greater dimensions by the enumeration of other and
scarcely less important works, in the way of bridg
ing levee,improving, wharfbulding, dtching, plank
ing of roads, crossways, erection of public buildings
extension and repair of markets, ETC., now in pro
gress, but, as it is, it sufficiently shows that the
present administration is most emphatically work
ing government vigilant and closely devoted tc
public interests-more markedly so than any prece
ding administration. Not the least among its great
measures is that which provides at an early day. fol
an abundant supply of water for cleansing the city
and guarding against destructive contlagrations.
Though all such schemes of improvement involve a
vast outlay of money the charge of reckless expend
ture cannot be brought against administration as
discreet as it is liberal, for during its management
the citys Indebtedness has been diminished, and the
rates of taxation decreased. Careful without being
nggardly, watchful, well posted, and acting evel
with a good discretion, the strings of the public
purse have never been looscd drawn with impro
priety or carelessness, and the citizens of New Or.
leans may not hope to have their interests in
charge of an administration more wisely economical
and wisely LIBERAL more temperate, yet energetic and
progressive, more competent and industrious, than
the present, the policy of which will be carried out
by the nominees of the same complexion, Who are
doubt not, in obedience to the expression of the
peoples will on Monday, to take their places as men,
