STEAM TO VERA CRUZ,

1t is some encouragement to be told
that the contract Of Alexander e. Sons
with the government Of Mexico. to put
on semi-nonthly line OF steamers be.
tween New Orleans and Vera Cruz. will
be reins.ated. and that we may e1pec:
communication between the two cities
about May next.
We have received copy Of bill in
troduced by Mr.. Sypher. authorizing
mail steamship service in the Gulf of Mex.
leo. between the port of New Orleans and
certain ports in the republic OF Mexico"
This service is to be performed on the
most advantageous terms Of contract. and
contains the provisions usual in regard to
ocean steam service. It is. in fact. re-
production Of a plan presented many
years ago by Carlos Butterfeld. and is
subjec. to the same principal! objections.
The voyage is to be circular. 1t leaves
New Orleans once month, touches at the
ports Of Tampico. Vera Cruz and Sisai,
and via Havana back to New Orleans.
The next voyage runs first to Havana and
then to the points in the gulf circle in the
order already named.
Why should We put on additional SER
vice to Havana when we are already in
such regular connection with that port !?
Why take an ocean steamship to the
coast ports Of Sisal and Tampico? The
latter of these ports has very shallow
bar, and presents delays in landing pas,
sengers or cargo.
This circular service can not possibly
attract to New Orleans nor the inboard
railroads the American or transatlantic
travel, mail, specie and merchandise,
which is very valuable, and which would
all pass through the United States if the
voyage is made directly between New
Orleans and Vera Cruz. We trust this
act may be amended accordingly, so that
it may be made to alternate semi-monthly

PINCHBACK'S CASE,

Our aivices from Washington indicate
that there has been considerable shifting
OF scenery at the capita! within a few
days. Taking tine views expressed by
Senator Morton as those entitled to the
greatest weight. we find that it is not in
tended to institute any further inquiries in
reference to the legality Of the last cleo
ton in this State. or to question the valid
ity Of the present State government. But
the Senator from Indiana proposes now
10 ask the Committee OH Privileges and
Elections to inquire into the personal con.
duct Of Pinchback himself with reference
to the election. We are left in some
doubt as to what election is alluded 10.
bu. the presumption is a fair one
that it is the election for Senator held by
the General Assembly. We have some
information which strengthens this view
of the case. The contest then, if this
course be adopted, will be changed from a
political to personal one. Senator
Pinchback will be assigned to the posi-
ton of defendant which has been so long
occupied by the whole Republican party
of the State. In any contest Of this kind
the Democratic Senators will be virtually
out of the fight. Their allegiance to their
party will not demand any great efforts in
a case which is likely to result in the ulti-
mate election Of Republican Senator.
But it will be viewed as q virtual aban
donment of the fight which has been
waged for more than year if the opposi.

REIMBURSE THE POLICE.

In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Masicot in.
troduced bill to reimburse the Police
Board for expenses incurred in sending
the police into the country to suppress
violence and enforce the laws Of the State,
This is an e,ninently Just and proper mea-
sure. and in introducing it and putting it
upon its passage through the Senate Mr..
Masicot will win the thanks Of q deserv-
ing body of loyal men, whose interests,
unfortunately, have not been always prop
erly supported. They have rendered ser
vices of incalculable value to the State.
but have always received poor pay and
broken promises in return.
They have never received. since the or
ganization of the force, the pay allowed
them by law. having frequently to sell
their warrants at as low price as sixty
cents on the dollar; yet, under the COM
mand of their able and gallant superin-
tendent, they have maintained a high
state Of discipline in the face of these dis
couraging circumstances. and. on two
occasions. at the risk of their lives. saved
the State government from overthrow at
the hands of disloyal mob.
Within the last year they were called
upon to perform months duty at the
State House and in guarding public prop.
erty from momentafily expected attack.
and to man five different expeditions into
the interior Of the State; and although
allowed pay therefor by law. they have
not received single full payment for all
their services. or been reimbursed for
clothing destroyed or provisions pur-
chased
It is right. therefore. that Mr.. Masicot's
bill should pass at once. and we trust he
will push it through the Senate with his
accustomed vigor.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY JANUARY 22 1874

ton Senators acQuiesce in such manner
Of shaping the question. Their hostility
to Pinchback is naturally political, not
personal: they are as likely to be satisfied
with one Republican as another. And if
the contest is permitted to take such a
shape as that indicated in the remarks of
Senator Morton, it will be regarded as a
virtual abandonment by the Democracy
Of all further opposition to the present
settlement Of this long pending dispute.
This is a reasonably gratifying prospect,
and one which the Republicans Of this
State will. no doubt, ac4uiesce in. Sena.
tor Pinchback's friends are confident Of
his ability to disprove every charge that
can be brought against him in reference
TO the senatorial election. If, in the
opinion Of the United States Senate. how.

4 GLORIOUS DAY FOR LOUISIANA.

Yesterday was glorious day for LOU
isiana. The funding bill passed the
House Of Representatives with. but a
single dissenting vote. and has gone to
the Senate for concurrence. Meantime,
the constitutional amendments. declaring
and limiting the State debt, which was SO
ably urged by Governor Kellogg in his
message. and which had already passed
the Senate, were concurred in by the
House without opposition. AS soon as
they can be engrossed they will be ap-
proved by the Governor and promulgated,
and at the next election submitted to the
people for ratification. A more satisfac-
tory days legislation has not been had in
Louisiana for many year.

