proved fatal on the 18th. Jones is still st large

words-compliments that mean
neutrality-suspicious. of affection
as solid as the froth upon champa-

things are customary-are worth
less to me. There is no need of
them. 1t is proper to be civil and
courteous to the most Indifferent

ity underlies it? When one feels
friendship, the object of that senti-
ment cannot suffer, and leave our

10 see our friend successful even

is,a great joy to us; to hear that

TALKING BACK.

That was no sensational statement which
appeared in tie REPUBLICAN yesterday re-
lating how McEnery applied 70 the solid
men for money and met with flat refusal.
Money has AZ last mustered courage to
express its sense: and reason has so far
returned 20 its ascendency that it declines
70 - used by stupidity. The attempt Of
McEnery 10 convert the city of New Or
leans into = revolutionary shop for the
manufacture OF small rulers Of the
5. anish-American type. is the natural
result of the politics adopted by the
Democracy during the last five years. and
as It's et3ec: could only be to ruin the COM
merce Of the community. the business
men of the city have declined from further
being used as the paymasters OF any such
project. They very discreetly assured the
ambitious leaders Of the new rebellion
,hat while they were fusionists in prin-
ciple, they intended to remain loyalists in
fact, as any premonition Of a disturbance
would bankrupt about half their friends,
and they might have added that il would
bring ali engaged in it to a very summary
account for his treason.
We have been looking for this detection
for some time. The selfshness of tie
fusionists is such that contact with them
produces rebellion. The business portion
Of the city Of New Orleans has been sub
;ected 20 this selfish crowd for five years.
but the Office hunters and theis victims
never came directly in contact until of late
when McEnery and his associates wanted
money for their partisans. Not being
able to subtract it from any public funds
they were forced TO call upon their imme-
diate friends. and this enabled the latter TO
discover the real character Of their lead
ers, because the two parties had to come
into contact. We see the result in the d.
vorce that has taken place. Good sense
has at last asserted itself where it was
long needed, and we look forward to o
very speedy downfall! Of the clan that has
sujsisted by pretending to be the political
successors of the old Democratic party.

WHO Is DOING IT7

The advice Of McEnery to his friends to
resist the license and tax collectors who
are respected by the fusion courts and the
fusion executive officers. seems very much
ike an tlectioneering dodge to secure
business for his friends. Every judgment
rendered against the citizen for any tax or
license Will be put into the hands Of o fl
sion sheriff for execution; and is it sup
possible case that McEnery will go back Oh
his friend il refusing to recognize the au-
thority Of a fusion judge to enter up a
Judgment for a fusion sheriff to execute:
and still further. what justice is there il
al :llis fusion fuss against collecting taxes
Wien none but fusion officers are en-
forcing The collection Of the same by judi
ciai process? We pause for reply.

\ proposition TO give tie consent OF tie
State 10 transfer OF the rights and obi
cations Of the Mobile and Texas Company
to the above named corporation has been
pending before our Legislature since early
in the extra session. Aud while the bill
which has been introduced for that par
pose has not met with any positive oppo-
sition. it has unfortunately failed to eni;st
many earnest friends. The objections
that have been urged against it heretofore
are based rather upon want Of know!-
edge of the actual intentions OF the con-
trolling members of the company than
from any objection 70 their designs SO lar
as they are known.
The road which this company wants the
privilege Of building is to run from YER
milionyille to Shreveport. and IS desis-
mated in the act approved February u,
1870, as :, branch road. which the New Or
leans. Mobile and Texas company is "au-
thorized and empowered TO build This
act also authorizes the issue Of 3,Go0,0o
Of State bonds. to be given in four install
ments Of $3.50, 600 each, as the read IS
completed between New Orleans and
Houston. The guarantees Of second
mortgage bonds for the branches are lin
tied to such parts OF the said roads as
shall be completed within five years. In
1871 another act was passed authorizing
the Governor to subscribe for twenty-five
thousand shares Of the capital stock OF the
Mobile and Texas company. and to is,,.e
State bonds in payment. This purchase
Of stock was 10 be accepted in lien of the
obligation ofthe State to guarantee or il
dorse any Of its second mortgage bonds
And the company entered into an agree
ment to commence building that par: e
the road between Nermiliouvile and
Shreveport within six months. The State
subscribed and paid for the stock. BIZ. tie
company has not commenced work on the
branch road within the stipulated six
months. and is now actually in default.
II having failed TO comply with its con-
tract, it appears 70 us 20 be entirely con-
petent for the State to ente. into another
with anybody else 70 build the road, espe-
ciaIly as the New Orleans. Mobile and
Texas company appears as . conserving
party.
There does not seem 70 be any penalty
attached to the obligation Of the com
pany to build the Shreveport branch, bu:
the stock was subscribed by the Governor,
as soon as j: was signed. which appears to
