BOARD OF TeADE.-Tmprorcmelt
of Red Rirer-At a meeting Of the
Board of Trade, held on Saturday
night, the question Of the improvement
of Red River came up, on report Of
a committee of the Board Of Directors.
BY resolution it was proposed to I'M
dertake the closing of the river below
Scopini's cut off emptying into Tones
Bayou, for the purpose Of improving
navigation, and in order to facilitate
the matter, the chairman of the meet
irg was directed to appoint commit
tee ofsev to at once 60 to work to raise
the means that will be required for its
successful completion. Upon this com
mittee were appointed Messrs. r. ID.
Sale, T. II. Morris, 6. a. Pike, j. b..
Lewis, S. Levy, jr., Capt. Utz, aud
Col. Ward. This is a very important
work, and it is to be hoped that it will
be speedily accomplished.
FRH,-A fire occurred here on
Sunday night. destroying three frame
buildings in the OFT skins oPthe town,
belonging to and occupied by some
colored men. This is the first fire we
have had here in upwards oftwo years.
We believe there was no insurance
upon the property. The fire depart
mont turned out promptly, but the
distance that the machines had to go
rendered their presence useless. The
buildings were intirely consumed inside
of half an hour. The loss is estimated
about 5000.
The Weekly Washington telegraph., 1871-10-04

Attention is directed to the proceed-
ngs of the railroad meeting held at
this place on last Saturday. The sit
nation, we think, is hopeful. The'peo.
,le are very much interested in this
interprise, and we have high hopes of
witnessing the early completion of
narrow gauge road from Camden to this
place. And right here let us make an
illustration of the benefits of this rail-
road. Suppose we estimate the cost
of the road at ten thousand dollars
mile, or one dollar and eighty-three
cents a foot. If We confne the bene-
fits to strip six and a quarter miles
wide on each side Of the road, then
each foot of railway would benefit an
acre and half of land, and if taxed
upon the land would amount to one
dollar and twenty two cents an acre.
Is there a region anywhere penetra'
ted by railroad where the advance in
real value has not been five times this
amount? But we are opposed to tax
upon land or other property to build
the road, and meeting of our citizens
has made known the opposition of the
people to such scheme. What we
want to show, is, that an aggregate
subscription equal TO one dollar and
twenty-five cents an acre on all the land
within six and a quarter miles OF the
road, will build and equip it. We ask
special attention to the basis of the cal
culation we have made, and then we
ask if sane men will longer doubt the
ability of The people to build the road.

for its operations, one cleai Of all
encumbrances.
And what is said of railroads and
other internal improvements under a
radical regime is equally true of free
schools. sThe free school system of this
State is cumbersome, extravagant and
ineffective 1t requires great amount
of money to run it, but scarcely any
reap the benefit of the money expended
but the superintendents of schools.
Yet from the very fact that all are
compelled to contribute to maintain
this system, (?) hut few are able to
contribute to the support Of private
schools, and hence these must languish.
Now if these facts are true, and no
candid man will deny them, how essen
tial is it that all should unite in trying
to rid the State government of the
present set of incompetent aud dia>
honest officials? Let the government
be administered by honest men-by
the "bona fide" aud substantial citizens
of the country. This is the first step,
the ground work in building up the
country, the sine qua non, without
which all effort is but cloves labor
lost" The coming election win be the
fit and probably the only opportunity
of laying the ground wo;k. Let all
unite in organizing the Conservative
party for the campaign. Let every
man of the least influence work and
talk, and encourage the lukewarm and
despondent.
Rest assured of the fact, that he who
attends railroad meeting', if any such
there be, and manfests his zeal in the
cause of internal improvements in this
way alone, absenting himself from
political gatherings and elections, shows
more zeal than discretion. Let us lay
the axe st the root of the disease, ard
remove the first grand obstruction TO
the cause of internal improvements.