THE FUNDING BILL IN THE SENATE.


The House Of Representatives has given
terrible rebuke to the lobby and to the
Fusion politicians who wish to keep alive
the prejudices against the Republican
party for debt and taxes Of which very
few Of these politicians pay a copper.
The bill passed by the House, although
not precisely wha. we would have pre-
ferred either in the rate OF interest or the
recognition Of the warrants outstanding,
is yet an immense stride in the right
direction. We anticipate that the Senate,
advised by the action Of a body more
directly from the people than themselves.
will appreciate the necessity of strin-
cent reform and substantial reduction Of
the burdens on property.
We are gratiied to observe that the
country members perceive that the weight
of the debt and taxes brushes the landed
proprietor and disables him from doing
entire justice to the laborer. 1t is to be
hoped that with the reduction Of annual
expenses the planter may be enabled to
do better part by the laborer, and this
question of wages will lose it's serious
consequences. 1t should, indeed, appeal
o the gratitude and confidence OF the
landed proprieto. that he has been re.
ieved Of burdens by the just and kindly
consideration Of those who represent the
laborers.
The country looks for early and effectual
action on this subject. When the bill
shall have been perfected BY both houses
it will be next in order to take up the city
debt and finances. The public may look
for memorable session Of the Legisla.
ture. which will render any new election
before the regular constitutional period
alike absurd and unnecessary. 1t will
not be forgotten that the Republican
party has taken the responsibility of this
great measure, and will therefore be emit.
tied to the exclusive credit.

ONE STEP IN THE Reform MOVEMENT.

one STEP IN THE REFORM MOVEMENT.
The House Of Representatives yesterday
passed the State funding bill nearly as it
was at first introduced. 4 full summary
Of its provisions have already been given,
which relieves us Of the necessity of stat
ing the substance of the bill here. Il is
generally understood that the Senate will
make some changes, which the House may
or may not concur in.
As Q whole we like this bill, though
there are some features in it which we
think it would be wise TO modify. The
great fight during the past day Or two has
been over the section making provision
for disposing Of outstanding warrants. A
portion of the members make distinc.
ton between warrants issued for different
purposes. Those issued in payment Of
salaries of officers created by the constitu.
ton are deemed peculiarly sacred, while
these same economists are wiling to let
such as are issued in pursuance Of statute
law merely to take their chances. There
is no sense in any such distinction. A
debt OF the State. authorized or required
by a statute that is itself constitutional,
is just as binding and sacred as though it
were provided for in the organic law. An
Auditors warrant which has been legally
issued is worth its face value. without any
reference to the character Of the holder.
And any regulation which gives a prefer
ence to one Of these checks on the treasury
over another is founded in wrong. 1t can
not stand the test Of equity. We are aware
that both the Legislature and the courts
have heretofore made such distinction.
But this was. perhaps. natural enough in
the one case. though inexplicable in the
other. Besides. we ough: now. to be
ready to correct the errors of the past, and
proceed upon equitable and reasonable
grounds.
The House has had a heavy labor with
this funding bill, and only succeeded in
passing it by vote of forty-fve yeas TO
forty-two nays. The public will scan the
names Of those who voted against it. and
expect some solid reasons for opposition.
It has been givens out that some of our
members are hostile to it cor reasons,
which they dare not avow. while we know
Of several intelligent. Honorable Repub.
licans who desired to make it conform TO
what they deemed strict principles Of right
before it was sent up to the Senate.
bill for funding or scaling the city
debt has also been prepared by Dir. Sewell.
and will be introduced by him as soon as
he can obtain the floor for that purpose.
We publish full copy in another place.
It will be seen that it differs very mate.
rally from the bill which has Just passed
the House. and we presume there will be
few who will contend that the departures
from the last named proposition are i'm.
provements. It will, however, soon be
brought to the attention Of the House, to
whose wisdom we are content to commit
it for the present at least.

The Pilgrim ana the knight.

10 a noble castle there once resided q
very rich knight. He expended much
money in adjoining and identifying his
dwelling, but he gave very little to the
poor. A weary pilgrim came to the castle,
and asked for nights lodging The knight
haughtily refused him, and said
" This castle is not an inn
The pilgrim replied 3" Permit me to ask
three questions and then will depart"
Upon this condition speak" replied the
knight :" | will readily answer you"
The pilgrim then said to him Who
dwelt in this before you ?"
"My father" replied the knight.
"And who will dwell here after you ~
still asked the pilgrim.
The knight said With Gods will,
my SON."
"Well," said the pilgrim, "if each dwells
but time in the castle, and in time must
depart and make way for another, what are
you here otherwise than guests The
castle, then, is truly an inn. Why, then,
spend so much money adjoining dwelling
which you will occupy but short time ?
BE charitable, for he that hath pity upon
the poor lendeth to the Lord, and that
which he hath given lie ilpay him again. y
The knight took these words to heart.
lie gave the pilgrim shelter for the night
and was ever aterward more charitable
unto the poor
