MONROE AND THE RAILROADS..

The engineering corpes of the Alex
reached Monroe in the course of their
survey from Alexandria on Tuesday,
the 2Stb. The members of the party
all seem in good health and high
spirits, although they showed the
effects of the tramp through the rough
country between the Red river and
Ouachita; and also complained of the
intense heat from which all have suf-
fered during the past two weeks.
II tho present survey should bc
finally adopted, the road will cross the
Ouachita river at or about the mouth
of the Cheniere, about seven miles be-
low Monroe, and coming up OH this
sidewill pass through the Harris Addi-
tion, running along Fifth or Sixth
street; and after reaching'a locality
near the present depot Of V. S. & Z.
II. r. will take direct course for
Bayou DeSiard which il will cross at
or about the "Betin place" We I'M
derstoOd it is the intention Of the
directing engineer to pass through the
Island, and cross the Bartholomew,
about the mouth of tho DeSiard on that
stream and thence bear constantly to
the east in a direct line to Pine Bluff.
This route would leave our friends in
Bastrop a few miles TO the east of the
road. And they will have to bcstir them
selves in order TO change the direction,
so that they may have the full benefit
of the road.
We arc no engineer, and do not pre-
tend to have any knowledge ofthc econ
omies in rail-roading but we can but
think the road would develop richer
and better country without loosiny
materially in distance by crossing the
bartholomew either just below or
above the Round Turns, some few
miles above Bastrop and thence
through Monticello to Pine Bluff
However several surveys will neccs-
snrily be made before the final adoption
OF any line, and we have no doubt hnt
that the company VIII eventually fix
upon the ono which will present the
greatest advantages for q thorourhf,re
of this character.
Work has not yet been commenced
onour other road the V. S. e. =. r.. r..
but we learn that the necessary pre-
limlnary steps are being taken to com
mence operation in earnest; and to
push it to speedy conclusion.
a large mass of the iron and wooden
material for the bridge across the Oua-
chita has already been received and
placed in convenient position whilst
brick making, and brick burning are
gong on across tho river mt Il fremcn-
dons rate. Everything gives promise
OF busy future to our little city. s,
mote it be.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. Editor-Allow me 10 ask the ia
vor of you to publish in the Grange
column of your paper the following adj
dress of Worthy Master, Col. X. w.
Baylor, TO the State Grange which as
semJlcd at Anderson. in this State, Sept.
7, 1881 -
1t is perfectly useless for the farmers OF
this country to suppose for moment that
they can perfect any measures OF relief
except by thorough organizations. Our
rulers are not actuated with view TO the
public good, but are generally the guar
dians OF corporate wealth; our laws all
tend towards class legislation and arc i'll
the interest of monopolies and capital.
How are your representatives chosen ;lIow
are your elections conducted? Capital
lists rule our elections, and our representa-
tives are the chosen champions OF their i'll
terests, and against the rights OF the Ia
boring classes. The aims and purposes of
the Grange are TO unite our whole strength
to enforce the claims and just rights of
each of its members against the combined
power of capital. 1t is clearly, then, the
interest of every farmer 10 join the Grange,
if for no other purpose but to protect his
individual rights against this combined
power of large aggressive monopoies.
There is but one course left us to pursue,
and that is TO unite. Let Orangers every
where renew their obligations to the Or
der, and draw around us more closely the
bonds of fratcrnal friendship and train
ourselves TO unity Of action then we can
command and enforce obedience. Your
deliberations to-day will be beneficial just
in proportion as they may confer benefits
to the Order of real and permanent val
ue.
The foregoing are profound truths
which should te read by all men: and
have due weight, not only upon every
agriculluralist but upon every laborer
in our land; organized capital in all ages
and every country has become despotic
when noe restrained and kept in check
bv Just laws. Brother Baylor sees aud
knows the assumptions and stretch OF
power exercised by this giant monopo
ly, the Il. & o. Railroad company,
which he, as one of the executive officers
of this county is called upon 10 contend
with so frequently; therefore bis words
of warning are the words Of wisdom de-
rived from experience, and consequent
" should be read aud needed by all.
This community, of which Col. Baylor
is one, is especially the victim of out
rageous extortion by corporate power;
his Invocation TO the producers of our
land to unite 10 resist these aggressions
are worthy of our serious consideration
aud Jealous support

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10, 1881.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 1881.
The election in Virginia is over; the
political dead and dying are still upon the
field; W hat was confidence Yesterday is
distriIst and sorrow today. Virginia has
been placed in the ranks of 6ishonored
common wealths. but hot by her own con-
sent, il is the act of her degenerate sons,
and no odium can attach 10 the noble
sires who begot such vile offspring as Ma
hone and his gang. their disgrace is the
eff ,ct OF Radical training and not breeding.
The reputation Of honor through the
ballot box in the old StaIe was the con-
Eliminating effect of Radicalism, incubatcd
and Matched in the Radical camp here at
Washington, yes, in the White House and
by the President of this great Republic.
How long will the people tolerate such
villainy az thsrt, which took from the
grand old mother State her fair name.
We can with some feeling OF pity hook up
OH the poor wretch who in drunken
frenzy strikes down his friend, but when
Child will strike down and biackeu the
fair name of his mother, We can find moth
ing i'm our hearts for him but contempt
and loathing. Malone by his act and con-
spiracy with Radicalism has painted dis
honor on the forehead Of the grand old
mother Stale, aud like the Nero OF Rome
Shouts IN triumph over tie disgrace he
has wrought upon the soil that gave him
birth. 1t almost seems TO us crime
against the Deity to say he gave being to
Malone, and an insult 10 his Satanic
Majesty TO think he would mike such an
abortion on man.
