The Texas Pacific Road.

There has been, and no doubt will
yet be, the most powerful efforts put
forth by those interested in, or in the
pay of, the Central and Northern
Pacific Beads, to defeat the friends
Of the Texas Pacific Road in their
efforts TO secure the Endorsement of
its bonds, for a certain amount per
mic, by the Government and these
corrupt monied influences may succeed
in accomplishing this great wrong to
the South. and in fact, to the whole
country but if they do-if Congress
refuses to give the assistance asked
by the railroad convention of St
Louis-that refusal will be made in
direct disregard Of the wishes Of Ike
whole South and a large portion OF
the North. already expressed through
the legislatures of the different States,
oranges and boards of trade of many
cities as well as conventions, aud in
cOntraventiOn of one of the most iD-
portant demands of the business
interests Of The whole country
The measure is only opposed by
those interested in those other roads
or We might more properly say. by
the stockholders ant lobbyists Of the
Union Pacific-solelv on the grounds
Of competition in transportation. which
should he promoted by every fair and
legitimate means; and it now only
remains to he seen whether Congress
will be influenced by this powerful
combination to commit an act OF
injustice to 50 large a portion Of the
country, as well as the Government,
by denying the small assistance asked
for this road. The cry of reform in
the matter of appropriation in matters
Of this kind, that is being raiEcd jus,
at this tire, is pure claptrap, used in
the interest of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, and savors more
Of corruption than genuine reform.

The Next Candidate for Governor.

Some Of our exchanges are suggest.
ing the names of gentlemen of their
choice for Governor. Among them
we notice the Morebouse Clarion has
hois,ed the name of Hon. John G..
Moncure at its mast head. The hol-
esty and strict integrity of this gentle.
man is well-known, but we are not in
formed AS to bis executive ability.
We presume. however, that be is
every way qualified for the position,
and would willingly support him if
nominated by the party.
Col. John McEnery has shown
that our choice in 1872 was a good
one, and we would still urge his
claims for the position if we thought
there was chance Of his re-nomina-
ton or that he would accept; but We
still propose to await developments
and the expression of the leading
journals of the State before entering
into q discussion of this matter.
A correspondent in this issue, sign.
ing himself Alto, thinks it is time we
were thinking Of the subject and dis
cussing the merits Of those whom We
would put forward for the position,
and suggests the names of certain
gentlemen, whose merits and chances
We do not now propose to discuss.

FOrty.twO Thousand Dollar Fire.

The biggest fire that Vicksburg has
known for a long while occurred yes
terday evening in the neighborhood
of the Market-house, and not bell
was rung or engine out until it was
all ovtr. The property destroyed
was valued at $4,000, on which
there was no insurance. The fire was
the work of incendiaIies, which the
same were Mayor OLearv, Chy
Assessor Fischel, City Clerk +. S.
Lawrence, and Al lermen Hardy and
Perry, of the Finance Committee.
The property destroyed consisted of
$4,000 of city money, issued under
the old administration and at one
time repudiated by the new but after
wards received for taxes and taken
up until now there is very little of
it left on the market. They were
beautiful notes with green on their
backs juat like the L. S. Treasury
notes, but not quite SO current among
merchants and hotel Keepers. About
ten thousand dollars of these notes
are still out, and we suppose the
same disposition will be made Of
them as soon as they are taken up

The Assassination in st. Landry.
Particulars Of the killing Of
Col. OfIIut.

On Monday dispatch was received
announcing that Col. Oflut, formerly
a Democratic Senator, had been assas-
sinaled in St. Landry parish, and
from persons who came down on the
steamboat Fleta, which arrived last
evening, We CLEANED the following
particulars:
Col. Offut on Saturday was pro-
cceding TO his home in buggy, and
wien about a mile from WaAia Land
ing, on the Bayou Courtableau, three
miles from Washington, be was shot,
it is said, by negro, and was instant
ly killed. The charge penetrated the
back of his head, and one of the balls
came out of bis left eye.
The citizens of Washington claim to
know the name of the murderer, and
assert that steps will be taken to
arrest and punish him, but they refuse
TO give any information that would
lead to his identity, saying that they
propose to capture and deal with him
according to his deserts.
Quite a number of colored men are
among the citizens of Washington
above referred to, and they are just as
anxious to capture and punish the
murderer as the white citizens.-NeU

Congressman Wood offered a reso-
luton the other day, which was
adopted, instruc,ing the Military
Committee to enquire into the anoma-
lous condition Of those commissioned
officers Of the army, who, like Whisky
Babcock, are civilians in authority,
drawing pay for civil services. This
is a piece of business which should
have been Strengthened up long ago,
but then the President and his friends
were much too strong to storm the

defence of Captain Wirz, and we take
the liberty of thanking Republican
confrcre, who was acquainted with
the character of the man who fell
victim to the frenzy of the hour, for
thus vindicatinS that character and
stating the truth of the whole matter
in an impartial manner:
For almost ten years the body of
poor WirZ has been Numbering in
the ground" and this is the first u ter
ance we have beard in defence or ex-
cuse Of his memory. Here, in Madi-
son parish, where he was best known,
not one person ever believed that be
was guilty of the mons.rous crimes
with which he was charged and for
which he suffered an ighomiuious
death. We We're all made fully ac-
quain'cd with the horrors Of Andcr-
sonville, but we know that poor Wirz
was not responsible for them. 1t was
not in his nature to he cruel, and be
was as powerlcss against drs,i,ution
famine and disease As were the keepers
of Elmira or Camp Mortun. We are
under the impression that if the
wrongs and cruellics Of tie war are
ever written up. neither side will have
much to taunt the other with; but we
hope the cruel history will never he
written, and that oblivion may bury
the sins and shames and crimes Of
both sides.
