The Financial Administration of our
Village.


The Pilot Of last week eoE#ains a com
munication from shakey Republican (?)
signed on wherein complaint is made
abort excessive taxation and reckless ex-
travagance in our village finances.
Now, we just happen to publish, this
day, the entire list of expenditures of
the village for all of last year, and from
that list we hope IN. will pick cut
every item of extravagant or even un-
necessary expense, and publish the same,
SO that the rest of our voters may also
be enabled to see where the Trustees
have done wrong, If that IN" can find
any such items.
We believe that there is not village
or city within this State that has incur
red less unnecessary expenses, or where
finances have been administered with
greater honesty or integrity.
We again publish the estimate of eX-
penses and receipts made by the Village
Treasurer and Village Clerk, last Nov:

Sou thern Pacific Railroad.

Three hundred tons of iron were
landed at Shreveport last week
for the extension Of the Southern
Pacific Railroad beyond Hallville,
Texas. Hallville is four hours
run beyond Shreveport.
In reference to the prospects of
this road we have tho following
dispatch from Washington
WASHINGTON, May 14.-It is
stated that the Senate Pacific
Railroad Committee have com
pletcd the bill known as Kellogg's
with some amendments.
The Eastern initial point is fixed
at Marshall, Texas, with branches
to New Orleans, Vicksburg and
Little Rock, and from some point
west, in California, to San Fran
cisco. ...
We have but little doubt of the
correctness of the Information
contained in this dispatch. The
Southern members, we were as
sured in Washington, had agreed
to adopt the 32d parallel, in pref
erence to the Fremont route, for
q Southern Pacific railroad, and
at that time 1.-TWO weeks ago) the
Of both houses of Con-
gress was regarded rs almost
certain !

NORTH LOUISIANA AND TEXAS
RA1LRoAD.-We. have heard it
rumored that the Company in
possession Of this road have sold
it to Mr.. Cakes Ames, of Mass,
for 81 100000, and that Mr.. Amcs
has purchased also the claims of
the parties who dispute the title
OF Ludeling & Co, paying there
tor $3OO,OOO. A sale of the road
has been in contemplation for
some time, and the probability is
that, if not sold. it will be, so soon
as Congress adopts the SD paral-
lei as the route for Southern
Pacific road. Mr.. Ames is Presi-
dent of the Union Pacific Rail-
