greatest benefit as an avenue of communica-
ton. But this suggestion was based on the
idea Of a railway through the whole length Of
that street--a point which is to be settled, we
presume, either by competent legal tribunals,
or by some sort of an agreement between the
parties to the controversy.
As to the legal aspects of the position, we
have no wish to express an opinion. The
law is proverbially uncertain, and the points
involved in this case seem to be Of unusual
complexity. The Royal street protestants
evidently suppose that they can lay perma-
nent injunction on the company, whilst
Nicholson & Co., the contractors who secured
the right Of way, contend that their rights
rest on the same authority as that of the Old
Levee, and the New Levee and Tchoup1tou-
las, and the st. Charles and Carondelet street
lines. The contract of Nicholson & Go. en-
powers them to run a line down Royal street,
returning by Bourbon. Property holders on
Royal street, chiefly, we believe, in the upper
| portion of that street, have enjoined the con
tractors from proceeding with the work, and
| the latter have called the city in warranty.
We say chiefly in the upper portion " o.
Royal street, because it is believed that the
property holders and residents of the lower
! portion are mainly favorable to the enter
prise At least the commercial reasons which
seem to be insuperable in one portion, do not
/ exist in the other
| Now the question arises whether the project
at least in its main features, may not be con
summated in such a manner as to provide fol
| this needed line Of communication, without
infringing on the rights or interests Of the
people Of the commercial portion of Royal
street. a compromise which seems to assure
these objects has been proposed in the coun-
ell BY the terms Of that compromise, the
projected line, starting from Canal street,
would run down Bourbon street to st. Anne,
along St. Anne to Royal and down Royal, re-
turning to the point of departure By Dan,
phin street 1t is believed that the people o.
the streets through which this line would run
are in favor of it, at least no protest has beer
heard from them. The line would certainly
be great convenience to those portions O
the city through which it is to pass; and i
would constitute very important addition t.
our general system of street railways. W.
have No means Of knowing whether or no
this proposed compromise it acceptable to the
contractors; but, we take it for granted that
if they can accomplish their principal object
they will not insist on destroying the value 0
Royal street as a commercial avenue. If this
compromise could be effected without htiga
ton, much time and money would be saved
and much ineonvenienee would be obyiated

CITY RAILROADS AGAIN.

A few days ago we published an article on
the subject Of street railways, in which we at
tempted to show the benefit which such en-
terprises confer on community directly
by the sums which they contribute to the
city treasury in the shape of royalties, and Of
amounts saved in repairs to the. streets and
indirectly by the increased value which they
impart to real estate. It is to be regretted
that causes exist which have precluded 50 full
d development of this system in New Orleans,
IS naight have been desired. We have already
done much perhaps more, in proportion to our
population, than any other city in the eoun-
try--but controversies have arisen which have
prevented the construction of some important
lines. It was, to say the least, unfortunate
that the late city administration made a con-
tract for a railway through Royal street; as
the execution Of that contract was sure to
arouse opposition on the part Of the property
holders, and persons doing business in that
great commercial thoroug. .hfare. We have al
ready expressed our opinion on this subject
by saying that, if ifarailway is u be constructed
through Royal street, we should wish IT to be
double track Ifthat street is 10 be ruined
as commercial avenue, let it be made Of the

sTRANeE HALIUCINATIoN.

Il The New York Herald persists in discover.
ing an analogy between the position Of the
governor of Louisiana and the position o.
the governor Of Maryland; and between the
attitude of the people of this State, and the
attitude of the radical revolters of Baltimore
1t reiterates this from day to day with as much
dogmatism as if it were anything better than
sheer and unadulterated nonsense. For
instance, in its issue of the Gath it says
'The proclamation of Gov. Swami should
be followed up by similar proclamation
from the governor of Louisiana, if any resis-
tance be offered by the radical copperheads
and ex-rebels to the execution of the laws in
| that State. In both cases the leaders of the
rioters should be arrested and punished. If
every act of an executive that may happen to
displease one political faction or another is
to be held as justification for rioting and
bloodshed, the whole country will be given
over to anarchy.
Now all this sounds very fine; but it is, as
applied to the case of Louisiana, simply non
sense. The Herald is forced to admit that its
radical friends in Baltimore are acting in de-
fance of the law, and it thinks itself bound
to find an Offset, by affirming that the people
of Louisiana likewise contemplate action in
defiance of the law. 1t seems to be delight
fully and innoeently obliyious of the fact that
the governor of Louisiana is, if we may be-
heve radical statements, the party intending
to violate the law The proclamation which
the Herald advises him to issue would, in
legal sense. have no more value than one of
the Herald's editorials, or one of Barnums
showbills
Rioting and bloodshed, in resistance to
such proclamation, would be an idle super
fluffy, unless the governor should initiate the
Baltimore radicals, and call on the valiant
Butler and his ten thousand Massachusetts
braves to assist him in enforcing it. Nobody
dreams that anything but silent and express
siye contempt would be accorded to such a
proclamation BY the people Of this State, if
the governor should be insane enough to pub
lish it He has already tested the virtue of
his signature when employed in Illegal acts,
in the case of his famous election proclana-
ton. The sherifs treated that document with
contempt; and we do not presume that they
would feel themselves bound to obey the gov
ernors mandate to vacate their Offices.

sented last night to rather an improved

The ST. CHARLES house last night
was, so far as we could judge, the best of the
season. Rocambole," upon its first repre-
sentation, undoubtedly drew immensely. Mr..
Eddy was himself as Rocdmbole, but Miss
Henrietta Irving, as Baccarat, was the central
figure of the play. The talents of this lady
have hardly been appreciated at their full
value in this community, owing to q certain
deficiency of voice; but in the grace, dignity
of her manners and the taste and elegance of
her toilets, we have seldom seen her equal
upon our stage Her good qualities do not
end here She played BdccGrdt last night
with a tragic power of look and gesture which
caused her to be called twice before the cur

points at another time.

favorably with those at either of the other
theaters. The usual variety tonight.
