management has not yet definitely abandoned the idea

The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-03-31

Some days since we published
special from Washington, stating that
a Louisiana delegation was there using
their efforts to get "a Congressional com
mittee to Investigate the Packard crew
in this State. A Washington special TO
Times yesterday evening indicates that
there will be such u committee. we
hope this may prove true. New orleans,
without doubt, is one OF the richest
mines Of rascality in the United States,
and a tirst-class, incorruptible com
mittee. bent on doing It's whole duty,
can do the cause Of the country and
OF public morality q great good by
reaching the bottom facts OF the New
Orleans Custom House and its rings,
some of them, it is said, embracing In
their magic circles highly conservative
and respectable gentlemen. Let us have
tho investigation by all means, and let
the guilty. be who they may. take care
Of themselves. The atmosphere or the
Custom House is blue with iniqulty and
it ought to be purified.
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-03-31

Hadcalsm has literally gone to pieces
in Mississippi. The Mississippians
made heroic fight and won their
State. When their Legislature assem-
bled and talked about impeachment,
Morton endeavored to intimidate them
by his threats, while fierce dispatches
announcing that armies OF troops were
to be quartered in the State. were sent
from Washington, the New York Her.
all, and other journals OF the same
class, raised the stereotyped howl
that the Southern whites were bent on
revolution; that 80 soon rs they got
In power they began to make war, ana
other such stuff. But the Mississippians
didn't bully worth cent. They told
the New York Herald and the people OF
other States to attend to their own bust
ness. and thinking it time enough to get
scared when the troops came down on
them with fixed bayonets, they went
right ahead, drew up the charges
against the rascals who had the State
government, got full proof OF them, and
impenched Davis and Ames. This did
the business for Mississippi. SO soon as
It was evident that the Mississippians
were in earnest and could only be pre-
vented from doing their duty by being
cleaned out rie Ell armis the bullyism
stopped, and Radicalism went utterly to
pieces. We wish Louisiana could char
ter the Mississippi Legislature for about
q week or ten days.
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-03-31

We desire to call special attention to the ad-
vertisement OF Prof. Tutwiler's School in our
columns to-day. Almost delightful and healthy
location, combined with careful Christian train
Ing and the most thorough scholarship. has for
years commanded the patronage Of the best peo-
pie OF the South During the war we had occa
sion to test the hospitality and patriotism Of
Prof Tutwiler and his noble family. and it will
be long before the memory of our welcome shall
pass away. The social influences. as well as
studious habits Of that household. will draw out
every good impulse and quality Of boydom. and
We cannot too strongly urge parents or guard
ians to patronize school SO admirably man
aged and SO convenient of access from this city.
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-03-31
The Republican party Is making much

The Republican party is making much
over the suspicious transactions OF Mr..
Pendleton, OF Ohio, in the Kentucky
railroad case. We would suggest to the
Republican papers that 50 soon as 1t be-
came generally known that Mr.. Pen
dleton had been concerned, even in n
suspicious business transaction, all
chances that he had of the Democratic
nomination instantly vanished. 1t
should be noted. on the other hand,
that high official after high official in
the Republican party have been detect
cd in stealing, swindling and false
swearing In the discharge OF high pub
lie office. but the disclosures do not
lessen the popularity Of any Of them In
the party. Indeed, it seems that the
bigger thief the Democrats prove Re-
publican official to be, the higher he
stands in the councils OF his party.
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-03-31

The members Of this congregation
have succeeded, by untiring efforts, In
completing the good work, and now
their church sends up it's spires to
heaven in mute prayer to Him who said
that He would always be present when
ever men assembled together In His
name. The dedication, with appropri-
ate ceremonies, will take place on Sun
day next, ut the corner Of Jackson and
Chippewa streets, and we tender thanks
to the Invitation Committee for their
kind attention in remembering us.

Balance claimed by Ludelng and
associates from the bondhold-
ers of the V. :. Il T. X. X. Co.. &lo96.o3l 10
Jour readers will perceive there is
discrepancy in these figures, although
the balance is the same. This discrep
ancy arises from different method OF
statement which we have adopted, but
the result is the same SO far Us the bal
ance claimed by defendants Is con-
cerned.]
But this is not all. Ludeling, Ray
and associates do not place to the
credit OF their account the proceeds
OF the bonds they received from the
State Of Louisiana, under acts 108, Of
1868, and 81, OF 1872 They claim these
bonds ($1, 1872 900 as donation to them
elves individually, and not as u gift
in behalf Of public enterprise. That
is to say, although the repairs and
improvements upon the Vicksburg.
Shreveport and Texas Railroad were
really made Mt the expense OF the State
Of Louisiana, Ludeling, Ray and asso-
ciates demand to be reimbursed there
for by the creditors Of that company.
They demand to be t,cice paid for those
repairs and improvements by the
State, and secondly, by the creditors Of
the company owning the railroad.
Ludeling, Ray and associates have not
expended on this property one dollar OF
their own funds, yet they demand 30 be
repaid and reimbursed by the mortgage
creditors of the company, having the
railroad in pledge to them, their entire
expenditures upon it for every purpose,
including abou; 100000 which they
themselves have pocketed for salaries
and on other pretexts.
We cannot believe that a court Of
equity will give the slightest considera-
ton to a claim 80 baseless and so impu-
dent. We hope there is some law In the
land yet, and that fraudulent possessors
will have meted out to them the punish
ment they deserve.
