WASHINGTON PARISH NOTES
EDIToR ST. TAMMANY FARMER:

Since our last visit to Franklin
ton, we notice marked improve
ment in the general appearance O
the town. Many of the old, dilapi.
dated buildings have been repaired
and now present a comfortable ap-
pearance. The old Academy will
soon be thoroughly repaired and a
good school established. The citi-
zens of the town and vicinity have
subscribed something over $1,000
for the purpose of supporting a
tirst-class school there next year.
The democratic mass meeting,
held ut f'ranklinton. last Saturday,
was the largest ever held in the
parish. Mr.. J. Z. Bilboa was elect
ed Chairman, and Rev. j. j. Lovett,
Secretary. Addresses were deliv-
cred by Hon. Z. G. w. Ellis and
Jos. A. Reid, Esq, after which the
following delegates were elected:
To the State Convention-John
r. Wood, Chas. D. OFT and S. r.
Thomas. The delegates are unin-
structed, but they are all pro.
nounced McEnery men. A motion
to instruct for Nichols was voted
down.
To the District Convention-I. |
n. Varnado. Frank Brown and G. |
D. OFT. They We're instructed to
vote for JAS. NJ. Thompson for Dis
trict Judge, and S. D. Ellis, for

Andrew Stewart. who was out on
bail, for having stabbed Daniel
Eel, has been rearrested, on the
charge of murder, Ezell having died
from the effects Of his wound. The
examination of Stewart was COM
menced on the 9th inst, but ad-
ourned to await the arrival of alb
sent witnesses. Stewart is in jail.
The new bridge across the Bogue
Chitto has been completed, and is a
credit to the parish.
With reference to the moral i'm ,
'royement of the town, it is simply
wonderful. Only few years since

TIE NOTE.

When Gabriel got back TO the
embassy it was about ten o'clock,
and he found the familiar figure OF
Casse Tete waiting for him bolt
upright.
Casse Tete's face was ornamented
with a strip Of Black sticking-plas-
ter that ran down one cheek, exact
ly opposite to the scar that divided
his nustache on the other side, and
Gabriel observed
"Ah, Casse Tete, did you catch
that to-day about Rossbach and
Seidlitz powder ?"
Casse Tete grinned.
"The fortune Of war, my captain.
These cursed Prussians never fight
fair. I'd rut him down, aud by all
the rules he was dead man, when
he gave me that slash. 1t is IA mere
nothing, but was so angry at his
unprofessional way Of fighting that
| spitted him as he lay" .-.
"And il he really dead now ?"
Eyes, my captain, and he won't
tell any more lies about Seidlitz
powders. Your honor had a little
affair, too | see."
"Yes how did you know" m
"IIeard it from the cOachman,
my captain. These coachman can't
keep a secret. There was ladies'
maid here this morning for your
honor, who left this note"
Gabriel started. He could not
help it. Then Case Tete, with
furtive wink OF great slyness, pro-
duced from the recessess of his
pockets suceessively tObacco-box,
an old black pipe, red silk hand
kerchief that was rapidly turning
brown, and finally a small white
note which Gabriel instantly pounc-

sENATE.-After some routine work the
senate took up the tariff bill
md made considerable pro-
,ress thereon. Afterwards there
was an executive session, and the following
appointments were confirmed: Everett B.
Sanders, receiver of public moneys, Wausau.
Wis; John w. Clark, OF Michigan, agent
for the Indian ofthe Colorado River agency,
Arizona. Postmasters: e. 8. Brainerd, What

HousE.-Joseph E. Taylor took the oath
as representative from the Sixteenth Ohio
district, to succeed the late Representative
UpdegraR. The bill amending the act reg.
ulating the removal of causes from state to
federal courts was discussed at length aud
finally passed.
After the disposition of the court bills in
the house recently, the war claim OF Massa-
chusetts was taken up. It involves about
100000 expended in harbor defences In
1862 and for which the state now asks to be
reimbursed. Bragg of Wisconsin and Hol-
man held that It was not properly q war
claim, and the Massachusetts delegation
solemnly moved over to The den.ocratic
side TO argue the case.
Morse, The Boston clothing man, asked
Holman one or two questions, the replies
to which SO upset him that he contented
himself with chewing bad cigar, q, usual.
The contest resulted in favor of the econem-
lists of the house, who struck the enacting
clause from the bill and thus killed 1t.
The ways and means committees tariff
bill was reported. The judiciary commit
tee reported in the case of the contingent
representative from Nebraska holding ma
jors, the contingent IN question, RESPONSIBLE
for Misrepresentation which induced the
COMMITTEES, during the former session of this
congress, to make report in his favor.

A Human Elephant.

During the war, the treasury depart.
ment had an elephant on its hands in
the person Of brother Of the famous
John Brown. He Was a harmless, garru.
lous old man, who had been detailed to
almost every bureau, and dismissed from
each as incompetent and insubordinate.
his delight was to stand in a corridor and
pour stream of talk upon any one who
would listen to him.
He was employed at one time in the
Office of the light house board, of which
Brown had the habit Of sitting with bis
feet elevated upon table even in the
presence of his official superiors.
He was demonstrated with, and told
that he ought, at least. to resume a de-
cent position when Admiral Shubrick en-
tered the room.
II don't see why should" he an
swered; "the admiral don't take down
his feet when I come in!"
Once Admiral Shubrick, desiring to
send him out with q communication,
asked him..
"Mr. Brown, do you know where the
navy department is?"
"No," answered Brown.
"Do YOU know where the war depart
ment is?'

"Do you know where Wilder's build

The Railway foreclosures in 1872, &C.
oording to the Railway Age Of Chicago,
numbered sixteen, with total mileage
of 897 1-2 miles, and represented by $780,
1880 of capital and $20, PCS, 900 of bonds
and floating debt. With two exceptions
the roads sold under these foreclosures
were short lines, ranging from five to
sixty miles. The Age shows by sum-
mary Of forced sales in seven years, that
273 lines, measuring 23,79l miles, and
representing invested capital of 81 ,426,-
9s2, OO0-twenty per cent. of the present
mileage in the country, and nearly
twenty-five per cent. Of the total in
vestment in railway enterprises in the
United States-have been passed
through bankruptcy, foreclosure and re-
organization. The moral Of the above is
according to the Age. that railway build
ing and railway financering must be
conducted with greater prudence, or the
history of disaster will repeat itself.
There IS room and need for building
thousands of miles of railway every year,
but there is no room for parallel or pure
ly speculative roads, which the bushes
of the REGION to be traversed does not
Justify. Lot not capitalists invoke their
own ruin by reckless enterprises, and
meantime, also let not the people who
receive the benefit of the investments of
capital prevent it from receiving q fair
return by inspiring unjust and ungener-
GUS legislation. An era of railway FORE
closures means an era of disaster to
every other interest.
