The late Mrs. General Hooker, then
Miss Grousesbeck of Cincinnati. was
once at an evening party in that city,
when young dandy was asked II he
would like to DO presented to her.
"Oh, yes," said he, languidly, "trot
her out" The lady overheard the ro-
mark, and when he was presented she
adjusted her eyeglasses deliberately
and slowly scanned his clothing from
boot TO collar. The survey finished,
sho waved her hand carelcssly and
said: "Trot him back; see all there
is of him."

Evrn since the api,o,;on Of The alive,

EVER since the agitation OF the silver
question commenced in Congress, it has
been particularly noticeable that the
Associated Press dispatches in refer.
renee to this subject, sent from the
East, have invariably been Of O bear
lug" character, parading the views of
Wall Street alone, never designing to
enlighten the people of this coast as TO
the views OF tho people generally, res
pecting 30 important a matter. The
miserable attempts on the part OF this
so-callcd public Bureau of news to
create tho impression that the success
OF any plan for The remonitizetion of
silver would bling financial ruin. and
that tho vail of New York Snylock's

would appear comical, were it not SO
supremely contemptibie. The fact is
we'll known that a very large majority
OF the people. together with two-thirds
OF the National Legislature have favor
ed the proposition from the first, yet
this fountain OF news dare not offend
Its Wall Street masters by telling the
truth.
The abortive effort to scare Congress
aud the people into reputation of
this most beneficont measure, by do
picting the dismay blanching the cheeks
OF foreign bond-holicrs at the bare
thought Of such contamination, ia

One day last week one of the Asylum

outward. we'll filled with gentlemen and
ladies. The seats being all occupied.
as lady after lady entered they were in
vited to sit by gentlemen, who in sue
cession arose and politely gave their
seats to ladies', until, finely, the only
representative of the sterner sex who
retained seat was portly Chinese
Commissioner. Soon the car stopped
again, and the Oriental, who had been
long expressing by his looks pro-

of tho Americans, felt tho pressure OF
public opinion too strong to resist
longer, and, rising, yielded his seat to

EIGHTH AVENUE. NEAR .a4rn srgEEr.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1878-03-10

What the Pail Mall Gazette ironically calls
incidents Of the holy war of the Nineteenth
Century are wildly described by q CORES
pondent of the Daily Neacs who accompanied
the Russian army from Philppopolis to Her
manli. He saw the bodies of Bulgarian
peasants with terrible wounds In the head and
neck, sometimes mutiated and disfigured ;
women and infants children and old men,
both Turkish and Bulgarian, fallen In the
fields by the roadside, half buried In the snow
or lying in the pools of water. 1t seemed to
have been one long battle between the
peasants OF both races, In which the dead were
counted equally for each; but while many OF
the bodies bore marks of violence and showed
CHASTITY wounds, the great proportion
of the women and children were evidently
frozen to death, for they lay on the snow as If
asleep, with the flush of life still on their
faces. and the pink skin Of their feet and
hands still unblanched. Side by side with
these, many corpses of old men, full of dig
nifty even in death, lay stark by the roadside
their white beard clothed with blood, and their
helpless hands fallen upon their breasts.
From the muddy water of the bitches, tiny
hands and feet stretched out, and baby faces,
half covered with snow, looked out innocent
ly and peacefully, with scarcely a sign of suf-
fering on their features. Frozen at their
mothers breasts, they were thrown down into
the snow to Tighten the burden Of the poor
creatures who were struggling along in mortal
terror.

RAILROAD SUBSIDIES.
Tie Railroads That Have Forfeited Their

It is stated that the Public Lands Commit
tee Of the lower house Of Congress has agreed

cific. Texas Pacific, Atlantic and Pacific, Ore
gon Central. Hastings and Dakota, st. Paul

trail, Pensacola and Georgia, Alabama and
Chattanooga, Coosa and Chattanooga, Mobile
and Girard, Coosa and Tennessee. Alabama

estimated that the bill If passed, will restore
to the public domain about one hundred mil
lions acres Of land The bill hats been drawn
upon the principle laid down by the Supreme
Court In the Iowa case, and provides that all
grants for the construction OF railroad and
telegraph lines, whose conditions have not
been fulfilled or which have not been earned
shall be deemed and are hereby declared to
be lapsed, restored to the public domain, and
opened to settlement forthwith without fur

other than that contained in this bill. The
bill Is SO drawn as to cover all possible land
grants. and will be on the calendar ahead of
any bills extending land grants.

The New Orleans DEMOCRAT is making q
brilliant record for itself. Fighting the mo-
nopolies existing in the State, fearlessly read
ing lessons Of duty to legislators and cham
the noble occupation Of our esteemed city CO
temporary for the past few weeks. In some
quarters the assertion has been made that the
DEMOCRAT represented nothing and nobody
Whence is this astounding Information de-
rived2 If the DEMOCRAT does not repre-
sent, where Is the paper In this state that
does, somebody and something? We know
the DEMOCRAT to be respected everywhere
that 1t is read, and that its utterances are i'm
plicitly accepted as soundElnd patriotic.
tPointe Coupe8 Pelican.l
The New Orleans DEMOCRAT is waging
relentless war upon all rings and monopolies
Particularly does 1t invoke the Legislature to
repeal the charter OF the Lottery Company
1t is said that the lottery charter was Oh
tanned by bribery; that the Legislature was
purchased. It Is also charged that it is very
demoralizing to the servants and to the labor
ing class generally.
We know that charters legitimately OBJ,
tanned and an, honestly carried out are , held
guaranteed In accordance with law, are not
repeaable All this we know; but when
fraud and venality attaches to the charter,
our reading Of equity laws leads us to believe
that the courts or Legislature may abrogate
them. 1t is also questionable whether legis
latures may legislate any public rights.
Chief Justice Martin held the contrary doc
trine, and went 50 far as to declare that even
when actual law came in contact with public
policy. the latter must maintain and the law
give way.
We have not studied these questions enough
to say whether the New Orleans Lottery Com
pany charter is repealable by the law-making
power or not, but a monopoly and as gigan-
tic and immoral evil we would like to see it
swept away.
The DEMOCRAT is bold, fearless and out
spoken, and we regard it as one of the ablest
political journals in the country. All its
doctrines have the ring of the true metal. In
fender of their rights. We hope to see the
DEMOCRAT supported In proportion to its
great merits, and certainly it has done much
to regenerate and disenthral Louisiana from
her bondage to Republication.
