TO THE SUMMER TOURIST.

Those Of our ctizens who are fortunate enough
TO be able to seek respite from tho labors OF the
business season just closed, and to recuperate
their energies at some Of the many delightful
summer resorts to be found in the Northern
States and Canada, will be glad to learn that the
old fsvorite Jackson route, under vigorous and
efficient management. has become ono Of the
very best travelling thoroughfares in the country.
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars have been
expended, as we are eredibly informed, during
the past twelve months for new iron and steel
rails, new oross-ties and new bridges, and TO- day
1t may be safely said that no road south Of the
Ohio river surpasses the great jackson route in
smoothness and perfect safety. We have had
occasion, during The past few weeks, TO travel
quite extensively over that road, and we can thus
from actual experience. bear witness to it's OK
cellence in every particular which goes to consti-
tute good road.

BERNAU AND THE BACKBONE.

Mr.. Augustus Bernau appeared be-
fore.the Property Holders Union night
before last In an attempt to correct GER
tain alleged errors and mistate ments,
derived from report Of the Legislature
OF 1776, which were embodied in inter-
rogatories propounded to Mr.. Flanna-
gan relative to the reality of the Back
bone Railroad Company and the verify
Of Its pretensions and statements.
Mr.. Bernau makes very poor show
ing Of contradicting the testimony
gathered by the committee Of the Legis-
lature. What he fails to accomplish
by any admissible evidence, he seeks to
exc out by his own unsupported asser-
ton. What weight should be given to
Mr.. Bernau's assertions may be justly
estimated from the following autobio-
graphical deposition given by him be-
fore the committee Of the Legislature in
1876
Mr.. Augustus Bernau, sworn, said the Back
bone Railroad Company has domicile in the
CITY of New Orleans. Their Office is in the New
Orleans Elevator and Warehouse Company. The
sign OF the company ls outelue Oh the DuudlDS.
They have an agent in the State OF Louisiana.
Mr.. Highly is the agent of the company, and am
an ex-cfficio agent, being one of the owners Of
the road. Service Of petition and citation can be
made lawfully on Mr.. Highly and myself Mr..
Highly is the authorized agent TO bring suit for
the company in the State of Louisiana.
Without inquiring into the authority
Of an agent Of domiciled company"
or into the process by which an owner
Of one share becomes er-ottcio agent OF
the company, we content ourselves with
quoting against Mr.. Bernau's state
ment the deposition of Mr.. Highly,
who says that his authority does not
go so far as to sue for the company or
bring suit for and in the name of the
company"
It is true Mr.. Highly thinks the COM

OF bringing suit for the cor .,papy.
But Mr.. Bernau, the r.sr.oetcio repre-
sentative Of the comp. any, proceeds fur
Their to explain his heroic service In be-
half Of that institution. After stating
that Mr.. Highly had advanced eleven
hundred dollars to secure signatures to
q petition addressed to the Governor Of
Louisiana, to prevent his signing the
louisiana central Railroad bin which, he
charges, was passed by fraudulent means
and fraudulently promulgated, he says
he would have done whatever he could
do to prevent the passage of the bill by
the Legislature. What, however, he
did do, and his hole interest In the
said corporation, Ia thus related by him !:

against them, by services rendered and by

Brother Bernau says, to procure sigma

posing the fragrant and audacious mis-
statement which Bernau sought to
impose upon our too susceptible, but

Property Holders Union, when we have
ct hand the testimony of Major John
H. New, who represented, as attorney,

The case OF J. Mathers, Jr., VS.. the
Board OF Liquidation is fixed for trial
to. day In the Fifth District Court, and.
for reasons which we shall presently
state. we venture to express the hope
that 1t will be promptly disposed OF, 80
that the transcript of the record may
reach the Supreme Court before the be-
ginning OF Its approaching term at
Monroe. This proceeding, 80 far as the
funding Of the bonds the conversion Of
which is asked by the plaintiff Is con-
cerned, is u mere formality. Mr..
Speaker Bush, In his communication to
the DEMOCRAT, which we printed on the
18th inst, said, In reference to these
bonds, that he had not the remotest
doubt that the Supreme Court would
direct that they be. funded, nor has any
one else any doubt on this point but
what we wish to impress upon the hon.
orable Attorney General Is the vast i'm
portance OF q speedy determination OF
the matter.
The great need of Louisiana during
the coming summer months Ia an
abundance Of money for the rapid and
cheap moving Of the splendid crops
which we have every reason to antici-
pate. That abundance we, unfortu-
nately. do not possess. Every banker
Ia this city has begun to notify his GUS
toners Of an impending scarcity of
money and there Is scarcely one of
them who will not testify that this
scarcity will be mainly due to the fact
that Northern and European holders of
Louisiana bonds have recently thrown
them upon this market and removed
the proceeds from the State. The prac-
teal effect which a scarcity Of money
will have upon our trade and Industries
every business man knows. 1t will be
seen in high rates Of interest and the
difficulty which even perfectly solvent
men will find in obtaining pecuniary
accommodations necessary for the sue
cessful conduct of their business.
Now, what possible remedy Is there
for such state Of affairs? None that
we can see except the influx Of Northern
and European capital seeking invest
ment In Louisiana consols and we know
that there is large amount Of such
capital ready and eager to take that
direction so soon as our Supreme Court
will have finally determined the ques-
ton presented in the case referred to-
What the decision of the courts will be
has been forshadowed by Speaker Bush
and is perfectly we'll known here, but
foreign capitalists, like all others, are
full Of caution and distrust and will not
come to our relief until every shadow Of
apprehension In regard to the intentions
Of the State toward its creditors is re-
moved. Prompt action upon the case
in question will, we are certain, tend
greatly to effect such result and re-
lieve the stringency Of our money mar
ket, and this fact must be our excuse
for commenting upon case pending in
a court Of justice. If the interests in
volved in it concerned individuals only
we should not have said a word on the
subject, but we are so thoroughly con-
WINGED Of the great Importance Of
speedy determination Of this matter,
that we feel that we perform public
duty by calling to it the particular at
tention Of the officials charged with the
conduct of the case.

N. o. PACIFIC RAILWAY.

All great works require continued
power to keep them in motion. The
great Corliss engine will stand notion
less without the power Of steam.
Tho New Orleans Pacific Railway,
now In Its vigorous youth, cannot go
forward without the power Of money.
| The funds heretofore contributed have
been well applied, but its cash resources
are almost exhausted, and it needs pres
ent help.
The people OF New Orleans desire and
intend to have this road, and all they
want Ia confidence that it will be built.
The trouble is, that what Is every
body's business is nobody's, and the
community, while intending to help,
still leave 1t to somebody else.
Now, as one mode OF securing the gen.
eral cooperation OF the public In this
enterprise, the undersigned friends of
the road have now open. for few days,
an office on the ground floor at No. 81
Camp street, where ererv inhabitant of
this city Is earnestly invited to call and
interchange views, and to define what
he will do.
This 10 intended to be the voluntary
action Of the people, independent OF asny
other effort which may be made.
Every facility for imparting informa-
ton will be extended, and the presence
Of as many Of the friends of the road as
possible Is solicited. to aid by their
presence. their counsel and their means.
