THE TEXAS RAILROAD,

Governor Warmoth has received a
dispatch from New York announcing
that contract for the completion of
a railroad to Texas has been entered
into with reliable parties, and that the
work is to be commenced in fifteen
days and completed within a year.
This is indeed good news to the
people of New Orleans and the State
in general. But what surprises us is
that the work is to be an extension of
Morgan's Brashear road instead of the
road which has its present terminus at
Donaldsonville. How is this Is the
original plan of the road to be aban-
doned since Charles Morgan has be-
come stakeholder? We hope not,
but rather that the intended arrange
ment spoken of in the Governors
message will be carried out; that is,
the extension of the Brashear road to
Shreveport and of the Donaldsonville
road to Houston, Texas, the two roads
connecting at Vermilionville.
The charter of the N. o., NJ. & T..
R. r. Co., requires them to build
their road from New Orleans to Texas
via Donaldsonville, and to alter this
plan the consent of the General As
sembly will have to be gained. For
the interests of Donaldsonville and
the region through which the road
was originally intended to pass, we
hope this consent viii not be given.

We would suggest to the Iberville
Pioneer that its little joke of leaving
blank in the official directory the name
of TIE Lieutenant Governor and
President of the Senate has lost all its
sarcasm, and it is a good time now for
our neighbor to stop making a fool of
himself, just for a change. The ex-
ira session of the Senate has been
pronounced legal by a majority of
Senators, and the recreant wanderers
from out of the Wilderness recognize
and address Senator Pinchback as
9 Mr.. President Therefore, little
Pioneer, your exquisite joke is played
out Every one sees this, and why
not yourself?

This is from the Philadelphia In

quirer:
A halcyon quiet broods over the
Legislature of Louisiana. Carter and
ten of his Custom House colleagues
have been expelled, and as the valiant
chief had SO much regard for the pro-
wess of " United States veterans" the
followers of the vanquished leader
could not, in reason, be expected to
fling themselves upon the bayonets of
General Emory's regiments. Eighty
one representative are now making
laws for the Pelican State, with the
valuable assistance ola less belligerent
Senate. Carter and his warriors have
betaken themselves to the calculation
of the mysteries of ad ra1orem and
drawbacks, in which peaceful calling
they will, doubtless, gladly continue.
The proposed investigation of the New
Orleans muddle by Congress had a
wondrously soothing effect on the
Carter Custom-House faction.

This is what the Vicksburg Times
and Republican has to say in regard to
Carriers indecent daily hand-organ
The National Republican, published
in New Orleans, is an incendiary sheet,
and ought not to be tolerated. 1t in
dulges in the most inf1ammatory and
denunciatory articles, and appeals to
the Infatuated mob, which it claims to
represent, to commit acts of violence.
1t tlenominates the Legislature sitting
at the Mechanics Institute as War
moths slaves. 1t publishes an appeal
which closes with these words: Let
the cry be, Down with Warmoth and
his theiving crew! Rally, rally, rally3'
Every issue of that journal for weeks
has contained the most intiammatory
and libelous editorials about Cover
nor Warmoth and his friends. A
glance at the editorials of single is
sue we find such sentiments as these.
"Money has been freely used by
Warmoth to perpetuate his rule"
"Speaker Carter addressed tenn
perate demand to the rebel Warmoth."
"Governor Warmoth is a public en-
envy" He finally surrendered that
right to the hands of the traitor, who
sits in the executive chair of the
State and mocks a whole people"
These are but mild specimens with
which every issue of that journal is
filled. The paper is incendiary and
indecent, and Governor Warmoth
would be perfectly justifable in sup
pressing it. Nocturnal should be per-
mitted to thus malign and traduce the
chief executive of the State. If the
Governor is a felon, or guilty of any
of the crimes with which he is charged
by this infamous sheet, he should be
arrested, put upon trial, and, if found
guilty, sentenced. A public journal
in this country is allowed the widest
latitude, but there are bounds which
they should not be permitted to pass,
and thus to malign a public officer,
against whom no charges can be sub
stantiated, should not be tolerated.

We have reason to hope the dis
graceful affair in New Orleans is
nearly at an end. The Democratic
papers turn up their noses in great dis
gust at such horrible state of affairs,
and we are inclined to twist them
little higher. They would have peo-
pie believe they are perfectly innocent
little creatures, in no way responsible
for such state of affairs, still every
man of them has their sleeves rolled
up and in fact, the big deg in the fight.
For years they have been at work in.
every manner possible to produce just
such state of affairs, and they will
labor on for continuance. No effort
has been spared to unite with them a
few Republicans in order to destroy or
control legislation. They have OPP
posed, do to-day, and will continue to
oppose everything favored by Repub-
licans, no matter how BENEFICIAL to the
country. The plan has been followed
in this State. Every effort has been
made to disorganiZe and break up the
Legislature. All that has been lack.
ing is the power to control enough
Republicans. Could this have been
done, the same state of affairs would
to-day exist in Texas that does now
in New Orleans. Wehave no patience
or apology for those miserable Repub-
leans who have united with the De-
mocracy and assisted them in such
unwarrantable acts. They deserve to
be kicked out of the party and made
to serve in beldam a thousand years,
with the Democracy, striving all over
the country to produce anarchy and
confusion. (Texas) Weekly.
