A CURIOUS fact in relation to Spanish
titles is of interest to unmarried
American men. When a man weds a
Spanish woman of title, he takes that
title. Titles descend through the
female line also. Upon marrying n
Spanish duchess an untitled hus band
would be created duke and grandee,
and by purchasing property with an
annual rental of $40, 900 would have a
seat in the senate for life.

joint session. Each of these methods
of selection has it's adherents !; and it
must be conceded that som sthing can
be said in favor of each. For our own
part, we prefer the elective; but we
recognize the fact that it is not abso-
lutely faultless. Indeed, it has al
ready been tried with regard to the
Judges Of the supreme court in the
art, and there are many among those
who recollect its manner Of working
then who freely admit that it presen
ted some objections which may he
avoided under the appointive system.
At bottom, the trouble with any sys-
TEN which may be adopted is, that it
Is human, and therefore subject to
imperfrctions and liable to abuse. III
times of great political corruption, the
appointive system in liable to abuse (:
while in tine of great political excite
ment. the elective may work great
injury !: Int tins furnishes no reason
why either ,ystem should be CON
denued IN tote.
The other limitation concerns the
terms of Office ut the Justices and the
same reason exists for it as for the
limitation in favor of the other Off
cials.
But outside of these two restrictions,
the convention will be free Ia orgau-
ize The Judiciary SYSTEM as it deems
proper. 1t may provide at will con
celning the district aud other inferior
courts. Itmay abolish tie courts Ut
appeals Or re-oiganize them on a
diff: ert basis; it may establish par
ish coarts; increase III diminish the
jurisdiction of justices of tue peace or
do away with them altogether ill.,
crease the number of the Judges
of the supreme court and di-
vide The court into Il court of civil
appellate and IA court OF criminal
appellate jurisdiction. In fact it may
DO anything il ~pleases outside of the
restrictions noted.
lit will thus be seen that tie r~estric-
tinns 10 the powers Of tho contempla-
ted constitutional convention are not
so mnltifarious or rs far reaching as il
first flush appears. Ii a constitution
i'll convention be otherwise necessary,
thtre is 20 reason why these r%estric-
lions should stand in the way of call
ing nue. Tie matter therefore re
solves itself into the question, is a

eessury at this time7 That is what
the people who will soon be called to

Chief Engineer Of the Lafonrche SUI

to Lafourche Crossing.
The map is intended to show the

therefore. whatever Inaccuracies in

detract not from its usefulness for the
purpose intended.
The proposed route Of the contem-

run down the bayou, on the lett bank
thereof, to Lafourehe Crossing.
This route is certainly laid through
the sugar belt Of the Latourehe valley
from Donaldsunville to Lafourche
