The New York Times says that the stories
about the organization of Vigilance Commit
tees, said to be going on in that city, are all
moonshine. Nothing of the sort is in progress
or intended. The trouble about vigilance
Committees there is that every one of them
would be under the control of the scoundrels
and roughs. The gangs OF rufnans would Dc
seized with sudden spasms OF virtue, and
would constitute majority Of every commit
tee. The honest citizens would find them
! selves at the wrong end of the rope.

Cost of the Pacific Railroad,

The Secretary of the Interior, in his
late report, throws some light on this
subject. 1t says ''Should the road,
as is expected by the company. form
a junction with that fthe CalifOria
Company, near the northern extreme
of Great Salt Lake, or little west of
Monument Point, its length would be
about l, ,140 miles. The cost of loca-
ting, constructing and fully equipping
it and the telegraph line is $38, 1924, ,S21,
an average per mile OF 81 ,977 36. The
Government su uhsidy In bonds for that
distance of per, amounts to $50, 504 900.
The Company's first mortgage bonds
are estimated at 20 per cent. and
would realize S27, $780, The fund re-
allied bV the Company for these two
sources amounts to $50, ,6O7 $50, being
an average per mile of SOL, ,033, exceed
ing by $50 68 the actual cost of
constructing and fully equipping the
road. and yielding a profit of more
than Sl7, $50, ,000." The expenditure
of this large sum, itshould be remem-
bered, is entirely outside of the enor-
nous grants of land made by Congress
to aid in building the road, which will
eventually yield more than enough
to cover its entire cost.
There are said to be pending in the
Senate one hundred and ten bills and
resolutions, and in the House one
hundred and twelve, all proposing to
grant meterial aid, in lands and bonds
to the Pacific Railways. The amount
to be given away is estimated at $780,
1000, 600 in bonds, and 120, 900, 600 acres
of land. Add to these aggregates, the
amount to be pledged by the pending
shIp-canal and ocean-steam-line bills,
and 100000, 900 would hardly cover
the grand total. .

More Schemes of Pubic PIunder.

The usal social felicitations were ez-
changed by Senators this morning on
meeting once more for legitimate
business after the holiday recess.
There were thirty seven present but
through the afternoon several more
dropped in and made the number
over forty, Senator Summer, was. as
usual, the first to engage the attention
of the chair, while he poured out a
flood of bills, petitions and resolutions,
numbering in all nearly dozen and
a half. OF the seven bills he introduc-
ed one or two may finally emerge form
a committee, only to disappear again
for all time. Senator Pomeroy in
troduced one of that interesting family
of bills which have recently grown to
such formidable dimensions-for
establishing steamship lines and build
ing railroads out of Uncle Sans
pocket. Mr.. Pomeroy's' project med
ships to carry the mail between New
York and Vera Cruz every fifteen
days, the contract not be exceeded
the term of ten years, and the Post
master General being authorized to
make it. This offers nice speculat-
ion for the owners of any worn out

nothing less than bill to incorporate

Indian Territory, and give for incor-
porators the names Of people belong

provlso that any other who choose

He laughs at power, and wealth and fame !;
He laughs at virtue; he laughs at shame.
He laughs at hope, he laughs at fear;
AT memory's dead leaves, crisp and scar.
He laughs at the future-cold and dim,
Nor earth nor heaven is dear 10 him.
Oh that is the comrade fit for me!
He cares for nothing-his soul is free.
Free as the soul of the fragrant wine,
Sit down, good fellow, my heart is thine.
For heed not custom, creed nor law;
care for nothing that ever l saw.
In every city my cups I quaff,
And over my liquor riot and laugh.
laugh like the cruel and turbulent wave,
laugh in the church, and I laugh at the
grave.

To ruined manhood and wasted youth.
I will drink to the women who wrought my

In the diamond morning of long ago;
To heavenly face in sweet repose,
To the ily's snow and the blood of the rose!
To the splendor caught from orient skies
That thrilled in the dark of her hazel eyes /;
Her large eyes wild with the fire of the
South;
And the dewy wine of her warm red mouth
will drink to the shadow of coming doom;
To the phantoms that wait in my lonely
tOmbl
I will drink to my soul in its terrible mood,
Dinlly and sorrowfully understood.
And last of all, to the monarch of sin,
Who has conquered that palace and reigni
within.

And horrible darkness crushes my brain.

telling her to burn them inthe fire,
and to watch the chambermaid care
fully, saying that as they burned and
shriVeled up, 80 she would shriVel uD.
The girl, who had displayed from the
first the most intense uneasiness, was
listnIng at the keyhole ofaa adjoining
room, and heard these injunctiohs.
With a scream she rushed into the
room, dropping on her knees at Mrs.
AS feet implored her not to burn
the feathers, promising, if she would
not, to make clean confession, of her
guilt.
Mrs. A, by this time deeply imprss-
ed with the strangeness and mystery
of the affair, was prevailed upon by
the entreaties Of the girl, and kept the
feathers intact and the cham bermaid
confessed that she had been prevailed
upon by the other Hoodoo man to
place these feathers IN the bed of the
child. She protested she did not
know for what reason, and that after
ward she wished to take them out,
but did not dare to do so for fear of
him. @
AS soon as the family physician
came in Mrs. A, completely beWilder-
ed, told him the- whole affair, show
ing the fetiSheS, and marking the
y
ing a practical man, and having
withal considerable knowledge of
chemistry, took the feathers home
with him, and on making chemical
examination of them, he found them
Imbued with very deadly poison.
Meanwhile, he told the affair to two
or three neighbors, and getting out a
warrant for the arrest of the maligant
HoodOo man, they went to his hut to
arrest him. The bird had flown,
however and could nowhere be found.
Some of the negroes had, no doubt,
carried word to him, and he had
thought it best to clear out from that
neigh borhood. The little patient,
relieved from inhaling the poison in
her pillow and bed; soon got well and
Mrs. A. has now in her possession the
feathers which came so near making
her a childlesS widow.
1t may not be generally known to
the public but it's nevertheless a fact,
that these barbaIou Africans sEper-
stitiOus and practices prevail, and are
increasing among the freedman, not
only of Memphis and Tennessee, but
OF all the southern States, 1t is the
clearest proof of the inevitable ten
dancy of the negro to relapse into
barbarism when left to control him
self.
