Our Judicial Officers.

Vermilion parish has reason to be
proud of it's judge and district attor
ney. They have the courage and
the ability to execute the Law fear
lessly and impartially, and as a
e>ult crime, once rampant in this
parish is at a minimum and punish
ment is always sure to follow. This
is not the way justice is administered
in some other parts of the State.
Last week we mentioned the kick OF
the Lake Providence people about
crime and a weak kneed judge.
To-day we note that the Union
parish Gazette is complimenting its
able district attorney and complains
ing of it's limp backed judge. Il
mournfnlly says:-"and it is a sad
pity that we can not get juries who
will do their full duty, regardless OF
fear OR favor, and then when a con.
viction is returned we need a Judge
on the bench who will give the full
penalty of the law. $40 and SIS
fnes will never break up carrying
concealed weapons, neither will a
few months in the penitentiary put a
stop to the higher crimes which have
become 90 common In our parish and
have practically gone %unpunished
It is now high time for a change and
In behalf of peace, order and the
safety of our people, we call upon

Allen and District Attorney M. 7

The English press has certainly
taken a very comprehensive view oil
the recent prize fight between Cor
bett and Mitchell. We produce the
following extracts from leading
London papers and heartily approve
the sentiments expressed:
1.-The only satisfactory feature Of
yesterdays degrading exhibition is
that one BLACKBOARD was well
whipped. The turn of the other
will certainly come, and then he
will be dropped like a hot cinder
by the crowd of rogues who form
the body guard of the prize ring
here and in America. The 30.
called fight appears TO have been q
failure. Every reasonable person
sympathIzed with the Governor o,
Florida, who was thwarted by the
Jacksonville municipal authorities
who knew that the riotous, drunken
profane gang of scouudrels were
spending money 10 their city. Yes.
terday's show ought to condemn thu
so-called noble art forever....I
was a most degrading, disgusting
business without the brutal man.

. Sensible Proposition.

That this country is Suffering from
q contraction Of the currency every
we'll posted man will readily admit,
and we think this plan proposed to
increase the volume of the currency
will meet the approval of the people;
Representative sibley Dem. Of
Pennsylvania, has prepared a bill to
pay pensions in a new issue off per
ceat bonds. He proposes TO offer
it to the House in case a bill is pre-
sented for a general issue of bonds.
Mr.. sibley's bill is designed to give
pensioners the benefits usually ac-
cruing from bonds, and also to give
the government a ready means of
meeting pension obligations.
His plan is to make the bonds in
denominations of $40 up to $500,
and to make them legal tender, exr
cept for customs dues. This would
allow them to circulate as paper
currency. His plan contemplates
the issue of such bonds until the
amount reaches $50 per capital for
the population OF the country. Mr..
Sibley intends to suggest his plan TO
Secretary Carlisle, and 10 any event
to offer it as an amendment to the
general bond proposition il one
comes before the House.

Novelties fer Ladies'

With the beginning of the year ap-
pear novelties of Russian effects and
modem adoptions of the first empire.
The draperies already announced are
being developed into many original
effects, indoor gowns being influenced
by those of the peplum description.
The dress skirt is becoming wider at
the bottom, and the sleeve also moro
Eoluminous. There has never, also,
existed such a rage as the present n
for fur and ermine above all. Some
original designs Of collarettes in real
Louis XIII style-drooping at the
shoulders and very hat-are becoming
popular among the new modes. In
extracting these instructive items from
the latest Mcdowell Fashion journals
we notice that the handsome publ
cations still maintain the high standard
of their former excellence and contain
besides new features Of special interest.
They are invaluable for their practical
advice to dressmakers and amateurs.

The Tribulaafozs of Mrs. lease

mighty row in the party 10 that

In the letter she says she spoke to
Mr.. Peck in St. Louis only as she

that he held a midnight conference
with Peck and surrenderedt to Santa
Fe that Dunsmore house which he
had called out the militia to sustain,

SOUTHERN MILITIA.

The South has ever felt proud Of
the martial spirit of her sons. The
glorious record of heroic valor
shown by the men who followed
the fortunes Of the stars and bars on
many o hotly contested battle field
from Bull Run to Appomatox is our
sole legacy of that terrible, bat
thrilling era of fire and blood. To
these degenerate later days we may
we'll own the throb of pride we feel
in reading the account of the manly
bearing of our militia boys. Gov.
Mitchell of Florida, with the view
of preventing the recent prize fight
between Mitchell and Corbett at
Jacksonville, had ordered several
companies of the state militia to re.
port at that city. They were all
young men, country boys at that,
and many of them nc doubt would
have gladly witnessed the pugilistic
encounter of these two noted brutes,
but they were acting in obedience
to the majestic summons of the law.
The dirty rats and hoodlums of
Jacksonville, and the tough buns
and plug ugIies gathered there from
all the cesspools of the Union wanted
the fight pulled off and they bore
the soldier boys no good will. OF
their reception the dispatches say:
Kisses, cat calls, imprecations
and ironical cheers intermingled
with the martial strains Of the mill.
tary music. Rats" "Cracker!"
Go home!" "Bah!" SAINT you
ashamed Of yourselves?' and other
such cries were heard as the men
approached Hogan street, the prin-
ciple thoroughfare that leads to Bay
street. why, arc those the SOL
diers?' shouted one fellow. Il
could lick the whole crowd in one
punch" Men stood out on the edge
of the curb and shook their fists at
the militia and called the men foul
names, but the citizen soldiery were
deaf to all snch insults.
These militia were men of whom
the State of Florida aud the South
may we'll be proud. Had the Cow
ernor persisted in his determination
TO stop the fight, and it goes without
suying that such men az these SOL
diers were would have routed the
lousy rabble who Knocked them and
disgraced humanity as q mountain
lion would a flock of goats.

The form Of proceeding is shorter
