TRE NORTE LOUISIANA AND TEXAS
RAILROAD.
Mr. John lay's letter, which will be
Sound in another column of the Dma
ooiAr this morning, is, we believe, the
irst reply he and his associates in the
North Louisiana and Texas Raillroad
Company have made to the many
lharges of fraud preferred against that
corporation. Mr. Bay's letter is a very
clear and lawyerlike statement of the
company's case, and is, we assume, the
very best that can be presented. Mr. Ray
Is himself a man of large ability; sev
mal of his associates are also men of a
high order of iatellect; he has a large
pecuniary interest involved, and his
honor and integrity as a man are at
stake. No man could have higher or
greater incentives to put his defense,
and that of his assoolates, in its best and
strongept light, and upon Its firmest
grounds, and it would be contrary to
reason and common sense to suppose
for a moment that Mr. Ray has failed
to do this, or has omitted to make a
salgle possible argument in behalf of the
North Louisiana and Texas Railroad
Cootpany. We therefore regard his letter
as his complete defense, and regarding it
as such we sincerely regret that it isa
mere tissue of special pleading, a skill
ful evasion of the real merits of the
question, and that as a defense against
the harges of conspiracy, fraud and the
plunder of the public treasury it is
Utterly worthless.
The charges preferred by the Diwo
mar against the leading and controll
ing spirits of the North Louisiana and
Texas Railroad Company are, that,
through a sheriff sale, made in 186., the
parties composing that company de
trauded the stockholders and bond
holders outof the property of a valuable
railroad by purchasing it at a fraudu
lent sale for a nominal price; that
through various acts of corrupt Legisla
tures they secured a charter and a
large amount of State bonds; that
through the decisions of imbecile and
then of infamous courts they had the
scandalous acts of these Legislatures
deplared valid, and thus imposed upon
the State it funded debt of $672,000, re
presenting $1,120,000 of fraudulent
bonds, with interest for many years,
and that the State has not received one
dollar of property, benefit or compen
sation in return.
Ur e"T nts thn a ashavrern h. -in.
arJ. £W17 £ueslU .UV V UU(&LLV Uy U api
lag; first, that the Supreme Court of
1866, in two suits, decided that the sale
of the railroad was valid. Second, that
the oonstitutional convention of 1868
validated all judicial sales made an
terior to 1868. Third, that the Legls
lature in 1868 granted the pur
chasers a charter, and finally, that
various decisions of the Ctircuit Court of
the United States and of the Louisiana
Supreme Court, of infamous memory,
rendered decisions validating the sale
of 1866 and the subsequent acts of the
Legislatur egranting charter, bonds, etc.
Mr. Ray's statements, weak as they are,
are in some cases totally incorrect, and
in others only true in part. The decision
of the Supreme Court in 1866, if our
memory is not at fault, determined the
validity of the sale as between Branner
& Co., and not as between the stock
holders. The Convention of 1868 de
elated that all judicial sales, executed
contracts, etc., pade in good faith, etc.,
should be valid. That Convention, cor
rupt and revolutionary as it was, did not
attempt to validate fraudulent sales
such as the Supreme Court of the United
States has declared the saleof the North
Louisiana and Texas Railroad to Lude
ling & Co. to be. But even if it had done
so, what effect would it have had ? No
convention can validate judicial frauds
any more than they can validate
the title of a highwayman to
the property he has robbed and
murdered to possess himself of.
The court of which Judge Kennard
was a member did not render a de
hlo= settling the constitutionality of
act 10. of e180. In the suit detaormined by
the declsion referred to by Mr.Blay, the
act in question was attacked as umnon
stitutlonal upon two grounds. The
court considered that only one of the
grounds of attack touched the merits of
the suit, and It decided that that ground
was not well taken, and declined to
pronounce upon the remaining ground,
and the constitutionality of the not is
still open to attack.
But for the sake of the argument let
us concede that all the statements made
in Mr. Bay's letter are strictly true.
What do they prove? They might have
some weight in a lawsuit, but they would
not refute, nay, they would not touch the
hideous and irrefutable fact that by the
acts of the Legislature and the decisions
of the courts referred to the State of
Ipulsiana has been defrauded to the
amount of six hundred and seventy-two
thousand dollars of consols repre
senting the $1,120,000 of bonds Issued
for the North Louisiana and Texas Itel
road Company. There is no construc
tion of the law; no pleadings or argu
mnents, no acts of the Legislature nor
decisions of the courts which can refute
this fact or justify it and make It honeht.
