RAILROAD COMMUNICATION WITH
TEXAS.

Anterior to the last political campaign il
this State, the BULLETIN devoted much space
and all the ability it possessed, to the advo
cacy of railroad communication with Texas
We have always believed that such connec
ton was absolutely necessary to the business
prosperity of New Orleans, and now the need
Of it is most severely felt
Tie numerous railroads that have been
constructed, connecting the Mississippi River
with the Atlantic Ocean, have. by atiording
cheap rates and CELEBRITY Of transportation,
detected from us a very large portion OF the
cotton crop Tat formerly came to this port.
savannah Charleston, and even Norfolk, are
now reaping the benefit Of this change in the
| current Of trade.
This condition Of afflir5 has, e great ey-
| tent, restricted the sources of our receipts OF
cotton to the towns and plantations located
on the Mississippi and 70 the country lying
Immediately west of the river The State OF
Texas an empire within itself, has also been
tapped by railroads communicating with $.
Louis and other great Western commercial
centers and, consequently, a very large trade
which formerly found market in New Or
leans, has been taken away from US.
The Texas people have lively feeling Of
comfy and sympathy for Louisianians; fel-
low-feeling makes them wondrous kind; they
would infinitely prefer trading with US if they
could do so conveniently and proiitablv; but
unfortunately we are shut off from easy com
muncaton with the largest and most produc-
tive portion of the State, and they are forced
TO look elsewhere for markets.
Now that our political status is about to be |
determined, whether for good or evil short |
time will disclose we would do well to re-
sumo our old plans of commercial improve
ment. Foremost among these, and far more
important, in our Judgment, than all others
combined, is the scheme to construct rail
road to Texas.
In this our hoHr of depression, it is the
straw that we should clutch at, AMI that too
with the easerness and energy of drowning
men. This is no time to stand idle and hug
'the delusive phantom Of hope that the
broad bosom of the Mississippi will alone
Dear from the teeming West such an amount /
IF commercial wealth as will restore Us to our
pristine strength and prosperity.
We have too long relied upon the advan- {
ages which God and nature have placed in
ur power; We must initiate the example Of
mr. enterprising rivals and bend all our t
n6rgles to the creation Of artificial channels
4 trade, and thereby make one grand, united
fort to redeem our beloved Crescent City v
rom its present sad condition of decadence, !
nd place her in the proad and lofty position ),
nat She is SO well fitted by climate and geo c
raphical situation to hold among the famous G
cities of the world. !
Let US strive to forget, for the nonce, orr :
official troubles and perpleXities, and make c
1r city what it was before the blight of war q

CITY HALL.

Work on the Liverpool steamship wharf is
progressing rapidly, and shortly tho structure
will be completed. Il will be remembered
that under an ordinance passed February 3,
there was granted to Messrs. Ocean, Zerega 4

agents, and Col. }. c. Denis, President of the
Levee Steam Cotton Press, the privilege of
building he wharf, they to be reimbursed for
the amount expended out Of the dues collect

Messrs. PIN, Forwood & Co, agents, yester-
day pc itioLed the Council to be allowed 10
erect under the same conditions, at Post II,
Fourth District, a wharf for the use of the
West India and Pacific Steamship Company.
The arrangement entered into with the first
named parties is regarded as most favorable
one for the city, and doubtless the request Of
Messrs. PIN. Forwood & Co. will be granted.
The only departmentin the City Hall where
there Is any evidence of business is that Of
Finance The granting Of licenses, and SCI
Ting OF tax accounts, have kept the employees
quite steadily at work for the past two DAYS.
The money turned into the city exchequer

The men who voted for the Civil Rights
bill have, by that act, propitiated Buncombe,
and that was what they meant to do. In the
same interest they may feel moved to make a
clamor if the law is not enforced, but they
do not really care. law unenforced is none
the less a demoralizlng thing, so long as it
remains upon the statute book, and the COM
mon theater and tavern legislation is of more
consequence on that score than it can possibly
be in affecting the social status Of the negroes

It is therefore the mission Of the Democ-
racy to remedy the wrongs Of the whites,
while respecting the rights Of the blacks; to
correct the protiigacy of the Administration,
while guiding the country into wise channels;
to build up the entire business Of the country,
by destroying the propensities by which
special interests are advanced, to the detri-
ment OF the rest, to ditfuse Intelligence, and
thus to qualify all eventually to wise partic-

What is the class Of persons of whom it is
said that when they fall ont honest men come
by their own? The Old saw which speaks of
them was most happily illustrated at the
close of the session the other day by the
promptness Of Gen. Grant in refusing his sig
nature to the Bounty bill as soon as he saw
Vice President Wilson's name affixed to it.

HE DEMOCRAT is thoroughly in- dependent in it's course, unde" nc pledge or covenant to support the schemes or fortunes of any man or set of men, always having at heart
 first, the good of the people of Pope county, and of the state of Arkan sas. It claims no right to lead or direct in politics, or any other sphere; but it does claim the right, and will fearlessly and at all times assert it, to speak its own opinions, on all matters coming within the scope of its duty as an independent journal. Whatever prominence it maintains in the affairs of this county or State, will be voluntarily accorded by the people who support it. In short the DEMOCRAT wishes to be judged solely upon it's own merits as a local and state ncwspa- per, having for its chief object the dissemination of the news of the day with such comments upon current topics as seem appropriate and arc conscientiously entertained by its management. It will heartily sup port all movements, political or otherwise, which promise to fur thur, and unhesitatingly oppose those which would jeopardize, the interests of the people. In every department it will be as enterpris- ing as it's patronage will justify. Sensible men will approve the busi- ness management that cxpen- allure to the bounds of income; On- ly fools or enemies expect a degree of excellence in all points that can alone De attained by the possession of resources and income.
