THE EASTERN RAILROAD WAR,

The controversy between Presidents
Scott and Garrett and the gigantic cor
porations they represent has reached the
last stage of open war. Each party is
straining every nerve to strengthen his
resources, damage his opponent and Sc
cure popular favor. The Eastern papers
are gradually falling into line, one after
another, but few manifest much desire for
the success of either monopoly. The SEN
timent of the public appears to be that
the longer the war lasts the better, and
this idea is encouraged by the press from
different standpoints. Each road has some
special organ devoted to showing up the
other road as the monopoly and its own
patron the public benefactor, which will
triumph from the justice Of its position
Tie Pennsylvania road seems to have
the best of this appeal to general SYM
pathy, and makes out very strong case
against the Baltimore and Ohio. Until
several years after the war the latter road
held monopoly of the forty miles of
road between Baltimore and Washington.
1t steadily refused all offers for accommo-
dation, charged extortionate rates for
most inferior accommodations on a single
track, and only made terms when in dam
ger Of losing its profit. 1t is charged
that it has never kept the conditions of
a single agreement made with it's North
ern rivals. Mr.. CARROTS counter charges
are Of similar kind, but his chief point
is the tendency of the Pennsylvania policy
to increase the tariffs. One ferocious
charge against him, constantly reiterated,
S that he desires nothing short of the !
highest official position in the gift of the |
American people" 1t is not. likely this |
will injure him with them. 1t
S a popular idea that every American citi-
ZEN is born with the intention to be Presi- |
lent, if he lives long enough, and a man
$ none the less esteemed for cherishing
be hope against all possibility of realiz-
ng it.
From an examination of the resources
+ the roads it is apparent the war will be
long one. The Pennsylvania road, by
with the Philadelphia, Will
lington and Baltimore company, runs
trough traffic by the Baltimore and Poto-

DE TOCOUEVILLE AGAIN,

Some Frenchman-perhaps one of the
fourteen thousand aliens who have come
to New Orleans to get rich enough to 90
back to Europe-writes for the Bee some of
the bitterest and most malignant diatribes
against the people of the United States
He also stigmatizes our Republican gov
eminent as oppressive and corrupt. AS
far as We are able to judge, the French
man excels the Bulletin. which is our
crack slang journal. We have always
heard that Paris presented extremes Of
refinement and obscenity, of po-
likeness and power of low-down
blackguardism that, fortunately for de-
cent people, can not and should not be
translated. We have, unhappily, inherited
barbados and the can-can from that ex-
exemplary mother country. And the Bee
man, so far as We can comprehend, en-
ploys all the most vulgar epithets and
explosives applicable to public men in its
warfare against Republican government.
The President is by turns an imbecile and
a tyrant. Every Republican born in the
United States who immigrates into Louisi-
ana is an intruder and a carpet-bagger.
Those French who retain their own ma
tionality are the best examples and guides
for the management Of an American
State.
Notwithstanding the Conservative
agents came back from Washington with
The assurance that Congress takes no no.
lice of Louisiana except to squelch her
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-03-06

The Mansfield Reporter, Democratic
paper, has the following paragraph on com
promise: 'But for McEnery and old Mari
and a few ether old fossil Democrats, who
will persist in tying Louisiana under the
car OF national Democracy, or in making a
frying pan Of her to tie to dogs tail, we
might have some peace and prosperity for
our State; bnt these great lights OF the self
martyred Louisiana Democracy cry out
that we are taking all of the backbone out
of the national Democracy, whenever we
talk OF adjustment"
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-03-06

attempts to get out of the Union and ge
back to France notwithstanding thu
proposal of Mr.. McEnery to leave thu
settlement of the election to Congress-ir
spite of the fact that the Conservative
agents and Mr.. Penn visited the President
and held an extended conference with
him. the Bee man never suspends his fire.
Grant is still an imbecile, q monster.
Louisiana is still under his armed heel
Congress is still a. corrupt and stupid
body, in comparison with which the men,
bers of the French Chamber of Deputies
are sages and angels. That none of
these bombs have fallen into the
Republican magazine, that no solid shot
has dislodged single Republican gun or
damaged an embrazure, is due to the fact
that the Bee ordnance is very light, very
old fashioned, and wholly impotent to
throw projectile beyond the periphery
of its own limited circulation. Abuse
President Grant in French! Why, he
pays no attention to the scurrilous para
graphs directed against him in his own
natural tongue We doubt if there be one
copy of the Bee which reaches Washing
ton at all. We have. no idea that one line
OF its alien abuse has ever been seen by
the President. There is tradition that
very polite Frenchman listened with great
composure and Difference to the violent
censure of an American lady upon the
acts and character of the only Napoleon.
On taking his departure he said:
Madame, l shall soon leave this country
and 60 back to my own. When l shall
have returned l will see the Emperor.
shall give him my Impression of this great
country, and when l shall inform him Of
the very unfavOrable opinion which you
entertain of him, the Emperor, madame,
will be deeply mortified.
When the President of the United States
shall have had the unfavorable opinion
which the Frenchmen of the Bee have OF.
himself and his administration, translated |
out of dead into living and progressive
language, be will be ''deeply mortified.
Congress will likewise 60 into mourning
'or the Republican ruin predicted by peo-
pie who can not employ the American Ian
,uage in abusing American institutions.
We really think De Tocqueville had better
'e employed in improving the condition
# the French aliens or return to his pow
rful, peaceful and free country, whose
constitutions are SO much superior to our
wn.

THE BRIDGE QUESTION IN A NEW LIGHT.

THE BRIDGE QUESTION IN A NEW LIGHT.
For the information of those of our
readers who may desire to read ''the con-
fessicns of an amateur bridge builder"
and who may not be able to obtain number
six, volume three, of the transactions of
the American Society of Civil Engineers,
we will state that these confessions
may be found in London Engineering,
volume eighteen, pages 291, $50 and $40;
also, on page 1876 of the same volume will
be found very interesting paper from
which we extract the following: The paper
is over the name of T. CIaxton FidIer, and
is letter to the editor of Engineering,
dated November II, 1874:
The results Of Captain Eads experience
in regard to the temperature difficulty are
an important confirmation of the previous
results of theory; and the proposed methods
of eliminating that difficulty in the arch.
and tie do. without doubt, accomplish that
object, and with great economic advantage.
l think 1t right, however, To point
out that the form of braced arch now pro-
posed by Captain Eads bears very close
resemblance to p form which | patented in
1872. as applicable to both arches and sus-
pension bridges. A model of a rigid sus.
pension bridge upon this principle was
exhibited in the International Exhibition |
of 1873 and in the beginning OF this year q
paper was read, before the Royal Scottish !
Society OF Arts, in which the employment |
OF this system was advocated as the remedy |
for the difficulties which were shown to |
arise IN other forms from change of temper. |
allure and from yielding of abutments.
The American public is greatly obliged
to Captain Eads for having introduced
into this country this valuable invention
of an Englishman, and for giving it the
weight of his great name without detract-
ing from its value by disclosing its humble
origin.

A very interesting animal, a dwarf ele-
plant, has just arrived in Paris from India.
Cawnpore, as he is called, is nineteen years
old, but for years has not grown any, and is
now only thirty-nine inches in height. He
is remarkably intelligent and performs
many tricks. As it takes but a small
blanket and other trappings to cover this
elephant, of course his trunk is not SO big
- that of the regular menagerie-siEed ele-
plant.
