AS result of the recent unpleasantness
between Supervising Architect Aiken of
the Treasury Department and Collector of
the Port Wise the former has been re-
called to Washington, where it is expected
he will be disciplined for discourtesy to
the Collector and neglect to obey the or
ders of the Secretary. The telegram re-
calling him came several days ago, but he
was then in the Yosemite Valley and did
not know of the matter until the message
was handed him at Sacramento by Mr..
Wise, when he at once boarded ali east
bound train.
No charges have been filed against him,
but it is said that his conduct has been
generally unsatisfactory TO the department.

The Great Exposition.

The writer accompanied tho party of
Louisiana newspaper folks who left
New Orleans two weeks ago to visit the
Atlanta Exposition, and was delighted
with the beauty of the buildings and
grounds, the extent and variety OF the
exhibits, and the magniiicence of the
slupendous affair in its grand entirety.
While not SO extensive as the great
Chicago fair, it probably excels it in the
excellence and variety of its exhibits,
and in its tout ensemble is marvellous
aggregation of the best products, in
every line, of our great country, and es-
peciaily of our beloved section, and
arouses a jnstitiable feeling of pride in
every Southern breast.
The Louisiana exhibit, while not 80
extensive as those of other States, a
number of which have fine buildings of
their own, is nevertheless very credi-
table, and will doubtless prove Of great
advantage to the State in many ways.
November 20 has been designated as
Louisiana day at the Exposition, and
as the railroads have made a special
rate of one cent per mile for the occa
sion, large numbers of our people
should embrace the opportunity to
see one of the grandest shows of the
age-a scene of beauty and magnifi-
cence that will forever linger in their
memory. Several of the military COM
panies from New Orleans will be- in at
tendance, and the grand old Pelican
State will be the cynosure of all eyes
and the theme of every tongue. Let
her sons and daughters rendezvous
there i'll imposing numbers Oh that day.
The cost for the round trip from Ope
lOusas will be only S13 25.

In the case of VIM. Oakley ct ais. vs..
NJ. l.. Swords, Judge Pcrrault last week
rendered the following judgment:
That the ordinance of the Police Jury
of date February 90, 1895, whereby the
3rd Cor Bellevue) justice of the peace
ward was created, is unconstitutional
and void, the right to create new wards
being vested solely in the Legislature of
the State. The annulment Of the ordi
nance referred to leaves matters in the
same condition existing prior thereto !;
that is, the right of the voters to par
ticipate in the election of two magis
trates and constables for this ward,
whether registered at the Opelousas or
Bellevue preciucts, and this regardless
of the constitutionality or legality of
the ordinance establishing new pre-
cincts under the provisions of the Act
of 1894, the Court being of the opinion
that the election law Of 1894 is not alb
solutely violated by the failure of the
Police Juries of the State to subdivide
the Police Jury wards into election pre-
cincts in the exact time set forth in the
statute. y The plaintiffs
were, therefore, given judgment as
above set forth, but their suit was dis
missed in so far as their right to vote
at either Bellevue or OpeIousas, the law
requiring that they shall vote only at
the precinct Of their residence.
The case will be taken to the Su-
