CHICAGO VS.. NEW ORLEANS,

The Chicago Tribune is disposed to thinl
well Of the efforts Of Jefferson Davis to estab
lish direct line of steamers between New
Orleans and Liverpool or London, and TIC
divert the immense trade of the West and
Northwest from the Atlantic seaboard to New
Orleans. The Tribune says somewhat doubt
fully:
1T is calculated that, if this plan be sue
cessful, New Or cans will become one of the
greatest cities in the world"
And then adds
There Is something practicable in the plan
proposed by Davis But New Orleans will
never become the point from which North
western grain will be shipped to Europe It
VIII not pay to establish line of barges even
between Northern points and New Orleans, to
connect with the sea-going steamers line of
which there is already in existence-till the
South can afford them a return cargo, which
1t certainly cannot at present And while Mr..
Daylss efforts to benefit the South will not be
without some good effect, they will not accom-
pllsh all that he contemplated
That is good deal for Chicago to admit
but we hope to see the day when Mr. Davis's
efforts will be crowned with entire success.

WILL THEY EXPLAIN?

Some Of the city papers announce the arr
val OF Representatives Sheldon, Morey, Oar
raj and Sypher, and intimate that they have
already gone to work to secure their return tc
Congress. In this connection we would like
to hear from these gentlemen some statement
OF their official conduct As we are not sup
piled with the Congressional Globe or the Off
cial journal Of the House of Representa- ives,
we are not able to find out the position occu-
pied by these so-called Louisiana Representa-
tives upon the salary grab or back pay ques-
ton. Did these gentlemen advocate and vote
for the salary grab bill and take the back pay
for which it provided?
Again, after the almost unanimous condem-
nation by the people Of this outrage and Con-
gress was compelled to repeal the act, did our
de tacto Representatives return to the Treasury
OF the United States the back salary they had
And, finally, we would like to
know what course they pursued upon the Civil
Rights bill did they advocate and vote for it,
on the preliminary questions, or did they
dodge the issue: An answer to these inter-
rogatories will let the people of Louisiana
know something of the status oftneir would-be
representatives in the National Congress, and
Who desire again to enjoy the honor of serving

CUBA AND THE COOLIES. Spaniards in
Cuba are anxious to revive the odious coolie
trade, and commissioner has been sent from
Havana to Spain to do what he can there in
the interest of slavery The law passed in
1870 for the emancipation of all slaves born
after its passage, has not received the slightest
attention, and has had no effect whatever.
fearful dead rate among the coolies, of whom
5000 have been brought to the island from
1847 to 1873, makes it necessary that the sup
ply should be kept up by further importations.
and as the shareholders are very powerful they
may succeed in getting a port opened to the
Infamous traffic. The same commissioner who
goes to ask for more slaves will ask for ten
thousand more soldiers which shows that the
cause of the Cubans is in measure prosper
Gus, and that the power of Spain in Cuba con-
tinues to decline

1t is alleged that the recent discoveries of
Mr. Kelley of Philadelphia, of the immense
power that can be extracted from water without
the employment Of heat, electricity, magnet
ism or chemicals, will go far to lessen the diff
ticulties which have hitherto been encountered
by aeronauts. We are inclined to believe
with MIR. Richard Proctor, that the time will
yet come when men will navigate the air with
as much safety and with greater speed than
birds. The time may be far distant but, with
the wonderful achievements of science before
us, who will venture to assert that man NAV
not yet cleave the air, even as he now rushes
across continents and sails upon the bosom of
the deep?
