BLAINE's PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

Mr.. Blaine's conviction that he is
destined to reach tho Presidency next
time is genuine. His confidence is en-
tire. He has convinced himself that
his plans are sufficient. All he asks of
his friends Is to be prepared to act.
He will show them the grounds of his
confidence in due time. All he asks of
them for the present is to believe. His
bouyancy is great. He hardly consults
ordinary prudence, and is impatient for
active work in the field. His con-
tempt for opposition he can scarcely
conceal. He counts confidently on a
general breakup of parties, and on his
ability to marshal the fragments under
his banner. 1t is the great work of his
life. His whole energies are devoted
to it. His chief object at present is to
SOW discord. His elation was never so
great. Hc boasts of his power to COM
bine, of tho certainty already assured.
He no longer speaks of reliance on the
Republican organization, but maintains
IL mystery about what is going to hap
pen. He takes no interest in Congress,
except as the proceedings relate to
himself, which they do with fire.
quency and in a manner that would be
disturbing to anybody else. When
asked whether Maine will not elect Il
solid Democratic delegation to Con-
gress next term on general ticket, he
thinks it quite probable, and evinces
no regret at the prospect. His pur-
poses are apparently foreign to the sue
cess of the Republican party. He de-
votes his whole time TO his plans, and
takes no step not expected to advance
them.
Either the ex-Secretary is playing an
extensive confidence game or he has
entered into combinations which he is
con WINGED will insure the success of his
ambition. Tho evidence of this latter
is not yet apparent. Many of his old
friends admit the absurdity of his en-
deavors as he has set out. Few profess
their Intention, to link their fortunes
with his. Generally they admit the
desperate character of the enterprise.
Hardly any pretend to understand the
ground of his confidence.- Hushin9fO"

WANT RAILROAD COMMUNICATION.

Although times are hard and money
is scarce the people of Homer and Clai-
borne parish are still determined to
have n railroad. We want railroad con-
nection and communication with the
world. Our people have at last realized
that the future of this section depends
largely on securing a railroad through
our parish. Because we refused to
donate large sum of money to Mr..
Beardsley to build his prospective road
from Hope to Monroe through this
parish, it must not be inferred that we
have given up the hope of a railroad.
The proposition of Mr.. Beardsley was
rejected for the simple reason that our
people were satisfied they could do
better than to build railroad and give
1t to II company. If we have to
build railroad, we propose to own
1t. Judge Richardson is corresponding
with different companies and persons
in reference to the matter, and when all
parties have been heard from meeting
will be called and something determined
upon.
We can and will, four people remain
determined, have railroad i'll the near
future. We can build u tap to Arcadia
and connect with the Vicksburg,
Monroe and Shreveport road or we can
purpose. Mtnden aud Shreveport would
perhaps assist us to build in that direc-
ton, and the vicinity of Arcadia
would no doubt aid US to build to that
point. We are now prospecting, but
soon prospect will resolve into purpose,
and purpose ripen into action.-Gtai-

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 22-The subs
committee of the House committee
on commerce, Messrs. Page, Richard
son and Reagan, appointed to draft
a report OF presentation to the House
respecting the recent passage of the
bill to regulate immi grafton, met tos
day and prepared a statement, which
is substantially as follows: We
consider it our duty to make state
ment to the House i'll the matter of
the bill to regulate immigration,
presented by MIR. Reagan, on Mons
day, June 17th, 1882, and passed
by the House under suspension

thereof as were then present III the
House, having under misapprehen
sion advocated or consented TO It's
passage, and the return of which
bill from the Senate has since been
secured: The bill was introduced
by Mr.. Van Voorhis, of New York,
April 6, 1882, and referred to the
committee on commerce June q.
1882 The committee, after careful>
ly considering and amending the
same, authorized Mr.. Richardson to
report it as amended, to the House,
with the recommendation that 1t do
pass. On Saturday, June II,
1882. Mr.. Richardson, at the
request of Mr., Van VoUrhis,
handed him the bill aod report, a
courtesy often extended to the au-
thors OF bills. On the following Mon
day morning, during Richardson's
absence, Mr. Van Voorl1ls,
with the consent of Ger
tain members OF the committee,
asked Judge Reagan to report the
committees bill, but handed to him
with the accompanying report, the
bill which passed, with The statement

agreed to by the said committee,
when i'll point of effect, it was mate
rally different bill from that which
the committee had authorized Rich-
ardson to report fayOrably TO the
House, Under this assurance Mr..
Reagan looked hastily over the bill and
discovering what he conceived to be

self lad ordered, and which had been
adopted in the committee, changed
the phraseology to conform with his

ing upon the assurance OF Mr.. Van
Voorhis, offered said bill and stated
that it was the bill favorably recom~
mended by the committee. The

and passed, with the amendments
agreed to by the committee This

Garibaidi's Appearance.

