The Vicksburg Commercial thus
outlines the political outlook:
The political outlook has more of
interest than one might think, as the
next session of Congress will have
an immediate bearing and exert a
direct influence in the selection of
the next President, just now, our
political status is that of a perfect
calm, and will so continue until the
approaching fall when the election
of congressman will warm up to fever
heat the politicians of the day. We
shall again hear it reiterated that
there is great crisis that the gray
est questions are to be discussed
that have been for years brought to
the consideration Of the people.
New aspirants for congressional
honors will be brought to the front,
and an exciting campaign entered
upon, platforms and principals will
undergo thorough discussion, the
finances, the tariff, internal improve
ments, the Mississippi levees, canals
and outlets for the mighty waters
will enter largely into the fall cam.
paign, if not into the action of the
next Congress. This is not all.
The result of the approaching con-
gressional election will have an i'm
portant bearing in the next presi-
Dental election. The next Congress
when assembled will outline the
general features Of a platform upon
which candidates must pledge them
selves to stand or give up the hope
of q nomination for the first office
in the nation. There will be meas
ures introduced in the U. S. Senate
and House of Representatives with
the view of developing public sentl-
ment and calling out aspirants for
the Presidency in 1884.

ROBERT P. HUNTER.

No other aspirant for the Circuit
Judgeship, besides Mr.. Robt. t.
Hunter, has yet been presented from
our bar.
He is liked by everyone and loved
most by those who know him best.
In the opinion of the people, he
stands among our best lawyers and
best men, and while it would be an
honor to confer the position on him,
he would be an honor to the posi-
ton. He would without doubt pre-
side with honesty, impartiality, firm
ness and dignity, backed by an
amount of legal lore Of no mean
order.
ssTo the manor born,'' with the
people, for the people, and of the
people, his many good qualities are
known to us, and his elevation to the
bench would send a thrill OF pride
through the breasts of the most OF
our citizens and would be reflected
honor upon us all.
In all the postures in which he
has posed, and they have been many,
he has never been a failure. AS edi-
tor, essayist, newspaper correspond
ent, orator, politician, lawyer, he has
been a success every time, as he will
be success should he receive the
appointment of judge.
Sociable, liberal minded, generous
hearted, if there is deed of charity
to be done he heads the subscription
list and carries it around; if the dead
need looking after, he becomes an
active and influential member Of the
Cemetery Association; he is at home
at horse race, tournament Or shoot
ing match; he is the soul of all the
parties he attends, and dances with
the same ease and facility, With
which he, a Protestant, makes a
speech of welcome to a Catholic
Bishop.
| The man who has no ambition,
seldom achieves much. Honor, glo-
ry and pound-cake are not often
forced on the humble.
Perhaps Mr.. Hunter sees CLEAN
ing in the distance on eagle heights,
Fame's proud temple, .perhaps. Ambi
ton is pointing the way and that
Excelsior" is his motto. Boys,
shallewe not call on the Legislature
to give "Bob" start EDWARDS and
upwards? Up with him!

ARTHUR's CABINET.

President Arthur completed his
Cabinet yesterday, by filing the po-
sitions of Secretary of the Interior
and Secretary of the Navy. The
Cabinet will now remain unchanged,
it is said, except, perhaps, the Urea
suryship. Mr.. Folger it is now un-
derstood, desires to become the Re
publican candidate for Governor Of
New York, and will leave the Cabi-
net for this purpose. All the other
members, however, will remain and
serve out their terms.
The Cabinet as now constituted is
as follows: Secretary of State, Ere
linghuysen: Secretary OF the Treasu-
ry, Folger; Secretary of War, Lin
coin; Secretary of the Navy, Chand-
Ter; Secretary of the Interior, Teller;
Postmaster General, Howe; Attorney
General, Brewster. Lincoln is the
only member of the Garfield Cabinet
remaining, and he was always known
as strong Grant man. OF the 9th
ers, all are "Stalwarts,'' for Chand-
Ter is undoubtedly "Stalwart" now,
although be was at one time one OF
Blaine's most earnest supporters.
The two new nominees are Teller
and Chandler. Teller is man of
fair ability, but has had very little
public experience. He never held
Office until sent, as Senator from
Colorado in 1877. In the Senate he

