One of our contemporaries says that all the
defects except one, which are found to exist
$ in the projected charter, are copied from the
present one. This means, really, that all the
evils of the existing charter, and one in addi
tion, are reproduced in the new one, which is
a strange recommendation for an instrument
claiming to be a great improvement on the ac
te:d order of things. The fact is that the evils
of the present system are all intensely aggra
vated in the new one, because almost un
limited powers and extraordinary opportuni
ties for fraud and corruption are placed in the
hands of the proposed administrators.
I)I'( I IMINATION Iv Ii Cii0)AD) FRETi;iTs
AOAINsT NEW (ORLEANS.-W-\ invite the atten
tion of those of our realers who are at all in
- • terested in the commercial prosperity of oar
city, to the annexed extract from the table of
charges, made by joint agreement of the
Jackson, Mississippi Central and Mississippi
and Tennessee Railroads, on cotton shipped
to New Orleans from Memphis and from in
termediate points to New Orleans. t
The freight on a bale of cotton from om.e
. phis to New Orleans is *'2 25. The follow
ing are the rates to New Orleans from points
on the Mississippi Central Railroad between
' Memphis and Grenada, Miss. :
From aeastnhis, $5 50 From RBtesvilo. t.; 21 6
From ,crg ('ret k, 3 (: From Harrisan's, 4 50
From Oakland, 4 25
And the following are the rates to New Or
leans from stations on the Mississippi Con
: tral Railroad, which runs from Jackson,
Tenn., to Canton. Miss. :
From .ckson. $-4 .o From Oxford, t ; t'
From H-llySp:irge 4 40 From I'tffeeville, 1 . I
From Grenada, 4 i,0 From West's, 3 75
And yet as if this discrimination against
way freights on these roads were not injurious s
enough to New Orleans, the freight on a bale
of cotton from xfox d, Miss., to New York, is
but $8 75 by rail, or a little over twice what
is charged to New Orleans, for a distance that
is three times as great in a straight line and o
more than that by rail. c
The mass of the property-holders of New
Orleans do not approve of the attempt of a ii
few wealthy men to usurp the government of
the city. The majority are interested in c
some trade, or occupation, or profession t
which would be taxed to death to benefit the
large proprietors. New Orleans is a conem
S mercial city and the masses of its inhabitants tl
are engaged in commercial, or industrial p"r- r
suits. These have no notion of ab li ating It
" their right to govern themselves in fivor of a 1
few gentlemen who assume an especial capa- a
city for municipal administration. d
. d
t nder the new charter the election of re.
corders is to be taken from the people and g
l' given to six oligarchs. We suppose the pre- a;
text is that the people may be bought. Are a
a whole community to be purchased more iL
easily than six men? a?

The arrangement for the settlement of the l
Alabama claims so-called, provides for the ap
4 pointment of four commissioners, two by
. each government ; and to this commission
the Alabama claims are to be referred as well ha
S as all others. If a majority of the commis
sioners agree, either for or against the habil- tL
ity of the British government, that settles the cc
question of principle, and the commission will
proceed to audit the claims and fix the amount
of reparation. In case the commission shall
be eqnually divided, they choose their own
umpire in certain classes of claims; but if
they differ on the Alabama claims, the two t
governments are to jointly select an arbitra- t
tor, who is to be confirmed by the American de
S Senate; this arbitrator to decide merely on the
question of liabihty. the question of amount
then revertirng to the commission. a
: The etltct of this arrangement may be to
bring the United States in debt even if all th~ 1
Alabama claims be allowed. The cases in
which British property suffered during the tb
Swar by the illegal acts of the United States u
cruisers were very numerous, and the amount fe
of the resulting claims will be very large.
We do not believe that one in twenty of the
property holders of New Orleans ever saw the i
proposed charter prepared by a few real e -
tate owners, and we are sure that not one in la
ten would approve of it. The masses of the m'
property holders would suffer like the rest of
their fellow citizens from unjust discrimina- I.
tions against trade and industry in the distri- t
bution of taxation. pe

'i In the course of its investigations on the 5:
S adulteration question, the New York World 01
has come to the article of condensed milk. It
is found that, in most cases, this is mixed
with an excess of sugar. The object of ad
ding so much sugar is to conceal the fact that th
the milk was skimmed before condensation. hi
Throughout the country many thousand in
Sfants are fed on condensed milk, on the sup- be
position, perhaps well founded, that it is sn- tb
perior to the mysterious fluid dispensed in
cities under the name of cow's milk. But le
thelarge proportion of sugar is said to be .
cloying and clogging to the infantile intes- cc
tines and. in the opinion of the World, causes
the death of many hundredcsof children. Be
sides this, the sugar-burdened milk having de
been robbed of its cream, is deficient in nu
tritive properties. Be

