MORE ARRESTS IN THE COUNTRY.

1t was thought that after the complete fiasco
in the several late arrests made under the
authority of warrants issued by United States
Commissioners, that the persecution Of the
citizens Of the several country parishes would
end, but now it seems there is another aspir-
ant for honors, in the person Of one Freder-
ick Collins, who appearing before that delecta-
bic Commissioner, Shannon, made affidavit
against some nineteen citizens Of the parish OF
Lafourche.
The charge is that they conspired together
to compel, by intimidation, this Collins, who is
Parish Judge and q. S. Commissioner, to
leave his home and district He also alleges
that they conspired to injure his person and
property, because he would not comply with
their wishes in the last election.
Five of the gentlemen, Messrs. ] Auslet
Max Continent, Ellis Breaux, Henry Piersor
and Arthur Lagard, learning of their intended
arrest, surrendered themselves before Shannon
waived the preliminary examination, and gave
bond to the amount of $1,000 for their ap
pearance before the United States Circui
Court at its coming term.

GOOD NEWS FOR vICKSBURG.

The best piece of news Vicksburgers have
received for a long time was contained in the
dispatches published yesterday morning from
Washington, announcing that the Superior
Court of the United States had rendered de-
cision in the case of the stockholders VS.. the
present illegal possessors of the North Loulsl-
ana and Texas Railroad. The final adjudica-
tor declares the sale made after the close OF the
war to the Ludeling, Ray ring at Monroe, was
fraudulent, and remands the case back to the
Federal District Court for North Louisiana,
where the bill to set aside the fraudulent sale OF
the road was dismissed. This virtually dis
poses of the case, and gives Fannln, Grant y
Co., a voice in whatever disposition is to be
made of the property hereafter.
In this section there never was but one
opinion as to the sale of the road to the hay
Ludeling party, and that opinion mas been
shared by the highest judicial tribunal IN the
land. The road has been curse to Vlcksburg
instead of a blessing The men who accident
ally got hold Of it. fastened the road in the
courts so that it could not be purchased, the
work Of construction prosecuted, or funds Sc
cured to thoroughly equip and operate the
completed seventy miles Tom Scott made an
earnest but unavailing effort to secure lt-of-
fering those in possession sixteen hundred
thousand dollars in bonds, and the Georgia
stockholders three hundred thousand dollars
in money. He was anxious to open the line to
Shreveport, Louisiana, and send all the iron
and supplies by that direct route from the
point for the construction of the Southern
Pacific line, but failed to effect any comprom-
Use until the financial crisis of last fall, which
sealed the tate of all negotiations.
Now that the legal encumbrance is about to
be removed, it is to be hoped Col. Scott will
come forward again, and open up to US the
untold wealth of Central and Eastern Asia,
in exchange for the products of the South
The Southern Pacific Road will unite the
large cotton producing area with tier OF
timber, grass growing, grazing and mineral
bearing territories to westward, yet to assume
tie proportions of integral States; and the
connection will work miracles for both. In
deed, it is upon this very connection the pros
perity of the South depends, just as much as
that Of the North depends on its intimate
connection with the agricultural States OF the
West and the opening trade beyond the Pac,;
ic. May the days not be far distant that will
witness the iron union between the Atlantic
and Pacific, with vicksburg's long deferred
hopes more than realized.-Vicks5,srger, 23a

pa0MULGATE THE RETURNS.

Can anybody inform US why the Returning
po.rd does not promulgate the returns from
those parishes which have already been can
vassed. as was very properly and promptly
dome in the case of the parish Of Orleans?
There may be nothing in this question, and
there may be great deal. When the result
in sny particular parish is ascertained, the
napers are all handed over to the custody Of
clerks for the alleged purpose Of compiling
the official report, and The understanding on
the part of our committee is, Of course, that
the report will be compiled from those docu-
ments but what assurance have we, or they,
that such will be the case?
What guarantee have We That after all our
labor and patience the board, at the last mo-
ment, will mot promulgate the returns as was
done once before from lot of data afida Wits,
etc., trumped up for the occasion? There is
absolutely no guarantee, nothing but moral
obligation to compel the Radicals on the
board to do their duty, and we know what
they care for moral obligations.
We assert that the Only absolute safety lies in
the immediate promulgation Of the returns Of
each parish as soon as they are finished.
There can be no possible objection to this il
the board means well, and if they mediate foul
play we cannot know it moment too soon.
What say the members of the Democratic an
Conservative Committees? What say the
members of the Returning Board?

