)PELOUSAS PARISH OF ST. LANDRY La, MAY 16, 1885,
About a New Railroad,

1t was our intention last week to
mention the fact that a project is on
foot to build another railroad through
this portion of Louisiana. TheIimes-
Democrat of few days since, contains
an article on the subject which encour-
ages the hope and belief that survey
will begin in a short time, say within
two months, by the New Orleans and
Western road, and that within the
present year, work on the line will be
started. The road will run from New
Orleans to some point in Texas, and
will lie as nearly as practicable, equi-
distant between the Texas g. Pacific
and the Southern Pacific roads. The
country through which it must run, is
finely timbered where it is not adapted
to agricnlt ltural purposes. The new ter
rltory to be thus opened up will be rap
idly settled up, and the competing
means of transportation will reduce
rates, so as to make it feasible for
small producers to realize profits on
along the route will be greatly augment
ed and ditfused. They are the small
producers of an agricultural country
who make up the wealth and strength
of any people. Large fortunes accumu-
lated in the hands of the few, only tend
to impoverish the many, but wherever
all classes hare some independent means
of self support, the State is enriched
taxes are collected. and the diffusion of
useful information is guaranteed.
The road of which we are now speak
ing will be continued from Chaimette,
where the work is already going on.
We are not prepared to say whether it
will tonch this place, but do believe it
must pass not far from us.

One Cent Rate
NAMED FOR THE CONFEDERATE RE-
UNION.

As the time approaches for the 81
cnring OF transportation rates to and
from Richmond, where the annual re-
union of Confederate Veterans will be
held at the latter end of next month,
the committee that had been appointed
by the several veteran associations are
diligently trying to get the very
lowest rate possible. These gem
tlemen applied to the various trans
pOrtation companies, receiving what
was really Il very low rate, viz:
one cent a mile, making the trip to and
from Richmond cost something like
500, exclusive of the sleeper accommo-
dations and the necessary expenses of
eating on the journey of about one
thousand miles each way. All these
additional expenditures, it was figured
out, would bring the total cost up to
pretty near $50, quite serious item for
the average Confederate veteran.
Mr.. W. B. Cason, who was appointed
chairman of the transportation COM
mittee, wrote to the commissioner of
the Southern States Passenger Associa-
tion. asking il it wasn't possible to get
a lower rate than one cent q mile. Mr..
Thomas, the commissioner replied this
morning to Mr.. Cason's letter, saying
that it was not possible to secure lower
rates than that mentioned.
Mr.. Cason said this morning that up
to this notice it had been thought that
with say, a $15 rate one way, or a 1926
rate for the round trip, possibly $500
persons, veterans, their wive and
friends. might have gone to Richmond,
but, although he did not know positive
ly, he felt sure that under the ruling of
the commissioner, only a limited at
tendance would be had from this point.

The Legislature.

The Louisiana Legislature met last
Monday pursuant to law, and proceeded

mously elected Spea ker. Mr.. Henry is
a legislator of experience, having been

II. McClendon was elected Secretary

The Committee Of One Hundred.
composed of some of the most substau
tial citizens of New Orleans, submitted
a plan to the opposing political claim
ants, whereby the differences now
threatening the peace of the State
might be averted. The proposition was
accepted by the Combine State Com
mite. but was rejected by the Demo-
cratic State Committee. In their com
munication rejecting the suggestion the
Democratic Committee used express
sions which were deemed not exactly
courteous, and advanced fallacious ar
Rument, whereupon the Committee of
One Hundred reassem bled, and sent the
Democratic State Committee rejoind-
er which while dignitied, was conched
in caustic language, full of expressions
which were to the point, completely
showing up the absurdity of the state
ments of the Democratic State Commit
tee.

The man who deliberately stirs up the
mad passions of his fellow men with a
view of self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, that re-
suits in deeds OF violence, is a foe to
law and order and the enemy to the
peace of society. He who incites to
murder is particeps criminis. There is
no Office in this broad land that can
iecompense for the stain of innocent
blood to reach it, Men should remem-
Der these things, and if conscience be
not dead or a mere human play thing,
they should not test its avenging pow
er by making political differences the
basis of the foulest of human crimes

Education the Test of immigration.

Thee immigration committee of
the SetIte and House of Repre-
sentatives reported favorably bill
to restrict immigration according
to an educational test. Both bills
are quite similar, and the reports
unanimous ; hence there seems to be a
fair prospect of enacting such a meas
ure before the close of the present ses-
sion. The important clause in each
bill provides for the exclusion os "all
male persons between 16 and go years
of age who cannot read anG-nHs!ttte the
English language or some other lam
guage." While the measure is aimed
to protect the interests of labor, it
specially seeks to prevent the iDgress of
illiteracy. The attempt to improve the
quality of citizenship, or to prevent any
accession of population that would
lower the present standard, is COM
mendable. and some advantage would
be gained by the passage of the bill.

Tuesday morning the two Lastrapes

the Lastrapes both opened fire on him.
Some eight or ten shots were fired at
