Texas and New Orleans Railway.


The Texas and New Orleans rail
way is now doing heavy business.
Yesterday it carried down twenty
seven carloads of freight, and had
more passengers than could obtain
seats on board The officers have de-
termined to put a daily line of trains
on the road as s0aR as the necessary
rolling stock can be obtained. The
increase of trade and travel has made
this necessary, as everybody expected
when the road was reopened.
The company have recently pur
chased twenty mine additional lots in
the fifth ward, upon which to erect
it's main freight and passenger depot,
warehouses, round house aud machine
shops. The lots are on Semmes
street, aud from thence connection
will be made with the Central.
The railway is already proving to
be al important outlet to Texas cat
tie. Two hundred and fifty head
were shipped over it last week by the
Buffers, who will send many more in
future. The route is this: From
Houston to Orange by the Texas and
New Orleans railway from thence
they are driven across the country to
Washington on the Atchatalaya,
where they" take boats for points
along the Mississippi, north or south.
The shipments made last week of
Texas beeves were consigned to
Memphis aud Cincinnati. Several hun
Idresi miles are thus cut off ard from
ten To fifteen days of time saved, aud
OF course great deal of money, over
the circuitous route around by the
way of New Orleans. The overland
distance between Orange and Wash
ington is 100 miles. The route is
through rich prairie country fur
nishing plenty of grass the year round
for grazing, SO that droves of cattle
can cross it without other expense
than herdsmep.

Seldom was there more excitement in the
senate than on Thursday, when the votes
were a test Of the controlling party in

for the democrats. The question came up
on Thurman's motion to discharge the
election committee from consideration of

of 80 to 30-Davis, of Illinois, Conover, of

then required on Tburman's resolution,
but Edmunds, of Vermont, offered an
amendment that the committee be dis
charged from consideration of credentials
of Kellogg instead of Butler, and this was
again rejected by vote Of 80 to 30.
Conkling then submitted an amendment
that the committee on elections be directed
to report in the matter Of the creden-
tials of Kellogg and Spoford, aud that the
case of Butler be postponed. Here the
democrats gained another victory, for it
was rejected by vote Of 80 to 30-three
republicans voting with the democrats.
Edmunds made another effort to control
the majority by offering an amendment to
discharge the committee from consideration
Of the credentials of Kellogg, Spofford.
Butler and Corbin. And again this was
lost by o vote of 80 to 30. A motion to
adjourn which takes precedence under the
rules. was then made out of sheer despair
by Edmunds, and it was rejected by the
same vote as above, but at a later hour he
renewed his motion. and it resulted in a
tie yote-the vice president coming to his
aid, aud cast affirmative vote, and the whole
matter went oyer and the senate adjourned
until Monday. Thurman will press the
matter again on Monday.

A Perfect Toilet Soap,

First among the requisites of the toilet Is a good
article of Soap but TO procure it is not always an
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleteriUus
materials, and their delicate colOrlng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulslye i'm
purities The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known TO be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly IL applied to the head injurIng the hair, irrita
ting the scalp and inducing severe headaches. The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement of a gentlemen who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his busness be recently declared that
/ pers Ons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven 10 ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last oovlAted, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
| b. II. Babbitt of New York, the word-renowned
Soap Manufacturer. whose immense establishment
| is 10y lar the greatest of the kind in the United
| States The renown Of Mr. Rabbits various pro
| auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest success Is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, Mr.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfectinG the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
| ouced The principal ingredients are the purest
| vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original, and The result Is simply

THE statement made by Sitting Bull in
an interview lately published, that Major
Reno was kept at bay by handful of
squaws and old men, preventing his going !
to Clusters relief on the day of the terri.
bic massacre is a subject for investigation,
and will be awaited with some local interest
10 this vicinity, as Major Reno was person
ally known to many of the residents of
this city and Davenport, who made bis
acquaintance when he was stationed in
Davenport on detached service for a couple
Of months before the fight of the Little
Big Horn.
1t will be remembered that Custer
divided bis forces in order to attack the
Indian camp on two sides, leaving Capt
Benteen (whO was also stationed at Daven-
port at the time referred to above) in the
rear with small reserve. Reno's detach
ment made the FIRST assault; was driven
back end took refuge on the hills, where il
was afterwards joined by Benteen, and
neither took any further part in the fight.
Custer went in and never came out again.
Reno claims in his official report that be
did not know anything about Custer s
engagement until long after it had ended
in the terrible massacre. Sitting Bull says
that the sound Of the firing could be dis.
tincty heard on the hills TO which Reno
retreated, aud that this officer, instead OF
ufaraNV tod hvr G,,f II
warriors, was actually held in check by a
crowd OF squaws aud superannuated
bucks" Similar rumors, from various
sources, were in circulation Immediately
after the battle, and this repetition Of
them, in somewhat more definite shape, is
calculated to rouse suspicious which ought
long ago to have been set at rest by the
military authorities. Did Reno, as Sitting
Bull atiirms, retreat to the hills after only
tritll ng skirmlsh with the enemy? Was
he kept on the hills by force which he
might have overcome? In other words
did he fail to help Custer as he might have
done at the outset, and could he nave gone
to his rescue later in the day2 These arc
questions which demand satisfactory
answer.
Maj. Reno was tried and condemned BY
court-martial last spring for insulting
lady, 1.-THE vile of one Of the officers sta
toned with him over the river, and WHIT
made many friends in Davenport by hei
amiable and lady-like department duriDl

senteuce-sus suspension from rank and pa,
for two years. 1t is to be regretted tina
his behavior at the Little Big Horn couIt
not have been officially investigated beior
the commission of an offence which ha
deprived him Of popular sympathy. A
matters now stand it would be unfair t
accuse hip Of negligence or incapacity
and yet his conduct is not entirely vindi
