THE ASYLUM IL TIE LEGIsLATURE.-As
there seems to be some uncertainty in the
minds of many Of our citizens in regard to
Just what WAS done by the legislature in re-
gard to the Insane Hospital appropriation,
we will recapitulatc its action. The bill
as originally introduced and passed in the
Senate, appropriated 100000 for the com
u.s.jou Of he ceutre building, the north
Wing, r.or centre building, engine house,
chimney &c., aid for Che improvem ~ of
grounds. u hen this bill weat to the
the House, not only was the appro
priation cut down to $lGj 900, but that por
non of the bill referring TO the centre build
ing was stricken out, and in this shape it
passed the House When it came back 10
the Senate that body refused to concur in
the House amendments, and a Committee
of Conference was the result. Nothing re-
s.l,ed from the action of the commit e,
and the other day when the matter again
came up in the House. that body perslsrrn :
" adhered to its amendments and the SEN
ate was obliged to yield. So the Commiss-
toner's will have abou, 100000 to expend
on the north wing and the temporary build
inrs attached, which will be necessary to
render ii fit for the reception ct patients.
The expense OF the latter would have been
avoided had provision been made for the
construction Of he centre building.

MIS- FLETCuER'S LECTURE. y lecture
during TIE past season gave more universal
satisfaction to those who heard it, than that
of Mrs. Matilda Fletcher, at Muuson's Hall,
on last Wednesday evening. We have
heard but one opinion OF II, and that Is
hearty commentator Of its poetry, elo-
quence and sentiment. Its subject was The
en.ranchisement OF women, and although its
points were not startlingly novel. they were
stated so pungently and withal SO graceful
ly as to completely charm, if not convince
her hearers. The lecture was poetical
production, but the argument was never
sacrificed to a stra.ning after poetical
effect. TIE points were ably sustained and
the poetry spontaneous. The lecture
abounded in skilfully drawn and affecting
pictures Of woman's wrongs and sacrii ces,
and eloquent appeals for her admission to
privileges which would tend to ameliorate
her lot and bless the State with purer gov
ernment. Should Mrs. Fletcher ever again
favor our city with her presence she will be
greeted with warm welcome and apprecia-
tive audie nee.

LITTLE ROCK, PINE BLUFF a
VECKsBURG RAILROAD.

As We announced last Sunday
Col. G. W. Sappington, of this
road, was then in our city in the
interest Of his road. From him
we learned much Of an interesting
nature relative to the history and
prospects Of this scheme.
The road will open up and de-
velope the resources of one of the
richest districts in the South. The
country through which it is to pass
is one Of the best agrIculturally
besides it Is rich in the truest
sense Of the word in the most val
liable minerals. The route as
contemplated is almost an airline
from Little Rock to this city and
from Little Rock on through
Omaha City TO the capital Of Da-
Gotta. Think Of the importance
Of linking ViCksburg with Omaha
City and the great, vast West, by
q railway. Of all the railroads
contemplated, save the one to the
Pacific coast, none are so impOr-
tant as this. 1t will pour into Oul
lap q volume Of wealth, trade ant

and yet we sit idly and spec

aiding this road. Upon sec

In obedience to orders received
by telegraph, at IL o'clock Sunday,
Co. &c" 18th infantry In command
of Col. Rose and Lieut. Pickett,
left yesterday at one o'clock for
Lebanon, Kentucky.
We can but remark here that It
speaks highly for the military eff.
aciency of the troops, under Gen.
eral Carlin's command, that q whole
company who were not expecting
orders to move aud who 1t might
have been expected, would have
been comfortably settled down for
o long stay, should have been able
TO pack up all the paraphanalia Of
the camp, put everything In readi-
ness, and move 10 less than twenty
four hours notice. This Of course, Ia
readily done In time Of war, but in
time Of peace such movements are
different matters.
As bitterly as we condemn the
influence of the bayonet In our
midst, and as hateful as Is the sight
to our people of military rule in
time Of peace, we must confess our.
selves wonderfully fortunate ia
having such a commander in charge
as Major General Carlin, who add,
to his efficiency as a soldier the
characteristics Of a gentleman.

ter Bayne, one of the crew of DR..
Hall, the celebrated Attic explorer,

Consul, at New York, q statement,
which, il true, is very damaging to
his late commander, and seems
not unlikely to result in a move
ment for that gentleman's extra
ditiOn by the British government.
He states the shooting Of Coleman

