The New Orleans crescent., 1869-02-13

The Reverend DR.. Joseph P. Thompson
declares thatif women are permitted to vote
our political contests will acquire new
character. The New York World interprets
this to mean that the women will say hard
things of each other. But can they say harder
things than the men say of each other ? The
difference is that what the men say about
each other is generally true, whereas one dear
creature troubles herself very little that what
she says of another dear creature is the ex-
preston of even the semblance of a fact
This being understood all the severe things
that they might say could be taken in npurely
Pickwickian sense.
The New Orleans crescent., 1869-02-13

The city of Philadelphia last October went
Democratic-a fact which, in the eyes of the
Radicals, deprives the people of that city OF
the right of controlling their own local
affairs. Consequently the Radical majority
in the Pennsylvania Legislature have resolved
to metropolitanize Philadelphia by taking
charge of its police organization. Thus Rad
icalism attempts to crush out all local rights,
and subject the country to the will of tenn
porary majority by means of cunningly de-
vised schemes of legislation. The day is
fast coming, however, when the superstition
that cities owe their existence to Legislative
enactment, and their rights to the favor and
grace of the people who do not live in them,
is to be succeeded by recognition OF the
fact that urban populations have a natural
and inalienable right to control and admins
ter their own domestic affairs. The sys-
tematic effort of the Radicals to smother the
voice of the great commercial and industrial
centers, will arouse an inquiry into the ma
ture and foundation of the claim upon which
State Legislatures base their pretensions to
this despotic authority, and will provoke q
resistance by which, finally, the cities Will
succeed in establishing their rights, and COM
pelling q recognition of them in the funda-
mental law, and before the judicial tribu-
nails
The New Orleans crescent., 1869-02-13
OUR REPORT OF 1HB REAL ESTATE NAB.
KIT,

What appear to be small influences ire
quently have their weight for good or
evil; and even things deemed trivial and
unworthy of remark under ordinary circum-
stances may sometimes indicate important
changes of ideas and methods.
Hitherto, the transferring of real estate In
this city has been unattended by the usual
publicity given to other transactions-even
those which involved dimes, when the former
involved dollars. Perhaps, such publicity
was not necessary to the public benetit and,
possibly, spectators might have been ayerse
to it.
But now, when every intelligent citizen OF
New Orleans must perceive that the interest
of the entire community is measured by the
more or less rapid occupation of our vacant
houses and lots, and the filling up of our un-
productive properties by an active and indus
trious population, everything bearing upon
transactions in real estate becomes at once
invested with interest. As report OF these
transactions cannot fail to be interesting as
well as important, the CRESCENT proposes to
devote q special column to that particular
branch of business. We believe that the
public will consider this equally as important
as reports of the money market, "commer-
cial intelligence" or of steamboat affairs. We
shall, therefore, endeavor to keep our readers
informed, not only as to the property in the
market, but also as to that which may be put
on the market with beneficial effect upon
the general interests of the community.
We shall endeayor to report faithfully every
sale, public or private, made In places to
which we have access, and when doing SO,
shall indulge in the privilege of criticising the
transactions as to us seems best.
Our city has before her great and glorious
future. 1t rests entirely with her people
whether she become or not metropolis equal
to the greatest in the world We have ground
enough within our corporate limits for twenty
times our present population. This ground
must one day be occupied, and even in this
generation we may see New Orleans surpass.
| ing in magnitude the greatest cities on the
| continent.
Real estate must enhance greatly in value
within comparatively short period, unless
some extraordinary obstacles intervene tc
| prevent it, and hence movements in that line
must hereafter be of great and constantly
| increasing interest In our daily reports We
shall endeavor to give an exact resume o.
each days or weeks operations. If while car
| rying out this design we can invest the sub
ject with any interest by reviving memories
and incidents of the past, we shall only en-
dear the ancient and historic localities of on
city more and more to the hearts of our peo
pie, and build up in our population an abid
ing affection for city with which our for
tunes are identified, and around which clus
ter our hopes of the future, as well as on
memories of the past.
