Tire cholera scare in Italy has brought

arrived al: In The year 1882 the prussian
treasury collected nearly $4,000 marks
(sbout sI4,O0O,O0O) from tho tax on eau.dc-
vic, Of which about 100000 marks were
refur ded in tie shape Of drawbacks for ex-

How can n judicial blunder OF circuit

First. BY a rehearing. Whenever the

interested. TO set aside his former Judgment
and rehear the case. Thi, Is the bes' way
when the Judge has character aud force

Second. BY writ Of error: In the case Of
Faure the defendants filed an answer ana
were heard by counsel. In the case OF
Hamilton and all the other ca.e,. rs the
record shows, judgment was rendered for
the plaintiffs or parte, and against the de-
Pendants by def0H. No application was
made for q writ of error. 80 thai the
Judges certificate rs to the value OF The

lie took judgment for only $500 oi c0u-

his ease writ OF error may be- impossible.
But in all Of the other cases exceeding

Third. In case the Circuit COur; SHALL re-

system changed from a unanimity

US unreasonable especially when w

first began of road between this

last number, we think that a branch
from here to Lafayette, considering
the projected road from the latter
point to Baton Rouge, would be as
feasible and better paying. Our
people should open their eyes to the
importance of such a work and i'm.
mediately 60 to work and see what

Most persons have an idea that
any one who sends a letter a tele'

of delivery and have it returned to
him. Such, however. is not the fact.
The postmaster at the office of mail.

call a letter. This authority was
recently given. the privilege hereto.

They are all familiar names in this
community and nothing need be said
in regard to their we'll known abill-
ty and integrity Z; but these essen
tial qualities do not constitute the
only qualifications Of men to make
good Police Jurors !: 1t also requires
an abundance Of independence en-
durance and perseverance.
We hope and believe that the
new members, when installed, will
follow the example set by their pre-
decessors in administering the affairs
of the parish, under their control
economically, honestly and impair
tally. Two of the appointees serv
ed in that capacity for a number O.
years and know the condition OF the
affairs of the parish. We believe
the appointment emmently proper
and will give general satisfaction
One thing is certain, however, anc
this is that "they will be judged &C
cording their acts' by the scrutiniz
ing and ever vigilant public eye.
