The opponents of 5 the scheme to grant Government aid to the confitrnction of the Texas and Pacific Railway have recent-, developed new argament. Their proposition is that the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific Railroads will eventually become, to a considerable extent, the property of the Government, and that therefore it will be proper for the Government to protect its future controlling interest in the monopoly by refusing assistance to a Southern competing line. This is the argument which the New York Times brings forward, in order to obstruct, as far as it can, tbe effort to aid in the development of the section to which it is so bitterly hostile.

The Times thinks that the $91,000,000, principal and accrued interest, which the Pacific railroads owe to the Government will never be pnid. It does not tell us what the ring is now controlling these roads is doing with its enormous earnings. But it thinks that the hope that the United States will cancel its claim, iiuay as well be dismissed and con-dudes, no doubt on the best authority, that when the Government claim comes due, the only way to satisfy 'it will be to take, possession of the 'roads to the the claim. Under these circumstances the Times intimates that the United States Government, like a prudent capitalist, 02 a shrewd stock speculator, must be caieful of giving assistance to any line which might compete with the present monopoly. It suggests that if the people of the South and West could have a road across continent, the latter would 'attract trade land commerce, and by diverting pome of the profits from, the other, line, might affect the pecuniary "interest" of the "Government," and depreciate the market value of its present railway shares.

What motive," cries the Times, "has the Gov-' eminent to create with its own funds a new line to destroy or impair the value of what is virtually its own property?" This is certainly a novel and peculiar theory to bring before a pernio living under a constitutional repub-' die. To as 8umef the. existence of a "government" operating in rail-, roads for pecuniary profit, and. exercising the discretion of maintaining monopolies and diseriminatLng between different sections of the country in order to make its investments pay demands a stretch of the imagination which carries us at once to absolute despotism. Most of the European Governments build and con-(tiol their railroads.

But it would be a very despotic government indeed, even among the monarchies of the Old World, which, after advancing large amounts to develop one half of its territory, would openly refuse all assistance to the other half, on the ground that it might be encouraging competition with the enterprise in which the Government had invested its money. But, strange as this doctrine may appear to the great' majority of the American people, it is the jetrine of the ring of jobbers and monopolists whose interest the Now York Times represents in opposing the Texas and Pacific Railroad. It is a notion which ought to be en-tiiely foreign to the institutions of this country. It would be utterly repudiated by nine-tents of the people to-day, if it were sabniit-Ud to them. The principle announced is so utterly vicious and so entirely hostile to the whole theory of this Government, that the wonder is that a journal making any pretensions to represent public sentiment should have the temerity to advocate it.

Nevertheless, it does represent the politics of the great combination which is fighting to maintain the 'Jay Gould monopoly. This is the only theory of "government which they have. The job was first carried through a corrupt Congress by making it to the "interest of some of the members to support it. The latter were bribed with the bonds which they voted, and thus became "interested" in their "own property." So, now, this same powerful, unscrupulous ring would have the people believe that it is to the interest" of their Government to protect what will be its own property by continuing to discriminate in favor of the monopoly. The idea is the same throughout.

They would have the legislation of the country fashioned after the notion of a Wall street speculator. They would make the seat of government at Washington a mere stockjobbing office. This powerful organization has it3 ramifications throughout the country. It controls influential and powerful It maintains a formidable lobby influence at Washington. It combines the selfish caution "which is natural to large accumulated capital with great political influence, and the unscrupulous use of the means necessary to attain its ends.

It will never cease in its efforts to engraft its vicious notions upon the public mind and upon the Administration of the Government, so long as there is hope that its money, may be used for that purpose." This is the character of the powerful railroad combination which is op posing the extension of "the Texas and Pacific. The corporations which control the lines are strengthened; of course, by the jealousies of the commercial communities to which this great monopoly contributes. New York, for instance, clamors against Government assist ance to the Southern line, because it fears tbe latter might help the trade of Philadelphia. i The Jay Gould monopoly. and its advocates mistake the present temper of the people if they imagine that appeahYof the kind above alluded to are likely to prejudice the movement in.

XaTor of the Texas Pacific. There are some lessons they have to learn now that the country is getting tree of their corrupt influence. Among these are 1. That the Government" belongs to the people, and is nothing more than the agent of the people of the whole country: and that therefore the idea of keeping, up a great monopoly in one section at the expense of the others, merely as an investment, is a palpable absurdity. 2.

The Government" is not entirely absorbed by the Jay Gould line and its appendages, and the cities to whose commerce it contributes; and it will be possible for the to assist in the development of another section of the country without self-destruction. Competition in the South will not ruin the country. 3. The people of the States, the masters of the Government," do not understand that the bonds pledged for the Pacific railroads were intended as an investment for pecuniary profit. There was a great deal of money squandered and thrown away by a corrupt Congress, but the people do not admit that the Government is a speculator in the transaction, and bound to bull the value of its contingent interest by subjecting the rest of the country to this monopoly.

