nation bask In the autumnial rays with the firm
conviction that for the next four years they will
be called on TO do nothing but :" eat sugar candy

DEATH OF FATHER DUNCAN-Yesterday wit.
messed the funeral of Father Duncan, who, for
some time back, has been officiating in ST. Jo-
sephs Church. on Common street, near the hos
pital. He was, from all we can learn, a man
eminenty useful, and one whose loss is to be de.
plored by the community in which be has lived.
BE was much about the Charity Hospital, where
his accomplishments as a linguist made him of
great service. His body was followed to the
tomb by the boys of the st. Vincent de Paul Asy-
lums, the girls of the Sister School, number
Of the Sisters Of Charity besides large train of
other mourDers. Father Duncan was, we believe,
member Of the order of Lazarists.
The DISPLAY OF DEMOCRATIC BANNERS gudons
and wreaths, at Masonic Hall, on the Sd prox
promises to prove an occasion of rare interest.
There were about eighty clubs in the city, every
one of which had, we believe, at least one ban
ner, while some had two or three. large hall
like the one selected, when decorated with the
blazonry Of q hundred banners, will present a
spectacle well worth going to see.
A CoRREcTIoN.-By typographical omission of
the word "Do, !" in our report OF the Board of AS
sistsnt AldeTmens proceedings. published in yes
terday's edition, the resolution of Mr.. Pandely
described as being one /" instructing the control
Ter TO issue warrants to A. l.. Lee as State prin-
ter, ect." II should have read: =" Instructng
the controller to issue no warrants TO A. l.. Lee
as State printer, etc." We append the resolution
in full
whereas, the constitutionality Of the State
printing bill will be contested through the courts
and whereas Gen. A. l.. Lee, claiming to be State
hfs sssassa Ss ss be
and is hereby instructed TO refuse TO issue any
warrant to said Gen. Lee as State printer, and he
is further instructed not TO prejudice OF cOmpro-
mise the rights of the city in any way as to the
printing bill.
TEE BREMEN STEAMSHIP NEW YoRK.-Amidst
the political defeat which has recently befallen
our people, it Is cheering to witness that, un-
daunled by 1t, they are, both by their own
endsavors and by inducing the investments of
their friends and correspondents abroad, still
engaged, uDfalteriDg, in the great work of ex-
the war, it having been demonstrated that cotton
wss not the monarch we had fondy hoped, the
citizens of New Orleans were fGin 10 look to
other sources from whence to regain that scepter
which in the turmoil and confusion of resoundiDg
arms she lost Then it was that, their eyes
opened at last to the real Importance of the posi-
tion of New Orleans at the mouth of the great
river, our merchants began to appreciate the
vsst benefits to be derived from the West
ern trade, both coming and going. We can
transport the cereals of the vast
Western prairies TO either New York or
Europe far cheaper than they can be carried by
any overland route and we can bring back TO
the West the products Of Europe at far less
fTeights than they can be carried via New York.
These facts gradually worked themselves into
notice ; and one merchant after another perceiv-
ing their existence, proceeded to profit by them.
The result was the establishment of first q
direc at a hQnQQ n q n To
st. Nazaire, France, via Havana; next one to
Hamburg direct During this time various barge
lines had been established between this city and
st. Louis, freights icing thus much chespeRed;
st. Louis was made port of entery, thus allow
ing goods 10 pass directly from the ocean steam
ship to the barge; and q large elevator has been
butt TO facilitate the transpor alton OF grain from
the bsrges to steamship. All these were links in
the chain of events thstwill bind New Orleans to
q great and prosperous future. And what calls
forth this paragraph is the chronicling of the ad
dition OF yet another link to that chain-the in-
aUgurst'on of another line of steamships connect
ing this port with the old world.
There has existed in the city of Bremen for many
years q company known as the North German
Lloyds. whose boats have piled between that city
and New York. This com pany, seeing the future
in store for us, and desirous of sezing the first
opportunity of profiting by our coming good for
tune have taken Two of their boats out of the New
York trade and will hereafter run them between
Bremen and New Orleans. The first of this line,
new arrived mere u lew Gays Sluco.
She brought over some l75 passengers, besides
freight. since her advent both from the circum-
stances which we have mentioned which throw q
peculiar interest around her and from her own
crest SIZE and beauty, she has been visited by
quite a lumber Of our citizens, anxious to take
look at a vessel which seems a harbinger of good
fortune TO us. Our reporter had himself thought
of taking to trip TO the Fourth District to the
new arsiyal when the reception ofa polite notefrom
Mr.. I'd +. Stockmeyer, the courteous agent of the
steamship, inviting him on. board tho ksw York
yesterday evening, decided him to no longer delay
The visit. On bis arrival on board he found some
dozen or so of our prominent merchants, ship
agents, ETC., assembled TO appropriately celebrate
the Inauguration of the new line. Before going
further it would be well to say something OF the
