TALK, ON CHANGE.


One of those stnt;up showers Of rain, which are
very prevalent in she tropics, came up yesterday
during the early part of business honrs. The flags
were for the nonce cleared most effectualiy. The
telegraphic dispatches received, yesterday had no
influences in fact, the telegraph i3 real bore"
About one dispatch in ten can be deemed as hav-
ing line Or two of truth. The city of Richmond,
as well as being the seat of Government of the
Confederate States, is grand and battles,
We can hardly enumerate the many battles, move
ments and skirmshes which have been furnished
by the industry of Richmond operators, which
never had any other foundation than fancy and
rumor.
There has been good deal of talk about the
conliscation bill; very just and proper one to
meet the robberies of Lincoln, Seward, Chase &
Co. There are many fine stores on Camp, Canal
and Poydras streets, which must come within the
meaning and intent of the law. The great igon
front stOrr, corner of Camp and Common, will
come within the law; stores corner of Bank Place
and Gravier; st9res corner of Poydras and Camp;
stores corner of Canal and Chartres the fine block
corner of Royal and Bienville, known as Romauzo
W. Montgomery's; the large warehouse on Fulton
and Front Levee streets. There will be some hard
ship in some cases. For instance, the owner of
streets resided in city from 1918 to 1885, carry
ing on his business as grocer, though he never
spent over two summer in the city, the others he
| passed in New Jersey a.d other places. For over
twenty years he has ceased to be citizen of New
| Orleans. He has son who, we believe, was born
here and educated North, but who has resided
here for many years. He is now fighting for the
Sonth, being a member of the Washington Artil-

well advanced in life, it might not be out of place
to suggest to him to divide his property anterior to
his being called hence, that the son, who is now
engaged and identified with the glorious cause OF
the South, may secure his share. There is also a
resident of Brooklyn, N. Y, formerly distn
| guished lawyer of Attakapas, who owns two valua
| ble plantatons-one sugar. 1t will alao go hard
| with him. He removed from Louisiana many years
| ago. AS the South did not cast the first stone
there cannot be any expected relief for those who
have ignored the South for years, and drawn large
sums of money from its great storehouse of wealth
and riches. True, the present state of affairs may
be and is without precedent. But the stern ant
| unbending demands of justice and retaliation re
quire the course indicated by the act Of the Con
federated Congress to be carried out to the fules
extent, and our own citizens who have suffered
by the Illegal and vile acts of the Lincoln Sewart
& Co. dynasty, be remunerated from the proceed
of the contiscated property. As the act is retros
pectve, taking effect from the 2lst of May last.
may call into question the rents paid by tenant
