Leaving cost Of $500 cubic feet Of gas.....$ s25
The lowest estimate OF the cost Of the coa1-
gas which is supplied to consumers in Chicago
at $3.50 per 1000 cubic feet is 81, which ia near
~ six times as dear aa tho wood-gas.
Having thus gained some knowledge Of the
main features Of the new gas-makiug process,
the reporter accompanied Mr. Sheldon to
THE WORKS
in course Of construction on the south side OF
tho alley below the fremont House, which are
rapidly approaching completion. Here Mr.
Sheldon pointed to the solid nature of tho build
ing, as proof Of the faith Of the Company ip
the success Of their process. Tho capacity Of
the works will be 10000 cubic feet,-auite snfi-
Gent to supply the fremont House or any Of the
hotels OF the city with light.
From these facts it is evident that this Com
pany wants to have chancs to show what they
can do. All they want is to complete their works,
make their gas, and lot tho paople themselves
Judge OF it's quality. The only reason the Com
mon Council could possess for passing an ordi-
nance to hinder their go doing would be q desire
to stand in with the monopolists against the IN
terests OF tho people which they are elected to
look alter.

and Frank Parker both for several years retired
from active operations as players, have
announced their intention to participate

and they shook hands on il. The participation
OF these two widely known WeRtcru players will
add immensely to the interest Of the tourna-

from Indiana, ono or two from Cleveland, ono
from st. Louis-enough, it is expected, to mako
q list OF ten entries.
The leading bflliard-e1perts intend to form an
association for their protection, an1 to guard
against many evils which seem to work asa,Det
their 1autuAl interests. This association will BE-
open to all billi2Ed-experta, subject to election
BY ballot. A code Of rules and regu-
lationa will be adopted, which will be
very strict, and any member breaking the aane
will be subject to summary emulsion. Daly, C.
Dion, - Uion,- Vignaux, Ubassy, slosson
Daniels, and GARNER will form the nucleus OF
organization. It is understood that Rudolphe
will be barred from membership for conduct IN
becoming billiard expert.
Dull times and disposition to coincide with
the general reduction In prices induce the pro-
prietors OF the Brunswick Hail to put billiards
down to 40 cents per hour. The new system
goes into effect tomorrow.

NEW 0RLRANs R1PUBLICAN SATURDAY JANUARY 80 1875

The judges Of the Supreme Court, Of the
Superior and all other courts, are as moth
ing when weighed in the balance against
that ably circulated journal. We doubt
whether there is q lawyer at our bar, or
anywhere else south of Pass Manchac,
who would volunteer to enter the lists,
and try a joust with the legal luminary
who ''does up the law" for our near
neighbor.
The Times refers to controversy be-
tween the Auditor and the judges in which
the latter had a decided advantage in
legal knowledge and the power to enforce
their opinions. The Times comes to the
relief Of the sole Republican official whom
it can tolerate or treat with ordinary
decency, and sustains his opinion against
the judgment of the Louisiana judiciary.
We do not object to this especially, though
we insist upon it that ''the contrivers to
defeat the law" should have had fair
trial and been heard in their defense, ''if
any they have, before being condemned.

