DEMOCRATIC VIGILANCE.

There is to be meeting of the Dem.
ocratic State Central Committee in
New Orleans today, the object OF
which, it is stated, is to discuss the
question of holding a Democratic State
Convention, with the view of organic
ing the party more thoroughly, prepar-
atory to the congressional election in
November. We don't suppose, of
course, that Slate convention would
attempt to interfere with the nomina-
ton of candidates In the several dis
tricts, such proposition having more
than once been defeated in our conven-
tions, but that its deliberations and
plans would be directed to combining
the energies and resources of the party
in all the districts of the State and con-
centrating these under an efficient
head, and to the further purpose of in
augurating vigorous campaign which
shall arouse enthusiasm among the
voters of the party.
Whether such convention shall be
held, or not, the Democrats of this
State must not calculate upon having
no enemies to meet. Every district in
the State will be contested. President
Arthur, as we'll as the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, have signifed
Enthusiastically that struggle will be
made in every doubtful Southern dis
trict. A struggle means contest before
the House, and contest before a Rad.
ical House means Radical represent
alive, whether elected, or defeated.
An efficient and thorough organiza-
ization of the Democrats, not alone of
tho State, but also OF each district and
parish, as speedily as practicable, will
be found the surest harbinger of success
in November. It is, doubtless, true,
that at this time very few Democrats
in any of the parishes know who COM
pose the parish committees, and it is
more than probable that many men,
bers themselves have forgotten that
they are members. Our Republican
opponents are never so forgetful and
Indifferent.

dred and thirty.seven Republicans aud
five Independents. May its prediction
be that of prophecy.
The star-route farce comes up in a
new form. The prosecution have OBJ
tanned fresh indictments against the
leading conspirators, but few believe
they will ever be tried, notwithstand-
ing the expensive flourish of trumpets
during the past twelve months. The
farce will finally be allowed to end In
smoke, and the thieves be ready to en-
ter the next presidential campaign more
potent than when Dorsey last purchased
the State of Indiana, and for which
Arthur applauded him at the celebrated
Delmonico dinner, given in honor of
the valuable political services rendered
in securing by corrupt means the elec-
toral vote of a commonwealth for
candidates who did not receive the free
vote of the people.
1t may be safely said now that the
assassin, Guiteau's case, is ended, and
that he will certainly ssstretch hemp''
on the 30th of June. The opinion of
the court will be delivered tomorrow,
and will broadly take the ground that
the jurisdiction is complete, and that
there are several grounds on which the
jurisdiction, as exercised, might be
maintained if they were necessary to
decide the case. An appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States is
hardly among the possibilities, so it is
safe to say now that there is no hope
for the wretch who has so long delayed
justice through the laws delays.

The Tensas Journal, referring to the
statement made by the TELEGRApH to
the effect that Capt. Boatner and Gen.
King are candidates for the Democrat
ic congressional nomination in this dis.
trtct, speaks of these gentlemen in the
following complimentary terms:
"We doubt not that in the time can
didates will be numerous enough. Both
thegentlemen mentioned by the TELE.
GRAPH are able men, as we happen to
know, and either would make a good
Congressman. Capt. Boatner stands
very high in his profession, and If he
should receive the nomination, we know
that the people of the district would b,
delighted to honor him with their votes
Gen. King, however, has been tried /,

respects, giving the utmost satifactio,

mistaken, his constituency does no

account of faithful services should be

should be made without consuitins

CHOKED HIS WIFE,
lYaZoo Sentinel.1

I1azoo Sentinel.l
The most distressing death of the
cyclone at Monticello was that of Mrs.
Carroll, because of the manner in which
it was brought about. Hearing the
storm approaching, Mrs. Carroll, with
her baby in her arms, rushed to her
husband, DIR. Carroll, who threw his
arms about her neck. At the thesame
moment the wind blew the timbers of
the house down upon them and crushed
them to the floor, the mother with the
infant in her arms, the husband with
his arm around his wife's neck, aud
there he choked her to death.
The falling timbers did not seem to
hurt her, but locked the doctors arm 80
closely about her neck that he could not
move it. He was conscious that he
was killing her, but all his efforts to
throw Oft the timbers were futile. AS
sistance came in two hours-too late
The spirit of his beautiful and loving
wife had taken its flight-she was in
deaths cold embrace, and the husband
felt that he was in a measure the cause
of her death. For days he was almost
a raving maniac. The babe was also
kiiled-whether by the falling timbers
or was pressed to death by its mother,
we did not learn.

