A Good Cause.
It Calls for Southeni Help.
The 'good roads" brigade, under
the leadership of Col. Ilary Hodg
son, is preparing its line of battle.
Yesterday scores ot canvas placards
rnal'llmen;ted scores of horses abOUt
this city. "Il want good roads' was
the mystic leg:lnd which covered
I lie placard, and I his is the sloga I
which will ring out upon the air for
a goodly number of months, unless
the etfforts of the gentleNaII who
are itnterested in the movemelnt
avail naught- It is the desire to en
roll under( this lmiael' all the men
in th le St ie llho own horses or
teani, ainil by a liutI.ual co opera
tion indnue a beneficial action in
the imatter of the perlImanent ini
provement of the thorouglit'ares of
the city and country. It is ex
pected that ill the course of time
next few weeks, through the goodi
offices of the American \Vlheelnan,
there will be held (in this city a
m ionster illas meetinig, by Imena is
of which it is expected there will be
a geiera? line and cry for good
roads. C. V. Greene, of tle Good
SIoauls Association of America, will
comeo from Ntew York anld explain
I the intentions of the organ:;'zatio,
© land then there will be a decided ef
fort made to pmeconmplish a vast deal
in the desired directisn. ol, HIlodg
I son has "good roads" signs to give
d a;way.-Times-DelLoe-rat.
h Is there no.one in West, Feliciana
ý, the bicyclist, the rider of rlne horses,
e tfe jplanter, who wants good roads
so much that he is willing to join
haitds with those working to this
ie end t If the horses had thtir way,
t we knowCol. Ho lgsoln would be
me called upon :to ship many signs to
SWest Felician.
The subjoined extract friom the
imesl-Democrat is an opinion de
livered by Alex Del Mar of New -
York, writer and authority of some
note on fliiancial questions. As it S
relates to a point much discussed, tIhe
we reproduce it for thebenefit of our pa:
readers. bMr. Del Mar says::
Your editorial of July 30,-"Gold
Bonds and Contracts," reached me
through a newspaper clipping agen
cy. The question as to wlhether a
corporation or individut 1 cai can
tract himselfout of the law of money
as, hiti down iwtihe civil law, name
ly. that "that .is money which the
State declares to be money" (vide
.Paulus, as ciued in the digest,) was
never so ably nor so exhaustively t
argued us in, the celebrated case of
the "Mixed Moneys," in 1604, which
was decided by the Privy Council
of Ireland. This decision expresses
to-day the law not only of England,
but, also thlat of every State which
owes its origin to ,Rome, including,
of course, the United States of
America. The case is fully report
ed in Davis' Reports, London, 1674; i
also in State 'Trials, vol. II, page, t,
114, ed..1809. A very lull summary y
will be found in my "Semence of A
Money," second edition, 1896, page
95. The gist of the decision was
that all contracts for money arc
t dischargeable in any money which
is current or legal tender on the day
and at the place of paiynuent. To
Y overthrow this decision it would be
Y ,necessary to lupset. the most cele
y brated jurisconsults of all the ages,
including Paiulus, Bodin, Budelius,
lMolhiaeus, Baldus, etc. I am of
d opiniolt that contracts specifically
Il payable in at particuhlar .sort of
lloney, evetn though .such contracts
, are authorized by an. act of Coii
S, gress, are ultra vires, .and will not
r. be sustained by the courts of last
u- resort. Their .enflorcemelnt would
e- destroy that necessary prerogative
of sovereignty which ettables the
a- State to create money and regulate
its volume and denomunatioxns.
