The Governor has appointed Abner N. digi
Ogden, Jr., Esq., Commissioner to restore spec
the records of the parish destroyed by the con
Sa4ondagratiOU of the Court House In ~tay, as,"
1864. The Commissioner has full power to 1y,"
hear tehmonly, determine its dompetency, tior
Land decide on the recoraation of.instruments
whbich shall be proved to have been des- inti
Stroyed. He. will open his office in a few
day, and aunounce.his readiness to proceed to
-to business
We think this an exoellent move on the Ens
part of the Governor. There Is n6t B, vol
scratch of a pen to show who owns a Toot of fioi
land in the parish. There must be a great an(
confusion of titles, and endless litigation in we
fature, unless something is done while men's
inemoriesare freab, to .prove ip titles and
S-record thempor evidence in future legal dis.
utefa: The Governor, too, has made a good of
edlfctidea the officer:to whom this impor- tio
tunt matter is to beentrusted. Mr. Ogden p1e
- "'I a -gentleman of intelligence, and legal si
learning, and will bring to bear upon 'ht Hi

authorities. "Chaplain" Thomas and wl
Callahan, assistant superintendent of Tht
Freedmen, for an alleged infraction pose
of his own authority, arredted Judge' lain"
Weems, of the District Court, the Sher- the .
iff of Bossier, and said he would have If
arrested the District Attorney, who atali
made a spread eagle speee'h in the.ity
prosecution of the negro in question, has n
if he had known that the young man Ie tt
was making a speech agaiitst the ne- catn
gro. After the " Chaplain"',had de- seek
parted with his prize, the lawyers, as that
a matter of course, held a grand in high
.dignation meeting, made Sophomoric gal a
,e speeches, and got off a set of Bun- ulnc
e combe resolutions, in which " where- 'ernn
P, as," "notwithstanding," "according- (whi
o ly," and all the other approved Dic- f u
r tionary words, figured very extensive- acy)
Sly, without, as usual, giving us any He
intimation what' legal remedy the with
aforesaid legal gentlemen proposed` he t
to offer, or how they proposed to men
e snatch the prey from the hands of the t
. voracious "Chaplain." The resolu- beei
of tions smack of blood and thunder, t lil
at and they read as if. their supporters beel
n would have devoured the "'Chapiaiu" .men
b on sight. The "Chaplain," howe'ver,v hav
seems to be the most imperturbable lya'
al. of individuals; he leaves his resole- 1hv
. 'tion writers to amuse themnelves, and. arc
en proceeds, in the quietest manner pos
al siblW, :to bring his prisoher to trial! suss
1 His decision will be found on our is
r first page. Ju"
e We have perused tht 'docun cnt be
ld carefully, and have risen from the 'is
g erusal With a very high `pinion of his
the " Chaplain's " legal ability and of hal
his firmness in the performance of the s'e'
re- duties imposed upon him. If he laic
ng knows as much about the Gospel as thli
th, he does about the Law, we should mi
nd like to hear him preach; for, we have clii
the no doubt, supposing his lungs to be it
Dn- equal to his brains, that, like' the wa
Kentuckian's favorite preacher, he is
"h-ll at a camp meeting." We will Ca
iventure to affirm that there is more ity
ice knowledge of the law bearing on his. g
St. case, displayed in his; decision, more lik
logic in applying the law to the facts,: ai
Til, and more firmness in thle enfot'cement ,
of his opinions, than were displayed: th
by Jhdge Weemsr and all his resolu- let
to otia writers put together. In the po
ar$ outset, when the "C haplain" presents ne
ard his commission, he shows that he is lii
an officer regularly oppoiated by a. ,a
high and lawful atthrrity, ynd ther e'
d fiore has a power which ud ,equii
os- cannot prove tlht he limsclf posses: t
fsrt ee. Andwhea.h comoes.to the labv
h of the case re points to the statiteg

which udgeo Weems has enroadedol
upon, airi'fct of Congress 8s9 ilain:n~n
Bos-expct hat "the U a farin man .

while Judge Weems, on tie obhrm
hand, cannot, for the. life of him1 tall d
fullandue' what laws he naot or whether
ca :he actsunder any law stall. As forthe
a d miserable plea of the Bossier lawyets h
te that " there is nointerruption of the
civil law in the State," there is nodt
a child in .ouisiona so ignorant as to
'o he need the " Chaplain's" dlear and com- c
hited plete refutation p such an assertion.
