IMPORTANT
TO THE
TRAVELLING pusLlc.

1t is the duty of all persons before
starting on a journey to ascertain by
what route they can reach their dcstina-
tion with the least trouble, and if there
are two or more roads leading to the same
point, to decide which is the safest and
pleasantest to travel.
We take pleasure in stating, that the
CHICAGO AND NoRTH-W EsTERN RAIL
WAY is the oldest, and several miles the
shortest, route between Omaha and
Chicago. Within the past two years the
road bed has been put in admirable con-
dition, and almost the entire line has
been relaid with steel rails.
The Depot in Chicago is centrally To-
Gated, and as their trains arrive there
thirty minutes in advance of all other
lines, passengers can always be sure of
making Eastern connections. For all
points in Northern and Eastern Iowa,
you should purchase tickets via. Mar
shall, Cedar Rapids or Clinton. For
points in Northern Illinois or Wiscon-
sin, via Fulton; and If you are going to
Chicago or East, you should, by all
means, purchase your tickets by the
Old Pioneer Route
THE CHICAGO AND NoRTH-WEsTERN.
You will find on all the trains Pull
man Sleepers, new and magnificent Day
Coaches, and the best Smoking and
Second Class Cars now on. any road in
the United States.
Particular information, with maps,
time tables, etc., may be had at any Of
the Through Ticket Offices in the West,

any evidence Of moral weakness among
the colored people. Suppose it should
prove the error of emancipation, would
it restore slavery? By no means. To
triumph in any art Of crime is to rejoice
in a vengeance over ourselves, since every
such act impairs the peace and property
of society.
It would seem to us that society should
regard with interest every step in the in
telligent and industrial progress of our
fellow citizens. They are part of the
body polite. They can not be separated
without the loss which we have indicated.
We should therefore aid them in every
effort to attain the standard which We may
have prescribed to good citizens. They
should be so Incorporated into society, !!as
that their votes may be cast for its good,
and their arms utilized for its defense. To
favor their relapse into ignorance will be
at once en- act Of injustice and Of impoiicy.

COLORED LEGISLATORS.

We regret to observe the fippant and
persistent ridicule with which the speech
and action Of colored Representatives in
our Legislature is regarded by portion
of our city press. It may be noted, also,
that wherever crime is committed by a
colored person it is proclaimed in tn
umphant headlines, as an intimation that
such offenses are attributable to the color
and political conditions Of the offender,
and are not the incidents Of ignorance or
the temptation Of necessity. We suppose
i. will be granted that those WHO CON-
prise more than half the inhabitants and
voters Of Louisiana can not be deprived
of their rights without violence. Those
who by their labor in our fields and
houses produce and perform far the
largest proportion Of our industrial results
can not be driven from the State without
great loss to the profit and comfort Of So
ciety. Whatever may be the action in
States in which the proportion of numbers
and values created differs from that pre-
vailing here We must assume that the po-
litical rights and social condition Of the
colored people exist and must be provided
for. There have been at all times men in
the Congress and other councils Of the
American people; men whose opportuni-
ties of acquiring knowledge LAS been
limited. They have commended them
selves to the people who have chosen
them as firm and faithful men. Has it
been ever deemed just or judicious to ridi
cule such men as Crockett, or other men
of the frontier? It is the courtier sneer-
ing at the soldier.
If our premises be proper, society is
concerned to instruct rather than ridicule,
to encourage rather than rebuRe, the col
ored pupil in the art Of self-governmeut.
Suppose the Legislature makes the rules
of order subject Of study. Is it not bet
ter we should seek to learn how an act
may be performed according to law than
in defiance of law? It is, therefore, plain
that we should rather commend the pro-
gress which has enabled the colored legis-
lator to comprehend the value of parlia-
mentary law. Owing to the intolerance
OF the Democracy, they refused to accept
representation for two sessions. During
this period the colored representatives
were largely in the majority. It will be
found that the acts passed by them were
in most respects, excellent. Among them
may be enumerated the arrest and reduc-
ton of the State debt. It is of extreme
importance that every member Of society
should be qualified for public service, and
impressed with an interest in the enact
ment and administration Of the Laws.
It is in like manner uuwise to rejoice in

TIE house ELECTION BILL.

Some Of the Democratic politicians are
trying to persuade themselves that the
House election bill will go through the
Senate like dose of quicksilver or drop
of croton Gil. Vain hope. Whatever may
be the outlook in the next election
whether there is to be fair contest and
an open field Or not, the Republican party
is not yet ready to commit suicide. Nor
are they ready to surrender upon the first
summons Of the enemy the means which,
fortunately they yet have in their power,
to protect themselves from such calami-
tous overthrow as befell our friends in
Mississippi.
To guard against any accidents, the
Senate has q bill of its own, which has
been carefully prepared and printed.
Every member will have ample time to
examine its provisions carefully, and thus
be prepared to vote intelligently. He may
either approve all its sections, or disap-
prove some Of them, and, if he thinks
proper, propose notifications. When
that bill is sent to the House for concur
renee, as there can be no doubt it will be,
in some shape, each Senator will be able
to give some account Of it. This is not
so with the House bill. It is doubtful
whether more than half dozen members
know anything about it further than that
it abolishes the Returning Board, but Of
fers no safeguard against shotguns. The
Returning Board is the peaceable voters
friend. Its great rival is violence. This
is the politicians weapon, by means Of
which he expects to avert the verdict of
the ballet box which is sure to be rem

Mr.. Matthews is On the right track.
He proposes to reduce the salaries Of mu-
nicipal officers to about one-third the
rates now paid. This is the first bill Of
the season to cut down the pay or emolu-
ments OF any Democratic official, and we
doubt whether the Tenses pioneer will re-
ceive sufficient support to carry his point
Of reform. By the time this work is &C.
complished, it will be N order to fix the
fee bills of clerks Of court, cons.ables and
several other classes Of officials who are
greatly overpaid.

NEW ORIEANs REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY JANUARY %, 1876

dered next November, in case there is no
tampering with the great jury-no intlml'
dation.
The general details Of the House bill
may be satisfactory for all we know to the
contrary. It has been kept profound
secret. We only know through common
report anything about it, and that It abol-
ishes the Returning Board. Probably
any bill that does this would be satisfac-
ton to the Democracy. 1t will not, how
ever, satisfy the Republicans, and as they
have the matter entirely in their own
hands, will be sure not to accept it.
