The Republican State Committee sums up
the case exactly In its last address to the Re-
publicans of New-YOrk. The Democratic
forces, utterly demOralized by their defeats in
Ohio, Maine and Vermont, are now in full re-
treat, and all the Republicans have to do to
secure a great victory in this State and Nation
next month is to follow up their advantages
by working faithfully until election day
The admonition to look out for fraud is timely
The Democrats are desperate and doubtless
will resort to trickery wherever they think
they can succeed: and what they don't know
about election frauds isn't worth knowing.

V1cKsBURG, MISS, Oct. 3.-John
Scott, president, and Frank S.
Bond, one Of the trustees of the
Queen and Crescent Line, arrived
here from Shreveport last night.
This morning Mr.. Scott, Master
Mechanic Meehan and John B.
Mattingly boarded the tug Joe
Seay and visited The Louisiana and
Mississippi shores, tho localities
where engineers have recommend
ed inclincs constructed for trans
fer OF unbroEcn through trains
both passenger and freight, from
Cincinnati to Shreveport. Mr.
Scot! expresses himself as being
highly pleased with business d
the :. 5. and ?. divisions, ard
says it IS fully up TO his oxpccta-
tons, and that thc crossing Of the
Mississippi river at this point is
the only lacking link in his entire
system. lie states that timber
and other material for inclines are
being got out as rapidly as posi-
BE, and the low stage of river Of
fcrs engineers excellent facilities
to get eli the information and re-
liable data in regard 10 the bed Of
the river necessary.
The change in the river here,
caused by the cutoff, has been q
great dotriment TO them as well as
TO the commercial interests of the
city. lIr. Scott seems very friend
ly disposed toward our city, and
states that as soon as the transfer
is perfected, which will be shortly,
freight for all points on the V. s.
and ?. Division will be received
at the depot here and transferred
without extra charge. Passengers
for all points on the same road
purchasing tickets here, will also
be transferred without extra
charge. This transfer boat, which
viii accommodate six passenger
coaches or twelve freight box cars,
will be here by the time the in-
clines are completed. He also
states that the road bed on the V.
S. and p. road, between Delta and
Monroe, will be raised above high
water mark as early as practicable.
In speaking Of the city properly,
he says, as soon as the lines and
transfer are all complete, and the
entire line of his road in complete
working order he will build a pas.
senger depot here that will be 6
credit to the city as well as to his
road.-T-D.
