BarvaCw, Oct., 96th 1877.
To the EPitor of the FsucitanA Sztrrnxaa.
It is years since I b ve looked into a
law hook, and in fact sines we have been
ground under the heel of Carpet-bagism,
I have taken so little interest In our so
celled legislators-that s cannot answer
t o very simple questions, as to certain
statutes of Louisiana and Mississippi. I
therefore, prefer applying to yeou, for in
formation '(aeditor is always presumed
to be a living Encyclopedia) instead of
iarebing my dusty volumes, in quest of a
reply. .Thdre.was a law passed in Missis
sippi a few years ago, providing for the
impeachment, or removal of any official,
who should be proved to have been intox
icated, while in the discharge of his du
ties. Can you republish its provisions,
and also ascertain whether such a law ex
lats in Louisiana-and if not, recommend
the passage of a similar enactment, to the
attention of our Legislature-I did not
intend writing a temperance lecture-so
shall not dwell on the disgusting picture,
of one bearing the ermine, trailing it in
the mire of a drunken revel, or the fear•
fel consequence to society-the annihila
tion of law and order-which might ensue;
when those who are the guardians of both,
partake of orgies that sink them below
the beasts of the field. Apropos of this
subject, and in apology, for the plain
terms used above-has it ever occurred to
you, how much the fashionable style of
disguising intoxication, under the slang
terms of "tight," a "brick in the hat/' &c.
tends to lessen the horror the vice sbould
inspire. Akin to this evil custom, is that
-of laughing at or finding amusement in
those pitiable antics which make fiends
rejoice, and Angels almost weep.
Many of your lodllers are, no doubt fa
miliar with the exquisite scene, in The
House of Yorke, where Mr. Rowan be
seeches Edith never to laugh at a
drunkard. Twenty-four hours later, he
filled (as he had impreestel on himself)
a drunkard's unblessed grave.
* "He leaned back against the house,
with his hands in his pockets, and stared
at the clay bank before him. Edith look
ed at him, but said nothing. Presently
he turned st luddenly that she started.
.'Girl," he said, never do you ridicule a
man who has been drinking, no matter
what he does, you may hate him, or be
afraid of him, but never laugh at himn!
You might as well look down into hell
and laugh! Do you know what it is to
be in the power of rum T It is to have
serpents twining round you,'and binding
you hand and foot I've gone through
the streets up there with devils on my
back, pushing me down; wild beasts tear
ing my vitals; reptiles crawling round
me ; the earth rising up and quaking un
der my feet, and a horror in my soul that
no words can describe, and the men and
women and children have laughed at me.
Perhaps they were such shallow fools that
they didn't hnow; but I tell you, and you
know row. Don't you ever dare to laugh
at a drunkard! "I never will !" Edith
cried out, in an agony of terror and pity.
'O you poor man I! I didn't know it was
so awful. O you poorman !"
Just after writing the above lines, my
eyes fell on a short article in the Balti
more American, which so admirably illus
trates the subject, that I append it ver
batie.
VANCEBURitO, KY., Sept., 30th 1877.
Our Criminal Court was opened by
Judge Sands in a creditable style, as re
ported through your paper, but no busi
ness was transacted, because Judge Sands
failed to sustain his judicial and personal
digh~ty. "There was much bad feeling
manifested at one time toward this younng
ani gifted Judge, until he came into the
Court and said:
"Gentlemen and Fellow Citizensa-I up.
