ed to Washington, accompanied by re.
quest for his removal. The Journal
says:
The complaints against Judge Fran
els, while they do not attack the honesty
of his purposes, are OF a nature to show
him to be unfit for the bench; and when
formulated in charges to be filed in the
department Of justice with evidence Of
their truth and of the alleged general
distrust of his qualifications, they are
more than enough to justify his removal
Under the law the president has nc
authority to suspend United States
Judges, SO it is probable the charges
against Judge Francis will be quietly
pigeon.holed, at least until congress

The Terrebonne Times, referring to the
character of Gov. McEenery's appointment
of delegates to the National Cotton Conytn-
ton from that parish, declares it's inability
to see the wisdom of the policy of naming
politicians TO represent cotton interests. The
Ascension delegates as We remarked two
weeks ago, we're both sugar planters. and
the cotton raising section of the parish was
entirely ignored. We rather suspect that
the Governor made his selections hit or miss
from the rosters of the Democratic parish
executive committees, assuming that the
members of those bodies represented the
pick of the wisdom and virtue of their re-
spective communities and were therefore
competent to represent everythin. and
everybody. The Ascension representatives
we're able and excellent gentlemen, as the
CHIEF has previously observed, but neither
of them raises one of the several hundred
bales of cotton produced in this parish
every year.

1t is the opinion of the Thibodaux Sentinel
that Bayou Lafourche should be closed at
Donaldsonville in order to prevent future
disaster from crevasses along that stream.
The theory of the Sentinel is thus state d.
:" The contraction in the bayou caused BY
deposits aiorg the banks, has become so
great that the water flowing in at Donald.
sonviile can not pass through with suffi-
cient rapidity to escape as fast as it enters.
Hence, at any moment, this contraction
may operate rs dam and cause the stream
above to overflow or burst the leyee."

CLEVELAND's CABINET.

On Wednesday next Gov. Cleveland will
be inaugurateo as President of the United
States, the Democratic successor of line
of Republican Chief Executives whose uni
ted terms of Office have covered period of
twenty four successive years. It is but nat
ural that the Democracy's return to pow
er after such a long re:ireme, should give
rise to an extraordinary amount of conjec-
ture as to the material with which the in
coming Executive will construct his Cabi-
net, and there are few people in the coun-
try feeling an interest in public affairs who
have not INDUCED in more or less discus
sion of this important subject.
It is deemed quite certain by the quid
n,.ncs that Senator Bayard Of Delaware will
be made Secretary of State-the premier of
the new dminstration-and surely no bet
ter selection could be made; also that Mr..
Dann.ei Manning of New York is to he
appointed Secretary of the Treasury, Sen
ator Garland of Arkansas Attorney Gen
eral, and Senator Lamar of Mississippi
Secretary Of the Interior. Mr.. Villas of Wis
consin is believed to have been decided On
for Postmaster General. Judge Endicott
of Massachusetts ia likely to be Secretar,
of the Navy, and Mr.. VIM. c. Whitney of
New York may receive the Secretary of
Wars portfolio, though the fact that the
President and two Cabinet officers will be
considered rather undue representation for
single State may induce Gov. Cleveland
to forego his alleged desire to appoint Mr.
Whitney.
Messrs. Mcdonald Of Indiana and Thur
man of Ohio have been prominently men,
toned al probable members of the Cabinet,
but it is thought that the opposition to
them among the Democrats of their own
States will prove fatal to their chances of
such preferment. Senator Jonas of Louisi-
ana has been strongly recommended for
Postmaster General. If Mississippi and
Arkansas are both to be represented in the
Cabinet, however, it is scarcely to be sup
posed that the contiguous Stale of Louisiana
will be similarly favored.

question suggested by the issues involved
in the suit of Peter A. Jones, Sheriff and
Tax Collector of Ascension, Us. Henry
Hether, a storekeeper and retail liquor
dealer doing business in the town of Don
aldsonville. partial answer to the inter-
rogatory has been furnished by the decision
recently rendered iii this case by Judges
Blake and Smith of the Fifth Circuit Court
of Appeals.
Defendant wasiproceeded against by rule
to show cause, under Act No. 4, second
extra session of 1881, aud No. 119 of 1882.
The object of the latter act, according to
its title. was "to enforce the collection OF
any aud all taxes, licenses, claims or debt
due to the political corporations of the
State, land it providesSthat' these bodies
may enforce the collection of any and all
| tdres due them within such time and in the
manner prescribed by State laws for the
collection of taxes due the State. Nothing
was said in the body of the act about IL

part of the parish that the word "taxes' u
therein was generic and included licenses,

sustained by the Circuit Court, but a re-
hearing was subsequently granted in the
parish suit and the matter taken under ad-
visement. Final judgment has now been
rendered everything and reversing the find
ing of the District Court, Judges Blake and
Smith deciding that our constitution, legis-
lative enactments and Supreme Court de-
cisions have been uniform in acknowledge

tinot;on between licenses and taxes, and
that as the former were not specifically in
cluded in the body of Act No. 119, it could
not be construed as applying thereto.
This point being now definitely passed
upon, the parish and town authorities will
be compelled hereafter-at least until the
present laws on the subject are changed
to proceed by the ordinary course of petit
ton and citation in actions to recover de-
licenses.
Another suit will be required to fully de-
eide the question as to whether parochial
and municipal corporations can legally
levy and collect licenses, inasmuch as it in
wolves the constitutionality of a tax, toll

Court for final Adjudication. As stated in

in the Circuit Court, the jurisdiction of
that tribunal not extending to the decision
of such point.