We have not attacked Mr. Ray and his
associates on the ground that this trans.
action was not perpetrated under the
forms of law. Our complaint does not
rest upon the irregularity of the pro
ceedings and the absence of form; it is
based upon the fact that under the
forms of law and with a studied regular
ity of proceeding a gigantic outrage, a
stupendous fraud or robbery has been
perpetrated upon the taxpayers of Lou
loana. In a decision rendered in this
case-a decision which Mr. lay in mass.
Ing his acts and decisions has scrupu
lously ignored-the Supreme Court of
the United States assailing and de
nouncing the sale of the road to
Ludeling, Ray and others in 18O0 as a
robtbery, said:
A maln nmay Ilhave n en,i,,loetnl Iltrally ih
nil ita proc'rW.so and forns ant d yI t the put'
cihai. r mlay haivo insol gullty of fr1aud.
And again: and we may say of the
State as the Supreme Court said of the
complainants in the private suit:
The conlt lainanttl rely upon no lrr.lulnarilty
of pr.wcelinolgs, * * 1 hely iely
unPt1 faithbli llstr to trIusts iland enltll n iI ,h
Ilgations; upon coOminatrltilonlt algainst the
policy of thie aw and fraudulent.. lnd uponl
P,onl(oratmt atln null WmottIIl otrrla to deprive'
Iholll wrongfully of propoerty.
Uranting then, as we nave sale be
fore, that Mr. Iay's statement of facts
is correct, what does it amount to?
Literally nothing. The legislatures
which passed the acts, the Executive
who approved them, and the State
courts which rendered the decisions
upon which Mr. Ray relies, were parts
of a stupendous conspiracy against the
rights, liberties and properties of the
people of Louisiana, and Messrs. Lude
ling, Hay and others, as the facts show,
joined li that conspiracy to perpetrate
this fraud upon the State. Ludeling &
Co, managed and manipulated the sale;
the legislative branch of the conspiracy
passed acts validating it and appropri
ating large amounts of bonds to the
fraudulent company organized by the
purchasers; the judicial branch of the
Iniquitous combination declared all the
prooeedings legal, and the taxpayers
were cut off from all protection and
redress.
This is a fair and very temperate
statement of the case; far more temper
ate, indeed, than that made by the
Supreme Court of the United States in
the case of Jackson vs. Ludeling, which
Mr. Ray has ignored and in which the
righteous indignation of that august tri
bunal is ill concealed under its vigorous
oharacterization of the proceedings of
Messrs. Ludeling & Co. In this very
matter. The simple publication of that
decision would be the best and most
withering exposure of the sophistry by'
which Mr. Ray weakly attempts to vlin
dicate the perpretation of a gigantic
fraud upon the taxpayers of this State.
That decision declares the sale by which
Ludeling, Ray and others obtained pos
session of the North Louisiana and
Texas road a fraud and conspiracy, null
nd void, and affirms that they have no
right nor title to the property.
w na, tnen, is tne rorce or value or
not 108 of 1808, granting the purchasers
at that fraudulent sale a charter? Was
not, then, the railroad stock which Lud
eling & Co. transferred to the State in lieu
of its second mortgage, by authority of
act 97 of 1872 stolen property, and can
not the State protect its interests by
proceeding against the men who were
the perpetrators and beneficiaries of
this fraud, and who are now the owners
of a judgment just rendered for a large
sum of money?
We do not pretend to be learned in
the law, and we shall not attempt to
follow Messrs. Ludeling, Ray & Co.,
through its intricacies and refinements.
It may be that a ring of speculators
can obtain possession of a vast and
valuable property by such jugglery and
fraud as the Supreme Court of the
United States has pronounced the sale
of the North Louisiana and Texas Rail
road to have been; it may be that they
can organize and themselves form part
of a nefarious conspiracy composed of
the Legislature, Executive and courts,
through that conspiracy obtain im
mense grants of money from the legisla
tive branch of the conspiracy and have
the sale and grants and all other parts I
of the fund declared valid and constitu
tional by the judicial branch of the
conspiracy; and it may be, that when
this scandalous combination is broken
up and exposed, and honest men
are sent to the Legislature and placed
upon the Bench, there can be
found no legal process by which the
wrong done the State can be redressed
and the robbers brought to justice.
