rHE NV ORLEANS. ST. LOUIS AND
CHICAGO RAILROAD.

The recent proceedings in chancery. by the
Illinois Central Railroad and other parties, to
obtain possession of this road under deed
Of trust, have in view the interests and MAIN
tenance of this road on q basis which will
strengthen and enlarge rather than impair or
damsge it, and will increase the value OF Its
securities. The holders of these securities
have not been slow to perceive these effects,
as they hold them at higher rates than before.
The truth is that the road became involved in
large floating indebtedness, by the enor-
nous cost Of the work rendered necessary by
the Bonnet Care crevasse, and, notwith-
standing the large and remunerativs business
Of this season. it has not been able to meet
the debt thus incurred aad pay the interest
on its bonds.
The parties to the bill in chancery, notably
the Central Illinois, one Of the richest and
strongest corporations in the West, will bring
means and credit to the aid Of the company
which will enable it tp meet promptly all Its
obligations. The result will be great relief
to all parties and will assure the wise admin
istration of this most important and valuable
of our railroads, and relieve the large num-
Der Of creditors Of ths company, who may
all now rest secure of the prompt payment OF
their claims and coupons. It is not improba.
BILE that the plaintiffs in the chancery pro-
ceedings may foreclose mortgage and buy the
road. In that case the mortgage and other
debts Of the company will be better secured.
In any event there are no reasons to appre-
bend that so valuable a road, which yields SO
large an income, will be impaired in its re-
sources by any change of ownership or al
n,iniafration

It is somewhat singular that the police Of

the particulars Of crimes Of the most serious

generally crowd the latter thoroughfare and

Yesterday morning dawned most auspiciousH
forthe celebration Of the thirty-ninth anniver.
sary OF those gallant volunteers in the cause Of
true philanthrophy, our iremen. The memories
clinging around the day and it's eventful history
IN no small measure increased public desire to
evince their appreciation Of past work noblT
done, and by early morning the streets became
thronged with the admirers OF our tireless war
riors against destruction.
II was difficuls to keep from the mind in re-
viewing the long line OF the SO bravo men
thoughts for the grand battalion Of those de-
parted heroes who years agone walked our
thoroughfares to the notes Of basoon and drum
on eccasions like yesterday, and who fell at tho
post of duty, beneath the crashing walls and
flaming timbers. The McLeods and Trad Ferrys
could not bs forgotten by their comrades even in
all the joyous hilarity Of such day.
che day was to the fremen a holiday of no
common character. Divorced. for the time be-
ing, from the ordinary ties Of everyday Life, tho
steamer on the Fourth becomes his bride, and,
with the pride OF lover, ne looks upon her bur
nished silver, and driuks in the effects of the
thorough workmanship. About II o'clock tho
procession moved from Canal street, and tho

The New Orleans Pacific Railway Com.
pany.

Act No. 20, of the Legislature, duly signed. and
q regularly promulgated by publication in the
official journal, will be found in another column
h this paper. The contemplated tax for the
benefit OF the New Orleans Pacific Railway Com
pany is to be determined by vote of the citi-
zens of New Orleans. By reference to the third
section of the act it will be seen that the said tax
Ii voted, shall, as collected, be paid over weekly
to the company, "who ehalI at once deliver to
the city for the taxpayers the necessary certif-
Gates Of stock in proper amounts.
"For this purpose the said company is author
lied to issue tax stock In any necessary sums,
and such tax stock shall have one vote in all
company elections for each one hundred dollars
thereof but not for fractional portions Of one
hundred dollars, which. however, may be trans
ferred by delivery, and any person holding one
hundred dollars Of said fractional amounts, shall
In like manner be entitled to . share OF stock"
This strikes us as most fair and equitable bill,
and we feel assured that those Of our readers
who will carefully read the act will be of the
same opinion.

were INDUCED IL.
j. Henri Burch, Henry Demas, W. P. Hlr-

other prominent colored men, spoke against
the action of the leaders of the party in ignor-

One man advised that a prominent white
leader cease writing letters for his own ag-
grandizement and work more for the party.
The white members present also had their
complaints, and when they got through mo-

not wish to purchase. We can say It will repay

The HINGES OF THE BoDY.-The joints are the
hinges of the body. rheumatism renders them
stiff and unmanageable. cold is more apt to
settle in the joints than anywhere else except the
head. The use of the adulterated liquors Of COM
MERGE is very apt to develope the earthly, chalky
secretion which, in govt, is deposited upon them.
The best substitute for such fiery potions well
as a remedy for all rheumatic and equity affec-
tons, is Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic
Echnapps.

The citizens OF New Orleans certainly pay
a sufficiently large sum of money to deserve
the employment of en- efficient police force,
and they are not to be considered as hyper
critical if they occasionally demand the
reasons why SO many killings and robberies
are committed in precincts which are gener-
ally regarded as the most populous and fire.
quented, and, therefore, lit is to be supposedly
the best patrolled, and no positive evidence
acquired by their police as to the circum-
stances or perpetrators of the deed. We &C.
casionally hear of some poor miserable drunk
ard, or petty sneak thief being arrested,
and the testimony being voiuminous and con-
elusive against him; but this is but poor off
set against the large robberies and the killings
which occur in the central ard most frequented
portions of our city, which are apparently
unseen or insusceptible Of proof by police
which is generally regarded as being extrava-
gan:ly rewarded and unusally large in num-
Der.
Imagine man killed on probably the most
frequented street in the city, at o'clock in
the afternoon, and no one seeing the occur
renee, and no one arrested for a long time
afterward; and then think of the metropolitan
police law, which compels the city of New
Orleans to maintain almost an army of police
men for the use of the State, and powerful
and effective argument against the practice

once revealed
