VOID OBLIGATIONS,


The'decision of Judge Hawkins in the
case of the State VS.. the New Orleans
Mobile and Texas Railroad Company,
probably disposes forever, of a trouble
some question. Not only is the State re-
lieved of the obligation to pay bonds
issued to the company amounting to
50, 500, 900, with interest, but mendacious
opposition orators and newspapers are
deprived Of another chance to charge
upon Governor Kellogg an act which he
did not commit. II has been favorite
deceit with uncrupulous demagogues to
charge to the present State government
the responsibility of issuing the bonds
which form the object in dispute in the
suit just decided by Judge Hawkins. AS
a refutation we have only to refer the in
telligent reader to the lucid history OF. the
legislation ON the subject given in the
opinion of the learned Judge. With the
obligations in favor of the company Great
ed by the laws prior to the passage of the
act of twenty-second April, 1871, we
have nothing to do, as they were all
Cancelled by the failure Of the company to
comply with the conditions. The act of
1871, was passed, however, under the
pretense that there was yet some life in
the old obligations, and condition
named, which, as usual the company
never complied with, and probably never
intended to. The court holds, therefore,
that the bonds issued under this act are
void for want of valuable consideration,
and the Stats officers prohibited from pay
ing the interest upon them, or recogniz-
ing them in any manner.
Governor Kellogg has been repeatedly
charged with having issued these bonds.
Those who did not 20 so far as to accuse
his excellency Of originating them have
confronted themselves with falsely repre-
sessiing that he was in favor Of paving
them, funding them, OF compromising in

themselves with sketches or pasquinades
addressed to the Spiritual Hercules of
the Century, not daring to make an open
attack upon the German chancellor, as
they are evidently inclined to do, except
for the fear of prosecution under the press
laws of that country.
Itmay be objected that, whatever resem-
blance may exist between the means
which these two statesmen have employed
to retain their object, there is none to the
objects themselves. Napoleon labored to
build up a throne that he might transmit
it to his son. Bismarck's ambition is to
aggrandize the German people The
great German empire is the idol of his
worship. This ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of his
people has become as dear to the great
chancelloras the leaving of an inheritance
to a child would be to an afectionate
parent
To accomplish this, he has made as
many sacrifices and run as many risks as
though the end of his labors had been the
establishment of an heir to throne. The
Popes of the sixteenth century are strik-
ing example Of this, and the triumph of a
policy which has governed every action of
Prince Bismarck's public life may be as
dear to him as the temporal aggrandize-
ment Of an elective crown was to child
less pontiff. In this point of view the
object of the one was as personal as the
other. Napoleon desired to make France
great in a particular fashion, and he be-
lieved no one was so competent to do this
as himself. Bismarck's actions are in
spired by the same sentiment, and to that
end he proposes to make Germany great
through the means which he alone sug-
gests and causes to be put into execution.

Turkish rule, and thus secure to them
selves absolute independence in CONNER
cial matters, and that Austria, in further
ing this desire through the aid it might
give, would place these people under an
obligation of sovereignty, in view of the
fact that they are of the same race as a
considerable portion Of the Austrian sub
jscts.
Notwithstanding the opposition of Eng
land, Count Andrassy, the Austro-Hun-
garan minister, persisted in his policy of
commercial negotiations with the princi-
pality authorities.
When it was announced that the diplo-
matte agent of the Roumanian government
had arrived at Vienna to makefnal arrange
ments for commercial convention the atti-
tude of England changed. 1t was no longer
question for England of diplomatic de-
feats. alone, but the loss Of commercial
advantages, concerning which the English
government is so sensitive. If Austria
came first England would then be shut
out of the market, and thereby lose the
very object on account of which she had
made SO many sacrifices in sustaining
Turkey against the aggressions Of her
more powerful neighbors. AS a counter
check to this visit of VI. Cestaforu as the
representative of the Roumanian govern
ment to Vienna, the English ambassador
at Constantinople has been instructed to
take the necessary steps for concluding
similar conventions with the Danubian
principalities to those. which are being
negotiated at Vienna.
The race is fair one between England
and Austria, with the chances in favor of
the former, on account of the assistance
that doubtless will be afforded by Turkey
to her English ally, she having at least
nominal control over the principally gov
eminent.
1t is satisfactory to know that in this
struggle for commercial control it will be
peacefully conducted, and whatever the
final issue may be, it will end in another
victory in favor of the settlement of all
such matters by arbitration and confer
ence rather than by force Or the arbitra-
ment of the sword.

