ON TO TEXAS.

one railroad invasion Of st. louis has
already stimulated our merchants to de-
mand Of the syndicate" which holds our
railroad charter to Texas either to con-
struc. the road or surrender the charter.
The extremely sharp practice Of small
town on the coast OF Texas to blockade the
intercourse between New Orleans and
Texas has made the necessity OF rail con-
neetion with interior Texas even more i'm
perative. Unjust be remembered that the
only direct connection between New Or
leans and the most productive part of
Texas lies through Galveston. She has,
on pretense Of fearing an infectious dis
ease, closed cur merchants out ct Texas,
by refusing permission to their goods to
pass through that tollgate town. gov,
while a coast port may make pretty
much what rules it chooses against
foreign shipmaster, it SO happens that it
can do no such thing with railroad train
or passenger. 1t may say to passenger
on vessel, Your vehicle of conveyance
shall have no communication with shore
for forty days The passenger is geneI-
ally bound to the ship and can not well
evade the town ordinance, but railroad
passenger may 60 where he chooses so
long as he violates no federal or State law,
andHhen he has bail or habeas corpus,
which allows him to 60 corporeally free.
For if town officer should approach
passenger and say, II arrest you by virtue
of warrant" the American passenger
would ask, For what offence?'' 1t would
Be replied, ''On affidavit that, in the opin-
ion OF our beard Of health, you are going
TO be sick! T. This warrant would by no
means avail the town authorities if that
officer should have the top Of bis stupid
head blown off for the Illegal attempt to
arrest an american citizen on such pre-
postercus charge.
In addition, then, to the fact that short
riece Of railroad viii tap the St. Louis
system and give New Orleans ali the trade
and travel Of Texas which she could ever
get, this short piece Of road assumes
new value in that i. tanks the little tol
town Of Galveston, and constitutes wit
the people OF the interior sometimes til
'shun pike.
We must have this short piece of bad
and no mistake. The question is1ow
can il be most speedily constructed In
this point Of view we are obliged t. Gal
weston if she shall have stimulate our
people to set about the work in arrest.
It viii be found that Galveston,in her
eaoerness to grasp al, will have-ost the
sole communication between Sew Or
leans and Texas which once lai through
those sand drifts which Galvton calls
her streets. Mr.. G. W. !. Bayley,
the most experienced railred engineer
in Louisiana has offered a pctical solu-
ton of all these difficulties. He recently
addressed the Chamber Of Cnmerce upon
the best theory Of directad permanent
railroad system connectin New Orleans
with the Mexican States, ie Pacific ocean
and the country Of Teas intermediate
between our city AID tbse principal ter

yells But, unfortunately, the time came
at last when al the people became afraid
of these men, and hence their destruction
was resolved upon. It is sorry sight
when whole community starts out to
hunt an outlawAlate its own member-to
This death, and sensitive men like such as
We know to live in St. Landry must feel it
all the more keenly when they have tbem-
selves to blame for permitting small Of
lenses to grow gradually into great crimes
right before their faces, conscious that
they took no step to prevent this growth.
A healthy public opinion is the strong
est safeguard to society. The first ap-
pearance of rowdyism in young man
should meet with the sternest displeasure.
The incipient vagabond or murderer
should not be. lured to lis destruction
with the apologize commonplace:
"Well. well, young men viii be little
Wild" "you can't expect old heads on
young shoulders, ''after he has sown his
| wild oats he will settle down" etc. For
| by the time these same wild oats have
all been sown, the man is usually wreck
in body and soul, and the poor victim
closes an ignominious career in a drunk
ards grave, felon's cell, or is shot down
Ike wild beast by his neighbors, In self
defense.
Fathers and mothers in the country
should make an effort to save their sons
from the horrible fate of the hunted Gull
lorys. Prevention is much better than
cure, and few simple rules well enforced
will work wonders:
l. Drinking and carousing should be
deemed disgraceful, scarcely less so than
petty larceny. ...
2. Young men should be disarmed
There is no necessity for them to 60 load
ed down with knives and pistols.
g. Occupation. for the mind is absolute
ly essential to healthy intellect. En-
ployment for the hands is even more in-
peratively demanded. For unless the sur
plus energies be directed into safe and
healthy channels they We break thssc
bounds and run riot.
The severe discipline Of schools and
colleges has saved thousands Of young
men from destruction, and the disgrace
attending expulsion has held firmly to
duty those who would otherwise have !
burst their restraints and gone back to
doting parents with trumped up story
of hardship and wrong.
The fathers of Louisiana should profit |
by the experience Of others, and not only |
require their sons to live like gentlemen,
but to have none but gentlemen for their
associates Were they to do this these
frequent man hunts would soon cease
altogether.

