city creditors with the satisfaction that was
expected to follow the passage of the or
dinance. City money has continued to de-
preciate rapidly although none is now
paid out, and the Treasurer holds at least
million, with large receipts daily. II is
too soon yet to Judge of the effects Of the
proposed plan.
In some cases city officers have accepted
city notes for salaries due on old payrolls,
and have realized good money by suffering
a discount of from thirty eight and half
to forty per cent Public employment is
not very lucrative on such terms.
We have been for thirty days or more
waiting for the announcement Of the re-
suit Of the recent election. With the excep-
ton of the vote on the Constitution and
for members of Congress, not scin-
tilla Of intelligence has emanated from
headquarters. Had General Napier
made haste so slowly King Theodore
would have died of old age before the
British army came in sight of Magdala. In
the meantime large portion of this State
is without government of any kind. In
come cases the old occupants have formed
new business connections and abandoned
their Offices, thus leaving total vacancies.
In others the present incuubents are
totally unfit for any position of RESPONSE
bility where integrity and justice are re-
CURED. The military officers in Louisiana
have ceased reading the reconstruction laws
and taken up Hancock's treatises on civil
law, and the result is disastrous to quiet
people. But the loyal people OF the State
are very patient, and hope to find relief
from their present intolerable burdens in
the expected changes at Washington.

THE DRAINAGE or NEW ORLEANS,

As the traveller sails up the Nile during
the spring and early summer he will OBJ
serve various methods of lifting water from
the river into the irrigating canals that
were in vogue in the time Of CheOps and
Moses. Here bullock is made to turn a
rude wheel, there q man raises water by
means of bucket and sweep; but perhaps
the most common way is to make success
sion of holes or receptaoles in the sloping
bank, one above the other, into which the
water is poured and from which it is raised
by couple of laborers with bucket In
the immediate vicinity, on plantation be-
longing to one Of the great pachas the
same tourist may perhaps find at werk
modern steam pump capable Of lifting a
million of gallons of water per hour any
where from two to thirty feet, according
to the height Of the Niles bank.
Now the above comparison between the
ancient and the modern methods Of irri-
eating the Nile is also very fit compari-
son between the old fashioned plan Of
draining the city of New Orleans and the
plan which should at once be adopted.
Our present method consists in pushing
along the water in the draining canals by
means of old-fashioned draining machines
on the same principle that the street clean
ers sometimes push along the water in the
cutters with their shovels.
The four draining machines cost the city
some fifty thousand dollars apiece, while
all of them together can not lift as much
water as single steam pump of the most
improved patent. One of these pumps
capable of raising one million seven humid
red thousand gallons of water per hour
can be set up complete with portable ell
CINE for Eve thousand dollars, and can be
run at one-ftth Of the cOst,of fuel required
for each OF the city draining machines.
The reason is that in one case the power is
so applied that none OF it is los, while in the
other at least three-fourths is thrown away
During the last six months of 1867 some
sixteen thousand dollars were expended in
attempting to drain the city. The new
budget calls for thirty thousand dollars for
the current year.
Now, if the city were well drained we
should have nothing to say about the enor-
nous original cost Of the four draining ma
chimes, and the cost of running, or rather of
not running them. The perfect drainage
Of New Orleans is thing SO desirable in
itself so indispensable to the health and
prosperity OF the city and to the future vel
iare of Louisiana, that il would be cheap at
Twice the above figures. But what are the
actual facts Of the case? We know of at
least half dozen sugar plantations on
The lower coast where more labor is expend-
I'd 1--WE do not say more money! on drainage
Than in the great city of New Or
leans, What, are sugar and molasses more
than the health and prosperity of
New Orleans Is it possible that single
planter, by the expenditure of a few thou
sand dollars, can accomplish for the mere
purpose OF raising a crop of cane what two
hundred and fifty thousand people have
ltterly failed TO do for the prosperity Of the
'ity, yes for the preservation of their health
md lives? Such is actually the case.

THE NOMINATIONS.

The nomination Of Grant and Colfax has
given universal satisfaction to the Re-
publicans of Louisiana. Apart from the
personal merits of the candidates, we also
have the satisfaction Of feeling that their
triumphant election is morally certain.
The loyal men whose hearts were with the
Union and the armies of the Union during
the rebellion will all vote for Grant and
their majority in this State is about forty
thousand. No mystifcation or misrep7e-
sentation can deceive the colored voters of
the South. They know who led the armies
which gave 10 them freedom and en-
franchisement, and civil and political
equality, and as one man they will 60 to
the polls next fall and vote for o. S. Grant
and Schuyler Colfax.

THE CITY.

The weather continues TO be cool and
delightful. A slight shower or two occurred
in the beginning of the week, but latterly
the weather has been dry.
The accounts Of the growing crops in the
country continue on the whole to be favor
able. The appearance of the caterpillar
has created some alarm in certain localities;
but experienced observers allege that the
early approach Of this fatal enemy Of the
cotton crop is not necessarily an i'll omen.
The theory is that the worm makes its ap-
pearance every year; but that a rainy
season is fatal to the growth of ants, which
attack and destroy the worm. A dry
season, on the contrary, promotes the in
crease of these little insects in great num-
bers-sufheient to keep down the worm.
The success Of planters, therefore would
seem to depend upon dry season. A pro-
tracted drouth would of course iniure the
growing crop, but rain in moderation
brings that on finely and does not
destroy the ants. The estimated
crop for 1868 is nearly million bales in
excess of the estimate for 1867, and is
about quarter of a million bales more
than the actual crop of last year. These
estimates are invariably too lew.
As an Offset to the discouraging news
from Washington received at the close of
week before last we have since had the
result Of the deliberations Of the Chicago
Convention. The only doubtful cues
ton the convention was called upon
to decide was who should be
Viee-President, as the people have long
since Fixed upon General Grant as the next
President. The selection Of SCHUYLER
Ccliax for the second Office in the Union
gives entire satisfaction 10 all the sections
we have yet heard from. Aside from local
preferences here and there, the distinguish
ed Speaker Of the House appears to have
been the arEt choice Of the Republican
party throughout The country.
