tir. Charles Morgan appears upon tie
scene, and files notice III equity to all
who contemplate the purchase Of the
New Orleans, Mobile and Texas railroad.
lis claim is set forth il another column,
c'othed, as we suppose, IL all the legal
terms and phrases appropriate to the case.
It appears that tie theory Of the veteran
capitalist is that tie sharp fellows who
managed tie affairs Of tie railroad in
ISL, LlaGe certain representations to lin
which were untrue, and calculated to de-
cei-e End mislead him. While thus de-
ceived, lie entered into an agreement
Y which he was to acquire an interest
in the road-the extent Ct which is
not tated, in consideration Of the trans
fer to .Le COMPANY Of certain valuable
property and some cash. He files notice
Of a petition for a resolutory action, and
sets up a claim to certain described prop
erty, such as tie wharf in Mobile, the
steamb oats Frances and Laura, tie fran
chises, rights and privileges OF construct
ing o railroad from BrasLear to Vermilion-
vi.le-tLe old route Of the New Orleans,
Opelousas and Great Western railroad
and more than FIVE thousand shares Of
2ontchaytrain railroad stock. Nothing is
said bout tie return Of the money which
S mentioned as part Of tie considera-
tior in the arrangement and agreement.
Perhaps Mr.. Morgan entertains we'll
founded notion that this has been spent
80 Ia as We can discover, this claim Of
.Ir. Morgan uoes not include any of the
vital appurtenances Of the road. The two
steamboats, are not used by it that We are
aware of, but they are good vessels and
have an undoubted value. The Mobile
wharf is also another piece Of property
which the new purchasers Of the road will
nave little or no use for; but the PontcLar-
rain railroad stock is good portable prop
erty, not absolutely essential, however, to
Tee successful running Of the other bust
ness. As for the franchise and privilege
of constructing . railroad rom Braslear
to I-ermi,ionvil!e, it is quite probable that
tie purchaser vii: regard its loss as very
small matter.
There can be LITTLE doubt that the rail-
road company has failed to carry out its
agreere nt with Nj. Morgan. whatever it
may lave been. It has failed to meet the

Of tie road, rolling stock, rights, assets

NEW ELECTION.

The acquiescence Of the Republican
party has given almost unanimous sup
port to the administration OF Mayor
Witt. The REPUBLICAN has given its
support to all measures emanatinS from
the Council which we conceived COM
mendable, and we are frank to say that
they have been not uncommon. 10 fact,
we have come to look upon the removal
of that administration, whether By mill
tary government OF by new election, as
not to be coveted I. is true that under
military government we should have per-
haps the same Republican Governor hold
ing Office under different title, with
Republican mayor and set Of Adninlstra-
tors, and number of Republicans suhor-
dinate, but we prefer the peace and con-
tent of the people even to the ag5randize-
nent Of our own party.
It is useless to argue the fact that new
election will d;splace the present incun-
b.nts of parish offices. Tie election law
says
AL elections for State. parish and judicial
officers. memhe IS CT the General Assem- bly,
and for members Of Congress shall be held
on tx irst Monday III November. anu SAID
electi ons shall ba styled the general cleo
tons.
Anew order for general election would
cover all incumbents who derived their
commissions from the last general eiec-
ton. 1t is very probable that upon new
election the same party strength might re-
place partisan5 Of the same opinion ID
Office. But orouN hey he tie same men
There would be new nominations; many
changes would be inevitable. We are as
well satisfied with Mayor Wilt, lis as
sociates and subordinates, as we could
be with any gentlemen OF their way OF
thinking. They have the confidence
of the public as respectable men, In
terested in the character and economy OF
the city. We do not care to risk their re-
moval. Whether these gentlemen and
their subordirates deem it as well for the
public interest to place other nen even

his associates and retainers higher than
several kites, if we may apply protane
metaphor to political ascension. They
may Ii sht IN their sane places, but with the
glaring eyes and seedy garments OF the
excluded patriots we should fear such a
rush :o- the soft and certain places that
the present incumbents night not find a
place whereon to rest the soles OF their
official feel. May be the public had bet

