FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

In to-day's paper will be found the
-. Boatner as a candidate for the DEM
Eocratic nomInatfon for Congress from
this district. To many of our readers
this will not be surprise, since Mr..
Boatner g. friends have for some time
past been urging his candidacy, and
reluctantly withdrew his name when
the Hon. j. Floyd King was last nom-
mated. He has hosts of friends and
warm admirers all over the district, and
we predict an animated canvass.
Mr.. Boatner is native of Caldwell
parish, and son of the late Hon. Mark
J. Boatner, of that parish and at his
death Lieut.. Governor of the State
At the close Of the great civil war, Mr..
Boatner was still a lad, and has, conse-
quently, no record on fields either lost
or won. But the vicissitudes of the
mighty struggle threw him upon his
own resources, when choosing the pro-
fession of law as an avenue to fortune
and usefulness, he has risen, by dint of
industry, close application to business,
and the force of native talent, to the
front rank of his profession.
While residing at Harrisonburg in
1876, Mr.. Boatner was elected by the
Democratic party to represent the dis
tr;ct of Catahoula and VIM in the
State Senate, and served for two ses-
sions of the legislature, when, on &C.
count of his private affairs, he resigned
his seat In that body and removed to
Monroe, where he has since been engag-
ed, with Judge NJ. J. Liddell, in an ex-
tensive practice Of the law.
| Mr.. Boatner's course in the Senate
came fully up to the expectation Of his
friends, and he left that body with an
unblemished record and a reputation
for distinguished parliamentary abiL
ity. AS true and loyal Democrat he
has served his party faithfully, and en-
Ijoyed it's confidence in the darkest
hours, t..-

The Railroad.

Work on the railroad west of the
Onachita is not progressing as favora-
bly, as could be wished, and there is but
slim prospect of railway connection
with Shreveport the present year. 1t
was the weather some time ago which
was plead AS an excuse for not prosecu-
ting the work vigorously; what occa-

not able to say.
Superintendent Dabney is in Shreve-
mort, where he is to meet Mr.. Bouscaren,
chief engineer of the Erlanger railway
system, who will accompany Capt.
Dabney to Monroe, on his return, in
specting the work of construction from
Shreveport to this point.
The overflow all along the road to
Delta is reported as falling, and the
work OF elevating the road bed is going
steadily forward.

Who can tell US anything about the
prospects of the railroad from Knobel
to Alexandria, by way of Monroe? 1t
is rumored that the projectors of this
road have abandoned the idea of build
ing it, but we hope sincerely that the
rumor ls not true. We cannot under
stand-this rumor being true-why two
expensive and thorough surveys of the
proposed route were made last year.
We have been shown a railway map re-
Gently Issued by the Missouri Pacific
railway on which the road from Kuo-
bel to Alexandria is laid down as part
of the Gould system. AS indicated on
this map, the road will run nearly par
allel with the Mississippi river, passing
considerably east of Pine Bluff and
Hamburg, but running through Bas-
trop and Monroe. This map was pub
lished but a month or two ago, and no
doubt is very fair evidence of the COM
pany's purpose to build the proposed
road. But whatever may happen to
retard the building Of this road, we
have never once doubted that a short
line railroad between st. Louis and
New Orleans, west of the Mississippi,
} will ultimately be built.

applicable TO Nevada as TO that terri
tory: My friend, il you own a mine

like a re. pectahls figure, open it up.
You may be as poor as an Arizona
e Iitor, but IL you have health and
strength. you have he "a l,ital which
nature gave you, and which you cal
always apply. Don't forget the per
tinent fact, that because you have
di~co erred "A ledge AMI sunk a ..pot
hoie''on it, that IL is 4 mine. BY no
manner of means. Unless it shows
extraordinary richness. it i a propo-
silion OF very indefinite value; and
even a merchant, looking at the mat
ter from a business polnt OF View,
might object TO advance a sack OF
flour and take it as collateral. But If
you should use a little muscle and 20
down 60 or 100 feel, you might strike
something that would enable you 10
pa ronize .wo-b.t saloons, go to ''Yur-
rap," and move in the very highest
circles tor the rest of your days.
Remember that you've GO. to eat
grub while in camp, and a little ex-
ercise polishing the head of drill will
give you n good appetite. But above
all things, remember tia. you "a
hardly give "a prospect away IN the

have got a niue, OPEN 1t up. and our
word for 1t, il you ear show a fair
property, with reasonable develop
ment, you will not have to wait long
for "A buyer.
Therefore, we advise ~ mining
friends 10 give up the insane idea
which some of them possess Of selling
their prospects Tor thousands OF dol
lars. YOU can't do it; and you might
hang on 10 them till you see the cen

Deadlock At Hamilton.

A correspondent writes to us from
Hamilton that the Board of County
Commissioners met there last Monday
to establish tho tax levy for 1882.
Only two members were present, Hal
stead and Flynn, and they could not
agree on the rate. Halstead was in
favor of ten cent raise @ last years
levy. but the aspirant for prospective
official honors would not permit of the
raise. He is just now very solicitous
for the welfare OF the poor taxpayers.
White Pines Commissioners seem to
be initiating, on a small scale, the New
York Legislature and the L. S.Senate;
but in our case the curious part
of the matter is that both Commission
ers are OF the same political creed.
The levey should be raised.