AN ECCENTRIC PHILANTHR0PlST

Mr.. James Lick, an old gentleman, nearly
50 years old, and one of the wealthiest men
in California, has just placed his whole estate
into the hands of seven trustees, to be en-
ployed as follows: Seven hundred thousand
dollars are to be spent for the construction Of
telescope superior to and more powerful
than any telescope ever yet made" the same
to be located at some suitable place in Cali
fcrnia. $500, 900 are appropriated for school
Of mechanical arts, to be open to all youths of
both sexes born in California; $3.50, 900 are to
be invested in monument commemorative OF
the history of Mr.. Lick's adopted State;
$50, 600 will provide free baths for the in
habitants of San Francisco, and 500, 900 will
establish home for destitute old ladies'
The most extraordinary features of this
whimsical benefactor's programme are dona-
ton of s15Q.QoO for bronze monument to
Francis Scott Key, author Of the "Star
Spangled Banner" and the fact that he only
gives 5000 to each one of his relatives, and
directs his trustees to pay him "such sums Of
money as he may from day to day, or from
week to week demand Of them, not, however,
exceeding the sum of $4,000 in any one
year."
After the above and sundry smaller dona-
-tions are carried out, the residue Of Mr.. Jas.
Lick's estate. goes in equal portions to the
California Academy of Sciences and the
Society of California Pioneers, "to be used
in the erection of suitable buildings, and the
purchase of libraries, scientific collections,
apparatus and other things useful to the ad-
vancement of science" This last the New
York Tribune remarks, ''embraces every inch
of ground and every cent of money owned
by Mr.. Lick, and it is the first time, we be-
lieve, in the history of millionaires, that one
Of them has decided to act as his own
executor.

LexingtOn's Old Age.
From Scribner's Monthly for Decent

From Scribners Monthly for December.]
Nine miles from Frankfort, on the road to
Lexington, stands one Of the finest and rich
est farms in Kentucky-that owned by Mr..
Alexander. On this superb stock farm we
saw three hundred blooded horses, ranging In
rank from old Lexington. the monarch OF the
turf, to the kittenish and frisky yearllng.
Here also Mr. Alexander has collected $780,
600 worth Of cattle. We saw one diminutive
heifer worth s27, OoO, and variety of foreign
creatures whose value seemed almost fabulous.
On this farm are bred the great majority OF
fine trotting and running horses which appear
in our parks during the racing season. Mr..
Alexander's estate, which is admirably stocked
with fine farm-houses, barnes and stables, and
which is more like a dIcal manor than the
ordinary American farm, extends over 1900
| acres.
Near by is old John Harper's modest farm
| of 1000 acres The roads, the stone walls,
| and the fine lawns covered with massive shade
trees, make a series of delightful pictures.
| The annual sale of horses on the Alexander
farm occurs in June. Only yeasling colts are
sold Hundreds of people from all the coun-
try around, and from every State in the Union,
flock to the SALE An immense barbecu. is
held. and high wassail marks the conclusion
of the occasion.
| We paid respectful visit to old Lexington,
the mighty sire of a mightier equine family
He is a blind veteran of twenty-five, afflicted
with goitre, and stood gazing in the direction
from which our voices came, melancholy
wreck of his former greatness. The princes
of the race course of the present galloped by,
neighing and paving the ground, as If an,
moved at our presence. One OF them, named
Asteroid, SO far forgot his princely dignity al
to charge incontinently upon the fence where
we were seated.
The negro men who manage these cratic
brutes undergo all sorts OF perilous adven
lures, but they seem to possess as many livef
as cat. and. like that animal, always land OF
their feet, no matter how far the plunging and
rearing horses may throw them.

prehensive of serious troubles again in Louis
lana with the meeting of the Legislature, and
particularly from the threats and ominous
proclamations and movements Of the White
Leaguers. In Arkansas, too, although the
trouble with Mr.. Smith appears to be ended,
the condition of things is still far from being
satisfactory, looking to the establishment OF
law and order. Accordingly, it is SAID the the
