A Society for the Protection Of Railway
Passengers has been formed in England.
The object of this society is to enforce the
rights Of passengers as against the railway
companies by remonstrance, and if necessary
by the legal proceedings. Unpunctually in
the movement of trains; inadequacy Of &C.
commodations; insufficiency of waiting rooms;
incivility of officials; indigestibleness of food
furnished at station restaurants and multi
tude of other evils from which passengers suit
fer or about which they have grievances, are
all to be taken notice of by this society For
fee Of five shillings any member can thus,
through the agency Of the society, have his
railway wrongs redressed The Duke of
Manchester is President, and quite an array Of
leading peers and conmoners are among the
officers, and if English railway management
is anything like American the society will soon
have its hands full of business

Use and SO little of performance among men
generally that confidence is therefore recog-
nized as plant Of bat slow growth. There
are some things, however, so abundant in
performance as to admit of neither doubt or

which comes off Nov. 80. Indeed there can
be no nonsense about this. Gov. Bramlette

The destruction of human corpse is not
so easy thing as might be supposed DR..
Webster. in Boston, vainly attempted the
cremation of DR.. Parkman. Greenacre, the
London murderer, threw away the head of
his victim, Mrs. Brown, in one suburb of
London, her body and arms in another, and
her legs in a third locality. They were all
found, put together and identified Nearly
one hundred years earlier, Mrs. Catherine
Hayes, who has been given q new lease of
infamy by Thackeray, tried to dispose of her
murdered husband very much in the same
way. Eugene Aram was brought to justice
fourteen years after he had murdered and
buried Daniel Clark, by the discovery of the
remains. Colt barreled up the body of Adams
and shipped it for New Orleans, and yet every
one OF these assassins wag tried, convicted,
and suffered death either by the sxecutioner
or by suicide.

That prince of State House villainy, Geo..
Benharn, 1t is said, made arrangements with
the Registrar in Carroll parish to make the
tally sheets elect him to the Senate over two
honorable and more popular competitors,
Hon. J. H. Brigham, Democrat and colored
man by the name of Judge Ola, who was run
ming as an Indep endent Republican, notwith-
standing the fact tina. Ola had beaten him in
his own party two to one. We are credibiy
informed that Ola was elected by the popular
vote. and it so, we say when the whi.e people
march down to New Orleans to seat Moncure
and the Legislature we have honestly and
fairly elected, that they take Ola along and
seat him too, and not allow him to be thrown
out on account of his color, to admit such
carpet-bag peculator as Benham. = Baton

The exports from this country of the pro-
ducts OF swine have increased skiold within
the short period of five years. For the four
years ending in 1870 the combined exports of
pork, bacon, hams and lard from the United
States averaged III, 100000 pounds per an
mum; for the year 1873 they amounted to
TAI, 200, 900 pounds. The exports of pork and
beef increased from S17,2lO, 900 in 1870 to
so, 3OS, 900 in 1873. The N. Y. Daily Bulletin
says that the improved condition of the work.
ing men in Germany and Russia, and in
creased wages of English workmen, have led
to demand for meat which the countries
themselves cannot supply, and hence the in
creased demand made upon our markets.

AN OUTRAGE IN GRANT PARISH.

We have just learned of another premedi-
tated crime in Grant parish, where, even with
the presence of the Unitsd States troops, it
appears the negroes are determined to run
riot.
Just following the election, quarrel be-
tween two Republcans, Ward and Moss, it
appears, had enlisted most of that party on
one side or the other. Moss, on Saturday,
shot and dangerously wounded Ward, whose
political friends felt much aggrieved at the
result. A Mr.. Rerdeski, an ally OF Moss, was
awakened by the cracking Of flames, and had
only time to save himself, wife and children
before his dwelling was in full blaze.
AS the family were making their way out of
the burning building, some miscreants hidden
in the bushes opened fire upon the party, and
although luckily not hitting any one, was evil
dence Of their intention to murder the inno-
cent children and wife. Search is now going
on to detect the guilty parties, and it is to be
hoped these villainies, as cowardly as those
practiced by the red skins upon our first set
tiers, will be put stop to. If life and prop
erty are thus to be put in jeopardy for
political squabbles it is time we knew it.

A GALLANT LITTLE JocKEY.-A gentleman,
who was present at the recent races in Balti-
more, gave me description Of the excitement
the day OF the hurdle race when the horse
Trouble fell, while attempting to leap one of
the hedges. The horse fell upon his rider,
who never let 60 the reins. As the horse
struggled to his feet SO did the boy, but the
bridle slipped over the horses head
and he got loose. The boy succeeded in catch
ing him, replaced the bride, and won the
race. Poor, plucky little fellow! When he
dismounted his collar-bone was found to be
broken, and he received other injuries. If
only such faithfuIness to trust was exercised
in something higher and more ennobling than
the pastime Of horse-racing, this act would
render the boy tamous.-"Fay" in Courier

BOURBON IND OLD RYE. Very possibly
one reason why Gen. Grant cannot learn any
thing is because he has so much Bourbon in
his veins.
When Martin Ven Buren, retired from the
Office of President of the United States he
went to Undertook and engaged in raising
cabbages. 1t is cor jectured that Gen. Grant,
when he withdraws to the shades of private
