The annual election for directors of the
railroad took place yesterday, with the fol
lowing result: H. S. McComb, of Della
ware Thomas A. Scott, of Pennsylvania;
William Thaw, of Pittsburg; J. N. McCul-
Tough, Of Cincinnati; j. B. Alexander, of
New York; c. II. Mccormick, of Chicago;
E. j. Forstall, A. Schreiber, w. Alex
ander Gordon, E. H. Summers, Richard
Pritchard, c. H. Slocomb, Lewis Alcus, F.
j. Pratt, all of New Orleans; A. NJ. West.
of Mississippi; John C. Lucas, of Missis-
sippi; L. E. Houston, of Mississippi; E. H.
Saunders, of Mississippi
Mr.. McComb was again elected to the
post of president, to continue in the
management of the road. Mr. Pritchard
retired, as it was not his intention to fill
the post of vice president for more than a
year, he having consented at first mainly to
secure new management. But pressing
engagements this year requiring his undi-
vided attention, he has, now that the road
is fairly started, given way and yielded the
office into other hands. In the directors
the great cities of the West are fully rep
resented, besides our neighboring State of
Mississippi and the city of New Orleans
All have the legitimate of drive and 90
ahead essences, which will go far to a still
further progress of the road. In the con-
tinuance of Mr.. R. S. Charles as secretary
and treasurer is the public gain, as no
more accommodating man could well be
found.

pany. 1t is ordered by the court that these
causes be continued, and reargued at the
next term.
The Cabinet was in session to-day for
about two hours, ali the members being
present, excepting Secretary Delano, who
is still at the West. General Cowan rep
resented the Interior Department.
The special feature OF interest was the
reading of a telegram from General Sheri-
dan to the Secretary of War, announcing
that thirty-five privates and two officers Of
the Iuarez party had crossed the river.
They were arrested and taken to San An
tonic, where the privates were released on
parole, though the officers are still under
arrest. General Sheridan also asks what
disposition is to be made of them, and the
subject was referred to the Attorney Gene
raj, who will correspond with reference
thereto with the local State authorities at
San Antonio.
The Cabinet was also engaged with de-
partment business of no extraordinary i'm
portance.
The English note was not referred to in
the course of official business before the
Cabinet to-day.

THE CITY HALL.

The application of the Crescent City
Railroad Company to abandon their rail
road line from the Halfway House to the
Bayou st. John, meets with evident disfa-
vor from the city authorities, and the opin-
ion now prevails that they should be held
to the terms of their contract. They have
already obtained too many favors, and too
great iberality has been allowed in the
Interpretation of their charter.
No conclusion has yet been arrived at by
the Council in reference to the proposed
lease of the Waterworks. 1t is scarcely
probable, however, that it will be DONE
The opposition to it appears universal'
throughout the city.
The street commissioner mas again got
all the shell roads of the city in good con-
dition.

