The New Departure.
The New York Sun, in reviewing
•a suggestion coining from Louisiana,
“ that in order to carry out more suc
cessfully certain so called Southern
measures, like the Texas Pacific Rail
road and large government appropri
ations for other internal improve
ments, the South will unite with Ad
ministration Republicans in defeating
Mr. Randall for the Speakership of
the next House of Representatives,
because he is a picayune economist
and opposed to big appropriations,
and for the formation of a new party
to he known as the Republican-Whig
party,’’ remarks as follows :
“ But there are several reasons why
ihe plan will fail. In the first place,
the Texas Pacific is to be the entering
wedge. It is the golden hook with
which the Hayes Commission has
angled in the dirty political puddle
at New Orleans. Now, the Texas
Pacific asks twice as much as is ne
cessary to build the road. It offers
ns security for the loan ofGovcrninent
credit a title which lias nothing to rest
upon but one of Joe Bradley’s in
famous decrees, which will never
stand review in the Supreme Court.
It is not in reality a Southern enter
prise, and is intended to heiirlit only
a far-off corner of the Southern coun
try. Its through freights will pass
north over th^ Pennsylvania lines,
and the growth of Southern ports and
Southern commerce, which Col. Scott
is fond of depicting in glowing lan
guage, will never be realized through
its agency. It is to he built by a
Ring of Northern men, who will
pocket all there is of it of ip it, amj
'' Mp-
tnit Mr. Randall to he struck down
because he has been the most rigid
and persistent economist in the Dem
ocratic House, nor because he has
opposed, and still opposes, the
schemes of public plunder which the
fraudulent President has now taken
under his wing. He may he beaten,
but not on that ground. The party
which should, oppose, or the. party
which should abandon a conspicuous
arid faithful leader for ffiht reason,
would be doing that which no party
can afford in the present state of the
public mind. We use Mr. Randall’s
name only by way of illustration.
Substitute another, it another there
be, equally identified with the policy
of retrenchment and reform, and the
argument is quite as sound.

The History of a I.ausnil Involving Part of the City
of New Orleans.
New York World.]
A dispatch from New Orleans an
nounces that Judge Billings, of the
United States District, Court, at that
place, has rendered a decision in the
case of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, who
claims several million dollars’ worth
of property in that city, in favor of
tjiejdaimant. Tips ijji phafe of one
of the longest and most interesting
lawsuits in the annals of American
jurisprudence. The history of the
case is briefly as follows: Mrs.
Gaines is the widow of General
Edmund Pendleton Gaines, and was
horn in New Orleans in 1805. Her
faJier Daniel Clark, was born in the
county Sligo, Ireland, in 1766, and,
emigratiugjto.N^w Orleans, inherited
Ip oonsbtijxljjc - property * from lji:
nmclc ip 1760* tiefory *tl$;, acquisi
tion of Louisiana he was an American
consul there, ami represented the
territory in Congress in 1806 In
August, 1813, Daniel Clark died, and
bis property was disposed of under
will dated May 20, 1811, which gave
the hulk of his estate to his mother,
Mary Clark, who was then living in
. Germantown, Penn, lie was also
which can never succeed? What j :l b.lvhc'qr, but wa^
shall tliov gain by the sacrifice of p , : 0 " n to have a'liaison with a ve'ry
well
all the United Staid mil
cr to give it. Thcle facts (tire
understood in the South, and not one*
half the Southern Rpresentatives ever
were or ever will he in favor <>f Col.
Scott’s bili. Why, then, should the
men of Louisiana or of Texas desert
a party which has so long covered
them with its broad shield, and lias
at length rescued them from carpet
bag tvrannv, for the sake of a measure
or testified that Zulime des Granges
was privately married to Clark in
their presence in Philadelphia in 1803
by a Catholic priest, it having been
learned that Zitlmc’s reputed hus
band, des Granges, had another wife
living, and was, therefore, not legally
m arried. In another suit growing
out of this difficulty the United States
Supreme Court decided that the mar
riage and legi itnacy of Myra was es
tablished.
In the meanwhile Mr. Whitney
died, and his widow married General
Gaines, whom she also outlived. As
sisted by the General, Mrs. Gaines
continued her litigation, and in 1856,
in the supreme court of the United
States, filed a bill in equity to re
cover valuable real estate, then in
the possession of the city of New
Orleans, and a decision in her favor
was rendered in 1867. The value of
the property claimed was estimated
in 1861 at $35,000,000, of which Mrs.
Games had up to 187 4 obtained pos
session of some 86,000,000. Numer
ous actions of ejectment against indi
vidual parties having followed, and it
is no doubt one of these that Judge
Billings has now decided in Mrs.
Gaines’ favor.
The heroine of this romatie story
a little black-eyed lady of over
seventy, who still retains traces < f
fotnuer beauty. She is well educa
ted, quick, and courageous. Her
long and varied experience in the law
courts have given her a legal educa
tion of no mean character. On sev
eral occasions, and notably in she
Supreme Court of the United States
in 1861, she has pleaded her own

'"In t lie third place, no politician in
his senses will attempt to break from
tiie leadership of Sam Randall,
"r try to overthrow the Democratic
"iganizaiion, because the reforms and
I made by Clark in 1813, just before
his death giving all his large estate to
■ Myra, and acknowledging her as his
! legitimate daughter. Mr. and Mrs.
Whitney went i rmediately to Cuba,
and there, alter a long .search, diseov-
j cred the writer of the letter, and,
j with the aid of evidence given by
economies instituted in flic last Con-1 him, began suit in New Orleans for
gress and promised at the next make i the property of Daniel Clark, which

expenditures accomplished by the late
House under Mr. Randall’s indefat'g-
al>le leadership does not appear to the
suffering tax-payer like a picayune
affair at all. Forty millions per an
num is a saving which sends a thrill
of hope through the hearts of a people
who have been staggering under a
load of hopeless debt of one kind and
another.
“ The party- which has done this
and promises more, will not be ex
changed for the party which proposes
to turn the public revenue into pri
vate pockets; to mortgage the future
to the extent of thousands of millions
for the benefit of men like Col. Scott
and Mr. Huntington; to swell appro
priations, and launch a corrupt and
reckless Government in a period of
general prostration and popular suf-
fer.ng. Public opinion will not per-

great part of the present business
quarter of the city. On the trial of
this lawsuit the Mrs. Harper above
mentioned testified that four weeks
before his death, Clark showed her
the will he had made in favor of
Myra, and acknowledged the child’s
legitimacy, liarnn de Boistotaine
testified that Clark had made the
same statements to him. On tills
and other corroborative evidence, the
lost will was received by the Su
preme Court of Louisiana on Febru
ary 18, 1856, as the lust will and tes
tament of Deniel Clark, though the
document itself could not be found.
The objection was then interposed
that by the tows of Louisiana a testa
tor could not make devises to his
adulterine bastard. On this point
