Shreveport Pacific Railway company vs. J. M. Sledge, appealed from Webster parish, the Supreme court of Louisiana reversed the decision of the lower court. This was a test case for the purpose 2f settling the title to over 1 200,000 acres of land, donated by the United States Government in 1856 to the State, to aid in the construction of a railroad between Vicksburg and a point west of Shreveport on the Texas line.

The road not having been built in ten years, a common opinion prevailed that the grant became forfeited, and in consequence, a great deal of the land has been occupied by persons believing they would ultimately acquire a title from the Government. This decision settles the question, and gives the absolute title to the Herald. It has been said that the railroad failing to earn these lands west of the Ouachita that the road's title was not good, but this seems to settle that fact in favor of the railroad company. pheold Law and Order. There can be no question but that the sentiments of the people are adverse to the outlawry which exists is some sections of this State.

It is also unquestionable that public opinion is opposed to self-constitned regulators jury and executors of their owna-ntenew of condemnation. It will take something more than mere denunciation and resolutions to abate this growing evil. In the Opeloummsa em the police jury convened and declined to make an appropriation to punish the regnlators. The citizens immediately took the matter in hand and subsrenbed liberally to a fund to employ special counsel to prosecutet the peace defiera, and it is annoneced that no stone will be loft untarned to see the law rindicated.

The President has practically deIclared that he will support and assist with the influence and power of the administration a Federal election bill, aimed at the Southern States, placing the control of the congressional electtions in the hands of his own appointsee. Mr. Edmunds told him that he kthought 4he present an auspicious a time for pressing such legislation; and the latter replied that he was inclined to follow the leading minds of the party (such as himself, Edmunds -'Sherman. Iloar, and others), in favot of a supervision of the polls in the South. i This will create no particular stur prise.

It has been felt from the firal I that the Presidcnt sympathized with the movement to establish a big Fed. eral election force, and that he would be with Sherman, Hoar and others in their conspiracy against popular gov. ernment. But while this alliance will undoulbt. edly aid them in their campaign with.

in the party, it will only prejudice their cause before the people. It has been pointed out that the Federal election laws suggested by Measrs Sherman, Honk and others, provide for the creation of 300,000 more FedF eral officials to be appointed by the President, thus making the Presidency 8 a practical dictatorship. With an army of officials, all his appointees, and with the cower to count the vote and deteri.ine who are elected to Congress, the President, ii is needless to say, can continue him. self in office forever or name his on successor. To vote him this power will be to vote him absolute and dictatorial control of the government The people are beginning to recognize this fact, and they will see in the action of the Preeident and the back.

ing he is giving the movement, a I desire on his part to get the control of Saffairs in his own hands. There are a many thousands of men who vote the mr Republican ticket who do' not like the eP idea of a dictatorship; and when they become satisfied, as they will be by the discussion over this bill, that it entrusts the President with too much power and endangers the liberty ol i the country, its advocates will meet with even more opposition inede their party than they find to-day. The very fact that the President favor: the bill, wbhich grants him such great a power, will naturally create a sus. picion in the minds of many and dc the measure more harm than the good done by Harrison's Democrat. el Senator Hamptoe and Pioas John, Senator Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, is a gentleman of the old aebhoul.
