Tl.e MissourI Il .iIrsaa Ala Bonds.

Judge Miller, at st. Louis, Missouri, de-
livered a decision on Saturday refusing to
restrain the governor of the State from sell
ing the Hannibal aud st. Joseph railroad for
dsfault in interest. The officers of the com
p1ny in New York have received advices from
their attorneys at ST. Louis, stating that the
grounds on which the decision Of the court
was based are such to permit the company
by other proceedings to make an attempt to
estop the State from any sale OF the railroad
Yae CONDUCT of the Etate in the matter of its
relations with the III Inuibal and st. Joseph
company is most surprising. The State is
sued, some years ago, S3,OOO,OOO State bonds
to aid in the building of that rail
road. The railroad company assumed the
payment of the inter. st on the bonds. Last
June the Company paid the State S., 100000
foF the principal and accrued interest of the
bonds. Messrs. r. G. Rolston, Herman
DJwd and Oren Root, jr., trustees of the rail
road company, received in due form a re-
ceipt Of the money from Mr. Phil. L Chitten-
den, treasurer OF the State of Missouri. The
State paid the July interest on its bonds, but
on ] 4nuary l, 1882, it refused to do so, and
then charged the railroad company with the
default The question OF the payment Of
the ST te aid bonds had the misfortune to
become political issue in the State, and SO
is lef5 unsettled, the governor, by an appeal
to courts, endeavoring to saddle the Hanni-
bal AMI st. Joseph Company with the re-
apbn-ibi ity Tor paying interest on debt

EGYPT. T.-There is but little change in
the aspect of affairs in Egypt. The in
surgents under Arab continue their
iendish programme of murder and des-
truction of property. They appear to
be terrifying Abonkir and Rosetta /; but
the exact whereabouts of the rebellieus
ex Pasha is unknown.
Meanwhile Great Britain and France
are hurrying troops to the scene of ac-
tion.. Port Said, at the northern en-
trance of the Suez canal, has been se-
lected as the chief place of debarkation.
The situation in Cairo, the capital of
Egypt. is said to be almost as terrible
as that of Alexandria. Upward of 5000
homeless and starving persons have
gathered in the Esbikizah Place, the
principal public promenade. Hun
dreds have already died of starvation
their bodies remain nnburieds and a
pestilence appears imminent. Nearly
every, European has left the city.
Anarchy prevails throughout the conn

EDITORS OF THE COURIER:

EDITORS OF THE COURIER:
see by your issue of last week that
a District Convention is to be held at
Baton Rouge, On the 18th of August,
for the purpose of nominating a demo-
cratic candidate for Congress, in this
district. 1t is to be presumed that
there will be several aspirants, with
more or less claims upon the party,
who will submit their names to the
convention for said nomination. With
all due respect and appreciation of the
rights and. claims of the gentlemen
who may seek the nomination, your
correspondent thinks that the Hon. E.
W. Robertson should be his own sue
cessor, for the following reasons: 1st.
Because ever since he has been repre-
senting us in Congress he has shown
not only marked legislative abilities,
but an active appreciation of the inter-
ests, rights, and important needs not
only of his district. but of the whole
state of Louisiana. I'd. He is a Nom
Der of several committees. notably the
Committees on Levees and Public I'm
provements. He has already rendered
valuable services in his ipdefatigable
6uu 10 scGNIO uppIO-
priations for the building of levees and
the improvement of our navigable
streams. He is perfectly familiar with
all the features of these important
questions which are yet unconsumma-
ted in Congress-; and it is but an act of
simple justice due him by the people,
as an acknowledgment of his past val
liable services. to return him to Con-
gress to perfect and carry cut this great
work. No other successor of his, how
ever able and meritorious, would be
prepared to carry cut these objects as
the Hon. E. w. Robertson can de them.
Sd. He is familiar with all the work
ings and parliamentary tactics in Con-
gress which gives him decided ad-
vantage in rendering US efficient SER
vice over a successor who has never
had any experience in Congress. 4th.
There are no just and solid reasons
for setting him aside at this juncture
when he can render still more imp0r-
tant services to his constituency in the
legislative bills new pending in Con-
gress, AS everything therefore is in
his favor both in justice and in facts
we hope the st. Landry delegation,
particularly, will stand solid for him,
and that he will be re nominated and
re- elected as our representative.
DEMOCRAT.
The Opelousas courier. [volume] (Opelousas, La.) 1852-1910, 1882-07-29

The Lafayette Aduertiser of last Sat-
nrday, referring to the rumor that the
Hen. Henry L. Garland, of Opelousas.
would be urged by his friends for the
congressional nomination in this dis
trict, says:
/. Every one ii the State who knows
Capt. Garland, would rejoice over the
nomination and election of such a man
to represent Louisiana in the Congress
of the United States
We fully endorse the above aenti-
ments. At the time of the last issue of
our paper, We were not aware that
there was any purpose on the part of
