WAY COMPANY

Have removed their office to the commodious
ground floor Of tho building No. 159 Common
street. formerly occupied by the New Orleans
Gaslight Company
In making this announcement they desire to
express their thanks to those Of their fellow
citizens who have thus far extended their aid
to this great enterprise while again appealing
to the entire community to promptly come for
ward and subscribe in accordance with their
means. In order to enable the directory to push
with renewed vgor the work already so far &c
eompisbed to completion
Every facility will BIO given. on application Mt
the Office. to impart tho information required to
convince every ono that the success of the road
Is assured rs soon us the sum Of 1876 900 Ia
reached. either in subscriptions to the first
mortgage bonds or to the stock Of the company.
In order to place their securities within reach
Of oil classes of our people. the company have
issued scrip limited in amount to $4,000. and
made receivable either for stock when presented
in sums of $780, or for freight or passage on
completion of the road. This scrip Is divided
into notes Of $50 $40 SO and 81, transferable by
bearer. thus enabling all to aid this immeasur-
ably important work. the success of which will
largely rebound to the interests of every man,
woman and child in this city.
With regard to the first mortgage bonds, no
one can doubt their being d first class invest
ment, apart from the collateral advantages
which will be derived by the residents of this
city and that they will be so regarded by our
moneyed institutions the company refer to a
recommendation made short time since by
the presidents Of nearly all our banks and in
surance companies Of the second mortgage
per cent bonds Of the company when such an
issue was contemplated.
To show the confidence felt by these institu-
lions In the proposed road. their officers recon-
mend the second mortgage bonds Of the New
Orleans Pacific Railway Company MS first
class per cent per annum interest paying
investment" and say they will be received by
with rs much readiness rs any other per
cent security of the State Of louisiana they un-
hesitatingly commend these bonds for invest
ment."
With this inducement supplemented by the
assurances that the company can obtain all else
necessary to place the entire road in working
order when this seemingly small sum shall
have been provided for. and further. that in
stead of second mortgage. first mortgage per
cent bonds are substituted. can any citizen, who
really desires the prosperity Of this city, which
has been so long retarded by the simple want Of
proper communication with the almost mex
haustible resources Of Texas, Arkansas and
Northern Louisiana fail to respond promptly to
this appeal? "

Below we give the verdict of the coronet's
Jury In the matter Of the Hale piano factory
fire:
1--WE find that Otto Pesseneclser and others
came to their death by reason of the burning
of Hales piano factory, in New York, on the
3D. day Of September 1877. We feel 1t to be
our duty to censure the owner Of the pre-
misses, j. ?. Hale, on account of his neglect
to provide adequate means for extnguishing
fire, and would recommend that the proper
authorities compel the owners of such build
ings to provide tanks filled with water, placed
Mt the top Of the building with standing pipes
from the same, with hose attached on each
iloor. and that all drying rooms ought to be
built strictly tire-proof; and further, that
commissioners of public works should cause
10 be provided larger mains in parts of the
city where such pipes as are In Thirty-fifth
street are In use.'
This verdict seems to have worked up the
aldermen of the city, and resolution was
presented for their consideration, looking to
the taking of such action as will prevent the
recurrence of such horrors.

THE PUBLHO ROADS.

There is proposition before the
General Assembly Of Tennessee to
| levy a tax upon the polls and prop
erty of the State for the purpose OF
keeping up the public roads. That
some legislation is required in this
direction no intelligent citizen will
deny. Our roads are in an exc
cradle cOndition-almost impossible
with a wheeled vehicle. The coun-
try cannot prosper until our high
ways are put in good repair and kept
so. But what particular plan is best
to adopt to attain the end devised, is
not for US to say. Taxation is bear
ing down upon our people now with
crushing weight. They cannot and
will not endure any more. But it
may be, and we hope it will be, that
our wise legislators may devise some
scheme, or fall upon some plan by
which the present burdens may be
lightened, and then the people will
willingly tax themselves for the pur-
pose OF making good roads.
The present system is not just.
1t bears down heayiestaupon those
who have the least interest in the
roads, and who have no teams or
horses to travel over them. A man
who has no use for road, will not,
as a matter of course, do a good
days work when summoned by the
overseer to come out and repair it.
He may 60, in obedience to the sum-
mons, and remain outethe legal num-
Der OF hours, but his days work
to just nothing at all. One
hired hand receiving good wages, will
do more work than five such detailed
hands, and do it much better. So,
as soon as the farmers and business
men of the country are able to do
SO, we ILlLh IL WOutNt VIC uCSANACdlJ W
heir interest to raise sum of mon
~ by taxation sufficient to keep in
good repair all the public roads.
Those who are watching the ''signs |
If the times" tell us that a season
If great prosperity for our country |
s approaching; that it is indeed
,ery near. We hope these foretel-
ers OF good luck are not mistaken.
When that prosperous sea>on does
ONE. newspapermen and legisla-
ors can talk to the people about
axation for road purposes without
ear Of offending them. But ut
resent we would not advise
be Legislature to levy a direct tax 4
pr this purpose. Two years hence
ur people may be in a far better
ondition. At any rate we hope
ney will. :

Important ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

We, the undersigned, would respect

carefully Weighing the opinions and ae7
tions of the best business men in the
country, coupled with our own observa-
tion and experience, we have reluctant
ly yet cheerfulIy determined to do away
with the whole credit system, and sell as
we buy-for cash. We DO this reluct-
antly, knowing thatit will cause consid-
cradle Inconvenience and trouble at first,
and yet cheerfully, because we shall be
enabled to put our goods down to a
point that it was impossible for rs to
reach aoben selling onlong, or even short,
credit. We shall at all times keep a
market open for every class of saleable
produce, for which we shall PAY CASH.
We are satisfied that this course will
result in good to ourselves and our pat
rons 1t is apparent to any one who viii
consider the matter that it is impossible
to buy goods for cash, taking the extra
expense of books and collections, the
misunderstanding and mistakes attend
ing long running accounts, anu sell to as
good advantage as for cash in hand.

ing, and a reasonable aBpreciationef our
desire to serve the public, lis NIL that we

In consideration of these facts, notice
is hereby given that on and after the fst
day Of March, 1877, we shalle sell for
CASH! IL All parties owing US, or the

accounts we assume, viii please make
arrangements to close their accounts,
and viii say that in payment for same
the highest market price will be allowed
for any kind of saleable produce.
