TO THE CITIZENS OF NEW ORLEANS

With view to secure to the people of this
city the exclusive and permanent control
and direction Of the New Orleans Pacific
Railway, so that it shall not pass into alien
hands, or be controlled to the detriment of
the trade and commerce Of this place, or to
the injury of our agricultural interests, or to
prevent or delay the speedy development Of
Louisiana by discouraging immigration, but
used to strengthen and uphold the credit of
State and city by making their bonded debts
secure and reliable beyond possibility of q
failure and to popularize the enterprise still
more with the mass Of our fellow-citizens by
Offering eligible Inducements to them to sub
scribe for the stock of the company the
direction now address you. To float success
fully the five millions Of first mortgage bonds
to be issued by the company for the con-
struction and equipment Of the road
the direction deem two proceedings pre-
cedent both wise and necessary. First to fix
the total amount Of stock to be issued at one
and half millions Of dollars until the line
has been open for five years to traffic. and
second, to give by local subscriptions encour-
agement to purchasers Of bonds to repose
implicit faith in their absolute safety as an
investment. The first has been done, and the
second the people are now invited to favor and
complete, as follows:
The stock of the company is now offered to
subscribers on the following terms, to wit
Five per cent in cash of amount of subscrip-
ton at time OF subscribing, and the balance in
notes payable monthly, as follows: Ten per
cent January |, 1870 10 per cent February / ;
10 per cent March 1; 10 per cent April 10
per cent May l.; 10 per cent June /; 10 per
cent July 1 10 per cent August / Is per cent
September 1, 1879
This liberal plan, it is hoped, will meet the
approval Of every one, and on Monday, the
twenty -second instant, books of subscription
will be opened at the office Of the company.
1t Is proposed to issue stock untransferabe
on the books of the company for the amount
subscribed by each person, which will entitle
the holder to vote at all elections Of the COM
pany, but not to claim transferable stock
until his subscription has been paid In full In
cash.
The president OF the company can exercise
his discretion In accepting or rejecting sub
scriptions.
By order of the Board of Directors

power to send for persons and papers and ad-

a few little trihes like that, just to make
things in this republic hum. He asked
for that power several weeks ago, and came
pretty near getting it, but there were not quite
two-thirds of the House ready to stop every
thing else in order to authorize Glover to
fling himself and his committee abroad upon
the land, and he had to content him

But Glover is not the man to be discouraged

and would not cause violent contraction OF
currency.
II. Silver coins made legal-tcndcr only for
their market value. Then no one could be
wronged. and if use of silver should cause
gold to fail, silver would necessarily rise.
III. Silver coins legal-tender for new
debts only, and limited as TO issue.
1t is not difficult to find an honest ba-

The Republican party canrot afford to
permit any other than an honest basis
to be adoptcd-any which involves hos

Nation. For that would break the best hold

strained silver logic and silver morality would ult-
mately live.
Congressman Townsend. of Troy. has sent letter
to the editors Of his home newspapers defending his
conduct in not voting for the motion 10 lay tho
amended Silver Bill on the table. He said he op.
posed the original BILL but has consistently favored
an issne Of silver limited to $50, 900, 900; that IL
the amended bill had stopped the coinage at that
point he would have voted fsg it, that he did not
vote against IT, because he was sure IL liver dollars
became a nuisance Congress would itself stop the
coinage that he urged Congressman TO vote for the
amended bill, because he hoped its passage would
mollify Western discomfort, and thus the East
from more disastrous legislation; that the excite
ment in four-fths of the United States about finan-
cal legislation is such man IN Troy can esti-
mate, aud be believes the passage OF the bill will
tend to soOthe and perhaps cure u. In response. The
Troy Times tells Mr.. Townsend that his position Is
untenablc; that he cannot excuse himself for not
voting against unlimited silver on the ground that
Congress will stop the coinage II the dollars become
a nuisance; that the question Of public excitement
has nothing to do with the merits of the bill his
duty was to follow his icti0ns and pay no heed
10 camOr; that his faith in soothing the excitement
by this concession is already shown TO be n mistaken
one ,lnce five bills providing for more disastrous
legislation have already been presented to the
House in short that his excuses are no excuses ut

MOKE ABOUT THE SILTER BILL.


