I The PACIFIC RAILROAD CoMPANY.-The books
for subscription to stock in the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company will be closed on Saturday next
l6th instant It is not likely they will be re-opened
again. This is fact we seek earnestly to impress
upon the minds Of our people. When the books
were first closed, great many were disappointed
and thought they had lost all chance of obtaining
stock, owing to the proerastination, from time to
time, Of their intention to subscribe. One of the
reasons that led to areopening Of the books was to
oblge this neglectful class Of people and if they
allow Saturday to pass without improving the oppor
tnnity afforded them they will deserve to have neither
lot part share profits, in the grandest enter
prise Of ancient or modern times I'd
Therefore, let those who desire to subscribe, but
have not subscribed lose no time in subscribing It
Is seldom such investments are offered to the public.
The Office Of the company is at the corner Of Camp
street and Commercial Place, and the Secretary, Mr..
George @. Iawrason, is always on hand to impart
any useful information that may be desired.

Fourth Congressional District.

The Alexandria Democrat, of the 5th inst, hoists
the name of the Hon. John M. Sandidge for renewed
Congressional honors in the Fourth District. Right
jubantly does contemporary speak of his favorte.
Hear him:
We to-day fling out to the breeze our country BAN
with the name of Sanddge written upon its folds.
We see from exchanges that others are aspiring
to Congress in this district hence shall take po
ston in regard to the next representation from
this district. We are for Sandidge for many
To his untiring efforts we owe in great measure the
splendid triumph OF our party in this district, which
secured to the State in the last Gubernatoral cleo
tion-a triumph of pure principle over the combined
alliance and most desperate struggle of the opponents
of the Constitution and the Union. 1t was in the
hour when most men shrank from the contest, aud
feared to meet the storm Of madness and fanatcism
which seemed to rule the hour, that Sandidge was
called upon to bear the standard of party, and
right royalty he did itnor hate of desperate politi
cal enemies, nor denunciatons nor threats deferred
him from his duty but noby he carried that banner
| right onward to victory.
Perhaps the honorable gentleman may be afflicted
with vanity enough to enable him to recognize him
self the original of the foregoing respondent edi-
| torial picture But, whether any of his intimate
friends will arrive at the same conclusion is extremely
questionable. A stranger in the land might be de-
ceived but Louisianians not apt to be deceived
in regard to that with which they are well ac-
quainted.
We are toerably well posted as to the State canvass
| Of ls55-know about as much respecting the inside
and outside influences that supernduced the tremen-
dous Democratic majority in Mr. Sandidge's district
as anybody else-and therefore come to conclusion
opposite to that set forth by our Alexandra coempo
| rary. We believe the merit of six-tenths of that
triumph justly belongs to Governor Wicklife- three
tenths to Attorney General Mose-and it is mmaterial
among whom the other tenth is divided. But for
those two gentlemen it is exceedingly doubtful
whether there would have been any Democratic pre-,
ponderance in the Fourth District Let justice be
| done.
But, will Mr.. sandidge run for the House? That is
the question II is generally supposed in this part OF
the State that he is Mr. Sldell's candidate for the
and that the visit of the latter to the north
west was made with view to further that object
that is, TO so arrange" the wires that the popular
instrument would play any tune the chief musician
might deem most agreeable.
