Bot whatever may be their preferences, we
doubt not that trade will follow it's own
legitimate laws and refuee to be trammeled
by the sectionalism of any man or corpo-
ration. Texas trade will come here alop g
the Morgan road instead of stopping at
Morgan City and diverging to New York.
Then, sgaiD, We have the great Western
grain trade movement in satisfactory pro-
grese. 1t is growing, and hardly any con-
tipgency can be imagined that will arrest
or check it. 1t is 30 natural, SO reasonable
in sll respects, that all that was wanted
was commencement. That has been
made most successfully and the rest must
come. 1t is like short cut off to a long
bend in the Mississippi river. The only
difficulty is to make the ditch and got the
fret little current through it. You may be
sure that in few days thereafter all the
vast commercial fleet Of the Mississippi
valley will be steaming through it.
Our Mexican, Central American and
South American trades are also putting forth
feelers. The winter of Northern jealousy
and National hostility has kept them under
the surface 30 far, but we may now safely
calculate that the spring weather of our
independence has come. If SO, it will
take but short time for the vital forces of
nature to assert their power and clothe
every field of commerce with the foliage
of fresh and vigorous growth. The jetty
channel has rendered this port amply
capable of all this expansion, and for our
part we see no material reason for doubt
ing that next winter will bring q COM
mencement to the realization of our high
&.

Change of Fortune.

The recent dcsion of our Supreme
Court in relation to the railroad bonds
has caused business affairs to take
percepubly more cheerful tone. 1t is con-
ceded tt at the New Orleans and Pacific rail
road will be speedily completed from this
city to Shreveport. This will put us in full
commercial communication with northern
Texas at all seasons, ard establish perma-
nent, reliable relations that would be i'm
possible if Red River were the only route
Sf intercourse. The vast Texas trade that
now gees to St. Louis will then be sub
stantielly transferred to this point.
We may count confidently on a very
speedy realization of all these hopes. The
immense amount Of work already done on a
small capital argues an energy and econo-
my cf administration that guarantees the
future, humanity speaking. From all that
comes to the knowledge of the public we
are forced to believe that the present
managers of the enterprise labor for success
as earnestly, judiciously, and enthusiast
cslly as though it were exclusively their
own personal property. This being the
case, an abundant supply of financial sup
port being now assured to them, and the
most difficult portions of the road having
been already built, it does not require a
very sanguine disposition to foresee a sue
cessful accomplishment of the desired
result in the near future.
But this is not all. At the same time we
see convincing Indications of prompt
activity on the part of the Morgan rail
route. This will give US direct oommu-
nication to Houston and constitute an artery
connecting us with the very heart of
Texas. 1t is possible that Mr.. Morgan's
policy of giving New Orleans the go-by
will not be pursued by his successors.

the general "get Up" of the volumes is slightly

democratic party pledged to an observ-
ance of the reconstruction legislation of
Congress, in letter and spirit, by Hamp-
ton, Gordon, Lamar, Ben. Hill and a
few others who came as the special
plenipotentiaries of the lately rebel
lious elements at the South. The
list of Republicans killed, mutilated and
driven from their homes during the
campaign just closed cannot be explain
ed away on any theory other than that
the our confidence has been abused and
that the pledges of good behavior have
been repudiated. But from the present
indications the pretended election Of
democrats in districts heretofore repub-
lican by from 5 to 20 majority. will
react more damagingly ON the South
than the loss of twice that number of
representatives fraudulently returned
by Tuesdays alleged vote.
Except Bourbon democracy, no class
of men have more occasion to feel "cut
up over the empire States verdict than
Mr. Conkling's personal enemies Those
candid enough to speak their convictions
are forced to acknowledge it personal
triumph to the New York Senator, such
as is rarely achieved by any man. Ex-
Senator and secretary Chandler also
comes in for rather more than his pro-
portionate share of the complimentary
things said of those specially entitled to
Republican gratitude for our triumph.
But now that we have somewhat recov.
cred from the first exhilerating effect;
of the tidal wave and have dispassionate
| ly set about paying the debts we have
incurred of the leaders who organized
the great victory, the name of Blaine
is oftenest head. He has hardly reste(
since he put on his armor to lead the
republican columns in Maine. The re
verse suffered there seems only to have
made the critical nature of the struggl,
more apparent to him and to have in
spired him to almost superhuman efforts
He is said not to have rested weel
since he put on the harness early il
August. No figures of all those VIII
have occupied the field In this campaign
SO accurately fits the character which
Kearney made ridiculous by applying t,
Ben. Butler, as Blaine's. Whether il
Massachusetts,, beyond the Rocky Noun
tains, or at intermediate points, his cam
| paigning has been in the nature of
continuous oration-like the conqueror'
triumphal entry into the city that h
has relieved from the besiegers, and i
wildly recalls some episodes in the lif
of the First Napoleon.

Edwin C. Hayden Sen.
fenced to be Hung.

The decision of the Supreme Court in
the case of the State VS.. E. c. Hayden
was made on Friday last. and the respond
ent was sentenced to be hung on the first
Friday succeeding Jan. lst, 1881. The
opinion of the court was given by Judge
Rnyee@ and none of the exceptions of the
prisoners counsel were sustained Hay
den listened very attentively while the
Judge was reading the decision, and,
though haggard and pale, bore up with
great fortitude. When asked if he had
anything to say why sentence should not
be pronounced upon him, he quietly rose
and deliberately spoke as follows:
II have but very little to say, your
Honors, which will affect your action in
refusing me new trial. | am not pre-
pared to say that your decision Is an
unjust one in the brief time that have
had for its consideration but it is i'm
possible for me to believe that it was
fair to ask man to place his life in the
hands of such man as Chamberlain. |
am. to use mild expression, disappoint-
ed by your decision. [ feel confident
that were you fully conversant with the
popular prejudice that has been brought
to bear against me in Orleans county.
as we'll as the moneyed influence that
has been brought to bear by the family
of my unfortunate wife, you would at
once give me chance to try for my life
on as far as possible fair basis. But
you have decided otherwise. | will only
say further that have prepared a true
and simple version of past events as they
are understood by myself. which will be
placed before the public in the columns
of the Boston Journal in few days. l
believe | have nothing, further your
Honors."
Hayden has been taken to Windsor
and will be confined at hard labor about
% months and will then be kept in
solitary Imprisonment until the time Of
his execution, which will take place In
the State Prison on the day named
above.
