The Cost Of the Southern Pacific.

What will be the cost of building the South.
ern Pacific is question of some interest.
We are not prepared to say what the line
through to the Pacific will average but for
the first four hundred miles west from Fort
Worth, the cost will not exceed sixteen or
eighteen thousand dollars per mile. The
grading amounts to fifteen thousand yards
per mile, as determined by actual survey,
thirteen thousand of which is earth, and two
thousand rock. The crossing of the Guada-
loupe mountains west of the Peros is heavy,
but twenty-four thousand dollars por mile in
dorsement is sufficient to put the road on
solid footing, and allow less margin for steal
ing than the thirty thousand per mile we un-
ders.and Mr.. Scott to ask for. The Guada-
loupe Mountain is, we believe, the highest
point on the line, and is crossed at an eleva-
ton of about 1850 feet above the sea.-Ee.

THE HALPIN WAR.
Excitement Around the Second
District Court.

The BULLETIN few days ago mentioned
the fact that there was a case in progres
before tho Se,ond District Court in which
there were summoned over one hundred wit
nesses. The points involved are simply these:
Patrick Halpin died leaving fortune OF
$4,000. His brothers claim the property,
there being no will; and az contestant, a
woman with whom he had lived, sets up her
right, representing that she was legally mar
ried to Halpin before Justice of the Peace.
Halpin was well known in the community as
the oldest veterinarian here, and as a mem
Der of several organizations.
The case, in certain circles il the neighbor-
hood of St Joseph street, has excited more
than ordinary attention, and the partisans of
the wife on the one side and the brother on
the other, are engaged in almost q blttle of
the Roses The case has been going on for
some days, and already, it is stated, there
have been several rough-and-tumble fights
between the witnesses, with view, it is said,
of intimidation.
John Connolly, prominent witness for the
wife, was, it is reported, knocked down yes
terday, and threats made against Robert Nc
Gehee.
Another witness, an old woman, is now cor
fined to her bed from injuries received ct the
hands of the leaders of the other side.
Yesterday o rule Tor contempt was filed be.
fore Judge Tissot against Sheaty Nash and
others, to punish them for attempting to in
timidate. which comes up on the 18th.
Around the courthouse daily there are
hourly exhibitions of the bitter feeling be.
tween the two sides, and it seems rather to
increase than to abate.

The Alexandria Gazette gets off the follow
ing good thing:
We overheard the following conversation
between solicitor for the railroad and an
old planter of our parish:
"Wen, Mr.. -- do you intend giving the
railroad the right of way through your placer"
"Nor ~ said the planter.
'Why not !? What are your reasons for not
doing SO; it will certainly benefit you, if it
does any one"
"Well," said the planter, sim getting too
old to be fooling with such things"
"Too old ! Why, you will receive benefits
from it in a year or two-and judging from
present appearances, you will live at least
fifty years longer"
'Oh. yes L expect to livs even longer
than that; but what 1 object to, is, that l
don't want to be getting up once or twice q
night, opening gates, to LEI the durned old
cars 60 through my place.
After hearing what the old gentleman's OBJ
jections were, the solicitor slipped down to
Sans and called for whisky straight.

A VOYAGE OF LIFE.
Way Down the Mississippi.
From Milwaukee to New Orleans.
Sad Details.

On the LIST of September last, from the good
port of Milwaukee, on Lake Michigan, small
trading schooner named the "Gem," put on;
wi b fresh breeze as a harbinger of plea
SAINT passage. Her crew were Capt. Samuel
Moore and his son, both long engaged on the
lakes in bartering with the Indians, exchang
ing goods for peltries, but the business fall
ing off, they thought there might be chance
in Southern waters.
Accordingly they laid in stock of goods
and stood out from Milwaukee, bound for the
mouth of the Illinois Canal, thence to the ILL
nois River, and down it and the Mississippi
River TO New Orleans. After the Father of
| Waters had been reached, the unfortunate
Captain and his son fell sick. Barely able to
manage their little craft, they drifted down
with the current, stopping here and there, at
| the several small towns, with the intention OF
selling their stock, but the increase of the
nalarial fever prevented their doing much.
They were robbed time and again. and for
some days before they reached New Orleans
were almost in state of starvation. After
long end most arduous trip, the little
schooner Gem arrived here last night, and
Capt. Moore managed to moor her at the head
of st. Mary street. Capt George Norton,
Rarbor Master, boarding the vessel. dis
covered the suffering condition OF the two
men. and, sending at once to the steamship
Hay titan, procured food enough to relieve the
hunger of the captain and his son.
The exposure and trials of the trip had
been too severe, and it was evident that they
were very sick men, SO Capt Norton ordered
a cab and took both to the Charity Hospital
where medical attention was rendered. The
schooner was secured and carefully guarded
under Capt. Norton's orders and all the goods
found on board inventoried.
| The whole tale is sad one. and the de-
movement peculiarly affecting The two
voyagers, starting out with bright hopes,
were last night placed in their beds in ward
of the Hospital.