The Representatives of the people, or the majority of them at least, will not be influenced by these stock jobbing considerations. And so the New York Times' and its coadjutors will find, when Congress assembles. ON THE RIO GRANDE. President Diaz seems determined not to be less patriotic and indignant than his competitors, in his protests against the instructions given by the United States Government to Gen. Old.

Senors Iglesias and Lerdo, as dejure Presidents of Mexico, have both publicly condemned the attitude of this Government, The de facto President is evidently resolved hot to be outdone in resenting1 what he seems to consider an-indignity to his country. He accordingly, instructs' Gen. Tre-vino to repel force-with force, should the United States troops cross the border. "And now, continuing his resentful attitude, he orders that officer to withdraw from a pacific agreement which he had made with Ord for co-operation in suppressing Hie cattle thefts. In taking this position, Diaz incurs the responsibility for tie consequences of the raids made into Texas from Mexico.

'It is not to be presumed that the United States will change the policy already announced. The troops are to stop the stealing and follow the thieves wherever they go. That is the surest guarantee of protection to the border. It is hoped that the Mexican Government will be able to prevent any incursions from that side of the river. That would be the most satisfactory solution of the difficulty.

But if it should fail to do so, and should then undertake to interfere with United States troops pursuing the robbers, of course Mr. Diaz will have to take the consequences. The Washington Administration has at last taken the stand which ought to have been taken some years ago. It would be mere weakness to recede from it now. The property of citizens must be protected.

The thieves must, be suppressed. If it should become necessary to maintain the policy of force, there would be no difficulty about supplying Gen. Ord with men enough. The Other Bide. Mad Well-t's Ietter tm the New Vork Herald KepUed 7t-DUtrlct AUorney Finney Has Word mr Twm to Hay.

Tbe following open letter was telegraphed to the New York Herald last night: New Orleans, July 15, 1877. -To the Editor ol the New Vork Herald Sir lbeg leave to ask space in yonr naper to insert the following, in reply to a Jetter which appears in the New Orleans Democrat of this date, signed by J. Madison Wells, and addressed to you, ir regard to the prosecution recently in-m ituted against the members of the late Board of Returning Officers of this State. Notwithstanding the many, and 1 am forced to say, Billy reports which have been circulated throughout the country as to the motive which actuates this prosecution, I have made up my mirtd neither to deny nor approve any of them. I do not think it well, however, to allow this communication to pass unnoticed.

It is true that Mr. Wells and his colleagues of the Returning Board are not being prosecuted for perjury and forgery, but for "uttering and publishing as true a certain altered, false, forged and counterfeited public record," this pubMe record being the original returns of the election held on the 7 th of November. 1876, in the parish of Vernon, an entirely distinct oftense, but which is punishable in the same way and to the ea me extent. It is equally true that Mr. Wells and his fellows are not prosecuted upon the basis of an indictment or true bill found by the Grand Jury of "this parish, but Tipon an information hied by me as DLs-District Attorney, upon the following recommendation, viz Grakd Jm boom, 1 New Orleans, one 27, 1877.

Joict Jl. O-Bbikn. i Iremanof Grand This was handed to me on the date ot its writing, and as soon as possible thereafter. I prepared, and on the 5th of uiy following! hied the information upon which. J.

Madison Wells and his colleague must appear before tbe Superior Criminal Court for the parish of Orleans for trial. Aa to the delay in filing this Information, Welle and his associates are more to blame than anybody else they and their creatures refused to reoornizsthe court its officers and the Grand Inquest of this the inrestiffation waa first becun. and it is bat now, when tbe authority of the State officials is no longer denied or disputed, that J. Madison Wells and his accused brothers, so so far submit, well knowing, perhaps, the futility of resistance, as to reeogauss capias placed in the hands ox oar Criminal 6her.fi' for execution. Unlike the late Returning Board, of which J.

Mad. Wells was the presiding officer, the Superior Criminal Court for the parish of Orleans keeps no "secret and as the late President of the defunct Returning Board well knows, his counsel was well aware of tbe time when the information whloh causes so much, trouble waa to be filed, and it may be that Mr. Wells did not take advantage of this knowledge. I may take this opportunity to say that, as far as I know, no one connected with either of the late contesting political parties in this State have had the least concern or influence in the procuring of this prosecution. My "method and design" in this is simply to bring guilty men to justice, as 1 have sworn to do, and none shall escape punishment if I oan prevent it, and particularly for the perpetration of such high crimes as J.

Mad. Wells and his acccsed fellows are charge! with. Very respectfully. John -J. Finnky, District Attorney of First Jadioial District of Louisiana.

Packard is not such a lion in the Northwest as the icnooent may be inclined to believe, vide this extract from a letter to a prominent official, dated Madison. Wisconsin, July 12: Packard left this city yesterday. His presence eaused no excitement.

