TIE OPELOUsAs RAILROAD COMPANY I'M.
BR0GLIO.

There is now pending before the United
States District Court in this city case, which
both in the amount of money at stake and
the importance of the interests involved, is
such one as seldom occurs. The Opelousas
Railroad Company has now line in operation
from Algiers to Brashear City. Their charter
gives them right to extend it to the Sabine
river but, although they have for years been
endeavoring to raise funds sufficient to make
the extension, they have hitherto failed, and
the only route to Texas has been to take
boat either directly from this port or from
Brashear City. Now, the Importance to New
Orleans ola through road to Texas is very great.

the prairies, could, were there rail transporta-

sent North and West. Then, too, the dry
goods, the hardware, all the supplies of the
great and growing Lone Star State, would be
sent to them from Europe and the North ria
New Orleans. There are others, too whom
the completion of the road would benefit
The West wants the beef of Texas were there
a road open, it would be sent to New Orleans,
thence up the river to Cairo, and thence uia
the Illinois Central Railroad and its connec-
tons, all over the West. The directors of the
Illinois Central Railroad, being thinking men,
have perceived this, and being, besides, men
of enterprise, have devised ways and means to
get the road from here to Texas finished.
Appeals to the directors and stockholders of
the road were vain, for the means were lack
ing. Several negotiations to sell or lease the
road, with the promise of its early compile
ton, to Northern capitalists had failed There
was but one thing to be done. The road must
be forced upon the market, sold for what it
could bring, and then there would be fair
prospect that with such start the new board

A FURTHER sUccEss.-At the request OF few
friends interested in the Texas trade, we have re-
Gently incorporated the weekly cattle market re-
port of this city in our weekly Prices Current.
This innovation has been followed by appeals to
publish weekly reports Of wool and lumber, and
unless we can very materially expand our semi
weekly and weekly letter sheet, it will become q
subject of importance what to leave out in order
TO retain the most essential matter. In our iscue
OF to-day. however, viii be found fair specimen
OF What may be expected hereafter, and il any
one can be found to complain of its contents. we
shall be pleased to hear his objections.

THE SUNDAY CREscENT.-The Sunday Ores
mNT, in all respects, is paper which we offer
% creditable to the literature and journalistic
enterprise of New Orleans. Filled with the
latest news by telegraph and mail, with in
teresting local events, with a miscellany of
literary contributions original and selected,
and with the latest financial and commercial
intelligence, it is paper which we
offer to the public with entire con-
ndence in its being acceptable. The
Sunday CRESCENT being carefully and leisurely
read, is a paper the advantages of advertising
In which are SO apparent that nothing further
on the subject need be said.

Complimentary tickets of invitation, in
closed in friendly note from VIM. II. Wall,
Esq, secretary of the Seymour Knights,
remind us that on next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evenings the display of Democratic
banners takes place at Masonic Hall To see
again those gorgeous insignia and emblems
which, during the spirited campaign just
closed, were time and again borne through
the crowded streets, lit with the glare of
torches-and, seeing these, to live over again,
in memory, the excitement, the enthusiasm,
the hope of that time now past this is what
the occasion promises. We have no doubt
that Masonic Hall will be crowded nightly.

The Republican says that nearly all the in
telligent Germans of this city sympathize
with the Republican party. If that is the
case, if we may judge by the 276 votes cast
for Grant at the recent election, the Radical
party of New Orleans must be exclusively
composed of Germans. In point of fact, how
ever, we do not believe that dozen Germans
in this city voted the Radical ticket.

We learn from the Radical papers that Mrs.
Pope is going to bring suit against the town
of Franklin for damages growing out of the
murder of her husband. No humane person
can fail to sympathize with this bereaved lady
in the terrible affection which has overtalzen
her; but public sympathy will be much modi-
fed should she permit herself to be made the
instrument of vindictive political prosecu-
ton designed to cast discredit upon whole
community, and through that community on
the people of the State. AS to the legal as
pect Of the case, it is entirely absurd. No
lawyer in his senses would bring such suit
with any idea of getting Judgment, and a
judge who would entertain it ought to be in
terdicted for lunacy.
