PRESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS MEN.

The New York Times says: A Nashville
editor calls upon his readers to resolve with
him, that, come veal or woe, We will not
buy a cents worth of goods from a Radical
merchant or get our boots from Radi.
cal shoemaker, employ a Radical mechanic,
ride in a Radical hack, or patronize a Rad
ical teacher q Radical church. or any.
thing else that is Radical. We NeW-Yorkers
can give a word of comfort at this iuncture,
to the Tennessee merchants, Cobblers hack
drivers, and dOminos about to be deserted
OF customers. Some years ago,
Georgian came north, and made
black list of merchants with whom
southerners were not to trade. The firm
that thereupon lost southern custom thought
this was rather hard, though their rivals
who sold all the more, regarded it as ex-
ceedlngly Just. 1t was not many months
before the tables were turned. Before most
OF the bills Lad become due, the south had
seeded and the bills " seeded too, and
the men on the black list had the laugh
against their smart competitors, who had
been found politically sound enough to
trade with. The Nashville editors. as well
as the Nashville citizens who say what they
mean and vote as they think, will do well to
take this lesson to heart.
This pretended prescription of business
men is seldom carried to any practical ex-
tent. The leaders and actors in such move
ments are usually men who have not the
means to make purchases, and can only
obtain credit of northern merchants through
the influence of the pressure of some such
scheme as that resorted to by the Georgia
merchant above alluded to. By deceiving
the merchant with false statements of ex-
tensive influence with his neighbors. and
the consequent increase of patronage to be
derived from his recommendation, it some
times happens that young business men
in New York and other commercial centres
are sometimes vietimized by southern
sharpers. But it seldom happens that the
old and experienced merchants bite at such
a bait.
In the winter Of 1854, there was meet
ing Of small retail dealers in Memphis for
the purpose of running the merchants of
Cincinnati, in consequence OF some politi-
cal proceedings in the latter city distaste-
full to the chiyalry, at which resolutions
were adopted agreeing to buy no more
goods from Cincinnati merchants. The
only peroeptible result Of this meeting
was the large increase of shipments by the
next packet Every man supposed the
agreement would be respected by every
body but himself, and that there would be
a temporary scarcity, and consequent adj
vance OF prices. So all orders were
doubled, and it required two steamboats,
to bring down the goods. We heard no
more of mercantile prescription in Mem
phis for some years after that failure.

We are indebted to Hon. j. Hawkins,
reporter of the decisions of the supreme
court of this state, for pamphlets numbered
enc and two of the nineteenth volume of
the Louisiana annual reports. These num-
bers, just published by Bloomfield & Steel,
bear evidence of excellent mechanical
work. The labor of Judge Hawkins has
been performed in manner highly credit
able to his legal ability and eapa-
city for getting at the gist of deei-
sions, and shows that he has devoted
more than usual care and discrimination to
the important task of reporting the decis-
ions of our highest state court. Many Of the
decisions contained in these numbers are on
very interesting and highly important
questions growing out of our anamolous
position after the rebellion. No lawyer
should be without them. The best time to
read regal works and keep up the study Of
the reports is during the duh summer
zaonths, when the courts are closed for
active business life.

QuarantIne-New iberia.

There is no later news from New Iberia
than the evening Of the 18th. Dr.. Schmidt,
president of the Howard association, ar
rived from New Iberia last night (29th).
There is no longer need Of his services there,
the deaths now amounting to but one or two
day.
There were q few cases. Sunday last at a
place below New Iberia called Indian Bend.
All who did not die left, SO that finished the
matter.
There were no cases further down on the
Teche, and it was quite healthy at Franklin
on the 2sth.
There are a few cases on the steamers
quarantined at Brashear city; but as there
are few people there, j. IS not probable any
spread will take place, the steamers being
isolated.
Parties coming to New Orleans from the
direction of New Iberia have to take oath
at Brashear that they have not
been at New iberia within sixteen
days. This is but loss Ct twenty-five cents
to each of them, ana q gain Of that amount
to the justice who administers the oath.
To show the inconsistency and uselessness of
this, parties from healthy plantations below
Franklin yesterday took the oath and
paid the tribute, while others from New
Iberia and its neighborhocd passed without
this duty and tribute Such an order should
be COuntermanded at once.