The telegraph announced, yesterday, the
election of Mr. Pratt as United States
senator from Indiana. This shows that the
bolters have been successful in effecting the
defeat of Lient. Governor Cumback. We re
ferred, a day or two ago, to the controversy
which led to this split, and now, as the sub
ject is one of some interest, and as this is
the first instance in which a kind of intrigue,
unfortunately too common among politicians,
has led to the defeat of a caucus nominee, at
the hands of his own party, we think it well
to lay the correspondence in the case before
our readers.
Last winter, Gov. Baker, of Indiana, and
Col. Wm. Cnmback were candidates for the
gubernatorial nomination of the Republican
party. Before the meeting of the conven
tion, CoL Cumback addressed the following
letter to Gov. Baker :
GREENPIR-so. INn., Jan. c,, l1984.
GovsRonR R.1sAR-D-ear Friend--if I had not
a thousand thbings to demand my attention this
week, I weuld come up and see you. I wil,
tterefiue. 'eanture to make this suggestion: I
think Herd-icks will be chosen by the Democrats,
and be will certainly, (if be intends to inspire
hope among his friends.) resign his pol:iun. The
person appointed by you, will, other things
being equal, stand the best chance to be chosen
by our Legislature. If you will assure me of the
appointmintt, I will withdraw from the contest for
any position on the State ticket, and take the on
Pition of elector at the State convention. If this
prop,irion does not meet with your aipr ,bstiao,
please return this letter to me. Let me hate your
ret ly at an early day. I do most earnestly hope
fur the nnioy ut the Republican party.
I ant, as ever, your friend,
WILL (-'BA ',.
To this proposition Gov. Baker responded
as follows :
INDIANAI'OLtI, Jn. 8, 1$.,3.
i,,,. Will Lumback. UIsreus aurr, Iudiana.

measuret me by so low a standard of ci:OmJu
morality as to make it.
I Lave the honor to be,
Your obedient servant.
(OiNRA D 13A KR.
Col. Cumback subsequently withdrew from
the contipt for governor, and was nominated
and I lectrd1 lieutenant governor. At the re
cent cauncus of the Republican members cE the
Legislature he was nominatedI for the Senate
to succeed Mr. IIendricks. Some of the Re
publican Imnmbers, who were conversant with
the fiacts of the case as above stated, refused
to abide by the decision of the canucuns, and
determined, if possible, to defeat the nominee.
The matter was publicly referred to in the
State Senate and led to a long debate, which
resulted in a call for the correspondence. In
response to this call Col. Cumback adresad
the followiun letter to the Senate. inclosing
the one to Gov. Baker, given above:

In the meantime Gov. Baker addressed to
one of his friends in the Senate the subjoined
communication, which was read as soon as
Col. ('umback's letter had been produce1:

S THE WORLD WITHOUT CHRISTIA&ITY.
re
While Catholic writers are constantly an
td pouncing the failure of Protestantism, and
ie Protestant writers are constantly announcing
in the failure of Catholicism, there is a third
1. class of writers who philosophize or rom-tnti
cg cize upon the broad, but usually veiled or imn
plicit, assumption of the failure of the Chris
tian religion itself. It is not to be denied that
t tL:- last constitute a formidable school
I in modern literature; a sort of profane or
I pa:,n school which is respectable and influen
tial enough to have made it quite a fashion
ariong the large and increasing circle of edu
s rcated people who are free, as they fancy, from
e religious prejudices, to speak of Christianity
as decayed and effete beyond the possibility
Iof leg neration. But these apostles of reli
t, , ran dt cadence and their disciples signally
ir Iljistake, as wL think, the signs of the times.
iTLo,e signs indicate a crisis, indeed, in the
re.llious history of the civilized world. An
ev Ltful turning point, a momentous transi
d toli, are at har.d doubtless. But a candid
s;iilr y and study of the diagnosis of what
s, me rgard as the last sickness of a doomed
rt,i:i( n, will much more forcibly sugg0ist the
" ,xl etation of a new evolution of Christianity,
t' i.a the Lhe"lif in its imminent death.
'Ihe fact is th:t, let the so-called rationdl
i-ts reason as they may, it is impossible to
filnl a rational concept on of the absolute
and final decay of religion as developed in
Christianity. The highest manifestation of
the religious eleioent in human nature, it
may appear in new and improved phases and
e functions, as the most advanced of mankind
e experience new conditions, tendencies aind
aspirations; but. conceivably, it can not
Sperish while e,il,:,atin lives and human
progress lasts.
Meanwhile, there are those who, imagining
that the fall of the whole fabric of the Chri.;
e tiau religion is near at hand, want to know
if the woild would not gain by the loss; for,
1 they ark, what, after all, has Christianity,
with its ideal of moral perfection, done for
the improvement of mankind'' Bu;t let us ask,
in return--and the retortis perfectly logical
where is the ground for a rational hypothe,is
that the world would have been better o0il or
as well as off in any particular, moral or phys
ical, without Christianity ? It is profouud
ly and sadly true that it has not ban
ished sin and misery from the earth.
But were there no sin and misery on thi
ear:h before the Christian dispensation
was procl..imed? That it has not exalted
mankind, even Christian men and women as
common parlance has them, to the moral like
ness of the 3M1e,sianic lawgiver, is also most true.
But is this the fault of the precept or example
which it commended to their contemplation ?
If so. then we must assume that it is criminal
jurisprudence that makes criminality, and tht
the true w.y to set about reforming the wick
ed and conserting society into a perfect con
dition in wLich all would live decently, hurt
i hloly, and give every one his due, is to re
pe d :aws of every kind and discard even the
nr~mes of i- tice, right and drty. But it is
plain that if human nature should continue to
abound, as ntw, with vices and imperfections,
this meth(d of reform would be simply social I
suicide and moral nihilism. And yet those
sLo -.seurt the failure of Christianity because
numnkind are still dreadfully far from approx
imation to its ideal, must also assert the futil
ity of all codes, human or divine, and the ex
; edirncy of abandoning every principle on
h Lich socie ty is organized and civilization and
!rg t are maintained.
It is a noticeable feature of the proposed
chtrter that it prosides no means of impeach.
ing or rtmovieg from oftice the administra
t(is bho a it charges with the city govern
mnr-it. Thb,-e persons imay be incompetent,
cr tihey ;0)3 be corrupt; but corrupt or in
completent, they are to be fastened on the peo
ple for four xears.
Under the new charter there is no division
betwi en the legislative power and the execu
tive power. Six men, collectively, are the
council, and the same six men, individually,
are the executive and administrative officers.
There is positively no check on their powers
as legislators; and there is no accountability,
on their part, for the abuse of their powers as
administrators. This is what some persons
seiioul ly call responsibility.
News froum Mexico says that the concession
granted in 1lt;t to Emile LaS,,e for building
the Tehuantepec road has been modiied. IBy
the new conditions Mr. LaSere is to construct
the road from Coatzacoalcas, on the Gulf of
Mexico, to Ventosa, a port on the 'Pacitic side.
Until tihe railroad is completed, conitunica
ticn must be kept open by means of a wagon
road, for the construction of which four and
a half years are allowed. If Mr. LaS:'e
shall succeed in'carrying out this important
project his fellow-citizens of New Orleans will
owe much to his sagacity, energy and enter
prise.
The projected charter is recommended by its
supporters because of its simplicity. Exactly n
so. P'opular government is a complex and deli
catb machine ; but there is nothing so simple
as your oligarchy, or your despotism If sim
plicity is what we need, why not convert the
United States government into a despotism F
hlke that of Russia ? If simplicity is so much
required in a single city that its government
must be a council of six, almost as absolute
as the Venetian Council of Ten, for much
stronger reasons the government of the
United States should be converted into an
autocratic despotism.

" I stand for that money," said Butler in
at. his laudation of an inconvertible currency,
d "which is by far the better agent and instru
ment of exchange of an enlightened and free
ie people than gold and silver-the money alike
1e of the barbarian and the despot." This But
of lerian argument is a style of sophism by no
' means new. But it is so oonsummately silly
e as to detract vastly from the admiration with
d which we have heretofore viewed the rugged
and cavernous ugliness of Butler's
mcral and intellectual deformities. Let
us restate it, and logically extend
o- it by a few examples, and see what it will
d come to. The barbarian and the despot prefer
IR good money-gold and silver, namely-to
rd trash; that is to say, to a desiccated rege
2- table pulp called paper currency. Therefore.
a- civilized and Christian people must abjure
s" good money, must relinquish gold and silver
at to heathens and reprobates, and be content
o witl. trash and impecuniosity. The barbarian
)r and the despot know a fat, succulent turkey
a- from a lean, loath some turkey buzzard, and
in they do not hesitate to appropriate the former
- to their gastronomic gratification and their
Q physical nourishment. Wherefore, according
7 to the Butlerian logie, men of culture who
y despise barb:.rism and abhor despotism, must,
on principle, sject plump, juicy turkeys,
y and consider themselves happy in drink
d ing the broth and chewing the sinews
e of integumentous, nasty and stinking
n turkey buzzards. Again, barbarians and des
1- pots, it may be supposed, like good tob sceo
d urd good whisky, and will have no other kind
it if left to their own choice. Of course, then,
d a refined gentleman or a democrat must
e poison himself with the nicotine of a rank,
. untragrant leaf, or with the fusel-oil of a crude
and excoriating liquor. In short, it is re
1- juired of us by the same Butlerian creed
' hich demands that we shall renounce gold
0 and silver, that we shall also give up to the
n exclusive use of barbarians and despots all
1 the good and wholesome things in this world.
Does Butler expect to figure among the bar
i barians or despots, or among both, in enjoy
ing the resulting monopoly ?
