THE TAP RAILROAD.
The FIRST Step Forward.
Unanimous, Save One!

Last Tuesday. in accordance with
4 resolution passed by the City Coun.
ell the taxpayers Of the city OF
Natchitoches, polled their votes OF
the question Of the expediency OF
levying q special tax to and in the
construction Of Railway from this
place to Prudhomme's station on the
line OF the N. O. l. T. p. r. r., said
tax to be five mills on the dollar, and
to continue in force for Period OF
ten years, commencing with the ye' +
1881.
Considerable interest was mani.
tested In this election by the friends
OF this measure, and q majority OF
the property holders visited the polls
during the day. Some Ill votes were
cast-of which only one was against
the tax. Hence there is q unani'
nous desire on the part OF the cttt'
zens that this enterprise should De
carried into effect. OF course there
Is a diversity OF opinion 40 to Wheth'
or the results would prove more ben
eficial to this city than II the n. ..
Il T. P. r. r. should pass through
here. This question We do not pro
pose to discuss at present. One fact
ia assured-the citizens are In favor
Of the Tap Railroad, and II the Texas
Pacific Company accept the decision
as rendered at the ballot box this
week, We too shall be 10 rapid com
municatiou With the outer world.
This awakening to the exige1cies o.
the times is q gratifying result. and
1t is to be hoped, is only the torerun
ner of better things to come.

The indeiatigable Chief Of Police,
VIM. Baker. arrested three colored
men, for cutting timber on Bayou
Amulet and one citizen for the same
offense on the river bank In front Of
his residence, on the l4th, but re.
leased the parties after warning
them that he would have them pun.
lshed to the full extent Of the Law
for 3 repetition OF the act. No citizen
has any right to cut down any tree

rainy aui disagreeable, crowded

Their performances consist Of aero.

perform what they advertise. The
members OF the troupe are col tainly
an exception In their department az
they are always corteous, affable and
polite. They have won golden opin'
ion from all who have patronized
them and most assuredly deserve the
encomiums Of the press wherever
they have performed. We cordial,
join in their general recommends

This action OF the Police Jury is

but has been repeatedly condemned
by Grand Juries for several terms Of

Tha ext Court.

The November term Of the Court OF
Oyer and Terminer and General Ses
sions will begin on Monday next, and

lengthy. There will be three capital
cases before the Court, the most import
ant being that of William Neal, the
colored man who was once tried, found
guilty and sentenced 10 be hung for
the crime OF rape on married white
woman living near Smyrna. His case
was brought by his counsel, Anthony
Higgins, Esq before the United States
Court and the judgment of the lower
court reversed on the ground of discrim-
inatlon in not allowing colored jurors
on the Jury. The case was ordered
back and owing TO the press Of busi ess
at the last term was continued until
this.
The next case is that Of Morris Car.
berry, who, while employed ~ watch
man NJ the Old Ferry Rolling Mill,
shot and killed a colored man named
Samuel Adams, an employee of the
Company. The case was tried at the

asst term Of Court, shot and killed a
man near Hockessip, will also be put
on trial at this term for his life
The prisoners all express them
selves as being confident of favorable
verdicts. 1t is not yet known whether
the case Of Hayden, charged with the
killing Of William Shields on last SUI