The Knights of the jimmy.
They Make a Haul, and are Hauled
Themselves.

During Thursday morning, an account OF
large robbery having been committed was
carried to the Central Station. Major Boyle,
Acting Chief of Detectives, dispatched Specials
Roxbury and Cain and Officer Roman in search
of the property, when the following articles
were found in certain "fence" in the CITY:
one English patent-lever gold watch, one sill
marked with star and crescent, one bowie
knife, one pocket-knife, large assortment of
fine clothing aud handkerchief marked A.
H. May, Jr, containing S703 in Safe and
Louisiana Bank notes were found.
Mr.. Samuel Bell called at the Superintend-
ent's Office and informed him that his resi-
dence, No. 225 Camp street, had been robbed
on Wednesday night.
The thieves made an entrance by the pub
lie alley-way on ST. Joseph street and break
ing in the back DOORS
Mr.. Bell then described and identified the
watch, money and knife, but his carbuncle
buttons and eye glasses, which were stolen
at the same time, have not as yet been dis
covered.
The officers deserve some credit for the
speedy recovery of the above property, as the
theft was only committed the night before.
Later in the day Mr.. A. e. May, Jr, identi-
fed the clothing, two pairs of pants and coat,
that he was robbed of on the 29th of Septem-
Der, 1875, at his residence, No. 325 ST.
Charles street. There was also vest, be-
longing to this gentleman. who states that in
the pocket of the vest there was SloO in ctr
rency, which the thieves dropped on the gal
lery when making their escape.
The silver jewelry that was recovered,
marked a." belonged to Mr.. Albeit, re-
siding at $50 Franklin street, wkc was
ROBBED some months ago.
Besides the above goods there we're Eve
poke: books, a fine revolver and several
pawn tickets taken at the house. The place
in which all the goods were recovered is at
so Basin street, in the notorious den kept by
one big Eyed Mollie,'' who was arrested

who is supposed to have committed the rob.

person. On the pawn tickets lot of jewelry
was recovered from various offices, which
with revolver and some clothing still awaits

ICE.
The New Mandatory.

The building Of the new ice company-of
which Senator "Nevada" Jones is the head
now in course of erection at the corner of
Foucher and Constance streets, has attracted
considerable attention, not unmixed with
curiosity.
There has been but little apparent progress
made in the work for the last three weeks,
but, nevertheless, it has been and is still
being actively pushed forward. The build
ing, as it stands now, is ready for the frame
work of the root, which has been in course of
construction for some time, and which will
be ready ere long.
The structure is peculiar, and nothing OF
the kind has ever before been seen in this
city. As far as completed, it has the appear
ance, from the outside, of huge brick box
with the top off, formed by four walls 1875 by
$50 in length and breadth and 40 feet high.
They will, however, when the roof is put on,
be raised 5 feet.
The walls have the appearance of being
3 feet thick, but they are actually three walls
8 inches thick each, with two intervening
spaces 5 inches wide. These spaces are, nc
doubt, to be filed with some good non
conducting substance.
There is only one opening to the box, and
that is in the shape of small Gothic door
way, to close which heavy door is being
made.
AS to the machinery that will be put in the
building nothing is known, except that it is
peculiar in form, and well made, and that
after it once gets in working order it will
turn out an immense quantity of ice daily.

TARE ON LOUISIANA SUGAR.
A WESTERN OPINION or IT.

The following letter was received yesterday
by prominent merchant of this city from q
firm of high standing in Cincinnati largely
engaged in dealing in Louisiana sugars. We
publish it by request:
The planter may argue that it is loss to
him. We argue that it will be gain to the
planter, as we would rather pay more for
sugar and get - per cent tare.
We want a uniform tare, which is - per
cent all over the United States, except New
Orleans.
All foreign sugars imported to the United
States pay duty as you are aware, while
Louisiana sugar is free. Yet foreign sugars is
II per cent tare. Now that Louisiana sugar
pays no duty, is it not right that tare should
be same as foreign sugar?
We of the West are disposed to stand by
the Louisiana planter by favoring high tariff
on foreign sugar, but we want the planter to
give us same tare as foreign sugar. If they
do not yield this small point, they must not
feel sore should the West rise up in favor of
free trade in sugar.
We trust that your Chamber of Commerce,
planters and factors may adopt the recon-
mendat on of your committee, and thus give
us uniform tare. We learn that Pittsburg,
Chicago st. Louis and Louisville have
pledged, like Cincinnati, to buy only at twelve
per cent tare.
