OFFENDING DUB FRIENDS.

There might have been some proba-
bility that the Virginia delegation would
have voted for the outlet canal, especially
as one of the members when here last
spring declared that he did not consider
our canal at all in conflict with that from
the Ohio to the Virginia ports.
The Missouri Democrat, however, which
has, in the name OF Mr.. Eads, taken
charge of the Mississippi, ohends the Vir-
ginia delegation by calling their canal an
"unproitable ditch, and by telling one
OF their most respected citizens, Mr.. James
G. Southall, that he is attempting to write
about things which he does not under
stand, and says that his pen ought to be
silenced, and that he may be regarded as
luminary in some places, but that in ST.
Louis people begin to tire of such stuff.
The object Of the Eads press is to throw
Oft all possible advocates of our outlet
canal, to withdraw the St. Louis support
IN Congress, and allow the bill to be de-
feated. 1t is thus considered that the
waste and abandoned outlet may be turned
over for experiment at the leisure of
contractor whose interests may be more
promoted by failure than by the success
of his experiment. In the meantime to
drive Oft the support of possible friends.

1t Is very gratifying to hear that full
representation in Congress will probably
soon be accorded to Louisiana. With such
important-almost vital-interests pending
as the Fort st. Philip ship canal, we can
afford to lose no vote or Influence. much

thusiasm as Senator Pinchback would bring
to bear upon all questions concerning the
welfare OF his constituents. MIR. Mari has

THE CENTENNIAL SPECULATION.

There is an unfortunate tendency in
human nature of oil ages and places, to
turn to private profit the highest and
noblest impulses of the popular heart.
From the craftsmen who cried "'great is
Diana Of the Ephesians, " through Jerusalem
and her jubilees, the sacred professions
| of the Jordan and the Nile.-to Mecca and
to Rome, certain great cities have claimed
| to be the peculiar locality of divine
worship. and have derived grea: gain
from the expenditures attending the
ceremony.
The city of Philadelphia now claims to
be the sacred site of our initial independ-
ence. She demands that all America shall
assemble there, to sing peans to freedom,
and rejoice around its established affairs,
on the centenary occurrence of her natal
day Philadelphia proposes on that day
to make an exposition Of all American in
dustrics. She expects Congress to con-
firm this installation Of q localized ma
tionality by the solid significance of
several millions appropriation.
We should not object that the Quaker
City should be chosen as the American
Mecca if we believed in cities consecrated
to freedom, or in 1ninistering priesthood
of liberty. We have no imputations to
cast upon Philadelphia in the day of re-
evolutionary trial. The abandonment of
that city to the British forces, the unfor-
tunate repulse of Germantown and the
imputations cast upon the Pennsylvania
regiments in the surrender of Charleston,
were accidents that might have happened
anywhere. They only show that from
Lexington to Yorktown the whole country
was united in its best efforts to enact the
Declaration of Independence, proclaimed
at Carpenters Hall, into fact recognized
throughout the world. That preamble of
freedom would have been as vain as the
same doctrines embodied in the closet of
Sidney but for the courage and endurance
of the whole American people. They
stood as one man against the insane ty-
ranny Of England. 1t will be an odd COM
mentary on the equality of these contribu-
tons to the common cause, that while the
whole republic will assemble at the place
where the Declaration of Independence
was promulgated, the tomb Of him WHO
wrote that immortal document is DESC
late, deserted and almost desecrated-
CaepsntetN Hall will be redolent with.
wealth, bsauty and valor. II wiz rescund

| A commendable spirit of activity is just
now perceptible in the work of repairing
and repainting some Of our city school
houses. A want of attention to these
buildings during many years past had re-
duced them to q shameful condition of
dilapidation and decay. Buildings whose
erection cost large sums Of money were
becoming unfit fos school purposes. and
in some cases dangerous. The roofs of
nearly all Of them leaked; the cornices
were broken and falling, and the want Of
paint had rendered them unsi9htly to be-
hold. They were. in short, SO many
sta nding reminders Of the poverty Of the
city treasury. Or Of the misapplication of
its contents. Thanks 10 the consideration
Of the present Board Of Administrators.
and to the industry and energy of Mr.
Fitze nreiter, this destruction of the school
pro perty is being rapidly arrested. The
McCarty schoolhouse. the LIE Breton, the
Ma rslall, the Franklin, the jackson Boys,
the jackson Girls, and the Magnolia
large and costly structures been
thor oughly repaired and painted. The
effects of this work are cheering to
both Teachers and pupils. Cleanly
and comfortable schoolhouses aid
greatly the work of the mental
and the moral culture of children, In
the Third District the new building for
the De Soto school, which was destroyed
by fire in March, 1878, is nearly COM
pleted. 1t will be ready for occupation
about the first of May. It is fine, large
building. containing twelve class rooms,
and will accommodate about seven hun
dred pupils When this laudable work is
finished, 1t is the purpose of the custo-
dians Of the McDonogh fund to begin the
erection Of another schoolhouse. perhaps |

