Progress Of Work on the w.. S. \ II.
Railroad. --..-...

| after calling two or three times at the
office of the Vicl<sburg, Shreveport d
Pacific railroad, to obtain information
as to the progress of work ON the road,
and finding Superintendent Dabney
| surrounded by clerks and number of
gentlemen seeking information. At
length, Captain Dabney was found at
leisure, and we give the substance aud
almost tho words of Capt. Dabney in
answer to our questions: The work
of construction between Monroe and
Arcadia, said the Captain, has not
progressed to the satisfaction of the
Company, but arrangements are being
perfected by which the work will be
prosecuted much more vigorously. So
far, the contractors on the Western di-
vision have shown sufficient energy
and zeal to induce the belief that their
portion of the work will be completed
according to contract:
The bridge over Red river, said Capt.
Dabney, will soon be let, and parties
are either now in Shreveport, or on
their way there, to bid on the SUBJ
structure. A number of the largest
bridge firms are waiting for the adver-
tisement for proposals, to bid ON the
|superstructure, and there is little or no
question but that Red river will be
spanned by a first-class draw bridge
before the end of the year.
In answer to a question as to elevat-
ing the track east of Monroe, Captain
Dabney Informed us that the Company
has been waiting for the overflow to
subside sufficiently to force upon the
line all the men that can be worked to
advantage. It will not be very long,
he continued, before we expect to have
at least 900 men engaged upon the
work of reconstructing the road be-
tween Monroe and Delta, to say moth
ing of one steam shovel, now at Delhi,
and four trains of cars to haul material
from it.
We learn that arrangements are
pending between the railroad Company
and leading citizens of Minden which
are likely to result in the building of a
branch road to that place.
Captain Dabney returned from Vicks-
burg Wednesday, where he met and
conferred with Col. Jno. Scott, General
Manager, as also the Chief Engineer of
the Erlanger system of railroads. The
work of completing the railroad will
not be delayed for the lack of means
or determination to make speedy
communication with the Pacific.

REpURLIoANIsM is old fashioned
Puritanism in a modified form. 1t
undertakes to regulate every mans
conscience and moral ideas. No
set of clocks or watches have ever
been made to run exactly alike, yet
this is what political fanatical party
would do with free born thinking
human beings. The system Las been
applied most severely to the South,
but occasionally Northern communi-
ties get d taste Of their own medicine.
The party of great moral ideas, in the
exuberance of supposed perpetual
power passed an act in Ohio known as
the Pond law. 1t regulates beer
drinking on Sunday. The Germans
are generally Republicans, but they
arc independent enough to resent
this interference with their national
customs. At the late Cincinnati cleo
ton they turned the city over to the
Democrats, and have not yet offered
any apologies or evidence Of repent.

the Puritanical Republican party, and
they are quite undecided as to what
they are going to do about it.
