Texas = aspublie injury; and it is but
right to place the responsibility where it
properly belones-on the men who en-
deavored to prevent the granting of q
charter, and afterwards questioned and
published to the world their judgment
against the validity Of the aid that the
State, through its Legislature, pledged to
the road. Our property holders and tax
payers are not fairly represented by the
gentlemen who put forth their notice ''to
the public in regard to business that
does not legitimately belong to them; and
it is to be regretted that their imprudence
and want Of wisdom should work injury
to the many thousands who are interested
in the growth and prosperity of New Or
leans. All prejudice and personal interest
should cease to have influence in great
works of public nature. When this is
the case, there will be fewer delays in
public improvements.

THE NEW ORLEANS, MOBILE AND TEXAS
RAILROAD,

When the REPUBLICAN, three years ago,
advocated the construction of this road,
it did so in the face of most determined
opposition offered by tine press and in
fuential business men of this city. A
good deal Of this opposition sprung from
prejudice, and good deal from interest
that monopolized the carrying trade be-
tween Mobile and New Orleans and New
Orleans and Texas. The prejudice existed
among our old citizens who had SYM
pathized with the ''lost cause" and still
chung to their sectional feelings. They
viewed with jealousy the advent of new
corners, and distrusted every movement

Anew WILLIAMS, MARCH j.
The undersigned, property owners and
taxpayers Of the city of New Orleans, salts
fed that the State Legislature has, at its
Endorsements and other obligations and
grants authorized on the part Of the State,
the total amount of which is limited, bv the
recent amendment of the constitution, to
S25, OOO, 900 ALREADY incurred), as shown by
the annexed official statement of the Au-
ditor, take this early opportunity of
notifying bankers, brokers' and dael-
and in Europe that they consider
all such loans, Endorsements and pledges as
null and of no value; that they will sustain
the authorities in resisting their issue, and
if issued will, by every legal means, en-
deavOr to prevent the payment of any in
terest or principal, or of any tax levied for
that purpose.
They only recognize the State debt proper,
amounting to s25, O2l ,734 40, as shown in
and they class the accruing debt with the
illegal legislation previously referred TO.
We can not agree with the Times de-
Tense Of men who, whatever their motives
might be, undertook to decide questions
that did not properly belong to them.
The validity of the ''loans, Endorsements
and pledges of the Legislature to the
New Orleans, Mobile and Texas railroad
was question that could only be lawfully
determined by the courts, and as the
Supreme Court has sustained the action
of the Legislature, and declared the bonds
granted to the road valid, the prematu :e
action of few property holders and tax
payers, speaking without authority, is
inexcusable where public injury is likely
to follow. And all will now admit that
delay in the completion of the road to
