flee.

We admire this man Wmmoth'S
audacity just now, because it
suits our present purpose. His
last act is almost q regular Ma
poleonic coup Hrt0t. He has in
vaded the Secretary of States of
flee with his Metropolitans, and,
by force, elected the occupant,
R"vee, for knowingly and wiltul
~ promuIgating the Crescent
City Waterworks bill as q law,
when it had never become 4 law :;
and he has PIT Gen. +. j. Heron
in charge Of the Great Seal, as
Secretary al interim. 1t seems,
the bill had been signed by Dunn
and by Carter, in their official ca
pacities, but had not received
Warmoth's signature, nor had he,
as he asserts, retained it the
length of time prescribed for a
bill to become Il law without his
approval.
OF course, Warnoth's act is
revolutionary; but the people will
not care much what he does with
those who are, or have been, his
hirelinSs and tools. If he would
strike them all down, there would
be no aching void left. But the
Numidian lion Of the Custom
house, won't he roar now? His
faithful ~Ah-Sin under the Flee
ton Law, who could handle cleo
tlOn returns in Il way that was
simply unapproachable, has been
emasculatel. The wax on his
fingers has been removed 10y Bill
Nye, and Bill, with Tom AMBER
son and Honest John lynch, have
complete control OF the State
Canvassers' Board. Things arc
working for Dunn to declare him
self Dictator, or else he will &c
up in a balloon ''forty times as
high as the moon.''

Position Of Chef Justice I4udeling.

Chief Justice Ludeling, while on
a recent visit 10 New York, was
ssinterviewed''-it seems. to the
Judge unawarcs-by 4 Herald re-
potter. We make some extracts
from the Hcrald's report. OF the
Dunn wing Judge Ludeling is re-
ported to have said:
Reporter-Ist the party one of III
fluence, Judge?
Judge Ludeling-Not at all;
it comprises, perhaps, about six
men who use the negroes to ac-
complish, if possible, the over
throw OF Warnoth. The princi-
pal leader is Dunn, the colOrcd
Lieutenant Governor. backed by
Federal officers.
OF DUNN.
Reportcr-Well, he is man
of considerable ability?
Judge Ludeling-Not at all.
He has ability for IL negro, but is
not what would be called an able
man. He has collected about
him Il small INTERCHANGEABLE
negrocs-who feel that they do
not secure enough of the Cover
nOr's patronage, and the split has
been brought about them. 1t is
an insignificant party, and the
course pursued by them was very,
very i'll advised.
Of the otlicc-loldcrS backing
Dunn we arc told
They are men who gave 10 i'll
| tcrcSt in the state. Lowell, the
POstmaStcr, is IL Northern man,
who has worked himself into Of
flee and has no interest in COM
mon with the people. Casey, the
Collector, is IL man Of very Ordi-
nary ability, and would have no
influence were it not for his rcl;e-
tiOns to the President.
THE CONTEST.
RepOrter-Does WOrmOth re-
tain the confidence of the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties ?
Judge Ludeling-Yes, Of the
Republicans, and the Democrats
prefer his rule to that of the OPP
posing faction, whose aim is
merely to place the negro Gle
mcnt in power. The contest is
virtually between the whites and
blacks. Why, sir, had the dele
gates been allowed peaceably to
assemble without armed intimi-
tlation, Warmoth would have re-
Revived the support of more than
two-thirds of tho convention.
The Herald concludes:
The above is the substance OF
the Chief Justices remarks made
to the reporter, probably without
suspicion that they would he re-
produced. The Judge was very
decided in his utterances, and
apparently keenly feels the scan
dial that has resulted from the
split in the Republican party, in
significant in point of numbers
as the boilers appear to be.

Trenton & Fulton Railroad.

