RIVER NEws.-Thc snow on Saturday, and
the continued cold weather since, has etfec-
tually closed the river to all navigation, as
the Aquia-Crcek steamers have at last sue

1t is said that the paddles Of the steamers
Keyport and lronsides have been so injured
by the ice That they will have to be repaired
or replaced before they can resume travel.
They have made no trips since Saturday, and
ice of sufficient thickness to bear the weight
of the heaviest men has formed upon the
track they made then. Persons were cross
ing the river from shore to shore this morn-
ing on the ice without any difficulty. The

TUE ATLANTIC, MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO RAIL
ROAD SToCE.-We are glad to hear that there
is Il probability Of the sale of the stock own
ed by the city in the Atlantic, Mississippi and
Ohio Railroad Company, amounting, we be-
licyc, to some S500,000. The par value of
this stock is $500 per share, and competition
for its ownership may arise which will run it
fully up to that figure. We think we may
say that the Council favor the sale, and that
negotiations looking to that end have already
been opened with fair prospect Of an early
contamination.
If this sale be effected it will be a wise
stroke of policy OH the part of the Council,
and will greatly relieve the burden of taxa
ton now imposed upon our people. We
hear further that the Council of Norfolk pro-
pose also TO dispose Of the city's interest in
this road and should any other corporation
than that headed by General Malone become
the purchaser Of the stocks owned by both
cities, it would give it a controlling interest
in the linc.-LynchJ,ug NeerS.

TIE STATE DEBT.

Itappears that the article so conspicu-
ously paraded in the editorial columns of
the Picaguas of late over the signature
IN, = is to be aseribed to the fertile genius
Of an eminent private citizen. This gen
tleman, since the advent of the Pica1ane
under its calico management has turned
politician and struts his "brief hour on
the stage" of politics the greatest ranter
Of them all It is, indeed, quite refresh
ing to read his lucid explanations Since
the publication of Auditor Graham's re-
port putting an effectual quietus to the
monstrous hoax of the State debt amount
ing to sixty millions Of dollars, Mr.. Nc
Closkey gets into fury of excitement
He assumes that the Auditor will not
deny that he stated to him year ago
that the State obligations were greatly
augmented by the legislative assembly;
that then the State debt was forty-two
millions of dollars and required a tax of
twenty and a half mills, and that the
further tax of eight mills was conclusive
evidence that the debt was over sixty
millions. This reasoning is conclusive to
Mr.. McCloskey's mind, and on the induc-
tons he drew from these premises he made
the publication aforesaid. Hence, as he
says, he ''could hardly believe his eyes"
when he saw the statement of Auditor
Graham, that the debt only amounted to
little over thirty-fve millions Of dollars.
But Mr.. McCloskey's surprise in reading
the announcement Of the actual debt of
the State is a mere bagatelle compared to
what he threatens in case the Auditor ne
elects to correct his official statement. If
this is not done, Mr.. McCloskey will con-
inue his publication under the heading
us the State of Louisiana solvent"
In view Of this dire calamity, what is to
be done? Well may Auditor Graham
tremble. A few more such publications
as that, and he will be utterly done for.
In short, we expect to see him annihi-
lated or if there be a remnant of him left,
it aoM hare to be slCept up.

A CONVERTED DEMOCRAT.

An old Democrat in Massachusetts, re-
lated his experience at a public meeting
last week, and told his friends how he had
been converted to Greeleyism. It was
something after this fashion He had lived
in the same town with Greeley, and they
were political enemies then, for while
Greeley and two other men were the only
abolitionists in the place, these three men
stood up straight and voted their little
ticket all the time. Then Greeley estab-
hshed the tribune, and declared against
slavery when the whole country was
against it. This proved that he was an
honest and sincere man. Now Mr.. Gree
ley says he is in favor of letting the people
govern the country, he is against cor
ruption, he is opposed to military inter-
ference, and he is honest in what he says.
His former conduct proves his present sin
cerity, and that he never betrayed trust
is evidence that he can be trusted now 1
No man can buy him with bull pup or a
house and lot. He win let the people de-
eide for themselves what they want, as he
says about the tariff. This is Just the kind
Of man We need at this time Tor President.
The people have been left out in the cold for
twelve years, and they desire to come into
possession Of their own again Therefore
the old Democrat had been converted to
love his old enemy The man who had
been consistent and honorableras an Cd
ponent would be just and true as a friend. |
And if the negroes do not vote for him !
they viii prove what has been so often said /
Of them. that they can not take care Of |
themselves. The man who has stood by |
hem for years is a better friend to them
han the man who never opened his mouth |
n their favor until he had favor to ask
It their hands. But this is their business.
The United States can prosper if they will
10 wrong. We have had clans and cliques
before and We always beat them when
hey went astray. The American people
intend to elect President without any
eference to the colored vote, and if the
negroes make mistake in their ballots
lext fall it will be at their own expense.

