Porter and the Census.

Porter and the Census.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-Porter has put in
q good many hours trying to convincs the
public that he has no intention of resigning
his position at the head Of the census bu-
reau. and has sndeavored further to satisfy
his superiors in Office that the stories SO
frequently printed relative to the inaccu-
rate census he has taken are all bosh.
Porter will have q hard time in disprov-
ing the charges against the census bureau.
There is no one in Washington at all fam
iliar with Porter's conduct of the bureau
who is not fully aware that the statistics
gathered for the eleventh census are glar-'
ingly inaccurate and might just as we'll not
have been gathered. Porter says to-day
that his work will be completed within the
next year. Possibly this is true. but if the
next congress investigates the work already
lone it is not possible that Porter will re-
main to complete this work.

This sketch is for the thoughtful-for
christian meditation and action. Circum-
stances and incidents are live factors to
direct us in the paths of duty and human
ity. In the Rapides Jail on Sunday night
an unfortunate young man, of noble birth
and grand parentage-immolated himself.
Self destruction is sometimes relief.
The alteration of mind from which
he was suffering and for which he was
placed there, could not have been the
cole cause of suicide. His pride must
have revolted at the subjected association
of felons without sufficient cause, as he
only short while previous broke down
barriers in an attempted escape.
He was insane. not a felon-but placed
in the same building with felons, because
the State of Louisiana had no place to
care for him. The State of Louisiana,
with her present resources is not able to
protect her charities--yet there are peo-
pie who are writing and canvassing the
State, claiming christianity, and arroga-
ting sponsorship for the entire people to
defeat the charities of the State in OBJ
tanning 81, 250, 900 per annum from finan-
cial company who propose to continue
business by paying this license. Oh !!
memories of the past facts of the pres
ent, and the unseen OF the future Why
are some of aIir people so holy!

General Manager G A. Gardner,
of the Natchez, Red River & Texas
Railroad, regards it as foregone con
c!nsion that that road will at an early
day be extended to Alexandria, if not
as standard gauge road, at least as a
barrow gauge. All the new ties that
are now being put in place Of old ones
are of standard gauge lengths, and
the other improvements that are being
made contemplate such gauge. 1t
IS to be hoped that the extension will
be made at an early day, as we are
strongly inclined to think that it will
encourage, if it does not assure, the
building of another line from Natchez
towards the East into Alabama and
Georgia, q contamination most de-
voutly desired by all our citizens who
are anxious to see competing line
enter Natchez.- NatcheS Democrat.
