served in Abbeviile. Of course the old
FOUNDERS could generally find a side
door open and a chance to wet their
parched Threats, but that was all.
Then sone saloon man kept the side
door open all the time, and inside the
card tables were in full blast. No one
said anything and the grand Jury pass
ed the occurrence as though it was the
proper caper. Emboldened and en-
couraged by this local approval a
couple of saloons threw open the front
doors and kept open house. Last Sun
day Judge Debaillon who had been
spending the day in the country, came
in town about shutdown and noticing
the saloons open sent for Sheriff He
bert and ordered him TO close up all
the saloons and instruct the proprietors
to appear in court at 10 O'CLOCK next

Once the moonbeam's silvery light,

Were They a Little Too PreviousP

Mr.. EDITOR: Would it not be well
for the police jury Of our parish to read
and well consider the official commits
sion of justices of the peace and con-
stables electei at our last general cleo
tion9 If they will take this trouble
they will find that these officers have
been commissioned by the Governor
authorizing and empowering them to
execute and fulfill the duties Of their
said offices according to law and to
hold the said offices with all the power
privileges and emolnmenrs to the same
for the term of four years for which
they were elected. Besides Article LA
Of the Constitution Of 1879 declares
that no law shall be enacted that
would in any way effect the period of
time for which officers were elected or
their pay, and Article same number
Of the new Constitution is word for
word the same as the old. Now Mr..
| Editor, can the ordinance of the police
jury relative to salaries of justices of
the peace and c~onstables become Eff
| feetive against these officers in the
middle Of their terms Of office in direct
opposition to all laws heretofore ex-
listing in this Statee In other words
was it the intention of the able body
of men who composed. the State Con-
stitutional Convention to enact aud
embody in the organic law of the State
a law that would take away the pay of
officers who were elected for four years
and this in the middle Of their tenn.
If 30, and the court sustains them, then
they will have destroyed one of the
grandest rights of a republican form of
government, the right of the ballot box
[vox populil the right to bold Office for
the term for which one was elected
without molestation therein. Now
Article 1T Of the new Constitution de-
clares at the end of the present term of
the district courts that there be a con-
tinuouS term Of the district court for
ten months in districts composed Of on8
parish and this parish is a district
within itself and these officers have nd
change In their Office until the expira-
ton of their terms. Hence, the consul
sion IL, that our police jury have been
a little too previous in passing tlheir
ordinance effecting the emolunlents of
office under which these officers We're
elected and commissioned. For it is
clear that after the district courts sits
70: fen months that there viii be very
little or no work fof justices of the
peace and constabtes to perform for
them, the work can be carried direct
to the courts having final jurisdiction.
over it Then will be time to cut off
the pay Of justices Of the peace ard
constable when their work shall have
been reduced. Correspondingly 'Let
justice be done, though the Heavens
fall. SExTUS.
