on the projected sa.o Of The railroad t

Several days ago we c,iicd the atten
ton Of the public to what we regarded
shameful nlalfcasalco and n,a}appro.
prlation Of the bonds OF the State to the
\. l.. 4 7. X. Il. Co, of which Chic1
justice LudciinG is III" president and
chief owner.
The bill authorizing the issue Of these
bonds for stock in this company was
signed by Gov. War1noth on tho 1871,
OF September last. Gov.Warmoth had
! previously promised not to Sign this
bill; he had denounced it and its author
Mr.. John Ray, and the secret of his
signature TO tIis Bill has mover yet been
given TO the public.
Eat even after HIS signing OF the. blu
1t was competent in Kellogg to refuse
TO issue and sign the bonds. to stand {,
lawsuit therefor but instead of doing
this, as he and Auditor Clinton have
uonc III other cases of clninls OH the
State for tho issue of bonds, Kcllow"
| iiastrns to issue these bonds, and the
Chief } Justice has hardly got them in
possession before he cOnsummatcs a
previous arrangement with Col. Tom
Scott to sell him the whole road, the
stocks, bonds, privileges, and throwing
III tho last issue of bonds as li.sniappc
How this can be done without the
consent of the St;ltc-Without returning
the bonds just issued, and without the
Knowledge and approval of Kellogg,
requires further investigation.
The l'icayune contributes tho follow
ing: Information in regard to the con-
tract of sale:
IT is stated tina! one Of the conditions
of this contract il that the suit now
pending ON appeal before the Supreme
Court of the Omitted States, entitled
Henry IL. Jackson ct. al. W.. the Eicls-
burg, Shreveport and Texas Railroad
Company, John II. luurlinm ct ais,
shall DC discontinued, the plaintiffs
therein, who are bontiholict:s of the
\Hk'bnr::, Shreveport and Texas
I;i,ifr'rm Company, receiving in full
settlement OF their claims fifty cents
on the dollar on the face of their bonds,
payable in new bonds of the North
Louisiana and Texas Railroad Comma
ny, secured by first mortgage on the
line.
We are informed, however, that ~
suit was :lcu Oh the chanccry side Of

for The purpose of having Labelling e
Co.'S title declared invalid. The charges
ana :tNcrfnc,its of tho bill are similar to
those made i'll the Jackson suit, with
additions. The plaintiff in this new
suit refuses to accept the compromise
to which jackson and his co-suitols
have ;.s5entat', being determined that
the Supreme Court OF the United States
shall pass upon the sale of the NicI<s;-