He also states that Of five men

TIHE MEMPHIS AND VICKS.
BURG LEVEE AND RAIL.
ROAD ACT.
We print this morning on the
fourth page a bill introduced in
Congress ON the 18th inst, BY Hon.
George G. Mckee, member Of
Congress from this district. This
bill provides for the construction
of two very important things.
The one, a uniform and well con-
structed levee along the Missis-
sippi river from Memphis to
V~icksburg, all Of which will be in
the control of one body, in conse-
quence Of which it will always be
kept in good order. Two or three
counties in one section unite and
control the levces in their limits
and elsewhere two or three other
counties do likewise. There is no
uniformity Of action. Each acts
upon its own system and in con-
sequence the whole lcvce system
is sadly defective. 1t should
be contded to some incorpo-
ration which could consoli-
date at short notice the whole
force necessary for the protection
Of the entire line at the point
most in danger. Uniting thus
railroad and levce interest this OBJ
ject will he accomplished and in
the construction Of the contcm-
plated road by its levec protection
alone a vast area Of the most pro.
ductive soil in the South will be
reclaimed. Besides, by the con-
struction Of the railroad the re-
sources of all this vast district
will be fully developed. 1t is one
Of the most beneficial schemes that
Is now contemplated.
The bill has in it all the ele-
ments Of success. The franchises
are very great. Among which We
call attention to hat of land
grants. Congress donates twenty
thousand acres Of public land To
every mile Of the road constructed.
This, il it could be made imme.
diately available, is quite sufficient
Of itselfto construct and equip the
road. Hence we argue that if the
bill is passed the road will bC
built in strict accordance witt
charter requirements which arc
that ten miles shall be con
structcd within two years from
the passage Of the bill, anG
that within five years the rOat
shall be completed between Mem
phis and this point, by which tim'
we hope to see the New Orleans
Baton Rouge and Vicksburg Rail
road also completed, which viii
give q through line from Mcmphi
to New Orleans, passing through
this city. In other words, if tn
bill passes, by the middle Of 1877,
the road will be finished. The bill
also provides for a continuance o
the road on to Kansas City il
Missouri. This will be eventually
and not very far distant the da.
either, the meeting point of O
least a dozen railroads, and no
least in Importance among ther
will be the one provided for b
Mr.. Mckee.
Vicksburg weekly herald. (Vicksburg, Miss.) 1868-1883, 1870-04-30

the State will perfect the titles by
rcIinquishing her tax claims.
Should the Company never sue
coed in building the road, the lands
instead Of reverting to the State
go back TO the original owner.
So il persons whose lands have
been thus forfeited, have doubts
about the building ofthe road, they
have by this means n certainty Of
recovering their lands without cost.
The road as we understand it is to
follow the Arkansas river from
Little Rock through Pine Bluff to
some point in Desha county,
when it will turn down the Mis-
sissippi river, the road bed to be
a levee sufficient TO protect the
Country from overflow from both
streams.
Arrangements have been made
to construct the road to about the
northern boundary line Of Chicot
county, where it will then tcrmi.
nate on the Mississippi river, un-
less the people Of Vicksburg and
the in parishes of Louisiana inter
mediate between Vicksburg and the
Southern boundary of Arkansas
aid in its construction to this city.
There are in this city an State
many persons who own lands in
Desha and ChicOt counties, which
would be made doubly valuable il
this road should be constructed
Why will they not give a portion
Of their land to the road to aid its
continuance to this city? Col
Harper p. Hunt Of this city, as We
are informed, has given to the
company four hundred acres o
his land, and he feels that if thu
road is built, he has made q mag
niilcent investment. The DE SotC
company has offered to give sever
acres there for a depot. Win moi
other landholders do likewise ?
This is an important subject, ant
we hope our Improvement Asso
citation will take hold Of it an,
push it through.
BY the construction of this roa,
upon the lGvee, which is also to b
constructed by the company, Bog
gy Bayou and Opossom Fork wi.
be levied and all that district O
country now flooded annually b
these streams will be redeemed
So also will Carroll and othe
northern parishes of Louisian
which yearly suffer from tn
streams Of water turned in upo
them from those drenched dis
tricls in Arkansas.
