District Attorney Phanor Breazeale
says of the new jury law: "The term

bly, the most remarkably court record
IN the history of this State. Judge
Overton and other gentlemen we'll quail

by any record in this State. We tried
fifty cases, and made thirty.nine con-
victions. Eleven were sent to the Pen
itentiary, OF which five we're white men.
Three were given the extreme penalty
OF the law, and D of these was u white
man. We sent five white men to the
Penitentiary, and two to the parish
prison for larceny. Of the eleven &C.
quittals the State abandoned nine be-
fore the evidence was taken, hence
there were only two acquitrais where
tue State made an attempt to prosecute.
/ feel thoroughly satisfied now that
the new jury system will prove salts

As will be seen by the proceedings of
the Parish School Board which we pub
lish IN another column, steps are being
taken to dispose of the High School
question in a manner satisfactory to the
almost unanimous public sentiment OF
this community. 1t was virtually de-
cided to employ two trained teachers as
principal and assistant Of the High
School, though there ia a possibility
that for the coming term one trained
teacher IS principal may be deemed
sufficient. We congratulate the Board
upon the broad and enlightened view it
has taken of this matter and upon the
consideration it has shown for tile wish
es of the people most directly Interested
In our High School. The other pro-
ceedings Of the Board will be found
full of interest.

jayhawkers that Cleveland put in the
Federal offices IN this State in 1885, in
preference to men who had borne the
bIunt of the battle, and against the pro-
test of Senator Eustis, has joined the
sugar-teat Republicans and had himself
nominated for Congress. He held a
