Talk About the Cabfnet and the Senate.
The outlook is that there WIN hardly be quorum
OF Senators in attendance at Fridays session Of the
Senate, and for this reason the Cabinet changes
thus far made up are no more nor less than guess
work. By common consent it is believed that New
York will get the Treasury Secretaryship but that
| Judge Foger or Ex-Governor Morgan win be the
dent, and he is not proclaimtng his intentions from
| the house tops. There is universally OF sent-

LATEST GOSSIP.
1t is generally believed this afternoon that the
Cabinet nominations will not be sent to the Senate
before Monday. The universal opinion seems to
6e that Secretary Lincoln and Postmaster General
net who Will not be superseded. Attorney General
MacVeagh, it is understood, could remain until the
sIaf-route .dr prosecutions are concluded, but he
preferred to retire at once, answering the Pres
idents request for him to remain while by saying
that these prosecutions would be thoroughly and
ef1c1ently conducted and under the direction of
Mr. James. Several kilograms have been received
from Io prominent southern republicans, and espe-
clally from Louisiana, protesting against the re-
tention OF Secretary Hunt and recommending
General Longstreet as man who would be much
more acceptable to the republicans of the south.
There Is still an impression among some leading
republicans that ex-senator Conkling will go into
the new Ca bnet, though this feeling Is confined to

THE MID.LOUISIANAR RAILROAD,

We take pleasure in directing the
attention Of our readers to a COM
munication signed Onward, relating
to a proposed enterprise having in
view the construction Of a Railroad
commencing at a point on the Sabine
river, thence through or near Ope-
lousas to Baton Rouge, where the
line would be continued through
Pc nchatoula and Covington to
Bay st. Louis. It will be observed
that the proposed road will give US
connection with the Chicago & st.
Louis, the Northeastern from Meri-
dian, and the Mobile Railroad three
great lines. Thus would Baton
Rouge be linked with the entire rail-
way systems East and West of the
Mississippi. We have assurances
from the writer of the communica-
ton that the enterprise is a serious
one, which will be commenced very
shortly. The immense benefits that
will accrue to Baton Rouge by this
contamination require no description
from our pen. We have been saying
since the CApIToLIAN threw it's ban
ner to the breeze that our lovely city
would soon become one of the most
prosperous in the South; and to sns-
tain our assertions we now point to
the evidences before us: the new
Capitol, the New Orleans Pacific and
before long to the Mid-Louisiana
Railway, announced by our cores
pondent.
Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-08-30

up all rail communication with the
North, East and West by the Jack
son Road and making the shortest
line to New Orleans without $50 far
as the residents of the east bank are
concerned) the river being twice
crossed athwart theline.
1t is within reason to expect that
the entire central section from the
Atchafalaya to Pontchatoula will be
in running order within a year unless
mishaps in the way Of raising funds
are not met with; and we believe that
the originators are men earnest
enough in purpose and character to
meet and grapple with the obstacles
that may be presented.
Aside from the great benefits that
would enure to middle Louisiana and
this city by the completion of the en-
tire line, thus makingthe shortest and
most direct connection between the
Texas system and the eastern gulf
and Atlantic cities, the opening of
the central section connecting the
sugar coast land making Baton Rouge
its chief point) with Chicago, St.
Lonis and Cincinnati, would bring to
our city trade and capital that would
be abiding.
If the completion of the Baton
Rouge Branch of the New Orleans Pa
cifc to this point, means a continu-
ance OF it's line on this side of the riv-
er, the above described enterprise
will not clash with the object in view
of the solid men who control the Tex
as Pacific as the country northeast of
us would most likely be penetrated
by any projection on this side of their
Branch.
We have faith in the benefits of
Railways and we believe that the
more lines concentrated here, the bet
ter for us and we bespeak for the orig
inators of the Mid-Louisiana the
kindly attention and warm support of
our people when the time (which we
believe is near at hand) comes for
the practical 'breaking of ground" in
this welcome enterprise.

