PASSENGER DEPOT WANTED.

The jackson Railroad Wish to Land
Their Passengers at Canal street.
We understand thst the New Orleans and
Jackson railroad propose to ask the city to facil
itate them in landing their passengers at or as near
Canal street as possible. Several points are sug-
gested, but the railroad company manifest pre-
ference for neutral ground on Claiborne street,
between Canal and Gasguet. This preference is
based on the greater prac liability of the route
from the old depot on Calliope street through
Claiborne street, ii being the widest street in the
city. The establishment Of such depot would
necessitate the construction Of an iron
bridge across the new canal at Clai-
borne street and possibly the removal Of
the Claiborne Market, which the company would
propose to do at their own expense, to grounds to
be obtained also at their expense. The depot
would occupy the entire portion Of the neutral
ground between the streets named and wonld
be q structure costing about 100000.
One Of the gentlemen connected with the Mis-
to give $4,000 towards it's erection. Another
trail ground on Basin street, between Canal and
Common, as being more central and which could
be reached by way Of Common street. One Of
the arguments in favor of this point is, that it
would force the removal Of the houses OF prosti-
tuition on both Basin and Common str cts by the
encroachments OF the trades consequent upon
the establishment Of the depot at that point.
It is well understood, however, that the city
can neither donate or sell the grounds referred
to to the company, but the occupation would be
secured by lease for q term OF years, not speei-
fed, at rental to be agreed upon by both par
ties.

Politically, Russia has always been
the friend and ally OF every nation op-
posed to the Turks. She has been in
sympathy with the rebels in every revo-
Iutionary or insurrectionary movement
In Turkey, because the insurrectionists
were Christians Of the Greek Church.
She early conquered Moldavia and Wal
lachia, and compelled Turkey to grant
concessions to the Christians of other
northern provinces. The war Of 1882
grew out of her interference in behalf
of the Greeks in their struggle for lib
erty few years before. She undertook
this war, however. under pledges to
Great Britain and France that 1t should
not be a war Of conquest.
If Russia absorbs Turkish territory,
gaining absolute control of the Black
Sea and valuable ports on the Mediter-
ranean, the commercial interests Of the
Western nations would suffer, and on
this ground the Turk was better than
the Russian. Russia made peace when
she had virtually conquered Turkey,
and this was ''in the interests of Rus
sia." Russia was content with treaty
stipulations looking to the protection Of
the Christians.

the Crimean war in 1853 was a quarrel
between the Greek and Lati, Churches

WASHINGTON. April 29.-Last night
Kellogg. Pitkin and Anderson in
formed the agent Of tho Associated
Press that the President had agreed to
appoint John E. King Collector OF the
Port Of New Orleans. This report has
this much Of foundation; John Sher-
man has agreed to exhaust his in
tluence to secure the appoint
ment of King, whom the carpet
baggers agreed to accept as compro.
mise, when they found it impossible te
secure the appointment of Anderson OF
Packard. It is not impossible thai
King may be appointed, but the state
ment Of Kellogg and Pitkin that his
appointment had already been deter
mined on, raises question Of veracity
between them and the President, which
to say the least. ought not to seriously
affect the Presidents reputation.
