New SPECIES OF RAseALITY.--A man
named George Price, whom nobody seems to
know, and believed to have sailed for Europe,
has made mortgages and deeds for property
which he did not own, in Hudson county, N.
j., to the amount of $500, 600, and caused them
to be recorded. For these mythical securi-
ties Price got possession of houses, lots, watch
es, jewelry and other property, which he quiet
ly transferred to other parties. The victims
think some of these parties were in the conf
dence of Price, and suits have been commence
ed to recover the property.

Mr.. Edwin Forrest was, throughout his life,
an earnest politician He took a deep interest
in national questions. snd always voted with
the Democrats. He rather prided himself
upon being genuine Democrat, hating aris-
tocracy, although he was, in his way, as in
tense IN aristocrat as ever lived. He was vain
of the superiority of his talents, and was too
prone to look down with something like con-
tempt upon less gifted men.

The Rail Road.

On last Saturday, our town was al
most startled by the arrival of Gen.
Thomas, Chief Engineer, Capt. Martin
and several other gentlemen, repre-
senting Capt. e. B. Ward and Col.
Arthur Edwards, the owners Of the
road to be built from VermilliOpville
to Shreveport. We understand that
these gentlemen are making prepare
tons for Immediately commencing
work at this point, and we hope with
in twelve months to be connected by
rail with New Orleans.
Our community have recently been
greatly excited by political contests,
and have manifested an energy and
seli-sacrifice which would bring pros
perity, if spent in anything else except
politics. To insure the success of
this party and defeat of that, what
labor and patience, were too great to
be borne, what expense too great not
to be endured The same amount of
time, energy, labor and money, would
almost build the Rail Road, and yet
what is the success of this or the defeat
of that party to us, in comparison with
the blessing which this Rail Road will
confer. The connecting link of New
Orleans, with the Great Southern
Pacific, it will be the highway of i'm
migration of wealth and of thought.
Its iron coursers like the tabled horses
of the sun, will scatter the shadows OF
night at their coming, and leave bless
Jugs on their train. With us what
would be the election of Grant or
Greeley, in comparison with the ad-
vent in our midst, of these gentlemen,
whose coming has announced the be-
ginning of this great enterprise.
1t will expend in our midst $3.50, 0OC
or 100000, giving employment to
hundreds, and life and activity to
every department of business. 1t will
make our desert fields again to bloom
aud blossom as the rose. We hope
that all will give this enterprise q
hearty welcome, and lend it a willing
and ready hand,

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES a number Of
emigrants from Alabama and other
Gulf States, to Texrs, are passing
through our town at this time, and
Captain Graham, is kept pretty busy
crossing them over Old Reds dimin-
ished stream. 1t would be very posi-
bic, we are inclined to believe, to in
duce some of them to stop in our sec
ton, if the proper efforts we're made
but it seems that complaints of hard
times, and the insufficiency and unre
liable character of labor, do not pro
duce any organized efforts to bring
about better state of affairs.

The Coming Fair.

"The quality Of mercy is not strain'd;
Ii dronpeth as the gentle dew from heaven
Upon the place beneath. 1t is twice bless'd;
IL blesses him that gives, and him that takes"
We alluded briefly last week to the
advertisement of the Fair, which is to
take place at the Town Hall, in Alex
andria, under the direction of a muW-
Der of ladies of the town and its vicin-
ity, on the 18th aud 18Th ofthe present
month, for the benefit of the Sisters of
Mercy, lately established here. Never
since our recollection, has an appeal
been made TO the generosity and
benevolent feelings of this community,
which ought tC be, and which we have
no doubt will be, more literally and
freely responded to, for 1t is for no
sectarian, bigoted or limited object,
for though the recipients OF whatever
funds are realized, are Catholics,
they are only the aimoners to distri-
bMe them in every case of restitution,
suffering, or misfortune. calling for aid
either by the most untireing, unremit
ted and unse'fsh personal attention,
or by such pecuniary assistance as
they are able to give, which comes I'M
der their knowledge, without any ques
ton as to the religion or non-religion
Of the object, and only seeing the need
and affording the relief.
Ofall the systems of charity, in the
broadcast and most expressive sense OF
the word, organized Ivy Christians
throughout the world, those of the
Sisters OF Mercy anu Charity, are the
most comprehensive, and approach as
nearly as any thing human can do the
sublime, in the total abnegation OF
selfinterest and comfort displayed,
not byh solitary member here aud
there. but by every individual OF the
orders that we have ever known or
heard of. Go to the Fair then and
give what you can, under the conyIc-
ton, that in proportion you are aiding
your unfortunate fellow beings, far
more effectually in the manner you
select, than it would be possible for
you to do in any other shape what
eyer.

UNREASONABLE no instance
perhaps whatever is unreasonableness
manifested more pointedly, though
most likely unwittingly, than in the
demands made not only upon the time,
but upon the pocket of the editors or
proprietors of country newspapers who
are asked and expected to grind every
body's axe. Every line they print or
write costs them something, in one
shape or other, and yet they are ex-
pected to publish gratutiously, not on,
ly the marriages and deaths in the
communities they reside in, but also
long resolutions of societies, express
sive of coincidence, eulogy, and regret
on the decease of member, very pro-
per and praisewOrthy as to the fact,
but of which every member of said So
ciety, ought certainly to be willing to
pay his own very small proportion OF
the cost of publication and not ask OF
expect an outsider to bear the whole
cost of publicly expressing their sor
row, sympathy, &C., SC. For oursel
YES we have to say, that we are al
ways ready and willing to do our part

pected to do more.

The District Judgeship.

Editor Gazette-I have noticed in the
La, Democrat, and also in your paper,
the Gazette, articles relative to the con-
test going on as to the iudgeship in
this district, and must say, that in my
opinion the remarks of the Democrat
are in very bad taste, aud calculated
to injure, if that were possible, Mr..
Seay, more than Judge Orsborn. Your
notice of the card of Mr.. Legras, in
YOUR last issue explained my motives
exactly in signing the petition, for
though l and several others to my posi-
tive knowledge, who also signed it, vo-
ted for Mr.. Seay, we saw no reason why
if his competitor imagined justice had
not been done him, he should not try
the question before the proper tribunal,
or why we who as matter of courtesy
aided him in the form required by law
to enable him to do so, should be as far
as the Democrat is able to dose pilloried
in public opinion, as alders and albeit
tiers in scheme of injustice, impu-
dence and fraud. ''Those who live in
glass houses should not thrown Stones"
is proverb which would recommend
to the attention of the Democrat and
those of its friends and supporters,
who think that outside of their pOliti-
cal creed, neither public or private
honesty, or patriotism can possibly be
found.
Another party has also been max
ing himself pretty prominent in this
matter, kicking up, as the saying is a
big fuss generally, whose impudence,
considering all the circumstances,
might be compared favorably even
with the Judges, and indeed pronoun-
ced actually sublime, for for an indivi-
dual to 60 into heroics, and ride the
high horse over charge. or an impli.
cation of political dishonesty or fraud,
whose private life is tissue of both,
embracing all who are so unlucky to
have any dealings or place any reli
ance or trust in him, high or low, rich
or poor, white or black, is SO ridiculous
ly impudent that it is almost sublime.
l regret, Mr.. Editor, to trouble you in
this matter, but do not like to be ac-
cused of impudence even by implica-
ton, as 1 have been, as one of the
signers of Judge Orsborn's petition,
which had a right to be as
A FREE CITIZEN.
