Another great attraction occurs this day in the
sale, by Messrs. G. Z. Grardey & Co., of that
valuable property. comprising five entire squares
and l07 lots, situated between New Levee and
Tchoupitoulas streets, and running from Race TO
Celeste street.
This property comprises the only vacant bat.
ture property Of any consequence yet TO be sold
in which the city has any direct interest; and as
this sale is made in conformity with compro-
mise between the heirs Of Livaudsis and Robin
De Sogry, and rendered absolute by special
decree Of court, the title to the same il beyond
question. Theterms upon which this sale is made
are onefourth cash and three years credit for
the balance. For full description, see adver.
tisement and lithogrsphic plans at sale.

and that If the negroes gain the sscendency the
whites viii emigrate to the North or West. He
gives this country four years more Of trial on re-
publican principles, but thinks the sscendency Of
federal ideas win lead to a. monarchy. Mr..
Stephens advocates Mr.. johnson for the next
presidency, and thinks Grant would give way to
radical madness. Finally, he believes the South
ern States have never been ont Of the Union; and
that Congress has no right to legislate them back
or reconstruct them.

1t does not appear whether the Thomas
Ewing, said to be nominated for secretary of
war by the President, is the senior or the Junior
of that name. The great age of tho elder
Ewing, Notwithstanding his distinguished
antecedents, as many years asSenator from
Ohio, and as member of Harrison's and
Taylor's cabinets, almost precludes the sup
position that he is the appointee referred to.
His SON, Thomas Ewing, also of Ohio, a law
yer by profession, is represented to be a
gentleman of fine attainments. of high spiiit
and of sterling character. He served in the
federal army during tine late war, and held
the rank of brigadier general he is brother
in-law to Lieut.. Gen. Sherman.