REVERSING PRICES PLATITUDEg.

The Dolly Warden organ has taken a
new hitch in its back rigging and is des-
perately humping itself with the indie
pendent wriggle. Mr.. James B. Price,
somewhat unheralded by the trump of
fame, furnished the pattern for this paIpi-
tating oscillation, which consists in a
promise "to defend the constitution as it
is, /" ito labor for the good of all men,
without distinction of class or color, and
''to be independent of all parties. This,
the Dolly Warden pronounces to be a new
wrinkle, prophetic with State redemp-
ton" Whoever buys Mr.. Prices goods
as novel, or in any way as original, Will
have to suffer a heavy discount whenever
they attempt to dispose of their merchan-
disc. Everybody is promising to do Just
what Price says he will do if the people
will only elect him to Congress. In fact
man can hardly promise to do less.
How would candidate appear who should
say that he would not regard the consti-
stitution as it is ?" that he would not de-
fend the rights of all without regard to
class or color ?" or that he "would be de-
pendent upon parties ?" Mr.. Price is a
mere platitude. The Picayome is a very
platter

THE BAYOEET BILL,

The Citizens Guard and the Picayme
indorse the entire action Of Congress in
passing the law that gives a United States
Judicial officer the power to supervise the
elections in this State. We put the name
of the principal Customhouse organ be-
fore the subordinate because the Guard has
never pretended to be anything but a per-
sonal dependent, while the Picapme has
made great pretensions to independence
and ability, wherefore it is the most crimi-
nal Of the two, and therefore worthy only
to be mentioned as the hired exponent of

Senator Henry Wilson, candidate for
Vice President on the Grant ticket. is at
outs with some Of his followers on this
important question as to who did save
the country. General Carter, ex-Speaker
of the Louisiana Legislature, said at Phil
adelphia that Grant was the national
savior, and postofice organ in Louis
vile Vouches for the veracity and loyalty
of General Carter. On the contrary, Mr..
Wilson says the Republican party saved
the country; and Major T. Morris Chester
AYERS with great distinctness that the
colored people are to be credited with as
slsting very materially in that praise
worthy job. Wilson is wrong if Carter is
right, and both are wrong if Chester is
correct. We did have an idea that the
country saved itself, as it will have to do
again if any Overweening selfshness should
attempt to disrupt or destroy it, and we
shall be slow to give this impression up
either to Wilson, Carter, or Chester, I'M
less they can show us very plain evidence
that it is founded in error. In the mean
time November will tell what the people
think about it.

The smiling little face of Senator Kel-
logg was visible about the Customhouse
yesterday morning, that gentleman having
arrived the night before from Washington
and taken rooms at the st. Louis Hotel
There was a very large assemblage of our
colored fellow-citizens in and around
Uncle Sans granite building, but whether
they came there TO welcome back Senator
Kellogg, or were there to consult with the
Customhouse officials, and make arrange
ments to go tc Baton Rouge to attend the
convention, we are not able to say. We
understand the Senator is a candidate for
Governor, and, in case he is elected. will
consent to become a permanent citizen of
Louisiana for the next four years. This
will be gratifying news to those of our
people who have had to mourn the alb
sence Of their Senator. from the State.
Considering that Mr. Kellogg made a
great sacrifice when he consented to leave
Illinois and come to New Orleans to take
charge Of the Customhouse, it is quite
likely his claims to the GoYernorship may
be entertained.
