The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1889-05-11

Police court Recorder Murphy, a
limpbacked, weakened sort of an
individual with barely enough moral
courage to play the pedagogue, is
one Of the brilliant geniuses who
0oated into Office on the Y. N. D. A..
tidal wave in New Orleans in April
last. He came within an ace of
being impeached for his repeated
and wonton neglect OF duty and his
failure to punish hoodlumism. His
friends stood by him and he was
saved to protect the hood!ums again.
OF late he has been distinguishing
himself by his leuiency to hoodlums
and his attempt to bul1doze the re-
rorters who have the nerve to shov
up his disregard for duty. cts a
long lane," etc., and Murphy's lane
may take a sudden crook with him
some day and break bis official career

A Projected Sugar Refinery.

It is reported that Judge Robert
s. Perry, Of Perry Bridge, will hniId
at that place a $4,000 sugar re-
finery.-South Illustrated.
We often hear the saying quoted,
go away from home to hear the
news" and in the above clipping it
is fully illustrated. Although the
report is to us entirely new We hope
it has @ good foundation Of truth.
Judge Robert S. Perry, although he
resides in New Iberia, has interests
at Perry Bridge, and it may be that
he knowing the eligibility Of the
site for such al enterprise, has de,
cided to make the move. IF so, we
must say we deem it a move in the
right direction. There is no Ener
section Of land than surrounds Perry
Bridge. Much cane is grown every
year, and such conveniences would
induce the planting Of more. If the
works ere established az proposed
another bright outlook prcsentsitself
to u section. Perry Bridge is but
a few miles from the railroad branch
Of Ayery's salt works, and in a short
time, without doubt, q connection
would be made and Vermilion parish
and bayou would secure that much
to be desired branch Of internal
improv ement.

The excitement created last Mon.
day at Lafayette on account of some
mel from St. Martin parish entering
that town and interfering with its
municipal election by trying to pre-.
vent the negroes from voting, we
are pleased to state, was Quoted by
the sheriff arresting twelve Of the
party and imprisoning them, since
which time they have all given bond
for their appearance before the pro-
per tribunal to answer such charges
as may be preferred against them.
There was no blood shed, consequent.
Iy there was no necessity whatever,
in our mind, for some of our leading
journals to make such a furry about
a matter that vas SO easily and so
quickly squelched by the focalcivil
authorities. We are also pleased to
state that we have a sufficient num-
Der of good and law-abiding citizens
in this part Of the State to see that
the laws Of the country are respected
and obeyed, and that all classes Of
citizens have their just rights secured
to them without the aid of troops.

This railroad company ought also to
be compelled 10 obey the ordinance
which limits the rate of speed which
railroad trains are allowed to acquire
within the city limits. The ordinance
says. The rate OF speed for engines
ard ears on railroads IN the limits OF
the city shall not exceed SIX miles per
hour" and the engineer or conductor
who violates the ordinance is liable TO
a fine not exceeding $500 and costs, or
by Imprisonment not exceeding one
