Especial Correspondence of the Alexandria Ca

RICHMOND, VA, March 1.-Opponents Of
an extra session affirm that several railroad
lobbyists are aiming TO get this further
time In order to have time to force their
schemes through. IL Is hoped that such
reports are unfounded, for it would be UNI
fortunate this late In the session for any
thing OF this kind to be introduced into
the reform Legislature. The lobbyist Is a
dangerous foe to the liberties OF the .peo-
pie. This In evidenced In the proceedings
OF the Malone Legislature.

To the Lake Charles Echo:
have noticed several interesting
communications in the ECHo, of late
and / fully agree with Tacitas that
our PubliC school system needs re-
modelling, and l think that but few
other questions are more in need and
more deserving of tho attention of
oar Lawmakers than the public school
system. / fally agree with the Echo
that the .pOniteRtisry lease shoald be
abolished, and j think that some
means shOulh be found to deal with
sush .InGDOpOlies as the Louisisna
State Lottery aHd the penitentiary
lease.
Last, but by 10 means least among
tho Important questions. which shogld
have The attention Of our DRxt I.egis.
lsture is the question Of supervision
Of railroad Companies and laws regu-
lAtlng the management of SANG. The
arrogance Of the railroad companies
and their utter disregard Of the rights

questions.

The place takes its name by rsason of
the large, genial, ahospitsble fsmily Of
.ViOeents, who -haNe always -reSicsd
there, and everything honorable, 60
ciable, hOspltable and charitable is so
intimate with tho elIsracteristics Of this
family that the very name itself, car
ries with it all the associations of
these sentiments. Though the name

Moss, Cliftons, SallierS, Broussards,

Eho all deserve honorable mention for
