Texas Railroad. This tariff ought,
however, to be reduced; for, while
it may be thought that one dollar
and ten cents is low for freight on
q barrelof -four from st. Louis,
still sixty cents is too much over
70 miles of railroad, which is, we
understand, the proportion receiv-
ed by the Vicksburg and Monroe
Railroad. We would commend
to the company q further reduc-
ton, and liberal publicity of the
fact. They ought, also, in: justice
to travel, to abolish at once the
present abominable arrangements
by which connection is secured
with Vicksburg and the railroad
depot there. The extras on bag
gage and for passengers-twenty-
five cents here and fifty cents
there-are nuisances which ought
to be promptly abated, as afford
ing sharpers splendid opportuni-
ties to fleece verdant passengers
and as entailing upon the latter
trouble and annoyances for which
we can see no possible excuse.
Our trip extended also to Gin
cinnati; but our stay=was confined
to only a few hours, during which
time business engagements alb
sorbed our entire attention.. We
could see, however, abundant ev-
licences of Western progress, thrift
and energy, and of that marvel
Gus expansion for which the West
is so pre-eminently distinguished.

sF 1t is impossible to draw an
Ineligible conclusion from the
confused stuff sent by the cable as
war news from Europe. 1t ap-
pears, however, that the Germans
are pushing on, with the results
of the latest battles somewhat
more favorable to the French.

For STATE TKBAsURER.-Els
where will be found the announce
ment of Capt. w. B. Brockett, of
Madison, as a candidate for the
nomination for Treasurer before
theapproaching State Convention.
Capt. Brockett has been for many
years president of Madison parish;
was a gallant Confederate during
the war, and is an experienced ac-
countant. The fact that his claims
are strongly espoused by a num-
Der Of influential Democrats, is
evidence that he is not without
strength, and we believe the claim
made for North Louisiana, for a
candidate on the State ticket will
be conceded all over the State.

From Monroe to St. Louis, and Return

From monroe 20 ~. LOUIS anu hotuTn'
Computing the distance by rail,
st. Louis is distant from Monroe
664 miles. The time occupied in
,travehng this distance is Al hours.
The route travelled is over the
North Louisiana & Texas Railroad
to Vicksburg, ~ miles; the .Vicks-
burg & Meridian to Jackson, 45
miles; the N. O., J. & Ct. N. Rail
road to Canton, % miles; the Mis-
sissippi Central toJackson, Tenn,
235 miles; the Mobile 81. Ohio to
Columbus, KY, SO miles, where
passengers are promptly crossed
over the Mississippi to Belmont,
whence they go by the st. Louis
& Iron Mountain Railroad, 1876
miles, to st. Louis.
Our recent trip to st. Louis was
made over this route. In most
respects it is q pleasant route, all
night trains being provided with
sleeping cars, the roads tolerably
smooth, eating houses reasonably.
good, and railroad employees po-
lite to passengers and attentive to
their duties. s-
OF st. Louis, we received q most
favorable impression, spending
several days there and mingling
pretty freely with its business
men and taking occasional strells
or rides oventhe city. The loca-
ton, geographically, is not sur
passed perhaps by any city in the
Union. From the river the ascent
is gentle for three or four streets,
when a plain is reached, which is
slightly undulating in all direc-
tions, affording variety to the per-
spective up and down the streets,
easy ascents and decents for pc
destrians and also. excellent drain
age. The buildings are generally
plain, and built of brick; but those
recently erected and many in pro-
cess of erection are ornamented
with marble or iron fronts and
rise to a hight of four or five sto-
ries. The city covers a large area,
extending several miles up and
down the river, and back dis
tance of two miles. Many of the
streets are paved with the Nichol-
500 pavement, the remainder with
round stones.
The levee Is model Of durabil-
ity. It is paved with hard stones,
set on end, and extends from low
water mark to the front row of
buildings. Shipments are i'm
.mensely facilitated and goods pro
tected by large wharfboats lying
along the levee, upon which drays
and wagons are driven to discharge
or receive freight from the boats
which land alongside.
The prominent commercial fea-
ture of st. Louis is the Merchants
Exchange, a largo room where
dealers in -four, rye, wheat, cats
and coffee meet,with their samples
for the inspection of buyers, and
where all the business in these
products is mainly transacted
During Change hours the room
presents a lively spectacle, as it is
generally filled with merchants
and their clerks, all intent upon
trade. Business is transacted,
however, quietly and with great
decorum. One wanting to pur.

PARISH CONVENTION.

The Democratic Parish Con-
vention which assemblies to-day
has grave duty to discharge
With it's members, in our judg-
ment, rests the issue of victory,
or defeat, in this parish in Novem.
Der next. Fair nominations, the
selection of capable men, of con-
sistent Democrats and Of strong
men, are four points not to be
overlooked. Failing. in either of
the four, the Convention will have
labored in vain.
We, therefore, having no favor
ties, urge the Convention to pro-
coed deliberately, prudently and
with due regard to success. If it
shall appear that the members
cannot at once agree in the selec-
ton of parish officers, it might be
we'll to postpone action in that
matter awhile longer, as we have
more need of combined, enthu-
siastic effort %han of a prolonged
campaign. We trust the members
of the Convention will forget self
and personal ties, and nominate a
ticket which will be warrant OF
success the moment the names
are announced. Undoubtedly, sue
cess is already assured, if to-day's
meeting acts deliberately and
with direct reference to the inter
ests and sympathies of the masses,

Porter g. Ueatos, Gallery.


Messrs. Porter d Coates have attached to
their store, No. S22 Chestnut street, one Of
the handsomest picture galleries in the city,
which is now filed with some choice works
of art that will well repay an inspection.
They have just received very pleasing pic
ture by Professor Raupp, of Munich, entitled
"The Snow Battle" II represents group
of urchins engaged in . lively snow-balling
conflict, and it is as admirable as piece of
execution as It is attractive in subject. Be-
sides this, there are number Of very beauti-
full landscapes, full of poetica feeling, by
Inness, of New York; couple Of fine marines
by Hamilton; several spirited landscapes by
e. d. Lewis, and some excellent specimens
by English, German, and American artists of
reputation, in various styles, sizes, and sub
jects. Messrs. Porter 4 Coates have also
very complete stock Of fine
engravings, chromos, and photographs, from
which those who wish to make holiday gifts
that will possess permanent attractions can
scarcely fail to make suitable selections. A
good picture is one Of the handsomest orna-
ments that can be placed in q room, for it is
not only attractive as piece of furniture,

itself. Some of the smaller works in the
gallery of Messrs. Porter Coates possess
great merit, and their prices, as general
rule, are not so great as to place them beyond
the reach of persons of moderate means. A
good original will always give more satisfae-
ton than a copy, but for those who cannot af-
ford originals, a well-executed chrome, or an
engraving or PHOTOGRAPH of some saasterpiece
presents substantial artistic attractions that
commend them to the regard of art lovers,
while a good chrome, photograph, or en-
craving is always better worth having than
an indifferent original work. We commend
the art collection in the gallery of Messrs.
Porter q Coates to the attention of our
readers, and we advise those who wish to in
vest in something attractive for the holiday
season, but who are in doubt as to what dis
position to make of their money, to visit this
gallery and inspect the choice works of art
that it contains.

About its future disposition no arrangements

is no proper place for it in the State Capitol

Shortly amer this Mr.. Butler was at the War

Gen. schoaeld, who was then Secretary Of

doubtful whether he could do so, as the boy
was not q resident OF hIs district; but Gen.
