The total receipts of the Government during
the fiscal year 1882 were $4o3, s2s, 2so. There
is some speculation whether they will reach
that amount this year. In order 10 do SO thew
must be SIoI ,o99,oo5 during the remaining
three months. They we're $II3,763 ozo dur
ing the last quarter Of last year. The latter
amount would no doubt be reached during
the current quarter were it not for the new tax
law. The reduction of the tax on manufac-
tured tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigarettes.
and the reduction Of the special taxes on the
manufacturers, dealers and peddlers of to-
May 1. On the basis of last years receints
from these sources, the reduction would
amount to about So, coo, 600 during May and
June. But during the last four or five months
dealers have been reducing their stocks large
ly in view of the change OF the tax, and il is
expected by the department, that the increased
sales in May to replenish the stocks of deal
ers will prevent large reduction of the in
ternal revenue receipts from tobacco during
the month.

w., S. 4 =. Railroad.

We have obtained the following
items concerning the railroad, at the
company's Office in this city, from
which it will be seen that work is
favorably progressing
There have been received and stored
here G9G,OOO lbs. of track spikes,
enough for the track from this point to
Shreveport; III kegs of track bolts, suf-
ficient for 81 miles of track, with others
soon to arrive 10000 fish plates, suffi-
cient for 81 miles, with more to arrive
so soon as the river opens from st.
Louis.
The Jennie Campbell, with barges,
arrived Sunday, bringing 400 tons of
English steel rails, which will be dis.
charged within ten days. This, with
the cargo of the Henry Frank, receiv-
ell in August, makes 34o4 tons, or rails
sufficient to lay 36l miles of the line.
These rails are extra heavy, weighing
GOO lbs. to the rail.
The Company has contracted with
parties all along the line to Arcadia
and up the Ouachita, for large num-
bers of ties, and men are busy with the
saw and broad.axe all along the entire
line.
1t is expected that track-laying will
be commenced between the 18th and
Goth proXimo, and by that time, we
learn, 10 miles of track west of the
Ouachita will be ready for the rail.
The track from Monroe west will be
laid to standard guage-4 feet, 81 in
ches-and it is expected that the guage
will be changed hence to Delta before
the Fall business fairly opens. Master
NIachinist Smith has had several trucks
already changed to the standard guage
and we found the lathes, Thursday
busy changing others.

The river continues to rise, and now
stands "a feet above low water mark
but perceptible falling off in the rise
is noticeable.
The st. John passed up Tuesday 70,
Camden with good trip, and is due
down tomorrow or Mon day morning
The John Howard passed down
Monday night with full load. She
is the packet leaving New Orleans this
evening.
The tow-boat Jennie Campbell, with
three barges ladened, with:l4oo tons OF
steel rails for the V. S & p. Il. r.,
arrived Sunday night, and is engaged
in discharging the same on the opposite
side of the river. Capt. Pres Lindsay
piloted her up. He also brought the
Henry Frank through safely last sum-
mer.
The Fred A. Blanks arrived early
Sunday morning, with a good trip and
passed down at Sam, Monday, with
1900 bales cotton as starter.
The Tensas and H. Hanna Blanks,
both bound for the Bartholomew, also
arrived Sunday, the latter early in the
morning, and the former in the even
ing. These two boats, being opposition
packets, the one running in the Con-
solidated line and the other fighting it
out..on her own hook ,iare following each
other like bloodhounds on the trail of a
fugitive, and there dosen't appear to be
at an early date any cessation OF HOSTILE
ties. The Tensas is carrying passengers
at 50, and cotton from Monroe to New
Orleans Mt so cents per bale.
The Lind Grove came in with a full
load Saturday, reshipped on the Blanks;
went to the Bartholomew Monday;
returned with good trip Wednesday
night, and departed Thursday morning
for the D'Arbonne, from which stream
she is due to-day with good load.
The Board Of Underwriters at New
Orleans have reduced the insurance on
cotton from the Ouachita to $50 per
bale; and to add insult to injury have
advanced the rate of insurance to per.
cent. What motive prompted this &C.
ton, and why the Ouachita should be
singled out to bear the brunt, is
conundrum to US. An explanation is
not out of order.
