It is apparent that Mr.. Cleveland re-

and received several callers. He held
his usual reception In the East room.
He was agreeable to about sixty people
there. Col. Lamont has no especial
light to throw on the situation. He
regards the thing as settled, though he
had no information beyond what he
got from the press dispatches. These
indicated for Harrison in New York q
majority of from 1000 to 10000. He
said he knew nothing of the Facts, and
had not heard from Senator German
or Chairman Brtce. He was not
especially disposed to speculate on the
cause of the result, Money he men,
toned as one thing. He was surprised
at Kings county. In the State the
graveyard vote was out. He declared
that Gov. Hill had done all he could
for the ticket, and that the votes he
got that Cleveland did not were from
the Republican liquor interests, and
not to be controlled by any one.
Il He did not think that the result in
the city pointed to much trading. The
Colonel, like Mr.. Cleveland, did not
permit his disappointment to show on
his face. He would not give out any

THE ROAD TO BASTROP.

Last week the. Telegraph animad-
verted at some length upon Mr..
Blanks proposition 10 build q railroad
from Monroe to Bastrop and gave the
enterprise its unqualified endorsement
upon what 1t then considered and
now. considered TO be good and valid
reasons, and we think II voiced the sem
timents of majority of our people. If
not, we hardly know what else to say
to this Intelligent community in behalf
of the enterprise but we will again refer
to IL IL, to no better purpose than 10
keep 1t agttated.a .'";!ha.aafa. 3 ...' .,
Unquestionably the business men Of
Monroe realize the fact that something
must be done not only to stop the de-
cline In our business but 10 restore that
which we have lost and even surpass
that Of our palmiest days.
Our property holders must realize also
that something must be- done to restore
the value Of property and put tenants
in their house,. s"l a..I .lla
An are agreed upon the fact that
what we need to do this is a railroad.

have been for the past several years
holding out all the inducements in our
power 10 get foreign capitalists TO come
here and build a railroad for us, but in
return for all we have done we have Sc.
cured only gigantic promises and no
practical results.

The result has been definitely de-
cided in all but some eight or ten dis
tricts, where the majorities will be
small. 1t Is probable that the changes
in these will Offset each other and leave
the Democrats a majority. This may
be increased by returns from outlying
precincts; but, on the other hand, II
must be admitted that it may be de-
creased or altogether swept away. The
chances are, however, in favor of a
Democratic majority in the House, but
of phenomenally small proportions.

F.. II. Pitt, Tennesseean, while in
Louisville, KY, on Monday last, and
sitting in front Of the BrideweIl Hotel,
got into a difficulty with a lightning
rod man named Mcdaniel, and was
shot twice, ono bullot entering his
groin and the other going entirely
through his head. 1t was first though,
that the latter wound was necessarily
fatal, but about the time the doctors
reached that conclusion the patient
startled them by sitting up in bed and
addressing those around III perfectly
rational way. The doctors pursuaded
him to lie down. and began to make
another examination, and while they
were probing straight through his
brain cells, some one in the room spoke
of the election, when Pitt remarked
that he would bet $50 that Harrison
was elected, and wanted 10 put up the
money. The doctors say that it Is q
queer case, as ordinarily the wound
would kill man instantly. He may
recover.

For some weeks there have been
iutimaiions and rumors of the extern
sion OF the North & South railroad
from Gibbs to Natchttochee, La. Such
an extension would be of material
benefit to Homer and surrounding
country, as 1t would give US more
direct Communication with New Or
leans than we at present enjoy. About
the proposed extension we have very
little Information, but the following,
taken from the New Ers, q paper
published at Gibbs, reads, very much
like it was a fixed certainty. Says the
New Era: .- .,.,-.. -,.... 1T Ser,
"We are assured that work will soon
commence at both ends Of the railroad be-
tween Natchitoches and Gibsland, and be
pushed rapidly to comp1etion; indeed, we
believe work has commenced on the Match

is bound to be . railroad centre and manu-

COURTESY OF THE CLOTH.
More Good Fellowship Needed Among
the Clergy.

New York Tribune: Sid II prOmi-
nent Clergyman to me the other day
"Why is IT that there is not ln1re good
fellowship auu genuine esprit do corps
among the clergy? As profession the
ministry is wonderfully like other pro-
tessious in its jeaiousips and little cabnls
and factions. Here AIN, for instance,
the pastor of a large city church ; amt
yet seldom or never have an oppOrtu-
nifty to meet my brethren of the ether
denominations, or even OF my own de-
nomination., except officially. TO be sure
It may be said we are all very busy. but
that Il .esn't account for our lack of In.
tsrest In each other, much less for the
petty aud unworthy spirit which VIZ
gy man. Here Is case that happen to
know Of: A certain clergyman r.csn'ly
became involved In scandal, although,
as 1t afterward turned out, he was 10.
nocent. And while be was Sighting
against great odds for what was dearer
to him than life itself, q brother clergy
man of the same denomination came
to the investigating committee and
insinuated he could, il he would, tell
certain things about the accused clsrk5-
mans past career that would make the
presumption of guilt very strong. He
had heard some old wives tale, which
with spite that was worthy OF q mali
cious woman, he exaggerated aud doled
out in order to ruin brother clergyman
whom he regarded as a pulpit rival. L
admit that such fragrant cases are cou,-
raratively rare, but the pity of it Is that
they ever occur at all. Then notice
how the clergy elbow each other as can
didates for q desirable parish. The can
didating business is bad in every way,
but one of the worst features fs the
temptation it puts in the way of cler-
gymen to secretly stab their brethren
10 the back. And it Is 80 easy to do It
without apparently violating the pro-
prieties. "Oh, yes, Brother Meiiifiuous
is good preacher, and 1t Is q great pity
that he is inclined to heresay; or,
Brother Pastorious Is good, earnest
man, and it is a shame that people
leave the church when he beRius to
preach;' or, DR.. Orthodox means we'll,
but really, you know, he has not par
ticle of magnetism So it goes. To-
stead of pouring the balm of Christian
charity over a brothers. faillnRs, we
distil homeopathic drops of vitroil upon
them, and then we have the audsctiy
to plume ourselves on having spoken
the truth in love. Such cut-throat
policy is bad enough in any profession,
In the ministry it is a crime. No Won
der so many of the laity fall 10 respect
the clergy when we thus fall to respec.
ourselves and each other"

They sit, and never notice how
