The Result Of Bargains.

In January 1877, the question arose
in our party--and for that matter
the same question had been broacl'ed
and its suggested policy adopted on
each such occasion, for the six years
anterior to that date-which was,
whether it was better to buy the enc.
my off, or to fight him and the
buyers prevailed when the question
was put to a test in our counse's'
Mind you-our buyers did not pro-
pose to d;sbond their fighting men,
Oh, no! that was to he all along q
part of their stock 10 trade, IN fact

merchandise than any other-''immu'

Now this policy-miscalled "peace
policy" was pnt in force, and all our
old clothes dealing politicians were
called to the front. Men, whom the
weakest child in Louisiana, lisping
at its mothers breast, would not
trust ont of its sight. And they haze
been to the front erer since; making
that victory which was heralded forth
to the world in cane presentations
by Kidd, payment Of Packard Police,
speeches by Young and yells from
the gallery generally, as the work of
sublime virtue, the laughing stock Of
our sister commonwealth of the
South and a disgrace to the honor
and manhood Of Southern blood.

gallant, glorious battle and victory :;

the traders and barterers come to the
front and reduce the gallant achieve

If this trade won't bear public scru.

New Orleans Pacific Railway.

Representative Kelly Of VIM, has
introduced a bill in the Legislature of
this State granting aid to the New
Orleans Pacific Railroad. We are of
the opinion that no enterprise can lie
of such material interest to the city Of
New Orleans and the State generally
a. this railroad. Representative Kel-
ley's bill proposes. to lend the States
credit to assist in the construction and
completion of the road from New Or
leans to Shreveport, and the State line
on the route from Mansfield to Mar.
shall Texas.
The State is to issue bonds not to
exceed $2,OOO,oO0, payable in forty
years, bearing six per cent. interest
per annum. The bonds loaned to the
Company are to be secured by first
mortgage on all the property Of the
Company and the Company is prohib-
tied from issuing more than $5,WO,0O0
in first mortgage bonds-one.half Of
which must be pledged to the State.
The bill provides amply for the pay
ment, of the interest by the Company
| and protects the State fully from. any
failure on the part of the Company.
This road will be a paying one from
! the start, and the action of Represen-
tative Kelly will be cordially endor.

Last Saturday night little negro
boy, PANIED William Brandon, and
aged about twelve yeare, fell in the
cistern at the back Of Mr.. c. H. Mum.
ford's store, and the fact was not dis
covered until Monday morning, when
the body was found floating on the

Saturday night Mr.. Kraft asked the
little fellow if he could get a bucket
Of water. As he disappeared and did
not come back that night MI. Kraft
concluded he had tgone home. Sun.
day morning q srope and bucket was
discovered in the cisteru, when it was
supposed the boy had dropped it in
the night before, and, becoming
frightened, had run home to his moth.
er, aud still nothing was thought Of
it. :
Itseems the child's mother all the
while supposed Id was in town aud
gaveherself no uneasiness as to his

Surrender Of Wells.

New ORLEANS, Feb. AK. Gov.
Wells was brought to the city by the
morning train of the New Orleans
and Mobile railroad. A carriage was
in waiting at Claiborne street inter-
section to avoid the crowd which had
gathered at Caual street depot. Wells
was taken to the parish prison. He
is suffering from a slight attack of
pneumonia. DR.. Smytl,e, his pity 81
clan, was sent for. Wells declines to
answer any questions as to his reasons
for leaving the town or surrenderiDg.
The current report is that he sur
rendered to save sureties on his
bonds, bnt the fact is his counsel ex-
pccted to geta favorable jury out Of
the new panel which was drawn for
the present month.
Receiving but cold comfort from his
friends 10 Washington, Wells returns
and he returns principally because
a favorable jury panel has been
drawn-for him.
We are fully prepared to see Wells
60 scott free. The people demanded
his trial and conviction-his guilt no
man questions-but a combination
has been made to secure his, and the
entire Returning Boards acquittal,
which the Attorney General, the
Judge, nor the people can overcome.
This matter ends or will end in the
