"GreeIev Smilen.,,

Our enterprising friend C. Huchez, over
the way, has sent US sample of the exhil-
arating smiles" of the great philosopher,
editor, farmer and peoples candidate for
the Presidency. The sample is inclosed in
blue bottle, and bears the trade mark of
the great house from whence it comes, at
Nos. 50 and 81 Camp street. There is a
contagious influence in the smile of a good
man, which inevitably brings response
from the most stoical. Such we found the
sample, and such we believe to be the char
acter of all that beam from the honest
countenance of Horace. May they soon il
lumine the dark corridor of the White
House.

1 Pacific road, and were seated upon the
platform Mr.. Summers, president Of the
/ Cotton Exchange, introduced Colonel Scott
to the meeting, and he at once proceeded
to deliver most interesting account OF the
road which he is about to build through
Texas, New Mexico, etc., on to the Psclhc.
He assured his hearers that this work
was about to be commenced that he
| had travelled over its route through
Texas and was perfectly amazed and de-
| lighted with that beautiful and prolific
country. He said he had no idea what
wonderful country the State of Texas en-
braced, or what thriving people it con
tanned until he had gone there and seen for
himself. He had met and been greeted in
the most friendly way by an intelligent,
hardy and thrifty people engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits; engaged in raising corn,
cotton, tobacco, wheat, etc. He thought
such people with such magnificent ter
ritOry-eaPable of sustaining bountifully
the whole population of the United States
had a grand uture before them. He
again assured bis hearers that the Southern
Pacific road would be Immediately COM
menced, and that branches would connect
with Austin, Houston and Galveston. He
advised the citizens of New Orleans to take
immediate steps toward building a road in
the quickest manner to Shreveport He
said such a road would cost in the neigh
bOrhoOd of slO,OOO,OOO, but that amount
was not required in cash.
He said that if the people of this city
would raise 100000 he would guarantee
that the road would be built by the way
of Baton Rouge or any other route that
might be more available. He urged upon
the people of this city the necessity of build
ing this road at once if they would not have
New Orleans shut off from and despoiled of
its share of the immense trade the Southern
Pacific road viii assuredly bring to Shreve-
port to find the most available market. New
Orleans is the natural outlet for this i'm
mense trade, if she will stretch out her
hand to receive it and conduct it to the
shipping lying at her port from all parts of
the world. Colonel Scott concluded his
remarks by asking the people of this city if
they would do this. "Will you," said he,
connect yourselves with this great cornu-
copia ?"
Colonel Forney was then introduced to
the assemblage, and gave very felicitous
account of his present trip. He is pleasant
and fluent speaker, and made most pleas
ing and lasting impression upon those who
had the pleasure of hearing him.
General Bussey being called upon, gave
his views in regard to the Importance of
taking immediate steps to build railroad
to Shreveport. The General spoke in the |
NEST earnest manner, and concluded by |
moving that committee of fifty citizens be
to take the matter Immediately |
in hand. His motion was adopted, and the
meeting adjourned in the best of spirits.

help did the Governor get from the com
munity? When he fought of the mer-
cenary raid of the Customhouse faction
upon the State treasury, who upheld his
hands? The people in their sober senses
realize these suggestions, and now they
propose to rally to the support Of the man
who has done SO much to protect them
while they we're negleoting their own
defense They believe that with a better
Legislature he will be a better Governor
than he has been. When the labor of re-
form is divided, the State will be reformed
better than she has been for years. This
is our Interpretation of the result at
Shreveport. And we think Mr.. Kellogg
sees that this uprising is the food that en-
dangers his prospects next November.