TAKING THE ", 8. 4 r. RAILROAD.
We copy as follows from the Madf.
son Journal:
.JudRuaent was rendered in favor of the
parish In the tax suit against the Vicks-
burg, shrsvsport and Pacific railroad.
There win b. shout 90. 600 due Madison,
half Of which will go to the State, and tho
balance to the parish.''
We understand the suit referred to in
the above Is that of Jas. Dennis, sher.
III and Tax Collector, vs.. the W, 8. 4
p. r. r.. Co., No. 1876 on the docket OF
the District Court for this parish.
This, we learn, Il the suit which was
selected by the parties to be tried as a
test case, there being several actions
brought by the Tax Collectors Of Mad
ison, Richland, Ouachita and Caddo
parishes, for the taxes Of 1877, 1873
aud 1880.
The suit decided In the District Court
against the railroad was for the State
taxes only, due in Madison parish.
The company claims exemption I'M
der the act Of incorporation passed in
1863, and that by an act passed. In 1877
the right Of exemption was sold, or
transferred, with the other property of
the road, at the Marshal's sale ON the
LIST Of December, 1879, and was bought
by Col. Ed. Richardson 4 Co. The
plaintiffs contend that the act Of incor-
poration itself violated the Constitu.
ton Of 1852; and that under the rul.
ing Of the Louisiana and United States
Supreme Courts in the case of the State
VS.. Morgan, decided some years ago,
the company failed to carry out its con.
tract by completing the road within a
reasonable time, and hence the State is
released from its grant; and also that
this grant was personal and could not
be bought or made the subject of COM
merce.
During the past year similar case,
In which the Baton Rouge, Gross Tete
aud Opelousas road resisted the pay
ment of taxes on the grounds of SIM
liar exemption, made In the same year
aud in the same words, was tried In
our Supreme Court and the Chief JUS
tice, as the organ of the Court, decided
it In favor Of the State, and says, very
justly, the exemption is granted for
ten gears after the completion Of the road;
the work is not yet done, and the ini-
tial point for the exemption has not
yet occurred.
This seems to us good sense, as we'll
as good law.
We learn that Judge Richardson
based bis decision on this case alone.
We have commended, for more than
ten years, that this railroad company
ought to pay taxes on Its property, and
we are gratiied at being thus far sus.
tanned in our opinion. This is an i'm
portant suit, not only because it in
wolves several hundred thousands of
dollars In taxes, but on account of the
important principle which lies at its
base.
The State is represented by Messrs
Richardson, McEnery & Young, Messrs.
Potts & Hudson, John b. Stone and
Thos. O. Benton the defendants by

Disguise it as they may, there is any

Republican ranks, and all concede Re-
publican losses the coming fall in New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and the
chances are all in favor of the lower
branch of the next Congress being safe

work to perform and good deal of
seIf-denial to be practiced. We cannot
afford any breaches in our ranks, nor
hazard any compounds for the sake OF
expediency. In order to secure even a
partial reinstatement Of power we
must vie with each other in seeing who
can best work and who can best agree.
1t is only in this way that the present
governing power can be broken up,
which has had control for nearly a
quarter of a century, and is interested
in securing a permanent lease Of cor

The Parliament!

London, 8. : In the Commons
Gladstone replying to Collan, MEM
Der for Louth, said he had not yet
received the resolution of the Cana
dian legislature with regard to Ire
land, and therefore could not pre-
sent it to the House. AS to any ac-
ton upon it the matters referred to
concerned the imperial legislature
alone. AS to the portion Of the
Canadian address relating to a mat
ter within the dIscre ion Of the ex-
ecutive, it had the governments
close and constant attention before
the suggestion contained in the adj
dress reached them in any shape
from any quarter.
Goschen created a sensation In
the House when he said as Glad
stone believes a social revolution
exists in Ireland, it will have to be
proved how far peace and order are
protected by the release of the so
cial revolutionists. Land League
members Of Parliament are trying
to persuade Parnen to be in the

be used as a posse cOnlnlit0tatS. Re-
committed.
The House went into committee
on the tariff commission bill.
Blackburn replied to Burrows
criticism upon the democratic Earty
at some length, and then passing on
to a discussion Of the talitf, he de-
clared that tariff for protec-
ton was pillage and robbery.
The government received its
revenue from two sources, duties
and internal taxation, and it was
proposed that the latter should be
abolished in order that protection
might be perpetuated. He acknOW-
lodged the internal revenue system
was Ubiquitous, but maintained that
it beggared as few people as The
protective tariff, that if we abol-
ished it the revenue would be re-
duced to the extent of S135, 100000 a
year, and to that extent the taXpay-
ers would be relieved, but if the
tariff were revised, the revenue
would be cut down to the amount
of Sl35,000,OOO, and the burden of
the taxed people would be light
ened to an extent varying at from
two to three times that amount.
Kenner, while maintaining that
the proper method of raising tbs
tariff was by legislation by Con
gresS, declared his opinion in sup
porting the pending bill as the only
possible measure which could bt
