.sToo Thick"

A republican witness before the Blaine
Teller Committee, at New Orleans, j. E.
Breda, of Natchitoches parish, testified that
in his parish the negroes are miserable
individuals who hardly dare strike back
and are killed like sheep" He adds the
astonishing statement that the parish con-
tains four thousand colored voters and only
one thousand seven hundred white voters,
and number of the latter, he says, are re-
publicans.
The public are therefore asked to believe
that less than one thousand seven hundred
white men actually kill four thousand col
ored men ''like sheep" even though the
four thousand have number of whites on
their side. If this is true, which, for the
honor and credit of the four thousand col
ored men we take leave to doubt, we must
believe, on Mr.. Bredas testimony, that the
colored men are arrant towards, incapable
of protecting themselves even where they
very greatly outnumber the whites Mr.
Breda's swift testimony proves too much.
If he had told us that there were one thou
sand seven hundred blacks and four thou
sand whites we might credit the rest of his
tale.
Free government rests, at bottom, upon
the belief that if A strikes B, B will strike
back. 1t is impossible to place corporals
guard at every mans door. 1t is absurd to
cry out that one thousand seven hundred
ferocious white men are killing four thou
sand black men '.like sheep" No man
with grain of manly spirit could have re-
spect for the four thousand sheep who al
lowed themselves to be led to slaughter by
so small q minority. Let US have done with
that kind of nonsense. We want every
man, black or white, in this country to
have his rights; but no class of men, any
where, North or South, will long retain
their rights unless they can make their
manhood respected by those who would
attack them When Mr.. Breda tells the
committee and the country that four thou
sand black men suffer themselves to be
killed ''like sheep" by much less than half
their number of whites we prefer to believe
that he libels the colored men and is at
tempting to ''stuff' the committee, to use
vulgar phrase.

house to workhouse, craving soup, and
who shovel snow and break stone for live
lihood, would make an army with which
liberties of Europe preserved" and new
glory won for the reign of Beaconsfeld.
We cannot help seeing in the present
situation in England terrible temptation
to Lord Beaconsfeld. The bent of his
mind is for war; and how many problems
war solves Patriotism is awakened, party
feelings are suppressed, taxes are cheer
fully borne, the people pull together and
support the Crown and the Cabinet the
laborers who are out of employment and food
are given muskets and food, money flows in
a stream, honors are showered on the
privileged classes, promotions fall rapidly,
industry revives, as the people ut home
must work for the men in the field. II
there is defeat then there must be more zeal
and more money. If victory, more honors
and more money. How much better to
have those hundred thousand colliers in
scarlet uniforms, tramping over the Con-
tinent behind Lord Napier, than to have
them in rags, tramping along the Birming-
ham and Manchester pixies under Brad
laugh! Truly it is a terrible temptation,
and we see nothing in Lord Beaconsfeld's
career to show any desire to rise
above it. AS for pretext, nothing
could be more easily found. The statesman
who could declare war against Shere Ali as
an enemy of England and disturber OF the
peace, and actually prove it, has courage and
imagination for anything. The distress in
England is matter, therefore, for univer-
sal concern; and not the least thing to ex-
cite our concern is the temptation it throws
in the path Of daring and brilliant states
man to whom successful war would be the
crowning point Of the most extraordinary
career in the political history Of England.

trouble of walking two or three blocks than
inconvenience, annoy and endanger thous-
ands.
1t is not quite clear @hy there should be
so much trouble on the Third avenue line
about terminal facilities and switches. The
Metropolitan 81" road has less space and
accommodation at its south terminus than
the New York 81" company has at the
Battery. Yet the Sixth avenue trains are
run with remarkable regularity and at
short intervals. If Mr.. Kicker, whose
management generally has been excellent
under very embarrassing circumstances,
wishes to please the public, he will
supply such accommodations as are at
his immediate command without any
delay, and then everybody will wait pa
tiently tor such conveniences and comforts
as the company will no doubt give them in
good time. President Field has admitted
the expediency and necessity OF discon-
tinuing the Forty second street trains and
running way station trains during the busy
hours of the day by means ofswitches. Let
Mr.. Kicker give us these improvements to-
morrow, which he has the power to do, and
then we will not press him about minor ac-
commodationS.

1t has been remarked by some one that
we have too few red letter days in our
national calendar--too few anniversaries
which we celebrate as landmarks in oui
history. Among the days not entirely over.
looked or forgotten is the 9Th Of January,
the anniversary Of the battle of New
Orleans. Even Jacksons great victory
often passes unnnoticed, although it marks
one of the most important eras in American
history, and at one time evoked more en-
thusiasm than any battle in which the arms
of the Republic were triumphant. And
even more singular than the lack Of interest
in an event so important in our history is
the fact that the story of the battle, with all
its scenes and incidents, has never been
completely told. Waterloo has been
painted in all it's varying phases,
Gettysburg has engaged hundred pens
and almost as many pencils; why, then,
should not the story OF New Orleans
be told by poet, historian and painter with
all the vividness and reality of the picture?
A correspondent to-day communicates to
the HERALD some charming "reminiscences
of the battle and an account OF visit to
the battle field by the Inflated Irish come.

A Reasonable Inquiry.

The reply of the General Superintendent
of the New York 81" Railroad TO the at
tacks made on the management of the Third
avenue line is in general satisfactory de-
fence Of the road. But it suggests some
criticism, which is made very temporarily
and Justly in the following communica-
ton -
To THE EDITOR OF HERALD
read Mr.. Rickers reasons why the New York 81"
Railroad is not yet quite perfection. Mr.. Kicker is
the general manager of the road and no doubt rep
resents the views of the directors His have
much force. No doubt the public is expecting too
much in clamoring for perfect road without allow
ing time for the completion even of very ordinary
The line has been put through TO Harlem
with almost lightning rapidty and many OF the sta
tons have not even been completed yet. Therefore
the directors have right to expect patience on the
part OF the public. But will Mr.. Kicker. If he rs so

trail trains to through train AS you have
repeatedly asked in your editorial columns why are
special trains to the Grand Central Depot ut all

running little trains perpetually between Third

Rickers letter for explanation on this point. Can
il be that he the directors interested in the
New Haven Railroad? SlXI1ETH STREET.
The people have no right to expect impos-
sibilities but when improvements can be
made without delay or difficulty the man
ayers of the ''L' railroads have as little
right to ask the people to do without them.
Our correspondent asks pertinent ques-
ton when he inquiries why the Forty second
street trains are continued in spite of con-
slant protests and of the evident fact that
their discontinuance would Inconvenience
only very few passengers and accom-
modate thousands. Each Forty-second
street train run in the busy hours of the
day leaves behind at the stations hundreds
of passengers going beyond that point, and
each, if it were through train, would help
to clear the stations and prevent the annoy
ing and perilous crowding of the platforms.
If the company cannot yet conveniently run
short trains between the Third avenue
station at Forty-second street and the
Grand Central Depot 1t had better put the
few persons who go to the depot to the
