TIE JUDICIARY.

The letter of Lex which appeared
in the Times Democrat of the so ult.,
in reply to ex-LeSislator's plan for
equilibrating the finances Of the State
of Louisiana, may, on first glance, be
considered almost unanswerable, but
on careful reading there can be seen
inconsistencies. In fact, we differ
with him and also with ex-Legislator
as to the plan for the reduction Of The
Judiciary OF Louisiana. OF course to
make one Judge do the work of four
for the same would be - cents on the
dollar saved to begin on. We con-
tend that as good talent can be secured
for judges for $500 or $1,000 as we
have for $1,000. Say we save IS per
cent. in reduction of districts and
then 333 per cent. on the salary.
This is great reduction, but not at
all impossible or impracticable. Say
80 per cent. reduction, and we would
have sufficient judges then to do all
the work and rest half their time.
That would be a considerable item
and an important move toward re-
trenchment.
Lex treats ex-Legislator's letter
with scarcasm and ridicule in relation
to making taxation and expenses
balance. We admit that under our
present criminal law that there is no
way by which we can make an exact
estimate of the expenses of courts, or
even approximate the expenses. The
inference drawn from reading the re-
ply to ex-Legislator is that there
would be so much change to the con-
stitution that an amendment or
amendments would be impolitlc This
may be; nevertheless we find it diff
cult to work under the present order
of things.
That a change is necessary in the
expensive judiciary of our State there
can be no doubt. That. we pay more
and get less justice than most any
other State, is another fact that can
not be denied

ragged clothes, don't talk about RAGS
in his hearing. If there is Il lame
boy. assign him some part of the
game that doesn't require running.
If there is n hungry one, give him
part Of your dinner. If there is a
dull one, help him to get his lessons.
Ii there is a bright one, dent be
envious of him; for if one boy il
proud Of lis talents and another is
envious OF them, thcre are two great
WRONGS, an,! 10 more talent than be-
for. Ii IA larger or stronger boy

POLICE RFGEI.4TiOAS.

Il will be remembered that we
suggested, during the session Of the
General Assembly. that it would be
an excellent idea TO pass an act Civ
Ing justices Of The peace in all towns,
whose inhabitants did not exceed 500,
jurisdiction as mayor, and the town
or ward constable tie authority of
marshal. Let the law lie so framed
as to give them the power and authori-
t. ofmlyoranI marshal as in a regular
incorporated town. Experience has
demonstrated the fact that towns of
less than 800 inhabitants are unable
to keep mp q town government, ex-
cept at a Very heavy expense to the
few business men and property own
crs of such town. So great is the
expense that it almost amounts to
confscation of property. Now, all
towns of the size of from 200 to 500
inhabitants can support justice of
the peace and constable provided this
additional authority is given them.
Let the money obtained for fines 90
toward repairing the streets, erecting
horse racks &c. These officers being
required to make out reports every
three months t. the police juries of
the different parishes, turning oyer
any moneys in their hands after pay
ing costs of execution. 1t seems to Us
this would be a good law. 1t may
require a constitutional amendment;
if So let the next session of the Legis-
lature provide for the same.
In small towns the people are at the
mercy OF roughs and in many places
nights are made hideous by the yells
of the savsgely inclined who discharge
fire arms at the dead hour of night,
to the terror and CONSERVATION Of tho
women and disgust of law-abiding
men. Unfortunately our little town
comes in this class. Our population
is between 900 and 500. We are too
poor to pay an enormous tax to keep
up town government and hence we
are subject TO the most annoying dis
turbances. Drunken men discharging
fire arms at all hours of the night and
now and then the screams of some
woman (colored) who is being whipped
or beaten nearly to death within q
few hundred yards of our temple OF
Justice. We need legislation and
that badly to reach such cases.

THE NEGRO rs Il JUROR.

The negro has been fully tested as
a voter and has proved an inglorious
failure. As juror he has been par
TALLY tested, and with equally unsat
isfactory results. 1t begins to be a
grave question into what mitch of citi-
zenship the brotherin-black will fit;
to date lie has been It mislt in every
garb with which post bullum enact
ments have clothed him.
Many years ago in one of the inte-
rior parishes of Louisiana a great civil
case was tried. The parish claimed
that the local tax collector was a de
faulter for several thousand dollars.
Experts were employed to look into
the books of the defaulter. For more
than three months they were engaged
in their task, and finally report came
from them that the tax collector owed
the parish Il large sum, the figures
given involving a certain number of
thousands and hundreds of dollars,
together with a specific number OF
cents. Twelve negroes We're on the
jury impaneled to try the case. But
one could write-and lie could write
but one thing-his name. None Of the
lofty twelve could read and eleven
could not write at all. For fifteen days
did court and counsel wrestle with the
intricacies of the case; for many weary
hours did the experts seek to unravel
to the minds Of the benighted Jurors
the mysteries embodied in the COM
pick figures Of the books of the tax
collector. And lastly, the learned
lawyers occupied three days in their
summing up. The Judge charged the
jury at length, and they retired.
Within fire minutes they returned
with a verdict for the parish for an
even $40,000l Their finding was of
course reversed, and the next trial
found a jury Of as dark a shade I'M
paneled to try the case. With less
than half an hours deliberation they
returned a verdict for the defendant.
We give the details Of this case at
length to show how utterly incapaci-
tated the negro is as a juror in civil
case. And in criminal matters he
seems to fare as badly. The recent
acquittal Of McDow-a verdict that
shocked the whole country-is case
in point. Embittered by race preiu-
dice, they saw an opportunity to get
even with a dead man by acquittine
his slayer, for whom be it said to
their credit, they had no special af-
lection.
The rights which were given the
negro by the hasty and hot-headed
action Of men who knew nothing OF
the race nave served the black man
no good turn. 1t may have been pos
sible that with the granting of such
rights postponed for fifty years from
the date of their freedom, the negroes
might have become at least partially
fitted to properly exercise them
Times-Democrat.
Does not the constitution of the
United States declare that every man
is entitled to be tried by his peers as
jurors? Ifso, we are not prepared to
make the admission that the colored
man is the equal of the white man.
