The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-04-22

We had the pleasure yesterday OF
meeting on our streets Gen. Dookery, OF
Arkansas. Gen. Dockery informs us
that the people OF all the southwestern
part Of his State feel very deep inter
est In the success Of the New orleans
Pacific Railroad. They arc anxious to
renew their former social and CONNER
cial relations with this city. and were
the road built, would seek this market
a. their trading point. We know that
the same views are entertained by the
people Of Northwest Louisiana and
Eastern Texas. There Is no material
enterprise better calculated to advance
the prosperity Of New Orleans. and 1T is
difficult to see why merchants, property
holders, and other classes having
means, should not so literally subscribe
70 its stock Oh TO make 1t a grand sue
cess. New Orleans alone could well
afford TO build this road

Several weeks ago the DEMOCRAT
opened war on the game o. bunko, ana
for a time checked 1t. Recently 1t has
broken out again, and the plebian ras-
Gals who run 1t were sacrilegious enough
to take ia foreign Count. This last
yillainy has aroused the violent indig-
nation OF some Of our contemporaries.
and they have recently been scalpiny
the bunko knights with q merciless
vim. 1t was all very we'll so long as the
bunkoites only went for rural planters
and greenhorns from the country
generally, but to take in real,
genuine foreign Count was too
bad As for our part, we really
think this latter exploit OF the
bunko men was Il good joke
so good, that we have changed our
opinion Of them, and now think they
ought to be encouraged. Therefore. we
propose that at the next meeting OF the
Police Board they offer a series Of prizes
to the bunko men, rs follows: Any
bunko man who ropes In and robs an
ordinary visitor to the city Of from 300
to S25OO shall receive prize, to
be paid out OF the city treasury,
OF $1,000. Any bunko man who
ropes into his game any pro-
Tossing Christian or preacher and gets
away with him shall receive prize, to
be paid by the city, OF $500.
Any bunko man who ropes in
a foreign count shall be paid q prize,
out OF the city treasury, OF $500.
And any bunko man who
shall succeed in taking In Dom
Pedro, tho Emperor Of Brazil, when he
visits New Orleans, shall receive a prize,
out Of the city treasury, Of $4,000, and
the thanks Of the city shall be publicly
extended him for his services in behalf
Of the honor and glory Of Now Orleans.
The Mayor and City Council should
unite with the Governor OF the State in
a public proclamation. impressing upon
tho Chief Of Police Loan, and his men,
their solemn duty to sustain the reputa-
ton of the city by giving the bunko men
all the aid and countenaDce possible in
their operations; and the police should
be instructed to observe n rigid impair
TALLY toward these bunko men enter
ing for the prize as above proposed.

In the biaekneSs OF his own heart, and
q filthy daub he makes.
He makes an imputation on my in
tegrity, which demands serious con-
sideration, viz THAT, In taking an
oath that owned property subject to
tax, when the value of the real estate
given in only amounted to $500, l had
not counted correctly. / will say In re-
gard to this charge, that II any respect

Will satisfy him Of the perfect accuracy
OF my statement. / will take this occa-
sion to say that / have engaged In this
contest with great reluctance, from
sense Of duty alone. 1t is attended
with vexatious annoyance and much ex-
pense, which / can badly afford. But
with the sincerity and strength OF my
convictions, were to fail in doing what
l honestly deem to be my duty, l
would lose my self-respect, and sink
almost as low as the creature who, I'M
able to answer my arguments, has pre-
sumed to question my motives.
j believe, ] know, and j can prove,
and have proved that the construction
Of this road, by funds extorted from the
city, will not restore its prosperity. And
/ know, and can prove, that excessive
taxation is alone the cause OF our pitlful
condition. Hence, as long us the peo-
pies minds are misled by seeking for
the true cause OF our mpoverishmeDt
in the wrong direction, 50 long will they
live In bondage and in misery. ] have
an interest in good government. and
reduction OF taxation as IL consequence;
but it is not the direct interest measured
by the amount Of tax l pay. My inter
est is in the dffused prosperity Of the
State in which |, in common with the
rest OF my fellow citizens, will partici-
pate.
When I entered on this discussion l
intended to write series OF letters en-
bodying my views, and leave the matter
to the public also intending to take no
notice OF those who opposed me. ! have
in this case broken through my self

Gen. Geo. A. sheridan.s Lecture Tonight.

The Bryan Texas) appeal thus closes
an editorial notice OF Sheridan's lecture
on "Sam Houston and His Times :"
Gen. Sheridan, not a man to the man.
ner born, but stranger in this land Of
strangers, has caught the thought OF the
coming hour, and only with kindred
cause and theme, awakened with his
magic tongue the slumbering echoes of
Southern history and romance. Noted
in his adopted State Of Louisiana for
that eloquence sounding in all her hills
and valleys, in defiance of that despot-
ism which was seeking to fasten its
chains around her limbs, and the first
to break the charm Of tho tyrant's
power, he now comes to this new land
or chivalry, refuge and freedom, to sing
IN syren notes Of gentle feeling the
strange. romance OF its early time, and
to tell the story Of its typical hero in the
majestic numbers of his magnetic elo-
quence.
The style OF Sheridan's oratory, as all
true oratory is, is simply beyond and
above analysis, with power Of thought.
beauty OF sentiment, and action, voice.
look and physique, to match the grand
eur or the one and the flow OF the other.
The man himself knows not the where
fore Of his wonderful Influence.
we are Just going to press. and have
not the time to elaborate the beauties Of
his address in such manner as to proper
ly communicate our impressions. He
Will simply have to be heard to be ap-
preclated, and wherever he goes, a rare
entertainment awaits the audience.
The thousands who have heard Sher-
idan in Louisiana will concur in the
opinion expressed in the above extract.

resolution is known. 1t was put into
my hands by Mr.. Wheelock, with an
urgent request that / would present it
to the Council; | accordingly did so. as
L viewed it as an implied pledge, a writ
ten promise, or a contract between US
in conformity with promises made to
the public-that taxation would never
be invoked tosconstruct this road Under
these circumstances, to the public at
large, it will appear that this writer, in
stead OF convicting me Of inconsist-
ency "a venial affair - exhibits Mr.
Wheelock as faisifer of pledges and
vlolater CT promises; not the purpose, /
presume, for which he was hired.
This writer falsely alleges that /, in
this tax, represent but small
portion Of the association, whereas it is
well known that in the Central Council
but one member has up to this period
expressed his approval Of the tax.
He also accuses me of changing my
views in regard to this road on account
OF the small tax to be paid by me in the
event that it is imposed on the property
Of this people. AS have never changed
my views, Of course this accusation, such
IS it is, falls to the ground. But the
charge is characteristic of the mean,
pitiful soul that makes it. This crea-
'ure,. whoever he is, cannot appreciate
