The Picayune's intelligent staff cor
respondent, Mr.. Hardy Fl. Hargrove,
suggests the extension of the Louis
lana Western or Crosse Tete railroad
from its present terminus, % miles
west OF Port Allen, to Opelousas, and
thence to deep water at some point in
Cameron parish. This is certainly an
important link in the Southwestern
railroad system, and will be still more
important if Northeastern road is
built at the same time from Baton
Rouge to Meridian, Miss or to some
other railroad center in that direction.
These two roads will no doubt be the
first lines constructed whenever rail
road building is resumed in the South
west, and they will be valuable feeders
to the commerce and prosperity of
Baton Reuge. B. r. Truth.

Beauregard.

The death OF Gen. Beauregard re-
moves from the world of the living the
last really great and commanding figure
of the war between the states. He was
one of the full generals of the Confed-
crate army and probably had not a su-
perior among them, but q fatal chain Of
circumstances followed him which de-
MED him the opportunities that his ge-
MUS merited and his ambition coveted.
He had thoroughly mastered the art of
war. His matchless defense of Charles
ton and his brilliant victory at Manas
sas proved it and the world at once re-
cognized in him the greatest military
engineer Of the age and field com
mander without superior. Superseded
at Manassas, transferred to the vest as
death of Albert Sidney Johnston on the
glorious field OF Shiloh from a bed of
illness, the chain of fatalities followed
him from the firing of the first gun at
Fort Sumter until the surrender with
Joseph E. Johnston in North Carolina.
The south mourns him, however, as one
of her brayest and best and history will
accord him the position that his genius
merits and commands.-Monro Tele-

BOUGHCOT'S CASE
Continued Until this After
noon.
Ruff, the Intended Victim, Identifies
the Prisoner.-Theorles of the
Prosecution and Defense.

The preliminary hearing OF John No
bles alias Boughcot, charged with the
attempted murder Of William Ruff, was
again continued yesterday, this time
until 2 o'clock this afternoon, that the
prisoner may be given an opportunity
10 procure counsel.
Ruff, the victim, was brought to town
yesterday morning, and his appearance
indicates his near approach to the here
after week ago last Sunday night. He
is yet hardly recognizable. lie fully
Unidentified Mobiles as his midnight as
sailant. There was brought along also
as evidence the club welded by the
woud-be murderer and gunny sack,
which is likely to be fully as damaging
TO him as the club was TO Ruff. On his
arrest Mobiles accounted for the blood
found upon his person by the fact that
he had carried some fresh beef in that
gunny sack. 1t is some what remark
able circumstance that though particles
of tallow were found in the sack, prov
ing that il had been receptacle Tor
peel, IL Is 4ullS llCC liOu any "PPS"i
ance OF blood.
The club is a green cottonwood bud-
geon weighing about six pounds and
knotted, The violence with which 1t
was welded is attested by the TACT that
four inches OF the heavy end was broken
sheer off and the remaining portion
spit distance OF nearly loot. The
projection from which branches had
i been cut off at distance OF from hal
inch to an inch are pounded nearly HAT
evidently by contact with Rufus skull
and the club is spattered with blood
along half its length.
The defense will be an abb. Mobiles
| will prove that he left Rufus place IL
| the afternoon OF the previous Saturday
riding one OF Ruff's horses, and he vii
also be able to prove that that horse
remained in a corral here all OF Sunday
night. Whether he will try to show by
eve witnesses his own presence her'
that night is not known.
The territory will try to prove BY
other witnesses than Ruff that TIT
prisoner rode out TO the ranch MARI
accompanied by colt and that he wa
seen returning TO town some time ate
midnight. An attempt Will also D
made to show that early on the evening
OF Sunday Mobiles was broke, wherea
at the time of his arrest he had certain
SIS bills, which was the denomination o
the bills taken from Rufus pocket.
