STEAM TO RIO.

We have received copy of a bill intro
duced in the House of Representatives by
Mr.. Hancock, Of Texas, providing a sub
vention jointly with the government OF
Brazil for the establishment and main
tenance of monthly line OF mail steam
ers between Galveston and Rio, such ap-
preparation on the part Of the United
States not to exceed one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars for twelve round
trips each way. A connection between
gulf port of the United States and the
chief coast ports of Brazil is Of the Ut
most consequence. This trade was esti-
mated by the American minister in 1874
at something like ten millions of dollars
exports to the United States, and some
three millions Of dollars imports from
this country to Brazil. There can be no
doubt but that with the great reduction of
Brazilian duties on American provisions
and certain articles Of American manu-
facture. this trade must increase greatly.
The only question for the American Con-
gress, in providing facilities for this en-
larged commerce, will be to determine the
American port Of departure, and the
schedule of intermediate foreign ports at
which a line Of postal steamers should
touch.
/. The port of American departure
should be that Of New Orleans, upon
the Gulf of Mexico. It commands the
Mississippi, with its tributary connec-
tons of twenty thousand navigable
miles, supplemented and reinforced
by railroads, which place this port
within less than sixty-two hours of
all our commercial centres, East and
West. The mail service oeer all these roads
is paid for by the United States, SO that, in
adopting them as part of the through
foreign service, the government would
incur no expense, except for an ocean
service, shorter, because more direct, than
any other which can be possibly pre-
scented. 1t will be remembered that this
trade will not depend at all upon any
further improvement of the river outlet.
Tie present depth Of the bar is amply
adequate for vessels in the tropical trade.
The United States takes ffty-eight per
cent of the coffee exported by Brazil.
Our people consume more coffee than any
other in the world. The American minis
ter thinks the Southern people consume
more than the national average. If We
assume that the consumption of the United
States isl about;that of 1874, or three
hundred million pounds, then, half the
population Of the Union, geographically
dependent on the Mississippi meridian as
the line Of supply, would take one hun

". Il. HUNT, ESQ, AND TIE DEMOCRAT.

The organ of the ultra Democracy pre-
sents an exception to the generally fair
criticism extended by our opponents to
the nominees of the late Republican
State Convention. In it's zeal to serve its
party, however, the Democrat outstrips
the record, and credits Mr.. Hunt with
services never rendered, opinions never
entertained, and positions never assumed.
We quote:
He has been the attorney Of Ludeling,
Ray and others, in railroad bond suits, in
volving hundred of thousands of dollars, in
which the State is adversely interested.
Soon after Kellogg assumed the guberna-
torial chair, John T. Ludeling demanded of
him the issuance of bonds provided by the
illegal act of 1874 to be issued for worthless
stock of the North Louisiana and Texas rail-
road. to the amount Of over $500, 0C0. Attor-
ney General Field, the acting law officer Of
ity of the Governor to issue these bonds,
and did what lay in his power to protect
the State against the operations of the ne
farious act Of 1874. Ludeling, however, in
his decision in favor of Kellogg's title to
the Office of Governor, had earned his
bonds, and Kellogg. ignoring the opinion of
his Attorney General, called in Mr.. w. H.
Hunt, the attorney for the claimants of the
bonds, and asked his opinion. Mr.. Hunt
promptly advised the issuance Of the bonds,
informing the so-called Governor that he
could not, under the law, refuse to issue
them.
The mistakes in the above extract are
l. No bonds Of any description, except
consols, were authorized to be issued by
any act of 1874, or any other act passed
since Governor Kellogg's election. We
presume this, however, to be clerical
error.
2. Mr.. Hunt was not the attorney in the
suit Of the State VS.. the North Louisiana
Railroad Company. MI. Ray is the attor-
ney of record, and We are informed Messrs.
Semmes & Mott chiefly conducted the
case. We regard this point only material
as matter Of fact, because We do not hold
attorneys responsible for the character Of
the cases brought to them.
3. Mr.. Hunt has never, as we are in.
formed, been engaged professionally in
any case before the courts of this State in
which there was contest for bonds.
Other able counsel have been thus en-
gagged, but We deem them no worse and
Mr.. Hunt no better than if the facts were
reversed. We only desire to state the
true history of the points raised.
4. The suit in which the State and the
North Louisiana railroad were parties is
recorded on page sixty-fve ct seq. Of the

