AS there have been some rumors that
our old friend, Gen. Loring, has not
added to his reputation as military
chieftain by his conduct of the Egyp.
tian expedition against Abyssinia, we are
gratified to be able to record the testi.
monials, contradictory Of these rumors,
paid to him by the Khediye, who has
decorated him wi h orders Of the high
est merit as commander Of an army In
the field. ,o d % .53 a.= -eaa.
Gen. Loring is veteran soldier OF
our Florida, Mexican and Confederate
wars, and, though not brilliant strate-
gist, was always faithful, brave and
efficient In active service. In the cam
paign in the valley Of Mexico he led the
charge against one OF the gates OF the
city and lost his arm. After the war
be was promoted to the command of
the Mounted Rifles. In our civil war
he was kept in constant active service,
but always subordinated to some supe-
rior commander, who controlled his
movements and prevented any indie
pendent action on his part.
Gen. Loring was West Poin ter of
the same class as Stonewall Jackson.

TO THE PUBLIC.
NEW ORLEANS PACIFIC RAILwA,


The Direction OF the New Orleans Pa
cific Railway Company deem it their
duty to their fellow citizens who have
supported their enterprise hitherto, to
make another appeal to the public In
behalf Of the opening Of railroad COM
munication between New Orleans and
Texas.
It is universally conceded that the
early completion Of this road Is essen
| tial to the commercial existence OF this
city. We have tried voluntary subscrip-
ton and have succeeded up to date in
securing over 100000 with which we
have graded about fifty-flv miles-work
acknowledged by competent judges to
be well worth one-half million dollars.
In view OF the failure to persuade the
people to tax themselves, we must
promptly raise by private subscription q
sum sufficient to carry forward the work
at once, or seriously delay its ultimate
completion. No one familiar with the
immense resources of the country in
Texas and Arkansas to be tapped by this
AoesA Sehu uOuDb buhb ltS Ill
the early future is certainty--the only
open question Is whether 1t shall be con-
trolled by the people OF this city and
State, or by strangers. The solution of
this question turns entirely upon the
liberality which shall be shown by our
own citizens.
Lett be understood that this direction
propose under no circumstances to
abandon the work they have under
taken until the people shall absolutely
abandon them.
We will not allow ourselves to doubt
the success Of this appeal. and there
fore confidently make IL with full
reliance upon the enterprise of our
fellow citizens.
A canvass for new subscriptions will
be Immediately made, also the books of
the company will be open for subscrib-
ers at their office, No. SO Magazine
street, under the st. James Hotel.

THE CITY CHARTER.

We had the pleasure of meeting yesterday one
OF our leading city members of the Legislature.
whom We asked about the truth of the rumors In
circulation regarding the framing of new char.
ter for this city. He WAS unable to say what the
other members Of the committee proposed indi.
yidually to do or whether any plan had been
drawn by any number of them.
The committee had held only two meetings
and would soon meet again, and would consult
with Mayor Pilsbury on the subject. One thing,
however, was determined upoo; that new char
ter for the city would be presented BY the com.
mittee at the next session Of the Legislature.
His own proposition Was about this: There
should be board of executive officers, to con-
sist of the Mayor and q certain number of AID.
ministrators, and board OF legislative officers to
represent geographically sch district. For ex-
ample say three for the FIRST District, two for
the Second and so on, who should be selected
from their respective districts, but TO be voted
for by the votes OF the entire city This upper
board would have a. little to do as possible with
the legislative part Of the city aff,irs.
The information is meagre, we admit, but il
shows, nevertheless, the direction in which the
political wind Is blowing.

ANOTHER POLICE sURJECT.

politan law. This section, among other things,
makes IL miedemeanor punishable by imprison-
ment for term not exceeding two wears, or BY q
fine not exceeding Ave hundred dollars, for any
person to make use OF abusive or threatening
language to any OF the officers or members Of the
police force.
Judge Smith thought that policemen were be-
coming over sensitive In the matter and forgot
that It was part OF their Off sia fate to be abused
just like recorders, and he related to the Mayor
some of his experience with of .uders OF the law.
"Why,' said the Judge, ''if were to take no.
tice OF ell the abuse lin some ceses making the
hair on the side Of my head stand on end } fre.
quen'ly heaped upon me by those people that
am conetrained daily to punish, would never

There is no probability that the law referred to
above will ever be re-enacted; but at all events,
there is general law against offenses OF the
kind named which policemen can invoke, like any
private citizen.
