The Exposition.
Chicago Tribune

In the progress Of events New Orleans
seems to consider it necessary that she,
too, like the great cities of the east and
north, should have an Exposition. She
has taken advantage Of what may be
termed the centennial year ofthr intro
ductian to commerce of her now t;,voriis.
and leading staple, cotton, to epeu lis
Exposition. Over S400, 900 have already
been subscribed in its behalf, and only
500 600 is now needed to reacl, The
amount required, which is heiug rapid
Iy subscribed by the citizens of that
city. The project has already reached
the point OF assured success. Exposi.
tipns i'll that section of the country are
IA novelty, and the people have entered
into The preparations for this with the
determination 10 omit OF neglect nothing
that can contribute TO its success.
The design is to make the exposition
not only national but universal; not
only 10 have exhibits frou all the South
ern States aud the States of the Union,
but from Mexico, the States of Central
America, the West Indies, the countries
Of South America, the various European
countries, ard in fact from all the iDbu-
merahle foreign sections with which the
Crescent City has commercial relations.
The Worlds Industrial aud Cotton Cen
teunial Exposition will, in the determin-
alton of its managers, he % counterpart
of the great Centennial Exposition OF
1876. Like that, it will be held under
the auspices and by virtue of the au
tholity of tile general government, an
act for this purpose having passed Con

actel, and il he pilots the Exposition to

doubt, it will add immensely to the high
opinion in which he is now held by the

The Railroad Monopoly.

Previous to and during the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, the COURIER
urged, in several articles, the passage
of law regulating tariff of passenger
aud freight rates for the government of
all railroad lines passing through the
limits Of Louisiana. 1--WE were prompted
TO suggest this legislative action, at that
date, because of the extortion and I'M
Just discrimination of the charges made
by the Morgan Company for frei ght and
trayei over their roaQ f.A bill was i'll
troduced TO that effect. bnt the railroad
magnares sent a commission 10 Baton
Rouge, aud l,y some system Of lobbying
and wiuing and dining the members
being backed by several OF the aewapa
pers Of the State defeated the passage
of the bill. The reason assigned for
voting against the bill was that it would
drive capital from our State and prevent
the building of raiiroads3 This was all
hosh, and too fliusy fora moments Sc
rious consideration. Other States have
passed similar laws. as we stated at the
time, and it did not check the building
of railroads for moment. nor did it in:
iure their traffic iii the least. To the
contrary, all of the railroads in those
States have prospered, and the people
have been protected from plumber and
extortiou. Now, since navigation has
closed in the Bayou Courtahleau, the
Morgan Company have put up their
rates to the old system Of polite robbery
of the people. This monopoly is heart
less and uncsnscionabte, and should he
restricted by the stern hand of the law,
not only for the benefit Of tIie planters
as suggested by our neigl,bor, iie Dein
oerat--but for the benefit Of all classes
of our people merchants, mechanics,
professional men, etc, as we'll. Tho
people demand Legislation on this snh-
iect. More tlian this, they want to see
our Legislators, judicial officers aud State
officers decline free passes and sumPta-
GUS dinners from railroad magnates, for
then they would feel more independent.

COMPLAINING ABOUT RATES. = The
Racket reporter was informed Yesterday
by prominent business man, that the
MERCHANTS of this city are subjected TO
constant annoyance By the action OF the
Morgan road in forcing them to prepay
all freight charges on shipments to local
points. This plan was introduced By
the Moigan road years ago, and IS
something unheatd Of in the operation
of the great railway lines throughout
the country. Aside from this the Nor
gan road refuses. to give carload rates
to local points, and charges full LEGAL
tariff rates on all shipments, aud aa the
local rates are exorbitant the merchants
of this city naturally feel provoked. ~. .
