THE ORDINANCE FOR rHs SALE OF THE STALLS
OF TIE City MARKEfs.-This ordinance, as will
be seen by the proceedings of the City Council
in this mornings CRESCENT, passed both boards
Of the council unanimously last night. and viii
beyond doubt Immediately receive the signature
of Mayor Heath. The terms OF sale present
feature which are subject TO comment and must
have been the result Of omission on the part of
the trainers of the ordinance. The ordinance
says that the sale shall be for ten yearsone half pay
able cash in city notes, and for the balance the
purchaser shall give his note. bearing per cent
interest per snnum, payable eighteen months
from the date OF adjudication, without spool
flying the nature Of tie money in which the note
shall be psid at maturity.
Ii is evident that an omission exists here. which
may involve litigation TO no little extent, unless
the currency in which the payment shall be made
is determined before the sales are effected. Itmay
be justly argued that the bestlegsl tender which
debtor can offer to his creditor is the latters own
note. and therefore the city Of New Orleans
would be in duty bound to receive its own eur
rency-for the payment of the notes given by the
purchasers of the stalls. Bot the ordinance, by
providing for the " snbrogation of the rights aud
privileges of the city 20 parties TO whom these
notes may at any time be transferred or con
veyed" leads us to believe that there exists
probability of their being thrown upon the
market.
The purchasers Of these notes will not occupy
the same position the city. and can justly claim
from the drawers that they shall be paid in legal
tender notes of the United States. Something,
therefore, it would seem, should be done towards
defining in what kind of money these notes are 10
be paid. This action would remove all doubt Ia
the minds of the people and facilitate the sale Of
the stalls as provided for by the ordinance.

TIE TAL1AFERRo "so-CALLEDr CoSvENrIoN.-
Some fifteen or twenty persons, self constituted
convention, have been assembling for several
nights, in room in the house, No. GO 81. Charles
street. and have been distributing fayors to this
community with no nggsrd hand. DR.. Beldsn
is the president Of the body. The organization
does not like csrpet-baggers to interfere with old
" Tesidenters" in dosing the people with physic,
nstructng them in law, OF in doctrinatibg them
with the principles of constitutionaln govern
ment. The " convention" is making nomina-
lions; in other words it is making a tail over
which Tsliaferro, the counsel of jsyhawkers, the
associate justice of the Supreme Court, the presi
dent Of the "black and TAM convention, may,
with his coored lieutenant, go kiting into tue
guSernatorial office, under Constitution that
makes every white man in the State the slave of
This kite tail manufacturing coterie has had the
express approval OF Colonel A. p. Field, Colonel
Attorney General Barney Lynch and Col. the Right
Reverend Doctor Rogers, the latter of whom as
a sgDanimous cliled person, has said he has not
much faith in those white strangers from the
North, who invite darkies to champagne sup
pers.
The nominations made by this little clique Of
radical macontents last night will astound the re-
spectacle people Of New Orleans. Whether the
parties whose names are used authorized the use
Of them or not, we are not Informed, but there
are some names put forth that the respectsble
population of New Orleans viii be ast0nished to
find in such a connection, and every decent man
expects TO see a disclaimer from those who bear
such names, OF any association with class OF men
who aim to degrade their own race and are seek
ing 70 procure the adoption of Constitution that
must result In the slavery OF the white man OF
something nearly as bad.
This so-called convention has something in the
shade called State Central Committee" aud
the nominations made last night were put forward
recommendations for Office, subject to the ap-
prevail Of this mythical committee. The nominal
