New Orleans and NjobiIs Railroad

The purchasers of the New Orleans, Mo-
bile and Texas railroad have found il
necessary, in their plans of reorganization.
to divide the road into two parts, and form
two new companies. FIRST, one company
TO own the road between New Orleans and
Mobile; and second, the other to build and
own the road from New Orleans westward
to Texas. The New Orleans and Mobile
Railroad Company, says the New Orleans
Herald is already formed, and has elected
its directors and officers. The stock is fixed
at $4000,000 in forty Thousand shares of
500 each. The stock IS owned by and dis
tributed among the holders of the old
second mortgage bonds, now to be can
celed, every holder OF such bonds receiv-
ing ten shares of stock in the new COM
pany for each bond of $1,000 held by him. At
an election Of directors held at the citv of
New York, on the tventy-sixth of last
month, the following named gentlemen were
elected: John b. Alley, Oliver Ames, second.
George Innis, Peter Butler, William S.
Williams. Joseph Seligman and John T.
Terry. Mr. Alley was elected president,
and Mr.. Innis vice president. Mr.. Alley,
the president of the new company, is sue
cess1ul and wealthy dealer of Lynn, Massa-
chusetts, who has represented his district
several terms in Congress and held other
offices of trust. He is quiet and modest
gentleman possesses great business Ca
pacity, and will make good railroad p1esi-
dent. He has visited New Orleans before.
and intends now to c0ne among us with
his family. and devote his time and atten-
tion TO thi. road. 1t will thus be seen that
the road between New Orleans and Mobile.
is now separated from all complications
with the road from New Orleans to Don
aldsonville and Texas: is in good financial
and business hands; is on sound footing,
and is not apt to have any but prosperous

The lberviiie EOnstrusit.e

The Infamous judiClal cOnspirators of
1beryille still gloaJ over the triumph of
thelT hendlsh scheme for the persecution of
Hon. George B. Loud, as a private letter
received from Plauueuine Thursday last
informed L. that Mr.. Loud was yet lying in
the filthy parish jail and was quite ex.
hausted and broken down in health from
the long confinement. Notwithstanding
decisive letter from the Attorney General.
seconded, We believe, by Governor Kel-
logg, the district judge ard district attorney
pro tenn have failed to alter their conduct
IN this matter, and unless some decided ac.
ton be taken by the po Sers that be, we
can see no prospect of relief for Mr.. Loud
until the Legislature meets in January. In
all justice and mercy this black outrage
upon human rights should be at once over
thrown, and the perpetrators made to feel
that they can not prostitute tie powers of
pubic positions to the qualification OF their
personal i'll will with impunity
The communication which we publish in
another column, chronicling the arrest OF
the parish Judge "a friend of Mr.. Loud's)
upon the frivolous charge of embeZzlement
OF ~. preferred by son Of the district
Judge, demonstrates conclusive!y the
anlmus OF the prosecutors of Mr.. Loud
anu his friends. Strange that beings called
men can descend to such low, despicable
and superlatively mean actions
We are glad to find that the New Orleans
REPUBLICAN and the East Feliciana Damn
Leader have united with the chief in de-
nouncing the oervile outrage, and we hope
the press of the State, and especially of Mr..
Loud's district, will raise such universal
protest against his maltreatment that the
authors thereof shall tremb!e in their shoes
at the storm of publ, indignation their
damnable conduct has prnvoked.-Domg3d.

From Alaska.
Dispatches have been received from Rear
Admiral A. NJ. PennOck, commanding the
North Pacific station, dated August 81, at
Port Townsend. The Saranac, his flagship,
left Esquimault July II, and arrived at
Alaska on the thirtieth. Rear Admiral
PennOck reports that the charts and sail
ing directions of the inland passage are de-
fective and its navigation intricate, and
says it should not be attempted without an
experienced pilot.
He had several friendly talks with the
Alaska Indians. Many of the chiefs had
visited the ship and seemed to be impressed
with the importance of being on good terms
with them. There were only few Ameri-
can traders located at the headwaters or in
the vicinity. and there Is no settlement ex-
cept at Sitka. The Alaska visited Sitka,
where she remained several days, during
three-fourths OF which there was a hard
rain.
The population has much decreased and
there has been a great falling off in trade.
Exclusive of the garrison there are not
more than 300 inhabitants, mostly Russians
and half breeds For some years past there
has been bad blood between the Stikine
and Chilicot tribes, and when at Elalin
harbor Rear Admiral Pennock was solicited
by the Stikine chief to use his influence in
bringing about reconciliation.
The Admiral talked the matter over with
the chief of the Chilicots, whom he found
ready to bury the hatchet. Subsequently
delegation ct chiefs requested the COM
mander OF the Saranac, on his return to
Elalin. to announce their coming for the
amicable settlement of all their difficulties.

The Additional Circulation.

John Jay Knox. Controller of the Cur
rency, states it is probable that all the
national banks which have applied for cur
rency will shortly deposit their bonds and
obtain their circulation under the recent
call. He believes that the whole of the cir
cnlatlon authorized by the act of July Il,
1870, will be issued before the meeting of
Congress, whereupon he will make requisi-
ton upon the Eastern banks for the with
drawal OF IS 900, 900 of their currency, to
be distributed in the Western and Southern
States, as provided by this act. He con-
slders the provision in the law relative to
this withdrawal as mandatory upon him.
and not discretionary, and that the requisi
ton upon the Eastern banks will place the
currency question under that law in such
condition that Congress will take imme-
diate action upon the subject, either by re-
pealing the sixth section of the act or by
passing law authorizing the issue of an
additional $25, 100000 for the West and
South, as proposed IN last report, or by

rOOr Shreveport.

Tie situation of the town of Shreveno,.
a. present is q curious anomaly in a genera
ton OF which the most remark ble tact il
the enormous increase it has furnished IN
the facilities of communication among men.
No quarantine established by an ignorant
Spanish IN municipality in the middle ages no
seclusion of a city of the plague in Ara bia,
was ever more complete and rigid than thai
which is now practiced upon the inhabitants
of that unfortunate town. BY land AM!
water alike they are made inaccessible to
the outer world By the telegraph alone
we learn what their deplorable condition j..
Mr.. Emerson has complained that
"The light-outspeedng telegraph
Bears nothing on Its beam"
It has at least the negative virtue Of not
being a communication OF infection, and to
this immunity we owe it that we know in
detail and freshly what the condition of
Shreveport is. 1t is condition which calls
Tor material manifestations as we'll as verbal
expressions of cur sympathy. Many brave
and skillful physicians familiar with the
form OF pestilence which is prevailing there
nave already volunteered to attend the sick
of the stricken town. But more are needed.
And the yellow fever, as all who know any
thing of 1t know, is disease which, more
than almost any other, requires to be fought
with costly weapons. The constant nursing
which it neoessitates, as well as the drugs
which are used in the treatment of it, en-
tails an expense which the sufferer can often
Ill afford to bear. 1t is simply thing not to
be thought OF, that any unfortunate should
perish for the lack of them. and it is to be
hoped that New Workers, whose generosity
can always be counted on, will not forget
the claims which the pestilence of Shreve.
port makes upon it.-New York H'orld,