4 PLEA FOR TIE CODE.

A correspondent has addressed US g COM
munica,ion to show that the instincts of
all honorable. people are SO fred against
taking life by surprise that they employ
the mode Of single combat to prevent the
crime of assassination. So far as our cor
responder. prefers the former to the latter
mode CT redressirg personal grievances,
we quite agree with him. But We think
the code is defective SO far as it permits a
man to be the sole judge Of the nature and
extent Of the injury in his OWE case, and
clothes his summons to the ''feld of
horor" with {. peremptory character. Tie
taking Of human life in single combat,
according to all the rules Of the code, may
be called a sort of refined homicide, but
it scarcely ever proves anything or salts
fes" the survivor. It's. therefore, defec-
tive, and it is for this reason, We appre-

of the extreme South will be left to fight
against such odds? 1t will be war Of
infants or of decrepit uieillards against
the young and athletic giants OF the West.
The union Of the South for its sectional
safety has passed away. Each of those
States now seeks its own destiny. Viz
GINA invites immigration. She aspires to
draw a commerce from the South and
West, and her ports are way stations to
New York and Liverpool. Maryland is
developed on the same theory, and her
chief city claims a population OF more
than four hundred thousand, with an
immense trade drawn from the West.
Tennessee and Kentucky seek rather the
markets Of the North and Europe for their
immense provision products. The smaller
States Of the Carolina5 ard the larger cot
ton States Of the Southwest can not con-
sumo the surplus products of the West.
Every one Of these Southern States has
its separate claim upon the federal gov
eminent. Sometimes they are even an
tagonistic to each other. The Chesapeake
and Ohio canal the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, the Memphis and Norfolk road,
the Tennessee and Coosa canal, are all
intended to take away tie trade Of New
Orleans Those interests are not en-
thusiastic in favor of tie Mississippi out
let. The attempt, then, to combine these
States against the federal government is
futile. It is deeply injurious to the very
interests it assumes to protect. The past
quarrel can never be revived, nor the
former state Of affairs restored. Rip Van
Wrinkle revisits the village Of Eaglesviile
and finds King George replaced by WASH
ington and Nick Ve,lder faded into the
| forgotten. He could as easily have re-
vived the ideas and issues Of his youth
as for those who waged tie sectional con-
ficts before the war to bring back and
reopen those issues. 1t is impossible. 1t
is uugrateful It should, in common JUS
tice and in common sense, be abandoned.

most of the civilized nations of the world,
and by some treated as q crime.
THE MILK OF TIE C0COANUT.

There is a large class Of tolerabiy re-
spectacle white people all over the South
who believed until recently that the cleo
ton of a Democratic President would
nullify the amendments and secure them
full pay for their slaves from the national
treasury. This dream is now pretty we'll
dispelled. But the same class OF people
are laborirg in this State under another
infatuation. 1t is that, under a Demo-
cratic State government, they can get
more work out Of their colored laborers
than now for less money. AS they ex-
pressed it themselves in private CONVERSE
ton, eve intend to assassinate Kellogg
and establish a government OF our own
under which we can work the ID
niggers without giving them part
of the crop" According to a
writer liz the Homer Njad, this is the
daily idea Of that portion Of the Fusion
party which does not expect Office. They
have been privately promised this much
by the Fusion Office seekers III return for
their support. This intense longing to
reap the rewards of other peoples labor is
undoubtedly the secret Of the fight. 1t
must he remembered that the cotton crop
Of the South last year brought three hun
dred millions Of dollars, one-half Of
which went into the pockets Of tie col
ored people. To stop this sort of thing
is the present aspiration of Southern
craftsmanship. 1.-THE reason planting

all his labor is worth. Just so, and here
