THE GREAT POINT SfTTLED,

The Supreme Court yesterday efectually
wiped out one great item Of Radical ez-
penditure, which has caused our Fusion
friends no end of uneasiness We refer to
the decision annulling the $500, 900 is
sued to the New Orleans, Mobile and
Texas Railroad Company, conditioned
that the branch from Vermilionville to
Shreveport should be commenced by a
day named in the act making the grant
The proceedings Of the State against the
company are in the nature Of an action to
put the company in default, the conse-
quence of which. as held by the court, is
he annulment of the bonds. The case was
remanded to the court below with irstruc-
tons to try the question of fact whether
the work has been begun. As tits notorious
that the fact does not exist, the case may De
considered as definitely settled, and thus,
two and half millions are lifted of the
burden of State debt.
The decision is in accordance with
public expectation, and virtually rescues
the State from bad bargain-bad not SO
much iatzinsically as from the failure Of
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-04-07

the company to comply with its terms.
We rejoice at every reduction Of the pub
lie debt that can possibly be made, but
believe it would be still better for the
State if the road were to-day completed
to Shreveport. Such a work of impro7e-
ment would be worth more to the State
than the amount of money thus saved.
For the failure, however, the company is
primarily responsible. Yet our own citi-
zens are not free from blame in the mat
ter. Protests numerously signed and
sent to all the money markets in the name
OF the people Of Louisiana, contained
the declaration that these bonds would
not be recognized as valid when the
people had overthrown radicalism. Hence
the company could raise nothing upon
them, and as our people either could not
or would not lift finger toward raising
money to build a road they needed SO
much, Northern capitalists decided to i'm
ltate their Indifference. It is true char
ter has since been granted without subsidy
to another company, but We do not hear
the sounds of the pick-az.
One thing is certain. The Chattanooga
bonds, about which there has been so
much doubt, disputation and speculation,
have been removed from the list Of |
tainted and suspected and squarely
classed among the absolutely null and
void. This is very important decision,
and its effects will in time, if not imme-
aiately, favorably effect the interests Of
his State. At the least it Will teach spec
1lators who may hereafter ask for sub
'idies that they need not expect pay be-
ore the week is done, or even com.
nenced.

OUR TRADE RIVALS,

New York has no idea to surrender TIE
Western trade to the st. lawrence or the
Mississippi. The Erie canal is subject tc
the disadvantage Of delay, so the Legisla-
ture has enacted that if any inventor shall
SO apply steam to canal ma, cation as to
move two hundred tons of cargo at speed
OF not less than three miles an hour, with
out injury to the canal, he shall receive a
premium ofone hundred thousand dollars.
1t IS now contended that the Baxter steam
canal boat has achieved the object, and
will, therefore. be competitor for the
prize.
This provision is referred TO for the pur-
pose of showing the solicitude OF New
York lest the great trade which she has
developed should be diverted upon rival
routes. The railroads can not carry grain
as cheap as water ways, and the canal
occupies such long time in Transportation
as to endanger the loss OF trade to the St.
Lawrence ard other routes Of superior
speed and capacity. In the huge com
binations Of railroad and water ways con-
tending for the natural trade of the Mis-
sissippi we see indications that cur rivals
will spare neither money nor effort 10
secure the power for which 50 many are
contending. The squabble among the en-
glneeTs. which divides our strength in
Congress, becomes deplorable, in view Of
the united and concentrated opposition Of
orr rivals. We apprehend nothing but
evil from the eleventh hour impediments
thrown in our path. !: will relieve our
rivals from much anxiety 81 13a-compe-
tition.
