our table the half of an ordinary sized
pumpkin, from the seeds of which sew.

vines are about four aud five inches IN

LOUISIANA RAILROAD INTERESTS.

The action taken by the Chamber Of
Commerce at its last monthly meeting, re-
lating to our railroad interests, IS both
timely and wise. Various causes have
conspired to put stop to the work Of the
! company that obligated itself to build a
road from here to Houston, and branch
| of that road from Vermilionville to Shreve-
port. One Of these causes. and a most
important one. was said TO be traceable to
class of our people who. for political
purpose, denounced the bonds Of the
State as worthless that were given to aid in
building these roads. We have no doubt
but the conduct OF our property holders
has helped to delay the work on these i'm
portant enterprises; but possibly there
may have been greater causes that have
been made to stand in the way Of tie ad-
varcement Of the commercial prosperity
Of New Orleans. In these progressive
days cities have rivals as we'll as lovers.
statesmen and politicians; and it is very
likely tha: if New York. acting with
Western cities whose interests are
closely blended with hers. found
it necessary to strike blow at
her great rival-tLe chief city of
the Southwest-she would give it in the
most effectual manner possible. It is
quite probable. then. that New York,
where tie directors Of the New Orleans,
Mobile and Texas Railroad Company re-
side, may be ezerting herself TO keep back
her grea: commercial rival: and there is
no better way for her to Go this than by
crippling the railroad interests Of Louis
lana. And what can be said Of the New
Orleans, Mobile and Texas Railroad Com
pany can be said with equal force Of the
New Orleans. Baton Rouge and Nicksburg
Railroad Company. In the language Of
the able report made by the committee On
railroads to tie Chamber Of Commerce,
''if the present companies either will not
build these roads, or are not able 10 do so,
they should be made to stand aside and
allow others 10 take hold who will appre-
ciate the importance Of the work and
carry them through without delay The
report farther expresses tie. opinion that
these companies have violated their COM
pact with the State, and for that reason
recommends that their charters be de-
clared forfeited. A correspondent Of the
Picaya0as, commenting upon this subject,
says:
All this is we'll enough. for the New Or
leans. Mobile and Texas Company las vio-
lated it's charter in several particulars, and
it has forfeited the aid granted by the State
to facilitate it's construction. 1t is very
sensible conclusion that as said company
have not been able to build their road
within the State limits, with the assistance
of $4,000, 900 State subsidy bonds, s, 800, 900
State bonds given to said company for its |
stock, $2,S25,oO0 second mortgage bonds !
with State Endorsement, 1885, ,000. first |
bonds, in all $ll, 10000, that |
there is something wrong somewhere. Said |
company has received from the State
New Orleans Republican., 1873-08-09

$2,5G0, 900 State bonds given for worthless
stock, $4,000 State subsidy bonds, and
$4,000 second mortgage bonds indorsed
by the State. 1t had the right to issue
$2sIo,Uo0 first mortgage bonds OF its own
to the Sabine river, and that investment in
these would secure the eventual ownership
of the road was plain.
But this company wanted too much; TO
build the road entirely with money TO be
obtained On State securities, and to own
the property themselves afrerward. Not
only the golden eggs" were stolen, bat the
goose wac killed too soon.
We are not certain that this correspon-
dent is correct in all he says, for it is rot
clear to Us that the company ever in
tended to complete the road to Houston.
He may be correct in asserting that this
company is in nobody's way now-that is
if Governor Kellogg has made up his
mind finally not to sign the bill extend
ing the time Of the company to complete
the road.
We freely admit that Louisiana's rail-
road interests have been trifed with, not
only by a portion of her own people. who.
like the dog in the manger. would neither
build railroads themselves nor let others
build them, but by railroad companies
that have received large inducements to
fulfill their contracts with the State. This
trifing wifi grave interests has already
been borne too long. 1t is to be be hoped
that some combination Of interests friendly
to New Orleans will be effected to speedily
complete railroad connection between
this city, Houston and Shreveport. If
citizens of New Orleans can control these
enterprises and secure their speedy COM
pletiou so much the better: but if they
can not or will net do it, then other aid
should be sought in a work IN which the
whole country is interested.

AN ISSUE OF FACT,

Tie Ncro,l. which is on the point Of
turning States evidence against al the
defaulting tax collectors of the last admin
istration. declares that Mr.. Woodbridge,
of Franklin parish. is one Of them, and
owes the State about six thousand dollars.
Mr.. Clinton, who is Auditor Of State, and
ought to kEov what be is talking about.
says Mr.. Woodbridge is not and has not
been tax collector at all. At first glance
Mr. Clinton would seem to be the better
authority, but when We remember that the
Herald displays wonderfully close ac-
quaintarce with al the ,ascally tax col
lectoIs IN tie State. we are dubious
which to believe. However. as Mr..
Clinton IS already after ore delinquent.
in Franklin with :air prospect OF bring
ing Lin to. !e: tie Herald prosecute the
man it thinks to blame. The party that
first ecrres a conviction shall be deemed
right. Tie 7'imes has legend on tie
subject to the effect that Mr.. Woodbridge
is dead, but the Herald oyerrules the Plea
as irrelevant. Now this has grown to be
very perplexing question. but the knot
test pcin: about it is to explain how it
came to be tie business Of the UerCiG. It
is not Auditor. It is no: the State. /.
does not represent either. And i. is not
considered quite tie thing for people to be
asking questions in which they have no
concern, directly OF indirectly.
st the rex: session Of the Legislature
Mr.. Clinton will hand in TO that high
authority an account Of his stewardship,
which. We lave not the least doubt, will
be satisfactory. And it is the more likely
to be so since the Herald is not pleased
With the manner in which he discharges
his official duties.

The WISDOM OF VIRGINIA.

Virginia believed in the right Of revolu.
tion; it had, indeed, been her birthright.
She was neither inimical to republican
form OF government nor was she ever a
convert to the doctrine of notification.
At the close of the war an effort was made
by the political mound builders to bully
her into federal politics. She resolutely
refused. She left her impotent dictators
to the remedy of the Ku-Klux and tax re-
sistance, and devoted herself sedulously
to restoring her relations with the federal
government and the Union. The mound
builders dared not question the motives
ofapeople who had given such evidences of
courage and capacity. The right Of State
