Referring to the fact that Mr.. BLAINE

Referring TO the fact that Mr.. BLAINE
distinguished himself last year by taking tue
stump In no less than nix Congress dis
uicts In three different States In favor of candi-
dates every one Of whom was defeated, while
his recent oratorical efforts in Maine have heen
followed by political disaster, the Portland
Argus unkindly suggests that II the Democrats
in Pennsylvania and Ohio have any DOUBTS
about the results OF the coming elections they
should prevail on the Republican State Com
mttees To put BLAINE on the stump. This Is
hardly just to Mr.. BLAINr, who ia an able man
aud forclble speaker. The trouble with Mr..
BLAINE Is that In Congress he had not the cour-
age to follow his own convictions and oppose
the worst features OF Grantism, though he
knew tho interests of the country were at stake (;
and now II has proved too heavy q burden for
his shoulders and has crushed him. When he
was Speaker Of the House, " was only the people
who suffered from the corruptons II the Adj
ministration now he knows how II Is himself

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-06-08
RAILROAD TO TEXAS.

The decision Of the Supreme Court in
the matter of certain intervenors against
the purchasers of the Mobile and Texas
railroad, under the mortgage sale to Ames,
trustee, ETC., has decided the title of the
purchaser to be valid. This, then, ex-
cludes the State, the stockholders and
creditors Of the road, and gives to the
bondholders represented by Mr.. Ames the
road to Donaidsonville. with the work and
franchises for further extension to Texas.
by precisely the same process Mr.. Morgan
has foreclosed the Opelousas mortgage,
and now holds absolute and exclusive
control of that road, with its franchises of
extension toward Texas end Shreveport.
ARoman army some centuries before the
Christian era found themselves confined
between two ranges OF mountains, which
gradually conveyed to very narrow pass.
through which the army was compelled to
pass in ignominious surrender to its enemy,
the Samnites. This pass was called the
Caudine Forks. We rather think the
present owners of the only two routes to
Texas have converged their lines at YER
milionville, and New Orleans will have to
pass under the yoke of one or both of
Of them. The question now arises what
shall New Orleans do. or rather what can
New Orleans do? 1t is, Of course, per-

by the men at their labor for the purpose
of protecting them from the ku-hlux
bands of their own calling and color.
We invite the attention of the press to
this prolonged domestic violence. There
is no difference of section. There are no
carpet-baggers and there is no collision OF
color, yet there are armed bands OF insur-
rectionists on one hand and uniformed
troops encamped on the other. For this
there can be no excuse. 1t is dishonor
to our institutions, and calls for the con-
demnation of all who respect the charac-
ter of this republic. Louisiana has had
many palliating circumstances in the con-
dition which surrounds her. Pennsylvania
was bound by her duty and enabled by
her prosperity to have preserved the peace
of society either by moral argument or by
State authority.
