After the Pacific Railroads.

Senator West Of Louisiana, is after the
Pacific roads with several very sharp laws.
He claims that the amount OF bonds issued
to the Union and the Central Pacific roads,
$53,3OO,O0O, is $3,3OO,O0O more than the
law authorized, and one of his bills pro-
vides for the recovery of the excess. How
this Over-issue came about is a question we
need more light on. The bonds we're issued
ten years ago, and the interest which has
been paid on them ever since will make the
excess nearly $5,OOO,O0O, which Senator
Vests bill proposes to recover. His
next bill provides that all the com.
pensation earned by the roads for
carrying the government mails, troops
and supplies shall go to the payment of
the interest on the Pacific railroad subsidy
bonds. Under the law as it now stands
the government pays the roads one-half
this compensation, and reserves the other
moiety to be applied to the payment of the
bonds; but the Louisiana Senator's bill
proposes to repeal this provision OF the
law and withhold all the compensation
from the roads. 1t is not clear that the
government has a right to thus modify its
contract with the roads, and withhold
from them what it promised to give, with
out their consent. STILL the law as it now
stands is 80 unjust to the government, and
go largely to the advantage Of the roads,
that everything ought to be done that can
be done to modify its injustice.-St Louis
Democrat.

STEAMBOAT KATIE IN CREvAssE.-
This favorite steamboat is now badly
moored in the Bonnet Care crevasse,
about half . mile from the river. About
one o'clock Monday morning fog was so
thick on the river that the vessel was per-
mitted to drift, the curret being swift, anu
her fires were partly down, consequently,
the boilers had little steam. When near the
crevasse, the current into that outlet proved
strong enough to take the Katie in, and be-
fore sufficient steam could be brought into
requisition, she was half . mile from the
river, banked on sandbar. She had sixty
passengers on board, 5000 bales of cotton
and other freight. The passengers came
down on the Lee, and none of then suffered
further than to undergo unexpected moon.
veniences. Assistance has been sent up,
and if the Katie can be rescued, operations
must be speedy, as river sand and drift will
quickly gather around her hull. She is
owned by residents of this city.

ABAD MAN TO BE ABRoAD.-Last eve
ming a man, either drunk or crazy, or both,
appeared on Fourth, near Constance street.

which attracted the attention OF men and
boys. The fellow said he was bound to kill
somebody, and acted as if he meant what
he said. He finally caught a boy, Henry
Powers, placed the lads head under his
arm and beat him with the pistol. Henry
tainted and fell to the ground, and as he
fell the man fired shot at him, the bullet
wounding the boys right leg. Several per
sons pursued the person, but they did not
dare to touch him, as he continued to -four
ish his revolver. However, the crowd kept
him in sight, and soon after policeman

There has been method discovered by
which cotton can be covered with silk.
The silk is dissolved in an ammOniacal So
luton of copper and nickel, or in hydro
cloric acid. Water is then added until the
solution begins to cloud, when the cotton
previously morphanted is immersed in it
for few minutes, and when taken out it is
found to be plated with silk.

BRIEF MENrIoN.-Two of the last even
ing's papers, in their river news columns
solemnly announced that the steamboat
Katie would leave for the upper coast yes
terday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Latil came here passengers
on the steamboat Bismark, and when they
left their room Unlocked few minutes two
gold and one silver watch and some pieces
of jewelry vanished. A reward was offered,
but did not bring forth the property. A
circumstance created q suspicion in the vic
TINS minds that Charles Smith, waiter,
knew something of the affair, and he was
arrested. Any of the Smiths who want him
may step down to the Parish Prison.
That was brassy transaction, stealing
TWO medium sized bells from the Alglers
ferry landing last Saturday night. Belated
persons will now be compelled to fall back
on the old conch she'll.
The new style of silk handkerchiefs will
revive lost art. "Wipes' worth more
than 81 will tempt itching fingers.
Abraham Smith, just by way OF fun, tried
to shoot Jack Hatch, and he was not sorry
until policeman opened the Alglers GAIA
boOse for him.
Policemen report that they kill rabid dogs
almost daily.
A daring burglar entered the residence OF
Mr.. Miltenberger, corner of St. Charles and
Third streets, recently, and carried OFT a
fine gold watch and chain and other arti-
ticles. The fellow scaled gallery post and
entered at an open window. His own
clothing must have beea shabby for he took
good suit of black.
David Tamery did not know how much
the dog was worth when he stole it, else he
might have made himself scarce, especially
avoiding the head Of Jefferson street, where
he was arrested. Captain Denreau says
the dog is worth $500.
