49, There is no such imprisoned popular
orator in America as Bob Ingersoll. He is
without a peer and even without rival.
There is no one who approaches him. AS
an actor he is even mere effective than as
speaker. His manner is as fervid as his
glowing impassioned sentences uttered as
If inspired at the moment. He said in a
recent speech before Federal soldiers:
The past rises before me like a dream.
Again we are in the great struggle for
national life. We hear the sounds Of prep

esee thousands of assemblages, and hear the
appeals of orators; we see the pale cheeks
of women, and the flushed faces of men
and in those assemblages we see all the
dead whose dust we have covered with
flowers. We lose sight of them no more.
We are with them when they enlist in the
great army of freedom. We see them part
from those they love. Some are walking
for the last time in quiet woody places with
the maidens they adore. We hear the WINS
perings and the sweet vows of eternal love
as they lingennglY part forever. Others
are bending over cradles, kissing babies
that are asleep. Some are receiving the
who hold them and press them to their
hearts again and again, and say nothing /;
ana some are talking with wives, and en-
deavoring with brave words spoken in the
OLD tones to drive from their hearts the
awful lear. We see them part. We see the

sent to Mississippi and other States of the

THE NEW ORLEANS, ST. LOUIS, AND
CHICAGO RAILROAD COMPANY.

Owing to the shrinkage in the commercial
business Of the South, and the damage done
to the road by the crevasse of 1874, the earn
ings of this company during the past year
have been reduced over S1,5OO,OOO. This, Of
course, has caused great embarrassment, but
we are glad to learn that the company have
now good prospect Of extricating the road
from its difficulties As a matter of general
interest we take the following extract from a
circular recently issued, signed by Mr.. R. S.
Charles, Treasurer, and kindly furnished us
by Superintendent Morey:
To keep up with the current interest on the
first and second mortgage bonds of the line,
We were obliged in the early spring of this
year to apply the money to the payment OF
coupons which ought to have been appropri-
ated to the employees on the road. These
payments we were obliged to defer from time
to time until we were fully five months in ar
raars The decentralization among the en-
poyees, which this delay in the payment Of
the rolls created, seriously injured the COM
per cent higher wages for labor than we should
have done if the pay-rolls had been paid
promptly. We have been obliged, therefore,
to appropriate the whole earnings during the
months OF November and December, to the
liquidation OF our back pay rolls, and we now
have the pleasure to announce that this policy
has infused new energy and st-ict attention,
at less pay, on the part Of the employees, to
the interests of the company.
We are under the necessity, from these
causes, to ask the holders of the first mort
gage coupons, on bonds Of the New Orleans,
Jackson and Great Northern Railroad Com
pany, due first proximo, to present their
present schedules of coupons either at the
office in New Orleans, or New York, and they
will receive bank checks on New York or
New Orleans, as preferred in full payment of
these coupons, during the month Of January,
and as rapidly as the earnings Of the road
will warrant. The whole income of the
month will be devoted to the payment Of
these coupons, and by the end of the month
the total amount will be liquidated.
The com pany have paid coupon bonds in
Liverpool, the pay roll for the month Of No
vember, 1875, in full, and will commence to
pay coupon bonds in New Orleans and New
York next week, and will complete the same
during the month Of January.

port them; in part of those living in
or near the city. Those who would
then seek legislative positions for the sake
Of the honor or from sense OF
public duty would constitute majority Of
each House. The sessions would be brief
and the legislation by no means voluminous.
This is a system, however, which we cannot
expect and need not discuss. The American
rule is to pay public men for official work.
and in the long run it Is found wisest to al
low legislators such pay as will meet their
reasonable personal expenses. or such pay as
will enable an economical man without other
resources to live decently. As to what
this is opinions will differ widely, but
those who have experience in legislation
will generally confess that they can not get
along comfortably on a per diem allowance
which does not equal the salaries Of mer-
class. ...
The allowance of five cents per mile for time
and travelling expenses (naileage) is absurd.
It will not pay fare on the freight trains Of
railroads or deck passage on second rate
steamboats,, or feed and shoe the mule on
which member might be obliged to ride.
There is way in which the Legislature
may economic far moro effectually and, as
we believe, more nationally. Time is money,
and especially is this true of legislative time
Let our lawmakers economic time, and if
practicable, condense the work badly done in
sixty days into the better work of fifty or forty
or thirty days. Instead of crowding
all the business into the last week
Of long session, they will save much
time by fixing date after which no
new bills shall be presented. All discussions
upon points Of order are a mere waste of
golden time. The taking Of yeas and nays
in body of a hundred members wastes
many precious minutes on each vote.
The costly time spent in making stump
speeches which produce no effect in or
out Of the capitol might be saved. Where
there is will to economic the way can soon

THE PROPERTY HOLDERS UNION.

A large meeting Of the Central Council of
the Property Holders Union was held last
night at Grunewald Hall.
The following resolution was offered by
Mr.. Armstrong;
RESOLVED, That this council. having watche9
with friendly solicitude the efforts being made
for some time past, and now energeticaliy
pursued, to construct the New Orleans Pacific
Railway without legislative aid and seeing
with unfeigned satisfaction that considerable
progress has been made in grading said road
from Alexandria northward, we do. with one
voice, commend this great home enterprise to
the united, cordial support of all our fellow
members and citizens at large, as an effort to
control Q railroad without the imposition of
an additional tax upon the people.
The resolution was received and referred
to the Executive Committee.
Tie following communication, signed by
about fifty property holders and citizens OF
Algiers, Eas received, approved. and referred
to the Committee on City Charters

make it separate incorporation, or leave us
as we were before the present charter was
adopted, or if you think We can get a new
charter for Algiers, The lines thould be as

From the upper line Of the parish of Or
leans, right bank extending down the
river front to the lower line of the land
owned and occupied by Mr.. Norbert Trepag-
nier, extending back into the swamp until it
connects with the upper line Of the parish.
Our object for said change is that We are
heavily taxed to support the city of New Or
leans proper and pay her old debts. Of which
we never had or received any of the benefits
arising therefrom, and that we can run our
town at much less cost than if attached to the
city, and further, that we were never con-
suited in the matter of annexation in any
form whatever, and it was against the Will
Of large msjority of our citizens when SO
annexed.
