more imperative. Ii we had a place of
amusement that would seat twice the audi

could have been filled every night by the

those people look to Memphis for amuse-

The Appeal for Aid.
(Times-Demoerat, Feb. 49,,

lTimes-Demoerat, Feb. IL.
1t appears that the Times-Democrat
reached in the first instance fairly
correct estimate of the alleged destitu-
ton in certain parishes of North Louis
lana. The petition was presented to us
on Thursday and, while we were more
than willing to cooperate in any and
all measures for the relief Of distress
in the State, we could not persuade
ourselves, that the appeal" truly rep
resented the facts as to all the parishes
named or contemplated the proper
remedy. The document handed to US,
and which purported to be proces-rer-
bal of the meeting held at Columbia,
named as the chairman gentleman,
Hon. r. d. Bridger, for whom we en-
terrain sentiments of profound respect
and confidence, IT any such meeting
was ever held, and if Mr.. Bridger really
presided over it and gave his sanction
to the proceedings as described in the
report, we should be 10th to discredit it
either in speech OF thought. Embar-
raised by these uncertainties and res
tricted by the fear of doing injustice,
our remarks upon the occasion were not
as full and explicit as they would have
been under different circumstances
but. we very plainly indicated our
doubts, and were quite emphatic in
protesting against the plan of appeal
ling to the Federal government until
fuller inquiry had been made and all
methods within our power exhausted.
That the grain crops were cut short
as well as cotton, and that the farmers
throughout the interior parishes in the
northern part of the State are enduring
a certain degree of privation are facts
no one is abe or anxious to deny, But
that the people of these seven parishes
have authorized any person to represent
them as being in desperate STRATA and
as throwing themselves upon the coun-
try in the character of jumpers, has
been abundantly contradicted by the
most unquestionable evidence.
Just what there is at the bottom of
all this mysterious business, we shall
not without further information under
take to conjecture. We shall be better
able to speak positively in day or two,
and shall defer until then more expli
cit and circumstantial comment.

Natchez, Red River and Texas
Railroad.
[Natchez Democrat, 4th. |


We are glad to learn from Judge H.
r. Steele, President OF the Natchez,
Red River and Texas Railroad Com
pany, that it has been determined to
put a full engineering force upon the
road and push forward as rapidly as
possible the survey of the road from
Alexandria to the Sabine River. The
New York stockholders are anxious for
the completion of the road, and ample
funds will be forthcoming for that pur-
pose. The engraved bonds of the COM
pany and the certificates of stock are
now in the hands of the president of
the company for signature, and will
be signed at once and forwarded to the
trustee in New York for his endorse
ment.
AS we have already stated, some tif-
teen hundred tons OF steel rails are on
the way and are expected shortly to ar
rive from Europe, and the company
have contracted with the steamer Hen
nv Frank for the transportation of the
whole cargo to Vidalia. The steamer
Guiding Star is shortly due here with
a number of freight cars, and two loco
motives will be here in ample time to
be put on the track as soon as the new
rails are laid.
Upon the whole the company and the
community have reason to congratulate
themselves at the prospect OF the ex-
peditious construction of this most
valuable road, and can rest assured OF
speedy connection with the railroad
system of Texas.

Yesterday morning, just after day
light some person drove through town,
with buggy and gray horse. One OF
the front wheels was off, of which fact
he seemed to be Ignorant; and the
point of the axle plowed through the
mud. Near Young & Co.'s drugstore,
the axle hitched under bridge, and
the horse, being whipped by the driver,
broke loose from the buggy. The
driver then abandoned the buggy and
attempted to mount the horse. He
managed to get up several times, but
did so with such momentum that he
landed on the ground-or mud-on the
other side. After much practice he
finally struck the proper balance and
rode away. He will no doubt tell a
marvellous tale about the way that old
poor gray horse ran away, and smashed
things up and came near killing him.

according to priority of application.
Let them send in their names, and we
will register and number them as we
receive them. The first one will have
one weeks's notice of the time he is to
begin, and the balance can follow suit,
By this means we will have variety.

MAIL RoBBED.-Last Tuesday even
ing, between six and seven o'clock, the
mail rider, colored man, twenty one
or two years old, on his way, from Fa-
bacher postoffice to Opelousas, was
halted by three white mounted horse
mSn, with pistols drawn, at the vacant
cabin near Mr.. Joseph B. Young's, about
thirteen miles from here, and two miles
this side of Prud'homme city; while
two OF them held their pistols on him,
the third one took the mail bag from
the carrier, and all three galloped off
with it. The mail matter from that
place is always small. On this occasion
there were two or three registered
packages in the bag, but it is not known
here at present what they contained.
II they were of much value, the suppo-
sition lie that the robbers knew they
were in the bag, which they might have
learned from the parties who sent them.
Later.-On Wednesday, the day after
the robbery, the mail bag was found in
the prairie. The mail carrier was
taken to the spot where he said he was
robbed. to show the tracks of the rob-
bers' horses, (which should have been
plainly visible in the mud, but no such
tracks were there. He was therefore
arrested at once, and confessed that be
robbed the mail himself. He stated
that he found two bills in the bag,
which he had hidden, but did not know
the denomination of either. On Thurs
day morning he was taken to. the place
where the bills were hid, which was in
the vacant cabin where he said he was
robbed, and they were recovered, being
one two-dollar and one five-dollar bill,
amounting to seven dollars in all. For
the robbery of such petty amount he
will probably spend a good portion of
his life in tho penitentiary. The fact of
there being registered packages in the
bag tempted him, and he no doubt
thought he was going to strike bo
nanza. 1t is pity that persons Of such
ignorance and lack of moral sense,
should have positions exposing them to-
temptation they cannot resist; it he
had been left in his proper place, the
cotton and corn field, he might have
gone through life without committing
crime and been useful citizen, pro-
ducer Of much corn and cotton. his
name is Ben, Eugene,