Vol. lllll ANA MAYOR ElOufnON
have returned from their canvass
in behalf Of the proposed railroad
Col. Hill, has, however, stopped
over a day or two near louisville.
Major Flournoy, who has called
upon us, brings back n very en-
cOuraSin@ account Of the canvass.
He represents the people very
ANXIOUS for q railroad and ready
literally in the proposed enter
prise, if they can have the ASST
rance that tho affairs of the road
will he placed in the hands Of
competent and honest men who
will not suuander the funds or
nee,llessly protract Il work they
so much desire to see speedily
performed. The country along
the line is represented to be above
an average upland country, and
is populated with a thriving,
prosperous people, who are COM
paratively free of debt and many
of whom have idle capital by
them they are ready to invest in
the road. The feeling in Arkan-
sas is said to he cordial and en-
couraging.
We have no doubt Of the sue
cess Of this enterprise, if the
foundations are properly laid at
Coluuitt on the 18th instant.
The assurances Of support are
ample, and the money to build
the road, we are persuaded, can
bc had in the region of country
to be benefited by its construc-
ton. The elements of Il success
full road are not wanting. Once
let the people see that work is
meant and let them hear tho To-
comotive's whistle, they will hunt
up their old sweascl skins'' and
many a rusty old "gobbler" will be
handed in to bring the roud on.
row, is it not time our own
/ coplc were rubbing their eyes
and preparing to take part in
this work If they will only
once break the ice and get fairly
warmed up in this road, We shall
look for similar enterprises to be
set on foot, all Of which arc pos
siblc and ought to be encouraged.
We need only one good start in
railroad enterprises to build Il
city here of twenty thousand i'll
habitants within the next decade.
In this connection we cheerful
ly give place to the following
from Il late number Of the Clai-
borne Advocate, and ask our
mOncycd men to emulate the OK
ample Of Homer:
The Trenton, Homer and Full
ton Railroad Committee assisted
by a number of other leading cit
liens have gone to work in earn
est at obtaining stock for the pro-
posed railroad. SO far from be-
ing Indifferent to the building OF
the road, nearly 100000 of stock
was taken at the moment the lists
were drawn mp, and $4,000 alone
was subscribed by Mr.. NaNey.
No doubt is entertained that full
$50, 900 will he taken and will be
represented ut the railroad meet
ing in COlQuitt.

gislature, and has furnished!
nimpeachable evidence of the
and baseness of that
adherents Of Dunn, as
'ell as those Of Warmoth, whose
ms this address is specially in
ended to expose. This address,
giving at length the status Of the
delegates who drew, or followed
carriage to Turner's
Hall. in his indignant fight from
he Customhouse, enumerates
the following names Of delegates
who are sitting members in the
House of Representatives,, arith
the means employed to gire them
seats:
Chas. 8. Abel, Supervisor of
Registration, elected himself to the
legislature.
Mortimer Carr, returned to leg
islature from DeSoto By election
lac, citizen of 3rd Ward.
l.. J. Souer, Register Of Voters,
appointed by Warmoth, returned
himself elected a member Of the leg
isZature.
w. r. Wheyland, Register Of
Voters, appointed by Warmoth,
elected by himself to legislature.
Here, then, in a formal address
issued by good Radicals-three of
whom, viz: John Ray, J. H.
Burch and G. w. Carter, are
members of the legislature, and
therefore informed as to what
they utter-we have the shame
full admission that two members
of the Legislature elected them
selves TO seats; one returned him.
self elected, and fourth was
elected-mark the admission -
ssby the election law!'' Not
elected by the people! Never
received a majority, OF even a
plurality Of votes; but, actually
convicted by high Radical au-
thority-by States evidencc-ot
having obtained their seats by
the most infamous fraud, i'm de-
fance of the expressed voice Of
the people! How many more Of
the present members of the Gen
eral Assembly are thus in pos
session of seats, we are unable to
show, because by not being mem
bers of either Convention, it has
not been necessary to expose how
fraudulent arc their claims to
the name and credentials of rep
rescntatives. Doubtless twO-thirds
of them have no better titles
than Abel, Carr, Souer and
Observation-Disclosures never to
have been elected and even
branded with the inf;.lny before
the. world by the men who were
payticepS criminis with them.
We undertake to say that the
of politics would be bank
rupted to furnish Il halfway par
allel. to these exposures. The
Radical press of New York fill
nearly whole issues with charges
Of corruption against Tammany
Hall: let them "bear 4 hand'' this
way and find corruption and ras-
cality that will impoverish their
vocabularies of denunciation, rs
practiccd and now confessed by
the missionaries-the refOrmers,
forsooth-of their own party. If
the Tammany Democrats have
stolen money, here are Radicals
who have not only stolen money,
but committed perjury, betrayed
their countrymen and robbed
them of the only attribute that
has ever distinguished them as
freenen, or can possibly give
them that appellation to-day.
What ought the people to do,
under such mOnstrous wrongs rs
these7 There is perhaps not a
man in existence, who has rcd
blood in his vicns and a heart in
his bosom pulsating with the
throb of Il freeman, who would
not say that the perpetrators of
these indignities and high crimes
ought to be driven forthwith
