What n KaIl K1nl Mems.

Our people will soon be called
upon to tax themselves for ten years
10 order to obtain not one but tlDo
railroad lines, thus reaching every
part of the parish and uniting it with
the whole world by the iren ties Of
rapid transportation.
Now, do many Of our citizens real.
izc what q railroad through a coun.
try means. Welt II case they
should not, we will attempt in a few
words, 70 tell them. It means pro
gress for all |. mcan the posi-
hi.,ty Of establishing central sugar
factories and therefore the success
and prosperity Of the farmer by the
sale OF cane by the ton. 1t means
the facility to make and sell ia the
northern markets, secondary pro
ducts, such as Irish potatoes, sweet
potatoes, fruits, Strawberries. game,
fish ana many other things at a re-
numcratlve rate. 1t means mana
fac:ure, by the facilities afforded Cor
obtaining materials. It means hou-
sea built at cheap rate. It means a
great saving in freights. 1t means
increased travel, therefore more
trade. Il means a better price for
cur cattle. It means q cotton seed
oil mill in short, it means prosperity
By the Immensely enhanced value Of
all property. Who will be SO blind
as no; to see it?
The tax is but temporary. The
monies collected will be kept entire,
" secure. The beaefts will be ever
lasting, aud even were not the com
panies to execute the full proposed
programme, enough must be by
them accomplished, before they get
a cent? to place our parish in a posi-
ton beyond compare in Louisiana.
Remember also that the amount
for which We may now tax ourselves
will in que time come back to US
tcnfold while in the meantime we
will have gained a hundred fold in

Last week q meeting Of the Gill

protest against a communication OF the
sentence Of Louis Demarais. This
action the Cnntnsercte5 severely con
demns and characterizes as absurd
and an u~nwarranted reflection upon
the court and board of pardons. We
think our coufrere is decidedly
'hasty in his Judgment. Demarais
had been twice convicted OF murder
and the crime was shown to have
been brutal, unprovoked and utterly
devoid of a single cxtennatlng cir

say no bones are broken and he will be all

less fear of arrest hasten their departure.
Gov. Lowry of Mississippi this morning
issued proclamation and states that he
will extradite all the participants in the
fight and especially Sullivan and Kilrain
and their seconds. Sullivan's fears of ar
rest will probably interfere with the
arrangements for reception and the
champion is being kept secluded. Ar
ranRements are being made to have the
Sullivan party go back to New York by
steamer. The hackers Of the big fellow
are trying to keep him from drinking and
believe this will to him good. Kilrain
