About Don to-day Hon. CELSIUS Price
and d. C. Stone, of this city made a for
NAL demand Of JAS. G. Neldlet, vice
president of the police commissioner, for
an unconditional release of the prisoner,
who has been confined at the tour courts
several days, under the supposition that
he was Frank James, one of the North
field, Minnesota, bank robbers. The
demand was based upon what was
deemed good evidence, that the man is
not only not Frank James, but that he
has had no connection with the james
boys, and had nothing to do with the
robbery. This evidence is greatly
strengthened by the opinion of the ply
slclans and surgeons, who have made Il
critical examination of his wound; that
the injury could not have been inflicted
within four months, and may have been
received rs long as a year ago. The
demand was promptly complied with
and an order at once issued by Mr..
Ncidlet, directing Chief Police Melon
ough to release the %prisonsr. He was
immediately taken to the SouthernIotel
where he is now stopping. Major
Rainwater. member OF the police board.
also joined in the demand upon the vice
president, he having believed all the
time that the mar was wrongfully held
in duress. The belief seems to be gen.
eral that the mans name is Goodwin as
he claims, and that his story about him.
self is at least measurably true. He
intimates that he will remain and pros
ecute tor false imprisonment.

he expressed the opinion that the present

country would experience a new era of
prosperity until over-production and
over-trading produced another reyulsion.

The regular animal meeting of tins body was

ishes with the morning sun. Ludeling
and his associates cannot now say that
the proceeds Of these bonds went to re-
pair and improve this railroad, for they
have claimed, and will probably re-
cover, from the vicksburg, Shreveport
and Texas Railroad Company, under the
recent decision Of Judge Woods. the
value OF the repairs and improvements
they made. The argument that the
North Louisiana and Texas Railroad
Company was distinct from Ludeling
and associates was disposed Of almost
contemptuousIy by the Supreme Court
OF the United States In these brief terms.

We have little doubt, therefore, that
Ludeling and his associates will yet be
required to account for the State bonds

aeoper and more general interest In the
establishment Of q Democratic journal
n New Orleans than We supposed ex-
hted.
There will be no change In the policy
q the paper. So far ~ We understand
them, It will defend the interests OF the
people at large, and seek to secure the
nonination OF q truly representative
Democratic ticket, by doing ell that 1t
possibly can to promote the appoint
ment OF true and untrammeled men as
delegates to the State Convention. The
DnMoCRAT belongs to no clique; 1t is
under the influence OF no special In
terests, and 1t has no favorite candidate
whose interests its purpose is to ad-
vance. Our fight is for the Democratic-
Conservative party. and In behalf OF
the best interests Of the people Of this
State, Of all classes. occupations and
races.
The DEMOCRAT Is now more than ever,
from the nature Of the means which re-
vived It, the paper OF the people. The
money which has been raised to insure
its establishment has been derived, not
from one or two. nor even from dozen
mon; neither has It been subscribed
BY the friends OF any candidate, or Of
any special interest In the party. but by
members Of the Democratic-C Con-
ssrvative party. The sum subscribed
h considerable, and It has been re-
eeivod from men Of email means
and rich men; from men Of all occupa-
lions, and from the friends Of all candi-
dates. It has been said that the Demo-
cRAf was the organ Of clique; that 1t
was rum In the interest Of this or that
candidate. We assure the public that
these stories are untrue. The paper Is
the organ Of the Democratic- Conserva-
Mo party, and It's aim will be to secure,
- ~ q It can, the election of the can
didAtes that the party may nominate,
and the successful Inauguration OF the
policy advocated by that party In the
administration Of public affairs.

An effort has been made to identify
the rame OF Lieutenant Governor Penn
with the third party movement, and to
represent him as opposing the Demo

spect grave injustice has been done
Governor Penn. He and his friends,
we understand. will submit his name to
the arbitrament Of the Baton Rouge
Convention and abide by its decision,
and support It's nomination and work
for its success. Conservative and Libe-
raj as he was and is, he embarks his 20
litical aspirations and renders his al
legiance to the Democratic -Conserva-
tive party which will be represented at

The Republican nominee for the Vice
Presidency Is we'll, IL not favorably,
known in Louisiana In connection with
the Wheeler adjustment. We have now
no quarrel with those of our fellow-citi-
sens who, driven literally to despair,
accepted that adjustment 10 the hope Of
obtaining some relief for their unfortu-
nate State. Mr.. Wheeler, however, and
the other Republican members Of his
committee who had been among US and
through searching investigation, sat
isf1ed themselves Of the, fact that the
Radical party had been beaten In the
election, and, who, instead OF using
their influence to obtain justice
for us, forced us to accept
Legislature constituted through
means unknown to the laws Of this or
any other free country, gathered, It
seems to US, little else than an unenvi-
able notoriety In the transaction. Mr..
wheeler was perfectly satisfied Of the
faet that the Democrats and Conserva-
tiveo had carried the State In 1874, but
he had not the courage and manliness
to-6onounce the Ubiquitous means by
which his party obtained possession Of
the Legislature, and he forced US to
choose between submission to the De
Trobriand- Hahn fraud, or the accept
ance Of . Legislature preferable. by far,
In its personnel, but not less violative
n its organization Of sound constitu-
tional principles than the other. This
fact is creditable neither to the states
manship, honor nor patriotism Of Mr..
Wheeler, and It seems to US such a man
10 little likely to reflect credit upon the
second Office in the Republic.
Our enemies may fancy that the can
didacy OF Wheeler may in some way
revive the dissensions which the COM
promise caused In the ranks Of the Lou
isiana Democracy. But they are mis-
taken. The compromise belongs to the
history OF 1875, not to the politics OF
1876. That question was settled in the
January convention and will not be
again revived to disturb the vigorous
and harmonious movement Of the Dem
ocratic Conservative organization, bent
now only upon the redemption OF Lou
Ysiana.

motive of the Legislature. That body
was made to believe, or rather acted
upon the supposition, that Ludeling
and associates had become the o,cners of
the railroad at certain sale OF 1t made
by the sheriff. The preamble to the
act contains the statement. Upon that
supposAion the Legislature transferred
to Ludeling and his co co-purchasers, so far
as It could transfer them, all the rights
and powers which the sold-out company
had. under its charter, possessed and ex-
ercised. This sale having been annulled,
and the possession Of the property hav-
ing been restored to the old company, it
would seem that a grant OF the public
money, made solely for the purpose OF
promoting public interests and con-
venience, should go with the possession
and ownership Of the property. The
North Louisiana and Texas Railroad
Company would not have been incorpo-
rated but for the sale made in 1866. That
company is now in moribund condi-
tion. If not entirely defunct. 1t has no
property nor anything to show for the
$6 .OOO. 900 of stock which its corporators
fondly imagined they possessed. It
NAV owe debts, but it has no railroad
and is without assets, with the exception
OF the sum to be allowed to Ludeling
and associates for the improvements
they made upon the railroad. 1t has
not even been wound up under the pro-
visions Of its charter as working cor
poration. 1t simply disappears. Like