WHEREAS 1t appears from information received
from the Auditors Off CO, and from other sources
that many just claims exist against the state
which under article l39 Of the constitution can
not be paid for want of appropriation, which cases
are Justly entitled to Legislative relief; and
Whereas On the other hand many fIauGuleno
or at least improper Claims, have been II previous
years hurredly passed upon and provided Tor N
various general appIopr- alton bills; ard
Whereas, While 1t is but just that all legitimate
claims should be promptly liquidated, 1t is eqaalv
essential that claims of every description should
be carefully scrutinized before being passed upon
and
Whereas, The law makes it the duty of the Au-
ditor to investigate unliquidated claims against
the State and make recommen datons concerning
the same to the Legislature;
Now therefore in order to arrive at the true
merits of such outstanding claims. and to enable
the Auditor TO make the proper rec0mme ndations

Party demanding that the flag should be
hauled down. They proceeded to do this,
perhaps by force, and celebrated the
achievement at the bar of the. boat aud
with patriotic speeches. Mr.. W. was
especially struck with the appearance Of
him who lead this attacking party. He
was mounted on black charger and was
dressed and armed in military style. Mr..
W. internally set this leader down as a
specimen of chivalry, and prayed that his
latter days should be like his-as the
sequel proved it would have been well for

whispered these words into the ear of Mr.
w: "This thing isn't done erith get"
Now, Mr. W.. had q decided misgiving
that this stranger was federal detective,

great decision: "Ill be id it / haven't

in the field and given his parole, did not
choose to be imprisoned at Johnson's or

TRAGEDY

| GIShChO!
! The Opelousas Cowie, draws aside the
! curtain and exposes amosto disg1aceful
condition OF Louisiana;ociety to the gaze
Of tie civilized worl. In a straight
forward recital of the destruction Of the
last Of the Guillory fmily by the officers
who attempted to eature them, we find a
most significant commentary upon the
manners and custols that prevail in st.
Landry parish. ,uring nearly all the
years since the Wa the quiet people of
, that section BAY permitted five or six
desperate CHANGERS to roam at large, the
terror Of the neghborhood. Crime after
| crime has Zen laid to their charge, with
everyb odysatisfed Of their guilt except
the jury, ,efore whom no legal testimony
could co.e because the witnesses were in
timidate. They did not dare to come
forward and testify, because they
knew neir own lives depended upon
the :s.e. The people of St Landry, it
Apes, lack the energy to protect their
witnesses, and thereby exposed themselves
to te mercy Of red-handed murderers.
Buthose who resort to violence generally
perh by violence, and the unfortunate
GrIlorys Of St. Landry furnish 10 excel-
ito to the rale. While we have no excuse
tofer for the unfortunate men who have
tpiated their offenses with their blood,
or desire 20 speak harshly Of them, we
Eeem il q duty to inform the honest, the
good, the upright citizens Of ST. Landry
that they are largely to blame for the de-
struction OF this family of brave, resolute
men. All their crimes and subsequent
troubles may be traced directly to viola-
ton Of laws which ought to govern all
civilized communities.
The young men seem to have had no
regular employment, and being elegant
gentlemen Of spirit and leisure, passed
among tie people as in some sort better
han mere honest plodders. Not being
studious, nor in any manner ambitious,
hey neglected to turn their undoubted
aIents to account in the walks Of science
whether literary, mechanical or agricu4-
ural. Nc, they could hire a Yankee
