SOME NEEDED CHANGES. Under this
heading the Monroe Bulletin publishes
an article in which it declares that there
are a number of omissions made by the
the last legislature which the present
one ought to supply, prominent among
which are the restoration to the people
of the right to choose their own Police
JuIies, amendment of the jury law so
that fewer exemptions shall exist, and
the choice of jury Commissions by the
people; the abolition of the Louisiana
Lottery and the enactment of an cleo
tiou law intended to secure a free and
fair ballot, and not as a gateway for the
eptrance Of fraud. Sugar Planter,

The Legislature, it seems, has some
doubt about the legality of the adop-
ton Of the State debt amendment. It
has ordered an investigation. There is
now no doubt but that this amendment
was fraudulently counted through by
such parishes as Tensas, where it is said
about 1000 votes were polled and nearly
1000 counted and every one counted for
the Observation-Disclosures Tribune.
