Tho Ayss ana Noes,

When rightly understood, II is doubtless a
wise admonition, that, in the New Testament,
"Let your communications be yea, yea, and
nay, nay;p but still IL is evident that good
deal mere yeaing and naying may be done
than is necessary, or even expedient; that
yeaing and naying, when done out of order,
is no better than vain babble and impertin-
ence. ,sp at -...ss 4-- J-l p
To apply these remarks There is some
body, or several Somebodies in the City
Council who, for some purpose, il is difficult
to guess what, unless to get their names as
many times upon the record as possible, oc-
cupy themselves and delay the progress Of
business by calling for poll of the members
upon every question that arises.
No matter how trivial or merely formal
the proposition, and indeed, it would seem
especially upon the trivial and formal ones
as the acceptance of communication from
the Mayor, or the report of an executive
officer, or to commit, or to adjourn, or to ex-
cuse member from serving on acommittee;
our somebody or somebodies Immediately pro-
ceed to signalize their knowledge of parlia-
mentary usage by-"The ayes and noes, Mr..
President" and business stops until they
have put ON record for the benefit of posterity
their vote in the weighty issue. 1o''
This is very shallow, indeed. The right to
demand poll should not be denied to any
member, for il is an important one, and in all
questions of consequence and especially
where money is appropriated or debts created,
the state of the vote should be matter of
record. But if the right to demand poll
should not be denied, it should also not be
abused; and he who is perpetually demanding
it upon trivial occasions, so far from perform
ing any valuable public service thereby, ac-
tually does misunderstanding the efficiency
Of that which was intended to op crate as a
check upon those who would otherwise seek
to postpone the public interest to their own.

TERRIBLE AFFRAY NEAR New ORLEANS
THREE MEN KILLED AND THREE WoUNDED.-
Tuesdays New Orleans Picdyune has the fol-
lowing:
A fight of the most bloody kind took place
on Saturday afternoon, at Proctorville, Lake
Borgne, resulting in the death of three men.
The fishing grounds there are nearly alto
gether monopolized by Spanish fishermen,
who form sort of clan, and generally man
age to run out all the other fishermen. There
are also at present some Cinnamon, or Ma
lays, as they are indifferently called-or,
more properly, natives of Manilla-between
whom and the Spaniards some jealousy exists.
Last Saturday one of the Manil1ians got into
difficulty with Spanish barkeeper named
Ramon, and struck him blow, whereupon
several of the Spanish fishermen took part
against the Manillian, who drew a long knife
from his belt, and, as his assaiants rushed
upon him, buried It in the breast of the first
one, who fell dead. He kept backing out
toward the lake shore, still fighting and
wounded two more of the Spaniards. Some
of his countrymen then came up and pro-
tected his flight, and he ran into the lake
with the hope of reaching a boat, when one
of his pursuers fred at him with a gun and
| shot him dead.
The Coroner held an inquest on the body
| of the dead Spaniard, and returned verdict
of killed by some person unknown; the Other
wounded man, Augustin Felin, was brough
| to the city in the first train of cars anC
conveyed to the Hospital, where he dice
yesterday.

there are certain acts, not strictly Of d party
character, which an old and perhaps vulgar
prejudice requires them to perform, among
which is to see that the sewers of the city are

during an entire season In consequence, an
impediment of which pnce filling should be

Negligence Of the City Commissioner.
Eronn oil aecountu thara annaara IN he liffl

From all accounts there appears to be little
reason TO doubt that the City Commission
ers have been culpably remiss in the dis
charge of their duties in respect to drainage,
in consequence of which the city has become
involved in a large aggregate of expense.
Numerous claims are being made for the
payment of damages occasioned by the
stoppage of sewers and water-courses, and
this after the occurrence Of repeated storms
had shown what was to be apprehended, in
case the obstacles were not removed. As
our City Commissioners, like our other
officials, are doubtless chosen in considera-
ton of their political, rather than their
businessquali6ca some allowance is due
perhaps, TO the fact that we have been for
some weeks engaged in the preliminary agita-
tions of Presidential campaign, wherein
the Commissioners have doubtless had theil
full share Of service TO perform.

supposed to have originated from spontaneous
combustion in the wool. The building was
of wood and three stories high.

