bliss Mary Anderson played Blanca last
night at the Varieties Theatre, in the

Study and experience must eradicate her

character of Biancd; it is left for the actress
to reflect trusting love for her husband,
jealousy, revenge, madness. as bes: che

a high key. Played by the best Of

VOLUME IX.--NO.


Among the acts which passed in the late
session of the General Assembly was one
granting q charter and right of way to the
North Louisisna Railroad Company. 1t
was . measure unanimously recommended
by the Cotton Exchange of Shreveport, who
delegated Messrs. William Robson, j. T..
M0ncure, A. H. Leonard and G. L. Smith
to present it to the Legislature and urge
its passage. So thoroughly were all the
members of that body convinced of the pro-
pristy of the act becoming law that they
passed it in both branches without q dis
senting vote. The bill was enrolled, when
it met with an unusual mishap, and re-
enrolment became necessary.
Il had been claimed that the bill was in
the interest Of the Backbone road, or the
Vicksburg and Monroe road, and hence it
appears some opposition has been de.
veloped to its becoming Law. Such, its
frier6s claims, ia not the case. 1t simply
permits the bnlding o! rcad--without
subsidies er fr&nchises-from Shreveport to
the Mississippi river; III other words, fills
the gap between Shreveport and Vicksbrrg,
which has existed for long time, and
opens up way to onr msrket to tho
planters IN the Northern line of parishes.
To show the interest tho people of Shreve-
port have in the enterprise the following
dispatch, received last evening by Hon. G..
L. Smith, from the president of the Cotton
Exchange of that city, ia given:

ali says:
sor Another Democratic leader and possible
speca1didate for President has been caught in
opethe tolls of a railroad ring. 1t is no less a
than Governor Tilden, OF New York.
ducThe charges against him are set forth in q
posi- bill in equity in the United States Circuit
Court Tor the Southern district of New
!. York, against Samuel J. Tilden and other
defendants, who, as is claimed by the COM
y plainant. the St. Louis, Alton and Terre

!. holders in the company, and by their asso-
ciates elected end chosen as a committee to
dispose OF bonds and stocks and to reor
}. ganize the road, and also constituted q
purchasing committee. This was in April,
1861. Subsequent to this, and after settling
. the pressing accounts Of the company, Mr..
t Tilden and the other defendants as is
!. | alleged by the complainant, still had large
sums of money belonging to the company
: in their possession, and from this money
| they appropriated to themselves large
| SUMS for the scrvices which they professed
to have performed. In this way Samuel j.
Tilden received $50 900. The complaint
l further allege that Mr.. Tilden and his as

the trust repcsed in them. nor Of the
moneys committed to their care. Verify.

Pedro.

All roads lead to st. Louis. The ST.
Louis Journal, anticipating the arrival OF
his imperial majesty Dom Pedro, Emperor
of Brazil, wishes the distinguished victor
to come up the river through the South
Pass, and to visit St. Louis. The Journal
says:
How can this visit of the Emperor to the
Great West be secured. Easy enough, one
would suppose. BY September or October
he will have seen enough of the centennial
and the East to desire q change. What
better thing can he do than make short
voyage to New Orleans, entering the Mis-
sissippi triumphantly by the South Pass,
and then coming up to St. Louis by rail, or,
better still, by the Great Republic: There
need be no fear about q channel for the
safe passage of his war steamers. The
problem is already solved; the success Of
the jetties may be put down as an accom-
plished fact. Another month will see q
permanent depth of more than twenty feet
