COALITION WITH GOV. WARMOTH.

We published on Monday Mr.. Black
mans denial Of the purpose of the DEM
ocratic members of the legislature to
or Dunn. Our New Orleans exchanges
do not appear to be SO well satisfied
that no such coalition has been formed,
and they are backed by some of the
citizens of New Orleans. The Bee re-
produces, from the Baron Rouge Adj
vocate, the following telegram from
Hon. II. J. Hyams, of West Baton
Rouge, to the editor of the Advocate,
as an evidence that an understanding
exists between Warmoth and tho Dem
Ocrats:
NEW ORLEANS, January 2,-5P. NJ
The Democrats in caucus this morning
decided to act with the Wrrmotl wing
of the Republican party. Carr, candi-
date for Speaker, was elected by Il very
heavy majority The whites have
now /, good working majority III the
House.
In Il prominent place in the Bulletin
we find the following item i'll reference
to the same subject:
The following is the copy OF Il call
for a meeting, now being circulated in
the city for signatures:
| "DEAIOCEATIC M EETI G.-Thc DEM
ocrats of New Orleans are requested to
meet on Saturday evening at 7 O'Clock,
over Mr.. Hawkins Saloon, for the pur-
pose of demonstrating against any Goa
litiOn with Governor WarmOth and to
express their deep indignation at the
attempts which have been made by
pretended Democrats to seduce the
Democratic members of the Legislature
into an alliance which will be fraught
with ruin to the party and the people
| of the State"
The news of the election of Gen. j.
| r.. West, WarmOth'S candidate, as o..
S. Senator, by a large majority, tends
to confirm somewhat the conjecture
that the Democrats and the Warmoth
wing have united forces. Although
we are not specially advised how Gen.
Vests election was achieved, yet the
presumption is that the Ttay-Dunn
wing voted for some other Republican
and the Democrats supported West.
Avcrsc as we are to any coalition with
| carpet-baggers, we cannot approve DEM
ocratic succor to Warnoth, unless future
beneficial legislation, i'll the way of re-
pealing obnoxious laws and the enact
| ment of good ones, shall furnish the re-
quisitc indemnity for such Il sacrifice.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.

| The legislature assembled on last
Monday. The House organized by re-
electing Mortimer Carr (Warmothitc)
Speaker, and Vigers as Clerk.
The Senate elected Chas. w. Cotton
official reporter.
Notice of contest of the seats of Sena-
tors Hunsacker, Bowman, Butler and
Swords We're filed-Mess Marks, May
field, Camp and Veattic contcsting the
seats of the same.
The Senate voted to change the mode
of selecting committees, from an APP
pointment by the President to an cleo
ton by the Senate, which action is
claimed as a victory for Warmoth.-
During the struggle preceding the vote,
Pinchback is reported to have spoken
as follows:
Mr.. Pinchback could not understand
how it was that the Democrats in the
Senate were sustaining his EXccllency
II. G. Warmoth by their votes, and in
the very face of the advice given them
by their own newspapers, which had
denounced this same Governor IL. G.
Yarmouth as Il thief, liar, carpet-bag
ger, etc, and all who supported him,
with remarks of this nature. How
was it that the chivalry of the South,
who have heretofore followed the de-
vice of the Democratic press, should
now support by their votes this man;
who had been so fiercely denounced.
To this, Mr.. Blackman replied, that
the Democrats had not formed Goa
lition with either WarmOth or Dunn,
and that they intended to vote for or
against measures as their constituents
required and their conscicnccs dictated.
The House passed Il bill appropria-
ting $3.50, 200 for expenses of the legis-
lature, and adopted a resolution giving
three daily papers to each member, of
whom probably twenty cannot read.

RAILROAD FROM THE OUACHITA TO
UPPER RED RIVER.

Senator Futch, of Union, has given
notice in the Senate, of his intention to
introduce a bill to incorporate the Tren-
Company. We have no doubt Il rail
road from Fulton, in this direction,
would be paying road, and that
either as a separate road, or as branch
road to the North Louisiana and Texas
road, it will some day be built. But
our impression is, that Il careful survey
of the country and an estimate OF the
expenses and revenue Of Il direct road,
as compared with those of one, answer
| ing the same purposes, intcrsecting the
n. L. & II. Railroad some sixty miles
west of this, will lead to the conclusion
that the latter is to be preferred. The
selection of routes, suppose the enter
prise be undertaken in earnest, would,
no doubt, greatly depend upon the
disposition shown by contcnding COM
| munities to aid the road. 1t is point
with railroad companies to build only
paying roads, and to obtain all the help
they can. They have no local pride
and no favorites, but go on the princi-
pie that the country needs Il railroad
| most which contributes most literally
to its construction, and which will sus'
| tain it with the heaviest freights and
greatest travel, when once built.
We trust Mr.. Futch will be able tC
secure IA charter for his company, and
that capitalists may be found who Will
build the road. North Louisiana has
great need of railroads owing to the
scarcity ofnavig,ble streams, and she
has a claim upon the State to liberal
aid. from the fact, she has contributed
for almost half century to internal
improvements in middle and southern
Louisiana, in the construction of which
her people had no interest, and from
which they have never derived any
profit. 1t is no credit to our Legislators
that in this enlightened age, and with
millions of indebtedness incurred to
build leveeS, eXcaVatc canals ana
dredge rivers, there are to-day hum
dreds of farmers in this section of the
State, who have contributed to the inn
| provement OF every other section, who
are hauling their cotton sixty and
seventy miles to market with OK
teams, over miserable roads, and pro-
cure their supplies of sugar, flour, coffee,
bagging, &c, in bad crop years, even
their corn, in the same tedious, expen-
siye and ruinOus manner. There should
be at least half-a-dOZen railroads sur
veyed and built in North Louisiana,
and the State should contribute to their
construction. The country needs them
and the population deserves such sue
cor from the State.

He settled in Louisiana since the war,

will find that, with all his splendid en-
dowments and honors, his public zeal
amounts to nothing. We have often
wondered how such men as these-and
they certainly eeist-are enabled in
figuring up their accounts with a ra-

fifty per cent. of a balance.
1t is a sad commentary upon ones
life, it, possessed OF the influence, tai

his section happy and prosperous, he
exhausts and ends that life in the

dust and cObwebs of law-office, in the
tillage and impoverishment of few
acres of land, or in the seclusion and
discomfort of his own cherries cham
her, without having in one single nota-
bic instance stepped manfully forward
to the support of public improvements.
Such a life is waste, a blank, ave.
worse, because it leaves an evil example
behind.
Let us, therefore, ut the threshold of
the new year, look around, and select
some public improvements, or enter
prises, to which we will lend aid and
and "muster up the
courage" to do a citizens part in the
land in which we live. Let us look to
