difference between this vote and
that other. by which members voted
themselves direct increase Of compensa-
ton during their period Of service? None,
save that the last self-enri ching ordinance
was at least equal in its iniquity. The
Pacific gouge was a nugget dug out Of
peculiar pocket Of the public mine. L
need not be supposed that the public press
shall be muzzled because certain parties
to this audacious swindle dishonored the
name Of Republicans. Brooks took the
name of the Democratic party in vain, and
prostituted his position as government
director to his own personal gain. Was
it supposed that the voice of the press of
both parties should be thereby stihed?
We have given notice that we will not per-
nit the Republican party to be dishon-
ored with impunity. If individuals be
SO base as 70 disregard the honor
and interests Of the party for their
personal gains, we viii not be fools to
defend their dishonesty at the expense of
the Republican character. 1t must be
known that when a man in public service
employs his position to plumber the public,
he ceases to be Republican, and must
defend himself against the detestation Of
his late friends, as well as against the as
saults Of his enemies. We will defend no
such wrong doors. Our Indignation to-
ward those who wrong great party
by practising fraud il its name. is
greater than if they belonged to
some other party organization, just
As one feels more indignation against
a trusted domestic who has robbed
the house than against the professional
burglar. his accomplice. We would even
propose TO the opposition press a
sort of extradition treaty under which
we will reciprocally deliver up for
punishment any marauder belong
ing to either party who shall per-
petrate an act of political felony. It
is aware that this is very generous over
ture on our part, since the Democracy
having been so long out of Office the pangs
of starvation are added to the natural i'm
pulse TO plumber. Yet we waive this,
and agree to hold their thieves equally
responsible with our own.
Having read the yindication of the
Democratic Brooks. which consists Of a
spell of sickness and some virulent abuse
of General Banks. we look daily for q
report Of the Tweed dinner and speech
congratulating his friend upon his tri-
umphant acquittal. His ofense was petty
larceny in comparison with the congress
sionai combination. Tweed dealt with a
State Legislature. He merely raised the
bills of plasterers and painters. and pock-
eted his share of the discount. Perhaps
the job was too Insignificant or devious,
or Mr.. Tweed may be too modes: to &C.
cept such demonstration.

THE CENTRAL RAILROAD,

We regret to see that there is ye: lin
gering opposition to the bill incorporating
the Louisiana Central railroad. based
upon the ground that its approval by the
Governor would be 'prejudicial to one Of
the most vital railroad interests in the
State" 1t is somewhat unfortunate that
the "vital interest" so vaguely referred to
had not been named more specifically
that the public might have an opportunity
of judging of its importance without be-
ing compelled to accept the judgment Of
those who are SO willing to testify in it's
behalf. We are not aware of il more
vital railroad interest in this State than
that of the New Orleans, Mobile and
Texas. with its cooperative ally. the
Louisiana Central The object of the
latter enterprise is TO bring nearer to us
the fertile cotton fields OF the Red
river parishes. If there is any other road
tending in tina. direction, with any prob
ability tina. it will soon be constructed we
have never heard of il. And. so far as
the State is concerned there can be 10 OBJ
lection to two or more roads to Shreve-
port. if parties can be found willing to
build them. And the State ought to give
its consent to the first applicant at any
rate. and. unless bound by an agreement
to the contrary. 70 any other party that
asks the privilege. We do not care par
ticularlv for the Central road-that is, We
have no preference tor it over any other
road of equal importance: but We can see
no reason for inhibiting this enterprise be-
cause of vague and distant promise from
other parties that they intend 10 build a
road in the same direction when it suits
their convenience 70 do so. The State. or
at any rate the people of tee section
through which it is proposed to lay this
track, are interested in having road. and
have no objection, to two. but they
should not be deprived OF the one until
they are assured that the other vii! be
built.

sullen, and not disposed to go to work like
good. practical men. and help restore
peace and prosperity TO the State. There
was necessity for political action at that
time, and an opening for men IN politics.
The old political leaders could not hope
to be reinstated because the most of them
had rendered themselves ineligible for
publice Office. or undeserving OF the conf
dence Of the people they had betrayed and
misled. And yet the very portion OF this
people who might then, though inexperi-
enced in politics. have made themselves
useful by coming forward. and taking
part in the 1e-establishment Of civil
government, refused to do so. But now.
after surfeit of politics. and when the
State is languishing under superabun-
dance of politicians. and is suffering from
the want of labor in all the industrial pur-
suits. the "par excellence" representa-
tives of this people, the two hundred able
bodied men who combined to purchase the
Picayuns. in order to mould public opin-
ion. are exciting political strife. This IS
certainly a very questionable kind OF poll
tics and can not be listened to with safety
by our people at this time. Il bears no
resemblance to government. and conse'
quently can be Of no good service
to the people or any portion OF
them--not even that portion which
might hope through continuance OF po-
litical strife to obtain Office or successfully
evade the payment of taxes. Governor
Kellogg will unquestionably do his duty
regardless of the 0Jiter dicta Of his partisan
enemies He is de .facto and de Jtre Gov
ernor of the State, and must be respected
as such during his term of office. The
people of this State are not SO igno1ant as
not to know this and the Picayole has
nothing to accomplish in attempting to
teach them otherwise. Instead of politi-
cal strife it should advocate industrial
strife. THU might increase our cotton
trade this year to two hundred million
dollars. instead Of one hundred and twenty
million dollars. as reported by the COM
mercial statists.

MISSTATED.

The Times says the REPUBLICAN ''speal1s
of tax resistance as a crime" We have
not so dignifed it. It is violation of
republican compact. 1t is a refusal to
comply with contracts made in the name
of the people who have made the govern
ment. Reputation of public like the
negation of a promise, destroys all conf
dence in the faith of the parties to either;
but a breach Of promise is no felony. 1t
is rather held as moral dereliction. not
as felonious offense.

to the obscure sphere and foreign tongue
in which they are uttered. Its defense
being made in the native language Of the
United States, can not be read by any
except Americans. The Times IS, there
fore. coru,n non jatdces. We would recon-
mend to it to plead to the jurisdiction,
and let such judgment as may be claimed
90 by default. 1t will be better to meet
the iudoment than defend the suit.
