A convention of lawyers has

Blanchard's suggestion and recon-
mendation to frame satisfactory
bill remOdeling the State judicial
system. 1t will be held ia June.
A tentative bill prepared by Judge
E. I. Lewis Of st. Landry, abolish
ing the circuit courts as constituted
of two district judges, and creating
two intermediate courts of appeals,
two circuits with three Judges
each, seems to meet with favor.
There are some however, who
think the membership Of the su-
preme court should be increased.
is satisfied with the present
circuit court system, and it should
be remodeled, no matter what else
is done. 1t is generally conceded,
though, that our courts are too ex-
pensive aud care should be taken
to reduce rather than increase the
cost. If this is done the laymen
will be satisfied with what the law
yers do so long as their rights are

A jeweler of long experience, in
discussing the usage of a watch,
says it should never be laid on its
side to run, as in cases where it is
laid off at night or placed under
the pillow for safe keeping The
journals and bearings in the works
are intended to run vertically, as
when worn in the vest pocket, and
when laid on the side for any
length of time, say over night, the
action deranges the works and in.
jures it as time piece. He sug-
gests that when laid off for any
length Of time, while running, it
should be hung up or placed up
right until it runs down, and at
night it should be left in the pock-
ct and vest hung on a chair or
other upright position.

and causing its numerous outlets
In It's basin to flood that. also
Without break in the levees tht
floods from the Mississippi caused
this whole valley and basin to bt
rrerfowed with the exception OF
its upper part, where they have
high leveeS.
There can be no donbt that the
volume of water coming down the
Atchafalaya, from the Mississippi,
is constantly increasing; and there
is danger of the Mississippi taking
that route to the Gulf, for the dis
tance is one-third of what it is by
the present channel, endangering
ten of the most productive parishes
in the State and leaving the city of
New Orleans without a river. The
remedy is to entirely divorce the
Mississippi from the Red and
Atchafalaya rivers, and let the At
chafalaya drain that section of the
country.
The completion Of the Locks at
Plaquemine will give the Red river
boats and the whole of western
Louisiana certain and reliable
communication with the Mississippi
at all seasons Of the year, and one
that is twenty three miles shorter
then the present one. When this
is done you will reclaim at least
5, 900, 900, acres Of the richest land
in the world from overflow Its
settlement and cultivation will
speedily follow. 1t is the only !
way it can be done, for. which the |
upper Atchafalaya, there is no
stream through this
section, the whole country being
cut up with rivers, bayons, and
lakes; and no levee system is
possible. | am confident that the
Red can never food the basin Of
the Atchafalaya, for the outlets
are too numerous and large to per-
NIT it.
The Mississippi River Commits
sion forseen this danger and has
tried to prevent it by sinking mats
in the Atchafalaya near its head,
where, | am informed, it is 100
feet deep and 500 or 600 yards
vide. They may possibly stop its
deepening, bnt that does not lessen
he volume of water coming down
It's channel
In the month of April a large
aft of mats came down the Atch-
,falala, went into the Grand river
md lodged at the Travers flats,
completely blocking the channel
% navigation. The citizens of
olaquemine were put to much labor
md expense in opening a passage
or boats through it.
In view of the immense advant-
Iges, as ! have shown, it does seem
o me that all parties should join
u an effort to secure Immediate
of the Plaqneinne
locks, the Improvement of the
lavigaiion of thecontiguons waters,
nd the ultimate divorcing of the
iississippi from the Atchafalaya
/ further seems to me that our
Governor and Legislature, our
enators aud congressman, and the
progressive Leagues and Unions
onld npt do more TO develop the
reat resorces of our State than in

lishment of these measures, aud
