SUPREME COURT JuDGEsHIr.'

Under the above caption, the Web
ster Signal of March 25th, has this to
say in par. relative to the advisability
of retaining on the Supreme Bench,
Judge Watkins, whose term expires
this month
He began the practice of law at THIS
place when quite a young man, sscadi'y
forging to the front. he was soon rec
oenjzed as one OF the leading lawyers
at this bar, and that at time. too:
when the Minden bar NUMBERED
among it's members some OF the
brightest legal luminarics IN the State.
A. iudpe of the district of which this
parish was then part from 1877 10
1877 he made an able, upright aud 'n-
corruptible officer, discharging every
duty incumbent upon him 10 the per.
| feet satisfaction of the bar and he peo-
pie, and disposed of the business be-
fore the court with the greatest expen-
di,ion aud dispatch.
| Since he has been on The supreme
court bench he has made splendid
record as an incessant and untiring
worker aud a learned impartial, and
able judge.
Taking into consideration his
twelve years. experience as Associated
Justice, as well as his earlier training
and other eminent qualifications, we
see no reason why Judge Watkins
should not be his own successor. a
lawyer ofthe highest legal attachments
an indefaligable worker, ripe and
experienced judge, and an honest
honorable and genial gentleman
learned in the law, retiring rather
than seeking honors, he at once strikes
al who know him as the ideal maj
for the place
| We have had occasion heretofore tt
express our earnest hope that the Gov
ernor would find it to the best interes
Iof the State TO re-appoint Judge Wat
Ikins as his own successor, aud w
heartily join in tho above commenda
ton of the Signal.
i Judge Watkins has been unanimous
lily endorsed by the members Of thu
bar of this parish, and BY the bar gen
orally throughout the State; aud tn
man who has given such general salts
, faction to the lawyers who practice be
/. fore him. and who stands so hig'
with the people of tho State general,
! must be as tie Signal says, the "ldes
man for the place"

The Vicksburg Herald OF Sunday
last gives the following description OF
the belle of the Bends,' upon her ar
rival at her home port on Saturday:
The Belle of the Bends, the new boat
recently built at Jeffersonville. Ind,
for the Vicksburg and GreenvillePacket
Company, steamed into port on yester-
day. She was received with magnifi-
cent greeting and welcome, and was
extended popular ovation, which at
tested the appreciation by the people OF
vicksburg of the pluck, energy, enter
prise and public spirit, which has
marked the management OF that COM
pany.
The reception was SO hearty. sincere
and spontaneous, that it WAS plain il
was not Il mere "commercial' affair
but tribute, due to the high qualities
which have disting uished the manage
ment of the company, and its officers
in liberal endeavor to subsere Vicks
burg's river interests and in the con
slant effort to please, to accommodate
and to help. 1t was reward. which
the officers aud employees have won BY
their unfailing courtesy, their obligins
disposition, their fidelity to duty ane
their readiness and alertness in bust
ness. So that all the people of Vicks
burg felt that they were dong them
selves proud, in the demonstration
yesterday, and which went to the heart
of the genial officers and attaches o
the beautiful Belle of her company.
| A delightful programme was arrang
ed for the occasion. The two ben,
steamers, Annie Laurie and Ruth. wer
announced 10 leave at9 a, m. and t

THE RIVER.

=. After reaching a 44.35 stage on
Saturday last and remaining station
airy only twelve hours, the river COM
menced falling, and since then it has
gone down at least three feet, which
will now increase from day to day
until it will be far within its banks.
To think that for once the entire
country protected by levees on both
sides of the Mississippi river has
escaped and that the levees have
held in the face of next to the highest
stage ever known, should cause those
who do not believe in the System OF
protection by levees to almost say
now that they can be made to hold
the immense body of water.
Within few more years, when the
levees are strengthened by the
banquettes being raised to the crown
of the present levee and another foot
or two of dirt placed on top, we be-
lieve that they can be made to hold
any stage of water that nay come
There is no doubt that it is the inten.
ton OF the u. S. authorities and the
different Levee Boards to do this as
soon as possible; and when it is done
overfows should be thing Of tht
past.
