially TO the CONNER
cial Gazette and others of ike ilk,
who have predicted dire disaster to
ove1y detail Of the works ut Plum
Point and elsewhere, and who have
especially insisted that the pilling
driven from the main shore to Butler
ton Tow Head had been totally wash
ed away. The Frank came up be-
hind the tow head, and i'm attempt
ing TO como out at the head Of the
chute found her course ObstruOted by
n formidable array OF piling, driven
there by Government engineers be-
fore tho high waters, all intact. not
q silgle ono gone, or even dislocated
and only by dint of careful search
was passage found near tho shore,
between tho piling, Of sufficient
width toadmit of her passage through
Tho work at the head of tbe chute
is not completed, otherwise Mt this
stage of water, boats could no5 by any
possibility pass through. Pilots who
have successfully run this channel
without interruption have done so
either at n stage of the river high
enough to admit passage entirely over
works, or have passed between pill
ing which remains unfinished, ahd in
making their reports carefully sup
press the cause of their ability to do
so. Capt. Hicks failed to discover
any dislOcation of any part of the
works III hand, and declares that the
entire system OF mattress and pile
work remains intact, perfectly unin-
jured, and in as good condition every
way as Nnen nigh waters suspended
operation. This is the evidence of
practical man, whose opportunities
FOR examination we've good, and at
stage of water when everything ap-
pertaining to the works was i'm full
Wow. The same state of affairs is re-
ported by Capt. Henry Hurt, an in
telligent, thinking, practical pilot, in
charge of the wheel of the John Gil
more, who reached here this morn
ing from below. He predicts n thor
ough, solid closing of the chute with
in a reasonable time by the system
now boing pursued, and expresses
most implicit faith in the ultimate
success Of the system of Improvement
adopted by tho River Commission. -

The opportunities and advantages
of the South as a field for speculation
are the results of the war by which
the whole Southern land was sudden
ly brought down from prosperity to
poverty. OF course we had the soil,
and tho manufacturing sites, and the
mines and forests all here before the
war came upon us, but if negro sla-
very had not been destroyed, If the
Southern farms and plantations had
not been laid waste, if tho Southern
people had not been made poor, the
remnants of fortunes saved in lands
from the wreck could never have
been bought at the low prices at
which they are offered now. In fact
if there had been no war, the old
slave States would still be going on
In the old grooves, and entirely free
from all desire for any such innova-
tions rs have been introduced under
the new regime. But the war result
ed in a general revolution throu ghout
the South and as a result of that
revolution, there were never such OPP
pOrtunities seen as are now offered in
all parts of her territory for the most
lucrative speculAtions. - Industrial

The rumor that the British government has in
MINATED purpose TO hold TIE United States NOR

van Rosa and his kind gains believers every day.
but it Is nevertheless only runor, according to
the best evidence obtainabe 1t Is easy to see how
England might think the disapproval on the part
of a friendly power Of the doings and language OF
some OF the excitable people who have found
refuge On her territory would be not only grace
ful act OF comfy between nations, but NOV ement
toward the preservation Of Innocent human life:
but up to this time there IS no reason TO believe
the British government has given utterance to any
such expression. The only foundation for the story
seems to rest upon the Imagination of sensational
newspaper correspondents. aided somewhat, per-
haps, by the mysterious head-shakings OF few