ORLEANS WEDNESDAY, 1872

on dead wall or an old fence, and the
boys would write something else in their
own way, and SO he obtained his copy. He
wrote in the spaces of his young masters
copybooks, and constantly asked for
information, until he could both
cypher, first picking up an acquaintance
with figures, then doing a sum by the rules
he would gather from the schoolbOys and
the rough instruction they would impart.
A new world opened before his eyes, and
he longed to be free. While in black
smiths business and working the bellows
up and down, he had read the old Liberat0r
in the intervals of his toll, having pasted it
fat on the wall SO that his eyes might fairly
see it. When he got SO as to read and write
and think, he did not feel right in being a
slave, and he obtained his freedom; but it
came only from his own exertiOns, his labor.
Though he prayed all the time for it. still
freedom never came until he fought for it.
Mr.. Benjamin Banneker was alluded. to
as another example Of greatness in color.
He was black manz--nOt half and half,
but an unimpeachabie, an unallOyed kind
He was the constructor of an almanac which
Thomas jefferson acknowledged was proof
of the culture which it was possible for the
black man to obtain. William Dietz was
also black man whose inventions and dis
cOveries were widely known. In reference
to the genius and originality which, in cases
Of colOred men, were laid to the white men,
he said that all greatness in these men came
from the native talents of the African that
his mother was black, and among 1000
slaves on Maryland plantation, was the
only one who could read that great men,
as a general thing, it would be found had
great mothers, from whom their qualities
were derived. He spoke of the line of argu-
ment often used, that, as the greater num-
Der of those distinguished in his own race
were mixed with white blood, consequently,
their genius came from that stock but in
the above examples this was disproved.
The reason why there were such abund-
ance of self-made men in the United States
was because that here "labor was more re-
spected than any where else in the world.'
Here We ask not for a mans lineage. The
principle was, I'VE know your father, per
haps, but who are you!" One of the most
that they were not better made men; that
they were subject to egotism. It had been
said that Horace Greeley was self-made
man and "worshiped his maker" Laugh
ter The lecture was heard with profound
attention from the beginning to the end.
Mr.. Douglass made no attempt at oratory,
but told of his subject instead of speaking
to it, and the frequent applause, especially
in the allusion to himself, showed that his
sentiments were felt and properly enter
tanned by the large audience. In closing.
he said he had fallen in love with New Or
leans, or rather the people in it, and that he
would on his departure take the earliest
opportunity of returning.
Mr.. Douglass then received the congratu-
latiOns Of lis friends.

River and HarbOr Bill-Bill for Future
Reduction Of Taxation - Redemption n
and Sale Of Land Bill.
WASHINGTON, April l6.-House-A com :
mittee Of conference was ordered upon the
bill for transporting the mails.
The St. Croix railroad grant was defeated
by a vote of ITO to 81.
The river and harbor bill gives $4,000
and the unexpended appropriation of 1871
to Charleston harbor, and $4,000 for the
Improvement Of the Savannah river and
harbor.
The bill prepared by Representative
Kelley, and which was to-day ordered to
be printed, is entitled IAN act for the fu-
ture reduction Of taxation and the promo
ton of commerce." and is designed. to be
offered as substitute for the tariff and tax
bill reported to-day from the Committee Of
Ways and Means.
Mr.. MAYNARD unites with Mr.. Kelley in
this misunderstanding the order of the
Committee of Ways and Means. Mr..
Kelley's bill gives the precedence to the
internal revenue feature instead of to the
tariff feature. 1t provides uniform tax
of sixteen cents pound ON tobacco and a
consolidation tax of sixty-tve cents or
spirits, but abolishes the taxes Of sales both
on spirits and tobacco.
The changes proposed will, it is said,
CLdulC tuO AAO0cuAy ~ PoA eAAASAV PAoStA-
cally to disband the internal revenue SER
vice, so far as assessors, collectors and
assistants are concerned.
1t makes provisions for the maintenance
of a tobacco bonded warehouse, under such
regulations as may be prescribed by the Sec
retary OF the Treasury, and abOlishes about
one-half of the stamps included in sched-
ule 3.
The tariff section adds tea and coffee to
the free list, together with other articles
which enter into general consumption, but
which are not produced in this country.
1t also aids the ten per cent reduction of
the Senate on iron and manufactures, and
those of woolcn, worsted, cotton goods, and
some other articles.
This Joint measure makes reduction of
$50, ,000, 900 from the two sources of the rev.
enue service, and provides for the diminu-
ton Of the force of the internal revenue
service to the extent of One-half the num-
Der of employees and expenses.
Senate.-Mr. Shel man, from the Commit
tee on Finance, T, ported bill to provide
for the redemption and sale OF land held by
the United States under the several acts
leyying direct taxes, which was passed.
II excludes from l'S provisions all lots or
tracts on which there are national ceme-
teries, OF which have been set apart by the
President of the United States, and are
now needed for militia or naval purposes.
Mr.. Pomeroy entered a motion to recon
slider the vote by which ii might be passed.
