Mil. Editok.?The only question to
be considered in connection with the
change of the county seat may be brief?
ly stated thus: Will the gain in conven?
ience to the community be a fair equiv?
alent for the cost? In other words "is
the play worth the candle'/1" In this in?
terrogatory the whole issue is made up,
with nothing complicated involved in
its decision. The gain in convenience
must be determined by the relative ac?
cessibility of the two e.ompetive sites.?
Upon this point this statement may
safely be accepted as approximate!} true;
that, if the new location be adopted, the
saving in distance to the upper Parish
people will be less than two miles, while
it will subject those of the lower Parish
to the hardship of an additional six miles
ride. These figures represent the actual
loss and gain involved in the proposed
change of the court-house, and put the
gist of the controversy in a nut-shell. And
what is it worth in dollars and cents,this
I gain of less than two miles to one sec?
tion, oll'sct with a loss of six to another?'
Is it worth forty thousand ? dollars?
twenty? ton? Indeed, in this practical
view, is it not clear, that even if it
involved no expense, the county seat
ought not to be changed. I cannot
doubt that this position will receive the
popular endorsement.
But we must als? look at this ques?
tion from another stand pointand con?
sider to what extent public convenience
will be promoted by locating the court?
house on the railroad.Great emphasis has
been laid upon this point, and 1 confess
that, at the first blush. This argument
deemed formidable. Our ideas at that
time were based upon mere conjecture,
without facts or figures to guide us.?
Hut now, since this claim has been
subjected to the crucible of actual,
practical test, it Is proved' to be
without foundation,?"thebaseless fab?
ric of a vision." The "iron horse" on
this line has been with us for nearly a
year, and is now making "the welkin
ring" to the time of six trips daily, and
and I confidently ask, with what result!
It has demonstrated beyond all question
the utter failure of our people to avail
themselves of this "boasted conven?
ience:" Of all the vast crowds who have
attended court during this time, not
one person in one hundred has utilized
the railroad. If these statistics be trust?
worthy, the conclusion is irresistible
that the railroad may be, logically j elim?
inated as a factor in the solution of the
court-house problem. To deny this,
and to assert that the result will be dif?
ferent, with the county seat on the. rail?
road, is t? claim that the insignificcut
hack fare from the station is the bug
bear which controls the mode of travel
at present. This we utterly repudiate.
With the railroad, which was the corner?
stone of this whole project, thus re?
moved, we sweep away at the same time
the foundation upon which rested the
appeals and misrepresentations of its
self constituted champion and spokes?
man. This was his hobby, the fountain
of his inspiratiou.the Alpha and Omega
of all his pompous periods and elaborate
rhetoric. Hut now, his wings are
clipped, he has lost bis vitality and spir
it, as is plainly shown by his sttpplimeh
tarv letter in the last Enterprise.
In conclusion we hope that all whose
minds are still shadowed with doubt,
will ponder the cost. Forty thousand is
no trilling sum. *If we remove the
county seat, the oppressive taxation to
meet the necessary expenditures will
stick to us for years, tighter than the
shirt of Kessus. There can be no es?
cape from it. If, however, we stand by
the old site, the amount of money need?
ed will be as nothing in the comparison.
The present depressed condition of the
industries of the county, the financial
complication and distress which may re?
sult from the recent decisions touching
our State debt, and especially the un?
promising outlook, at this time, for the
truck crops and oyster interists of our
county, all combine to admonish against
the imprudence and peril of incurring a
heavy debt under the circumstances. We
should also remember that the bank,
mercantile, and general business fail?
ures daily reported in the papers, are not
tin frequently, heralds of an approaching
financial crisis, and when itcomes, the
shock will be sorely felt in every hamlet
throughout the country. A Voter.
Mr. Editor:?As a plain man I wish
to call the attention of these who are
concerned in the welfare ot this county,
before it is too late, to the plain and
only question involved in the coming
election "if whether the courthouse
shall be moved from the present site or
remain where it is." And in doing so,
1 wish to express what I believe to be
the honest conviction of nine-tenths of
our tax payers and that, "that this is no
time to be increasing taxes," certainly
not for luxuries, as the new courthouse
will be, as no one with the court trial
docket of to-day and half a century ago
before him. had the temerity to say that
more or better room is needed for the
dispatch of public business now than
then when the present building was am?
ple for all purposes. The sentiment
then of the people being opposed to an
increase of taxes it becomes us to look
well into the question evolved from the
proposition upon which we are to vote
?and it is found to be plainly one of
"shall we build or not?" for by voting
for removal we necessarily vote to
build?there being no place to convene
a court upon the lands to which it is pro?
posed to move until buildings are erected.
While voting for it to stay where it is,
leaves it in our power to keep it as it is
?in other words not to build?and how,
by simply voting for no man for super?
visor who docs not pledge himself to un ?
do the unauthorized doings of the pres?
ent Hoard. The county is not yet com?
mitted to their measures of luxury and
ease?no contract has been made for the
building?no plan even adopted?no
money borrowed! (a most shameful
and outrageous proposition,) nothing
done which a new Hoard elected upon
the question of "build or not," smother?
ed up in the proposition before us,cannot
correct in five minutes after its first
meeting. If a tax has been levied, it is
bo far not large, and if not collected it
can remain so, and if so, it can't exceed
a few hundred dollars which may readi?
ly be appliid to the repair of the clerk's
office which is really needed. It be?
hooves then, all the good people of this
county who arc opposed to an increase ot
taxes, and who Lave a proper apprecia?
tion for the economic policies, and fi?
nancial tradition of their fathers, whose
public examples were plain and useful,
and who at all times shunned the idea
of pledging the county's credit in a bond
for borrowed money to vote next Thurs?
day against this scheme of removal,
which is but one to build and to see to it
that no one be made a supervisor,
who will not at once set to work to an
mil the proceedings of the present Hoard
which had for its object an increase of
taxes for no good purpose.
