1t is doubtless very unfair charge
against the spinsters that they can take
away character as efectually by innuendc
as by affidavit. The awful whisper
"they do say accompanied with ar
uplifting of hands and eyes, and chorus
of ''Who would thought it, will smircl
the fairest fame, and fix the most wicked
imputation. The Republican jour.
nails and ''the independent press" have
fallen upon this ingenious and irresponsi.
BILE device. Hired correspondents report
personal stories about prominent Repub.
licans at Washington. At home the
rowing reporter is sent forth with an open
letter of marque against the character
| and conduct of Republicans, with gen
eral instruction to defame and ridicule
| the colored members of that party as
much as possible. The Picayune has
furnished some standard specimens of
this latter day journalism.
While the whisky trials were in pro-
gress there was an interval during which
the government was collecting testimony
and preparing fer the trial. The Picayune
reporter dedicated his labors to ascertain
and publish the purposes of the prosecu-
ton. He was spy in the Federal camp,
but never divulged the strategy of the
defense. At the last he assembled the
hotel elevator, and triumphantly pub
lished that the Federal officer conducting
the prosecution had not, as had been pre-
tended, left town at all, but could be
plainly seen and heard through the key
hole, by which means his mysterious pur-
poses could be made known. Then the
gentlemen indicted were represented,
upon this same authority, to be impatient,
if not indignant, that the trial had not
commenced, and that they were thus
compelled to suffer in the estimation of
those who did not know their unimpeach-
able integrity.
We have small specimen of this work.
ing up public opinion in the reportorial
course of the Picayune in regard to the
extradition Of the Baton Rouge refugees.
The position of the journal is shown by
the remark upon the habeas corpus grant
ed in the case:
The question will be settled whether
warrant issued in due form, constitutes a
legal document of sufficient force to detain |
in confinement parties charged with muir. |
der.
The notice Of this matter is headed: |
"The law evaded; making political CAPT. |
tal." The intimation is, that the right of |
habeas corpus can not properly be invoked |
by these men. In this ex parte report of |
the matter it is said:
The public has been informed of the |
,r;n. 'ipal facts, but there are others show.

was, we believe, equal in amount to tina
of the Opelousas. The history of tn,
two roads before the war was the same
Each met the interest upon its obliga
tons. Their ruin was equal. Now,
responsibility accrued to the city upor
her Endorsement on account of these
roads, and it is asserted, that upon al
experience so unfortunate, the city should
not subscribe TO another railroad, lest thu
debt should be, in like manner, invoked
We hear good deal of vaporing abou,
Confederate sacrifices with good deal Of
boast about Confederate services. With.
out expression of opinion of the cause
which the REPUBLICAN, of course con.
dennis, we have no hesitation in saw.
ing that the men who neither held real
estate then nor hold it now made such
sacrifices Of life, limb and services as
orght to convince their Confederate asso.
clates that they can as well be intrusted
with the representation as with the de.
tense of this real estate. We will say in
behalf of the railroads, that they were
seized, used and worn out either in the
services Of the one or the other army.
They were unfortunate these railroads
they could not take foreign pro-
lection; they could not profess loyalty;
they could not escape to the ocean
shores Of Nassau, the saloons Of Paris,
the salubrious climate of Canada, nor
even take refuge in the interior of Ken
lucky with some of our red-eyed DEM
ocracy. No; these poor agents of COM
mercial usefulness were perverted to the
ruthless servitude of war. Neither side
paid for their services, and at the close of
the war it was found that the unpaid in
terest on their debt had accumulated;
they were unable to reinstate their opera
tons, went into liquidation. and are now
the property of others. The city lost
her investment with others, but it is
not just to charge these roads with
having caused by Encouragement or in
capacity the burdens that weigh upon the
city at present. 1t is but just tc give to
the Jackson road the credit of having
built up a part of the city; to the
Opelousas road of having attracted capt.
tai, and to both the merit of conducting
in great part the travel and commerce of
our city. Both these roads are still run
ming, still in the service of the city, still
efecting exactly what their projectors
predicted. To suppose all our railroads
destroyed or obs.ructed would be to
imagine almost the disconnection of New
Orleans with the outer world. So far,
then, for holding railroads response
bic for the debt and embarrassment of
New Orleans, we affirm that their ser
vices, with the addition to the taxable
values which their construction and OPP
aration has caused, far more than indem-
nifty New Orleans for the sums she had
been compelled by their construction to
pay. Without them we assert the decline

orleans and impel her upon path of tu-

The popularity of a line of travel depends
largely upon the urbanity and obliging dis
position of its operators. Captain George

opinions from tourists for his ever ready
