Orange AtenIs.
[From the Orange Tribune


Our lumber and single mannfac-
turers are now and have been for some
time sore y feeling the need of adequate
transportation facilities. This, to the
outside world, may appear strange in
view of our boosted advantages in this
respect; but the truth is, the eleven
large mills at Orange, with nearly an
equal number at each Of our neighbor-
ing cities, Beaumont and Lake Charles,
are immense in their capabilities, and
the demand for lumber and shingles.
especially the former, was never so ire
mendous as now-every mill is choked
with orders. The Texas d New Or
leans railroad is hauling from these
mills an average Of more than 40 car
loads per day, and running to Orange
and Lake Charles are between thirty
and forty sclooners. These vessels are
putting in their best licks, and vet the
combined efforts of the railroads and
schooners does not at present meet the
demands of our manufacturers. Surely
1t Is not unsafe to say the timber re-
gions are enjoyinga "mighty BOOM"
and our section is on the high road of
prosperity.
1t is with much regret we record this
week the death of Mr., Eb. Swinford,
which sad event took place at Boerne,
Kendall county, last Tuesday evening,
September 26th, 1880. Mr.. Eb. Swim
ford was for years a citizenof Orange,
and had long been engaged in the manu-
facture of lumber on the Sabine river,
as a member of the firm of Moore d.
Swinford. He died of consumption,
with which he had been for some time
q sufferer; and his absence from home
at the time was in the hope of arestora-
,tionto health. He leaves wife and
two sweet little girls, two brothers, two
sisters, and many other relatives and
friends to mourn his loss.
The college opened with a good at
tendance Monday, and we shall be dis
appointed if the session closes with
less than $50 pupils.

Ep1roR EoHo-The barbecue given
by the citizens of Grand Cheniere and
Little Cheniere on the first of October
was grand success. A larger, more
intelligent looking crowd never graced
our parish, and nearly every section
was represented. There was plenty
that was nice both to eat and drink, for
the vast assembly present. All who
participated in the preparation of the
barbecue deserve credit; but MIR. John
Sweeney, chairman of the committee
of arrangements, and Mr.. Velior The
riot, deserve special praise for the I'M
firing efforts put forth in preparing the
excellent dinner, so much enjoyed by
all. Speeches were made by Capt.
WEIGH, Col. Gillespie, j. i. Suttles. A.
j. Kearney, L. ID. Miller and j. H.
Mccall, Esqrs. Capt. Sturlese ad-
dressed the Creoles in French. There
was ball at night at which all the
young folks enjoyed themselves. Moth
ing ever passed off more pleasantly,
and every one expressed himself per-
fectly delighted with the enjoyment of
the occasion. Thanks are returned to
Capt Sturlese aud lady for the many
kindnesses shown the assembly at their
house on that occasion.
The new school board met 4th inst,
and organized. There was good
deal of business demanding their at
Iention, which they dispatched with
rapidity. Cameron may now have pub
ic schools. Yours, c. b.

i 1t appears that the chairman of tn
Democratic Campaign Committee i
i Washington has attempted to fran
through the mails, as campaign litera
ture, some speeches made by ex-oon
gressnen and ex-senators who are no
entitled to franking privileges. If j
were not a mistake, as he claims, 4
would be a crime for him to do so, but
when we remember that the republic
ans are doing the same thing on mucl
larger scale; when we know that they
are defrauding the government by re
,quiring campaign work and campaign
money of Government employees; wher
we know that there are now only two
cabinet officers at their posts, and that
the public service is most grossly ne.
elected through absenteeism in all its
branches on ,electioneering service, the
noise that has been made over three
packages of democratic mail matter by
the fraudulent minions of fraudulent
administration is more ridiculous than
burlesque fury.
Since the results of the Maine cleo
ton have become definitely known re-
publicans here seem to have collapsed
in the apathy of despair, realizing that
the four years that they have eaten the
dishonest bread of fraud are nearly
ended, and that the great majority that
elected Iilden wilnow sternly demand
a vacation, under the management of
Hancock, of oil their stolen places.
Then ] think we may hope for civil
service reform, for no matter how great
may be the rapacity for place and Office
among the democrats, it will be impos-
sibe for them, lacking as they are in
experience, to till the departments with
as many useless, incompetent supernu-
merafies as have held place and drawn
pay since the war. If the people of
this country could only know the i'm
mensc sums they are paving to thou
sands of elegant loafers, who do not
work thirty minutes per day, civil SER
vice reform would be forced into prom
inence over all other issues If, when
the democrats come in, they shall show
the same ingenuity as republicans have
shown in making useless offices and
bureaus, appointing incompetent men
to fill them, and then appointing stats
of incompetent assistants, niafe and fe-
male, to help the chiefs do nothing, /
shall join the opposition.
The republican organ of this city
sounds note of alarm this morning,

written editorial. 1T comedies
that there is danger of the State going
against them in October. and gives
reasons for the fear in long quotations
from the Dayton journal, one of the
ablest of the republican journals.
With warning from Maine, with the
nalf-hearted support Of Conkling, with
discussions intheir own ranks, and NAL
by Jewell, the republican
cause has never appeared gloomier.

GALVESTON AND CALoAsIEU.-The
Galveston News of the Both ultimo
contains an interesting account of an
interview between one of its reporters
and Al. Perkins, Esq, ofLake Charles
on the subject of the Calcasieu lumber
trade, and the mercantile interests Of
'Calcasieu and Galveston. Mr.. Perkins
spoke of the magnitude of the lumber
business, the inadequacy of existing
transportation facilities via the Gulf of
Mexico, the expenses of transportation
by rail, the Importance to Galveston of
its continuing to control the lumber
and mercantile business of Calcasieu,
and the necessity, in order to retain
that control, of building new and large
schooners, of light draught, capable of
carrying from 100000 to l25,ooO #.
of lumber per trip. We are gratifed
TO learn from Mr.. Perkins that the Gal
weston merchants are realizing the i'm
portance of their making some exertion
to promote their interests in this mat
ter, andthat, with their assistance, three
or four large schooners will probably
soon be built at Lake Charles for the
Calcasieu and Galveston lumber trade.
Such an enterprise will greatly benefit
Lake Charles, Calcasieu parish and Gal
weston, and Mr.. Perkins will justly be
entitled to great credit for his agency in
this important movement in behalf of
our industrial and mercantile interests

SABBATH EssAYs.-In view of the
conflict between the friends of what
are popularity called Sunday laws,''
and those who favor the introduction
in America of what is called 'the
European Sabbath" the latter being a
Ego as yon please" Sunday, it is re-
markable how little the great majority
of even intelligent men know about
the reasons for the institution of the
Sabbath and the arguments for its
observance.
We have examined with mu ch in
terest a new work called Sabbath Es-
says, published by the Congregational
Publishing Society, Boston, Mass. 1T
is a neat looking volume of over 400
pages, consisting of nearly forty
papers and addresses, presented in
October last at the Massachusetts,
Sabbath conventions at Boston and
Springfield. The authors are among
the most distinguished of American
divines and laymen, and the subject is
from every possible point of
view, scriptural, historical, civil, social
and legal. The book is intensely in
teresting and highly instructive. Price,
so.
