Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
Railroad.

Ouachita Telegraph, Jan. 27l
We have obtained the following
items concerning the railroad, at the
company's Office in this city, from
which it will be seen that york is
favOrably progressing:
There have been received and
stored here 696, 600 pounds of track
spikes, enough for the track from
this point to Shreveport; lat kegs
of track bolts, sufficient for 81 miles
of track, with others soon to arrive;
26, 900 fish plates, sufficient for 50
miles, with more to arrive as soon
as the river opens from st. Louis.
The. Jennie Campbell, with three
barges, arrived Sunday, bringing
l4OO tons of English steel rails,
which will be discharged within ten
days. This, with the cargo of the
Henry Frank, received in August,
makes 3404 tons, or rails sufficient
to lay 369 miles of the line. These
rails are extra heavy, weighing 600
pounds 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 brOadaxe all along the
entire line.
1t is expected that track-laying
will be commenced between the 18th
and 10th 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
inches-and it is expected that the
guage will be changed hence to
Delta before the fall business fairly
opens. Master Machinist Smith has
had several trucks already changed
to the standard guage, and we
found the lathes, Thursday, busy
changing others.
Large numbers of laborers are
arriving every week, and crossing
the magnificent bridge, going west
in search Of employment.

Itis difficult to tell what the pres

Itis difficult to tell what the pres
ent Congress will do towards reduc
ing the excessive revenue of the
country. Such an endless variety
OF ideas has cropped out regarding
internal revenue taxes, it is wholly
problematical as to what taxes will
be abolished or modified. The larg.
est item of revenue under this sys.
tenn comes from liquors and tobacco.
Each is such an extt nsive interest,
so many are engaged in their pro-
duction and manufacture they can
not apparently agree as to what
shall be done. There is large army
of Office holders whose tenure of
Office is at stake, they will do all
they can to be kept from being
thrown out in the cold. The same
trouble arises In relation to a modi.
flcation of the tariff. 1t does not
look at this time that sweeping re-
ductions will be made although the
people emphatically indicated at the
November elections that q change
must be made. Parties must act In
accordance with the public will es-
pecially when the 'boss7 system has
been wrecked or they must not look
for popular approval. There is not
more than four weeks left for this
Congress. 1t win be well for the
country if in that time the revenue
troubles can be properly adjusted.
To reach that end better work must
ensue than has yet shown itself dur
ing the session. In the mean time
the markets are unsettled from the
uncertainty that hangs over taxes
and duties that will effect merchaE-
disc now on hand.

If we would have the laws held in
due reverence We must Q, Q that their
majesty is not cheapened by q mul.
titude of counterfeits. If we would
give the statute book all the sanction
which the public voice can CON-
mand, if we would make it as su-
preme in authority as are the com.
bined reason, wisdom and sense OF
justice of the State, we must keep
it in close conformity to that reason
and Judgment, neither tagging be-
hind with the effete expedients of
she past, nor rushing in advance
with vaguetheories of future utopias.
No Law should be kept on the statute
book after it has been abrogated By
time and public opinion, and no law
should be put there q day before it
is called for by the broad reason and
clear needs of the State.

A WIFE'S INFIDELITY.
$4,000 Wanted by Broken-Hearted
Husband.

NEW YORK, May 12.-Robert L. Fla
herty, who IL engaged rs a salesman Mt
Herring's Safe Warehouse, Pol Broadway,
has begun proceedings In the Supreme
Court against Joseph X. Slayter, to recover
SO, 900 damages for the alienation OF his
wife's affections. Judge Donahue granted
an order for Slayter's arrest and he was
apprehended bv a deputy sheriff, and In
default Of 5000 bali was committed TO
Jail. Flaherty is thirty-seven years Of age
and = native OF Nova Scotia. His wife, who
is about the same age, was born In New
foundland.. They were married at St.
Johns, \. B., June 8, 1870.
Mrs. Flaherty Is a very handsome woman,
gazing manners. Over yeal ago they
came to this city and took lodgings with
Mrs. Slayter, at the Vienna flats, 202 East
Seventeenth street. Joseph r. Sayter
lived with bis mother In the same house.
His attentions to Mrs. Flsherty soon be-
came marked, and she appeared to be
more pleased with him than with her hus-
band, but he did not think she had been
anything mole than indiscreet. He remon
strated with her, and she promised
amendments. He deemed It best to take
her from the house, and they procured
other apartments .tMrs. Flaherty soon after
had gone to South America:
IuIled TO sleep and harmony once more
prevailed. Last April they moved
TO West Seventy Fourth street.
Nothing happened TO arouse sus.
picion until last Sunday, when the husband
heard that Slayter was still living with his
mother in the city, and had frequently had
meetings with his wife. The evidence of
