TRUE WORDS

The Chicago Journal. an Admins

term article which lately appeared In

that the country should make General

others To play the violin. He WAS or
dered to bring home fiity-hve cents

one dollar u day, aud Whenever lie
failed To bring that amount he was
beaten by Motto with a stick and tied

Tie Railroad Sale.

The following is from the New Or
leans Herald, given as we find it, to show
how the transfer Of the raildoad pro-
crosses:
According to il communication in
the Picayune, Colonel Tom Scott was
not satisfied with the title of Ray,
Luttcifng and others to the North
Louisiana Railroad, and would not
consummatc the sale until the suit of
the parties who attack the title of these
parties on the ground Of fraud, unless
4 compromise was effected. Then KEEL
lOgg comes to the relief of these hold
crs Of Il litigious title by issuing to
them $4,000 bonds of the State, with
which they can buy off these parties,
in order to make a clear title to Scott,
and thus grab a little over a million
and quarter of dollars. In other
words, the treasury and credit of the
State arc dispensed, in order to help
all useful Radicals out of lawsuits, and
enable them to make good bad and
fraudulent titles. 1t is n system OF
general confscation and spoliation,
more INSCRIPTIONS and audacious than
was ever practiccd by any conpuerol
or dcspot who ever devastated II sub.
jugated State or people.
