Mayor Conway seems to be about as far
from success in his schemes as ever. The
Common Council. with singular unanimity,
turned against him last night and dsvel-
oped a new phase 10 the present municipal
complications. In order to forestall the
Governor, and get his new Council organ
lied and ready to make stand against his
appointees, Mr.. Conway conceived the
brilliant idea Of convokipg both Boards
last night, swearing in the newly elected
gent lemea, and thus enjoying the advan-
tage popularity ascribed to possession. But
his mules wouldn't pull. The old mem
bers Of the Board, with singular unanimi-
ty refused to concur in the scheme, and
defeated the intentions Of the Mayor
There is 8 conflict Of viees in the party.
The new members claim their seats, which,
on the other hand, the old ones refuse to
vacate, and SO the municipal government
has come to q dead lock. Mayor Conway
mast stand by his prOteges a'ld maintain,
oflciaily, that they are the only original
Jaeobs, thus ignoring the DID coace'n.
But a. he has the old members against him,
hs win end It uphill business.
Attic hour Tor the meeting last night,
three membeEs Of the Board Of Assistants
appeared 10 their seats, and Immediately
afterwara developed their line Of tactics
by adjourning. This. legally speaking

On the purchase of the MillSudon prop.
erty, above Gretna-SOO0 acres for sum
of Sl60,0OO-by a Boston capitalist, the
Times says; "We are glad to see Northern
capitalists investing in real estate in this
vicinity" II said capitalist, however,
should happen to be man in the habit Of
doing his own thinking, as is most likely
the case, espousing the principles of the
Republican party, and attached to the in
situations Of his government, will he be so
cordially welcomed, arriving in the course
of year or two to the dignity of "old citi-
zen" or be denounced as wretched scar
pet Dagger ?" We shall see.

THE CITY,

Although we are now well advanced in
the sea son, we have not yet felt any indi-
cations Of the approach of the heated
term" The weather bias been at times SO
cool as to be almost uncomfortable during
the past week. The business season, too,
which in the so-called prosperous days of
Louisiana, began in November and closed
in March, does not appear to be at an end
yet. Some OF our merchants are even
making preparations to work all summer.
Having attended TO the receipts and sales
Of the cotton and sugar crops, the bulk Of
which has come forward and been dis
posed q, there will be the more time to
devote to forwarding grain, and receiving
and selling imported goods, the receipts Of
which are beginning TO swell up to re-
spectacle figures. The great feature Of
our commerce heretofore has not been de-
stro yed, but it is no longer our sole occu.
patton. We End il necessary TO resort to
som etbing else 10 employ the leisure Of the
long summer months, usually devoted to
idIeness and extravagance.
As yet we hear Of but little Of the usual
running OF to the North. The season Il
rather early for that, Il is true, bat we be.
lieve. there win be decreases IN that SORT
81 folly this year. So long aa there ara
local attractions, in the shape Of business
profitable employment, and rational apnae-
msnt, our people viii generally prefer
staying 81 hone to travelling. Besides

The PARIS REsTAURANr.-It will be seen
upon reference to our advertising columns
that Mr.. P. Forget, the celebrated chief du
cuisine, has opened an establishment named
as above, at No. 80 Bienville street, the far.
famed old stand, where the bon Uiuants of
twenty years ago used TO be so fond of con-
gregating. Forget is about the last Of the
old stock, and no one can eat one Of his din
ners bat will readily believe that he was
among the most able Of them all. The
''Paris" is a delightfully."- cool and airy place,
while Forget's wines and yiands are always
unexeeptionable and his prices very reason
able. He deserves to be patronized.

THE CONSTITUTION,

The Times questions the cOnstitotic.dlity
of General Mowers action in responding
to the request of Governor Warmoth for
a ssistance in the Jefferson City affair. o!
for an hour of Andy johnson, the great
constitutional FOUNDER. Why don't you
have the General fined, Mr.. Times, for au,-
constittionality, even as somebody did
General Jackson, before you came here,
for not fighting the battle of New Orleans
strictly in accordance with the Constitu-
ton? Constitution, Constitution, croaks
the patriotic Andy.

came in and an informal organization was
attempted to be effected, when the mem
bers fled out, one by one, thus turning
their backs upon the Mayor and bis So
called newly elected members. The upper
Board treated the Mayors call with even
more marked contempt. Not a single
member put in an appearance. Unless
the Mayor makes another effort on Mon
day night, which is hardly likely, the next
meeting of the Council will take place on
Tuesday, when lively time may be ex-
pected. We have reason to believe other
contestants will appear on that occasion
prepared to insist upon their rights. The
necessity for change in the Council was
never more urgent than at present

THE NORTH BRITISH AND MERCANTILE IN
sURANCE CoMPANY.-We invite the particu.
lar attention of our readers to the card of this
company, which appears in another column.
1t will be seen that our old and popular
fellow-citizen, Mr.. Douglas West, has been
appointed agent for New Orleans, which
wfll undoubtedly add to the favor in which
the company is already held among our
mercantile community. The "North Brit
ishp is a very old company, having been in
corporated as far back as 1S09-sixty years
ago. 1t has a capital and cash accumula-
tons amounting to $l4, 900, 600 in gold, and
has worldwide reputation for the strict
integrity which governs all its operations.
Mr.. Douglas West has established his Office
at No. 1870 Gravier street, up stairs, and is
prepared to issue policies on very reasona-
BILE terms upon all kinds OF fire risks usually
taken by the home insurance companies,
and in case of loss will pay here. We hope
thst he will receive full share of the public
patr Onage.

BoUDRo's REsTAURANT.-Who has not
not heard of this world-renowned estab-
lishment? 1t is household word all over
America, and the cooks of Paris mention
it with envy, but never with scorn. An in
stitution which has secured such a fame
should be held in proper generation by our
population-should be fostered, and liberal
ly supported. The people of New Orleans
should remember that it is one of the lega-
Giles handed down to them by former gen
Grafton, aud is as much entitled to respect
as is jackson Square and Place d'Arms.
We visited the time-honored aud justly
celebrated establishment yesterday, and
found Philippe Billman and Camors, the
able successors of the lsmented Boudro.
Having fully repaired the damages done to
the gardens and out-housea by the storm
last year, they are now prepared to enter
tain their friends with greater magnifcence
than ever. All who are fond Of dinner
which can not be excelled in the world, give
them a call.

THE UNwH1PPED OF JUSTICE.

Our criminal laws are administered with
that degree of lsxity and carlessness, Civ
ing to criminals feeling Of security which
should not exist. How few, for instance,
are punished for carrying concealed wea-
pons; the law is sufficiently stringent, and
yet how many escape punishment. The
sending of challenges to fight duels is a
crime punishable with some severity, but
because the sender enjoys sort of quasi
responsibility amongst a certain class,
those who administer the law become
lenient, and they escape with little or no
punishment. We could mention other
crimes, perpetrated daily, where judges,
with superabundance of the milk of hui
man kindness, permit the offenders to
escape with a slight fine or imprisonment,
when they should be serving out long
term in the PenitSntiary, at hard labor.
All this should change, and the laws ad-
ministered with that degree of severity as
to prevent those who are viciously inclined
from engaging in, or carrying into execu-
ton their nefarious purposes. The judges
must make examples of a few, regardless
of consequences; crime now on the rampage
must be stopped.
