I'VE fire that ever occurred in thus town is

whole town would now be in ruins The

This subject very naturally excites the
interest Of the people Of Claiborne parish.
Asthere seems to b- some misapprebslfsion
a, TO the action Of the representation of
this parish on the subject, | have To say,
that after d-lihrrntion We Thought il 10
the interest of the parish TO pass Senate
bill No III, for the rllnwing reasons;
First-Wheu Judge Watkins presented
the bill for my endorsement, frankly told
him that my constituents vera greatly in
trrrsted in such q measure, and that
could not support the hill unless Claiborn-
parish should have absolute power to pre-
vent the construction Of stationary
bridge across Dorch-vt. Mr.. Watkins, az
ter coufcrriug with the citizens Of Minden,
agreed to amend the bill to that Effect. /
took the prrcaution to telegraph this fact
to several citizens Of Hnmrr and received
a reply favorable to that end. After which
We received q telegram from the chairman
Of q railroad meeting held In the town Of
Homer, advising US to withdraw opposi-
tion to the bill MS amended. Now, some
may think that the bill was passed
over the protest and objections of Mr..
Phipps and myself, which is not the case.
Now, think that our coupe would have
been inconsistent had We opposed the bill,
hen Claiborne parish cannot possibly he
injured. The matter is lett to the discre-
tinn of the Police Jury of the parish.
Second-The option to construct draw
bridge would greatly ben-ht the railroad
company; therefore the company, i'll jus.
tice to our people, is certainly willing to
make some concessions to MS for the privi-
lrge: hence, We now hold the lever and
eau dcmaud q observation-disclosures We
would be left to the mercy If the railroad
at least eight months OF the year.
Thirl-lf, by the passage Of this bill,
Minden can be benefited and We not in
jnr'd, Why not he charitable enough t"
help herf-or are we TO let rivalry and
prejudice control our actionf
Now, ~ to what beu-fit we can obtain,
is the qnestun. Soma Suggest to build
tap, aided by the company. This is we'll
enough, if the people have enterprise
enough to do 40. My honest opinion il,
that they have not; therefore, ! suggest
that uniform tariff.ratc h- made with tLr
company for this parish. Say, the agree
mrur to stipu'ate that shipments 10 be
made hy the company At n rate not to rN-
coed the rate by navigation, Via the Dor
cheat, To all points, people to agree
to ship all their produce aud freight 10y the
railroad. This would be equitable to both
sides, and the people secure permanent
transportation for the year, in lieu If four
months. have M idea but that this ar
ran.em"nt could be accomplished, and
therefore suggest that the railroad com.
mittre give the matter consideration.
In conclusion, have to say, that am
aware that it il impossible TO please all.
Respectfully,
