CURED to US In examining the act Of mortgage
and the reported objections of the Governor.
Indeed, we do not know that the Governor
has seriously objected to the clause re-
ferred to, or that his objections are fixed.
He Is an able lawyer and conscientious
official, and IL he has refused to accept the
mortgage on the alleged grounds, we assume
there are reasons or law for his course we
have not OWNED or understood.
Be that as it may, Col. Wheeiock will push
ON, without Interruption, the great enterprise
which he has been prosecuting with heroic
energy and determination, against innumer.
able obstacles and discouragements for the
past three or four years. Should the signing
of the bonds be deferred there will be some
delay in ironing some thirty or forty miles of
the road below Alexandria and placing on it
construction train. All the arrangements
were perfected to Immediately do this. But
1t will be delayed few weeks should the
Governors objection to accepting the mort
gage in its present shape prove insurmount-
able. However, we repeat the friends of the
road and the city need feel no encouragement.
The work is going straight on without inter-
rllDtiOD.

Nothing deferred by the failure of the
Stewart hotel for women, under the manage
ment of Judge Hilton, Mrs. Fletcher Harper
has embarked in similar enterprise, which
stands better chance of success by reason of
the kindly and hearty sincerity with which 1t
is undertaken. She has started women's
hotel, for summer only, where working
women may enjoy short vacation from the
"smoke and toll and noise OF the city," as
Cicero says, and find health and renewed
strength by the seashore and in the fresh, cool
air. Mrs. Harper has built at Atlanticville
near Long Branch, an establishment which
she calls "Sea Shore Cottage" that will afford
accommodations for fifty women. In order
to give as many as possible chance to enjoy
It's comforts, no one Is permitted to stay
longer than two weeks. The charge for two
weeks, including railroad fares going and
coming, is SO. It is estimated that this
charge will barely cover the actual cost of
living, not including the railroad fares. OF
course, then, it is not contemplated that the
experiment shall pay expenses, nor Is 1t prob
able that Mrs. Stewart had any such idea
in regard to the Womans Hotel. Judge Hill
ton, however, thought it should pay hand
some dividend at once, and that seems to be
his idea Of practical charity. It is to be
hoped that Mrs. Harpers scheme will not be
abandoned on such short trial, nor do we
believe it will be. Her heart is in her work,
no doubt, and when good woman's heart is
In anything, even In the life and fate of a
worthless husband, she never knows when to

one of them will have his OWE individual

The great jackson route is the shortest,
quickest and best Northern line to New York
and the Eastern cities. During the heat Of
summer the greatest comfort In travelling is
found on the route by Chicago or Louisville
and along the shores of the great lakes, or
through the grand scenery of the Allegheny
mountains. TO pass through these regions
there is no route SO direct, quick or so good
as the jackson, with it's through cars, steel
track and short line enabling it's trains to
leave New Orleans one hour later than any
other and make the same time.
Excursion tickets are now on sale by this
route, good till October 81, to all the attrac-
tive and famous summer resorts of the North
west, best known among which are Wauke-
sha, with its celebrated springs; Oconomowoc,
the centre of the delightful lake district of Wis
consin; Green Lake, Grand Haven, st. Paul.
Niagara Falls, Montreal, Quebec etc. The
rates are as low or lower than to watering
places in other parts of the country, and liv-
ing both at hotels and boarding houses cheap
and of the best kind, the couatry around be-
ing highly cultivated and furnishing every
thing desirable for the table.
All are invited to call at the ticket office, 20
Camp street, under City Hotel, where guide
books, descriptions, routes, rates, etc, will be
furnished, and the fullest information given.

The Burdell house was sold in New York on
Tuesday last Just twenty-one years ago this
house was the scene of one of the darkest
and most mysterious tragedies that ever
happened in that city. The horrible oircum-
stances attending the murder of DR.. Burdell,
rs well as the high social position Of the VIC
tim and the person accused Of the crime,
made it the sensation of the day. On the
thirty-first Of January, 1857, DR.. Burdell was
found dead in his library, his body pierced
with wounds evidently inflicted with a
knife or dagger. Mrs. Augusta Cunningham
and her two grown daughters were suspected
and arrested for the crime, and their long
trial, resulting in their acquittal, was the
exciting event OF the year.
With the acquittal of these ladies the legal
prosecutions ended, and the murder still re-
mains one Of the mysteries of crime in New
York. Shortly after the death Of DR.. Burdell
the house-No. 81 Bond street-was purchased
by Mr.. Hope, who has continuously occupied
1t as residence ever since, using the apart
ment in which the murder occurred as his
sleeping room. The house is sold to satisfy a
mortgage,

A CARD,
no the Citizens Of New Orleans.

In view of the late attempt OF the Louisiana
State Lottery Company to override the laws of
the country and the liberties Of the people. and
especially on account of its bitter persecution
of myself; and being conscious that the failure
Of the said company. in its desperate endeavors
to crush me and those of my compeers whose
interests are identical with mine is attributable
to the fncorruptibility of the court In which I
sought relief and to the fearless championship
of the New Orleans DEMOCRAT. whose unyield-
ing and unfaltering voice aroused the people
to true sense of the encroachments of the
gigantic monopoly, I, therefore. feel it incum-
bent upon me to express to the community at
large my grateful acknowledgements and deep
appreciation of the spirit manifested by my
fellow citizens of all classes upon the occasion
of my resistance to the aegressions of the said
Lottery Company. It Is unnecessary for me to
express my veneration for the Judge of the
Fourth District Court for his action in my case.
To be steadfast to truth and honor, to uphold
the integrity of the laws, and to vindicate the
rights of the citizen, needless Of self-interest
or popular clamor, are qualities that sanctify
the judicial ermine, and place the wearer above
the eloquence of praise or thanks.
In my humble capacity as an adopted citizen
of this commonwealth, and knowing that the
indignation aroused against this monopolied
Juggernaut aWoke from no individual interest
entertained for me personally, but for me as an
exemrlar in the struggle for a freeman's
rights, feel it my duty to express to the com.
munity at large my earnest and profound SEN
timents of gratitude. reverence and pride for
the significant disposition in my behalf as a
representative freeman displayed on the occa-
sion Of my late arbitrary incarceration.
/ am yet more proud and grateful that this
land of my adoption and In which expect to
live and die, has, in protecting me. exhibited to
my countrymen. here and abroad, that the
American people are sincere in their welcome
of the oppressed of all nations who seek refuge
beneath the egis of their government. and that
their democratic institutions are something
more than an idle boast their laws bulwark
against tyranny and wrong, and the mandates
of their most honored Judges not gossamer ex-
halations but the voices of reason and COM
maud which the American people will not per-
NIT to be eyaded or disobeyed.

The parish convention OF Ouachita met yes
terday In Trenton, adopted resolutions cor
daily indorsing Gov. Nichols, disappearing
any movement designed to curtail his term
OF Office; pronounclng against constitutional
convention, and authorizing the chairman, S.
d. McEnery. Esq, to appoint delegates to the
Democratic State Convention.
The resolutions, so far as they relate to the
Governor and his term of Office, will meet
with general Endorsement throughout the
State. As we have said before, there is no de-
sire on the part Of the convention Democrats
ocurtail the Governors term. Should con-
vention be held we believe that it will pur-
sue the same course as the Georgia
convention and adopt an ordinance continu-
ing the Governor in office until the end of the
term for which he was elected.
The resolution against a constitutional
conventien will, we think, meet with very
little appreciation. On the face of the papers
