a BRISK RusINEss.

We have heard g great deal about the de
cadence Of the business Of New Orleans, but in
one business she is ever surprisingly brisk, out
stripping all competitors Of naturalizing
aliens She acknowledges no equals with
ont perrin that line
We have also heard of wind-mills, and saw
mills, and grist-mills, and many other descrip-
tiops Of mills but We have no knowledge OF
mills that can employ wind to as much advan-
taee, saw timber with as much celebrity, aud
grind corn with as much rapidity, as some Of
the District Courts Of this CITY can blow, saw
and grind, foreign material into simon pure
American voters! Their achievements 20 so
far beyond precedent, that all history, tradi-
tion, earth, ocean and sky, might be searched in
vain for parallel. Therefore, we give it up.
We were told last evening (and, if there is
any mistake about the information, We shall be
prepared to rectify it, that one hundred and
more American voters were manufactured yes
terday by the District Courts principally, if
not exclusively, by the First and Fourth Dis
trict Courts
Now, we submit with all due Difference, the
question whether such grist was ever ground
out before by two anti-American mills--judi-
cial tribunalss we mean The product of their
labors is unexampled, all will admit.
But, we are treating serious subject alto
gether too lightly, and will, therefore, put a
stop upon POPULARITY. This business of natu-
ralizpg by the wholesale, under present cir
cumstances, even admitting that the power Of
the courts to naturalize at all, during recess, is
clear and unquestionabls, would be, neYerthe-
less, a matter to be deprecated and reprehended.
Judges should never unnecessarily precipitate
measures when there is every likelihood that
those very measures may lead to dsplorable con-
sequences. Especially is this the case now,
There is no honest necessity for action, for the
parties thus naturalized would lose nothing if q
postponement Of one, two or three months took
place, unless. indeed, they are anxious to real
ize, from the sale of their votes, at tile earliest
possible moment! And, when grave doubts are
entertained whether any court is invested with
power to naturalize, during vacation, and when
it is known that the law creating the First
District Court absolutely, peremptorily, and
arbitrarily confines it to the trial of criminal
causes Exclusively, then the conduct of the
principal parties concerned becomes wholly in
comprehensive.
We would respectfully suggest to our mer-
chants and property holders that they go down
to the courts and see how citizens are put
through" They may, perhaps, be induced to
open their eyes at the astonishing facility with
which their governors are created We don't
suppose the spectacle would be edifying, but we
doubt not it would be usefui-that it would
learn them q lesson they should have learned
long years ago, before the fearful avalanche
which is now about to crush them had gathered
head,
