Not long since We casually referred
to the circumstance that Mr.. Bonner
Of the New York Ledger, erstwhile
an intimate friend of President Grant,
was using his paper to abuse the
President in q manner that vies with
The most ultra of Democratic mud
singers. Among other things, Bon
ner twits Gen. Grant with the fact
that only q few years since he was a
wood-hauler and a poor clerk in a
leather store. The New Orleans Son
2t the Soil, an organ Of the Patrons Of
lius5andry, rightly estimates this as
a s.nr upon the laborirg men of the
country. President Grant came from
tie working class, and this is a stain
upon his character in the estimation
q = the great thieves and gamblers !"
that infest our country-and our con

horse jockeys, also. The Son Of the

UNIMPORTANT MOVEMENT IN
RAILROAD MATTERS.

There came very near being another
change in the management of our
brief little New Orleans s. "Texas "
Railroad this week. Those who have
taken the pains to follow the fortunes
or misfortunes- the road through
its frequent variations of proprietor
ship, if we may so speak, know that
for some time past it has been under
the control of parties representing
Mr.. Frank NJ. Ames, whose inter-
ests are recognized and enforced by
an order Of Judge Woods Of the U. S.
Circuit Court. On Tuesday last
ripple was created in railroad circles
by the application Of Mcssrs. A. I.
Bennett and Lyman Dodge to the
Superior District Court of New Or
leans to be appointed receivers Of the
road. Their petition contained these
allegations s. That they, as, holders of
first mortgage bonds of the New Or
leans, Mobile & Texas Railroad Com
pany, are joint owners with the other
first mortgage bondholders, by reason
of the foreclosure Of the mortgage in
the U. S. Circuit Court, the sale made
in December last, and confirmation
thereof as to purchase by Amcs, as
their trustee, of all the rights, fran
chises and property Of the road west
Of the Mississippi river. Petitioners,
thus asserting their joint ownership,
declare their desire for a division of
interests, and pray for a sale to effect
this object.
The petition was granted, and it
seemed that Mcssrs. Bennett and
Dodge would become for the nonce
managers of the road, but the repre-
sentative of MIR. Ames' applied to the
Judge of the Circuit Cou1t and pro-
cured the issuance of a writ of assist
ance, directed to the marshal, requir
ing him to maintain Ames in posses
sion.
This put quictus upon the move
ment Of Messrs. Dodge and Bennett,
and the only further proceeding like
ly to be had in the matter is al action
for contempt Of court against Mr.. l..
j. Dodge and his attorney, j. Q. A.
Fellows, Esq, notice of the filing of
which has been given by U. s. District
Attorney Beckwith.

The official count of the Kentucky
election places McCreery's majority
at 36, 1876, which is falling off from
Leslie's vote, in 1871. The telegraph
pcrsistently announced that there
had been large gains over former
Democratic majorities, but, as usual
in nine cases out oft where political
matters are concerned, the telegraph
lied.
