A railroad meeting was held in
the court house last Wednesday
evening, when Mr.. Washburn,
the canvasser for subscriptions
to the enterprise, gave an &C
count of his efforts, and the sue
cess which they had met. While
he has not been as successful as
he bad anticipated, he is still
very sanguine and firmly believes
that the road can and will be
built. We were sorry to learn
from him that the people OF
Monroe are so unconcerned IN
the matter, but as Mr.. Washburn
says, if they do not''want Bastrop
linked to their city, the best
thing for Morehouse is for her
people to 60 to work at once and
construct q road directly from
this point to Gordon's Station
on the v, S. & P. R. r. Such
a line will pass directly through
Gum Swamp and within FIVE
miles of Oak Ridge, a section of
country unsurpassed for fertility.

to the parish of Morehouse than
one. running directly to Monroe

Our Choice For Congress,
+, FLOYD KING,
The Convention Last Saturday.

In obedience to a call OF the
Chairman OF the Executive Com
mittee, the voters OF the 4th
Ward met in convention at the
court house last Saturday. The
object OF the convention was to
select delegates to represent this
Ward in the parish conventions
which meets here tomorrow.
The convention tomorrow Will
elect delegates from this parish
to the Monroe convention Which
will assemble in that city on the
18th OF August to nominate
candidate for Congress from this
district. Gen. King and Co.
Richardson are the only an
nounced aspirants to the posi-
ton.
In our Ward convention last
Saturday, King and Richardson
each had his warm friends and
supporters, who were determined
to make desperate struggle to
secure a delegation favorable to
their respective choice for Con-
gress. Immediately after the
convention was called to order,
MIR. H. FL. Naf offered a resolu-
ton prohibiting any and every
voter from voting in that con-
yention who was not a legal
voter. The resolution was unan-
imously adopted. Instantly al
ter its adoption it was discovered
that such resolution allowed
Republicans, as we'll as Demo
Gratis, to participate in the de-
alterations of that Democratic
convention. Whereupon mo.
ton was made to reconsider the
vote by which the Naff resolu
ton was adopted. The motion
was lost. An amendment was
then offered to the resolution
giving the right to vote to all le
gal suffragans who would pledg'
themselves to support the noml
nees of the Cincinnati and Mon
roe conventions. To this amend
ment the King faction stubborn
ly objected. It was discusses
by both King and Riehardso
adherents with more enthusiast
than logic. At this stage of tn
proceedings considerable ill-fee
ings were displayed. The Chat
was called upon to decide how
could be ascertained who Wer
true Democrats. The decisio
- Was, that no person who ha
mot, at some previous election
voted a Democratic ticke
should be entitled to voice
that convention. The Richard
son faction disregarded the ru
ing Of the Chair by electing al
Other chairman. Then came til
crisis. Kings friends saw ths
there was not the shadow of
chance for him when men wh
have always been, and who al
now, and who say that they en-,
expect TO be Republicans wei
privileged to vote in a Dem
cratic convention. Those frient
withdrew from the conventio
They acted upon the broad ar
fundamental principle SO rich
and wisely guaranteed to eve
American citizen, that a goo
run is better than a bad stand
