The project Of the Mississippi Central
Railroad VIII be taken up by the Board
Of Mayor and Aldermen at their meeting
this evening, II having been made the
special order Of the day. Although but
little time has been permitted the people
to canvass and discuss the subject,
enough has been ELECTED from them to
prove their hostility to the prayer of the
memorlslists whose paper we gave 10
our readers on Sunday. We flud many
propositions ia substitution for hat pro-
posed by the interested parties, but all
who have written or spoken concerning
1t, unite Ia demanding that nothing
dennite shall be done by the Board
without hEst securing the sanction of
cur citizens, and at least taking such
guarantees from tbs proposed purchasers

shortening the distance to the North

out, Il IL not at all likely that the con-

religiously to be the equals of any
other race. His ideas are feverish
and fanatical upon this subject.
He is trying to put an Ohio theory
in practice in this parish. Mr..
Baldwin is a man of wealth !; he is,
we believe, an honest man, and a
religious man but when a fayorite
idea enters his head IT win never
leave him till death. His old
slouch hat, long tail coat, coarse
breeches and cornfeld shoes, CON
tain more conceit than all of the
dandy beavers and broadcloth of
Broadway. His Pretensions of
ignorance, bad memory and hui
mility, but poorly cover the most
unbOunded self-lOve and an un-
limited confidence In his own iiudg-
ment and opinions. And his son
Johns purse contains the old
mans coin and greenbacks. a
We wish it distinctly understood
that we believe Mr.. Baldwin to be
a strictly honest man, but he takes
the greatest amount of pride in his
peculiarities, his wealth and his old
slouch hat. He would not swap
that hat for the best beaver on
earth. 1t iG a hat after his own
heart, and it has a fellow feeling
with his peculiar head. We think
his school theory and his expert
ment ON the Darby place will prove
a failure but a man who has been
as successful as he In making
will be likely in the end to
coin gold out of almost anything
he touches. But we don't think he
will make much out of his friend,
the Rev. Peel, if he touches him
every hour in the day.

AN INTERESTING TRIAL.
JUDGE McKERALL's COURT-A FREEDMAN
SUES A RADICAL AND WINS. ..... -


Last Saturday we were present
at the trial in which a freedman
attempted to prove that he was
entitled to pay for building nine
hundred and twenty pannels of
fence on the Darby plantation,
now owned by Mr.. Baldwin, lately
of Ohio. -.
The negro proved, by another
negro witness which Mr.. Baldwin
(under oath) pronounced an hon
est, good man, that Baldwin told
them to make a rough fence out of
the old fencing, turning old posts
with rotten bottoms up-end down,
and cutting saplings to supply the
places of deficiency of pieux. The
negro swore that he told Mr.. BALD
win that such a fence would be
worthless, that if he had a planta-
ton he would not have such o
fence on it; but that Mr.. B. told
him that that kind of fence would
do him, and to build it as he di-
rected. ..-... ............ ............,
1t was also proved by two of
Mr.. BaldWin's witnesses, colored,
that it was worth twenty cents a
pannel to cut the blackberry vines,
brush and bushes away to prepare
for building the fence, though Mr..
b. thought he could make seventy
five dollars a day at that price, in !
clearing away vines.
Mr.. Mr. i Bal Baldwin could not remem-
Der that he had made any contract
with the negroes to build the fence
when he found them at work on
the Job, and could not remember
the conversation he had with the
witness in regard to turning the
posts up-end down, and using sap /
ings for pieux. The dispute had |
been referred to two negroes, one
of whom decided that Mr.. B. !
should pay twenty cents pannel,
and the other agreed that it was
worth but fifteen cents. Mr.. Bald
win could not remember that he
had agreed to leave it to referees.
He said he did not examine the
work till ne had paid them one
and ten dollars in cash,
and after he saw how bad it was
he concluded not to receive it. He
said he went to New Orleans about
.he time the work was commenced,
mat he was short Of funds, and /,
went to set some money that his
ION john had sent him from Ohio \

wanted, and he was afraid to keer
money on hand for fear he might
be robbed. He said this was the
first lawsuit he had ever had In
his life. He regretted the necessi-
| tY which compelled him to engage
m this, but It was to avoid being
swindled in future. He spoke d
his lecturiug the black people on
temperance and sobriety, and his
desire for their improvement and
elevation. --
Mr.. Baldwin acted as his own
lawyer. He plead ignorance of the
law and usages of courts of JUS
tice, and a rather doubtful mem
DRY, but. claimed that he was an
honest man and only wanted what
was Just. He spoke In the most
afectionate manner of the freed
men and of his desire to see them
elevated. His favorite idea about
curing them from intemperance is
to lecture them on the evils of
strong drink, and on several Occa-
sions he has expressed his conf
dence in being able to make them
honest by reading the ten COM
mandments to them every morning.
We have not seen as much
dancing-master pohteness shown
to negroes since we were born, as
Mr.. Baldwin showed on the Ocoa-
sion of his trial. Had the cloud
of negro Witnesses and spectators
present been learned priests,
Judges, doctors and lawyers, more
delicate Difference could not have
been shown them. In fact, he APP
peared to humble himself as if In
the presence of a superior race.
The Rev. Peel Garlic was near
him, mute as a cat in chimney
but at times looking anx-
ious, fearing that his colored
might get some Radical
dimes. He didn't want " Caesar to
get the things that were CRsar's - "
in that case. .- .."
Mr. A. Il. Tucker defended Cg-
sar, or maybe his name is Henry.
He brought forward the evidence
we have already referred to, and
showed by Mr., Baldwin's own adj
missions that the witnesses were
and out of his own mouth
he condemned him. He showed
hat Mr.. Baldwin had simply over
reached himself made a bad bar
gain with the negroes; /; gave them
9very7 advantage over him I'M
,tructed them to make bad fence
1ut of miserable and scanty mate
'ials, and then refused to accept
he work. Mr.. Tucker reminded
Mr.. Baldwin that he must stand
Up to his contracts with negroes
airly and squarely; make plain
let them understand his
wishes, and then pay them what !
70 agrees to. He told him that
lis lectures ON temperance and
norality are not a legal tender for
abor with the negroes, that green
'acks are much more satisfactory
D them. Mr.. fuckers argument
Tas sound, respectful and to the
'oint He indulged in some pleas
ntry, which occasionally brought
dry grim from the defendant, but

ions to the remarks.