1t seems, according to the Summit mis-.
Hissippil Times, that the action of the Mis-
sissippi Legislature. lately in extraordinary
sesAion, did not meet the wishes of the peO-
pie, and that paper charges that it did not
fulfill the promises made by the Ames Re-
publicans in the last gubernatOrial canvass
There is there, as here, demand that State
expenses shall be reduced, in order that
taxation may be lessened, and yet no posi-
tive or definite plan has been settled upon
in either State whereby the achievement Of
these ends may be accomplished. The
Times reminds the Republicans of Missis-
sippi that their party stands pledged to an
economical administration of public affairs
and a positive reduction of taxes. and as.
serts that unless these pledges are made
good, the days Of the Republican party in
that State are numbered. 1t says the party
leaders aus. rise above the petty tricks Of
political domsgoguss, and use their ener-
gies and their brains 90 originate and push
TO successful issue some well natured and
definite plan that will positively reduce
the public expenses and the rate OF
taxation. This wholesome advice to the
political leaders IN Mississippi may be read
with profit in Louisiana. The General As
sembly Of She State is now IN session, and
the members thereof are pledged to re-
trenchment and reform; and unless some
well maturod plan is adopted and made
into law, whereby the yearly expenses IF
the State can be greatly reduced andtaxA-
tiOn lowered, the days Of the Republican
party In Louisiana viii be numbered. The
peeps axe tired Of promises il fais respect.

THE VICE PRESIDENTS LETTER.


The full text of Vice President Wilson's
letter to the Springfield Republican has
been received, and will be found in an
other column. There is nothing in it to
justify such garbled version as was sent
from Washington by telegraph. On the
contrary, it is full of practical suggestions,
and chiefly a reafirmation of the policy of
the Republican party for the past six or
eight years. Particularly in Louisiana has
the earnest and persistent effort been made
to draw from the ranks of those who led
them into the rebellion that very large
class of Douglas Democrats and Old Line
Wings, who were so reluctant to be
dragged into it. Yet there have been diff
ficulties in the way which Mr.. Wilson can
not possibly be familiar with, but which
have been encountered and felt by the
Southern Republicans, as well as the
'large class" referred to.
We quite agree with the Vice President
that the success of the Republican party
is one of the political necessities of the
country, perhaps vital to the integrity and
perpetuity of the government, Also, that
it has in its own hands the means of self
preservation, and from the indications to
be seen in nearly every Northern Repub-
lican exchange, there is little doubt that
preparations are being made for a very
lively resistance against all opposition.
We have nowhere seen or heard of a
prominent Republican who despairs of
the republic OF of his party.

Something more than promises is now to be
given. Therefore, our Representatives
should drop all contentious about appoint
ments to Office, and set to work in earnest
to bring about retrenchment and reform in
this State.
A good deal has been said about reduo
ton in the salaries and fees of all offices in
the State, and disposition has been also
manifested to abolish all unnecessary Off
ces. Now, we do not doubt but there is
brains enough in the General Assembly to
originate and push forward such system
of retrenchment and reform as will reduce
the expenses of the State so materially
that a reduction IN taxation will soon
follow. When this is done the contention
for office wih be found to be far less than
at present. Then the emoluments of office
being cut down to reasonable rates-say
less than one half of what they are now
the office would be more apt TO seek the
man, than the man the office. This course
would affect alike Democrats and Repub.
lican Office seekers, and the Governors
Office would no longer be beleagured by
members OF the Legislature demanding
office for their friends. N that case the
principal cause of the strifes and turmoils of
our people would be at an end, and peace
and prosperity would soon again bless the
land. The opportunity is now afforded a
Republican Legislature to lower the ex-
penses of the State; and this can be done
without Democratic aid if Republican
members will do their duty. In that case
the people will 'render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars" and the Republican
party can truly claim to have fulfilled its
pledges to the people.
