TEB ORLEANS, MOBILE AND TEXAS
RAILROAD COMPANY

Enough has transpired Of late to con.
vince all classes Of our people that the
Cessation Of the work of this company is a
matter that deeply affects the prosperity
of New Orleans: and as the responsibility
Of the delay must rest somewhere, It's but
/ right that the cause of the injury inflicted
! be placed where it properly belongs That
I cause has been recently traced to the very
doors Of a.class Of our people who, from
! political and partisan motives, more than
for any good reason. have opposed from
the beginning the improvements author
lied to be made Gy a Republican State
administration, through the aid Of the
New Orleans, Mobile and Texas Railroad
Company When the proposition to
/ grant charter to company for this pur-
pose was first laid before the Legislature.
the project of building railroad between
here and Mobile was pronounced imprac-
ticabIe and denounced as a contemplated
swindle by the very same class of men
who afterward mes-three hundred
strong-and signed the fatal circular that
worked SO much damage to the credit of
the State, and caused halt. in the pro-
gross Of the work. The threat made by
three hundred property holders, speaking
in the name Of the people, that the State
would repudiate its bonds, had the effect
desired at the time it was made.
And strange tie say this threat was
sent forth after the company had eye
pended several millions of dollars in
building the road from Mobile to New Or
leans, thereby demonstrating the practical
billty Of the work, and the disposition of
the company to continue in good faith the
building Of the road to Houston, and as
since agreed, branch of it to Shreve-
port. The work Of the company was pro-
crossing handsomely, and the road com
pleted to Donaldsonville was progressing
toward VerlnilionvilIe, when the fatal cir. /
cular, instigated by political and partisan
madness, went forth to crush the credit of
the State and destroy the value of its
ponds Ihls disposition Oh the part Of
influential property holders was well cal
oulated to have a damaging effect, for it
is hard for strangers to account for the
motives that could prompt men to take a
course that is not only ruinous to the
State, but injurious to themselves They
Ire, then, the cause of the delay in the
building of the road to Houston, and the
construction Of branch Of it to Shreve-
5ort. IF these gentlemen, who are just
low seeing. their error andare taking steps
o remedy the same, had given their aid
instead Of their opposition to the road to
iouston, i would have been finished by 4
ne first Of next January. As matters Row
tand, it can not he finished before next
lay, and not then if our property holders
nd business men dOnot come up prompt

ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.

1t is to be hoped the new Reform move
ment, which is merely the worst part OF De-
mocracy galvanized with pretences that
do not even mean anything, will not be
allowed to impose upon the people Of New
Orleans as it imposed upon the State. Ii
it had not been for the Reformers there
would have been q healthy union Of all
the conservative people ofoLouisiana in
one great economic party, with a prospect
Of e9ecting some good results. They ino
terfered to arrest the combination, not in
the interest Of reformo but rather against
it. for while they constantly demanded
favogs fog their men in the shape of nomio
nationso they never suggested o single
measure that was calculated to help the
people, We aye not suffering from bad
men so much as we are from bad laws
and obscure Qneso 4 genuine geform
party would haye forgotten all about
candidates in Its desire to remodel impero
fees laws and to improve and render plain
imperfect ones. Instead Of doing this, the
ReformerS gaze their entire strength and
efoyts to secure nominations for their
friends forgetting altogether to mention
wherein shey were in favor of reforming
measures The Democrats yielded to this
selfish persistency and well nigh created as
great disgust toward itself as its ally
had already provoked. Now there has
come a breach between these ewo parties.
and the Democrats propose 20 make a new
combination that will satisfy the public
more while it satisfies the Reformers less.
II IS 10 be hoped, as we said at the outset,
that this new movement will not fall into
the same error thatwas committed IN regard
to the State ticket. The people of New
Orleans are waiting to see which party
will give them the best chance They are
tired Of soting for parties that take all the
chances 60 themselves and leave the people
to get along with what they can pick up.

TIE CHAMELEON TICKET.


The Tum0r is received In a sort of feeble
way that the sponsors of the fusion ticket
are about to take down McEnery and put
Warmoth al the head. While we are sat.
iSfed there is 10 / reliability Of such a
step being, taken. knowing too well the
difficulties in the wayo We may admit that
would greatly strengthen the ticket and
give it hope OF sGcces8 that it has aever
yet enjoyed
OF course political parties are organized
for victory That is the main .lesjderdtln
Of their formation. But it is plain other
views PREVAILS ~hen the Liberal-fusion
ticket was put in the field. The hybrid orr
ganization that gave birth 20 this remarko
able political anomaly, must have been
guided more by motives os personal anla
bition and a selfish policy. than political
sagacity. The opposition, evidently in the
majority, were noS 80 be 6onciliated by
those whom it regarded as political enee
mics. The sudden magnanimity that
promised all that the negro already
had obtained was suspicious, and barren
of any advantages to the coIored race If I
his allegiance was to be diverted at all !
from the party which he has been in so
long it was in the expectation of getting
something better than he is now enjoying,
or where leaders in whom he had conf
dence were put at the head Of the new en- I
terpri5e and helped to carry it to victory.
Such in great measure would have been
the case had Governor Warmoth been &C.
cepted as the fusion candidate. His re-
lection was the first and crowning mistake
Of tie whole movement We are far from
saying that such a change in tie ticket
would not greatly restore its waning popu-
Larity, butthe effect can not be SO pronounc-
I'd IS it would have been in the first in

There was farmer once who attempted

was repeated ~hep she Democracy etc
tempted 80 give strength 20 its sickes by
lifting Upon its own shoulders the Reform
erso who consisted OF a maye squad Of their
own friends who bolted ia oyder TO secure
a ride. The favog which $be Democracy
has shown to the Reformeys has all been
tlgcwB away Tor. instead OF Strengthens
ing fhe party. it has simply enhaaced the
trouble by changing its location. The
true policy was So secure ag alliance with
the Liberal Republicans, Who really pos
sessed some, strength, and who would haze
constituted genuine recruits. The Demo-
cGacy submitted 70 the Liberal platform,
and it should have accepted the men who
made it. This would have given assure

Democracy see The errog it committed, SoS
we notice thai it has called a scouyention
of its own toS the purpose Of putting CAM
didates in nomination for local offices. The
Reformers are after the Democrats in this
NATTER while the Liberals wonder if this
is a new trick to beat them. AS the latter
hold the balance Of power. and are less
selfish than either of the other parties, it
is possible that they may yet decide who
are to be OUT rulers for the next two years.
