AN ADVANTAGE sECuREO.

4 week ago, pressing the views ad
vanced in Governor Kelloggs inaugural
message, the REPUBLICAN strongly urged
upon the Legislature the passage of the
bill extending the time for the completion
of the Chattanooga railroad to the Texas
border one year. Immediately caucus
was called at which his excellency was IN
vited to more fully explain his policy, for
be it understood, a determined prejudice
existed in the minds Of members against
bestowing any further fayors, in any form
whatever, upon this corporation.
Governor Kellogg explained that the
failure of the State credit, under the
former administration, had been mainly
the cause Of the company's default; that
the franchises and control of the road had
passed into new hands, for whose respon.
sibility he could freely vouch, and that the
grant Of time simply which was asked
would certainly bestow upon this people
the long wished for boon of railroad COM
munication with Texas. The result of tie
conference was the passage of the bill,
which Of course has received executive
approval.
The benefits of this perfectly proper
and just action are already coming in.
Congratulatory letters On the success of
his liberal policy reach the Governor from
,,,a,, vr-bo ;,,,-,a1io FOL ,-,e+, "a l. ,o ,,,,
il the great enterprise; the working force
is to be at once largely Augmented and
the assurance is given in a way that
guarantees good faith that by the first of
July the road to VermilionvilIe shall be
completed, and by January l of next year
the cars will be running to Sabine river.
Ten additional miles of track, we 1lay
here mention, were yesterday reported by
the engineers and accepted by the State
authorities.
This positive guarantee Of early rail
communication with Texas is traceable
directly to our Republican government
in fact, to Governor Kellogg's personal in
fuence with the great railroad capitalists
of the North, and the confidence reposed
in his Judgment and patriotism by the
Legislature. And this is onlya beginning
of the benefits which the wise and pro-
gressive rule he promises will bestow upon
Louisiana, to make glad the hearts of her
citizens. It will be but a short time only,
we predict, ere the rejoicing will be gen
eral throughout the State that Bourbonism
has been cast down, and progressive Re
publican administration installed over us.
Only give Us peace. and prosperity will
soon follow.

ing the Christian impulse of doing good
to our enemy for the evil he has done us?
Simply abuse and contumely from the
organ which should have laden its columns
with thanks for kindness rendered. Some
fearfuliy hatulent Fusionist, seizing the
editorial quill of the Times. without so
much as 'by your leave, drags us through
the fogs of Olympus 10 engage in game
of tenpins with the bolts of thunder
compelling Jove that would have startled
even Hendrix Hudson and his sedate
Dutchmen out of their fearful equanimi
ty. And not content with this, he mali
ciously attacks both our honesty and
sobriety by insinuating that We have for
aged upon his own magazine Of inspira-
ton and captured his whisky bottle.
But worse far than these playful, antics
is the base ingratitu,:e this new-tledged
censo: manifests. Instead OF thanks for
Charitable zeal. We aye .ejukel for fro

by heeding-no advice they would
not have benefited by following. We have
uttered no prophecy relatin. to any con-
dition or event in the political crisis just
passed through, that has not been fulfilled
to the letter. From a bitter opposition,
whose characteristics partook even of per-
sonality, We have wrung Acknowledgements
Of our truth and honest purposes and of
showing to our enemy, under all circum-
stances, fair play. Can the Times show
position or record like it? If not then
must it not assume airs Of superiority over
its more practical and potent if less pom

The TIMES AND TAX RESISTING,

"If no compromise is reached" the
Times tells US we shall be cursed with
this unfortunate condition o. affairs: In
the city. the bayonets may be effective il
extortion, but in the country parishes the
taxes can not and vii. not be collected"
Our contemporary Doubtless believes
what is quoted above. but it IS very eyi-
evident that it has no; availei itself Of the
opportunities which eIis: for asce.,ainiuc
the truth. The extinction. by the Metro
politan Police. Of the fraudulent McEnery
government, gave al impetus to taypayinc
in this city which We frankly admit vas a
surprise. though mos: agreeable one, to
the officers OF the legal government, anu
improved the prospects for ike change
of feeling i'll the country very materially
indeed.
Had the Tines manifested its usual en-
terprise it could have learned that on Fri
day and Saturday last many Of the lead
ers of the late Fusion Legislature. repre-
senting the strongest Democratic parishes
in the State. called upon Governor Kel-
logg and announced their determination
to cease all opposition to his government.
In taking this step we feel convinced that
they were actuated solely by a desire for
the good of their fellow-citizens. In some
instances these gentlemen applied for and
obtained commissions for the parish Off
GERS chosen at the November election. and
at the same time distinctly and emphat-
ically declared that. so far from intending
to organize tax resisting societies, they
should urge upon their constituents the
duty of promptly settling their tax in
debtedness to the State.
And their example will soon become
the general practice. All classes, except
ing the comparatively small clique who
expected Office from the success Of the
revolution, are tired Of the damaging tUr
moil and useless strife which for months
has been maintained. They have been
taxed and blackmailed to promote their
own commercial and financial ruin long
enough, and do not now propose to add to
their accrued losses the heavy penalties
which tax resisting will inevitably entail
upon them under the laws.
McEnery Campbell. McCaieb { Co.
may proclamate to their hearts ccntent,
but the people are sick and tired Of them
and their pretensions. as was clearly shown
by their emphatic refusal to join il last
weeks armed demons tration. and the
marked unconcern with which they con-
templated the overthrow of those who
did participate. and the seizure of the
revolutionary headquarters. II the Times
will but contemplate these significant
facts in a proper spirit. the conclusion
cannot be avoided that opposition to the
Kellogg government. So far as it is worth
dignifying with the name Of opposition,
is ''played out" and with it. per nscessi-
tate, goes the tax resisting business in
Louisiana.

The State makes title to his home, and by
his refusal to comply with the law, that

able right "Such title shall be held and

stinate and ill-advised citizen may turn
himself and family out of house and home

PLURALITY OF OFFICES FORBIDDEN.

Upon proper theory of employment in
Office, the public is entitled to the whole
time of an incumbent. Gradually, how
ever. the improved capacity of our citizens
has enabled some Of them to draw the
salary of several Offices for services con-
structively performed. even at different
places, and at the same time. Governor
Kellogg seems determined to make each
State officer comply with his contract, and
devote his whole official time to the service
of the State in a single official capacity.
1t will be seen that the Governor has been
advised that a member of the General
Assembly is an officer Of the State
in contemplation Of law. And whereas
he has been informed that this con-
stitutional inhibition has been i'll
some instances disregarded. and that
several members Of the Genera! As
sembIy are now holding other offices of
profit, he gives notice that unless one
or the other of such Offices shall have been
resigned within thirty days from the date
of this Executive order, he vii! consider
both Offices vacant ani proceed % an.o-
tions from Office. We have had some sad
examples III which the diversion OF mans
time and attention from one O: these
offices has occasionei default by deputies
in another. 50 that it is to the interest OF
incumbents as well as Of the public. that
incumbents should be restricted to tie
discharge Of duty in q single Office.
The President OF the United States seems
to have taken the same view. and. with Il
patriotic regard 70. til: interest, OF the
federal government and tie dignity OF tie
States. has forbidden federal employees t"
accept certain State commissions. on pain
OF dismissal from the federal service.
