Upon the low lands we have the

These enterprising merchants are
out in our issue of to-day with IN
advertisement which informs the
citizens of Rapides and all the world
that they have on hand a new and
elegant stack of Jewelry, Silverware
Notions, &C., which they have just
opened to be ready for Christmas.
A visit to their elegant store in Lev
ms Brick Row, Front Street, will re-
veal the fact that they have really a
most handsome stock on hand.
They can suit the most fastidious of
tastes and sell goods on reasonable
terms. These gentlemen arc public
spirited and alive to the business
wants of our community, and have
selected their goods with great
deal of care. Parents and others
who propose to make nice Christ
mas presents should at once give
Messrs Ferguson & Schnack a call
while they can select from the whole
stock.

Railroad to Texas
[From tho N. o. Bulletin. 2lst. I

(From the N. o. Bulletin, 2lst.1
The Chamber Of Commerce will
meet this evening for the purpose
Of receiving and conferring with
the gentlemen who compose the
committee from the Dallas Board
OF Trade, who are now in our city
for the purpose Of taking such
steps as may he necessary to in
sure rail road connection with Tex
as.
We need scarcely say to our citi-
zens that this is matter which is
not only worthy Of their attention,
but which demands prompt and
vigorous action on their part. We
have been talking about railroad
to Texas tor SO long time that We
hope the present enterprise will be
distinguished from all other efforts
of - similar character by its works.
1t takes money to build u rail
road, and no man, not even Tom
Scott, ever constructed 10 much m.
u foot Of track with his tongue.
Let our citizens ponder well mp
on the interest involved in this
matter and then, instead OF meet
ing to pass long wjn,led preamblcs
and high sounding hut meaning
less resolutions, meet TO smbscribc
whatever sum they can affOri for
the construction Of the road.
Our friends in Texas mean bus;
ness. they feel the need Of connec-
ton by rail with tine great metrop-
obs of the South, and they have
sent gentlemen here to talk business,
to our merchants not to join them
in flights ot oratory or in writing
we'll turned periods to tickle tho
ears OF the public. The question is
one involving dollars and cents,
and, if ii shall appear, as it nnques-
tionabIy will, that a rail road eciN
pay, then. as progressive business
men, ard as men anxious to bnild
up our own interests and fortunes
us we'll as those of our neighbor,
we should be willing to put out the
requisite amount to prosec9te the.
enterprise.
1t is certain that the Texans will
do their share, let not our people
be found wanting. We trust there
will be full meeting at the Cham.
Der this evening and that the prop
or spirit will be evinced in this
most important matter.

OH easy and favorable terms to
white immigrants free ofany charge

has met with a response from our
public spirited fellow citizen, Mr..
Robt. w. Bringhurst, who adver-
tises three hundred and odd acres
for sale at SO 90 per acre Cash, or
81 90 on one and two years credit.
This is the right spirit, and if our
large land owners who have thou
sands of acres of uncultivated open
land will follow Mr.. Bringhurst's
example, we are confident that we
will very soon have a population
here which besides increasing the
quantity and value of our staple
products, will forever settle the po-
litical status of Rapides. We in
tend to follow this matter up until
we awawen an interest in the sub
ject if it takes us all the year. 1t
is a question of too much impor-
lance to the welfare OF our parish
to be lightly passed over, and we
beseech our land owners to give it
the attention it deserves.
Sem in your advertisements
gentlemen We will keep no &C
counts against you and unless we
secure a sale for the land or lease,
we will make no charge at all. If
we succeed in doing either, we
shall exact only our regular and le-
ultimate rates for advertising. We
take all the risks. Send them in!

Fhe Returning Beard.

