The rumor prevails upon the street, and
we have it from a source which to as is salts
factory, that the Central Railway Company
have concluded q bargain for some three
hundred acres Of land, lying near Green's
Bayou, and known as the Noteworthy
Place. It's frontage is one of the best sites
for extensive wharves and good landings to
be had anywhere on the Bayou, and the
water is deep and broad.
This movement appears to be one Of
earnest purpose, and when we couple all
that has gone before, of truth and conjec-
ture, we feel satisfied in saying that the
day of our deliverance is not far distant.
With the Morgan steamers coming 10 our
very doors, aud the Central connected by
rail to their wharves, we can snap our fin
gers at seaport towns" and grow to our
full size and dignity, as the railroad and
shipping centre Of Texas. Wehope the day
is not far distant when this contamination
will be heralded act.--Llouston Telegraph.

Is IT COWARDICE?

Congress extended to the negroes the
right Of suffrage. 1t was. we may sup.
pose. given to qualify them for thei,
future relations to the government. There
could not have been an anomalous
population of millions residing in the
country having no ascertained political
status. but subject to such local legisla-
ton as might be adopted toward them.
1t may have been expected that these
people would have been received by their
fellow-citizens. to be employed. educated
and protected up to the condition assigned
them. This has not been done. The
negro has never been armed, drilled or
educated. He is no warrior except when
led by those who are. He can not protect
his vote by arms, and thus in con.
test OF ahmed suffrage he is power.
less Congress has given him . right
which he is impotent to exercise against
force, right which it may cost him his

IN MISSOURI.

They have a Peoples party in Missouri.
1t is infringing npon the exclusive charter
of the Changers, as may be seen from the
following definition Of its duties:
1t is simply an uprising Of the honest,
substantial citizens in the first line, the
farmers and laborers, and the busine IS men
of Missouri to resuce the State from the
wrongs and dangers Of reckless. partisan,
ring rule, men whose names have not for
many years been heard III parties and
politics. but now feel deeply the evils we
are suffering and the necessity OF change.
They have united for a common effort. that
every citizen of Missouri, whatever his
nativity. or creed. or calling. or party atfilia.
tions, be made secure in his life. his prop.
erty and his rights: that the shameless and
alarming brigandage and rutfianism which
SO long have been permitted to disgrace the
name of the State in the eyes OF the civil.
ICED world and brighten away immigration
from our borders be at last rooted out with
a strong hand: that the farmer may feel safe
again in the solitude Of his forest or prairie
home; that the traveller may be on all the
high and byways Of the State without fear
OF assault and robbery.
This is the sketch OF its scope made by
Senator Schurz. He cautiously says that
it is not intended to be :1e nucleus Of q
new national party.
With the high claims Of st. Louis as Il
moral as we'll as industrial centre, We are
surprised to see that shameless and
alarming brigandcee and ruffianism dis
graces the State Of Missouri in the eyes Of
the civilized world. and frightens away
immigration from her borders" reminds
us Of much we have heard before. As
this organization imputes nothing wrong
to either the Democratic or Republican
parties. We must suppose that the abuses
are practiced by rogues from both parties.
and that the honest men Of both parties
have concluded to bring them to justice.

TIE BAYOU SARA WAR.

In the two columns Of trash which thu
Picayane lays before its readers under
pretense Of giving full particulars Of the
sanguinary war at Bayou Sara. we find
two paragraphs worthy Of special atten'
ton. The gist is the same in each. YET
one is received with cordial approval,
while the other is held up in establishment
and disgust. The following is approved
The whites became very much alarmed,
and a call for assistance was sent to
Woodville. Mississippi. about twenty-five
miles distant. and to Baton Rouge. In both
these places bodies of ar med white men
were raised and prepared 70 assist their
brethren in Bayou Sara.
But the following. which shows pre-
cise]y similar action ON the part Of the
colored people. is depre Gated as some
thing horrible:
They ithe negroesi are reported to be
organizing large force, even going into
Mississippi for recruits. We are on the
alert. but need arms badly.
1t is Lsillian: and lauda bic move for
the Whites OF Bayou Sara to send into a
neighboring State for brethren, but an
enormity for the negroes to pass over tn.
same road for achievements.

ASSASSINATION ASA REMEDY.

When General Syila seized the Roman
government he had lists already prepared
to put to death and exile all whom he
thought might stand in his way. The
murder by violent assassination, OF Dv
poison confdentially administered, has
always been the remedy of Asiatics, and
other peoples. who wish to change gov.

and loyal American citizens, called at the
Office of the REPUBLICAN, yesterday to ex-
plain that Mr.. J. 2. Macheca was not
authorized to speak for the Italian resi-

Italians were a small minority. We are

Among the brave men who fell in the
brief but fierce conflict on Monday last, waf
Captain j. NJ. West. an old printer and news
paper man, long and we'll known in this
city. He was on Canal street. taking notes
Of the contest for the New Orleans Bee
when ball, fired from the direction OF the
CustOmhouse, it is stated. struck him down
-Ner Orleans Times.
Nobody looks for the truth in the Times.
consequently there is no disappointment
at the publication Of the above falsehood.
We have the evidence of Charles Ringgold,
Esq. postmaster, J. L. Herwig, Esq ,
and half a dozen other eye witnesses.
that the desperate who fell in front
OF Bayley II Ponds grocery, was
killed in a hand to hand encounter with a
wounded Metropolitan. West saw the
policeman fall. and ~ shed forward to
capture his gun. The brave defender Of
the State rallied his rema lining strength,
plunged his bayone: into the bosom Of
the Ohio renegade and fired at the same
time. Both the combatants fell dead at
nearly the same moment. More than
dozen men who were on the spot, and who
have known West for years will testify
that they saw the conflict as above de-
scribed.
This West is the same man whom Cen
eral Butler sent to Fort jackson in 1872
for reasonable conduct. He has never
forgiven the United State for the indig-
nifty. and the glorious Stars and Stripes
have ever since had the effect on him that
4 red rag has on bull. He fell. how
ever, on Monday a victim to his own
hatred of his country, and at the hands of
. man who was mortally wounded in fair
light, but whom the unfortun ate libeler Of
New Orleans was attempting to rob.

In England the same amount Of careless.

that nearly 400 of this number contained
