years preceding the war, but numerously enough to
show that the spirit of enterprise is again display
ing promising vitality That section Of New LeVee
street, between Canal and Poydras, is notable
example of this. Three spacious buildings for
business purposes are now in progress, and the ez-
tensiye premises of Blafer & Co. have been but re-
Gently completed. We do not wonder at this how
ever, for neighborhood is bound to go ahead
where successful merchants locate, as John Fl.
Carter Jas Butler & Co., Schmidt & Zeigler, w.

commercial palaces, ye merchants, and improve
and beautfy the city. ye municipal authorities, and
we say to you, Godspeed.
ALMOST A NuIsANCE.-lti is said that cleanliness
is godIiness. If the reverse be true that want of
cleanliness is want Of godliness, then is the Re-
corders Court of the First Districtnot particularly

when it went through cleansing process, but that
it needs ones Just as certain as that Thad Stevens
needs to be reconstructed" morally, religiously
and patriotically. Ifcholera were spontaneous, we
wouldn't be at all surprised some morning at find
ing few cases" there instead Of the legal
ones that we go there to report If the place be
put in decent order we have no doubt but that the
judge, the reporters the bar the clerks, the police
officers, and the Witnesses will as in duty bound
ever pray" etc.
POLICE FINANCEs.-The police force of the city
are like Micawber, waiting very anxiousIy for
something to turn up" in regard to the pay
question. The greenbacks which accrued to them
for last months services, still in the municipal
strong-boX, instead of being fingered is
too large an expression for so small am amount
by those city creditors. The proper authorities,
by making note Of this, and acting considerably
thereupon, will make glad the hearts of the corps
and those dependent upon them.