The Cincinnati Enquirer is ready to &C.

he is sixty.two years OF age. "In the

RENOUNCING THEIR FAITH,

Among the sacrifices Of principle COM
memorated at St. Louis is one which, if
sincere, would demoralize and disband
the Democracy forever. 1t says:
Reform is necessary to the civil service,
experience proves that the official econOmi-
cal conduct Of the government business is
not possible if it's civil service be subjected
to change at every election and be prize
offered at tbs ballot box as brief reward
OF party zeal, instead of posts Of honor as
signed for proved competency, and held for
fidelity in the pubic employ; that the dis
peneatiOn Of the p ttronage should neither
be tax upon the time of all our public
men, nor the instrument of their ambition.
This from the party that initiated the
doctrine, "To the victors belong the
spoils, is confession that would astound
the public if it were sincere. The De-
mocracy has single department of the
government. Did they observe these ex-
cellent counsels? They rushed like the
Vandals to the capital; they seized on the
salaries; they bounced" the one-legged
and one-armed soldiers of the Union, and
they installed the ex-servants of the Con-
fede1acy. Their trusted doorkeeper was,
like Aladdin, amazed at the sudden splen-
dor Of his appointment and the extent Of
his power. He testifes that these Dem
ocratic reformers ''got hold on him. and
would not let him go until he promised
them share of the plumber. With much
difficulty the doorkeeper secured posi-
ton for his son. His inability to reserve
from the rapacious reformers place for
friend who had staked him in the race for
Office seems to have been the cause of an
exposure that cost him his place. He was
cast out upon charges of which he had
been acquitted. He had been nominated
and supported in the hearing of the attor-
ney employed in his defense, and he was
expelled. Why? Because he had told the
scancalous secrets which proved the prac-

LOUISIANA CONsOLs,

We notice that the market for our lead
ing securities remains firm, notwithstand-
ing the persistent efforts of the bears to
hammer them down. About month ago
they touched 653, though the payment Of
interest was near at hand. They gradu-
ally rose from day to day till they reached
seventy, when mistaken notion about
the probable action of the Republican
State Convention, and false report that
the Democratic party, if successful, would
be hostile to them, were employed by the
bears here and in New York to beat them
down.
The nomination of Mr.. Packard is the
strongest guarantee the Republicans can
give that the funding act will be faithfully
administered and every Democratic paper
which has spoken on the subject has
pledged that party to sustain the present
financial policy. There is, therefore, no
valid reason why State consols should not
steadily advance in both markets.

Our Conservative contemporaries, we
hope, have not exhausted entirely their
vocabulary of abuse upon the late Repub-
lican convention, for if they are half as
honest and independent as they claim to
be, they will require some choice epithets
to properly characterize the wranglings
and discussions which the compound
gathering to take place at Baton Rouge so
promisingly holds out. There are rings,
and rings within rings, already forming
in the city; and mysterious reports Of
Country combinations" in this interest or
that, daily send thrills of apprehension
through the Conservatives of the City Hall
and the Bourbons of courthouse square.
The misfortune of the city Liberal
Democratic Conservative aspirants just
now is that they can not agree upon what
they want, and if the growing acrimony
is not allayed they are very apt to realize
the fable Of the ass between the two bun
dies of hay. One clique owns the only
fit and proper man for Governor; another
has one for Auditor that the interests of
Louisiana are fairly crying for; while q
third sees naught but ruin and desolation
in the future should its candidate for At
torney General be rejected. In the mean
time the '.short hair" and the ''silk
stockings" are in battle array on the gen.
eral issue as to which shall control the
delegations, regardless of individual am
billions; and if the former WIN, as seems
extremely probable, we expect the aristo-
cratic planters, who invariably control
the rural representation, to give both
them and their 'favorite sons" very de-
termined snubbing.
Considering the prospects from our very
calm and impartial standpoint and rela-
ton to the issues involved, we can
scarcely be accused of trenching upon the
realms of prophecy if we say that all the
copiousness of the press slang-whangers
will be requisite for the demands of the
twenty fourth instant.
