IMPROBABILITIES BY THE CABLE.

The question whether correspondents
are to be allowed to accompany the con-
tending armies promises to become as
mooted as that concerning the identity of
Junius. We have had any number Of dis
patches on the subject, which are appar-
emily sent to contradict each other. Yes
terdays is intended as a clincher. It
states that all correspondents have been
finally expelled from both lines. To-day
we shall probably receive fiat denial.
The same random way of telegraphing
extends to everything else, and the reader
must exercise his judgment before accept
ing the news which comes over the cable.
In the dispatches Of yesterday may be re-
garded as improbable, for instance, that
which states that three hundred pounds
(S15OO) are being paid for substitutes in
Paris, and scarce at that. If the sum of
seven thousand five hundred francs were
paid, not an agriculturist or workman
would be out of the army, for such an
amount to poor man in France would be
enormous. This may be set down as one
of the improbable dispatches.
Another yesterday brings the intelli-
gence that the French have declined the
services of Generals Lee and Beauregard.
We are satisfied that the former never
offered.his services to the French or any
other government, and it is improbable,
although not equally SO, that the latter
general should have done SO. ...... .
Again, in yesterdays dispatches, those
coming from Metz tell us that General
Frossard, with one division, defeated three
divisions Of the Prussians at Saarbruck,
while those coming from Berlin. inform
US that the place was held by two compa-
MES, which abandoned the same and fell
back to their supports, adding that the
position was not regarded Of any military

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The street afforded no interesting topic
for comment yesterday. There was
| rather more movement in gold.
The prices during the day were about the
same as on Wednesday. The rate at New
York at ten o'clock was announced as
1919. Our dealers concluded to put
Wednesdays price up peg, and COM
menced the day at 121. By half-past ten
the New York figure was 1915, but no
change was made at that hour at New Or
leans. The Gotham fnanciers retired at
noon to their ten o'clock rate, and our
people fell back to 1907. At the close
New York had not altered the price, and
New Orleans had advanced to 121 again
Considerable amounts changed hands.
Slaughterhouse continue on the wane;
$18 was asked without eliciting a re-
spouse. No transactions were reported.
The mysterious influence Of the bears
seems all powerful just now with refer
ence to this stock.
Ship Island, like the canal, the COM
pany is supposed to have been organized
to dig, remains in statu quo. Until there
is some change from the mastery mac
tivity of the powers that rule in the City
Hall, there is no likelihood of any i'm
portant movement in the shares. We
may observe, for the comfort of anxious
walters, that the present condition of affairs
relative to the $4OO, 900 of bonds awaiting
official Endorsement, can not exist long
Large bodies sometimes move slowly, but
the mandate of court of justice some
times has pretty fair propelling power,
and if the city government does not
speedily find some tolerably strong bar
rier to interpose against the decision of
the Eighth District Court, they must yield
obedience as amiably as circumstances
will admit.
Fifty shares of Louisiana Lottery were
sold at SS5, without exciting any great
surprise At this rate of increase in pop
ular confidence, it will not be long before
we shall have to use three figures in
quoting lottery.
A small lot of Union Bank stock brought
s26 so yesterday. A disposition was
manifested to sell short in Bank of New
Orleans certificates, but we can give no
quotations.
A meeting of citizens opposed to the
removal Of the Red and Ouachita river
steamboat landing to some point further
up town, is called for seven P. NJ. to-
morrow, at the Merchants Exchange,
Royal street. There can be no doubt
that the steamboat interest referred to has
right to, complain of the accommoda-
tons afforded them in the location to
which they are now assigned. These
steamboats, have not wharfage enough,
and their facilities for doing

business are further seriously en-
croached on by the sugar sheds
and railway tracks. When the Red river
trade is fairly opened, and both the new
railway tracks are occupied by frequent
trains of cars, and the Sugar Shed Com
pany is in full blast, the steamboat men
Will find it next to impossible to properly
and expeditiously discharge and receive
freight This will operate to the serious
inconvenience, annoyance and damage of
our merchants, while it will be decided
injury to this branch of our steamboat
trade The merchants are equally inter-
ested with the steamboat men in the mat
ter OF the proper and expeditions hand
ling of freight, and should join with
them IN the effort to secure suitable ac-
commodations on the levee. There should
not be two landings for this business. It
would lead to endless confusion and
bother. Every steamboat man knows
that. The present landing can not well
be extended. The sugar sheds can be
avoided by moving the Red river landing
up the river. Trade is continually NOV
ing that way as population is. Neither
makes perceptible progress down stream.
This is in accordance with some mystic
rious rule, for it is fact, that the growth
ofpopulation and commerce in large cities
is almost invariably up stream.
The history of the city Of New Orleans
notably illustrates this rule. Now what
are our merchants, interested in the Red
river trade, to do under the circumstances?
We submit that their wisest course is one
of acquiesence in the proposed removal
They will probably find it for their interest
to follow the natural course of business,
and if any of them should be obliged to
move up town, they will find already
there large number in the same line of
ira fic, who will hail the change with salts
faction. Up town there is ample room
and verge enough for all.

6. 1t does not creak or crumbe, nor is it washed

CANcEL1NG THE DEBr-Mr. Secretary
Boutwell, has more than hundred mil
lions in gold on hand. Congress has
authorized him to buy and destroy five
twenty bonds to any amount he thinks
proper. And while the price rules low,
as at present, he will, it is said, take up
large sums, and thus put an end to the
payment Of interest. Fortune seems to
favor the Secretary in peculiar manner,

REDISTRIBUTION Or NATIONAL CUR
RENCY. ~ @ !,

The currency act, passed just before the
adjournment of Congress, provides for an
additional issue of national circulation of
s54. 600, 600, and the transfer of sos, 0OO,-
600 belonging to the New England banks,
| to the West and South. The original
national banking act provided that one
! half of the $500, 900, 900 should be allotted
to the States on the basis Of population,
and the other half on the basis of pre-
vious banking capital. But the Controller
of the Currency, Freeman Clark, in viola
ton of law, managed to allot to the
Eastern States s95,00O,O00 more than
their legal portion. The matter has at
tracted attention and elected earnest dis
cussion in and out Of Congress, and de-
termined effort made to repair the wrong
inflicted upon the Southern and Western
sections of the Union. The House Com
mittee on Banking, in a report made last
session, use the following language
But the most gIaring defect and injustice
in our present monetary system Is the I'M
equal allotment and distribution OF bank
circulation.
States containing less than one-third of
the population, densely settled and compact
in territory, using more largely checks and
credit accounts, and thus requiring less cur
rency, have been permitted to appropriate
more than three-fOlrths OF the bank circu-
latiOn authorized to be issued. This they
insist upon retaining. not for the needs of
their business, but for the greater profits
from its enjoyment. If existing legislation
has permitted or sanctioned the inequality,
its continuance can not be justified if its
correction without hardship is possible.
The committee is composed Of the fol-
lowing members James A. Garfield, of
Ohio John Lynch, of Maine Norman
B. Judd, Of Illinois John Coburn, of
Indiana Worthington G. Smith, of YER
mont John B. Packer, of Pennsylvania
