FAST FREIGHT.

It is proposed to so concentrate the
business Of the fast freight lines that but
one general superintendent shall be en-
ployed.at each main line Of railroad, who
Shall attend to the business Of all freight
lines running over that road. The same
course will be adopted with regardto re-
ceivers Of freight. All the work will be
done at each OF the main lines through
one superintendent's Office. The force Of
clerks will also be diminished, although
It will still be necessary TO keep the ac-
counts Of each line separate.

THE PRESS SPEAKS OUT.

Some of the leading dailies express their
surprise very freely in regard to the ver-
dict i'll the Prestidge case. The Bulletin
is of opinion that when an armed man
shoots an unarmed man it constitutes an
offense of one or two classes, murder or
manslaughter, and expresses itself as fol-
lows:
The jury's verdict is simply astounding.
II has done more to shake the faith of tie
people in the administration of the la,cs
against crime than anything that has &C.
Cured IN Ne'o Orleans for many gears.
We bad somehow or other come clearly
to the opinion that no man of wealth or
social position in this community could
be convicted in the local courts of cap
ital offense. Perhaps this impression may
have arisen from the fact that no such
conviction has ever occurred within the
range of our acquaintance with such mat

by Congress.
If ratified. the effect of tt is treaty will be-
l. To stimulate production in the Hawaiian
Islands and paralyze production in this State.
1t will act as the entering wedge toadmit

B. 1t will encourage the development of slave
labor in Cuba, and put bonus upon it's products,
and at the same time destroy the demand for FREQ
labor in this State.

to insure cordial response to this call.

MURDER WILL OUT.

If it were in the power of those who
wish to intimidate the Republicans in the
South to suppress the freedom of speech
and of print, the facts which they desire
to conceal would still be made known
throughout the Union. Perhaps the
leaden silence which would overspread
the South would excite public suspicion
more than the voice OF remonstrance. 1t
is always more relief if a child has
fallen to hear it cry than if the fall be fol-
lowed by silence.
But the local tyranny, which fears alike
discussion and disclosure, could not effect
their purpose did they assassinate every
white Republican, intimidate every col
ored Republican and cast into the rivers
and bayous every type which has ever
dared disobey the White League COM
mands. We have repeatedly assigned to
the discovery Of the electric telegraph the
exposure and destruction of the Demo-
cratic party. Tue mail and travel inter-
venes. The immense number Of degen-
crate Southerners who go to purchase for
the White Leaguers shoes, hats and small
clothing, guns, powder and percussion
caps, all these agencies Of communication,
carry to the world the facts; nor can we
see how in the present enlightenment of
the world, the process of assassination
and intimidation could be carried into
effect
We can not brt note the difference in
the conduct Of the Northern and Southern
Democracy in tie representation Of their
political views. The Northern Democrat
is respectful toward the Republican
officials. He does not reproach every Re-
publican as villain. He does not char
acterize every Republican newspaper as
vehicle of untruth. The Democracy of
the South does exactly the contrary. Why
does the Northern Republican pursue a
course SO respectful +? Among others,
sufficient reasons may be stated that the
Republicans are able to repel such assaults,
and that threats of assassination excite
but contempt. Why does the Democracy
of the South defame, bully and assault |
the Republicans? II. finds the great mass
of the Republicans a timid and unarmed |
people, to whom right has been &C.
corded upon the supposition that they
would be permitted by.a brave and gener-
GUS people to exercise the right.
The extreme difficulty in keeping the
Coushatta tactics from the world has been
shown by the recent publication in the
New York Herald. That paper is neutral
in politics. 1t can afford to be independ-
snt because of its enormous patronage.
It therefore assails or defends the Presi.
lent, criticises or commends the parties

Here is the evidence that such Demo.
Gratis IS Banks, Goode, s. S. Cox and
Fernando Wood voted to admit suga,
duty free. We only ask for justice to the
motives and services Of the Republicans
here and elsewhere The Republicans
have enacted and preserved these pro-
tective duties. It is only since their loss
OF representative power that the Demo
CT attic Representatives of Louisiana have
not been able to preserve these interests
against the aggressions of their own free
trade Democratic associates. It would
seem unreasonable, therefore, to condemn
the friends of protection at home and ap.
plaud the opponents Of protection abroad.
In due time the candidates for the
Presidency will no doubt be required to
state their positions upon this subject,
and then the planters and laborers of
Louisiana will be called on to decide
whether they will vote for Democratic
free trader, who opposes all protection, or
Republican protectionist on the prin-
ciple of Mr.. Clsy's American system,
which included the weak interests and the
strong in one common protective league,
offensive and defensive.
Our readers will then see that the pro-
lection of sugar and rice can rely alone
on the comparatively feeble vote of the
two or three States in which these staples
are produced. We have already stated
the small proportion which our own pro-
duction bears to the national consump-
ton. The majority, then, of those who
consume sugar are naturally in favor of
free sugar as for free coffee. If they are
Democratic, they are proclaimed free
traders, and the interest of the consumer
comedies with the principles of the poll
tician. If, however, the Representative
be Republican, he is, we may assume,
Henry Clay and Seward protectionist,
and SO, while the free trade Democrat
must violate his principles to give him
self free sugar, the protection Repub-
lican must, on the Clay principle, tax his
own sugar to maintain general system of
protection.
We are inclined to think that the sugar
interest is not SO strong in Congress as we
might wish, and that the partisan policy
of demanding Republican votes at the
North on the principle of general protsc-
ton, and desouncing Republicans at the
South as being opposed to sugar and rice
protection, Is it is not q very generous, SO
it may not prove very judicious policy.
For ourselves we shall continue to labor
for protection, irrespective of the appeals
which may be made for Republican aid,
or the ingratitude of denying any &C.
acknowledgement of services which have on
some occasions been found indispensable
to the success of measures important to
