A Washington dispatch says

Secretary Cox has submitted to the Land
Office a map showing the completed portion
of the line of the road Of the Missouri
Kansas and Texas Railroad Company, from
Junction City to the southern boundary of
the State of Kansas, with certificate of
the Governor of said State, that this portion
of the road has been constructed and
equipped as required by the act Of Congress
granting lands to- aid in its construction.
The President has also approved the
finding of the Secretary of the interior
that the same railroad company had.
by complying with the conditions precedent.
become entitled to construct the railroad
through Indian Territory, and has pre-
scribed that, to secure their proper con-
struction there. south of the southern
boundary of the State of Kansas, the road
shall conform to the requirements laid down
for the construction of the Union Pacific
road and its boundaries. The Missouri.
Kansas and Texas Railroad Company will,
therefore, on filing map of their route and
required bond in the Interior Department.,
be authorized to construct their road through
the Indian Territory to Preston and Fort
Smith, subject to a compliance with the
terms prescribed, and to such orders as may
be made by the department for the purpose
of enforcing such regulations.

A sDecial to the Louisville COurier-,JOuyN

A special to the Louisville Courier-Jounat
says:
WASHINGTON, July 23.-The President
writes here that though pressed to do 80
from various quarters, he has decided not to
call an extra session Of Congress, unless
some extraordinary occasion for one should
arise out of the European complications
The Precedent adds that he leaves Long
Branch next week for visit to ST. Louis
A letter from another source says this
visit is contemplated in part to get
rid of a threatened combination of
politicians and public men, who are gather
ing to represent to the President the neces-
sity of the remodeling of his cabinet, so as to
make the administration stronger in the fall
elections Probably this story has no other
foundation than an effort of certain Penn
sylvanians to get Secretary Robinson out OF
the Navy Department., and one from their
own State appointed in the Cabinet in this
place, though it is declared more specifically
that Mr.. Boutwell, is the real one it is de-
sired to get out on the rather pretentiOus
ground that he is formidable candidate for
the Presidency.
The Mexican Legation have issued cir
cular, received here from Juarez, stating
that the necessity which exists for supplies
of corn in the State of Campeachy, Mexico,
leads the President of the Mexican Republic
to admit, free Of duty, for six months, sup
plies of corn and -four into said State. Six
hundred pounds of -four are admitted for
every ten thousand pounds of corn.

The Tensas Gazette has this crop report

We have carefully inquired of planters
this week how the cotton was doing, and
from all we can learn, the prospect is not
near SO good as it was this time last year.
In some portions of the parish, they have
had better seasons than in others, and
where they have been favored their pros
poets are as good as they ever
were. The cotton on the sandy land
is shedding considerably, while on the black
land it is holding its forms very well. We
are having rain nearly every evening, and
the plant is taking new growth, thus
causing shedding of the forms. We hear of
no one who has actually seen any of the cot
ton worms, though some people say they
have seen plenty Of millers. At least, no
alarm has been expressed about their com
ing. Open hollis are being brought in every
few DAYS since Monday last.

We have little more about the yacht

race, from New York dispatch:
The Cambria reached the light ship off
Sandy Hook, at fOrty-six minutes past four
o'clock p. NJ, and the Dauntless passed at
five minutes past five, losing the race by
one hour and nineteen minutes. During
the morning it appears that both yachts
were in sight of each other and in dead
calm; the sails of both vessels hung idly,
neither could make any progress. They
were about twenty miles apart when the
wind came, and it was favorable for the
Cambria. During heavy weather at sea the
Cambria lost one man overheard, but re-
covered him; she also lost two of her
light spars The Dauntless lost two men
overheard during the storm, by which
event it is said she lost three hours time
waiting to recover, if possible, the men.
This accident occurred when three days
out from Kinsdale. The Cambria reports
head winds during all the passage, until
she reached Cape Race. Mr.. Ashbury an
chored his yacht in front of the New York
Yachtmen's Club House. at Staten Island,
and there awaited the coming of the Daunt-
less. Upon the arrival, the English manned
the yards of the Cambria and gave round
after round of cheers

PAY RoLLs-These documents are of
great Importance to the police force, as their
pay depends entirely on the manner in
which they are made out. In some pre-
cincts the pay rolls are repeatedly sent back
for correction, and the men are compelled
to wait for their pay long after it is due.
In the fifth precinct this has never occurred,
although large number of men are on the
roll and an immense number of stOppages
may occur, still the report always passes
muster. No small share of the credit is due
to the skill and ability Of Mr.. j. NJ. Tourney,
the private clerk of Captain Schneider.
This gentleman is not only posted on police
affairs, but he is also a thorough book
keeper

We learn this from the ST. James Sentinel


Mr.. Decarreau was standing on the levee,
and the cOlored man came riding by on
horseback, and in passing the horse rubbed
against the white man, whereupOn Ducar-
reau drew his pistol and deliberately shot
Hunter. the ball entering the spine. The
wound is a painful one, but not considered
dangerous.
The colored people gathered around the
wounded man and became very much
excited, and in body attempted to arrest
Decarreau, who retreated to his house. 1t
is alleged that the approach of the colored
men was met with volley of bnckshQt
which was returned by the colored men.
The report soon became current of the
shooting, and the colored men reinforced
during the night and surrounded the house,
and remained there until next morning
when they arrested the man that did the
shooting, and marched him up toward the
residence of the Parish Judge, at which
place they surrendered the prisoner to the
Sheriff
