his war on the President. Thus
has the Republican party been
ripped asunder from Maine to
Florida within the short space
of the first quarter of Garfeld's
administration. That quarter
has been fraught with mighty
events. The bargain with the
scape-goat from Virginia, the
prolonged deadlock in the Sen
ate, and the final flight of the
New York Senators from the
CAPITAL, all inspire one with the
inevitable conviction that the
Republican party is in an unset
tied and an unenviable eondi-
ton. If Garfield is as success
fol during the remainder Of his
term IN dlsorganlzlng and an
tagonizing the chiefs of his
party as be has been for the last
three months, good, large hole
will be made in its ranks through
which the Democrats might
crawl into the White House in
1884, and be happy once more.
Let the Republicans continue
to fight, and let the idle and
amused Democrats hiss and
"slck" EN- on. It's fine fun.

Letter From President WheelOck.

Through the courtesy of Capt
W. T. Hall, We are permitted to
publish the following admirable
letter, written him by Mr.. E. b
Wheelock, President of the New
Orleans Pacific Railroad Com
pany. At this junctpre of rail-
road excitement in Jour parish,
We think the letter Will be read
with that interest which will in
spire the belief that the COM
pany's engineering corps will de-
termine upon route via Bas-
.rop as the most practicable,
expeditions, and profitable. The
letter, to say the least of it, holds
out some palatable bait at which
We can mentally suck during the

W. T. HALL, ESQ, Bastrop, La:
Dear SRI have the pleasure to
acknowledge the receipt of the me-
mortal of your public-spirited citi-
zens regarding the route Ct the rail-
road to be constructed from Alex
andria north, to connect with the
Iron Mountain. In reply have to
say that a surveying party is now
in the field in charge of our En-
gineer, Capt. Closer, who will
doubtless be in your immediate vi
cinity within short time. Capt.
Gloster will carefully examine into
the matter as you request, and the
report he may make will largely
determine the policy of this com
pany. All things will be duly con-
sidered before determining the ex-
act line, due regard being given to
a short, direct line. Among the
salient points | would mehtion-the
route which will yield the greatest
amount of local business and ac-
commodate the greatest scope of
country. Capt. Gloster is accom-
panied by a gentleman, Mr. Car
row, who is duly accredited to re-
ceive all rights of way and dona-
tons of land for depot purposes,
ETC., from the land owners on the
lines to be surveyed.
1 am gratifed at the interest your
good people take in this line, and
if all the encouragement your petit
ton conveys is shared by other
residents on the line, / think the
prospects for a road in time to
bring your crops to market by the
early fall of 1882 may be assured.
l omitted to mention that your
memorial was handed me by John
Phelps, Esq, of this city, and IA
vorably endorsed by him.
Very Respectfully,
E. B. WHEELocK,
President.

Sometimes a little assistance
at the right time will enable the

which might otherwise result in
serious sickness. Ayers Pills
should always be kept at hand,

but it did have one superb O. ar

was directed to one Of its fitted
flashes of absurd assertions
The C-P. man opened his mouth,

to show how he perverted

never used such broken English
as he quotes us IS using since
we were a d9zen years old) we
will submit his gibberish, and
then reproduce the salient points
of our editorial to which he re-
fers, and which was pabsshed
in our columns on the 18th of
last January. Listen
"Last Winter when we advo-
Gated the establishment and Or
namentation of the Court House
square the Clarion became per-
fecsly saucer-eyed with indignant
establishment. WHAT said this
jewel ef Consistency-or words
to this effect-"use the Peoples
money tor the mere purpose OF
pleasing the silly sentimentality
OF women and effeminate men.
Hoop-la! Watch out everybody!
The CottolkP Plant is trying to fix
up some 3 to. get away with
the People5 money! Poor Peo-
pie! The Cotton Plant is going
to inlict another tax on the poor
People p And, again, wheL We
said that an appropriation had
been made by the Police Jury
Jury for the purpose of fixing
up the Court House square, the
Clarion organized itself into
personifcation OF Incredibly.
"Never heard OF this appropria-
ton in our life !" said this Guar
dian of the People. tits only
a ruse on the part of the Cotton
Plant to get away with the peo-
pie, some way or other. Watch
out everybody! Put yoar hand
on your pocket book, Smith !
keep hold of your money, Brown!
Lock your safe, Jones!" Abash.
cd like the little acorn, we hid
our head. But now, having for
gotten ali this, We presume, the
Clarion makes the Identical sug-
gestion that. We made last Win
ter"
Now We quote verbatim from
our article published last Janu-
ary and, if any one can detect in
it a particle Of Inconsistency |
with what We said two weeks |
ago about the improvement of
The public square, then We have |
Jailed to find the proper defni- |
ion of the word
Last week our neighbor, the
C-P., got off the following point
ID and pertinent question: |
why, oh ! why! don't some
,ody make a determined move
20 have our court house square
aid out in walks, and planted in |
lowers, and have the walks
