TOWN CHARTER AND FERRY BILL


We entertain no hopo whatever OF
the passage at the General Assemblyss
present session of tho amended act
of incorporation for DonaldsoHTlHe,
and there is scarcely greater reason
to anticipate the success OF the bill
looking to he abrogatiou of the ferry
monopoly at this place. Up to the
adjournment of the Assembly yester-
day neither house had considered
these measures. The charter is on
the Senate calendar, but no mention
of the ferry bill has yet appeared in
the journals. final adjournment is
likely to be voted early next week,
aud the intervening time will doubt
less be consumed in the consideration
of matters of general nature, to the
exclusion of local bills.
Representative Fobb has introduced
III the House a DILL TO repeal the Town
charter Internationally, but even if
there was time to secure the action of
both branches of the Assembly, it is
not probable this bill would be agreed
to until come provision is made to
liquidate the municipal debt.
Senator Landry visited town this
week to be present at the School
Boards examination of applicants for
teacherships, and he returned to the
Capital Wednesday night with tue
avowed intention of introducing the
ferry bill the following day. What
explanation can be given for his fail
ure remains to be heard.

Sultan of Turkey sent the Gear a con-
gratnlatory telegram, expressing q
desire for the renewal of friendly re-

peror replied, cordially thanking the
Sultan for his congratulations and re-
ciprocating his sentiments of frater-
nifty. So ends the great contest
which recently ragged with such de.
structive fury, threatening to involve
al the leading nations of Europe.
Confidence is now felt everywhere
that all danger of further war over
the Eastern question is past.

that if the Supreme Court refuses a
new trial of the case: he will pardon
the prisoner, and preponderance OF
public sentiment will approve the act.

feel.
The speeious argument that the
owners of the ferry grant have a
vested right under a legislative act
which the General Assembly is pow
erIess to deprive them of, would be
promptly shattered, We venture to
say, if opportunity was afforded by
the passage of the repeating bill.
This question was carefully considered
by the Senate Judiciary Committee,
comprising some of the ablest law
yers in the State, and their opinions
on the subject, as indicated by the
report in favor of the bill which was
intended to destroy that vested
right" are not to be offset by any
views the ferry manager may enter
tain in the premises. Neither will
his mock concern for the interests OF
the tax payers be accorded serious
consideration. That class of the peo-
pie would not complain of any reason
able expense incurred in an attempt
to overthrow monopoly which has
already diverted many thousands oil
dollars from the parochial and munic-
ipal treasures, and proposes to COB
BILE double as many more, thus add
ing very materially to the ratio OF
taxation necessary to meet the cost OF
local government.
Mr.. Schonberg's reference to Sena-
tor White is without point, for the
reason that the Senator had nothing
to do with originating the repeating
measure. The bill was prepared by
a member of the Ascension bar, who
forwarded it 20 Mr.. White with re-
quest for it's introduction, with which
the latter complied. The control of
the bill was thenceforth relinquished
to Senator Landry of this district, at
whose instance it was called up and
passed by the Senate. We can not
understand why the parties whose
pecuniary interests would suffer by
the enforcement of this measure, ex-
press resentment towards Mr.. White
and say nothing as to the action of
Mr.. Landry. The assertion that the
Senator from Orleans has allowed an
expectation of pecuniary gain to con-
troll his course as a legislator is a mat
ter entirely personal to that gentle
man, to be treated in such way as he
may deem proper.
The Juggling of extraneous person
alities into Mr.. Schonberg's card will
tend to weaken the salient points of
his statement has plainly permit
ted anger to get the better of discre-
ton. He should understand there is
no personal reflection upon himself
involved in the demand for the abro-
CATION of the unjust and oppressive
ferry grant the same demand would
be made if any other parties owned
the grant, aud it will continue to be
made until means are devised for re-
storing the revenues of this valuable
franchise to their former channels.
The rumor that a corruption fund had
been raised to influence legislators,
scds personal, however, and legiti-
mate subject for the denial entered by
the signer of the card but as this ru-
NOR did not originate either with
Senator White or the editor of this
paper, it affords no pretext for the ILL
natured references to those parties in
Mr.. Schonberg's illumination.

The sternwheel steamer Shannon,

miles below the city, where she sunk
to the hurricane roof. No lives were
lost, the ferry boat Little Jerry TAX
