The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-09-02

Yesterday evening the members OF the
Press and other friends Of the Bee, together
with the proprietors and employees Of that
journal, met at the Office of that paper to
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of its birth.
Toasts were drank to the Press, to the Bee, to
Mr.. Delaup, the founder, who was present,
etc. 1927 to 1877, represents a long period to
the people of Louisiana who have passed
thorough SO much in this period war, rapine
and desolation-i seems centuries indeed.
The journal that has weathered all the storms
Of this half century, that can point back like
the Bee to fifty years Of hard service in behalf
of the people service on which no one has
ever dared cast a suspicion, has reason to be
proud. The Bee has always been the cham
pion Of Louisiana; in the last campaign,
when others deserted it never wavered.
halted or hestated, but battled nobly for the
right. Such has 1t been for Fifty years and
now on its semi-centennial anniversary it
finds itself more popular, stronger and more
prosperous than ever. The whole Press of New
Orleans may feel proud of this, it's oldest
member, and, without exception, wish 1t half
a century more Of the prosperity and honor,
ii has always enjoyed.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-09-02

Thus we drifted on O sea of doubt and
uncertainty until late in December, when the
prospect for local self-government began to
brighten. At that time State Consols were
quoted on the market at 49s4 0501sc; Nichols
warrants 30c and Packard warrants 15c ON
the dolar.--Ne,c Orleans Times financial ar
ticte, Sept. /.
Several Of these particulars strike us as
strange. We had an idea that local self-gov-
erment was inaugurated here with Gov.
Nichols, January 8, 1877. We thought fur
ther, that everybody In Louisiana remem-
bered two dates: September IA, 1874, and
January 0, 1877, the two greatest epochs in
Louisiana history. But the Times, which has
always looked at Louisiana history from a
foreign standpoint alone appears to forget
This, and launches out Nichols and Pack
ard warrants as early as December, 1876
We are afraid this is mistake.
We do not think single member of the
Nichols government was in Office then; the
Legislature did not meet until January /,
1877 Gov. Nichols was not inaugurated
until January 8, 1877, and If any warrants
were on the street in December, 1876, pur-
porting to be Nichols warrants they were
base forgeries, and certainly not worth thirty
cents, not worth even a cent.
OF course little mistakes like this on the
part Of the Times in dates, facts in Louisiana g
history, etc, scarcely deserve notice, and we
would not think OF noticing them had they
appeared in the editorial columns of that
paper; but, occurring as they did in an an
nual financial report, which Is supposed to be
reliable and trustworthy, we thought it
proper to notice this little nervousness" Of

than the railroad they should have every en-
enlargement and aid from the people in doing
SO.
Competition is liberty; monopoly Is DEATH
The people Of New York have never regard
ed the great Erie canal as unworthy OF their
support, because in case 1t should be aban-
doned their great railroads would secure all
the transportation through their State. On
the contrary they have supported both, and
both have proved most judicious and profit
able investments, and have contributed vastly
to the enrichment Of their State and people
IL Is on this principle and policy that the
president Of the Red River Transportation
Company-a company which owns nearly oil
the carriers employed On that river-comes
forward among the first Of the subscribers to
the stock and bond subscription OF the New
Orleans Pacific, and with the same just ana
enlightened views the president OF the New
Orleans Pacific consents with no little sac
rif1ce to afford the aid Of his contractor ana
laborers, to remove present obstacle TO the
navigation Of Red river. Both these gentle
men are looking more to the interests OF our
commerce, to the great necessities oil opening
communications with the most valuable and
productive of all the regions tributary to our
city than TO personal interests.
It is a very narrow mind which can per-
ceive any conflict between the two PROPOSE
tions TO improve the navigation Of Red river
and to push forward the railroad, which will
render our city independent Of all the inter-
ruptions that may arise to the free use Of the
river as a vehicle of transportation. Let both
works be done, and there will be business
enough and profit enough to both from the
vast trade which will be opened when the
great Northwest is furnished with the indis-
pensable facility and means of transporta-
ton of continuous railroad to this city, via
Alexandria,
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-09-02
RED RIVER NAVIGATION AND THE
NEW ORLEANS PACIFIC.

So far from any conflict between the two
propositions of improving the navigation of
Red River and completing the New Orleans
Pacific Railroad, they will and ought to move
In entire harmony
III, by proper application Of the resources
OF the Government and the State, and of the
people, Red River can be made as useful as it
has been In the past, the small sum required
therefor should not be withheld. But that it
Is adequate to supply the demands of our
commerce and to insure q permanent and re-
liable avenue therefor may well be questioned
Hence the need of a railroad which will Sc
cure this permanent means of transportation
without displacing or even injuriously affect
ing the profitable employment of the water
carriage for which the Red river can be made
seryiceable, at least for many years, IL not
in all time to come. Neither mode of
transportation has any reason to oppose or
feel any jealousy of the other. They naturally
no together, and will help each other The
railroad will only supersede the present
enormously expensive and nearly impractical
BILE means of transportation from the interior
to the river, where and when the river is navi-
gable When the vast produce Of this great
and rich region reaches the point on Red
river to which it is navigable, as, for instance,
Alexandria, to which place 1t is easy and
comparatively inexpensive to secure always
a good stage of water communication with
the city, then will arise acompetition between
the railroad and the river carriers, which will
be eminently favorable to the interests Of
commerce. Neither of these carriers has any
