Col. Wheelock, President of the New Orleans
Pacific Railway Company, has received the
following dispatch from Mr.. Henry Shepherd.
well known citizen of New Orleans, dated
from Martinsburg W. Va:
:. The Messrs Brooks. Of Boston, will take ten
Irst mortgage bonds of the New Orleans Pacific
railway. i wrote my agent In New Orleans to-
day upon the subject.
The Messrs Brooks own large properties in
this city. III all who are interested In the
prosperity OF New Orleans were to display
the same intelligent liberality the New Or
leans Pacific would be completed in very
short time and our merchants enabled to con-
troll an immense trade which naturally gray
hates toward us, but from which we are cut
off for the want of railroad.
The action OF the Messrs. Brooks will
are sure inspire others to follow their ex :
pie. II is one of the most cheerful sig ar
the times. ms

ORLEANS DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 49,

tempted to be used by conscience-stricken or
bartering Radicals for righteous purpose,
we cannot see that the Democrats are to be
tainted with It, We only know they con-
demned it then with not less bitterness than
they do now, and have ever and consistently
done.
The truth is that the whole fundamental
law Of this State has been perverted from the
honest purposes of republican government and
the protection of civil liberty, and adapted
as has all the legislation of the Republicans
under it, with devilish ingenuity and ability
that was evinced by them in no other State,
to the purposes of villains and the prosperity
of fraud, peculation and all iniquty. 1t must
all be amended; yes, literally wiped out be-
fore an economical and rigorous government
can be secured. This is the purpose, and the
sole and worthy purpose, of those who urge the
amendment Of our constitution. The only
question is, which Is the best way to go about
it-but one thing is certain, 1t can be accom-
plished only by the adoption of a new consti-
tuition.

The administration is rigidly carrying out
Its theory OF civil service reform. The Ohio
clerks In the several executive departments
have quietly been advised that five days
leave OF absence will be granted them to 20
home and vote in the approaching election.
1t was ascertained that not one in Atty had
any inclination voluntarily, or under the
civil service Reform policy of the administra.
lion. to go and but few Of them appre-
hended that 1t would be required of them.
There are very good grounds for the state
ment. says the Cincinnati Commercial, that
since reaching Ohio the President has written
10 Secretary Sherman that the Ohio clerks
can have time from their official duties to do
their voting, and permission is granted in
such way that each clerk who receives It
understands well that he is expected to 90
or incur the displeasure of the Executive.

THE NEW ORLEANS PACIFIC RAIL.
WAY COMPANY

Have removed their office to the commodious
ground floor of the 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 vigor the work already SO far ac-
complished to completion,
Every facility will be given. on application at
the office, to impart the information required to
convince every one that the success OF the road
Is assured as soon as the sum of $4,000 is
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 all classes of our people, the company have
issued scrip limited in amount to s50,o0o and
made receivable either for stock when presented
in sums of 800. or for freight or passage on
completion of the road. This scrip is divided
into notes Of $50, 500, $40 and S. 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 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
recommendation made short time since by
the presidents of nearly all our banks and in
surance companies of the second mortgage 7
per cent bonds Of the company, when such an
issue was contemplated.
To show the confidence felt by these nstitu-
tons in the proposed road, their officers recon-
mend the second mortgage bonds Of the New
Orleans Pacific Railway Company as first
investment" and say they will be received by
their several institutions as security for loans
with as much readiness as any other 7 per
cent security Of the State of Louisiana: they un-
hesitatingly commend these bonds for invest
ment."
With this nducement 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
| haustibe resources of Texas, Arkansas and
| Northern Louisiana fai! to respond promptly to
| this appeal -
