THE CTTx FINANCES.
A New scheme to Be Proposed.
sale of the Market stalls.


We learn that proposition has been un-
der consideration by number of influential
citizens for several days past, which, it is
thought, will, is carried out, efectually re.
lieve the city treasury from its present en-
barrassments. As the gentlemen who have
had the matter under discussion, and given
1t their sanction, are in position to press
it upon the council, and with sufficient in
1uence to render its adoption probable, We
give below the leading points, as follows
The stalls in the various markets to be of.
fered for sale at auction on a lease,of ten
years, each stall to be sold singly. As the
markets are already let for this year, the
leases so to be sold to late from the
tirst of January, 1869. The terms of
payment to be one-half cash In city
notes, the balance to remain at eight
per cent interest and payable in bank
able funds at intervals. The purchaser,
however, to have the option of paying the
full price in city notes at me tine of the
adjudication. The leases of the alls to be
transferable. No other tax of any kind, ex.
cept the usual licenses as retail dealers, TO
be imposed upon the holders of these stalls.
We are told that a careful estimate of the
amount the city will realize from this plan,
if put in operation, will be sufficient to alb
sorb the outstanding city currency. No
distinction to be made in the denominations
of the notes received in payment.
As the money is paid into the treasury for
the leases, the same to be set aside and can
celled and DESTROYED.
Some or the reasons assigned aud argu
ments adduced in support Of the measure
may be summed up as follows:
| The lessees of the stalls can sub.let them,
and receive the rent in lega! tender cur.
rency.
The butchers are, as a rule, rich, and each
of them will want a stall for himself, and, no
| doubt, take number on speculation. A
market thus leased by the city for ten years
Will be likely to remain such for that period,
thus giving an additional value to surround
ing property for groceries and other retail
stores. And the increase in the value OF the
property around market will extend also
to the stalls. Stability, even for term o.
ten years, if assured, will enhance the value
ofproperty around any market in the city
Although there are many perhaps q
majority, of the people who hold stalls il
the markets who would be unable to pa!
one.half the price of a stall in advance
yet there are others who eau and will d,
SO, and the former can as easily max
terms with the latter as they do now witt
the farmers, who purchase whole marke
for a year. The currency for the first pay
ment can now be bought at heavy dis
count, thus reducing to that c tent the pul
chase price.
If these gentlemen have not made mi;
calculation there can be little doubt tha
the plan, when successfully carried out
will e-tinguish the whole currency debt {
the city. 1t is unquestionaoly worthy c
careful consideration.

FRTHESIASTIg MEETING IN PLA.
QUEMINES PARISH,

Ta-BAUT Pr AVIATION,
PlaQuemlnas Parish March 8, 1858
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
One of the largest and most enthusiastic
meetings ever convened in this parish as.
sembled at the plantation of the Hon.
Charles A. Thibaut, our distinguished dele
gate to the convention. Thomas Devon
port ESQ, was elected president by q
unanimous vote. The meeting was ad-
dressed in lengthy speech by the president,
who was followed by the Hon. W. NJ. Pres
colt. the regular nominee of the Repub-
lican party for parish Judge of Plaquemines.
In an eloquent and able speech he adTo-
Gated the claims of the regular Republican
nominees for state officers, and strenuously
insisted upon the necessity OF e thorough
organization, to defeat the plans Of open
rebels or pretended friends, boilers, and
disorganiZers.
This address was listened to with the
widest enthusiasm, aad had q most happy
effect in dispelling all illusions in regard to
the boilers and in pledging the meeting to
the support of the regular nominations.
A full parish ticket was adopted, which
comprises the names of the most Influential
Republicans in the parish, men of talent,
education, and high standing, who will not
only be acceptable to the people, but whose
reputation is a sufficient guarantee that II
elected they will perform the duties of their
respective offices III manner that will re
feet honor upon themselves and the great
party to which they belong. ALI these gen
ilrmen are supporters of the regular nOmi
nations, and will use every effort to insure
success in the great campaign before us.
The regular Republican nominee for con
gress, GeneralJ. H Sypher, is anxiOuslyex
pected, and on his arrival will meet with o
most enthusiastic reception. He will re
ceiye the undivided vote OF st. Bernard
and Plaquemines. .a

How ARE THE MIGBFT FAILEN.-Generat
Hancock and Jefferson Davis ride publicly
in the same carriage in the streets of New
Orleans, and IN every other manner indi~
cate the fullest oerdiality of sentiment, The
feature ofthese incidents that is objection
able is that jeff Davis is to-day as much the
embodiment Of secession sentiment as
formerly, and General Hancock is the SYM
Dol of nstional power and authority, The
intimacy Of Hancock and Davis, theretore,
simply evinces the subservien6y of the
former to the wishes and purposes Of the
latter. A pitiable exhibition, indeed, OF the

The New Orleans correspondent Of the
Louisville Journal thus describes the Gre
mems ovation to JEFF Davis on the fourth
instant
In answer to call from several COM
paAies of firemen and several thousand eiti-
aens on the street, Mr.. Davis appeared on
the balcony of the hotel, and quietly and
undemOnstratively received the enthusiastic
cheers that greeted him. The crowd
surged and roared their plaudits, the bands
played, whilst the man retired who once
represented the embodiment of the cause
for which thousands of them had fought and
suffered, Whilst he looked over the vast
crowd he stood erect, and looked like the
firm statuesgue man of his great past; bat
when he turned to retire tear glistened
in his eye, and his sharp and usually immO-
bile lips twitched and quivered with the
emotions that a man of steel could not
| withstand under like circumstances.