A few of tbe faithful only called to see him. The people generally re willing to let Mr. Hayes serve out his term quietly." The Board of Health is taking steps to enforce the quarantine regulations at the Bigoleta Station, and shipmasters who violate the regulations will be promptly visited with the penalties provided for by law. It seems that the schooner Concordia, from Bay St. Louis, pemsts in passing the Kigoleti without giving the resident physician an opportunity to board her.

The investigation into the affairs of the Land Office gives promise of inter eetmg developments, not that it is expected to discover any startling frauds, but it will be found that a considerable amount of money has. been misspent. Mr. Hugh J. Campbell, ex-Register, testified that (5000 had been paid to two clerks to prepare tract books.

The expert then said that the work ceuld have been done for $1000, but that it should have been performed by the clerks as a part of their duties. The laws passed by Congress and by the State in regard to the entry of overflowed and swamp lands are oensidered very faulty, and their operation detrimental to the interests of the 8tate. By the aid of a simple affidavit dishonest parties are able to acquire possession of valuable lands, and the Register is sheltered by the affidavits. In a conversation with the Governor yesterday, he. incidentally remarked that he considered the Times had very gravely aspersed the character of the Sheriff of Calcasieu in stating that it was rumored that there was a premeditated design to allow to escape from his hands, or to defeat the execution of the law.

The Executive states that he has made up his mind as to the execution of Guidry. Regarding the threat of Mr. Delahous-eaje, et. als of St. Martin, claiming to be elected to certain offices and expressing a determination to combat force with force in the event of appointments, the Governor feels quite easy.

He considers the threat a mere piece of harmless swagger, and if occasion arises will appoint without fear of conflict. At the present time, however, the matter is in court, and until a decision is arrived at no particular action will be taken. Ben Barkery. He la In Jail A -pi In for Flaylag a Cnl dence Game One of KeUoaT The police Sunday night succeeded in ai resting Ben Berkery, the notorious confidence man and thief, who was tried, convicted and sentenced to serve several terms in the Penitentiary, about a year ago. for playing the confidence game on C.

Ballejo, Hart and many others; also of having forged the- name of lilt jo. Ben was pardoned by Gov. Kellogg net before his term of office expired, and frr about a month he kept pretty quiet. After that he commenced his old trioks again, and is now in prison for victim-iz'ng various parties, from Carrollton to the Barracks, of small amounts of money. His last game was worked in this way He would enter a store with a whip in his hand and ask the proprietor to lend him one or two dollars, passing himself off as the driver for Mr." Joseph Sck wartz.

He would represent to them -that his wagon broke down two squares away and that he was broke and needed the money to pay the blacksmith for some little repairs. In each and every case he would give them a receipt and sign some fictitious name, and before leaving the place he would promise positively to return in the morning and hand them back the money. Ben has called on a great many, and not one of them can say that he ever showed up again. A great many of them sent their orders around to Mr. Schwartz and learned that the name of the party signing the orders was not in their employ, and that no accident nad occurred to any of his wagons.

Ban, in conversation with Malone. said that he was caref ol this last time about the Ty he worked, and had made It a point- not to do anything that would bring him before Judge Whitaker's court, aa he was satisfied that it he was tried there, he would get the foil extent of the law, and go to Baton Rouge. -i Several parties have already made, complaints against Ben. and when. tne fact of his arrest is known, manv more will come forward and prefer additisnal charges against him.

On the nth mat. a. ruffian attempted an outrage on the person of a highly respected married lady living near Tangipahoa, and waa only frustrated by tho timely intervention of third party and the Jodicious us of a fence tail by the lady.

The latter waa considerably bruised in the melee, and suffered afterwards from great nervous excitement. The ruffian was a married and his wife procured tickets for herself and her precious husband for Chicago. She took the train on the 12th at Tangipahoa, intending to meet her husband at Osyka, but the citizens in the surrounding country were by this time aroused, and caught the fellow before he reached the station. Ha was seated upon a horse and bound, and then taken into the woods, where he probably met with a sudden and tragic end. Firemen's "Repair Shop.

Recently the Board of Delegates of the Firemen's Charitable Association appointed a committee consider the practicability of carrying on a general repair shop, where all the work required by the department should be done. The annual repor( of Chief Engineer O'Connor, for tbe year 1S7S, contains the fob lowing paragraph relating to this sab ject: Among the conveniences which we most need, and which I would recommend, is a repair shop, where all work required by the department may be done under some as to workmanship, the promptness with ifhloh it could be done, and its cost. It would result in a saving of at least sixty per so, too, aa to fuel. I am aware that at t'mes extortionate prices are charged for fuel. By suoh a system of supply, companies can get their fuel at a great saving of cost.

A yard, furnished as other yards, by the boat load, would secure this important reloim. In the cost of hose, too, a gieat saving would be assured oy 'providing our houses with towers for drying hose, or with regular hose racks, which would accomplish great saving in the ultimate cost of hose. It is probable that the committee will report in favor of some method of carry ing out this plan. Personal. Mr.
