BY Carl Schurz In 1874: sUnited
States soldiers, with fixed bayonets, de-
cided the case against them, and took
them out of the legislative hall by force.
/ cannot, therefore, escape
from the deliberate convictions con-
viction conscientiously formed-that the
deed done on the 4th of January, In the
State House of Louisiana, by the militia
ry forces of the United States, constitutes
a gross and manifest violation Of the
Constitution and laws of this republic.
If this can be done In LOuisi-
ana, and if such things be sustained by
Congress, how long will it be before it
can be done in Massachusetts and in
Ohio. si ~ sa lr

"There are two very distinct firm lines

the route might not be disappointed,
but all rejoicing and gayety were at

was opened for passenger traffic, and
carried one hundred and forty persons
from Liverpool to Manchester in two
hours. The original calculations of
the construction had been based on
probable returns from heavy merchan-
disc tratfic-coal, cotton, and iron;
they had formed no high expectation
of any great emolument from trans
porting passengers. But the railway
was hardly opened before an average
of 1000 persons daily were willing to
trust it with their lives. In few
years, it was found that the enormous
traffic was too heavy for the original
rails, and it became necessary to relay
the road at considerable expense. But

September Is, 1S30-the first passen-

had been won by Robert Stephenson

road, their appearance being suggest

engines had been completed and placed
upon the line, and ali had been tested
with entire success. To every engine
was attached four passenger carriages,
each containing twenty persons The
first engine, the Northumbrian, drew
the most distinguished guests-the
Duke OF Wellington, Sir Robert Peel,
and other members of the Ministry.

"No, don't see the difference, BROTH