- . reconstruction company attachment. ON
the precise principle of the Credit M0bilier,
and the chief purpose of the subsidy is to
give value to the stock Of this company,
which has been placed, of course, where it
will do most good.
The Tribune proceeds to stigmatize the
scheme Of building railroad through the
Southern wilderness to the Pacific, and
decides what the South and West alike
need is not more railroads through the
wilderness, but uninterrupted navigation
from the Mississippi to the gulf.
The South has said that it wants both
these works, but if the Tribune renounces
the railroad on her behalf what is she to
do. Pout in the corner, we suppose, until
those who know best what is good for her
put some political plum in her mouth, in
the shape of Democratic ballot.
The fact is that the position of the 71i-
bune is hard to sustain. The reason of
its hostility to the Texas road is because
it is Philadelphia enterprise intended
to flank New York out of the whole COM
mercial territory south Of Cincinnati The
Tribune speaks of the wilderness. What
then was the Union and Northern Pacific
road, through country barren, unpro-
ductive, and worked through snow tun-
nels all the winter. This was
New York road, and the Texas
road is road for Philadelphia, Baltimore
and other cities competing with New
York. This is why the Tribune seeks to
disparage it. 1t will not do. The Texas
road traverses the richest and most varied
productions in the Union. 1t will bring
to the East cotton, corn, beef and wool.
1t will open market on the coast of the
Pacific for the manufactures and other
products OF our industry. Horace Greeley
would have hailed this as great avenue
and outlet for American productions. His
successors renounce and and denounce
this road.
We should think our Democratic friends
would express some surprise that their
representative journal should renounce on
behalf OF New Orleans, any participation
IN the just patronage of the government
for the construction of the work deemed
SO important by every man in this city.
Still, having surrendered to the Tribune
the exclusive right to say what is good or |
evil Tor our city. we suppose they will |
withdraw all claims for an appropriation |
for the Southern Pacific or Texas railroad.
Let them kiss the rod. In the name of |
New Orleans we protest against the !
Abandonment of the work or the appro-
priation.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE AND THE
TEXAS PACIFIC ROAD.

| We trust that Congress, with ample ex-
perlence IN the ways of the Credit Mo-
bilier swindle, will scrutinize closely the
character Of any organization which may
claim public aid. We say this because
We desire that the Republican party shall
escape any imputation upon its legisla-
tive integrity, and because all the excess
that may be paid for work above its
legitimate cost is perpetual tax on trans
portation. We have even on this ground
objected to the clause in our Pacific rail
road grants which specifies that they shall
be built with American iron. The cheaper
and the more honestly a railroad can be
built the better for the interests they are
intended to promote. Of this the Balti-
more and Ohio road, when contrasted
with the Erie and other swindles, is the
best evidence.
Still We hop that Congress will, after
due scrutiny, insure the early construc-
ton of the Texas Pacific road. The New
York Tribune, which has been chartered
by Tammany to work up Louisiana out
RACES, and which has assumed the post of
guardian and next friend for this unhappy
state, declines on behalf of its ward any
appropriation for the construction Of this
road. 1t ibels the motives of those who
advocate the appropriation as follows:

A POINT OF LAW.

The Times hauls up for review the
judges Of the Superior District and Su-
preme Courts in matter between them
and the State Auditor, and, without
giving the judicial culprits hearing, con-
dennis them on an ex parte showing. The
arraignment runs in these words:
The charge that we make is that thew

defeat the law.

Leaving small balance which has
probably been paid to some poor State
employe. The balance of the money
turned in by Tax Collector Folger is in
bank, held to meet the warrants issued
against the various funds as set forth in
the tax collectors statement at the head OF
this article. It is well known, or should
be, to the Bulletin and the disappointed
hungry brokers. that the Treasurer can not
pay out of one fund warrants issued against
another. And in relation to that fact, while
in the humor for giving information to the
benighted and hungry, we would state
that warrants amounting to over $500, 900,
issued in 1873 to constitutional officers.
are still outstanding, and for the year
1874 similar warrants amounting to
$3.50, 900 are awaiting payment. We have
no doubt but that most of these warrants
have been purchased at heavy discount
by good Democrats from the parties who
earned them, but who could not afford to
wait upon the tax-resisters to get what
their warrants called for.
The Treasurer is simply disbursinc
officer, who receives and pays out moneys
accordingly as the laws direct. He can
pay no more than $4,000 with $4,000. And
if, as in this instance, he receives no
more than that amount, to be applied to
the general fund, the list of the delin-
qnent taxpayers will furnish the reason
why. The Bulletin closes its article by
saying that Mr.. Dubuclet sis a public
official and is responsible to the people
for his conduct" In this we fully agree.
and venture the assertion that Mr.. Du-
buclet does also. We will also further
hazard the statement that committee of
Democrats would be welcome to examine
the affairs of the State Treasurer. merely
that such committee should
be composed exclusively of those who
have paid all their taxes.