This is a question of law-a matter for
attorneys and courts to aetermine. But
be it as it may, it is certain that the
transaotion will have been none the less
a damnable outrage, and that the per.
petrators of it Aill go through life and
down to their graves with fraud branded
by public opinion in letters of living
fire upon their characters.
THE SUPREME OOURT OF LOUISIANA
AS A REFORMATORY TRIBUNAL.
Our Mupreme Court, during its recent
session in this city, discharged with
consummate ability the principal duty
of its mission-that of correcting, re
versing and reproving many of the out.
rages of its predecessor, which have
brought so much disgrace upon the judl
ol2 history of our State during the last
ten years. The darkest chapter of 4e
history of the reign of Radicalism in
this State is that which records the Ju
dicial sanctions given to the corruptions
and frauds of the public offlllals who
for so many years fattened upon the State
and oppressed the people. There was
no possibility of arresting the mis.
deeds of these omicials so long as such
courts existed as were created by War
moth and Kellogg.
It has been a Herculean labor to
cleanse the Temple of Justice, which had
been polluted by every form of political
and moral filth. Our present Supreme
Judges have, however, proved equal to
this great task. We regret the delay
in the publication of the official report
of their decisions during their last term,
as it deprives us of the gratification of
presenting to thb people a review there.
of in illustration of the extent of their
reformatory labors, and of the high tone
of morality, integrity and justice which
pervades all their judgments.
The style of these decisions gives addi
tional strength to the sentiments of equi
ty, honor and virtu,, which they express.
They embody admonitions to inferior
judges, to lawyers and to litigants,whlch I
ought not to be limited in their circula
tion to the 'professional and litigious I
classes, butshould be given to the whole I
people for their moral guildaneo. In I
this view we regard our Supreme Judges <
as occupying the position assigned by e
the Romans to the Censor---that of e
,cuRstdue morimn. It is especially incum- c
bent upon the Judges of our Supreme c
Court to guard well the honor and me- I
rality of the Bar and protect the people t
from the possible abuse of their great s
power and influence over the masses. t
in not a few cases have the present t
judges performed this duty with im- I
pressive dignity and effect. We happen a
to have at hand two of the opinions of u
the court wherein the Chief Justice adl
ministers to two prominent members of t
the Radical party reproofs of the char- t
acter we have indlicated, and which are v
well worthy of publication as illustra.
tive of the tone of morality and sense of a
professional duty inculcated and en- t
forced by the present court. s

In the case of Jacob Hawkins, late
Judge of the Superior District Court,
the Chief Justice thus handles the con
duct of Judge Lynch on the occasion of
one of the grossest judicial improprie
ties ever perpetrated by a judge:
" In this csme til testimony of tlle i er of
tihe court was olTerlei to rlove his iown i e-ll5
omssfutl atlmpllit to bribe one olf tlhe jurors,
and, upon ascertanilng tlint tile ('rir ihad dis
ap)ipearedl, the presiding judge was offered it)
,rove the crier's adntitiion that he had
sippedl the piee oIf paper into. )'Aquin's
land while the jury was yet undllcitdexl. The
refusal of the judge to grant a new trial under
(thse circumstances is not nierely an error in
law. It is ollicial misconduct., reprl'ehensibtle
in all of its phases. It was htis duty to order
a new trial e.c mero molu. A judge is
the conservator of his court. Tihe conserva
tion of its purity is lhis first andi ighest fune
tion. It should not require the interposition
of counsel, or of any subordinate ofliwer of the
crourt to move the judge promptly to repair
tn injury to hisown administration of julstice
ffTected by such foul means. The knowledge
of the stain on that d(lay and by that act
stamped upon his court was brought home to
him by protracted and repeated appeals for
its removal. His knowleodge of the facts was
attempted to be elicited and, instead of mak
ing that knowledge the basis of an instant
anld voluntary order which should wrest from
the briber the fruits of his wrongful act, he
permitted the verdict, which he knew to have
been bought, to tarnish the records until the
appeal to a higher tribunal shall have re
moved the opprobrium thus cast on the law
and those who administer it.
Nearly four years have passed since the
verdict was rendered in this case and we
may reproduce here the indignant expres
sions of Lord Denman in rendering his cele
brated judgment in O'Connell vs. the Queen:
"If it is possible that such a practice as
Lhat which has taken place in the present in
stance should be allowed to nass without a
remedy, trial by jury itself, instead of being
a security to persons who are accused, will
ae a delusion, a mockery and a snare."
