The New York Herald has inter-
viewed most Of the governors Of
the States relative to the current
strike, and the action Of president
Cleveland in sending detachments
Of federal troops to Chicago to aid
in the maintauece Of peace. The
response Of Governor Stone, Of Miss
ssippi. was as follows;
This is . species Of lawlessness
that should and must be suppress
ed. I heartily approve the presi-
dents proclamation, and believe
federal troops should be used to
protect the lives and property Of
citizens of the United States in cv-
erv instance where i. is necessary. !"

Editor st. Tammany FARMKR:
The past month here has been ex-
ceedlngiy gay, there being something
attractive each week. Mn. Roome's
pubic school conmeacement took the
lead, and the children reflected great
credit spoa their teacher. Their reci-
tations were exceedingly well rendered.
After the exercises the children played
games and were served with refresh
ments.
The following week, on Saturday and
Sunday, . Fair Was given for the bene.
at of the Church Of Our Lady Of The
Lake, at Manaud's Park, and It GER
tainly was . success. Misses A. Ri
bava, NJ. Boyer, Estella Levy, Freda
Kelly and Walter Bonnet were the sue
cessful contestants for prizes. The
Nsdisonville Band furnished the music
the first night, and Mr.. Marcelln Hes
trest the second night. The total sum
made 1t the Fair was $SsS 90.
No event has ever created SO much
excitement here as the Regatta which
took place last Saturday. For weeks
past preparations had been made, and
Friday everybody was looking anxious
" for the visitors and their boats. On
Saturday morning dark clouds hung
heavily, and . severe storm occurred,
which for long time put damper on
al hopes for boat racing. The Lake
was exceedingly rough, and for while
1t was deemed wise to postpone the
race. The Beulah was wrecked at Big
Branch. The program included ter
classes. y
The schooner yacht race, between the
Adrienne and Meteor, the former won.
Time. II minutes and - seconds.
The cabin sloop Montauk made q
good record, and was opposed by Jos
Sharp's working sloop Mischief. Mr.
sharp entered his sloop merely to show
her speed, and mot with view Of win.
ming the prize. The Montauk's time
2:O4:4O; Mischief, 2:e6; time allow
ance, 90:5S.
In open sloops the veruna had nc
competitor, but made good showing
Time, 2:50:O5.
In open sloops under 20 feet, thu
Nymphla won In 2:l5:O6, beating thu
Lady Luckett and Alice.
In round bottom catb0ats the st
John won In 2:lS:lS.
The race which caused the most In
terest was catboats, square knuckle
over 20 feet. Ellen ID, 2:el: 80; Hon
orine, 2:9S:Ol; Louise W, 2:96:7S
Rosa G, 2:33:s6; Minnie b. disabled.
Catboat, square knuckle, the Lad!
Sarah had no competitors, time 3:44:l 10
During the races the sun shone on
brightly, and everybody enjoyed
pleasant evening.
The ball which followed the regatt'
was . grand success, and was well II
vored by Covington people, lead b.

Under the new law adopted at
the session Of the legislature just

hounds and have none Of their

Gently been used successfully In

THE NEW JURY LAW.

The Legislature 1t its recent ses-
sion enacted . jury Law which, while
It is an improvement on the late
law, b eth open to some very seEh
Gus objections.
This Law provides that the Dis
trict Judges shall select and APP
point from among the qualified
electors four discreet citizens, who
with the clerk of court. who shall
be an ex-officio member thereof,
shall constitute q jury commission.
That this jury .mmission shall
assemble about thirty days before
the jury term OF the District court,
and the juries darwin about in the
manner that they are now drawn,
save and except, that the names Of
jurors are rot published in the on
cial journal Of the Parish, and the
names OF the jurors selected kept
secret, and no member Ut the jury
commission, clerk. sheriff or their
deputies allowed to disclose to any
one the names Of the jurors select
ed, except to the juror himself,
when summoned, and the juror
himself is not permitted to disclose
the fact that he has been selected
and summonded as . juror. Any
one violating this provision is deem
ed in contempt Of court and .un'sl'-
ed by fine or imprisonment or both
ut :he discretion Of the Court.
We take it that the object Of
this law is to prevent the bribery
Of jurors, aud while in some few
instances the ends Of Justice may
be defeated by bribery, We are YET
Of the opinion, that the law will work
great injury to the accused.
When the names Of the jurers are
published for twenty days previous
to the session of court, the sccused
and his attorney are enabled 70
inspect the list and BY inquiry as
certain whether or not any one Of
more Jurors whose names sppea'
on the list are competent to try
the particular case at bar, and
whether or not he or they have any
predjudices against the accused
Under the new law these facts are
expected to he brought to light
when the juror is examined on bis
voir dire, but in many instances THU
cannot be done and An injustice ].
thereby done the accused. We
have said thxt in some instances
the ends Of justice are probably de-
feated by bribery, but We believe
that it is better that twenty guilty
men should escape, than one lnno
cent man punished for . crime o.
which he is not guilty. Again il
is = noted fact that the bribery Of
juries almost always takes place in
the city Of New Orleans, and ye'
this law does not apply to tina
city. We hope will the law accom-
plishes the ends for which It VA
enacted, but fear its consequences
