not blast have any rights which those engaging
in that exercise are bound to respect.

The great Worlds Exposition, at
New Orleans. will be formally
opened next Tuesday, the 10Th
inst. It was intended that Presi-
dent Arthur should open the Ex-
position in person. but he states
that his duties will not permit him
to be present. It is proposed, how
ever. to have him open the Fxpo>i-
ton by telegraph. The plan is to
clear one of the Western Union
wires, and attach one end to motive
power machinery in the EXPOSE
ton. The other end will be con-
nected with the White House, and
at a fixed moment, everything be-
ing in readiness at New Orleans,
the President. surrounded by his
Cabinet, members of Congress,
judges and government officials and
foreign representatives, will press
Il button in the Executive Mansion,
and simultaneously set the vast
machinery of the Exposition in
motion. The President has taken
the proposition under considera-
ton. and it will probably be accept
ed. He will pay visit to the Ex-
position in January.

The Doc LAW UNcoSsrITUrIoS-

The Doc LAW DEMONSTRATIONS
AL---Jud ge Charles McVea, in II
session of the Circuit Court, at
Marksville. on the Sd inst, decided
that Act LOT of 1882. denyius the
protection of the law to dogs that
have not been placed on the ASSESS
ment rolls, is unconstitutional. In
the course of his remarks Judge
McVea said:
A dog can no longer be consid-
cred a wild animal. They are in
many instances of great value to
the owner, aud he can only be pro-
t-cted In lis ownership by allowing
HIM all the protection the law nc
cords to other property, and this
right cannot be restricted by the
pass"ge of an act declaring them
to be property only when placed
upon the assessment roll. It would
li"raiy oe contended that the Leg
lslature could enact law declaring
F." horse no longer property unless
he was properly assessed. and yet
this is i'll effect what Act lot does
in regard to dogs. The act is eD-
titled can act with reference TO
property in dogs" The entire act
to our view, is one of those sump-
tuary enactments resorted to by
the Legislature to collect Il revenue
by some imagined speedier pro-
cess. We consider the act uncon-
stitutional i'll this respect. Having
right Of property in the dog, the
plaintiff had a right of action to sue
for his value and such damages as
he may have suffered from the kill
ing.
