In h.s letter to the DEMoCRAT, pub
lishcd yesterday evening. Capt. Eads
expresses establishment that portion
OF the press and people Of New Orleans
have shown persistent hostility to the
ictties, and SAYS he was lead to believe
that every intelligent man desired deep
water at the mouth OF the river. IF
Capt. Eads classes the DEMOCRAT as hos
tile to his enterprise, he has miscon-
ceiyed the spirit in which we have
written. We believe that every in
teliigel4t man in New Orleans and
in the Mississippi valley, does de-
sire deeI, water at the mouth OF the
river, aud that all will rejoice il the
ietties prove success. But. there are
differences of opinion among scientific
engineers ~ 10 the practicability OF the
enterprise, and there are very remark
able differences in the soundings made
by the different parties. The purpose
Of the DnMoc.AT is not to oppose the
jetty work. nor to become its blind
partisan We desire to give the
fullest information from both sides that
we caa obtain, and are very sure that
the time must come when all reports
will concur aud the success or failure be
no longer an open question. We trust
the scundings which give different re-
suits from those Of Capt. Eads are erro-
neous. but they are made by com
ssaeat men and we have no right to
ignore them We shall continue to
give all reliable information on this
great matter that we can obtain from
both sides; and Captain Eads will
always find the DEMOCRAT at his service
10 communicate with the public, and
ready and eager to do him and his en-
rerprise feil justice and afford such
aid a. Is In its power. And upon the
other hand we shall as promptly give
any facts from the opposite side.

New ORLEANs. Nav 5,

NEW ORLEANS, May B, 1879.
Editor DemOcrdt-You will please say
in your evening edition that the para
graph in the Picdy,u,e, to the effect that
one OF the Louisiana delegation Is in
favor of Hancock for the Presidency,
and that the other delegates are in favor
OF Bayard for first choice. is without au-
thority. There has been no meeting Of
the delegates, and 50 fLr as we are con-
cerned, there has been no expression Of
choice. The delegates have not been
instructed, and whatever may be our in
dividual preferences, we deem it i'm
proper and unwise to attempt to forstall
public opinion, or to commit ourselves
to the support Of any candidate or
aspirant.
In other words, it is our intention, as
we believe it to be our duty, to 60 to the
Convention perfectly free to give our
support to any good and true man who,
in our Judgment, may be most accept
able to the party generally, and most
likely to unite and receive the support
OF the opponents Of Radicalism.

The public spirited managers OF the
Mobile line have done the public o
great benefit In establishing cheap ey-
cursiou train to the watering places on
our coast every Sunday. 1t affords
thousands OF men, women and children
an opportunity, once q week for a very
insignificant sum. TO escape from the
city and enjoy the healthful and bracing
atmosphere Of the country. But there
are great many people who cannot
take advantage OF this arrangement.
There are in the city probably over
twenty thousand people who have reli-
gious objections to going on even an
excursion party on Sundays. Would it
not then be we'll for the line to run an
excursion train also on Saturdays for
the benefit Of this large class of our
citizens and thus win the thanks of the
whole community?

A suggestion.
Washington Gazette.

Washington Gazette.
We would respectfully inquire what
the reform House of Representatives
propose to do with the present corrupt
courts Of this District, who pack juries
in favor of the Shepherd ring, and in
which no member of the ring, be he ever
so guilty, can be convicted. An amend
ment should be added to some bill in
the House, reorganizing the present cor
rupt courts, and placing the appoint
ment Of new set Of judges, marshal,
and chief OF police, with the Speaker OF
the House, the President of the Senate,
and the Chief Justice Of the United
States Supreme Court. The whole thing
must be swept away before justice can
be had against the greatest malefactors
in this District.

The Times is devoting its power
ful intellect to the task of writing
tJi our friends Leonard. Of Caddo
and Stafford. of Rapides, as the
only two sensible and courageous
men Ia the State The other day we
were told that Mr.. Leonard had done
moro for Louisiana than all the Demo
Gratis combined, and that he is more
than match for them all; and this
morning we are coolly informed that
Mr. Stafford was the only Conservative
in the last House to refuse to DO n silly
thing. Both these gentleman are our
personal friends. and we think very
highly of their intelligence and pluck,
but we scarcely think either of them
will thank our neighbor for placing
them In ridiculous attitude.
