A Voice from TangipahOa.

There is a clearness Of meaning in the
following resolutions from the Tangipahoa
Republicans which the able Representative
in the lower house will probably do we'll to
take notice Of Our friends in Athite have
no use for the boilers who went over to the
enemy on the sixth instant:
ANTE CITY. La December Il, 1871.
EDITOR REPCBLICAS:
l am pleased to inform you that large
and enthusiastic mass meeting of Repub-
licans of the first and second wards Of the
parish of Tangipahoa was held at Tangi-
Pahoa Station on Saturday, the sixteenth
instant. You will observe from the follow.
ing resolutions, which were UNANIMOUSLY
adopted, that the Republicans of this part
OF the State are awakened to a just opinion
of the libelOus and malicious reports that
have been SO industriously circulated in
this State against our worthy executive by
that portion Of the so-called Republicans
who always affiliate with the Democratic
party when their services are most needed
by the Republican party
l. Be it resolved by the Republicans of the
first and second wards of the parish of
Iangiapahoa, in mass meeting assembled,
That We, as Republicans fully indOrse the
present State administration of louisiana
=. That we fully indorse and approve the
action of the State Senate in its election to
the position of Lieutenant Governor and
President Of the Senate the Hon. =. Il. $.
PInchback
3. That we soleInnly protest against and
dlsapprove of the action of those Repub-
licans who coalesced with a corporal's
guard of the Democratic party for the sole
purpose of defeating IA representative man
because OF his color.
\. That we earnestly request the Repub-
llcan Senators and Repre- sentatives to sus-
tain our worthy executive i'll his noble
efforts for reform and general retrench-
ment.
). That we do hereby request and spe-
claily instruct our able representative in the
lower house to sustain the executive in all
his measures tending to reform and re-
q. That the secretary be instructed to

THE RAILROAD TO TEXAS.

We look upon the speedy completion OF
a railroad to Texas of the utmost import
ance to New Orleans, and next to that is
the speedy completion of a branch OF the
New Orleans Mobile and Texas railroad
to Shreveport. The completion Of these
roads, it is believed, will at once put a
stop to the diversion of trade from this
city to St. Louis and other Western cities.
Much of the trade of Northern Louisiana
and Texas that formerly came to this
city is now taken away from here
through the superior enterprise and
energy Of Western and Northern
merchants and capitalists. Lines of
steamers have been started and run from
Western cities to Shreveport, and railroads
are IN course Of construction from the
West into Texas, all for the purpose of
securing not only the trade Of that great
State, but for the purpose Of wrenching
from New Orleans large portion Of the
trade Of our own State. Our eyes are now
wide open to these facts, and there is no
time for bandying words or entering upon
idle denuhciations of Mr.. Charles Morgan,
the corporators Of the Chattanooga road,
or the directors of the New Orleans, Mo-
bile and Texas railroad.
Men who enter upon works of this
kind have got to have some assurance
that their capital invested in them is not
going to be lost It is true Louisiana
has freely given what aid she could to-
wards the building of the railroad from
Mobile to New Orleans and from this
place to Donaldsonville; but this aid was
given principally in the shape Of bonds,
and the railroad company has been
unable to realize anything as yet from
the sale of them. The road from Mobile
to Donaldsonville has been built by North
ern capital. The running of this road
between here and Mobile has compelled
Mr.. Morgan to seek an interest in it in
order to save himself He is willing to
Join half dozen capitalists and put in a.
million and half dollars as his portion
toward completing in the quickest man.
ner possible the road to Texas and a
branch Of it to Shreveport, providing the
city government of this city is willing to
conform to the acts of the Legislature in
'egard to the building the same.
The gentlemen who have already in
rested millions of dollars in this work
lave done SO because they thought the
people Of this State and city We're acting
n good faith, and would carry out hon
'stly their part of the contract entered
nto by their lawful agents. If this city
hould repudiate the act of the Legisla-
ure comforting upon this road certain
lights and privileges, it assumes not only
questionable power, but it suspends for
n indefinite period the work on the road
o Texas and to Shreveport; and may
inally be compelled to do what should be
lone now. The Council should do all in
IS power to forward Immediately the
york Of these roads.

The Louisiana State Register of the six
teenth instant contains the following in
teresting paragraph in regard to the latest
moments Of the Customhouse clique:
Senator Ingrahaln, it is reported, has gone
to Washington to secure for himself the Of
fce OF surveyor of the port of New Orleans,
which General Longstreet now holds. What
if he should fail
The question propounded by the Regis
ter might leave a doubt in the minds of
some, who are unacquainted with this
most potent, grave and reverend signior,
as to his chances to fail" For the bene-
tit Of such We will state that, under all
and every circumstance, Jim Ingraham is
a failure. He has been deficient from
his earliest CHILDHOOD and that deficiency
has never ceased to grow and more than
keep pace with his growth to puberty. AS
a slave he was failure" because of his
utter worthlessness, and as freeman he
is failure because he is worse than
useless; be is often an impudent obstacle
thrust in the way Of useful men. Instead
of being the friend Of his race and of the
country that has given him freedom and
endowed him with the high rank of citi-
zen, he is the tool Of selfish clique that
does not hesitate to ally itself with the
enemies Of Republicanism in this State
for the vain purpose OF defeating the Re-
publican party.
The mere fact Of obtaining Office does
not add to the reputation Of such man
as Ingraham. On the contrary, it shows
up his deficiencies in principle, education,
moral worth and all the attributes that
are necessary to make a useful public
man. If he fails in all Of these, and vet
does not fail in obtaining Office, he is
none the less a failure The more
offices that are conferred upon such
man the more apparent become his fail
ures. Mr.. lngraham is great pet of
the Customhouse clique, and as they
claim to be all-powertul with the Presi-
dent, and have given some proof to the
public that they are, We are prepared to
see Jim 1ngraham's name sent into the
Senate as worthy successor to General
Longstreet. But we will honestly confess
that We do not believe that Republican
Senators will vote to confirm any such
We know that Jim has i'm
pudence enough to go among them and
press his claims. Yet while he is doing |
this, he Wilt they accord him a hear
them unmistakable evidence of |
his total unftness to fill the high position
be has the "cheek' to ask to have con-
ferred upon him.

The Times yesterday afternoon epitom-
lied the report of the experts appointed
by the Eighth District Court to examine
the venality practiced by certain officers

our contemporary ignores reference to
Speaker Carter, J. Henri Burch ct id on,ne

under the same 'reform'' banner NAV
have generated.
