THOSE eUARANTBBs.

Many persons wish to vote for the rail-
road subscription, but are apprehensiye
upon several points:
l. that the corporators viii take large
personal interest in the land and bond
grants if made by Congress to the New
Orleans and Texas railroad.
2. That the company has not provided
for the connection and construction Of
the railroad from this city to Alexandria.
We deem it the duty of the city author
tiles, both to the peoplsand the company,
to secure, If possible
/. The control Of the Chattanooga road
and charteB for the New Orleans and
Texas railroad.
2. A contract with the Morgan railroad
which will allow the common use Of the
crossing at New Orleans, and Of the road
as common trunk as far as the location
Of the two roads comedies. This is about
twenty-five miles from the city.
8. Apublished guarantee that whatso-
ever land or bonds may be granted by the
United States shall not be credit mob aierized
by division among the directors and pre-
ferred stockholders, but applied to the
construction of the road. That if this
Federal appropriation should not be i'm
mediately available for construction pur-
poses, any surplus Of such lands or bonds
shall be applied TO indemnify OF reim-
burse the citizens for the amount con
tributed BY them to the construction Of
the road.
The people want railroad, but they
demand that their money shall be applied
practically to that purpose II viii be-
come the interest Of the company TO come
before the Common Council ana give such
guarantees as VIII enable their hisnds 70

Baton Rouge. OF desc there we're slevea
white and thirty-foul colozad. An analysis
Of the offences shows that four-ffths Of
the colored criminals had been convicted
Of offences with The object Of theft or rob
berry. That this-is not an exceptional, -but
a progressive evil, is shown by the fact
that similar disproportion Of white and
colored criminals was shown by another
shipment year ago. We may admit the
superior ability of white offenders to es-
cape conviction, but the truth remains
that poor people, untaught and unpro-
tected-often excluded from employment
because of their color or. their opinions,
must of necessity present an undue pro-
portion of offenders against the law.
Christianity has high responsibility to
meet. Whatever may be said against
slavery, its concomitant connection with
Christianity has lifted the idolator into
the light of the gospel. The religious
statistics of the South show a large num-
Der of colored Christians. OF the 500
churches in Louisiana, 360 were of the
Baptist and Methodist persuasions. These
also numbered more than half the church
accommodations reported by the census
of 1870. Here, then, is a substantial aid
in the great work indicated, because as
half our people are of color, they must
constitute large proportion of this MEM
bership. Will, then, the churches permit
q relapse of these people or their descend
ants into irreligion? We trust not. 1t
encourages every true patriot to see the
closed ranks in the grand division of that
army marching against the common and
dangerous enemies of human happiness
and Republican institutions, We shall
look with interest to see what the reunited
churches will do for colored education,
employment and Characterization. The
peace, possibly the permanence of the
Southern social system, will depend upon
the moral culture, protection, educa-
tion and direction of the colored race.

The Rev. Il. Cumming Macedonia, whose
dogs took several prizes at the recent
show in New York, preached in DIR.
Stephen Tyng's church last Sunday night.
His light colored Derby hat, tweed suit,
and unclerical cigar, gave place to the
black silk gown, and St Paul, not dogs,
became the subject of his talk. The
reverend gentleman goes to Pittsburg this
week, a resident of that city having pur.
chased his celebrated bitch, Magnet.

New Workers were apparently better
posted on the purpose of The Funding
Board than home dealers. Several pro-

levee bonds upon cOnfding New Orleans
brokers and capitalists.

The Funding Board has already found
it desirable to alter and amend the con-
tract with the Fiscal Agent from the shape
in which it was presented originally to
the competitors for the Office. If this is
to be taken as an indication of the power
of the board to modify the instrument as
the wishes or necessities of the parties
thereto may prompt We fail to see wherein
the interests Of coupon collectors are SO
firmly secured as they fondly imagined.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1877-05-23

We have the authority of those learned
in the law for the opinion that the new
fiscal agent win be unable to comply with
its contract without violating section 5000
Of the United States Revised Statutes:
The total liabilities Of any association,
of any person
for money borrowed, including, in the
liabilities of company or firm, the liza
bilities Of the several members thereof
shall at no time exceed one-tenth part Of
the amount of the capital stock of such
association actually paid in. But the
discount of bills Of exchange drawn in
good faith sgainst actually existing val
uess and the discount of commercial or
business paper actually owned by the per
sons negotiating the same, shall not be
considered as money borrowed.
It is a fair subject Of doubt whether
redeeming the coupons on State bonds
and holding them until money comes in
from tax collectors constitutes such loan
Of money 10 one person" as is forbidden
by statute.

helpless party of emigrants into the

that he went quite distance ahead to

The Ashlabula Bridge Murder Trap.

The Ashlabula Bridge Murder Trap.
report Of Ohio Legislative Committee.
First-There were from eighty to
one hundred lives lost by the failure of the
bridge. Second-The bridge went down I'M
der an ordinary load, by reason of defects in
its original construction. Third-The de-
iects in the ORIGINAL construction OF the bridge
could have been discovered at any time after
its erection. by careful inspection, such as the
Importance of the structure demanded, and
thus the sacrifice OF life and property been
prevented. The fact is, the bridge was liable
to go down atany time during the last ten or
eleven years, under load that might at any
time be brought upon it in the ordinary course
ofthe company's business, and it is remarka-
ble that it did not occur sooner. It would be
needless to say that an engineer would be de-
re!ict in his duty who did not provide in his
construction Of a bridge against wind. snow,
ice and the vibration ola rolling load They
are as much to be anticipated and provided
against as the law OF gravity. This re-
port is accompanied by bill specifying how
bridges of different spans shall be construc-
ted.
