Mr.. Jos. Hughes, freight agent of
the N. O., NJ. g. t. R. R. at this place,
has handed us for publication letter

Louisiana Division of the road, which
we give herewith
N. o., q Texas RAILROAD COMPANY. !
New Orleans, January Is, 1874.
JOSEPH HUGHES, ESQ.,,
Dear Sir-You can guarantee to all mer-
chants in Donaldsonville that their freight
will be shipped to them on the following
morning, sure. have been appointed agent
of the Louisiana Division and win see that
freight goes as stated above.
Respectfully,
F.W. COTTON.
In view of this guaranty of prompt
transmission of freight it would seem
to us that our merchants will find it
greatly to their advantage to bestow
at least a fair portion of their patron
age upon the road. It's rates are fully
as low as those of the steamboats, and
care is taken by all the officers of the
route to secure the safe delivery of
merchandise, besides which there is
no wharfage to be paid upon goods
coming by way of the railroad.
BASE BALL.-The weather was very
favorable for the match game played
by the Red Stocking and Stonewall
clubs, upon the grounds of the for
mer, near Dutch Stores, last Satur-
day, and the contest was a spirited
one, though rather one-sided. The
Stonewalls played uniformly well
throughout the game, and developed
more strength than even their warm
est friends gave them credit for pos
sessing. On the other hand, the play
of the Red Stockings demonstrated
their need of practice in order te
maintain the reputation they acquired
last season. We append the score o.

4 DISGRAOEFUL FACT.

| It is with reluctance that we yield to the
necessity Of giving place in our columns tc
some comments upon a most disgraceful
affair that has recently occurred in this city,
in which one of Kellogg's election officials is
the principal actor. 1t will be remembered
that the returns from the parish Of Bienvile
were brought here more than a week ago, but
for some reason or other they have not been
deposited with the Returning Board. After
closely watching the election commissioner i,
was discovered that he had deposited the re-
turns and ballot boxes with the keeper OF q
notorious hous- of ill-fame. There these re-
turns remain, and it seems that the Returning
Board is powerless to compel their removal
or secure possession Of them.
What commentary upon an executive
who would tolerate such infamous conduct
on the part Of one of his appointees. But then,
we should recollect that the returns from the
parish of Bienvile show very large majority
in favor of the Demo cratic ticket, and that
cusable delay in producing them. Such a
glazing outrage as this should be considered
by the Returning Board as direct insult,
and the perpetrator should be punished in
way that will prevent a repetition Of such dis
reputable and criminal conduct Silence on
the part of Kellogg in this affair, indicates ap-
probation, and makes him party with the
notorious Lou Dudley, to the scheme of de-
priving the people Of their votes We have
never had very exalted opinion of the moral
character of the dc facto Governor, but we
never thought him capable of so degrading
himself as to consort with such abandoned
for the purpose of defrauding the
people and sustaining his lettering usurpation.
How long will these people continue to
abuse our patience

RACING PROSPECTS.

If you are looking forward with interest to
the race and want to experience pleasure
just ride ont to the Fair Grounds and take a
look at the track. 1t is4ositively almost too
pretty for use, being as dry as bone, we'll
narrowed and thoroughly prepared in every
way. Imagination can readily picture the
beautiful animals dashing around the course
in glorious emulation, each eager to be under
the string first, and the glimmering feet of all
beating musical tattoo upon the springy track
Every morning the dainty flyers are treated
to preparatory waltz round the course, and
the little jockeys who ride them are ready
now to stake their last nickels that they can
name the winners for all the principal events.
They are solemn and wise little rascals, how
ever, and take mischievous pleasure in stuff
ing greenhorn in order to enjoy the
exquisite fun of seeing his countenanse fall
when he loses. Give us good weather and We
are much mistaken if extraordinary time is
not made during the coming meeting. Old
turtles say they never saw q more beautiful

STEP DOWN AND OUT,

| The telegraph yesterday brought US the fol-
lowing information, and we wish to direct the
special attention OF our readers, and particu-
larly the attention of the members Of the bar
thereto:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Tn the case of Jack
son ct al. VS.. Ludeling ct ais, decided in the
United States Supreme Court on Monday. the
jugdment of the lower court was reversed on
the ground that the defendants in error, while
acting in fiduciary capacity, colluded to de-
fraud the plaintiffs in error out of the purchase
of the railroad running from opposite Vicks-
burg to Monroe, La, known as the North
Louisiana Railroad.
Mark the language, gentlemen all, mark it
well, "the defendants in error, (that is to say
Chief Justice Jno. 7. Ludeling, John Ray and
others) while acting in fduciary capacity,
colluded (colluded is the word, gentlemen to
defraud the plaintiffs In error etc. Is not
that shameful Is it not humiliating that we
Of Louisiana should be called upon to listen
to so whitening rebuke to the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court, and to feel that every
blistering word is true as gospel?
We demand in the name of outraged justice
and of decency itself that this man Ludeling
''steps down and out = that he no longer de-
file the ermine and insult the members of the
bar by appearing in his seat after the terrible
judgment which has been Numbered against
him BY the Supreme Court at Washington.
That judgment is final, and not all the waters
of the ocean can wash his reputation clean
again. The members ofour bar can no longer
ignore the finding Of the court Of last appeal,
they must act upon the matter, and should
Ludeling's own sense Of the delicacy of his
position not cause him to resign, they should
formally demand his resignation.