THE GOV. ALLEN MONUMENT,

Some Of our exchanges have quick
ly seconded the CAPIToLIAN's sug-
gestion to erect a statue to the pa
triot who after being disabled in de-
fence of his State was called to the
Gubernatorial chair, the grave du-
ties of which he performed with
such unselfsh devotion as to win the
love of the soldiers in the field and
of the non-combatants around whose
family affairs resounded the tread of
hostile battalions. Faithful to the
last, hoping against hope itself, the
Confederate Governor of Louisiana,
whose stout heart made him forget
the death wound received at Baton
Rouge, followed the last detachment
Of our unconquered troopers into
Mexico, where the brave soul which
gave life to his mutilated body took
its fight heavenward to align itself
there with those Of our immortal SOL
diers whom the starry cross of the
South, forever holy, had assembled
to shade with it's blood stained and
battered folds.
Our heart was thrilled with the no.
Hest and proudest emotions when we
saw unveiled in Louisiana the statue
Of the glorious soldier who, in the
Valley of the Shenandoah, rivaled
the dazzling military genius display
ed by Napoleon in his famous Italian
campaign.
And every breast in which beats a
Southern heart will hail with similar
emotions the unveiling of the statue,
at New Orleans, of the matchless
central figure Of the Southern Con-
tederacy, Robert E. Lee.
Does not every Louisianian feel
that the noble martyr--Governor,
Henry Watkins Allen, deserves to be
out of enduring Crock of
Ages" at the Capital of his State, his
home, the bloody field where the
deadly bullet pierced his manly frame?
We doubt not that if there is heard |
through the press a response indicat- |
ing that they will be generously aid
ed by the people of Louisiana. the
Confederate Veterans OF Baton Rouge
will earnestly engage in that under
5aking which ought to receive the aid
Ind encouragement of every man,
woman and child in this common
wealth whose heroes thus far sleep in
heir graves unhonored and unsung.

MURDER WILL OUT.
Eleven Persons Arrested on Suspi.
ciOn.

On last Monday morning, this
Parish was thrown into great excite
ment consequent on the arrest OF
eleven colored persons charged on
suspicion and from information re-
ceived with having murdered a
young man whose name is unknown
but who was a peddler of notions
and ladies articles of wear, and who
made occasional trips through this
parish. The affidavit was made by
DR.. Mojoinnier, the coroner, and the
writs of arrest were executed bv
Joseph l.. Martin, our energetic and
vigilant deputy sheriff.
The young peddler was quite a
pleasant talker, and, although known
only through his business, he made
a good impression on our people.
lie was about twenty four years of
age, yet he looked younger. In
talking to our people he used to say
that his father kept a crockery store
in st. Louis, and that he had a STEP
mother. Some months ago, the last
time he was seen he put up for the
night in Hahnville. A few nights
after, he put up at colored persons
house in Freetown, which is Just
below MIR. Danjean's plantation, and
almost seven miles above Hahnville.
Further than this he cannot be ira
ced.
1t is supposed that he was killed
by number of colored people,
while putting up for the night in
their house, and that his money and
goods were divided among those
present. Subsequently, disputes
arose among the guilty parties, men
and women, on account of some sup
posed unfairness or inequality in the
distribution of the plumber. Muir
murs and complaints growing out
of this matter were frequent and
sometimes loud and some were heard
by neighbors. |
The matter has been under quiet !
investigation for several months by |
Justice Clinton and Deputy Sheriff !
Martin. No person was informed of
their suspicious and proceedings ex-
cept Judge Hahn. The other day, !
the Coroner was led to make the
charge and the deputy Sheriff with
posse of twelve men proceeded to the
place and arrested six women and
ave men. Some OF them 1t is bellev-
ID will turn States witnesses. The
place of burial Of the peddler has not
ret been discovered. A well into
which the body was supposed to
lave been thrown, and which had
'een filed up was opened again last
Wednesday, but it failed to reveal
ny trace of the missing man. Dill
.ent search will be made; and as
he sheriff is in possession Of some of
he trimmings, ETC., belonging to the
eddler, there is no doubt but what
ONE thing definite will be brought
light soon.-St. Charles Herald.
