THE SITUATION IN LOUISIANA
as GROWS MORE SERIOUS.

When the telegraph flashed the glorious
news that the citizens of Louisiana, had,
notwithstanding the efforts of the adminise
tration, directed by that bad man. Attor-
ney General Williams, triumpbed over the
infamous schemes of their enemies, and
elected majority of their candidates, it
was expected and hoped that they would
be permitted to enjoy the fruits Of their
great victory, and would be left free to take
such steps as might be necessary to restore
order and prosperity to that sadly abused
and outraged State. This hope was con-
sidered the more rational in view Of the
Democratic triumphs all over the Union.
It was believed that public opinion would
have its weight upon the wicked conspira-
tors against the lawful authority Of the le-
gally elected officers, and that solution
of all the complications would leave tie
citizens free once more. Hence Il was an
nounced everywhere that the patience and
forBearance Of the citizens Of that State
had triumphed over their malignant foes.
But it was soon ascertained that Packard,
Casey and Kellogg, as the chief consplra-
tors against the people Of Louisiana were
determined to make all the Efforts IN their
power to thwart and defeat the win Of the
State. And it appears that they have been
encouraged and assisted BY the administra-
ton. This is very grave ofienss which
viii be still more signally rebnked BY the
brave and outspOken freemen Of the United
States. The Returning Board have been At
work for some time, bat have not as vet
rear completed the count Of the votes In
the several parishes Of the State. At the
rate now indicated, We may suppnss that
they viii finish their canvass by the first Of
January next I But 50 far, il Is apparent
that fair and impartial count Is not in
tended; that they intend to 50 manipulate
the vote e. to cut down Democrats MAORI
ties and thus count in many Of their tools.
Just here the gravity Of the situaGion be.
gins to assume the most threatening aspects
The citizens Of the state are determined 10
yield no longer to the malignant dcirns Of
ths kdrd-Kellogg clique. who Win not
stop short Of the realization q their hcptz

WE are not surprised that "Civis" op-
poses an usury law, Any man who has
loaned money at high rates thinks it great
hardship to be prevented from doing so as
often as he pleases. It is-an- easy way to
make money, but 1t falls with crushing
weight upon the poor and needy. We
have heretofore fully answered all the OBJ
jections of "Civis," and need not repeat
them. But he mistakes the law of Moses.
The Jaw says nothing about usury except
on money. His argument in relation to
sowing their vineyards with divers seed,
etc., does not touch the case. As,well cite
the law against murder, lying, etc. Our
Saviour, in his parable of the talents, did
not allude to money, but to the various
gifts bestowed upon man by the Creator for
his glory. It was only comparison. The
whole argument is specious, and abounds
in allegations which are not sustained by
experience. We have a high regard for
''Civis" personally; but it Is evident that
he has examined closely only one side of
the case.

THE Houston Telegraph agrees, with us,
that the district judges should be appointed,
and contends that the judges of the su-
preme Court should be appointed also.
The Telegraph thinks that the people can
not judge Of the qualifications Of men
for such Offices, and, therefore, they should
be selected on account Of their ability and
suitable qualifications. Itwould certainly
be better than to give the election Of both
district and Supreme judges to the people.
But We think that all the other officers ex-
cept the Secretary Of State, Adiutant Gen
eral and superintendents Of asylums should
be elected BY the people. We, publish in
another column an extract from the 7els-
graph upon the subject.

Indians, was kept prisoner two years be-
fore he escaped from them. Some seven
months OF more ago, he started across the
plains as guide for a small immigrant train
going to the Pacific coast, or thereaways. and
was captured in fight with the Apache lp-
dians up in Arizona. The immigrants wee
killed, and he received four wounds, from
which he has not yet recovered being IN

At the invitation oi Gen. Smith num-
Der of our leading citi IS met in the par
lor Of the Raymond 81 on Friday even
ing, to take into a1eratlon plans for
securing another line ol lailWay to the coast.
Gen. Smith stated that he had been induced
to bring this matter before our people at
the request Of nunber interested, and
that what he would propose would be for
the company, of which be is the presiding
officer, to build road ifom Austin to the
nearest point on the Columbus and San An
tonic Railway, which be supposed distant
about forty-six miles. BIS company would
take this matter in hand and complete the
enterprise at an earlJ day, provided the
citizens of Austin, and he other sections in
terested, would subscribe six or seven
thousand dollars per nile of stock. He
showed the practicabifty Of the route, and
argued the certainty Of great reductions
in freights, enough 4 pay for all the stock
taken by private parties There was avery
general interest displayed, and considerable
discussion upon the matter. All seemed
thoroughly agreed upon the necessity for
securing another railroad Finally, upon
motion of Mr.. zimpelman to appoint COM
mittee to canvass the question, Col. Swisher
was called to the chair and authorized to
select such committee. Messfs. Zimpel-
man, G. r. Johns, Forster, gastleman,
Brueggethoff and Tipps were appointed,
and the meeting added Col Swisher to their
number. These gentlemen are to see the
citizens of Austin and discover what can be
done here for the enterprise in question.
1t is to be hoped the question will be
thoroughly canvassed, and something done
in the premises. Austin sadly needs another
railroad, and it will not be a highly pros
porous city until it is seconded. There is q
future before it of remarkable success If
the advantages proposed are accepted. The
revenue of the Austin station alone, of the
Central Railway, during. the last business
year, was over $780, 600, and, by making
estimates on reduced rates, caused BY com.
petition, it can readily be seen that the peo.
pie of Austin can affordrto take the amount
of stock required. Another meeting Of our
citizens will be held at the Raymond House
on this question: on Monday, the thir-
tieth of this month, at o'clock P. N.
All should attend. sr a.Is 7sf T.,
