The movement of Texas cattle into
Louisiana will not be halted on account
OF the Act of 1856, which placed wall
around the state at that time, and
which has never been repealed. Mr..
Parker went all the way TO the Presi-
dent of the United States to get rid of
the obsolete and obstructive law, but
it was finally decided that the matter
need not be dignifed to that extent.

announced that tie retrogressive relic
was so clearly unconstitutional that II
will be useless and jroftless for any
body to invoke it. DR.. Geo. NJ. Rum

animal industry, was in eTxas when
this conclusion was reached, and is
aiding in directing thousands of heads
of cattle towards this State. Gov.
