Our Railroads.

Messrs. Whitney s. Co., owners
and directors of the Morgan Rail
road, have awarded to Messre. Rog-
ers and Ballentine the contract for
building said road from Opelousas
to Alexandria. This firm is an ex-
perienced and reliable one, and as
they have undertaken to build the
road to this point, there is no doubt
they will carry it through. They are
provided with all the improved i'm
plements for grading and excavating,
and as the country over which this
road passes presents no obstacles to
to the rapid completion of the work,
they will doubtless reach here within
the time named.
The terms Of the contract are that
the road shall be built and ready fol-
operation from its present terminus,
Opelousas, to- Washington station,
in St. Landry Parish, by October
18th of this year, from Washington
to Holmesville by January, 1881,
and completed to Alexandria by
next April.
A party of engineers, sent out by
the New Orleans Pacific Railway
Company, passed up on the Jewel
destined for Shreveport. They will
locate the road from Shreveport to a
point near Mansfield.
The work of construction on this
line will certainly begin very shortly
the bids for said work were closed
on the Goth inst.

OUR TOWN CHARTER.

The suggestion has several times
been made by some of our best cti
zens, that tie Charter Of our Town
should be revised and amended.
The present Charter was established
by the Legislature of 1868, aid is
defective and unsatisfactory In many
particulars. BY an act of the last
Legislature any municipal corpora
tion, Except New Orleans can make
changes in its Charter or adopt a
new one if necessary by pursuing
certain formalitics prescribed by the
law. The present Charter of Alex
andria does not fix the number OF
Councilmen as it. should have done.
The penalties provided by 1t for IN
fractions of Town Ordinances and
for disturbers of the peace are not
sufficiently stringent to have whole
some effect. The Charter should au-
thorize the Mayor To sentence peace
breakers to labor on the streets in
default of payment of fines. Our
Town has been so often made the
Rendezvous of rowdies, AMI the regu-
lation fine of S. and cost or twenty
four hours in the Lookup has be
come SO Intellectual in preserving
peace and order, that evil doors have
learned to laugh at the punishment.
The minimum Of fine provided in
the Charter is inadequate to inspire
even respect for The law.
A careful examination of the pre-
sent Charter will disclose many de
fects that could easily he remedied
under the Act of the Legislature OF
1880 Tie SUBJECT is one Of impor-
lance and we invite the attention OF
our townsmen to the matter to the
end that a public meeting be called
at an early day, and committee on
revision be selected.
The amendments could be adopted
at the November election with but
little expense, if any, to the Town
We will notice this subject again, as
We think many changes for the bet
ter can easily be made in the present

THE CENSUS OF 1880.
THE souTH UNDER A NEW APPORTIoN
MENT.-INCREAsE IN REP
RESERVATION.

The census returns reveal the sig
niticant fact that the political power
of the North is waning, and that the
South is making rapid strides in tue
acquisition of population and OF
corresponding influence in all mat
tiers of national concern. But a few
months ago the Northern press
sought to gather comfort and conso-
lation in the belief that under new
apportionmeut, based on the census
of 1880, the power of the South
would be materially weakened, and
the ascendancy Of the Democratic
party in Congress and the Electoral
College efIectually broken. In this
they have been sadly disappointed.
Incapable of realizing or of reconcil
ing themselves to the changes which
mad been wrought in this section of
the Union during the past few years,
and of comprehending the causes
which have operated to bring about
a condition of things which, from
envy and bitter sectional feelings, it
is not prepared to admit, it has re-
course TO the old and oft-repeated
charges of frauds. 1t is not our
present purpose to do more than note
the facts, leaving to the political
philosopher the privilege of search
ing out the real causes. The basis
of representation, it is assumed, will
be one member of Congress for each
100000, or thereabout, of population.
Upon this basis, which is about 80,
900 more for each member than was
allowed under the apportionmeDt OF
1870, will cause gain at the South
of eleven members against six at the
North; leaving a net gain of five
members for the South. In several
Northern end some Southern States
there will be diminished represen
tation; this being the case ever
lin Nav YGrt, TnnjSinna Snnw, ~
increase Of about twenty three
per cent, but, notwithstanding this
high rate, will only retain her siz
members. Texas increases from 81,
to eleven. The most notable chan

The tide Of immigration has Sc
Southwark and another decade will
exhibit very great changes. The fu
ture is full of promise, and there i
no doubt that the South, for man,
years to come, will continue to i'm

to find the real causes; in the Yves
lands are neither so good nor so plen
, tiful as at the South; the climate