The threatened strike of the bakers
against a revival Of the city ordinance reg
ulating the size Of bread in proportion to
the price of flour reminds US Of a similar
event which occurred in times gone by, and
the remedy which the occasion suggested.
We commend it to the consideration Of
both producers and consumers of the staff
Of life
At a council assembled the bakers sat down,
And sWore by the lever they'd starye the whole
town
Not loaf would they sell under double the price,
So the people must perish or feed upon rice
one got in a passion and swore from that hour
NO, hang him il ever he d mix any flour 80
An IrIshmRn passing and heard what said,
Cried GIVE me potatoes; curse you and your
bread,
"St. Patrick, God bless him, who invented potatoes
Knew were they to be bahed, how the bakers
would trate
80 his rvireuce fixed the whole matter to foil them
And SAID, Paddy, me boy, you have only to boil

1t is well known that negotiations have
for some time been going on between
our government and the government of
st. Domingo, with view to our acquiring
for the purposes of naval station the large
and beautiful bay Of SANTANA. At cost OF
five millions of dollars the bay, with five
miles of land on the circumjacent shore, is
at last to become the property of the United
States. The bay is forty.threo miles in
length from east to west, about eight miles
broad, and forms one Of the finest harbors
in the world. In military and CONNER
c!al point of view the acquisition is most
important. Considering the growing i'm.
portance of our relations with Central
America, its value as a naval station is not
to be over.estimated.

ACCUM THE PEG.
PIE STAND ITs

The Dryades market heretofore paid the
city $4,000 per annum when farmed out.
twas contracted for at that rate last winter;
but the city wishing to change this, bought
back the contract, and appointed one James
Beggs its agent to receive the market rents.
To show how fast the city can lose money,
or how rapidly some people can accumu-
late, it is only necessary to add the follow
ing facts: The mayor received yesterday
the statment that the city agent, Beggs,
returns to the city treasurer for the above
named market rents for the 100 days,
from March II to August II, inclusive,
IS, G37 10 less Sjll Is, his five per cent.
commission on the same. Now, at $50, 900
per annum-allowing no profit TO him who
farms the market-the 100 days should
have produced Sl3, $50 and over, instead of
Ss,G37 10. Besides, the market always pays
better rent at the season of the year of
which this 100 days formed part. Is it
not accommodating a fortune at the city's
expense rather fast, to thus obtain S45l3 of
gains that should go TO her in five and
third months? So the mayor thinks;
and he accordingly sent an agent yesterday
to relieve Mr.. Beggs. But the latter
gentleman is not satisfied with the small
amount from the city teat and refused to
be relieved. Rather than be arrested this
morning, and held to account for his afore-
said action, he may think better of it and
gracefully retire. We have said nothing of
his informal way of reporting to the city
treasurer, and deducting his commission,
instead Of through the controller and
drawing his warrant upon the treasurer for
his commission. But these are loose times,
they are tout Of joint
Can the city stand such salaries as this to
its agents Here is one mana mere
receiver of the city's dues from the rents of
a single market, poeketing nearly the salary
of the president of the United States. For,
though the amount Of his income above
given is but Sl5l3, and the commission of

having received $4,000 in that time, making

A letter from correspondent at Thibo-
deaux gives us cheering account of the
progress of political affairs in Lafourche
parish. He concludes business letter to
the office thus:
P.S. have been so busy Of late that
have not had time TO write you on the situa.
ton in this parish. ] take great pleasure in
telling you the Republican party is fully
organized up here, and my impression is
that if their candidates for delegates to the
convention are well chosen they will be
elected by very large majorities. In the
meantime am not idle by any means, if
you do not hear from me often.
