The OPEIoUsAs RAILROAD AGAIN SuEp.-
A reference to our local columns will show
that although the Opelousas Railroad Com
pany has escaped one difficulty by Judge Du-
rells decision in the case of Tucker vs.. the
Opelousas Railroad Company, it has but
avoided Scylla to fall into Charybdis. Mr.
Charles Morgan, that great steamship owner,
has entered suit in the United States Circuit
Court to foreclose the mortgage which he
holds upon the company in the shape of past
due coupons of first mortgage bonds to the
amount Of s316,S40. Now, let this mortgage
be foreclosed-and there is no probability
thatit will not be-and the road will, of course,
be at once placed upon the market This
will place the Texas route in the hands of
those who most want it. If the Illinois Gem
trail Railroad Company and the great corpora
-tions connecting with it, desire to obtain con-
troll of this route and consolidate it with their
own, thus preparing for the establishment of
uniform rates of fare and freight from
Texas to Chicago, by way of New Orleans,
here is the opportunity for them to accom-
plish their purpose. In common with the
public, we look forward with much interest
to the result of the sale.

The New York Tribune implores Congress
not to adjourn without adopting some legis-
iatiye expedient for preventing naturaliza-
ton frauds, which means some expedient to
disfranchise naturalized citizens who have
an ugly habit of voting the Democratic ticket.
1t was easy enough to disfranchise white men
in the South-why not try it in the North
The fidelity of the foreign born voters to the
Democratic party has made them the objects
of the fierce and vindictive resentment of the
Radicals, and it would not be surprising if
practical Acknowledgement of all foreigners
were soon to become cardinal point of
Radical policy.

country, and the wreck in health and fortune
of all ,Inearly, of his old friends, weighed hard
upon his mind. He became subject to fits of
melancholy. and his most intimate friends
are of opinion that his death was fastened by
brooding over the. destruction of Southern
rights and the degradation of Southern
citizens.
James P. Freret was a noble example of the
ancient regime of louisiana. Tall, broad
shouldered, lusty, with a rudy complexion
and light hair, he was the beau ideal of q bluff
Epglishman, toned down with the amenities
and the vivacity of French society. Choleric
and hasty, he was still magnanimous and ge-
nial; fonder or more domestic husband, or
more devoted and affectionate father could
not be found. He was q most valuable citi-
zen, and many of the most useful improve
ments in New Orleans testify to his enter
prise, foresight and judgment. No man was
more extensively known in Louisiana, none
more universally beloved and respected.
Mr.. Freret has left a. widow and fourteen
children to grieve over their irreparable loss,
and twenty-five grand children. His brothers,
sons and nephews are all useful and honor
able men, and the ladies of the family adorn
the society which they frequent. They all,
and his numerous intimate friends, who find
void since his death which they cannot fill
this side the grave, have the hearty and re-
spectful sympathies of the CRESCENT and its
attaches

SOLUTION OF THE DRAINAGE QUESTION.

In this mornings CRESCENT there viii be
found correspondence between Judge Alex
ander Walker, representing the ex-drainage
commissioners, and Messrs Hays and New,
representing the Ship Canal Company. This
correspondence is based upon an offer made
| by the ex-commissioners to resume the work
of drainage in the Second District provided
that the injunction against the collection of
money on their part be dissolved, so as to en-
able them to collect sufficient funds for the
purpose. To this condition Messrs. Hays
and New accede; but not without taking occa-
sion to express, in no very measured terms,
their opinion of the conduct of the ex-com-
missioners in attempting to manufacture
public sentiment by means of persistent
course of misrepresentation. The letter of
Messrs Hays and New entirely corroborates
the statements made by the CRESCENT as to
the course of the commissioners in declin-
ing to work the Fourteenth street ma
chine even when the injunction, SO far
as il affected that machine, had been
dissolved, and in endeavoring to persuade the
public that the company had recklessly jeop-
when they knew that the accusation was un-
founded and unjust 1t shows that the object
of the commissioners, so far as that object can
be reasonably inferred from their conduct
was not to protect the property presumed to
be conided to their care, but rather to invite
the injury which they assert to have been in
ficted, in order that by some sort of strategy
they might be able to fix the responsibility
upon the company. If this was not their mo-
tive, their acts would seem to be entirely in
applicable. The readiness with which the |
company consented to dissolution of the in |
junction, without bond, was an intimation of |
a desire to serve the public interests which |
ought to have been conclusive with any rea-
soning mind. The refusal of the ex-commis- |
sioners to 60 on with the work under those |
would lead to the inevitable |
that their complaint of want of funds
was an after thought and pretext If they |
really desired to do the work, and deficiency
Of pecuniary resources stood in the way, they
could then, as well as now, have asked for q
further dissolution Of the injunction to enable
hem to supply this deficiency. If, in the
damage ensued, we are justified in
assuming that since the ex-commissioners
ook no steps to avert it. this was precisely
he result which they wished to reach. Now
hat the facts of the case have been made
,lain to the public, the ex-commissioners
ome into court and ask for what they might
ave sought in the first place, and thus i'm
'licitly confess that, whilst they have resort
d to e1pedient and stratagem, their expe-
tents and stratagems have ignominiously
allied.

