W. NJ. Washburn, Esq, comes
to the front again this week In
the C P. on railroad literature.
He urges the early call OF TAIL
road meeting, the adoption of 8
series of resolutions and the
declaration of our anxiety for
railroad communication, ETC., etc.
His plans are very pretty and,
when expressed by his facile
pen. afford very rich, racy
reading; but all that wss done
lest summer, Captain. A railroad
meeting 10 the Bastrop Court
House will have about as much
influence on Jay Gould & Co., as
a glass of water would on a
ducks back. It is not at all
supposable that Jay Gould's
railroad projectors are ignorant
of the advantages road would
derive from the vast products Of
the Bartholomew valley, and it
THEN knowledge of these pro-
ductiye lands does not dictate to
them the propriety and feast
bility of of building the road on
this side of the Ouachita river,

cent tar-will bring Gould's road
through our town. Thens,sour
duty is to build a road ourselves
from here to Monroe. We can
do it.

CONKLING FALLS -!

Last Monday Senators Conkllng
and Platt, of New York, sent in
their designations to the Vice Presl-
dent. They have taken this step
for pure cussed meanness. Conk-
ling has found that Garfield cannot
be whipped into ignominious sub
mission, and in a rage of naughty
spite, he throws off his toga and
orders Platt to follow his example.
Hurrah for the President, say
we The American people will
endorse his iron nerve and approve
his determination to be President.

must and does come from other
sections of country. A railroad
therefore passing from AIexan-
dria to the Arkansas line West
of the Ouachita river would not
materially affect the interests of
our to- as regards our present
surroundings. The great disad-
vantage that would befall lis
would be the improbability of a
roads ever passing through our
parish. A road on the other
side of the river would blast the
paying prospects of one on this
side; unless, indeed. this town
and parish would unite aud build
a road from here to the city OF
Monroe. That ia exactly what
We should do. It can be built,
too. without digging twenty-five
cents out OF every dollar 10 the
parish. We do not believe, how.
eyer. that the contemplated road
will take the direction which
frightened our good bachelor
neighbor so horribly. Men VINO
build railroads are always on the
alert, and the new company. at
whose head stands the greatest
fnancier on the continent, will
at a glance see that a railroad
through this parish will be in
fnitely moro valuable than one
through the poor hills west Of
the Ouachita river.
We want a railroad, and we
want it badly, but we can never
reconcile ourseli to suffer this
great journal to be taxed "t,oenty-
fue per- cent" as an Involvement"
to Mr.. Gould to build one.
The C-P., in its mammoth
Extra" proposes to stick to
the people as long as they've got
a cent;" and no wonder, when it
wants them to shell out 80 much
tax. 1t would not be forced "to
stick to the people long" Keep
cool, G. C.

Senator Conkling and the new
administration are at outs. The
peacock Senator has been spoiled
by such todyism as Hays in
dulged toward him during his
reign, and he takes it very hard
now that Garfield refuses to sub
NIT to his lictations. Garfield
is firm and resolute. He has
boldly declared his purpose to
be the ''architect of his own for.
tune," and. as the people have
lifted him to the Presidency, he
is bound to be President. IN
like Hayes, he has head of his
own, and like Collins sheep, he
proposes to use that head. He
therefore insists upon the con.
frmation OF Gen. Robertson,
whom the imperial Conkting
hates with a venom that borders
on insanity. Conkliug swears
eternal vengeance against the
whole Garfield tea party unless
the President withdraws the
name OF Robertson as Collector
for the Port of New York. Gar

AN EXCITED EDITOR.

Ons night last week the poet
editor of the C-P. became ex-
cited about railroad, jumped
up, donned his hahiliments, seiz-
ed his pen, and dashed off
morning "Ex tra,' which con-
tanned an PARTICLE pregnant with
startling (?) facts and novel sug:
gestions. We have read and re-
read; in fact, We have studied the
import of that editorial with all
Of the intensity of our iDpulsive
nature. We have viewed it in
all of its bearings and have
decided that the editor was bad
~ excited, to say the least of it.
Here is one of the grand PEN
strokes OF the aforesaid editor j:
"But should the company
manifest intentions to keep on a
direct line from Monroe to Pine
Bluff, it would be the duty-it
would be the necessity-of Bas-
trop to offer big inducements to
bring the road through this
place. Il would pay the people
to submit to a tax Of 25 per cent.
on their property, to be offered
in the shape of an inducement !;
for should the road miss Bastrop
by a few miles it would be its
death-stroke."
The above dropped from the
editors pen at night, and it is
presumable that he had eaten q
heavy supper and that his mind
was disordered-excited, as it
were. We admire the earnest
ness of his anxiety for this towns
welfare; We like the patriotic
spirit that actuated him to ap-
pear iu an extra" on q Friday
morning; We sympathize with
him 10 his nocturnal toll in Or
der to tell the people of Bastrop
what they all knew three days
before, but we must vigorously
protest against that taoe,sty;1ive
per- cent. business. There is too
much Involvement" in that sug-
gestion. Itlooks like the editor
vented to Get too near the bottom
of the peoples pocket. We have
too much respect for his ari tn
metical knowledge to attribute
the preposterous enormity of
such a taxation to ignorance, and
We shall contend that be was
awfully excited-had nightmare,
doubtless. @
But he says that if the "road
misses Bastrop by few miles
it would be its death stroke"
We suppose he meant Bastrop's
"death-stroke;" but we should
like to know why. If the line
spoken of by the newly organized
company taps the Ouachita val
ley west Of the Ouachita river,
Bastrop will be neither injured
nor benefited. SO far as her
present trade is concerned. The

< Drunken Deteciirp.

i man named Gallagher, formerly a
 mounted inspector of customs on the
 Texas frontier, and who has come here to occupy similar position, entered the Eiit2, very late Saturday night, in an in- toxicated condition, and called for a drink of mescal, which was set before hnm. He drank it, and then asked MT Pantlind where he purchased his mescal Knowing it was none of the mans busi-
 ness, Mr. Pcntiind told him from Sono- ra. Gallagher then said Le guessed he would step behind the bar and take a look at 1t and see how much he had Of 1t. MT. Pantlind suggested that the state Of Mir. CTallagher's health wOuld not be improved by so doing. Gallagher then threw down some documents on tEc counter, saving "that's who I am" MT. Pantlind quietly pushed them back with an appropriate remark, and the persistent lover of mescal made an effort to get behind tine bar but was summarily pitched out by Pant. and ordered to leave the house, which he did. Return lEC soon afterward, he was taken aside ". -fAAs -A. -l4- AtdlllDLlil. WHO eA DlalHtA to him that Mr. Pantlind was doing legitimate business, and when approach ed in the proper manner, would show him every courtesy his official station demanded Gallagher for reply drew pistol on Danforth, but the latter sprang for him for the purpose of wrench ing it from him, when the drunken Gal lagher turned and precipitately fled up the street
 He played the same game on several saloon-keepers. and was bounced in al- most every instance. Of Tapie Brothers, # Is stated that he seized twelve gallons Of mescal. which he took to the custom house where 1t was consumed in a glori- ous drunk by a number of bibulous in- dividuals.
 Admitting that the great American of- ficial with the lnbernian patronymic was armed with legal documents bearing big red seal authorizing him to ferret ont smuggled goods, the hour which he selected for his purpose and the almost maudlin condition of inebriation in which he appeared were circumstances hardly calculated to inspire confidence l m his incoherent statements, and his l questionable actions while here were not l at all creditable to an officer in the en- ploy of the United States government.
