An exchange says: cit costs
New Orleans so much money to
try her officials for criminal often
ses, that the city can not afford to
squander money on gas lights and
school teachers.
The Condenser reports that not
one-tenth of the people in the
Southeastern portion of Vernon
parish, have h0mesteaded on their
lands; and urges on the people of
that section to delay no longer in
becoming the owners of their
lands, as Northern capitalists are
ever on the alert, and are turning
their attention to the pinerics OF
the South.
The people Of VIM should take
warning.
The ioscn 7'aik in It's issue Of the
i4th says: That Senator Jonas is
being pressed for the eoliectorship
of the Port of New Orleans: ard
that Senators Gibson aad Eustis,
are opposing his appointment.
The Iosca Idik adds, that a
Washington special to the New
Orleans States, referring to this
important subject says: a New
York politician, who is close to
Cleveland, said to a Louisiana
member to-day that Jonas could
have whatever be wanted in Lou
isiana, and, being reminded that
the two Senators were opposed to
Jonas, he significantly remarked:
The President is aware of the sit
uation in Louisiana. He Is aware
of the hostility of the Louisiana
Senators to Mr.. Jonas, but he
likes Jonas, and Cleveland is a big
ger man than the two Louisiana
Senators put together
There is no doubt but Jonas
would be confirmed should his
name be sent in as he is very pop
ular on both sides of the Senate"

field with laborers in the field, not
exceedingly we'll done.
