Charges on the y. l.. g. L. Railroad.

The Madison Journal gives us some
information in the following:
Last Wednesday evening the train
brought in five hundred bales of cotton
from the Ouachita river. The Railroad
Company is now competing with the
Ouachita river boats for all cotton above
Monroe, at $1.75 per bale. The TELE-
GRAPH wants to know why, if the
railroad can carry cotton now at $1.75,
they cannot take it for that amount in
the early part OF the season. Simply
because there is more money in it at
$3.50; and again, because when the
Ouachita is low planters are necessarily
compelled to ship their cotton by rail,
even if the company charged double
tho price they now charge. All this,
and the principal stockholders in the
road residents of " bleeding Ouachita."

FROM WASHINGTON.

Tolcrably we'll authenticated rumors
from Washington place Senators Car
pcntcr, Logan, Anthony and Alcorn
in favor of Il new election in this State;
Senators Trumbull and Hill in favor
of McEnery, and Senator Morton in
favor of Kellogg. The tactics of the
Kellogg ring appear to have been
changed with the view of defeating any
action by the present Congress, and
thus leave Louisiana still under the de
.tucto rule of the Kellogg government.
But Congress, we imagine, will hardly
adjourn and leave anarchy practically
rcigninS in Il State of the commercial
importance that Louisiana is. And
that certainly will be the result of nom
action by Congress. The people Will
not respect the Kellogg government,
knowing as they we'll do, and rs has
been shown in Congress, that it is Il
fraud, and vile and oppressive usur-
patton fraught with interminablc woes
and ruin.
1t is probable, and it so appears now,
that, to avoid such Il state of affairs, the
friends of the Fusion government in
Congress will be compelled to join the
advocates of Il now election, as the best
that can be done at this late day and us
the only available remedy for the wrong
pcrpctratcd by Durclrs interference
This, indeed, will be very trying to the
material interests of the State, but it
would be better to lose onc-half an
average crop than to have to submit
indefinitely to the rule of Mr.. Kellogg
and his negro lcutCuantS. We arc
satisfied that the EusiOniets can increase

Ben. I'LL has written a letter on the
Georgia bond question. The Atlanta
Constitution says:
ssNlr. Hill takes the novel and bold
ground that none of the Bullock bonds
arc valid claims against the State; that
the Bullock government was the crca-
turc of Federal authority, not author
lied to bind the State, and that the
United States Government should pay
all the Bullock claims and expenses.
But he adds further that it the Bullock
dynasty is once recognized as the States
own agency, then the claims of inno-
cent holders Of Bullocl's illegal bonds
must be Investigated and recognized
when shown. The recognition of
any Of the Bullock bonds opens the
door to every equitable claim connect
cd with all Of them, legal or illegal.
Mr.. Hill thinks that the State should
have referred the holders OF the Bull
lock securities to tho Federal Govern
mcnt for payment, and at the Same
time have assisted them in pushing
the claim.'

THE ALDINE.

Decidedly the most entertaining illus
tratctLperiodical we have ever seen, is
the Aldine, published in New York,
by Jas. Sutton & Co. Somewhat par
ticular in the bestowal of praise upon
magazines, we are willing to speak Of
the Aldinc in the most liberal terms of
commentator. Its engravings sur
pass, in finish, fidelity to nature, size
and number, those Of any periodical Of
tho day. The paper and print are Of
the very best, such as are generally
found only in books issued for holiday
gifts. The reading matter is Ola varied
character, as BELTS a magazine suitable
for the parlor and libary. The twelve
numbers bound make q book for the
center table unequalcd in English book
making. Two large and beautiful
chromos are given to each subscriber.
Price Of subscription, IS per annum.

LAND ENTRIES DURING TIE WAR.


The United States land department
does not recognize any entry of Gore'1e-
uacUt lands made in this State after the
3lst of January, 1861, up to the re-
opening Of the Land Office after the
war. The entries numbered from 49,
OPT to and including 1882 arc the en-
tries held rs invalid, except such as
were entries of swamp land, which
belonged to the State and have since
tho war been confirmed by an Act of
the legislature. 1t is probable, we are
informed, that some Of the entries
marked "swamp entrics," were not for
swamp lands, and that some not thus
marked were for swamp lands. This
question can be determined by Il refer
cncc to the maps here, Or at the State
Registers office.
Persons who entered lands after the
:}lst Of January, 1861, and during the
war, would do we'll to inquire into this
matter. In one or two instances, set
tiers, who thought they had good
title, have been entered out, and left
without either house or home.

papers regularly and his own paper too ?
Some how or other the idea has crept into
the heads Of people, that in order TO get a
paper that is paper they must send
away for some publication which is issued
from fsr-of city, or perhaps purchase 1t
every day or week from Dswsdealer,
paying good round price for i, and at
the same II me they feel too poor TO sub
scribe for the paper which some enter
prising fellaws are struggling to build up
in their owr town.
Are thest persons aware that just in the
