Association vs.. the City of New Orleans,
unlimited to the Supreme Court, by B.
Z. Forman, Esq, Attorney for Plaintiffs;

BCRGLARs.-On last Thursday night,
some burglars broke open the Office of the
irosse Tete Railroad Company, ut Port

Hon, d. c. MONTAN was i'll to see us
on yesterday, and we are happy to state
is heart and soul with the people of his
native city, Baton Rouge, on the ques-
tion of our interior railroads. He is
Rready to be one of the Eastern Louisi-
Eina Railway Company and believes that
pur citizens, with outside assistance
'will make the landings ia view Let
the campaign be pushed vigorously.
BCLLY FOR SCHNEIDERt- The one
who so spicily edits the Minden Demo
crat, we mean. Our worthy confere OBJ
serves that we have referred to his COM
petitor of the Tribune as the Minden in
stead of the Webster Tribune, an error
which he says might create the impress
sion that the soon-to-be city already sup
ports three papers. We stand corrected
friend Schneider, and will load our
blunderbuss in such a way that it won't
scatter quite so much.

The NatChitoChes Register announces
its temporary suspension in an article
wherein Mr.. f. Hewitt scores Il certain
class of politicians, in his accustomed
earnest and fearless style. We don't
know how far from being right Mr..
Hewitt may be ; Mt all events he has
shown himself man of strong convic-
tions who, believing that he is right,
dares maintain what he asserts. Right
or wrong he deserves to have said of
him: HoaneW az Courage malhemeur.
BUILDING RESIDENCEs.-No better
evidence of the increasing prosperity Of
Baton Rouge, can be given than to note
the fact that there exists great demand
for houses TO rent. From the humble
cottage to the mansion. we hear of in
quirios being made. 1t is unquestiona-
bic that there an influx of population
into the Capital City. Soon, it will be
next to impossible to supply the increas-
ing calls for Judgment. Our property
holders should look to this matter at
once. The transfer of the State govern
ment and the construction of railways
will give us fifteen thousand souls in less
than four years.
