Above all things in a newspaper
we admire vim and independence,
and Pomeroy's Democrat of New York
possesses these qualities in pre-
eminent degree. We have very little
sympathy with the Democrats polit-
lcal creed, but aside from that we
consider it one of the best and Krest
newspapers in America. "Brick n
fomeroy has made a reputation in
tue journalistic profession that is
known throughout the length and
breadth Of the land, and the very
Title OF Pomeroys Democrat will in
sure it a circulation second to that Of
no journal of it's class.

A sin of omission chargeable to the
Legislature is its failure to make the
usual annual appropriation for the
Louisiana State University at Baton
Rouge. Because of this lamentable
oyersight-we can not believe the
omission was intentOnal-the Super
iptendent of the University announces
that he isfdfced to discharge all OF
the beneficiary cadets from the insti-
tuition; but he expresses determine
ton to keep up the. excellent school
in sipte of the neglect of the Legisla-
ture, and urges those having sons to
educate to send them to the Univer-
sity instead of an institution in another
State. An excellent corps of profess
sors form the Faculty of the Univer-
sity, and the facilities afforded young
men to obtain fine education are
unsurpassed. We advise all who
anticipate sending their sons abroad
to finish their studies to address Super
intendent D. F. Boyd, Baton Rouge,
La, for particulars regarding the
State University.

We believe that some of tho men
who join the tax resisting movement
are SO impracticable and stubborn by
nature that their only object is to have
the melancholy satisfaction of crying
"confiscation" when their property
is seized and placed under the ham
mer by the Tax Collector. It is such
discontinued minds that have been
the cause of much of Louisiana's mis-
fortune, and it would be a Godsend
to the State could they be in some
manner etfectually subdued.

It appears that Senator West of
this State is opposing the confirma-
ton of Jas. F.. Casey, Esq, who has
been renominated Collector of Gus
toms for the port of New Orleans by
the President. The friends Of Mr..
Casey claim that through the influence
of the President his confirmation will
Toe secured by a majority of two votes.
The reason given by Senator West
for opposing Mr.. Casey is, that the
latter is allied to the "ring" which
seeks to control the Republican party
of Louisiana and refuses to sever his
connection Herewith. This smacks
somewhat Of the old Turner Hall and
Custom House war Of factions.

DYING HAED.

That grand old monopoly, the New Or
leans Gaslight Company. is evidently dy-
ing hard. and Its president. though pos
sessed of Jacksonian spirit. it is slyly
intimated will hardly be equal TO the task
of preventing its approaching dissolution.
The rich monopoly this corporation has
enjoyed for SO many years has not only
made it corpulen: and gouiy in its old age.
but like Falstatf, it becomes at times both
fat and saucy. After having enjoyed the
exclusive privilege for forty years of raid
ing upon the pockets OF the gas con-
sumerS OF New Orleans, it feels itself
strong enough to make good fight for
its extension. and boasts that thus far the
company has borne al. the burden" of
the gaslght war it is now waging against
the executive and legislative branches Of
our State government. The people of
New Orleans need not be told that this
strength has been extracted from their
pockets, and that it is to be freely used to
enable the New Orleans Gaslight Com
pany to continue in its highly lucrative
business,
This is not a question of politics. 1T
Is question of business: and We think
the Legislature so regarded it when it un-
dertook to correct abuses that have been
practiced upon the people of this city
clearly in violation of the charter of the
New Orleans Gaslight Company. The
president of that company would lead the
public to think. however. that it is ques-
ton Of politics. His allusion to North
ern capitalists and Southern CARPET
baggers." whom be says are to
have the exclusive privileges hereto
fore enjoyed by his company, and his
appeal to gas consumers to resist the law

stand by the old company, clearly indl-
cate this But we are 10th to believe
the people Of this city, not even that por-
ton most interested in having gas at
reasonable rate, the merchants and trades
people, the people who have been in the
past deeply prejudiced against a Repuo-
ican State government. can now be
persuaded to allow politics to interfere
in business matter that affects not only
Democrats and Republicans, but all who
reside here and are interested IN business.
Therefore Mr.. Jacksons philippe
against Governor Kellogg 70, having
signed the bill amending the charter of
the Crescent City Gaslight Company will
be Of no service in convincing either him
or the public that he did wrong. The
constitutionality of the bill can not be
determined by Mr.. jackson. And, al
though his opinion Of the Supreme Court
of this State is rather favorable to that
branch Of the State government at this
time. we are inclined to think that if its
decision should be unfavorable to the
corporation over which he presides. he
will then be disposed 20 rate it as he now
rates the other coordinate branches of
the government-corrupta and menial.
Mr.. jackson, in his recently published
card to the citizens of New Orleans, says:
Gas fast as the increase of consumption
justified the step, the price was success
sively reduced to six dollars. five dollars,
four dollars and half, four dollars, and
finally, on January I, 1874. it will be
three dollars per thousand cubic feet"
This last reduction was not announced
until few days before the Governor
signed the new bill. The object was evi-
dently to defeat the incorporation of the
new company. The price of gas being
fixed at four dollars per thousand cubic
feet by the old company, the charter Of
the new company provides that it shall be
furnished at that price by them. If it
can be furnished at three dollars, and
fair profit left to the gas company.
then the old company has been
extorting more than a fair profit from our
gas consumers, and no one ought to know
this better than Mr.. jackson. who. it is
but reasonable to presume. is well posted
in the business affairs of the company
over which he presides. This was some
thing the new company could not be sup
posed to know as we'll. They were will
ing to furnish it at the price being paid.
Therefore if there is any credit due for
the correction of this and other abuses
that had grown up under an old monopoly
that has become rich and insolent, it
should be given to the new company that
proposes tc strictly adhere to the condi-
tons of its charter.

GOVERNOR KELLOGG ON THE EICOLS0N
PAVEMENT.

We saw Governor Keliogg's fine equip
age the other day slowly making its way
along St. Charles avenue. After bouncing
along for few lengths over the old Nicol-
son pavement, which now resembles q
corduroy bridge owe. a country swamp,
the Governor gave it up, and ordered his
coachman to put about and go home. BY
the exercise of unusual care the elegant
little carriage was extricated from danger,
and we believe the Governors b.ooded
team escaped with unbroken limbs. But
it was owing to good management rather
than the passable condition o: the avenue
The Governor was surprised when he was
told that be had attem pied to pass over the
celebrated battle ground or scene Of con-
tenton between the Southern Paving
Company and the city. And he looked
absolutely incredulous when be learned
that our present City Council lacks the
nerve required to take the bul! by the
horns and have the road to Carrollton re-
paired until it can obtain the written con-
sent Of Mr.. Hart to something he has no
right to refuse. Or in short. has anything to
do with in any manner. As Mr.. Hart does
not live on st. Charles street he does not
care whether the city improves it or not.
He is engaged in suit to compe! the city
to pay for contract which he alleges was
completed and accepted long ago. and
does not seek in any manner to prevent
the city government from making such
changes as the people require. And if be
were. that would not be a sufficient reason
why the Council should pay any attention
to him.
