ON CARONDELET STREET.

If the shares sold from day to day upon
Carondelet street represented more money,
quite a respectable business might be re-
corded for the beginning of summer.
Even as it is, the traffic excites good
deal of interest occasionally, and some
one makes money, if not fortune, every
day. If our trade in securities, or things
technically termed so, does not afford
much chance for reaping great profits, it is
all the safer for that, and no one is dis
posed to complain of this day of small
things.
Slaughterhouse gained yesterday and
closed firm. Cash sales of $50 shares, in
lots, were reported to US at from S29 so to
$50. A time sale after the board adj
journed, and at lower figure, was spoken
Of Predictions are plentiful, and bets by
no means scarce as to the future of this
stock. Confidence and uncertainty seem
pretty evenly balanced just now. Ger
tainly, if the writ of error to the United
States Supreme Court fails, it will be the
fault of the managers if this company
does not do an immensely profitable bust
ness, but that is an "if' that troubles a
considerable number. The Delay appre-
hended before decision can be reached
is at present the great rub, but it will,
probably, afford plenty of opportunity for
making a football of the stock for the di-
version of the street, and we may expect
to see it knocked hither and thither until
the weather is too severe for the exercise.
The course of Ship Island yesterday
was noteworthy. Thursday evening 81 10
was a fair quotation, and at about that
figure the market opened next morning.
Five hundred shares were then sold at
81 IL; then $50 at 81 l25, aud the same
amount at 81 Is, buyers option, ten
days. When the board met there seemed
quite difference of opinion as to the value
of the stock, 81 80 being the first ask
ing price to ST ~ bid.
One hundred shares were disposed of at
ST. 12I, and Immediately afterward
another hundred went at ST III. AS
soon as adjournment was effected, 500
shares were sold for the last named fig
ure, and 81 20 was offered with no takers,
An offer to sell 400 shares at 81 Is was
Immediately after snapped up, and the
closing price was established by sale Of
1900 at the same rate. Pretty well for
Ship Island and its hackers.
In levee stock there was very little
movement. Twenty-Five shares were de-
livered at $40 rs, and fifty at S12 25. In
some quarters a suspicion seemed to be
shrewdly entertained that something i'm.
portant was soon to happen with reference
to the affairs of the Valley Levee Com
pany; but all this is at present very myste-
rious.
The following shows the state of affairs
az the Brokers Board last night:

southern Faciae Railroad.

The Shreveport Southeastern has the fol-
lowing report Of railroad matters up there:
The Seminole brought up on Sunday the
new locomotive for the Southern Pacific
Railroad, seven hundred and four bars iron
and one hundred and ninety.twO packages
of appurtenances belonging to the road. 1t
is a twenty.seven ton locomotive-above
the average size, being one ton heavier than
the B NJ johnson, two tons heavier than
the NJ rshall and nine tons heavier than the
SeynJsur. Mr.. Dickson, superintendent OF
the sad, informs US that it was put up at
the Rogers locomotive works, Patterson,
Ne Jersey, and that similar one. will be
re eived here within q month. which was
b ailt at the Grant locomotive works at the
came place. Mr.. Dickson also informs US
Shat the company are now having built at
Hallville two new passenger cars, thirty
box and ten gravel cars.
Thus, with five locomotives and the ad-
ditional freight and passenger cars under
way, we may safely assume that the COM
pany will enter into the next season pre-
pared to do all the business that offers, with
promptness and to the satisfaction of the
public. In view of this desirable consum:.
nation. we congratulate the aforesaid
public and compliment the officers OF the
road for the efficiency evinced in the man
agement thereof.

SHALL WE ABOLISH TRIAL BY JURY

SHALL WE ABOLISH TRIAL BY JURY
At each interval in capital trials, if we
measure through years back, the progress
of criminal justice throughout the coun-
try, we recall some expression, in many
cases both loud and deep. of popular dis
satisfaction with the verdict that turned
anew upon society some guilty murderer,
unwhipt of justice. Many years ago, in Lou
isiana, as well as other States, this expe-
rience led to a change in legislation,
leaving it discretionary with the jury to
convict without capital punishment. 1t,
however, was wholly Ineffective as cure,
escape being still the rule everywhere,
and conviction the exception. The cause
lay deeper tha1 was supposed. 1t Is to
be found in the human character. as devel-
oped by the prevailing civilization, IN the
selfshness of man, recklessness Of human
life, insensiaility to wrong and woful lack
of the element of fraternity. Within the
recollection of the oldest people no oiher
retrospect is found than this repeated cry
of public resentment, between the inter-
walls forgotten, and always OF their recur-
renee renewed. From the day, thirty-six
years ago. of the trial of Richard P. Robin
son, in New York, for the wanton murder
of the cyprian, Helen Jewett, down to that
of Daniel Mcfarland, tits one undivided
testimony to the momentous fact that
criminal justice is mockery, and criminal
trials are farce. To be sure, there are
occasional convictions. Now and then
some unmitigated brute, like Reynolds,
now awaiting the death penalty, fails to
inspire with sympathy this false civiliza-
ton, and falls short of the customary
verdict. These are punished condignly-
offered, it might seem, as incense to the
offended god of public justice. But that
is all. The wrongs Of society remain un-
appeased, and uninterruptedly continue
on, in all communities alike, until to-day
it is seriously questioned whether il
can be that there is no remedy for the
evil. We approach the subject satisfied
that there is, and chat we have called it by
it's name, at the heading Of this article.

LIN ahe recent Judicial election in the State

The New York Commercial Advertiser
pertinently says:
Mcfarland is making bad use of his lib
erty in publishing the private letters Of his
wife. The community is tired OF this scan-
dial, and will be grateful for little rest.
These letters contain nothing to justify
their publication, inasmuch as her own
statement admits all that they are adduced
to show. That q wife can requite drunken
and gentle words, is not now for the first
time established.
