NEW ORLEANS PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Among the measures now before the Legis
at,rc. we regard as Of great Importance the
proposition to loan tho credit Of the State to
the furtherance Of that most important Of oil
the enterprises which have been projected
and entered upon by the people for
the last quarter Of century. We refer
to tho New Orleans Pacific Railroad. We need
not repeat the many urgent facts and argu-
ments In favor Of this work. itsCgreat neccE-
sity and the immense influence It's cOmplet1olS
will exercise over our future progress and
prosperity. No efforts have been spared to
obtain. by private subscription, the necessary
means to complete this road. They have thus
far proved inadequate. Appeal has now been
made to the Legislature foT the aid Of the
SS,to In the form Of a bill which contemplates
tho appropriation Of tho credit Of the State. to
the extent TO which it can be constitutionally
used. to enable the company toraise the neces-
sary funds to finish tho road. 1t is not as a do
nation OF contingent grant, but as permanent
and solid investment. guaranteed by ample Sc
curities Of the most substantial character. that
this loan ID asked. Besides the solidity OF these
securities, the State Is largely Interested in
tho increased assessment and consequent ad-
di,ion Ia the revenues Of the State which must
result from tho completion OF the road. In
view of these certain effects of such consum-
nation. we think this proposition ought to
have the favorable consideration and action OF
the Legislature.

CONSOLIDATED BONDS

Last week we printed bill which the at
torneys of the consolidated bondholders ant
number Of very largo taxpayers have agreed
10 have introduced In the Legislature We
gave tho bill our Endorsement and still regard
1t as wise precautionary measure. con
temporary, however in an article On the
lat inst. which we did not notice Mt the time.
makes q very malignant and silly onslaught
upon the proposed bill and the gentlemen who
are parties to the correspondence relative to it,
The bill in brief. Is designed simply to en-
power the city authorities to enter into con
tract with the consolidated bondholders for the
modification Of the claim of the latter against
the city, should the issue between them and
the city, now pending In the State courts, be
decided agairst the city. 1t is not desired by
the parties tn have the bill become a law I'M
less and until the suit Is decided adversely TO
the city the object Is to pass II late IN the SEES
sion and leave 1t IN the hands Of the
Governor to be signed OF rejected on the
rendition Of the decision.
The bill authorizes a contract in which the
bondholders, who, Ii they gain their suit, will
have d Judgment against the city for 1000.
will consent to consolidate this claim with the
principal of the debt. and TO defer the uolleo-
tion Of the sinking fund provided for In their
contract, for a term Of years. and the final
payment of the whole debit If we. remember
correctly. fifteen years No interest whatever
to DO collected until 1879
We see nothing In this calculated to give
the bondholders any advantage; rothing, in
deed, but what is calculated to enable the city
to enter into contract which will protect the
property of the citizens in case tho bond
holders obtain Judgment. The attack Of
the 7imes upon the gentlemen concerned in
this matter Is rude to indeceney. and the pub
lilo may well ask what is there. to excite the
Ire of the Times in this effort Of overtaxed
property holders to place themselves In a po-
sition to mako terms with creditors Of the
city whose claims. if sustained by the courts.
will be- considering the situation, enormous ?
We do not see that any possible harm can
result from the passage Of this act. whereas
much good may be effected by it, Every man
who holds an honest claim against tho city
ought to favor It. and we have very little
doubt that 1t will be passed by the Legisla-
turc If the decision of the courts should sus-
tain the claim of the bondholiers.

Boston And Her Ocean Steamers

Boston has been very much excited
over the report that line Of steam pro-
psllers was to operate between that city
and the ports Of the West Indians. All
sorts Of rumors were a6oat as tothe num-
ber Of vessels to be put on the line, some
Of the papers stating that the Atlas line
from New York was TO be transferred to
Boston, carrying with 1t the West India
trade that it had built up. II now ap-
pears that the whole affair a. respects
Boston Is merely tentative. A steam
ship firm which has been running ves :
sells 10 Halifax and southern ports has
offered to haul of one Of its Halifax
boats for the winter and operate it be-
tween Boston and the West indies, pros
vided satisfactory amount Of freight
was guaranteed. This guarantee has
been given'and the experiment will be
made. At present the European steam
ship line is the only one, other than
coastwise steamers, that Boston has.
Two steamships were running for some
time to Montevideo and Valparaiso un
der contract with their Glasgow builders.
They were not successful, and have been
drawn off from the line and sent home.
