IL Is source oil constant complaint that there is
not sufficient active capital in New Orleans That
this leads to excessive interest and expensive sys
TENSE OF transactng business. This fact is attribu
table to various causes; one, undoubtedly, that
men leave here the moment they have accumulated
wealth, or even competency. Instead of using the
means accumulated here for the increase of the
Then business in the city, they are drawn away by
the advantages of health and pleasure which other
| cities present. But in spite of many counteractng
causes, New Orleans is improving, both in a sani-
tory and moral condition. More of the ponula,;on
is becoming permanent Still there are causes vet
operating to its injury, which rest with the Lepis-
'ature to remove. The capitalist who wishes to
lend money, seeks for security as well as profit.
Now, the laws of Louisiana so cucumber real es
tate with hidden liens and mortgages, that it is
next to impossible to ascertain whether it is safe to
lend money on particular property. Instead of
learning the actual condition by the inspection of the
mortgage office, is necessary to ascertain whether
any one OF the owners has ever been a married man.
or guardian, or held public Office For the law
gives to the wife, the child the ward and the State
a taclt lien on the real estate of the debtor and
winch exists without register or notice of any kind
IL IS only matter OF surprise that capitalists are
"iiins ~ ioah money on any terms, when the
curityis of such uncertain character. No wonder
they are not content with per cent interest, while
many take usurous interest, or, unwilling to lend
on such security, seek investments in other States
Then again. another serious objection is the mode
OF dlsposing OF mortgage debts. If debtor dies,
or fails, the mortgaged property is sold free from
the mortgage and the creditor loses the lien
secured him by his contract, and can only look to
the price, which perhaps is all eaten up with priv
legged debts, contracted subsequent to his own.
In the other States, credi tor mortgage is en-.
t'rey under his control. The property subject TO
IT. may change ownership by SALE or death, or in
soiVency, but the security of the creditor is in no
oegree changed; his mortgage still exists. No
aeot oil subsequent creation can supersede il. Our
iaw on the contrary, often deprives the creditor of
'his security, which consequently offers less in
ducement to the capitalist to loan on MORTGAGE
we ought to abolish all these hidden liens ,vhiob
render titles so insecure and we should alter Tho
laws in regard to the hts of creditors 90 ,b,,
mortgage may really be what it purports to he an
actual pledge, defeasble only on the pavmen, Of
the debt. We shall recur to this subject more At

HARD TAsK.-The New York Courier, Of
the 18th instant, devoted nine columns of that
mammoth sheet to the task of showing that Kos
suth and his associates are entitled to none of our
sympathes, and but little OF our respect" The
difficulty of this task may be inferred from the
length of the article. The Courier thinks that
twenty-seven points clearly demonstrated in its
argument, the last of which is
" That as a republican and a Christian people
we have to rejoice in the fall of Kossuth
and should give thanks to the Almighty Ruler o
the Universe, that through that Providental event
he has gracously liberated from bondage nine mil
lions of the Sclavonic race, and bestowed upon

JOHN WEsLEY.-The Westminster Review fo,
January, in its able and brilliant article on the
Battle of the Churches" speaks of Wesley as
follows
Some century and quarter ago John Wesley
was Fellow of Lincoln College and Greek lecturer

SELF from ths progate habits of the place he took
to heart the appeals of Laws Serious CALI and
resolved 10 live with the invisible realities which
with others ,erved but for a stately dream or a
mocking jest. In the cold midnight, beneath the
truthful sky, he struggled for faith worthy of SO
great sight He prayed without ceasing he
tasted In secret he passed the mystery on from his
own heart to the souls of others and led the
sanity life with less offence to creed and prejudice
than a. most any devotee in history. The son of a
hgh church rector, he could not be charged with
unsacrameatal doctrine, nonconformist svmpa-
thes; he denied the Christian baptism of dissent
ers, and drove them from the communion as unre-
GENERATE He duly provided his spirit of self-sacr-
1ce by pre;erring mission to the Indians of
Georgia, to parochial provision at home, and the
fraternity of the poor Hernnhuter to the aristo-
cratic priesthood of England. The sequel is well
known; how he took up the labors, while others
boasted OF the privileges, of aposeship civilized
whole countries; lifted brutal populations into
communities of orderly citizens and consistent
Christians; and in grandeur of missionary achieve
ment, rivalled the most splendid successes of
Chrisendom"
