The si,eriff7s Office is invaded by per
sons owing taxes and licenses who ask
for ffvors. The habit of granting them
has been practised to q raiaons extent
by former administrations, and the re-
suits have been disastrous tn the
sheriffs. Sheriff Deshotels las been le-
gally advised to obey the law. regard
less of friends or foes. Some have de-
manded license to transact business for
half the year, and seem offended be-
cause the sheriff declines to issue them.
They should know that there is no law
authorizing him to issue any such
license for tho first half Of the year.
Our sheriff, so far, has acted under the
law and we take pleasure in saying we
believe he will continue to do so, re-
gardiess of friends or foes politically 'or
personally. All men are presumed to
live under the law, and no one has a
reasonable right to require that the
sheriff shall depart from its rean;re-
ments, to oblige any one. He has 10 ac-
count to the state authorities periodic
ally, and his b0ndsnen, as well as him
self, are responsible for the fidelity of
his official acts as sheriff. We say to
him "oaey the law whoever may he con-
eerDa0"

Whenever Senators Caffery and
Bianchasd--particula the former-get
an opportunity to make "a bad break"
they never fail to take advantage of it.
For years the American people have
protested bitterly against the stream OF
criminal pauper immigration that has
been allowed to flow unchecked into
this country. OF late years this form Of
immigration has become not only il
scandal and disgrace, but an actual
menace to the perpetuty Of our ,epub-
lican institutions. Last Wednesday,
when the bill restricting immigration
and imposing CERTAIN qualifications upon
foreigners who desire to reside in this
country, came up in the senate, both Of
our senators opposed and voted against
it. Indeed, Mr.. Catfery, in his oppo-
sition to this most meritorious measure.
went so far as to read alond in the SEN
ate extracts from u letter written to him
by "Ouida," in whicl, the French novel
ist highly commends Dago immigra-
tion-for America! Folly, thy name is
Caffery.-W. B. II. Sugar Planter.

To Navigate Bayou Teche.
NEW IBERIA, March 5, 81.

NEW IBERIA, March 5, 81.
EDITOR COURIER:-At the solicitation
OF the Hon. r. II. Broussard, Major j. B.
Quinn has recently made an inspection
OF the upper Bayou TecIle to see if it is
worthy of improvement. The Hon. K.
H. Broussard, myself and number of
our enterprisng citizens accompanied
him and took him up the bayou until he
expressed himself as perfectly satisfied,
not only as to the practicablity of its
improvement but of the urgent neces
sity of it in order to give the people of
the upper Teche and also those OF the
city of Washington IA certain and relia-
bic navigation through the Teche and
the lock at PlaGuemine with the city of
New Orleans.
His scheme of Improvement is to dam
or lock the Courtableau so as to turn its
waters down the Teche and then, by
dredging and locking if necessary to
make it navigable all the year round.
This scheme, If it can be carried out,
will be of immense advantage not only
to the people on its upper banks but to
the whole Bayou Teche, by throwing
more water into it, increasing it's cur
rent and keeping it washed out.
TO enable him to make his report to
congress he says it is absolutely neces
sary for him to have the statistics of the
present commerce i,s we'll as the pr0ba-
BILE increase that will result from the
proposed improvement.
The parish OF st. Martin has appro-
priated $3.50 and Iberia $3.50. st. Mary's
has not us yet acted, bnt l am sure she
will do as well as the Others, and have
been selected to do the work. TO make
the work complete we should have those
of that portion Of the bayou embraced
in St. Landry. have made application
to yonr police jury for an appropriation
for that purpose.
AS an old soldier OF mine, and one of
the enterprising editors OF your parish,
| request yon to go betore-the police
jury of your parish and use yonr infiu-
ence to get them to make the necessary
appropriation for me to do the work. |
shall be at Arnaudyiile the latter part of
next week to commence work in st.
Martins parisl, and would be glad to
know if your parish will need me or
not, so that | can complete the work
while up there.
By giving this your attention you will
greatly oblige your old comrade aud
friend. E. It. KING.

The civil term Of our District Court
will begin here on Monday, April 5th.
There is great raft of old business on
the docket, and we hope We are not in
fringing on the characteristic Dferosa-
tive of the attorneys when We suggest
that they should endeavor to under
stand their eases better, and thus make
their examinations OF witnesses shorter
and their law clearer. Fully one half
of the time of the courts has, heretofore,
been taken up i'm useless wrangling, silly
questions and windy sn-called speeches.
The lawyers have ample time to study
and make their efforts shorter. The FREE
quent recesses of the eonrt may allow
time for making and smoking cigarettes,
but they tax and ex@tiie patience of lit
igants and witnesses and give rise to
constant complaints.

Those jingo newspapers which have
been criticising Gen. Fitzhugh Lee for
what they were pleased to term his
"poliey of inaction" in dealing with the
cases of American citizens arrested and
imprisoned in Cuba, will now have to
take back all they said and do some tall
apologizing. His vigorous action in the
case of Chas. Scott shows that he is
made of the right stuff. and worthy of
bis great name. Gen. Lee is not jingo,
but he is an American to the backbone
and can be relied upon to discharge his
duty fearlessly and promptly.-States.
