feet that such tariff enhances the prices of

necessarily, and ibtiariv, enhance the cost
Of the article to the consumer; and it is doub-

we call attention 10 the following list Of prices
Of the same class Of goods in 1860, under a

Stoves are comparatively of recent
general use, though they were IN this
country as early as l19e. In that year
Mr.. Pettibone, Of Philadelphia, was
granted patent Tor a stove which was
claimed to be capable OF warming hous
es by pure heated air. Pettibone'
stove was soon after put iii the aims
house at Philadelphia, and Drs. James
and Chapman, and several members o.
Congress, gave testimonials OF its util
ity for warming and sentilating church
es, courts Of justice, hospitals, manu-.
factories, etc. THIS was probably the
first attempt to use stoves, at least in
this country.
The first advance toward cooking
stove was the Franklin stove with an
oven; and the first thai deserve eS the

affair, having an oven running the whole

IN CaRONDELET STREET,

There was something of tremor in the
street yesterday, caused by a slight re-
action in gold, the last dispatches from
New York quoting the price at ll14.
There can be little doubt that this advance
is only the natural reaction consequent on
the oversales of gold during the previous
three days. The panic was such that
large amount was suddenly thrown on the
market, and thus the fall was accelerated.
A recovery to the normal point, on the
subsistence of the furry, is a legitimate
consequence, and does not indicate any
modification of the general causes pro-
ducing the decline. These causes are still
in full operation, and there is no symptom OF
their abatement. In considering the effects
of the fall, should it continue until green
backs reach par, We must not be too sure
that a general decline Of prices is to be
the consequence. On the contrary, 1t may
reasonably be presumed that values, as
represented in gold, will be more apt to
expand. We have now $500 100000 Of
paper circulation, the purchasing power of
which has been only $500, 100000: If gold
and greenbacks were at par, the purchas-
ing power would equal 500 900, 900, and
the circulation available for commercial
purchaoes would be increased
by about $500, 100000 of specie.
Thus the circulation would be
81, 900 100000, and, in face of this
increase, it is impossible safely to predict
a general fall in prices. There would be
real and healthy expansion-not by any
means resembling an expansion caused by
an issue Of inconvertible paper. It is
true that, during the pressure caused by
the decline, prices may fall, but they fol-
low gold reluc family in its downward
course, and they will, in all probability,
react if we should reach specie basis.
Leaving out cotton, the price of which has
fallen principally on account Of the large
crop, the following table from the Chicago
Tribune shows that in the actual currency
quotations there has been no general de-
cline-corn and pork being lower, and
wheat being higher:
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-03-11

One of the characteristics of the street
yesterday, was marked tendency to ad-
vance in State warrants and Metropolitans.
Lottery stock is going up, and there
were several inquiries for it yesterday.
The price seems to be about %, although
perhaps, higher figure could be obtained
for it. The adyanue is probably caused by
movement to buy in the stock,
on the part of some of the managers, as
well as by belief that the institution is
in fourishing condition and now safe
from legislative interference.
Ship Island was more buoyant yester-
day, under the favorable report Of the
majority of the special committee.
Petroleum likewise was stronger, and
is now worth about $40.
Mississippi Valley Navigation continues
to command attention, and much conf
dence is expressed in the future Of this
company. Its shows that there is some
thing solid aud substantial for its stock to
repose upon.
The following were the transactions at
the board last night:

THE CITY CHARTER,

The Senate was occupied nearly all OF
last evening in considering the city char
ter. As the bill came from the House. IL
embraced the plan to consolidate Jefferson
City and Algiers with New Orleans ana
create six municipal districts. Also a
plan to provide for the issue Of bonds 10
pay the floating debt of the city. bo'h
these features were struck out in the Sen
ate. and, as thus amended, the bill was
finally adopted, under suspension OF the
rules.
The bill, as it has passed the Senate,
does not change the present limits Of the
city, but contains the provision for the
bureau system. A Mayor and seven Ad-
ministrators of Departments are to be ap
pointed by the Governor, by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate. An
amendment offered by Senator Braughn,
to submit the charter to the popular vote;
and another by Senator Blackman, to re-
quire the confirmation of the appointees by
the Senate before going into Office, and
continuing the present incumbents until
such confirmation, were voted down. The
motion to lay the latter amendment on the
table resulted in tie vote, when Lieuten'
ant Governor Dunn decided the question
by voting in the affirmative.
The amendments of the Senate are SO
numerous, and change the character OF the
bill so materially, that it is believed
committee of conference will be necessary
to reconcile the differences. But nc
doubt is entertained that the Legislature
will give US a new charter, with or without
consolidation, which seems at present tc
be the only material point of disagree
ment between the two houses. The sec.
tons providing for paying the city
debts, and which were stricken
out by the Senate, have already been EN-.
bodied in another bill, which has been
passed. So the House will not be likely
to insist upon reinstating them when the
bill again comes up in that body. And
we have every reason to believe that an
agreement may be had upon the main fea.
lures of the bill, which are to give US q
new charter, which will materially reform.
our system of municipal government.

LEIGHTON Enough for the reader to ar.
ticulate a name, SO long and faVorably

involnntarily fitting through his mind VS.
ions of elegant French shirts and gentle
mems furnishing goods of every type and
variety, fine, without flourish Of newspaper
trumpets, and cheap, without the bolstering
of empty braggacocio. We like this digni-
fed style of conducting business. 6uperla-
tives have not, it is true, played out" as
the vulgarism has it, utthey have assured
ly lost their weight and efficacy on sensible
and observant minds. Mr.. Leighton makes
no pretensions to prices that amount, osten-
siby, to gratuities. Nor does he exalt the
standard of his goods by bordering them
with adjective properties, like the finest or
the best. He claims simply to sell at living
figures, and personal experience justifies US
in the conviction that he acts up faithfully
to his assumptions. His shirts, especially
his Charvets," are absolutely recherche,
and. like his varied and assorted stock Of
gentlemen's furnishing goods generally, such
as we would anticipate from man whoee
twenty years. experience has synonomised
the name Of Leighton with "Leighton's
