Apropos Of this noise about breaking

enquiry Did not some OF Gov. .McEn-

that direction only a few months ago !!
Did they not charge that every Southern
State government was the creature OF
democratic frauds? Where are now

And even Allan of "Sweet Iberville y

Now friends, be consistent, come over
to Nichols, whose fairness and liberal
views, are proverbial. 1t is known to
all men that he is just and will be the
Governor, if elected, OF the people, and
not of factions. Even our political enc

Railroad Monopoly.

In consequence of an extract from
the St. Landry Democrat, published in
our last issue, a gentleman, patron of
the Star, INFORMED us that the extortion
practiced by the Morgan railroad
in this parish is fully as great. We
may have erred in the statements APP
pended thereto, but as a part client of
the company we have not, as yet, had
very serious reason to complain. Truth
compels us to admit, however, from
evidences innumerable, that the direct
ors of the aforesaid road entertain very
little sympathy for the welfare of a
town, outside Of certain improvements,
which are by no means made for Orna-
mental purposes. Like all syndicates
of that kind, the Morganites do not
