RAILROAD NoTEs.-Track- laying on
the New Orleans Pacific railroad from
Dopaldsonville to Plaquemine will be
completed aud ready for the reception
of passenger coaches about the twenti-
eth of June, and through trains for
passenger traffic will be running be-
tween Gretna and Port Allen, West
Baton Rouge Parish, opposite the City
Of Baton Rouge, early in August with
out fail.
Track is laid on tho N. Q. Pacific
Railway from bayou Goula five miles
north of White Castle--that is to say,
to within five miles of Plaqucmine,
which will be reached in few days,
as the force is daily being increased.
Track is also laid seven or eight miles
south OF Alexandria, and another con-
struotion party is about to put down
the rails from Alexandria north. BY
the middle of next week the track will
be. in running order for a distance of
twenty miles this side of Shreveport.
All along the line immense activity is
being displayed, aud from three to four
miles of track will be laid each day
from this time on.
One of our esteemed contemporaries
states that Capt. Gloster's surveying
party on the Gould road from Alexan-
dria to Jacksonport commenced opera
lions at the upper falls above the town
of Alexandria. This is the best point
to be found anywhere on Red River to
bridge that stream, for the reason that
solid rock foundation can be found
for the piers. The flowing of the wa
ter over this ledge causes, in low wa
ter, the "rapids," from which the Par
ish-Rapides-takes it's name. From
the falls the ascent to the old Seminary
grounds is by an easy grade, and ridges
can be found all along the line so as to
avoid the filling of the rnvines of the
hilly pine country. We have traversed
most of this ground. either as candi-

NONOPOLiES.

When the late Constitutional Con-
vention assembled, it was thought
that there would be a complete an
Inhalation of all monopolies in this
State. But it now appears that the
Convention retained the exclusive
privilege already given BY the Leg.
is!ature to Railroad companies. Un'
der peculiarly worded charter the
Morgan line of Railroad cannot It
seems, be extended beyond Lecomte,
in this Parish, and there it must
connect with the New Orleans Paci.
&c. The people of Rapides, and
Alexandria particularly, desire the
completion of the Morgan Road, as
that is regarded as local organiza-
ton, and with its terminus at this
place, will be of more service in bull
ding up our city than the New Or
leans Pacific.
We favor all Railroad enterprises,
and think it our duty to aid and as
sist as far as we can, every projected
line connecting with our city. The
property holders have been extreme.
" liberal to the New Orleans Pacific
in granting the right of way, giving
one hundred and fifty feet through
plantations, greatly to the damage OF
the value Of property. When doing
this act of liberality, little did they
dream that they were building up a
monopoly that now threatens to pre-
vent the construction Of the Morgan
line to this place, otherwise they
would not have been so liberal. We
have had enough of monopolies in
Louisiana, and it is not beyond the
power of the Legislature that grant.
ed the exclusive right to the New
Orleans Pacific to build it's road
from New Orleans to Alexandria, to
repeal the same.
From an authoritative source we
hear that the Morgan line will be
pushed through to this point. W.
hope there is no doubt on this ques
ton. There are many ways in which
the N. 0. Pacific can be flanked, and
with the legal talent that is at com
mand, backed by Judiciary that
are inimical to monoplies, and yith
the known pluck and energy of c. A
Whitney & Co., we are not prepared
to see failure on their part. While
every one is interested in the early
completion of the N. O. Pacific, i
cannot be denied that, very recently
the sympathy of the people is witt
Morgan's line, because they are op
posed to monopolies, and because
Alexandria is deeply interested il
having that line constructed tina
will have its terminus here.

TO THE CITIZENS OF ALEXANDRIA

We are persuaded that the growth
of general intelligence and education
will relieve US from any lengthy ar
sument in favor of the great and
leading laws of health aud hygiene.
These have long since been estab-
lished upon statistical basis, con-
frming the fact that individuals or
communities can, by proper means
and methods, ward of and escape
disease. We therefore suggest that
it is the duty of every citizen to
willingly cooperate with the SAM.
,ary Commission, in any effort they
may make, to accomplish a thor
ough sanitation of the City.
The first and most important duty
devolves upon the City Council,
which is the establishing a system
of thorough drainage; the bitches
should be dug with uniformity OF
fall, permitting all the water to flow
out so that no stagnant pools will be
left along their course; the leading
canals should be extended to such
distance beyond the corporate limits
as will insure rapid current to wash
and cleanse them. Medical history
teaches Us that cities have been in a
measure, freed from palludal disease,
by good drainage. We therefore
would Impress the Council with the
Importance of their duty.
The Commission requires a clean
sing of all occupied premises; nc
vegetable or animal refuse should be
left to decompose; out houses ane
closets must be cleaned out ant
lined and We request that the river
bank shall not be made deposition
for garbage.
Any one neglecting or failing t.
comply with these regulations in
vites inspection of their premises
by the Commission.
| Any nuisance reported to the Com
mission will be removed at the ex
pense of the offending party. In on
efforts to effect a thorough santa
ton, we cordially invite the cooper
alton of all citizens. ....

THE EPSON Derby has been run
yearly since and including 1860. In
1855 the Derby was won by a French

ARCHBISHOP PERCHE'S CLAIM.
1T rs REJECTED BY THE FRENCH CLAIMS
COMMISSION ON A TECHNICALI-
TY, BUT ITS JUSTICE
ADMITTED.

WASHINGTON, May Sl.-An important
was rendered by the French
American Claims Commission to-day
in the case of Joseph Napoleon Perche,
Arch bishop of New Orleans, against
the United States. The memorial OF
the claimant sets forth that in the year
1862, at which time he was French
subject residing in New Orleans, the
military forces of the United States,
under command Of Gen. Benjamin F.
Butler, occupied that city, seized and
demolished property belonging to him
to the amount Of $3, 600, and subjected
him to arrest and imprisonment. For
these injuries he claims that he is emit
tied to damages in the sum of $4,000,
with interest. The United States
maintained that the Archbishop is not
entitled to recover at all as French
subject under the present treaty, for
the reason that he is now and has been
since 1870, q naturalized American cit
izen. The following is the decision:
As Archbishop Perche, in his memo
rial, states that he was naturalized in
the United States in 1870, he does not
claim to be French citizen. Without
deciding upon any other cases which
may be analogous to this, we think
that the claim of Monsigpeur Perche
must be rejected because it does not
come within the terms of the treaty,
which only provided for claims Of
French citizens. While making this
decision We deem it proper for Us to
express our regret that We cannot take
Jurisdiction Of the case, which seems
upon its face to be so equitable.

poles have been put up for more than
ten miles in this direction, and the
work will keep progress with the
