The Buckeye Landing Suit.

In the Supreme court on last Monday,
the decision Of Judge Wear Of our dis
trlct court was sustained, relative to the
Buckeye landing controversy. Attorney
W. G. Roberts represented the defendent,
and has scored considerable notoriety by
his able management of the case. The
opinion of the court was rendered by AS
sociate Justice J. A. Breaux, OF which we
give below the syllabus:
No. 11,46O. James A. Hydes vs.. Chas.
81. Teal.--Appeal from the Fourth Judi
District Court, parish OF Grant. On the
motion to dismiss: The affidavit of plain
tiff in support of his petition for an in
junction places the damages at issue In
the suit at over $1,000. The charge that
they are fictitious and inflated to give
this court jurisdiction IL not sustained
by the facts. Motion TO dismiss fails.
On the merits: The police jury passed
an ordinance changing the direction OF
q public road. To annul this ordinance
at the instance of an individual, an inter-
est must be established. A strip of land
between the public road and the landing
to which plaintiff hauled his freight for
shipment is the private property Of the
defendant. Before obtaining the right of
passing over this strip of land, plaintiff

remove an obstruction placed on the road,
which prevents plaintiff from hauling his
freight over defendants land to the land

did not restrain; it was suspended pen

are, therefore, not allowed. judgement

Election for Congressman.


The election for a Congressman
from the 4th district has been fixed
by the governor for April Oath. BY
reference to our advertising col
umns the proclamation for the
election in this parish will be found.
The candidates in the field, while
more numerous than usual, repre-
sent good material to select from,
viz: Judge Jas. Andrews, G. w.
Bolton, Judge w. F. Blackman.
Jas. Jeffries, r. P. Hunter, E. G..
Hunter, Judge Pierson, Judge Hall,
Pugh, Bell, and possibly two or
three more, whose names we cannot
call to mind just now. The time
is short, and a lively campaign can
be looked for.
In the primary Oct. l, 1892, Mr..
j. M. Anthony was elected as the
member from Grant of the Con-
gressional executive committee of
this district The committee has
been called to meet on next Mon
day, 10Th, and he should try to be
present or represented by duly au-
thorized proxy. We think the Sc
lection of a Congressman should
be by primary election, instead of
by convention, and hope our COM
mitteeman will SO contend.

Without noticing the i'll nature and
Islander expressed above. we are sorry to
have been mistaken in supposing that
Bro. Machen was honest enough to ad-
NIT an error when it was pointed out to
him. He certainly knows, or ought to
know, that before the banks can issue
$45,OOO,000 in bank notes they have first
to deposit $5O,O00OOO in bonds with the
q. s. government Therefore it is either
q ridiculous mistake or dishonest trick
for him to count both of these items as
he does above. His table Of figures was
30 silly, we did not think it worth while
to publish them, but as he insists on it,
they are reproduced. We tried to follow
the Wise Mans injunction. ''answer a
fool according to his folly, lest he be wise
in his own conceit." We thought mere
reference to Bro. Machen's blunder was
sufficient to set him right, but it seems
Solomon's wisdom is put to the full test
in this instance 1. e.: "Bray fool, yet his
folly will not depart" N:22.
The last circular on the National Bank
ing System shows $50, O4S, 210 in Nation
al and State Bank notes now outstand-
ing. and that 500, 800 $50 in U. 8. bonds
have been deposited with the government
to secure this circulation. According to
Bro. Machen the bankers control botL
anonnks and the circ,,lation of the Ma.
tional Banks is 1884, 859, $50!