Garibaldl was middle-sized man
and not of an athletic build, though
gifted with uncommon strength and
surprising agility. He looked to the
greatest advantage on horseback, as
he sat on the saddle with perfect
ease and yet with such calm serenity.
us If he were grown to it, having
had, though originally sailor, the
benefit Of ii long experience in tam
ing the wild mustangs OF the
P5,mas. But his chief beauty was
the head and the unique dignity with
winch 1t rose on the shoulders.
The features were cast in the old
classic mould; the forehead was high
and broad, perpendicular line from
the roots OF the hair to the eye
brows. His mass of tawny hair and
full red beard gave the countenance
IT'S peculiar lion like character. The
brow WIS open, genial, sunny; the
eyes dark gray, deep, shining with
eady reddish light; the nose, mouth,
and chin exqulslteiy chiseiled, the
cOuntenance habitually at Iest, but
at sight of those dear to him beam
ing with ''caressing smile, reveal
ing all the innate strength and grace
OF his loving nature" There was
both taste and simplicity in the cos>
tune TO which he gave his name, and
to which he adhered, on his return
from America, with afondness which
was imputed to foppery, and with

respondent, at Alexandria, says: It
is generally believed that if the
Khedive goes to Cairo he will not re-
turn from there alive.
The fleet here consists of seven
English ships, seven French, two
Greek, one Italian, one Austrian,
one German, one American, one
Russian and one Turkish.
It is ascertained from official
sources that there is no truth in the
rumors with reference to the
troubles III the Cabinet in conse-
quence Of the objections to in
tervention IN Egypt. The rumors
are attributed to the dev ces of the
operators i'll Egyptian securities on

1t is reported that the correspond
ent of New York Herald at
Alexandria, was beaten by an Arab
to day, but was not much hurt.
Sir Charles Dixie made declara-
ton touching the basis of the con-
ference, in the House of Commons
this afternoon similar to that made
by Sir De Frecy Civet in the French
Chamter of Deputies.
Bradlaugh made an attempt to
present a petition at the table in the
House of Commons this afternoon,
but withdrew it under protest at the
order of the Speaker.
PARIS, June % In the Chamber
Of Deputies to~day NJ. Defreycinel,
prime minister, SAID that France and
England have given their ambassas

of the conference, the re-establish
ment of the rights of the Sultan,
maintenance OF the rights of the

ties of the Egyptians and the OBJ
servance of the international en-
gagements of the Egypt. The
Powers, he said, would sign a pros
focal forbiddipg them to seek any
advantage outside of the bases of
the conference. The government
had in no degree resigned their in
dependence. If, contrary to all ex>
pectations, they found themselves
confronted by a solution inconsist-
ent with their dignity, they would
resume the liberty OF action, but
they are convinced that the existing
accord would continue.
The Senate, despite the favorable
speech by Nj. Farran, minister of
commerce, has rejected the bill on
the importation of pork, on the
ground that it did not offer sufficient
guarantees against trichinosi.

Thomas Allen, of Missouri, would
be delivered.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, said
that the bill was right as far as it
went, but that it did not go nearly
as far as he would have wished. He
thought that the entire internal
revenue system ought to be
abolished. Internal taxes. except in
time of war, were anti>Republican
and anti-Democratic They were in
opposition to the general policy of
this government They were of
British origin, and had always
been viewed with British odium.
The best way to raise revenue was
by import duties. They bore less
heavily on the tax payers, and that
was what the Legislators ought TO
look to. A general debate followed
which occupied the time until 3
clock, when the comm ttee rose.
After addresses by Messrs. Robin
son, of Massachusetts,, Hewitt, Of
New York, and Hatch and Frost, of
Missouri, the House, out of respect
