AIR LINE ROUTE TO NEW YORK.

The advantages Of direct line of commu-
nication between New Orleans and New York,
the two great commercial centers of the
country, are SO obvious as scarcely to require
argument or comment. In this age, more
emphatically than ever before, time is money,
and as the great object of railways is to
shorten the time required for inter-communi-
cation, it is plain that. other circumstances
being equal, the most direct routes must be
the most desirable and most profitable. The
want of q short route between the two cities
has always been felt, and its necessity has
now become more obvious than ever. The
existing lines of communication have come
into existence incidentally-or rather, they
are the development of enterprises more or
less local, and undertaken with view
more to immediate than to prospective
advantage 1t is fortunate, however,
that these enterprises have taken such shape
as to leave but comparatively small link to
be filed in order to establish an air line Of
communication between this city and New
York. That is to say, the line of road termi-
mating at Selma will be finished in a few
months, and then there will remain but ESQ
miles of the direct route to be completed.
On the accomplishment of this remaining
part of the line we shall be rs miles nearer to
New York than by any existing route, or, at
least eight hours-a period of travel which is,
in itself, worth great effort to save But
there are other advantages than this which
make it desirable for New Orleans to enter
vigorously into the movement for carrying cut
the project. The proposed line passes
through a region rich in natural resources,
and already partially developed; but the pro-
ducts Of which have never, hitherto. found
their way to the New Orleans market. Be-
sides the cotton and grain of Northern Ala
bama and Georgia, there are rich deposits Of
coal and iron along the line of the projected
road. II this enterprise be consummated q
new and vast field of commercial wealth will
be opened for the merchants of New Orleans.
In referring to this subject we are not in
dulging in mere speculation or hypothesis.
The enterprise has not only been initiated,
but it is in the hands Of those who will spare
no effort to accomplish it. The people of
Northern Alabama are keenly sensible of the
importance Of the work, and have already
donated million acres Of land as basis for
further financial operations. A full corps of
engineers will reach here in a few. weeks; and
we trust that our citizens viii be prepared to
receive them with substantial encouragement
There are other points connected with this
subject, to which We shall take an early OPP
portunity to refer.

rHF nEmocRArIc CONVENTION.

The Democratic Convention which assem-
bled yesterday was one of the finest ever held
in the State. A large representation was
present from all sections, embracing many OF
the representative men of the old political
organizations. The total vote would have
been about two hundred and fifty had all the
parishes been represented, and nearly two
hundred were cast in the election for dele
gates at lsrge. Some parishes which had
elected delegates, such as Natchitoches, Caddo
and DeSoto, were unrepresented on account
of the failure of their delegates to reach the
city in time to be present yesterday. 1t is to
be hoped that the gentlemen will arrive IN
season to take part in the deliberations to-day.
The temporary president. Judge Oyerton, Is
gentleman well-known throughout the State,
and Mr.. sandidge, the permanent president
is a gentleman of experience and popularity,
who has long been connected with public
affairs in Louisiana. He was, for some time,
a. member of the legislature. representing the
parish of Bossier, and served two terms In
Congress. In 1855, he was prominent can
didate for governor before the Democratic
Convention. Since the war Mr.. Sandidge has
resided in this city.
The delegates chosen to the National Con-
vention are: Messrs. Steedman, Jonas, Nc
Closkey and Cage, at large.
First District essrs. st. Martin and

Second District-Messrs. Gibson and

The reinstatement of Street Commissioner
Baker, BY order of Gen. Grant, is another
evidence of the determination of that officer
TO trample on the sentiments and the interests
of this community in his subserviency to the
radical faction in Washington and their car
pet-bag emissaries and minions in Louisiana
The New York Tribune, with huge but I'M
conscious facetiousness, says, in explaining
the revocation of the order removing certain
New Orleans aldermen, that Gen Grant
studied the matter in his quiet way,
and the result of his long deliberation IS
that General Hancock was wrong" But
the manner of arriving at this profound
discovery was very simple after all The
key to it appears in the remark Of the
Tribune that "the congratulations Of the
rebel press over Hancocks action show that
the turning out of the council was especially
gratifying to the unreconstructed" that is to
say, to ninety-nine persons in hundred IN
this city possessing common honesty and IN
telligence. By like illumination, question
less, the general in chief has found, after
slong deliberation," in his "quiet way" that
Gen. Hancock was wrong in turning out Com
missioner Baker. Indecent as such rule OF
revision must appear, any other explanation
would make the result appear infinitely more

