LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

LITTLE dPARAGRAPHS--Ine S1Xtn 'Waru
Democratic Club, which marched up st.
Charles street last evening to softest, sweet
est music, and with appropriate banners,
every member in the ranks conducting
himself like gentleman, cannot be the
Sixth Ward Rough and Ready Democratic
Club, which in similar march last week
poured out their grief in unmeasured tor
rents, and gave vent to their intense agony
when passing our neighbor's door. The
club last evening did something toward re-
deeming the furnished reputation of the
Democrats in the Sixth Ward.
Merchants and traders are complaining
nj the dullness of business. TIE cash sales
for cotton of the new crop have not so far
resulted in putting much money into gen
eral circulation.
OF the one million dollars in city notes
thrown into circulation by disbursements
TO meet the requirements Of pay-rolls, the
laborers on the streets, the policemen,
school teachers and others employed by
aud connected with the city government
lose nearly four hundred thousand dollars.
And this great loss might have been avoid
ed by the collection of city revenues in
current funds or, by funding the city notes.
There will be on the FIRST of October an
unusual number of changes in business
houses and private residences. Rents, so
far from advancing, appear to be declin-
irg. i4e. alH
New Orleans has been indebted in some
degree for its prosperity to the earnings
wrested from the toiling masses. The
great need now OF Louisiana is immigra-
ton, capital, enterprise, manufactures and
the fullest development of its agricultural
resources. The good time will come when
men, money, genius, intelligence are en-
couraged and attracted to this great State,
which is rich in its natural resources that
need population and capital to develop
them properly
Juvenile Blair and Seymour supporters,
such as marched down St. Charles street
last evening to the music of the drum and
fife, cheered No. 50 and gave a pleasant
recognition of No. 81. Youthful as they
are and as solicitous as their anxious
mothers must be when they go out nights
now in clubs, they will be old men long
before either Blair or Seymour will be
electc to any national position.
Canal street was lighted as usual last
evening, but it was not at all CAV, the mum.
Der of promenaders being comparatively
