THE Markets.

The question of the city finances appears
to be more muddled than ever. The potent
plan of redeeming city notes by sale Of the
market stalls for ten years has failed and
now the municipal authorities are casting
about for some other expedient by which
they may achieve their object. A PROPOSE
ton is now before the council to sell the
markets for ten years, to the highest bidder,
provided that no bid for less than 50 200 600
shall be received. We have not examined
this proposal attentively, because we have
considered 1t only another one of the hume
rous devices by which an effort is made to
accomplish what is really impracticable. 1t is
possible, however, that this new plan has
some hidden merit which we do not yet per-
ceive. The seeming determination of the
council to get rid of the most valuable
source of revenue possessed by the city
may, in this instance, involve a real
advantage. 1t is understood that the persons
who have suggested this sale, and who, alone,
are prepared to bid for the markets, are ex-
perienced and responsible parties, who will
carry out their contract in good faith. The
question, then, is simply whether or not the
sum contemplated by the ordinance is fair
equivalent for the rights thus disposed of;
and this is problem of easy solution. The
ordinance, as it stands, however, does not
seem to be complete. 1t omits two markets,
the Claiborne and the Dryades, which are
situate in improving portions of the city,
and which will become more valuable from
year to year. We do not believe that the
parties referred to would accept the ordinance
with these markets omitted; and yet, if they
are included, the sum required should, it
would seem, be proportionately increased.
If the authorities are resolved to sell the mar
kets, let the thing be done thoroughly, and
let as much be obtained for them as they are
worth.

The ST. ANNAs ASYLUM BENEFT.-In re-
Spouse to the call of benevolence and charity
the New Orleans public is never behind
hand in contributing, by its sympathy and
more substantial pecuniary aid, that which
will gladden. and relieve. And this evening,
at the Varieties, we shall see visible demon
stration of this fact in. the refined audience
which will undoubtedly then assemble on the
occasion of the benefit performance to be
given in aid of st. Annals Asylum, charita-
BILE institution located on Prytania street,
between Felicity and st. Mary. The per-
formances will consist of a series of tableaux,
in which some two hundred ladies and gentle
men representing the best societyof the city
are to take part. and the rehearsal of which
has occupied untold time and attention.
Senorita Filomeno will also participate,
affording the audience an opportunity of lis
tening to some of her choicest selections
upon both the piano and violin. The sale Of
tickets for this entertainment has been very
brisk, and we would advise those desiring
good seats, or any at all, to go early.

The CoLoRED VoTE.-At Shreveport, during
the recent canvass, there was club composed
Of colored Democrats, who did good service
at the election. The Southwestern recon-
mends the formation of such clubs through
out the State, and the proposition is seconded
by the Baton Rouge Gazette. 1t would be
well to take the same course in New Orleans.
We have lost the colored vote here simply be-
cause we allowed the vagrant and mendicant
et-baggers TO take possession of it, to or
ganize il, and use it for their own purposes.
The more intelligent of the colored people
know the carpet-baggers thoroughly, and
heartily detest them. They would combine
with the whites and aid in extirpating carpet
baggery from the soil of the State, if they
were convinced that their cooperation would
be acceptable, and that they would be en-
couraged and protected in assuming this po-
sition. They know that the vagrant and mem
dicant "loilists have no use for the colored
man except to get his vote, and that they fear
the competition and rivalry of the intelligent
colored people. 1t is among these that we
can find efficient allies for future organiza-
ton which will enable us to rescue the State
of Louisiana from the obscene gang of harpies
who have swooped down on her, and who ex-
pect to surfeit themselves on what is left of
her riches

The case of Mr.. Charles Cavanac, commits
sioner of election, arrested on a warrant
issued by United States Commissioner Shan
non, came up yesterday morning before the
commissioner. Mr.. Durant da Ponte and
Mr.. F. S. Zacharie appeared for Mr.. Cavanac,
and Messrs. Cutler and Sheldon for the
afRant-J. Hale Sypher. Mr.. da Ponte
raised an exception to the jurisdiction of the
commissioner, contending that the elections
under the reconstruction act were controlled
exclusively by the district commander. The
exception was overruled. and the case was
sent to the United States District Court, the
counsel for Mr.. Cavanac waving an examina-
ton before the commissioner.

RADICAL FRAUDS.

1t is understood that the carpet-baggers
are taking testimony to prove Democratic
frauds in the parish of Orleans at the
recent election. This is entirely conso-
nant with the usual assurance of carpet
baggery. Everybody knows that, except
for the infamous, shameless and hagitious
frauds committed by the "trooly loil 4" office
hunters, the city of New Orleans would have
given Democratic majority of at least 5000
But carpet-baggery. insatiate in the pursuit of
plumber, is driven almost to insanity by the
loss of the parish of Orleans. The trooly
loil heart is sorely lacerated by the failure
of the " trooly loil scheme to carry the city
and parish by means of a system of colonial
ton entirely unparalleled in the history of
popular elections. 1t was supposed that the
plan could not fail. "Trooly loil " calcula-
tons take no account of terrestrial posi-
bilities, and carpet-baggery always reckcns on
its own perpetuation and supremacy as the
only object for which elections are con-
trived. If carpet-baggery is beaten, the
trooly loil" carpet-bagger stands aghast
at the enormity of the outrage, and declares
that the election, where he is defeated, is a
full Acting on this ingenious and profitable
theory, the Republican committee are now
engaged in accommodating affdavits to show
that by all the rules of carpet-baggery. they
ought to have carried the city; and that they
only failed ON account of the obdurate refu-
col of tba commissioners Of a1ection IN ao-
cept their imported votes. The carpet-bag-
gers have an infantile confidence in the eff.
cacy of afidavits. The signature of facile
justice of the peace and the cross-mark of a
deluded negro are paraded by them with as
much assurance as if such things could not
be obtained by the score for the simple ask
ing But they seem to have overlooked the
fact that, in this case, they are apt to prove
entirely too much. They can, undoubt-
eddy, show that many offered votes were
rejected by the commissioners; but they
will have to show, likewise, that
these were fraudulent votes, rejected
because they were known to be illegal The
more of this sort of thing that the carpet
baggers can prove, the more they will weaken
their own case. Indeed, if they require any
help, the Democratic committee, now in ses-
sion, will lend them valuable and efficient as
sistance. That committee is likewise en-
gagged in taking testimony, and it already has
collected enough to satisfy any impartial man
that the radicals had contrived general sys-
TEN of fraudulent voting, and that they
pressed it with SO much energy and audacity,
that it came very near success. This investi-
cation will be continued until thorough ex-
posure is made of the fagitious devices by
which "trooly loil " carpet-baggery attempted
to suppress the voice of the white people OF
