New Orleans Railroad,

Some weeks ago we published an excellent
communication from one of our citizens,
signed "Agricola," oa the importance of a
railroad from New Orleans to Shreveport,
to the prosperity of both cities, and to the
people of all this region OF country. The
present situation forcibly illustrates the
correctness of the views. of our correspond
ent. Navigation on Red river is nearly sus
pended, and cotton which would have come
TO this city has been forced TO Calves ton.
Our local market is as good as any in the
South. and has not been hurt by the inter
ruption of navigation. But cotton for New
Orleans has been turned to Galveston, and
thus New Orleans and Shreveport both in :
jured. Ii We had rail communication with
New Orleans our shipments of cotton this
season would sum up at least 1000 bales.
Unless We soon have an improvement in
navigation of the river the shipments may
not be- greater than last year. The great
need of New Orleans and Shreveport is q rail
read connecting them.-Shrerepor Times.

The returns from all the States show such
decided Republican gains that it IS idle to
seek Tor local causes to account for the re.
suit In truth, this country is Republican,
just as i. was Democratic for the thirty
years previous to the election OF Bucha lan.
During that long period occasional con
vusion of popular feeling wouId result in
the election OF Wing President but the
substantial control of the nation remained
in the hands of the Democrat, irpot in the
person of chiet magistrate Of their choice,
the Il by the control of the Senate and House
ana oi the large majority OF the States, Bu.
in Buchanhn'e presidency great change
came over the spirit of this people. and dur
ing the war, as well rs since then, it has
been Enthusiastically Republican. Diseontent
with the administration or local causes
may have produced occasional dissatisfac-
tion in the rank and file of the party, but
normally the country will swing back to IT,
Republican inoorings when disturbing
causes cease to operate. The elections yes
terday, and other recent State contests
show that the Republicans. can control the
bulk OF the Northern States, and the ma.
Jority of the electoral vots, if they make
reasonably good nominations and introduce
no party heresies into their platforms. The
returns show that in Minnesota and Wis.
consin. as well as New York and New Jer-
sey, there has been large accession of
popular votes to the Republicans; and it
seems that, if no mistakes are committed
by the administration, that organization is
morally sure to carry the next presidential
election.
The Issues are shaping themselves for the
presidential campaign. BY the force of Gil
onmstances the Republican party is the
patty of resumption and honest money,
while the Democratic party, to make an
issue, will be compelled in some way TO
take contrary position. There is no doubt
but what the school question has much to
do with the increase of the Republican
vote. President Grants recent speech al
luding to the subject has evidently been
responded to by the voters at the polls

The French opera boutfe troupe appeared
Last pight at this theatre in Offspbscb's
Madame L'Archiduc,' work which had
on'y been presented to this public before in
much distorted English version by the
Soidene troupe. What seemed broad and
suggestiyely bad in the English version bv
English performers does not SO appear in
the rendering of it by the French troupe.
1hss opera was the Partisan sensation of
last year, and it opened the New York
season on the frat OF last September, with
the Same cast as given here. Its success
has been only second to the 'Grapde
Duchesse,' which it resembles some what in
the incidents of putting the humble in high
places, and in its rGl!cking fun. The music
Is spfight!y, and ia harmony with the spirit
OF the comedy, and the troupe now here
presents it at its best. II would be easy TO

Mr. Milton Mobiles has happily surprised
the patrons of the Academy by his acting
in the "Bohen.iaus and Detectives In the

and he could scarcely improve upon his

hold up to this standard, but the first act is
smooth enough and near enough to nature
to redeem much worse piece The benefit

The Mechanics Institute saved to the
State.

The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter of
the sixth says:
Governor Kellogg has addressed COM
munication to Attorney General Field call
ing his attention to the fact that the
Mechanics Institute in New Orleans is ad.
vertised for sale for taxes, and directing
him to take steps to secure the return Of
the same to the State, the Mechanics So
ciety having forfeited It's right thereto, and
the society itself having ceased to have a
legal existence by lapse of charter Had
the State taken steps to regain possession #
this property year or more ago, the ex-
pense OF purchasing the st. Louis Hotel as a
State House at enormous figures, would
have been avoided. The REPUBLICAN called
the attention of the General Assembly in
facts and figures not to be questioned, that
this property belonged to the State, and
warned the Legislature not to purchase the
St. Louis Hotel while the Mechanics Instl.
tute was actually State property, but the
admonition thrown out by our worthy cor
temporary passed unheeded and the State
became ipcumbered with worthless build
ing at least at thrice it's value. So we go.