A Washington telegrammer naively re-
marks that the appointment of Grinnell as
collector of the port of New York disappoints
only those who hoped that can old fashioned
politician" would get the place. "Old FASH
Toned politician" is good, considering that
Grinnen was politician as long ago as 1888,
and invented the famous pipe-laying frauds of
that era. 1t may be, however, that this style
of poiticianizing is "plsyed out" since the
whisky-ring has come into being, and cleo

The good effect of competition is already
seen in the announced intention of the At
lantic Cable Company to reduce their rates
from 50 20 currency per word to 81 81. This,
of course, is consequent on the anticipated
success OF the French cable enterprise. Yet
Sumner, and other similar statesmen, think
that the cold flag" is insulted by the land
ing of cable-end on the sacred shores of the
great republic, without the previously OBJ
tanned permission of the "best government
the world ever saw"

A select committee of the House of Com
mons has reported against the confirmation
of the contracts made by the late government
with the Cunard and Inman Steamship Com
panies. This, perhaps, is a symptom of the
tendency Of English thought towards the
voluntary rather than the governmental sys-
tenn. When will the people of the United
States learn the great fact that the true mission
of government is to protect life, liberty and
property, and not to interfere in industrial
affairs?

One Perce, "trooly loil" donkey from
Mississippi, remarked, in a recent interview
with General Grant, that he had "conf-
dence in the wisdom of Congress" If it
were not that this ingenious trust means
that Perez confdes in congressional legisla-
ton to get him good fat Office, it might be
regarded as the final development of donkey
hood. Perces ineffable stupidity consists in
admitting a confidence of this kind which
everybody knows to mean only place, power
and plunder-in other words, unlimited
carpet-baggery.

Recent neurology includes the death of
General Juan Nepomucens Almonte, a dis.
tinguished Mexican general and politician.
General Almonte was born in the latter part
of the last century, and, at very early age,
became identified with the politics of the
country-Mexican politics then, as ever since,
involving the dangers of the camp as well as
the labors of the closet.
When a youth of sixteen, he was sent to
this city to be educated, and for about three
years, from 1916 to 1919, he went to school in
this city, in company with Alexander Dimi-
try and the late Pierre Suzeneau, and other
well known citizens On returning to his
native country, he found that the revolution
against the Spanish authority had again
broken out afresh. He Immediately espoused
the patriot cause, and early became connected
with Santa Anna, of whom he was devoted,
and, for many years, constant adherent. He
followed that chieftain in his Inflated Texan
expedition, and the records of the famous
"Alamo massacre" were made up, chiefly,
nom his journal. He distinguished himself
at San Jacinto and on his return to Mexico.
was made minister of war by President Bus
tamante. On the fall of Bustamante in 1910.
Almonte was consigned to private life and
supported himself by lecturing ON scientific
nbjects. He subsequently was appointed
AMBASSADOR at Washington, where he re-
manned for some time. and where he
was very popular. His residence in the
United States gave him an opportunity
to acquire a fair knowledge of the Eng
1ish language, which he delighted to use
IN his intercourse with Americans. During
the war of 46-47, Almonte was sent in din
lomatic capacity to Europe, but was again
sent by Santa Anna to Washington, where he
remained till 1856. After the final fall of
Santa Anna he took up the project of convert
ing Mexico into an empire, and to him, more
than to any one else, was due the transient
success of the scheme for placing Macmillan
on the throne. In company with the arch
bishop of Mexico, he visited Maximilian at |
Miramar, and rendered the crown Of Mexico |
TO that prince in the name of the Mexican |
people. he then returned to Mexico where |
he acted as president of the regency till |
Maximilian's arrival after which he was again
sent to Paris, in which city he remained until
his death, which took place a few days ago.
Almonte was like most of his eminent country
men, willy intriguer, but it is not charged |
against him that he was venal or corrupt By
descent he was pure Spaniard, and in man
ners and address he was cultivated GENTLE
man.
