RAILROAD MATTERS.
INDUSTRIAL ECONOMY,


INDUSTRIAL ECoNOMY,
IF any one will tell us what the in
dustrial policy of the Times is, he will
confer favor. We have never been
able to learn its principles by reading
its editorial articles.
Sometimes that journal appears to
support Chinese labor, then again it
speaks doubtingly, and is rather in
clined to oppose it, Does it favor
white labor in the Statc7 Does it
think gang labor paid by the month,
or the share system best? Does it
think the State will reach indepen-
dence soonest through large planta-
tons, or small farms 2 Does it think
blooded stock on farms may be more
profitable than wild stock on the prai-
ries? Does the Times favor white i'm
migration from the other States, the
North, the West, and from Alsace and
Lorraine, or does it prefer negroes
from Virginia, and coolies from China?
Does the planter, the farmer, the stock
raiser, the gardener, the fruit-grower,
the cultivator of vines, ETC., ever get
any light on their several callings from
the editorial pen of our abroad thought
ed' friend of the Times7 We think
not. When that sagacious and far
seeing editor chooses to reduce some of
his broad thoughts on industrial econ
omy to writing, and to publish his
views in the columns of his journal,
instead of assuming that lie is an I'M
errlpg guide in these matters, and that
country editors are but sardines by the
side of his whalesbip, we will consider
whether we will accept the light of that
journal as guide in that respect.
POLITICAL LIGHT.
When we come to the political char
acter of the Times, we must halt aud
reflect while over it's "broad thought
ed" platform. Is it Democratic Is
it Conservative Is it a Warmotl
iournal9 What is it7
A few years ago it was considered
decidedly Democratic. Afterwards il
renowned that party. and embraced
the people'sparty and the views of the
Conservative Press Convention. Soon
after this, it favored the Democrats
again, complimented Mr.. Frank Hatch's
address to the Democracy of the State
and was favored by the leaders of that
party, with the special advertisements
of Democratic meetings, before any
other paper. even the Bee, could gel
them.
After this, the Times published very
charitable apologies for Governor War.
moth, and sounded his praise for We.
toeing certain infamous bills, as though
a Governor should be excessively
praised for not doing an infamous act
It acted friendly part to Warmoth il
the Radical split in this State, and de
nounces President Grant extravaganza
ly. which suits the Governor very we'll
But Greeley and many leading Radica
editors do the same thing.
Whether the Times pretends at the
present time to be Democratic or not

AN EDITORIAL GIANT SPEAKS

Our august friend Bigney, chief edi-
tor of the New Orleans Times, finding
it inconrenient to reply to one of our
articles on the Chattanooga Railroad
Company, called on our old friend G.
w. Il. Bayley, the Superintendent Of
the NJ, N. O. and T. Railroad, to write
an answer for him.
In schools, it is not considered alto
gcther right for dull scholars to get the
smart boys to do their hard sums for
them, and then to- claim the honor of
solving the problems themselves; but
we suppose it must be different with
those who control newspapers and
claim to "know it ALL"
The Times, without giving a ray, of
light upon the Chattanooga Railroad
question, in a paragraph appended to
MIR. Bigney's reply, says:
Though good authority as to worms
and sugar crops along the pleasant
banks Of the Teche, Colonel bennett
cannot be accepted as a guide on rail-
| way questions, political affairs, or even
matters OF industrial economy. His
ideas are neither metropolitan nor ma
tional. He is essentially local coun-
try Journalist; well meaning, but by
no means broad thoughted, or expand
ed in his mental range of vision.n
The above paragraph appeared in
the Times at a date when the leading
merchants and business men of New
Orleans had subscribed about $50, OOC
as part of 100000 to be employed in
planting and sustaining new daily
newspaperin New Orleans, D. Den,
nett, of the Planters Banner, to be ed
itor in chief.
But we d" not know that the edito,
of the Times was apprised of the fact
Perhaps he only wished to give the
public correct information in relation
to the size and weight of our brain, af
he aims to instruct the benighted muI,
titude, and to throw Drummond
light upon all matters which profound
wisdom can reach, Or cyclopedias con,
tain.
The editor of the Times, by implica
ton, processes to be guide upon rail
acGy questions, political affairs, and IN
duStrial economy AS we feel greatly
in need of light on these natter, lei
us see where the Times light would
lead us.
RAILROAD MATTERS.
The Times has said great deal OF
the Chattanooga Railroad question il
its favor, and we do not remembertha
it has ever failed to act with Governor
Warmoth and the Legislature in sup
porting the interests of this company
If, after writing four years in the in
terest of that railroad, it is not wei
enough informed on it to risk repl,
j to one of our articles, bat uses Dor
rowed reply. and another mans light
we fear that journal would make |
very ordinary railway guide, and WI
cannot accept it as at all reliable.