pear before you to say, I am a victim to a
vice which has disgraced me before you
and my country. As lentered this Court
room, I heard some one say: 'There goes
pretty timber to make a Criminal Judge
of.' I feel that remark as steel through
my heart, for itis just. I am unworthy
of the high honor and trust you have con
ferred upou one so young; and I return
to you the offico I have lost, being un
worthy of it. Pardon me, friends and
conutry-meon, but you shall bear this no
longer. My jludicial integrity and official
acts are blameless. Thank God, I am no
longer Judge of Lewis County. May
Heaven keep me in my affliction I"
This eloquent and feeling appeal was
never heard here before. Prejudice was
turned to sympathy, and symlpathy to
compassion for Judge Sands. lie has a
warm place in our hearts, and wehope he
will return to us refornumled.'l
- Not being a prophet; I cannot, like Na
than, point the finger bof scorn-and say,
"Thon art the man ;" but we all know

(probably in other states) there still live

From the proceedings of the Roard
published in the X. O. Democrat,. we ob- i
taln the following estimate of probable i
expenses of the Institution for the pres-|
ant academic year:
Col. D. F. Boyd. President and "
acting Professor of Languages $3500 00
Dr. Joseph Jones, Professor of
General and Agricultural
Chemistry........... ...... 3000 00 J
Prof. J. W. Nicholson, Professor
of Mathematics.............. 2000 00
Prof. W. C. Wilde Professor of
Ancient and Modern Lan
guages ...................... 1500 00
Commutation of quarters, esti
mate..................... 600 00
alaries of secretary and Trees... 750 00
Traveling expenses of Board of
Supervisors, estimate........ .750 00
Lawyer's fees Col. H. B. Kelly... 500 00
Advertising, printing and station
ery, estimate .................50 00
Employes (janitor and watch
man) estimate................ 450 00
Fuel and lights................. 00 00
Postage drayage and other inci
dental expenses..--.......... 300 00
Bulance to chemical and agricul
tural laboratories and other
contingent expenses, say...... 462 00
The following suggestions were made
in the report of President Boyd to the
Board:
I would respectfully suggest that to
the president and the two professors be
entrusted the preparation of a course of
study to be reported to the board of su
pervisors at the regular quarterly meet
ings in December ; and that meanwhile
the Faculty be empowered to adopt such
course of study as may to them seem best.
I would also suggest that the rules and
regulations of the late Louisiana State
University be temporarily adopted as
those of the new school,subject to such
modifications as the President of the fac
ulty and the vice president ot the board
of supervisors may deem necessary to con
form to the laws establishing the insti
tute; anl that said modifications of those
rules and regulations be reported at the
December meeting of the board of super
visors.
I would further suggest the propriety
of commnicating with the honorable the
Secretary of War relative to the assign
ment of an officer of the United States
Army to this institution to give instruc.
tion in military tactics, strategy, etc.,in
accordance with a general law of Con
gress, providing for such assignment to
the several state agricultural and me
chanical colleges.
I would suggest, too, that the vice pres
ident of the board of supervisors and the
president of the faculty be specially em
powered to make such arrangements as
they pay deem necessary for the board
and lodging of students in the building
of the institution, lrovtding.that said
boarding department must be self-sus
taining, and that no part of the endown
ment of the institution shall be used in
defraying the expenses of boarding and
lodging students, and that these two of
ficers shall report any such arrangement
which they make to the board of super
visors at the December meeting.
There are other matters of importance
to be laid before the board, but my time
is dut and the above is all .perhaps that
the board has now time to consider.
SUMMARY OF NEWS FROM TIlE
NATIONAL CAPITAL.
WASHINGTOx, Oct. 20.-A large majori
ty of the Republican Senators favor re
opening Pinchback's contest for the seat
claimed by Eustis; not for the purpose of
seating him, lnt to afford a pretext for
the delay in Eustis' case that is already
resolved upon in the cases of Butler and
Spofford. The Republicans in Congress
are actively endeavoring to secure such a
modification of the policy of the Admin
istration as will enable them to coalesce
in an effort to regain the supremacy that
is slipping from them. Tire President
is reported as willing to surrender all
points but that of the S;outhern policy.
The confirmation of King for the N. O.
flolloctorship will probably be included
in the plan of reunion indicated above.
A majority'of the Senators express
themselves in favor of curtailing the
length of the extra session. Thurman
states that if it is continued to December
he shalh insist upon an adjournment of
the regular session in April.
The various Comnuittees will be an
nounced by Spedker Randall some time
during the week.
STEAM GIW BURNED.--On Monday
night; 22d instant, at 8-30, a firs was dis
covered in the lint room of the gin-house
of Mrs. L. Aronstinc, situated on Gasper's
Branch. just outside the limits of the
town of St. Francisville, on the Baton
Rouge road, and about j of a mile from
the Court House. The fire spread with
fearful rapidity, rendering any attemlpt
at staying its progress utterly abortive.
In twenty minuteslit' from-the moment of
tboe first alarm all that was left of the
building, appointinouets &c, was a hugo
mass of smnouldering ruins.