ROGER A. Pryor DEFINES HIS POSITION.
Hon. Roger A. Pryor has been defining
his position at Petersburg, Va. The Express
says:
His support of the Seceders, as they were
styled, was based upon principle and con-
sistency. His action was in unison with the
voice of the South, and to be with the South,
under any and all circumstances, was his
greatest pride and his most determined aim
With every Southern Democratic Senator ex-
cept one; with every Democratic Representa-
tive from Virginia, except one; and with
every Southern State as represented in the
National Convention, standing firmly by the
standard of Breckenridge and Lane, witt
none but Northern Democrats, hostile il
sentiment and insulting in their conduct t.
the South, stood by the Douglas flag, how
could he have done otherwise, unless recrean
to his own land and his own people? Mr.
Pryor discussed the question at considerable
length, with perspicuity and force, and wa.
| repeatedly applauded.

A Faithful Executive, but short Of Wind.
An acquaintance of ours tells an amusing
story of race which he had the good luck
to witness between our worthy Mayor, in
proprid persona, and a peripatetic dealer in
periodical literature, to wit: news-boy on a
recent Sabbath-day morning. The urchin,
either from the force of habit, OF not having
the fear of Mayoral proclamations vividly
before his eyes, and not, probably, dreaming
that he was in the awful vicinity of ordained
authority, was so unlucky as to emit, in a
tone considerably above his breath, the
declaration, Here's yer Sunday morning
Enquirer and Press, only ha-af dime;
when suddenly
His Honor, heard, saw and felt at once the
insult offered to his dignity, and the foul
blow aimed at his authority. Swift as &
thought, the Mayor picked up his heels anC

aroused culprit fed Run Mayorl for on thy

NEW BOOKS.

OF TRAyEL III ASIA AND XFhfSh. by
Brothers. Cincinnati: Hickey, Mallory 4 Co.
This is translation of work published at Paris
last summer by the title of "The Mysteries Of the
Desert" 1t is the work of a romantic parsonage,
and is written with the vivacity which is 80 marked
a characteristic Of French books. Colonel Du Couret
had passion for travel, and at the age of twenty
four he embarked for the East. After soiourn at
Constantinople, he went to Egypt entered the serv
ice of Mehenlet Ali, and afterward pursued his ad-
ventures to Central Africa where he discovered the
most remarkable fact that has ever been developed,
connected with the physiology Of the human race
the existence of the Mann Mans, or men with tails,
of which he produced evidences satisfactory TO the
scientific bodies of Paris,
The absence Of this connecting link has been
the greatest obstacle to the theory of creation
by gradual development of inferior into superior
orders. This discovery, instead of leaving tho
human race at certain point without ancestry,
traces its lineage into ancestral line Of monkeys.
In writing the biography of an eminent man, 1t is
regarded Of the first Importance that he should
be furnished with ancestry; and the greater the
eminence reached by mankind, the more they re-
| quire a noble ancestry to lean upon. 1t is only
necessary alude generally to this strong and noble
human desire. to show what gratitude is due to Col
Du Couret for furnishing the connecting link between
| our race and a noble ancestry.
After much perilous adventure in Africa, Col Du
| Couret returned to Egypt, but yielding to long
cherished desire to penetrate to Mecca, he embraced
the Mohammean faith, visited the Holy City, kissed
the black stone Of the Kaaba, honored with the
title of Hadjl thence he Travelled In ASIA and after
| aroturn to France he conducted government ex.
pedtion to the Interior Of Africa.

esting information of those gorgeous aud romantic
