Newsham, rs handsome as it was deserv-
ed, when the entire Bar of West Feliciana
uniting, advised the negro, Dula, not to
resign the Parish Judgeship if, in so do
ing, the appointment of Newsham was
involved.
Numerous and varied have been the
opinions advanced by learned paragraph
lists, in their attempt to fix the time and
origin of Balldozing. We think it origi
mated here, where Newsham, Weber g.
Co., rode through the streets, in 1868, at
the head of large bodies of armed freed
men, insulting and intimidating the peo
pie. And they should remember that
the people have not Forgotten the fact.

Justly chargeab1e as q violation Of good faithf
Nor is the case relieved when We turn to thu
effect Of that legislative trick; it was resorted
to when the nation had an immense debt; thai
debt WAS payable in coin-L e., either In gold or
silver. The silver dollar was worth less than
the gold dollar; therefore, to strike out the
silver dollar from the coin of the country mada
the debt payable only in gold and unrighteously
increased the debt by the difference between tho
silver dollar and the gold dollar. There wa
gross injustice in thus adding to the dent
Of the b1rdcncd taxpayers of the na-
tion. Look at the enormous tncreasc
With difference of 5 pcr cent on d debt Of
50 000, ,0OO, 600 the addition is one hundred mill
ions OF dollars! and this to go iuto the pocket
Of the bondholders, who had no right to expect

possible that these religious editors suppose

pudation OF the fraud is reputation OF any patt

Being satisfied. as am, that its depreciation
is ouly temporary, and caused BY its being de-
ronctized by Germany and the United States,

bill, Or any similar enactment, becoming

after, pay .6 cents per 4l211 grains OF

that ii reliable parties willing to enter into

WEST LAKE STREET,


Chicago. Nov A.-The report from the Co1n

vision. respecting the West Division City Rail-
way, presented Thursday evening last, brings
to the surface i desptcable piece OF business
which has been going on i'll an undetermined "ag
tor some time It is well known that there Is 3
large and rapidly-growing population between
Central Park and Western avenue, which is OF
right entitled to strect-rai1way facilities. Ibis
ponulation extends from krzic street south
ward to Van Buren, and OF course its more lm-
mediatc interests arc divided, some resiuents
being in favor oil extending the line on Madison
street aud caring nothing for Lake street, WHILE
With others the ease IS reversed; ootnc tu1le
ago the Lake street folks procured the passage
q an ordinance requiring the CONSTRUCTION q
rhc railway on that thurouIhfare to central
Park, hut at the same time E'sing thc IT'LL
road Company the option or extending 1he llneon
Madison street Instead. S-nce tnt P:assaSG u
that ordinance the Railroad Company has tasea
advantage Of the rivalry between the fr'eat5 Of
thc two streets to stave off compliance With the
law. while the advocates Of the TWO routes eaEo
laborrd hard for their respective interests:
Recently a proposition has been made TO =?

This proposition has been warmly urged by AdA
Seaton aud Rawleigl,, who thus entirely give
away to tue Railroad Company the Interests o.
the large number Of their constituents o"aln2
property between Madison and Lake streets
Worse than this, Aid. Wheeler, Ut the lhn
teenth Ward, deliberately deserts his constlu-
ents-noue of whom live south OF Lake street
and agrees to the proposition above noted.