The foregoing extracts from recent
lecisions of our Supreme Court are a
!air illustration of the elevated tone of
morality which pervades the judgments
*endered by that august tribunal, and
ire calculated to impress the publio
nind with the conviction that impartial
ustice and equity are the measure by
whaih litigated rights will be deter
mined during the tenure of office of our
present 8upreme Judges,
THE SUGAR SHED O0MPANY.
The contract between Fleitas & Uo.
and th4 city for the use of the squares
of property occupied by the sugar sheds
provides that the city shall be paid ten
per cent of the gross receipts 3 of the
company.
Knowing that the company's stock
was considered among the best in the
city ; that it was quoted at 98 ofn 0 dollars
paid up; that sugar dealers complained
very loudly of the heavy charges Im
posed by said company and that a dlvi
dead of twenty per cent had been de
clared and made by the company during
the last two years, we were naturally
curlous to know whether the city had
not receive a handsome contribution
from so promising a source of revenue.
On inquiry at the Treasurer's office
we were much surprised to discover
that during the last quarter, which
embraces the largest receipts and
storage of sugar and molasses
since the establishment of this com
pany, the city's share of the income
was only $3100 04, and that for the year
1870 it was only $1.330 73. This appeared
to be a very small contribution or tax to
be paid by a company with a capital of
l180,000. upon which they made a dl
ridend of twenty per cent. Twenty per
aent on a capital of $180,000 would give
i gross receipt of $10,000, ten per cent
)f which ought to give the city $3000.
But since the expenses and interest are
Jeducted before a divldend is made we
;ake it for granted that the gross re
3eipts were much larger.
Whether the whole capital has been
paid up and expended in the buildings
of the company we are not Informed,
But as the stock, at the commencement
and before the expenses wore incurred,
was held at twenty cents on the dollar,
and Is now held at ninety-eight, we
presume that the stock must havd been
paid up and applied to the construction
of the buildings, etc. if it has not been
so paid up and the company has as
sumed,the debt, of course the gross ro
oeipts will be debited with the interest
on the amountthus due. Still, after pay
ing the city its ton per cent charge for
the use of the property, on this as
sumption that the company owes for
the sheds, the income of the city ought
to be much larger, and as the city
has the reversion of this property
at the expiration of twenty-five years,
upon payment of half its appraised
value, it has an interest in asoer
taining whether the cost of erecting the
buildings has boon paid. But even
with this, and the payment of the ton
per cent of the gross receipts, the
amount appears to bIoa very small bonus
to be paid to the city for the exorcise of
so largo and valuable a privilege of leas
ing the commerce of the city-oepecially
since the right to impose and collect
such a tax has boon denied to the Btate
by a decision of our Supremo Court and
by an oact of the Logislature of 181:3,
which is still in force.
In a precisely similar case the Hoc
ond Municipality claimed such a right
and passed an ordinance in 1843 provid
ing for the collection of a tax on every
bale of cotton and hogshead of sugar
and box of merchandise, landed on the
wharves or levee. The Supreme Court,
in the suit of Worsley vs. The Hecond
Muniolpality, 9 Robinson 337, expressed
the following opinion :
.LUI' 1i U WtH t&M L t LUItllIAtiLtablu1 1VL
the use o the wharves in the shape of
a tax upon goods and produce landed in
the city, rests upon Implication and
slnae the passage of the act of March
30, 1843, to define the powers of the Cor
poration of the City of New Orleans
by which the collection thereafter of
such tax, duty or charge is forbidden,
thereby giving a legislative construction
to the different laws relating to the
subject, must be considered as no longer
existing."
If the city had no right to impose
such tax or charge, could it Invest a cor
poration with that right? And why
should the city make itself a party to
such an oppressive and illegal imposi
tion and share the same? Nay, more
than this, why should it allow the com
pany, under its sanction, to collect an
even larger tax than, according to its
charter, it is entitled to charge ?
This is the subject of a complaint
made by nearly all of the parties inter
ested in one of the most valuable trades
of our city and by the producers in the
country of the most valuable product of
our State. In their behalf and in con
demnation of such practices it behooves
the reform party of this State and it is
certainly our duty as public journalists
to demand that this memorial receive
the prompt and favorable consideration
of our city authorities.