well-doing Of an ordinary village, much
less great metropolis.
Although these men may have accumu-
lated millions off the people among whom
they live, they think 1t an outrage to take
a dollar of this money in the way Of taxes,
to give pure air to the city or augment the
commercial advantages of the people.
A prominent instance of this character
istic is exhibited in the drainage improve
ment. Scarcely one Of these huckster mil
ionaires approve it. 1t is a useless ex-
penditure, they say, to carry the surplus
waters from our streets into the lake, or
convert many thousands of swamps or
overfowed lands into dry, pure and tillable
lands. For years these swamps and mo-
rasses in the rear Of the city have been the
| horrible lair of the cholera and yellow
fever. Every wind that swept through
these tangled thickets bore on its wings
the seeds of death to our people. Now, the
admirable drainage system adopted by the
municipal government has converted these
malaria-ladRn districts into places where
human beings can live and prosper, and
where the cheap lands invite population
and improvement. But greater than all, it
removes the hitherto increasing dread of
epidemics.
But still the tax resisters cry waste and
extravaganza, and characterize the pit
lance they are required to pay for their
improvements as official robbery.
Was this the way the people of Chicago
and st. Louis did, when they sent out
their iron arms in every direction to bring
to their cities the commerce of the South
and West? To-day the municipal taxation
fist Louis is double that of New Orleans.
What is the reason of it2 1t is because
they are alive to a spirit of enterprise.
The metropolis of Missouri alone proposes
to send railroads into Southern Arkansas
and Western Texas for the trade of a coun-
try belonging to US. One of these roads
is now nearly complete. Yet prominenH
tax resister prominent on account of the
few thousand dollars he has got) proclaims
the State of Louisiana insolvent, because
she has granted paltry loan to a railroad
company on which absolutely depends the
commercial prosperity of New Orleans.
What sort of policy is this? Is it wise
and sagacious, or foolish and contempti-
BILE?

Colonel Thomas A. scott at the Cotton
Exchange.

GACMdM8Cs
The most interesting and significant meet
ing held in this city on the ninety-sixth an
niversary of American independence was
the large, intelligent, and influential gath
ering of our people at the Cotton Exchange
to hear Colonel Scott, the railroad lion of
the age, discuss the great railroad interests
of our State and country, ana learn from
his own lips what impressions his present
trip had fixed upon sound and practical
mind.
Colonel Scott and the retinue of distin-
guished gentlemen who accompanied him
South, at a season of the year when it has
been fashionable to be travelling away from
the ''sunny land" astonished and delighted
many of our people with their bOldness,
when it became known that they had actu-
ally reached Shreveport, an important
commercial point in Louisiana, and were
prospecting to make that place the North
ern terminus of the Southern (Texas) Pacific
railroad. Many of our people down here in
the Crescent City were inclined to think
that Colonel Scott had performed great
feat in going to Shreveport, hot place.
at this season of the year; but when
they learned he had actually crossed
the borders Of our own State and passed
into Texas, as the pioneer of great rail
road interest, they felt he did so fearlessly
because he was impelled by the same great
and dauntless spirit that had moved other
men to the undertaking and concentrating
of great deeds. If Colonel Scott and
friends could then, in midsummer, traverse
extensive portions of the great State of
Texas, inspecting five hundred miles of the
proposed route of the Southern Pacific
road, and visiting Austin and Houston in
the course of their explorations, no appa-
rent reason suggested itself to the minds of
our people, who are wide awake upon rail
road and commercial matters, why they
should not visit, on their return to their
Northern homes, the chief centre of trade
in the South-New Orleans. So it was de-
termined that the Chamber of Commerce,
acting as the organ of the people in this
matter, should appoint committee to wait
upon COlonels Scott and Forney and invite
them to address our people on the fourth of
July, at the Cotton Exchange, on the sub
.ject Of the Southern Pacific road and
branches, and their travels in Texas.
The committee consisted Of General
Cyrus Bussey, Moses Greenwood, NJ. Mus

1t is fair question to ask of Mr.. KEEL
'logg if he ever read the messages of Gov
ernor Warmoth to the Legislature Of the
State of Louisiana, and if he approves of
the same. There are about one hundred
recommendations in these vigorous State
papers that can be made in what Mr.. Kel-
logg calls " goods laws" As Governor
Warmoth could never prevail upon the
men who are supporting the Grant can
didate to enact these propositions into
''good laws, what argument does Mr..
Kellogg propose to use in order to accom-
plish his purpose? Can he explain this
point?