THE HERALD's SENSATION.

The Republican, in commenting upon an ex-
tract from the New York Herald, on Louisiana
affairs, and telegraphed to this city, says Of
the BULLETIN:
1t has kept very silent in the midst Of the
futter created by the Herald. This is not only
very unusual, but very suggestive. It is not
probably owing to any considerations of deli
cacy that the youthful organ OF the White
League has remained in the back ground
while the dearest secrets of the Democracy are
thus banded about between positive assertion
and equivocal denial. 1t is certainly not from
ignorance, for little or nothing escapes the
gossip mongers Of Gravier street We can
not better account for it than by supposing it
to be great State secret which the faithful
are sworn to keep to themselves. Possibly
the Picay,uac is really s'innocent of the knowl-
edge" though we cannot suppose the BULLE-
TIN to be in the dark.
The absurdity Of the HeralTs article was so
apparent on its very face, that we deemed it
unworthy Of any notice whatever, and left il
entirely for the Republican to utilize in the in
terest of its party.
In the Herald OF the 23i, we find that this
remarkable telegram was sent from Washing
ton, and not this city, as many supposed We
were satisfied that no such trash and non
sense could be sent by Mr.. Doyle, the New
Orleans correspondent of the Herald For
this reason the BULLETIN has "kept very
silent in the midst of the tiutter created by
the HerSld" 1t was no "futter" at all,
simply because the whole affair was base
fabrication out of the whole cloth.

SUSPICIOUS MOVEMENTS.

1t is well-known that Mr.. Frank Ames
trustee for bondhoMers, has recently bought
! in at United States Marshals sale, the road
bed, interests and franchises of the New Or
leans, Mobile and Texas Railroad Those
prominent in the home enterprise now being
agitated for railroad to Central Texas are
aware that, despairing Of obtaining further
subscriptions from the people of New Orleans
to complete this road to Houston in the in
terest of non-residents, the representatives o.
the bondholders Of the Mobile and Texas
Railroad have intimated q willingness to sell
out to the home company, with representation
in the Board of Directors.
1t is generally u Understood that without the
monsyed aid of New Orleans the Houston
road cannot be built, and therefore the oper-
ated road and its franchises are for sale. A
composition and settlement has been effected
with the contractors and sub-ccntractors, and
their interests made identical with those OF
the recent purchasers Of the read. They are
prepared to make q clear title to the road and
its franchises, save and excepting the claim
Of the State of Louisiana. The State has
rights and leins as a second mortgage bond
holder, and also in the matter of the fraudu-
lent issues Of two and a half million bonds,
predicated upon ,hs so-caled Vermilionville
branch of this road to Shreveport
These claims of the State have, up to this
time, been vigorously pressed, but rumors are
thick that they may be waived, in order that =
clear title may be made in sale Of the road.
A prominent representative of the Mobile and
Texas road has been in close conference with
Kellogg, Lowell, Dibble and others, at the
State-House. Kellogg, "Ole Feel" and this
railroad magnAte were to have left last night
for the North. Dibble is left as Attorney Gen
eral. He may assume to act for the State in
this matter and dismiss proceedings before
Judge Hawkins and in the United States
Courts.
Where are Mr.. ]. @. A. Fellows and Judge
Cotton? They had charge Of this interest OF
the State. We call on them to be on the
alert. We warn Judge Hawkins that he may
give his assistance in the protection Of the in
tersst of the State.
There are no parties who can now buy or
use this Mobile and Texas road but the Home
Company now organizing They can be
feeced and their work delayed if this claim Of
the State is waived, and proceedings stopped,
and the State made victim to further extent
to an association which has not only bled us
freely, but which has kept US for years from
railroad communication with Texas.
This matter will be watched very closely
and will find free ventilation in these columns |
We do not propose to submit to railroad, any
more than political trickery and fraud, and
We earnestly hope we shall have none to
'ecord or denounce in these columns in this

It appears that for the last ten months the
imports of New York have been nearly $685..
100000. The exports were S245, 200. The
imports have fallen off s36, 500 600 from 1872
and the exports are $50, ZOO, 900 more than in
1872. The New York Commercial Adrertise,
thinks this gratifying exhibit. Let US apply
it to private citizen. A man, when he is
doing well, buys good deal. and his pur.
chases may exceed his receipts, and uice versa.
It is by no means an encouraging feature that
the imports Of the country are comparatively
small. It is associated with industrial de-
preston, misfortune and distress. When we
are able to import largely the country is pros
porous; when we are not able to do so it is
evident that there is something wrong. The
Advertiser says that New York ships nearly
one-halt of the exports of the United States,
and imports nearly two-thirds Of the foreign
goods. This may be very gratifying to New
York's local pride, but this monopoly is di-
minishing every year. People find that there
are other places they can ship goods to, and
receive goods from, foreign ports as well as
New York.