The fi:aytne Is mistaken in saying that
the REPUBLICAN, has commented upon the
testimony in the Grant parish cases adj
yerseiy - the accused. 4 correspondent
from the North expressed decided senti-
nents in remark incidental to charge
against the Committee Of Seventy. Our
position is and has been, that q great OUT
yage was committed in Grant parish last
sprin: for which tie perpetrators are
guilty as principals. and those who looked
on and have since attempted to screen
them are guilty as accessories. That any
OF the parties to blame are before the
court, we have no means of knowing.
That is something for the jury to ind out.
People who have read the testimony as it
has appeared in our columns may have
made up their minds one way or the other,
but they are not on the jury. Our charge
against the Committee of Seventy is that
they have tried to raise money BY con-
tribution to defend those who are guilty
of the Grant massacre. If the men now
on trial are acquitted then the committee
stand pledged to defend the next lot. 1t
is the crime itself which the committee is
defending. And the REPUBLICAN has not
judged the accused, though we have in
sisted that the authors of the outrages
which the committee seeks to defend shall
be brought to justice. 1880

THE BATTLE OF THE GAS COMPANIES

A suit IS pending in the Superior Cotr:
between our rival gas companies. in which
it is thought the city has some interest.
and in which it is proper the representa-.
tives of the corporation should appear in
Intervention.
The controversy in this litigation turns
upon the constitutionality Of the act o.
1850. under which the old gas company
claims an extention of its charter, without
the monopoly feature: twenty years. max
ing its whole term. from its creation sixty
years. during forty Of which it enjoyed
the monopoly Of making and vsudin: gas
in New Orleans.
IA the original charter Of 1889 i: was
provided that in forty years thereafte. the
city should have the right 70 buy tho
works Of the company a: their appraised
value. and to pay for the same in
five per cen: bonds iav:n: thiyty.fve
years to run. These terms are the same
as those upon which the city became the
owner and possessor Of the Wategworks.
This right of the city may turn GU. to
bea very valuable one. A: any rate there
will be little risk IN trying. AS We have
an able City Attorney with a fair supply Of
assistants. there will be no necessity for
employing extra counsel as was done in
the Gaines ease. and the costs Of court,
in case OF defeat. would not probably
amount to more than fifty dollars. And
as it has never been renowned. may yet
be brought in as an offset in some sort TO
the white elephant the city 50. with the
Waterworks. We learn that during re.
cent negotiations between the two gas
companies the old concern fixed
the value of their property q.
three millions of dollars. but it stands on
the assessors books for much less. Per-
haps a sum between the two would be
nearer to the truth than either. The
value Of the property, however, depends
upon the uses to which it can be devoted.
If the act of 1860 should be sustained.
then the old gas company would claim to
be substituted to the rights Of the city in
the matter of buying the property for the
next twenty years. But if that act be set
aside, and we hear that the members o.
the bar generally admit it. has fatal de-
fects then the next year will bring to the
Council the duty Of instant action.
Hence the great Importance of its inter.
vening in time to protect its interest
against both the gas companies. IF its
rights in this property are dis.
turbed or called in question in any law
suit between other parties. it would seem
to be Its manifest interest to intervene and
assert such rights. We believe the credit
and resources Of the city would be greatly
benefited by a judicial determination in
favor of its claim to the succession of this
property on the terms of the original
charter Of the New Orleans Gaslight Com
pany. 1t would then be in position to
dictate terms to any company that may
the old gas company. And though
it may be deprived of the right to make
and vend gas, it would have the very
articles the company would need, and |
could dispose Of them at a fair profit, |
unless the new company can, command
more money and obstinacy than it has
credit for. s - - go fS

Cortez was the builder, before he conquered