tern press when his probable nomi
nation was discussed, but nothing
could be discovered to his discredit
and his nomination was accordingly
unanimously confirmed.
The nominee to the Navy Depart
ment, to succeed Secretary Hunt
has had, on the other hand, varied
and lively political career. "Bilp
Chandler, although only 4S, has beer
in political life for years, having
been Assistant Secretary of th'
Treasury nearly twenty years ago
and held various other offices of pro
fit and honor. But he has been hes
known as the chairman Of the Re
publican committee and the director
of Republican campaigns. He gain
ed a national reputation in 1876
when he first suggested, when al
the other Republicans had given NJ
all hope, that perhaps after all Mr.
Hayes stood chance of securing TIT
votes of Louisiana and South Caro-
lima and the Presidency. And tt
him, far more than to any other Re
publican, that party owed the sue
cess of the plot which seated Haye!
in the White House.
Mr.. Hunt, the only Southern
member of the Cabinet, goes as gu,
Minister to Russia. He leaves THU
section wholly unrepresented, every
member of the Presidents Cabine

Trans-Mississippi Central Railroad.

The Northeast and West having
been completely covered with net
work of railroads, the South has at
tracted the attention of capitalists
and construction companies and now
many of the roads projected before
and soon after the war are in a fair
way of being completed. AS a re-
suit in Louisiana we have had built
within the last three years the Loui-
siana Western Railroad, and the N.
0. Pacific Railroad, over 5O7 miles
in length.
The Trans Mississippi Central
Railroad, a new line, contemplates as
per prospectus before US, building
from Omaha, Nebraska, to Jefferson
City, Missouri; thence to Little Rock
Ark. From Little Rock the road
will run very.near due South, through
the counties of Pulaski, Grant, Dali
las, Calhoun and Union, in the State
of Arkansas, and the parishes of
Union, Lincoln, Bienville, Red River,
Natchitoches and Sabine, in the
State of Louisiana, and through Sab
inc, Jasper, Hardin and Liberty
counties, in the State of Texas, to
Houston, the Southern terminus
the whole distance from Omaha to
Houston being 1856 miles.
The parishes in Louisiana through
which this road will pass will be
greatly benefited. We give their
population as follows: Union, IL, 100;
Lincoln, 1896; Bienville, $685.; Red
River, 7045; Nstchitnches, 21,SsS;
Sabine, 1881.
The population is small, the area
considered, and the public lands be-
ing over one-half, the transportation
furnished by this road will lead to
rapid development of the oak up
lands, pine and river bottoms of
these parishes.
The present crop is principally
cotton. The introduction of farm
ing population would lead to d.
versity of crops. The climate is
particularly pleasant and healthful.
The range for cattle and hogs are as
good as any portion of the State
the bottom lands rich and every far
mer who is worthy of the name could
be perfectly independent by raising
all that is needed for consumption
and much that is profitable to SELL
all that is needed is q good system of
transportation.-EN. 0. States.

HE SITUATIoN.-There has been
no check to the fall of the flood i'm
the Mississippi. 1t goes down stead
lily at the average rate of two inches
a day, the fall yesterday being three
inches at Memphis, two inches at
Bayou Sara and one inch at the head
of Canal Street. Land is beginning to
appear in considerable quantities
along the river front in North Louis,
lana, and it is expected that planting
operations will be general in that sec.
tion by May l.
The water is also falling steadily
in the upper Atchafalaya, and dry
land is looked for in that section in
about two weeks. Lower down the
situation is also improved in slight
degree. The water continues to rise
in the Teche at Franklin, but at Nor
gan City it seems to have come to q
standstill since yesterday morning,
although it rose two inches in the
previous "a hours. There is reason
to believe, upon the basis of the above
facts, that the height ofthe food has
been reached in the Southwest, and
that from to day the OVERLOOKING
waters will begin to retire.-TNew
