had placed the lad in Jail.

THE JUDICIARY.

We recur to this subject again, at
this time, because it will certainly be
an issue before the next session Of tho
legislature, and most probably, before
the people at the next general election;
because it is ono of the most important
questions now under discussion by the
State press, and because being matter
of great Importance we desire to place
the TELEGRAPH on record in favor OF
a thoroughly efficient system without
any reference to cost, and yet system
as inexpensive AS may be with duo and
proper reference TO thorough efficiency.
1t is freely admitted that we pay too
much for the administration OF Justice
in this State, but 1t is no: attributable
to the faultiness of the system itself.
1t Is our opinion that the merit OF
the system cannot be improved on, ex-
cept by devising plan by which oil
norae g,taestiones may be passed on by
the Supreme Court.
This modification Is Imperative.
The Shreveport Caucasian, comment
| ing ON late article in the TELEGRAPH,
says:
1t is, we believe, universally con-
coded that tbs Judiciary system of the
State is altogether too expepsive. This
expense could be largely cuftailed by
the plan suggested by the TELEGRAPH
namely, reduction in the number OF
circuit Judges. The plan it proposes
might work well, though another
might work better. Appoint three
Judges for the country parishes who
could hold one or more terms during
the year, say at Baton Rouge, Opelou'
sas, Alexandria, Shreveport and Mon
roe, to which points all cases from con-
tiguous parishes could be appealed
Again, 1t is the general opinion tina,
that there are more district judges than
there IL special need for. The number
could be reduced and, If deemed ads
visable, their salaries slightly Increased
Here large saving to tho State could
be effected. Litigation appears to DC
drifting into inuocuous desuetude, and
there are many parishes in the State
which II placed in blocks-of-hve could

During the past few weeks the
weather has been exceedingly dry. anu
late cotton. peas ana pr
tatoes are suffering to considerable
extent.
A month or six weeks ago the out
look for everytbing.on the farm was
indeed very hatteriDg, but the appeal
apce of the cotton and boil worm,
coupled with the continued droutf,
has wrought a considerable change IN
agricu!tural circles. What promised
month ago to be an unprecedented
Weld of cotton has DOW been cut DOWN
to about thrse-fourths of an average
crop.
Notwithstanding this our people
have no cause for alarm. While 1t Is
true the yield Of cotton will 'ai' Tar
short of what we anticipated few
weeks ago, and the producer naturally
feels Disappointed, yet he cannot e4-
pect TO reap bountifuily of everything
he plants. A most excellent yield OF
corn soon will be ready to harvest, and
the dry weather has given the farmers
a splendid opportunity for saving the
fodder, and well have they taken aa-
vantage of it.

Mr.. e. s. Pipes, former valued cit
izen of Union parish, but now OF
Kaufman, Texas, In letter to the
Farmerville Gazette, takes occasion TO
pay his respects to Rev. Joe Jones.
Speaking of visit to the townsville
camp ground, he says:
After passing over a distance OF
twenty miles, and noticing many
SIGNS of industry and thrift, " arrived
at the camp ground at 2:3O p. m. IN
time to catch q few words from one of
that numerous family OF Joneses-he
is the would.be prototype OF the famous
Sam. Aud now we behold place
historic for Christian Ideas and Chris

1t has been said that our utterances
pass into the circumbient air and be-
come part of that indestructlbie
which never dies. Associating TINS
beautiful thought with the feelings
inspired by the meeting of long, unde-
WAITING friends and kindred ties, the
hills turned to beauty, and tho mon"
! arcl,s of the forest breathed language
too deep to utter.
Save those who have gone to other
fields of labor, aud those who have
crossed over. the river. we met the
same grand men and women we used
to meet around this sacred spot. Our
memory called back Parish, Hodge,
Cornet, Miller, DR.. Carter, Rishop O..
B. Galloway and many sainted wo
, men whom wo do not remember by

, with emotions too deep for utterance,
we turned away with a sad heart

. fumed with the sweet, rich eloquence

We want to interpose an emphatic
demurrer to the plsn suggested by the
Caucasion in lieu of the TELEGRAPH's
proposition of certifications Of ques-
lions of law by the Circuit to the Su-
preme court.
Three judges, to sit en- 6a'ae, In Baton
Rouge, Opclousas, Alexandria, Shreve-
port and Monroe, would not remove
the second objection mentioned in last
weeks issue of this paper, bui would
on the contrary, give us two fountain
heads of jurisprudence, without any
remedy for the evil.
Again, TO those who have disputes
to settle, iudicially, or grievances to
. assert, the State rests under sacred
obligation to provide the cheapest and
readiest possible means. Appeals to
the Supreme Court, or to any court or
ganized with similar rules of pro-
cedure, cost too much in cases where
lincousiderable amounts are involved.
And yet, such litigants would like tc
!, have he"highest and ablest court in
the State pass upon the laa0 OF thei'
case. In the Supreme Court an aver
age OF $500 is required for the simple
