three years ago, embarked in the sheep

now independent, and his indepen-
dence Is his reward for close attention
TO his business. In his vocabulary
there was no such word ae "fail," and
now that fc has demonstrated the
truth Of the old saying quoted above

he did few years since. In letter

A State wI,icl, was governed as ours
was by foreigners aud aliens who came
here to steal and who were kept in
power while they were robbing and
plundering by the bayonets of the
United States army and who laughed
at our protests and scnrned our effol ts
at self protection, is not fairly subj"c
to the odium of reputation, for TAX
ing advantage Of the first opportunity
to deny the validity and legality of
debts which had been contracted with
out consideration and in fraud OF all
her rights. Nor were the present
bnndhol,lers without notice Of our
claim of equities against these pretend
cd obligations of the State. Our repu
diaiion of Warmot'l and Kellogg was
at the time open, notorious and Known
to the whole world, and the address
issued to the world in the name of the
people Of this State, warning every
one that we were not t., be bound by
bonds issued by taem is not to be for
gotten. The bondhnlders were hold
ers with notice of equities and have II"
right to complain it they treated with
robbers and find their bonds to have
been stolen and that the rightful own
or wants his own again.
At a time when thinking men are
everywhere alarmed at the disposition
of the United States Courts to take Ju-
risdiction of matters that have always
been considered as belonging to The
Courts of the States and when the ten
dency is to deny rather than affirm
that the Stat lave any reserved
rights, the decision of the majority OF
she Court in these cases will be bail,
I'd with delight. The governments
founded by our fathers was one OF
ire cdom aud equality among the
States. The drift OF the times is to
wards Capitalization of power. If ever
our government changes its form and
loses its distinctive feature of Democ-
racy, it will by gradual encroachments
upon the liberty of the citizen and de
NAL of the rights of the States through
the Courts. 1t is a healthful sign
when an important step in that diree-
ton, as was the attempt made in these
suits, is 80 suddenly and summary
checked and discountenancea by the
highest judicial tribunal in the land.

a NEW DEPARTURE.

The proprietor of The State Central
Erpress, published in this City, rec
ognizing the want of a journal in
this State specially devoted to the
advancement of her industrial inter-
ests, and particularly the promotion

planters, has determined to make
such change in the character of the
Express as he hopes may enable him
TO accomplish the objects he has in
view.
The Express will be enlarged and
the proprietor hopes to make it one
of the leading agricultural journals
in the South.
1t will continue TO exert its ear
nest efforts to invite immigration
and capital, ana to promote the
growth aud prosperity of Alexandria
while local affairs will have proper
attention. The new paper will be ;

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY
To the Honorable, the Judge of the
District Court-l2th Judicial Dis
trint Ranidns pariah Ia.

District Court-l2th Judicial Dis
trict-Rapides Parish, La:
The Grand jury for the April
term Of the District Court, being
duly empanelled, sworn, &C., having
concluded their labors, bave the
honor tosubmit the following report:
On entering upon the discharge OF
our duties, most of us with no pre-
vious experience in such matters,
we have endeavored to take as Il
rule and guide for our deliberations
and actions the very forcible, elo-
ouent snd Christianlilie charge OF
the Hon. Judge of the Court, the
sentiment of which must find a res
ponsive chord in the breast Of every
good and true citizen.
We found accumulated'a mass Of
unfinished business, left by previous
Grand Ju1ies, unimporiant cases, all
of which, where any evidence could
be obtained, have been disposed OF.
A large majority Of the cases brought
before us were minor offences, sent
up from the courts of the Justices
~ 4bo paoca and confined almost
exclusively to our colored popula-
ton. In almost every instance the
origin of the difficulties may be
traced to an over indulgence in bad
whiskey or game of dice. On
every Saturday and often on Sunday
the spectacle Of a crowd Of negroes
may be seen congregated at almost
every roadside grocery, drinking
and gambling and making day and
night hideous by their profanity
and boisterous conduct, ending too
often in broils and fights when the
concealed weapon is brought into
requisition.
A large portion Of the time and
attention OF the Grand Jury is taken
up with number Of minor offences
against the law, resulting from the
above causes, which in our opinion
should not come before it, and we
urgently recommend that the Dis.
trict Attorney proceed directly
against ali such parties, on informa
ton and thus save not only the
witnesses the necessity Of making
two trips. but the parish a consid
cradle expense.

GAMBLING.

When it is taken into considera-
ton that right here in the metro
polls of our parish within sight Of
the Temple Of Justice, on every day
Of the week, not excepting Sunday,
the practice Of gambling is coun-
tenanced by many Of our best citi-
zens, and no effort is made to sup
press it, is it any wonder that the
less enlightened citizen Of the rural
district should be found at every
way-side grocery indulging in the
same universal practice. 1t shows
an unhealthy condition of the moral
sentiment Of the community and
until this sentiment is educated up
to a higher standard, we may ex-
pect no improvement.

PUBLIC ROADS.

It is said that one Of the best
evidences Of a high degree of the
civilization, thrift and progressive
ness of a people is the condition in
which the public roads are kept.
We would be unwilling that a
stranger visiting our parish at this
time, should Judge us by this stand
ard. Our road law is defective.
The position Of syndic of the public
roads is undesirable and thanlless,
and in most instances only work
enough is done on the roads to
shield them from the penalties of
the law. We had intended making
certain suggestions and recommen-
dations to the Police Jury, but I'M
derstanding that the whole road
system will soon undergo a revise
ment, will wait and hope for better
results,
