The Bell Punch Test.

The case Of the State against Frank Oau-
thorn, charged with violating the bel-punch
law, under an indictment found by the
Grand jury, was called Tuesday in the
County court Judge Burke presiding. De-
PENDANT was represented by Crawford C
Smith and Watts IL Cowart, who moved to
quash the indictment, on the grounds of the
unconstitutionality of the pretended act" of
the Sixteenth Legislature, and of minor de-
fects in drawing up the Indictment Colonel
Crawford presented an able argument in be-
half of his client, alleging that the
statute was contrary to the spirit
and the letter of the constitution,
in that it was unequal and
unjust in effect being not an occupation tax
but a burdensome income tax. County
Attorney Seay followed in brief but able
argument, bssing the constitutionslity of the
act upon its plainly just and uniform pro-
visions, in the assessment Of the tax in accord
ance with the amount of business transacted
by different dealers. Messrs. Watts and
Cowart followed in arguments for defend.
ants, when the motion to quash was
submitted to the court. Judge Burke took
the matter under advsement until this morn
ing, when he will decide the knotty point.

NlukbUuIB Asrului rco, ~,
A good doa has been said recently rela.
tive to the speed of various fine and ncet
steamers, tho friends Of each particular boat
claiming that she Is the fastost, Many per-
sons think that the NJ, White Ia the fastest
steamboat that ever noated on the broad
bosom of tho Mississippi river while others
believe tho Natchez faster than tho White,
and Others again believe the Il. L, Lee TO be
faster than either. Tho John w. Cannon,
though comparatively small steamer, has
the admirers, who believe that in short
ran she could lead any boat on the river,
and they refer with pride and satisfaction
TO some of her achievements in tho New
Orleans and Bayou Sara trade. OF the Gin
cinnsti and Now Orleans packets the Gins.
Morgan makes some pretensions 10 speed,
and 30 do some Of the other boats of the big
70" limo There is but one way TO settle the
question Of speed Of the Mississippi river
steamers, and that 10 for grand sweepstake
race, free TO all, with the privilege to every
owner who thinks he has fast boat to enter
tho lists and win heprize if no can. Fly-time
will soon be here, when the boats will have II
little spare time on their hands, and then
if they feel like competing for the horns let
them go in and try, and we will have the most
Interesting and exciting steamboat race In the
annals of marine history, not excepting the
great race between the Lee and Natchsz, in
1870, or the fictitious race between the
Amsranth and the -. We understand
that Capita Lsathers has expressed will
lingness to enter the lists should such race
be made up, and that he is willing to make it
interesting by putting up $4,000
on his boat being the fast
est on the river, the start to be from
the wharf at New Orleans and the windup at
the st. Louis bridge. If this is a banter
from Captain Leathers we shall see whether
it will be accepted or not. Captain Leathers
means business and he is willing to compete,
not with one boat only, but any and all He
wants free race for bobtail nags and all,
and no distinction on account of race, color
or previous condition. Now, gentlemen who
have fast boats, is the time to prove your
faith by your deeds.

TEXAS AND ST, LOUIS RAILROAD,
Progress Of the Marrow duNgO Building From
Terarkana 10 Waco,

Mr.. Q. F, Stephens, Chief Engineer OF tho
Texas u st. Louis Morrow Guago railroad,
arrived in the city yesterday, and furnishes
some valuable information with regard to the
progress the present status and future pros
poets of that important line.
The extreme points Of the road
arc Texarkana and Waco. There
are now built and in operation
SO miles, 81 on the Tyler division, or between
that point and Big Sandy, and 81 between
Texarkana and Mount Pleasant. All This ha.
been quietly built within short time past
There remains gap OF 40 miles between
Mount Pleasant and Big Sandy, which will
be closed up as fast as men and money can
do il.
Preliminary surveys have been
made between Tyler and Corsioana
and the company arc confident Of running
their trains to Coslcana by tho first day Of
next January.
From thence II will strike to Waco by the
most direct route, which II is believed will
DO reached between eighteen months and two
years,
The whole road passes through splendid
country for the mostpart without any proper
transportation facilities and will be Of
inoalculable benefit to every citizen and
owner of land along its long line. The
people everywhere directly interested are on
thusiastic over the prospects, and If they will
subscribe the right Of way and such pecu-
mary aid as they are able to, they will have
good road In short time.
MIR. Stephens is an accomplished and ex-
perienced engineer and has done his work
thoroughly and well, and will prosecute it to
successful termination with the most extra
ordinary energy.

The profane Springfield Republican, OBJ
serving that the Grant men who were promi-

on the ground that the corruption of his
eight years was due, not to him, but to the
bad men about him, is reminded of the

himselfa bad odor, of which a customer
complained in coat he was examining