At the timie the fire broke out there
were twelve bales of cotton in the estab
lishment, belonging to various parties
two of which being ginned aundl baled,
were rolled out of the way and saved.
Ten bales were destroyed.
Withmn one hundred feet of the gin
house stood the store of Mrs. Aronstein
which owing to the calmness of theim at
mosphere, was uninjured. We are i,
formed by Mr. Aronsatoin that the esti
mated value of the gin-house gin-staalns
and mnachdiery destroyed is :about $3,000.
The store and gin-house together, were
insured for $2000 inii the Merchant's IIsur
race Co. New Orleanis, but what portion
of the amnount covered the gil--loiiise, we
were unablle definitely to ascrt'aii.
The cause of the fire is in doubt, but
the gen.eral belief is that it originated inii
the lint room and was thie result of acci
dent.
Bayou Sara Fire Co. No. 1 turned out
pronmptly but upon discovering that the
fire was at a locality so remnote, conucluded
not to liroceed to tihe cemne of eonflngra
tion. lho engineo of Pioneer Co., No. 1,
of St. Francisville, was also taken out
but returned for same reason.

(N. O. Democrat.)
Do the city papers say anything
in regard to your parish ? Noth- cli
ing. Do they contain notices of M
your schools meetings, churches, re
improvements and hundreds of oth- th
er local matters of interest which ht
your home papers publish without m
soy ? Not an item. Do ::r cver W
say a word calcul ted to draw at. bE
tention to your pariah and aid in its rt
progress and enterprise? Not a at
line. And there are men who take Pt
such contracted views of this mat- le
ter, that unless they are getting a& rt
many square inches of reading mat at
ter in their own as they do in a city a'
paper, think they are not getting al
the worth of their money. It re- Lt
minds us of a man wl;o took the
largest pirce of boots it, a box be- si
cause the pair was the same as the a
pair much smaller, that fitted him. o
- [West Feliciana Sentinel. h
The above observations are in e,
the main correct. The city papers,
however, give more attention to 1
country interests than the SENTINEL "
creditsethem with; but it is none
the less true that it is the pari-h
paper which looks fully and espec- 1
ially after the home interests of its p
people. A well edited country pa- c
per is of invaluable service to aa
community, and every citizen of
the parish should subscribe for it s
and pay for it in advance before he a
thinks of taking any other' journal.
There are no papers we read with
so much pleasure as our live coun
try exchanges: They give us the
class of intelligence .which is of
most importance to the public, and
through tleic' columns we keep en i
rapport with the people- of every
portion of our own and neighboring
States.
Among the couutry papers of
Louisiana there are a number con
ducted with intelligence, spirit I
and independence; these papers we
always know represent and influ
ence the community in which they
are printed, and we attach great
value to their articles. There are I
others which are altmst a disgrace
to their parishes -and deserve no
support. They are horribly print
ed; they contain less matter than an
apprentice could s:t in two days,
and they never furnish us with an
intelligent opinion or an item of
Iccal news. A live, energeticcoun
try editor does more for hii.s com
mourity, and generally go's less
t.ay for it, than any other citizen
of the parish or county. Howev
er, there has heon improvement of
late years in th:s respect. The
country editor who conducts a good
paper is no longer, as he used to
t be, a sort of mendicant who is
expected to drink free whisky, live
on $5 per week, and borrow that
People read more newspapers now;
the standard of ability in country
journalism has been raised, and the
country editor, where he is a real
worker, ;s a man of consequence
among his fellow-citizens. But
the country press can yet be im
proved, and it is, it seems to us,
the duty of every citizen of a par
r ish, where an enterprising paper
is published, to aid the editor in
improving it and increasing its in
fluence by subscribing to and pay
ing cash for it. After he has done
that, let him forward a cash order
for the only representative -outh
ern and live newspaper in New
Orleans-the DEMOCRAT.

appearaunce of cold which is observed in
thefirst stnges of epizooty. The pres
ant disease is sudden in its attack, and tl
death results within a few hours. The
borse is a'tacked with a sudden tremor gi
in the limbs, the eyes assume a glassy o
appearance and the "body begins to swell
as if the animal were suffering from col- ft
lie. It falls to the grounld, and, notwith
