In the House, on the Goth, says the
City Item, while considering the appro-
priation bill on the section applying to
militia, Messrs. Duprt, of St. Landry,
and Sigur, of st. Mary, lauded the work
of the militia during the strikes in the
Teche country last year.
Mr.: Dupr6 was proud, he said, to
have been militia man; he wanted
no recompcnse, but thought that the
men who neglected their business and
he knew many who had-should receive
some recognition at the hands of the
State.
j. Sluby Davidson, the colored mem
Der of Iberville, characterized the mill
litia as "paper soldiers"
Mr.. Dupr6 indignantly repelled this
insinuation and hurled the falsehood in
the teeth of the Iberville legislator, de-
claring that he would not stand being
assaulted without resenting the assault
The matter was smoothed over and the
militia item as contained in the bill was
approved.

The House appropriation bill pro-
vides $232 $50 per annum for judicial
expenses for the next two years. The
Shreveport Democrat says of this:
Here we find the State of Louisiana,
which is unable to appropriate annual
ly a sum sufficient to care for its own
insane, but leaves them to be inhuman
ly housed in the common jails of the
parishes, actually indulging in the lux
ury of a judicial system that costs near
ly ts.rter of million dollars each
year. Surely, the Constitutional Con
vention must have been inspired by
some evil genius the day it placed such
chronic judicial incubus upon peo-
pie scarcely able to bear the burdens
inflicted by long years of spoliation and
oppression.

A RAILROAD WAX.

There was lively railroad war at
Aspen, Colorado, last week, between
track layers of the Rio Grande and Mid.
land railroads. Both companies wanted
to run their roads through canyon above
the town, and both commenced laying
track. President Scott Of the Midland,
at the head Of 200 men, charged the Rio
Grande forces, who, led by Colonel
Walters, repealed the attack with $50
Italians, armed with shovels. The fight
lasted about twenty minutes, and was
stopped by the Sheriff and police, and
sixteen of the combatants, including
Colonel Walters of the Rio Grande and
President Scott of the Midland, were ar.
rested and proceedings for injunctions
have been commenced in the courts.

stances, they will probably report no tar