This body unknown to our laws
under the good old system before
it was thought possible to swindle
the people Of their voice in their
government, are at work compiling
the returns. They have completed
the count of New Orleans and their
figures agree with those already
published by us, as claimed by our
side, and foot up majority for our
side of about 10000. The count
thus far has been fair, but there is
a general impression that they will
not be equally fair in the count of
the country parishes. Extensive
frauds have already been perpetra-
ted in the returns from some of the
parishes, notably in Carroll. At
tempts to doctor the returns from
some Of the other parishes have
been made by outside parties who
we're caught in the act and arrest
ed. Our city friends are wide
awake and they are keeping close
watch upon and scrutinizing all the
acts of the Board.
On DIT has it, we know not how
truly, that indications from Wash
ington do not suit the radicals and
that it has been plainly intimated
to them that they must take care
of themselves. The fact that Gen.
Emory was asked from Washing
ton whether he thought it safe to
withdraw the troops from Louisia-
ma would rather go to verify the ru-
NOR. Without strong assurances
of help from Grant aud Williams,
we do not think the Returning
Board will dare to attempt to swim
die us out of our victory by count
ing us out. If 1t should be true
that "the powers that be" at
Washington have turned their
backs upon Kellogg and Packard
we may reasonably expect a fair
count all over the State.
We had a fair election and won,
and now we are resolved to have
an honest count or make things
lively for such defeated candidates
as may attempt to usurp the places
for which they know they we're
fairly beaten. AS far as Rapides
is concerned the Board aid Kellogg
may save themselves the trouble of
counting in DeLacy, Co"aughton.
Clements & Co., for the
people Of this parish are resolved
not only that they shall not exer
else the functions of the offices for
which they ran, and were fairly
beaten, but that our candidates
who were honestly elected shall
have their Offices.

Some two months ago the Howe broth
ers Of Lansing, lcased the foundry and
machine shops, belonging to the Brown
son CT tate, for the period of five years.
During all this time they have been re
pairing, improving, and rc-atljusting the
machinery and works, and arc now fully
prepared to do everything comprised in u
general foundry and machine business.
They cast and tit what arc called extras
for nearly all the rcapcrs used in this Sec
ton Of tho state. They make kettles. fur
naccs, thrcshing machine castings, shafts
sc; cqualizcrs, cast iron fence, iron
pumps. and a great variety Of other things.
In this business they arc already employ
ing six men, and others will he added to
the corps very soon.
1t may not he generally known tina,
these gentlemen are the Inventors of a
rcaping machine. They arc however
ana are now engaged in building two
machines, which they will bring out al
the next harvest. Tho feature of thcil
invention is an apparatus for binding the
grain. Instead Of making binder and
attaching it to machine, they have cor
structcd machine upon the theory thai
1t must bind what it can cut. In othcl
words, the principal inv olved In the con
struction Of the binder, is the foundation
of, and runs through the whole machine
A sufficient trial of models has demon
stratcd the practicability Of the inven
ton, and no doubt exists of its entire
success, hence fortune is within easy
reach of these enterpris ing young men.

TIE communication which We pub
lish to-day regarding the whisky traffic,
lis Intended, no doubt, as an indict-
nent Of the Common Council, and of
the citizens Of Austin for licenseing
the sale Of rum. To heighten the
color Of the case, the correspen dent
gives very accurate and graphic des-
cription of the work the saloon keeper
accomplishes, and if the man for whom
he seeks the exclusive privilege Of the
business here, is skilled in the pro-
fession, he can accomplish far more
than is claimed 70, him. That class of
men never come short Of doing all that
they advertise.
It was the intention Of the people Of
this city, in licensing the whisky traffic
to prohibit it. This may seem para
doxical, but such is the fact. It is not
expected that single saloon keeper in
this city will pay $500 for license
hence the action of the Council
amounts practically to prohibition If
this proves to be true, who will cay
that we have not pursued the wisest
course? But suppose every rummy
takes license. By so doing he binds
himself to keep within the the provis-
ions Of the law regulating his bust
ness, is under penalty Of forfeiting his
license money if he transgresses.-
What else could restrain him?

REV. GEO. w. PnEscoTT, State Sunday
School agent addressed the children at
the Baptist church last Sunday afternoon.
His theme was, the value Of Gods prom
Uses, rs revealed in the Bible, and he
presented it in most happy manner. Any
outline of the illustration which he made,
would be wholly insufficient to show
its beauty, or its propriety. by an easy
and natural graduation, he brought the chill
dren up to some degree Of appreciation Of
the value Of gold. This was accomplished
by showing how men toll for it. Then
came the idea that gold supplies only
present want,-that it cannot be taken in.
to the future life,-that man can carry
nothing with him to the other world, ex
cept uprightncss Of character, and love to
God, that to such, the promises contained
in the Bible are worth more than all 9th
er things. The impression made upon
the minds of the children must have been
excellent.
