THE PENITENTIARY NATTER.
Statement of the Lessee.
From Col. L. James, lessee of the State
Penitentiary, we have received the following;
TIL A


New ORLEANS, July IA, 1875.
Messrs. Eliors-I herewith enclose an Off
cial list Of convicts that have escaped from all
my railroad camps since January The
rumorS Of numerous escapes are like many
other reports in regard to the Penitentiary,
made without foundation Of truth:
As to the right to work the convicts out
side the walls as you say, it is question for
the courts to decide My lease gives that
privileges, and contend the late law cancel

of contracts and vested rights.

THE RAILROAD TO TEXAS.
WHAT IS THOUGHT OF IT IN THE COUNTRY
SHALL THE TERMINUS BE SHREVEPORT OF
MARSHALL.

MARSHALL.
As an evidence of the great interest taken
in the new railroad project by O lr friends in
the parishes, we clip the folio wing article
from the Mansfield Semi Weekly Reporter.
The president of the road is M w travelling
over the proposed route, accompanied by q
corps of engineers, and he will probably now
settle definitely the question of the terminus:
Our citizens are now manifestHng great in
terest in the railroad project that lis now be-
ing agitated in this section. Shr eveport and
Marshall are both anxious to secure the
terminus, and our people are SO jnewhat d.
vided upon this subject, some prdferring that
tie road should go direct to M arshal1. but
most of our citizens are anxious that Shreve-
port should be m ade the terminus i; but this is
matter with which we will havb nothing to
do, as the place that offers the greatest in
ducements to the company will secure the
prize.
At present we believe that Marshall has the
best chance; but there is no reason why
Shreveport, with her superiority in regard to
wealth, can not outstrip her rival and dictate
in this matter. We believe that a. majority of
the people along the whole line of road would
prefer that it should go to Shr eveport, be-
cause they naturally desire to see city in
their own State prosperous. Now is the time
for Shreveport to act in this ma ter, for the
prize may slip from within her arasp at any
moment.
We are reliably informed that preparations
are being made to commence worlE at Alexan-
dria during the present month, and should
our people do their full duty, we may rea-
sonably expect to have road through our
parish within twelve months. This is q
home enterprise, and the people along the
whole line will be expected to assist the
Company to the greatest extent Of their
ability.
We would suggest to the peopleEof Shreve-
port that they induce the Southwb stern Rail-
road Company to change the gau &c of their
road, and Immediately build it DIRECTLY to this
place, in which case this parish would doubt
less take stock in their road for d considera-
BILE amount. This line would thfn connect
with the New Orleans road at this place. and
would virtually make Shreveport the terminus
of the New Orleans Pacific road

"THR THIRD HOUSE."

|, has been known for years that the
lobby at Washington was an important
and influential body--that they have con-
trolled largely our Congressional Legis-
lation. that this Third House" has had
much to do in getting through most Of
the plunder schemes that have disgraced
the country and robbed the people. We
take the following from the. Washington
correspondence ofthe Enquirer as show
ing up
THE vULTUREs OF THK LOBBY.
Among the mos. active and persever-
ing Of the lobbyists now infesting the
Committee-rooms and lobbies Of the
Capitol. is the burly form Of Mr.. c. P.
Huntington, well known in the West by
his acquisition Of the Short-Line Railroad
and other operations in Kentucky. His
transactions in connection with the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad were partially in
vestigated at the last session Of Congress
but the report of the Committee, for some
unexplained reason, has been smothered,
and may never see the light until a
Democratic House Of Representatives
shall deal with such matters. Hunting
tons large form is covered by an enor-
nous overcoat. reaching nearly down to
his pedal extremties, but his purpose
here is not so we'll concealed. He means
mischief to the Texas Pacific Railroad.
He is endeavoring either to beat the bill
outright. or to cripple it by connections
which would enable him to retain his
present monopoly on the Pacific Coast,
There are at present about half a dozen
unclean lobby birds constantly hovering
around Huntington, who are understood
to be taking their orders from him, and
cooperating in the game to beat the
Texas Pacific by fair means or foul.
THE WASHINGTON RING.
The contractors who are and have
been favored by them, and all their
strikers and lobbyists, are earnestly at
work before Congress to get through a
bill giving suffrage in the District as the
basis of the city government. The plan
is to have Boss Shepherd elected Mayor,
so as to vindicate his character by the
vote Of, negro repeaters. and that they
may thus claim that Grant is sustained.
The third-termers are jubilant at the
prospects. The Commissioners have
continued all the contracts on large
scale, in order to throw an army Of i'm
ported negro laborers to work in the Dis
trict, and for this purpose the taxpayers
Of the city and country are to be made
to sweat. In the Senate they rely on the
energy of Sargent and the usual crowd
of third-term strikers. The arrest Of
Whitelaw Reid was part Of the same pro-
gramme of indicating Shepherd by a
packed tribunal. so as to givehim good
start in his race for Mayor.

THE REPOSITORY ESTABLISH

so-called, in Opera House alley is one
of considerable magnitude, and boasts Of
two prominent editorial gentlemen, Mr.
Bascom filled various prominent posi-
tions before coming to Canton, having
been connected with the Ohio State Jour
nal at Columbus, the Xenia Gazette and
Mt. Vernon Republican. His chum, Mr.
Louis Schaefer, has also had large expe'
rience in the editorial line. AS long ago
as 1910 he used to help edit the REPOSITORY
but old Sam. c. Frey, the devils own, had
a prior lien, and Schaeier had to take a
back seat. .t

THE report comes from Washington
that Grant is again drinking very hard.
He certainly must have been drunk
when he authorized Sheridan's conduct
in New Orleans. However. as it is i'm
possible to conceive how habitual
drinker could become sufficiently drunk
to be guilty of such miserable outrage,
the possibility is that the outrage was
committed at a moment when, for the
fist time in quarter of a century, he ac-
cidentally became sober.-Courier-J Jour.
