speculation in regard to the railway POSSIBLE
ties, OF, rather, the railway destinies of this
continent. There is no question that, through
sectional and other illegitimate Influences, the
present route of the Pacific railroad was
traced without consulting either climate or
geography. 1t is condemned by nature, and
the verdict of commerce viii at length ratify
and enforce this judgment. Nature has
plainly indicated the thirty-second parallel,
and lines diverging therefrom, as destined
courses of railway enterprise from the Missis-
sippi Valley to the Pacific coast San Diego
and Mazatlan are natural termini on one
side, and New Orleans is a natural terminus
on the other. Draw direct line from New
York to Hong Kong, the Chinese metropolis
of foreign commerce, and it will be found to
diverge from the fortieth TO the thirty-second
parallel, until, before leaving the United
States, it is nearer to the latter. Draw a
series of lines from New York to the Indian
ocean, to Java, in Sumatra, to Sydney and
Melbourne in Australia, to Nelson, in New Zea-
land, and they will be found to diverge from
tie fortieth parallel more and steeply, until
they strike the thirty-second parallel IN prox-
unity to New Orleans; and, proceeding thence
through Texas and Mexico, they strike the
Pacific not far from Mazatlan. The belt OF
country traversed by these lines, besides offer
ing shorter route, and besides presenting
CONFORMATION of surface much better adapted
to railroading than the belt through which the
present Pacific railroad is traced, possesses a
climate which is a guarantee against such OBJ
structions from frost and snow as will neces-
sarily be incidental to railroad passage over
the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of eight
thousand feet Every consideration of econ
omy points to the more southern route, and
the instincts of commerce will at length lead
successful enterprise in the sane direction,
and introduce this city to the imperial pros
perity which nature and time have in store
for her.

THE CITY ELECTION.


in consequence of the shameless, impudent
and disgraceful frauds committed by the
vagrant and mendicant carpet-baggers, the
Democratic majority in this city and parish is
reduced far below the figures at first an
bounced. Nevertheless We have enough to
carry through our whole ticket, including, we
believe, even those candidates from whom
votes were drawn of by independent COM
petitors The official vote appears in this
mornings CRESCENT.
The carpet-baggers are incensed beyond
measure by the loss of this city and parish,
and they threaten congressional Intervention,
and even the interference of the new legisla-
ture to deprive the Democrats of the substan-
tial fruits of their victory. With these inge-
NOUS creatures there. is no such thing as
losing an election. If cheating at the ballot
box does not suffice, they are quite ready with
Legislative expedients to remedy an inconve-
nient deficiency Of votes. They fancy that
they have an indefeasible right to the offices,
and that the machinery of governments con-
trived for no other purpose then to get their
opponents out and put themselves in. We
understand that as a prelude to the action
which they contemplate, they are getting up
afidavits charging fraud on the Democratic
party. So unparalleled piece of effrontery
surpasses even the actual developments of
vagrant and mendicant impotence. For the
pickpocket to accuse his victim of larceny, or
the burglar to charge his captor with robbery,
would be mildly absurd in comparison with
this ridiculous exhibition Of simulated indig-
nation. Everybody knows that the carpet
baggers can procure as many afidavits as they
desire; but everybody knows that their afiida-
Wits are simply SO many bare-faced perjuries.
They played the affidavit game so boldly at
the polls that they think they can resort to it
effectively to carry an election which they
have already lost Afidavits are so cheap
that they are drug in the radical
market. They can be had by the carpet
baggers for the asking, and, doubtless, a
bushel basket of them will be ready in two
days, issued, probably, by some facile instru-
ment Of carpet-baggery. Impudent and ridi-
culous, however as this contemplated expedi-
ent may be, it is incumbent on the Democratic
party TO be prepared for it. The Central
Committee should, at once, take means to ex-
pose the fagitious frauds of which the ''trooly
loil carpet-baggers were guilty on Friday
and Saturday last. These frauds were so
openly and impudently perpetrated that there
will be no difficulty in procuring testimony
concerning them. We suggest that the COM
mittee Immediately take this matter in hand
and call on all citizens cognizant of frauds
committed, or attempted, by the radicals, to
come forward and make their statements In
this manner we can overwhelm the carpet
baggers, if not with shame, at least with con-
fusion.

Smith, will endeavor to show how naturally has
grown up out of abolitionism, present republican

thor of late treatise on the history of the negro,
will be coinbatted by the Doctor, who will also urge
upon the attention of his hearers the absolute ne
cessity for preserving pure public sentiment,
jecting all the wild isms now flooding society.
Forty cents will admit to the lecture, and tickes
can be obtained at the book and music stoors, or
at the door Of the hall. The last Of this course

quarter dollar. bearing rather strange device on
each side with Hebrew Inscriptions round the
border. The Hebrew characters on each side,
when translated read. Jerusalem" and The

thoroughly familiar with Jewish history and the
Hebrew language says this ancient relic was
coined about twenty-five hundred years ago, in
jerusalem, in the time of the Maccabees, and
about one hundred years before the reign Of
Herod.
The above paragraph appeared in the CREs'
CENT yesterday, and attracted the attention of Mr.
E. Levy, who called on us and exhibited dupli-
cate of the interesting coin above described,
which he brought with him from Europe. The
coin is roughly shaped amalgam of silver and
lead, having on one side the picture of an olive
tree, and on the reverse an altar with smoke as
cending from it. The inscriptions are almost pre-
cisely those given above, an error of transla-
ton making the only difference. Those DESTROYS
of seeing the coin may call on Mr.. Levy at Hof.

The ELECTION IN PLAQUEAnNEs. written
communication has been received at head
quarters from large number of citizens of
Plaquemines parish showing the informal
manner in which the recent elections were
conducted there. At Pointe-a-la-Hache the
three commissioners were all negroes one
being also candidate for justice of the peace.
The ballot box was kept unlocked and I'M
sealed, and number of negroes armed with
clubs, held possession of the polls, examining
the tickets presented by voters, and refusing
the admission of any but those bearing the
names of radical candidates. And these bal
lots when cast were not marked as required
by military orders. At Taliaferro precinct an
aged freedman named Gabriel Stevens, was
dragged from his horse by the negro ruffians,
and threatened with death, but was subse-
quently released with the remark ''Let him
go, now but let him be spotted" Another
negro named George Polk, desiring to vote
the Democratic ticket, was driven off.
The white citizens of the parish further
represent that under the present excitement
existing there among the negroes, life and
property are insecure, and ask for the pres
ence of detachment of troops to prevent
the preparation of open outrage.