THE ARTEMUs WARD MONUMENT.-The following
item is going the rounds of the Kentucky ard
otherpa papers:
The printers throughout the country viii each
on March 9th set one thousand ems, the proceeds
to go to the erection Of amonument to Artemls
Ward. -
We are glad to know that such Is the fact
The first thousand ems was set in this Office year
ago, by Mr.. Halle, CA. Head.) vice president of
the A. Ward Monument Association. since which
time but little il anything has been done. Mr..
H., who lectured in Wards Hail. in London, for
the cause, after bis (ward's) death, reports that
the people Of London volunteered tablet
stone for the monument, when 1t should
assume a di6nitive shape in design
The printers throughout the States have
also manifested willingness to contribute their
mite, but as yet little has been done. Mr.. II. also
says, that, in late interview with Wards mother,
abe thanked the people for their kindness, and
would defer raising headstone until spring to
give the friends Of her son an opportunity to
raise this testimony Of respect to the memory
of one Of the greatest humorsts and best men
that ever lived in this country. As it is, there
is not even q pine board to mark the grave Of
the most genial and quaint humorist this com,
try ever produced. II is recommended that
the printers contribute their funds into the
hands Of the foremen of the different Offices,
and that they in turn hand them over to such
well known friends Of Artemus Ward as miles

money thus raised can then be easily collected

Az ADVENTUROUS LAD RETuRSED.-The family
OF ]. @. Ryner, living on Court street, near Bay
miller, were made very happy yesterday, by the
return home of one of its members, lad Of four
teen years, named Chas. Ryner, who disappeared
so unaccountably about three months since. IL
appears that the youngster had falling out with
his old man." az he styled bis paternal relative,
and made up bis mind to leave, which he did be.
tween two days. He was provided with about
forty dollars, that had been taken out of Q
mothers pocket by ayoung chum Of the runaway.
He went first to st. Louis, where he had relatives
living. AS he did not satisfactorily account for
his appearance there, word was Immediately sent,
by letter to his father. 6uspecting that this had
been done, Master Charles took it INTO his head to
20 to New Orleans, which he did, and with the
small capital that remained to him he embarked
in the enterprise Of carrying papers. In this he
was not very successful. ss the young news mer-
chants Of that city combined to run him of as a
foreigner. He barely managed. by making the
intimate acquaintance of dry goods boxes, and an
occasional snatch at free lunch table, 10 keep
himself alive, until, homesick and repentant, he
finally wrote home asked his fathers pardon and
obtained money 10 bring him back. He returned
ragged. hungry and dirty. and. what was much more
comfortable, entirely cured Of his disposition 20

A NEW MOVEMENT OF THE BUTCHERS.

We understand that the butchers at the
different markets gave notice to their GUS
toners, yesterday morning, that they would
no longer receive city money in payment for
the necessaries or life We have mendicity
and starvation in our streets enough already,
but this is combination on the part of a
class, agair st nearly our entire population.
How are the people to be fed if the ordinary
currency, which is in the hands of all pur-
chasers, is refused by this class of persons ?
The movement on their part, at the very
moment when the city government is strain
ing ever nerve to redeem its currency and re-
store its credit, is one that deserves to be met
by one universal outburst of popular in
dignation.
We have heard it intimated that the
butchers of the free markets are willing, in
this crisis, to receive city money in ex-
change for the necessaries of life. If they
are, they will vindicate their patriotism and
public spirit at time when a display of such
qualities is most needed Let them come
at once to the rescue of the city by pursuing
such praiseworthy course, and the objects of
those who are disposed to Cypress the people
in time of difficulty, will be signally de-
feated at the very outset
p. S.-Since writing the above, we learn
that it is not the butchers who have COM
bined to deprive the people of food, but a
class of malcontents and mischievous rer-
sons who are endeavoring to induce them to
conspire to do SO in thewa indicated, viz: By
refusing to receive the city money. The
butchers it is said intend to have a meeting
forthwith, and to denounce the whole affair
as suicidal and monstrous.
