New Orleans Draining Company.

The Neworeans Draining Company is truly public
institution and not body Of private spectators ncor
porated for profit Its stock amounted originally to
s5300O of which $3.50 900 held by the city $4,000 by
the State and only $4,000 by private subscribers divided
among forty stockholders No dividend has
ceiyed by the stockholders According to the amended
charter Of 1889 the company authorized to drain the
rear OF the city by sections and recover from the PRO
pretors Of the drained land more than the amount ae
tuay spent by it of which strict account has been
kept with interest.
The Draining Company has lately filed in the Third
District Court sbleau Of assessment to which opposi
tions have been made and it is the court to decide
whether the amount claimed has been actually expended
judiciously employed aud properly assessed,
The great benefit Of which the operations of the COM
psny have been to the public is well known Such how
ever is the sefsacrcug and public spirited character
Of its charter that the company can get back the
entire principal of its capital still less any profit But
even the recovery OF portion of its capital now re.
sisted by Legitimate means
Messrs. D. IL Durell and P. C. Wright the agents of
the New Orleans Navigation Company have bought
large extent Of property in the drained district formerly
belonging to the heirs OF Chaon and to Nine de Pom.

II the assessment in favor OF the Draining Company

dres the Draining Company to abandon its claim upon
the property to the extent of seventh nnths But then
the question would arise whether the citizens large
should be made to pay for the improvement of certain in

the city without any special tax upon the drained lands

the remaining swamps in the of the city without

entitled An act to Incorporate the New Orleans and

The Company never would go into operation

the Council by MeFsrs Durel and Wright, the LIST Of
last March, by which these gentlemen offered to under
take the draining of the rear of the pres
ent drained district at certain price per square yard

CHARITY IN ST. LouIs-Two hundred persons
IN st. Louis have signed petition to the County
Court, praying that body to rescind the order
made at the late term appropristing $50, 900 to
the House of the Friendless. The principal rea,
sons set forth are, that the experiment for allie
waiting, by this means, the distresses of the
friendiess' is untried in that community, and
works of public improvement of paramount i'm
portance require the application Of all spare
funds. We are gratifed to perceive that t,ro
hundred only, out of a population of near one
hundred thousand souls entertain such unchar-
table notions

way satisfied with the performance; with but
slight head of steam and making only eleven
evolutons in minute she accomplished ten and

ted she will make seventeen evolutions to the
minute, which will send her along considerably
faster than any boat that ever TUNED wheel