The President was expected to veto the
Silver Bill. Yet the stand of Secretary Sher-
man. if, as is reported, he holds that the bill
can be so executed as to make it a peculiarly
strong measure for resumption, is also entirely
comprehensive, though not a reason for sign
ing the BILL Here is bad and mischlevOus
measure, and YET one so stupid that it
can he made to defeat Itself completely. 1t is
q Good thing that the Secretary cOmprehends
il. and knows how to use it if, unfortunately
for the honor of the country, it becomes a
law. But if il were certain that the country
could more easily and surely resume specie
payments by means of this bill, that wonld
not be good reason for signing measure OF
bad faith, nor for casting q single vote to
save it from defeat.
If the bill should pass, Mr.. Shcrman's con-
stIucti0n of it would become very important.
Ii he executes it rightly, the Act might do 10
immediate practical harm. ana its tremendous
capacities for contraction of the currency have
been explained. But the President has pledged
himself to defend the public faith, and If no
pledge had been given, that would still be his
first duty. The Secretary of the Treasury has
given buyers of bonds to understand that
principal and interest would be paid In gold.
1t will be his business to obey laws, when
passed, but it is not his duty to neglect any
honorable effort to make good his assurances

We should never have known that there was a
Gontcmon's Sons Association in this city II the
president of the fraternity had not died. This event
brought out the usual notice 10 the members of the
time and place OF funeral. We deduco from the
names used in the advertisement that the Gentle
mems sons are mainly the sons of Irish gentlemen.
This reminds of the old disputes in the Oud coun-
thry" about gcntiIity. The matter used 10 be of
some Importance there. because a man who was not
gentleman could not have the pleasure Of being
killed or of killing IN duel. The genteel standing
of several persons was actually discussed in the legal
tribunals, and was more than once determined by
grave judicial decision, We did not know that there
were any disputes of that kind in tins land Of equality
and democracy. We had supposed that all sons here
were the sons of gentlemen. always provided they
behaved themselves such. We imagined that this
thing had been brought down to pretty fine point;
and particularly that the notion of II Transmission
of gcntillty By hership had been conclusyely ex-
ploded with the law of entail and tho right of
prmOgonIture. We are not sorry to find, however.
that m the Eleventh Ward of this city there are
free and emil ghtcncd citizens who arc not ashamed
To call themselves gentlemen. The name and the
pretenslon which it was thought to imply, at one
time had fallen into little dsrepute, somewhat to
the dorimcnt of good manners man who claimed
to be "a gentleman had hard work to be elected to
any Office, and sometimes found it impossible to
vote his sentiments with any comfort. We shall be
glad to find gentlemen increasing in number, not
only in what called the upper circles, but among
those who " wear hoddcn-gray, and a that"

Governor Holiday has vetoed the repudla-
ton bill passed by the Legislature OF VIZ
Ginia, and in a manly, straightforward way,
declares the duty of the state to pay its debts.
lie tells the regulators that the bill Is "a
"procamation of war" against THEN creditors
and he will not join in it. lie even attempts
10 rouse State pride against the scheme by re-
minding Virginians that the justice and honesty
of the debt have bccnrepcatcdly acknowledged,
and a Legislature 1" composed of men Of the
'old regime Indignantly Spurned the idea OF
reputation. But appeals to State pride are
not likely to avail much, seeing that the
other side has already exhausted them, aud
Governor Kempcr Trad the impddcnce to de-
mand REIMBURSEMENT" in accordance with
" the traditional reputation of Virginia. a
much better ground Of hope is the fact that

a two-thirds vote.

As is pointed out in our Albany cOrrespon-
dcnce, the hostility of the various factions OF
the Democratic party i'll this city, IN Brooklyn
and in the interior of the State. to Tammany
Hall, renders that organization placti-
cally pOwerless in the Legislature, and
puts into the hands of the Republicans
a great opportunity to tighten the oppressive
burdens of this city. II the attempt is made
in good faith. it can hardly fail to succeed, if
Governor Robinson still feels as he did when
he wrote his message. The first step was
taken yesterday. Mr.. DAILY Withdrew his
loosely w0rded resolution, asking the Commit
tee on Cites to report legislation providing for Il
reduction Of 20 per cent in all salaries under
the City Government over 81, 0O0 and offered
Il substitute which calls for legislation affect
ing an aggregate reduction of 20 per cent in
the whole sum of those salaries. This substi-
tnte was adopted by vote Of II
to n, leaving Tammany Hall and its
rural allies in an insignificant minority.
1t Is now in the power of the Committee on
Cities to press this question, and We shall look
to Mr.. Fish to do so, without fear or favor.
This city is fairly eaten up with the cxtraya-
CANT salaries of its oilice-llOdcrs and there il
an opportunity here to get relief which ought
not to be lost. There is hope for the taXpay-
crs at the worst. Even Mr.. Grady, Tammany IS
Young spokesman, admitted that q reduction
WAS necessary.
