Almost a Fight.

! On Monday last, as the sun was neal
the western horizon, the numerous visit.
urs to Opcl0usas were entertained by
two gentlemen, one a peace officer and
the other high private. Pistols were
seen to peep out from under the coat
tails of persons in the crowd, and for q
snonlent it seemed AS il powder would
he burnt. Friends of the non belliger-
eat class promptly interposcd, the high
prisase was escorted away, and The
Court became fully otiicered by the ie-
turn of the Sheriff to his office.
We are a great people. Unnaturallzed
immigrants can sit as jurors, IN the face
III tie Jaw newly eDfranchised persons
can be honored by the Judge, to preside
over tlie deliberations of the grand jury,
when there are natives on the yenire far
better qualified and the executive off, !,

done. Qf course no one was blameable.

The Charge to the Grand Jury

Tie charge of Judge Lewis to the
present grand jury WAS plain and point
ed. He went over the customary topics
In business way, but it was rcnai ka
bic, in our opinion, in one or two OF its
features. The Louisiana Lottery seem
cd to inspire some of his expressions,
and it may have been that the Mexican
Lottery also suggested some reason for
his recurrence to the question Of bribery.
w" remember that The last Leglsia-
ture passed i:n act to dttinc The crime OF
bribery and 10 provide penalties thcie-
Tor. We have uot yet held al election
since that act was passed, amt III the
coming election there j. Il possibility mat
! no "pIiltiaiy election may I've held III
this parish, unless held hy The antls.
. Politics have been forced INTO such il
shape and attitude i.at Democrats are
not inclined to take any part in the com
biu"s that have sprung lntD existence,
and ti!r probabilities are that the people
viii vote for candidates Of tiplr own
cEnIcr. 1t such bc the course of the old
Democrats, the charge OF the Judge will
have 10 effect except upon the ants,
who are doing ;iii they can to hold phi
malirs for their separate benefit. The
Louisiana Lottery will hardly be sus-
pectcd of blibing them. How far HE
Mexican Lottery may exert itself,
through its sanity friends, We are una
bic to say. 1t might possibly be well
for tie grand jury to keep an eye in
that direction.
We are unable TO understand what
that body has to DO with something that
has not yet been done. No primaries
had been held i'll this jurisdiction, and
how the grand jury could report upon
matters which have never taken place
since the law WAS created, is Il little
more than We afc able to comprehend.
In oar uuSophiSticat!on it seems to Us
that it will be time enough to inquire
about inElHction@ Of The laws after they
have been committed. saint Patrick is
said to have driven tht suahes out of I
Ireland, but how cur Patrick can present .
any one by Indictment before the law |
has been violated may be understood by .
the Judge and Il few others, but not 10y |
the uninitiateu masses OF our people. |
Saint Patrick never would have wrought /
his miracle bad not the frogs and snakes
already been in Ireland.
When we consider the aspirations of
the Judge and the reputed ambition Of
Mr. Farmers Alliance Doorkceper Pat
Donaby to become a Iawgiver for our
people, one may he pardoned for won-
deiiDg how it came about that he-Don
ahy-was made foreman Of the grand
Jury, if it WAS not intended as a "lc-

District Court Dolngs.

The District Gou.t commenced its
laboTs on Monday. Pat Donally, an
irishman recently naturalized, was ap-
pointed by Judge Lewis foreman of tue
grand jury. Pat is an alliance man and
wants to go to the Legislature. On
Thursday he left the grand jury to go
| to Bayou Chicot and take part in the
primaries held on that day. He was
warned by the District Attorney that
witnesses iu ten different cases had
been cited to appear before tise grand
jury on that day, and that ono case was
a murder case of great moment to the
community. Pats motto seems to be
Politics before Business.' So much
! for Judge Lewis foreman,
| On Thursday morning at tue appoint
| ed hour the grand jury met in the grand
/ Jury room, to proceed with the business
| in which the parish is 50 vitality inter-
ested. Twelve grand Jurors, whose
names we take pleasure in mentioning,
responded to the call of duty. Their
names are, Clsopl.as Tate, W. J. Sims,
Ozfmt Fontenot, p. d. williams, Joa-
CHIN Joubert, Eusebe Latieur, Mat Glib
son. C. l.. Hayes, L. 3. Sandoz. Paul
Lastrapes, Gustave Pallet and Edmond
Harman. The names of the recalcitrant
absent members are Pat Donahy, fore
man Of the grand jury, Louis Sybille, T.
C. Foote and Austin Campbell
The absence OF these four jurors is
worthy of comment. The absent MEM
bers had been notified by the District
Attorney that important cases had been
fixed for Thursday, the Goth, and among
them murder case that the witnesses
were expected to he present and could
claim DO fec; and that it would he a
great hardship op them to force them to
come back again.
We know Of no reascn for these |
members to have absented themselves |
unless it was because the Goth was the |
day of the primaries. Certainly polti-
cal considerations are not sufficient to |
justify these members in absenting
themselves.
We cheerfuily commend the twelve
gentlemen, who SO nanfuly responded
to the calls OF duty and proceeded to
the transaction of business.

There is a tight fight between Mills
aud Crisp for Speakership Of the next
Congress, and opinion is divided among
the Democracy as to who should get
the prize. 1t is'yery generally conceded
that owing to the fact that Mills has led
the battle for tariff reform he should
get the Speakership, but on the other
hand it is argued that the next Speaker
must be cool-headed, self-possessed
man like Crisp, who will always have
himself we'll in hand. 1t is claimed by
many of the leading Democrats that
Mills while a very able man is entirely
too hot headed to preside over the
House, especially in session when the
Republican minority, small as it is, in-
tends to do what it can by parliament
tary tactics to make political capital for
it's side. The only thing against Mills
seems to be that he cannot govern him
self, consequently it is fair to assume
that the Democracy of the country will
not care for him to attempt to govern
the House, and perhaps imperil the en-
tire party now battling so nobly for ta-
riff reform aud victory in 1S99.-N. 0.
States.
