EXCELLENT INVESTMENTS.

It Is an inexplicable thing that capitalists
prefer to keep their money locked up In gov
ernmen.A per cents when there are such tempt
ing investments offered In our own city In the
way OF the FIRST mortgage bonds OF the New
Orleans City Railroad Company. which bear 9
per cent interest and are for sale By the First
National Bank In denominations Of 800. $780,
and $1,000.
Tho payment OF the principal and interest OF
these bonds IL absolutely assured. the company
depositing every week In the Canal Bank the
sum Of sll2s. which Is irrevocably pledged for
that purpose. There IL further security for the
payment OF principal apd interest by mortgage
on valuable city real estate and upon all the
seven lines OF the company. including the pop
nlar and paying steam road to the lake. There
Gun can be- no safer or more desirable invest
ment than IL offered by these bonds. and In
view OF the rapidly increasing volume Of the
business OF the company and OF tho era OF pros
perity which has already dawned upon our
State and city the wonder ts that they are not
more readily taken up.

The Chicago Times recently published the
following statement:
"At the close Of the last campaign Mr..
Abram s. Hewitt and Lieut.. Gov. Dorsheimer
presented bills to Mr.. Tilden, the former for
count, and the latter for the hotel re Of the
members OF the st. Louis convention. The
Governor at that time refused to settle these
claims, but recently they were paid In full,
amounting to about $40, ,000."
Desiring to ascertain the truth respecting
these allegations, we yesterday sent repOr-
ter to Mr.. Dorsheirner and asked him the fol-
lowing questions:
/. Is It true that Mr.. Tilden has recently
paid you~a large sum of money, making.
when added to what he is said to have recently
paid the Hon. A. s. Hewitt, the sum OF
$4,000?
2. Is it true that since the st. Louis oonven-
tion Mr.. Tilden has been indebted to you for
the hotel fare OF members OF that convention
or for any other kind OF political expendt-
ture?
To these inquiries Mr.. Dorsheimer replied
as follows:
''In answer to your questions, say that
the statement made by the Chicago Times, 30
far as the same relates to me, is untrue. 1
never bad a claim against Mr.. Tilden OF the
kind mentioned, nor OF any other kind. He
never owed me any money, nor has he paid
whatever. I never had any pecuniary trans
actions with him.
"Such expenses as fell to me during the
cam mpaign Of 1876, except as respects very
email sum, were paid by me. l never ex-
pected Mr.. rilden to pay them; never asked
him to pay them, nor mas he paid them In
whole or In part"
