bridge was finished last Tuesday. Track
will be laid across it next Tuesday, and
the same day the first locomotive will

~FAcuIs DpcExsus AvERN1.p-The

"FAcILrs DEcENsus AvERSI. The
late political decisions of the supreme
court of the United States, and es-
pecially those that congress has an alb
solute right to regulate and control
congressional elections in the states, are
among the most startling and melan-
choly proofs that the republican party
has determined to cnt the ship of state
loose from the anchor of the constitu-
ton, that she may drift and break to
pieces on the rocks of anarchy and
despotism.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has always been regarded, as it
was intended it should be, as the last
hope of constitutional liberty, and
in all its history, until very recently, it
justified that opinion. To-day its re-
publican judges are not ashamed to
sanction theories of government and of
constitutional law which thirty years
ago would have been universally de-
nounced as reasonable. II has been
publicly charged, and we have never
heard it denied, that the present court
was organized for political purposes,
and its late decisions, and the quasi
judicial decision of those of its rcpub-
lican members who sat on the eight to
seven electoral commission which first
sanctifed fraud in American history,
certainly could not 60 farther to justify
that charge. The republic is dying
and its Supreme Court heralds the
empire.

OLD LAND Marks REaovED.-With-
in the last few weeks the following
named old and highly respected set
tiers of Calcasieu parish have been
called away by death. They came
here when Calcasieu was an almost I'M
broken wilderness, and by simple hon
esty and industry became the pioneers
of a large population, whose law abid-
ing instincts aud respect for morality
and religion are due in a very great
measure to the examples and precepts
of those old settlers whose death we
now chronicle.
Jack Aston, as he WAS Familiarity
called by everybody, died on the 4th
inst, at bis residence on Beckwortl's
Creek, aged nearly so years.
Solomon Simmons, aged about so
years, died last month at Sugar Town.
Mrs. --- Lee, aged about rs years,
died about two months ago.
Mrs. Sally lies, widow of the late
Demcy Hes, ST., died on the LIST ult.,
at the residence of her sou, 7. J. Hes,
aged "a years.

Washington special says The Score.
tary OF State. il is said. has been giving
considerable attention Of late to the sub
ject Of obtaining such . modification Of
our treaty OF 1916 with New Grenada o.
the project Of N. DsLesssps for q canal
across the Isthmus seems to make neoes-
ssry. There is reason to believe that
formal notice has been given Of Q desire
on the part OF the United States to re-
form the treaty. o more especially the
Thirty.fifth Article. which gives the
United States the right Of transit and In
which the United States guarantees the
neutrality OF the Isthmus. As yet IL has
not been decided whether to propose q
supplementary treaty containing the do.
sired notifications or to attempt the
negotiation OF a new treaty throughout.
At present the State Department is on.
gagged IN examining the whole subject 80
a. to determine exactly what modiAca-
tons are deemed to be necessary under
the present circumstances.
