muchwas owing to her. Thistask he has
accomplished, but it has been herculean
one. We venture the assertion that, until
lately, no human being has been
aware of the city's financial posi-
ton. The new Council, has done more
than that. Means have been provided for
paying in cash all current municipal ex-
penses, and for meeting all interest
claims as they accrue on the city's debt
without borrowing a picayune. The city
now funds its back debt, and pays interest
on it without delay, and for accruing
obligations it pays cash. The city bust
ness is now managed as any well ordered
counting room is conducted, and the
value of the new charter is manifested by
the improved condition of the citys
credit.
The Union Bank, we understand, has
concluded to declare no dividend this
half year. The bank, it is understood,
has met with some losses, yet it could
pay dividend as readily as several other
financial institutions, which have divided
"protit" as usual, but for the good sense
Of its directors. The present position OF
money matters breaches caution to sensible
men, and the conservative action Of the
Union Bank management deserves APP
plause, and should enhance the value Of
the stock. When money is worth in New
Orleans from one to five per cent month,
it is time to keep good lookout for break
ers ahead.
There was some talk about the stock OF
the Canal and Claiborne street railroad.
No transactions were reported, but the
shares were held at from $50 to $50 so.
We had no ten o'clock dispatch from
Wall street. At half-past gold was rated
there at 1919 to 1911. At noon the Goth
am price was 1919, while our figure was
from 1909 to 1909. By three o'clock the
New York market had fallen to 1909, and
our fnanciers acquiesced in the price, and
held at the same rate. There was little
done in gold during the day. Our market
was thrown into anything but good order
by the decline in New York.
Taking all things together, Carondelet
street has seldom seen duller day than
Friday, the twenty-ninth of July, 1870.

MALAKoFF RIrTERs. - This celebrated
tonic is manufactured and sold by n. kietfer,
importer and dealer in wines, liquors, ale
and lager beer, at No. II Rampant street.
Since its introduction to the public, nearly
four years ago, it has become a great favor
tie in public estimation, and forms one of
the articles indispensable to tirst-class sa-
loon. But the private sideboard is the place
where it is in especial request. 1t is pleas
ant to the taste and in its effect, and an
swers all the better purposes of an early
cocktail, without its rOughness. The inven-
ton has been protected by letters patent,
dated September -, 1866. If any of our
friends wish to try "a sample. they will find
Mr. Kieffer ready to afford abundant evil
dence, either oral, written or practical.

A BIENTOT.

However uncertain others may be in
reference to the duration of hostilities, the
Emperor is not. AS the train leaves he
waves an adieu, and says ga bientot, as
if he We're off on a short excursion.
Napoleon's idea is in accordance with that
general prediction, that the thing is to be
short, sharp and decisive.
But man is liable to err when he takes
to prophesying on the length Of wars. To
90 no further back than our own, signal
instance was furnished in the prediction
that our campaign would last but ninety
days. Yet, let US hope, in the interests
of humanity, that the Emperor's notion
may prove correct Should the war last
as long as ours did, the fate Of France and
Prussia will be that Of the Kilkenny cats.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The brokers ought to accomplish lit
tie more than they now do for the credit
Of New Orleans and the financial frater-
nifty; but if their patrons absolutely re-
fuse to participate in any stunning opera
tons during the warm weather, the
brokers are not to be blamed for now and
then resting on their oars. Yesterday
was miserably dull day. We have not
seen chance to notice, outside of gold,
real rise or fall.
Nothing was reported in Slaughter
house. As to Ship Island it is difficult
matter to say anything. Before courts
there is maxim against taking any
notice of insignificant things: "De mini
mis- non carat lea"
The point is being pressed more ur-
gently than ever by the numerous stock
holders Of the Ship Island Canal Com
pany that the city should abandon its ef
forts (Which, considering the decisions of
nearly all the courts, are likely to prove
futile), in opposition to the performance
by this company of the duties assigned it
by the Legislature.
Our entire system of drainage needs
reform to place the city of New Orleans
on her proper level among the CONNER
cial emporiums of the world. We should
conform to the demands of the spirit of
the age in matters of public health and
improvement. The system under which
we live-that Of the Drainage Commits
sioners created by the law of 1S5S-has
been demonstrated as inadequate to the
wants and requirements of this great city.
The purposes of the Legislature in
creating the Ship Island Canal Company,
and in confding to it the general execution
of new plan of drainage, was certainly
an advance on the plan of 1858. The
present law judiciously provides safe
guards to prevent any misrepresentation of
the funds to be collected by taxation for
the purpose of drainage.
Sales Of stock showed decline. Four
hundred shares sold for GA cents and 500
for 60. A sale of 1875 shares Of Valley
Levee was effected at 81 81, and another
lot of $50 shares was disposed Of at the
same price.
Round amounts of city ten per cents
were sold at IS and 95!. There were no
transactions reported in municipal seven
per cents, but they were offered at "a and
745. Public confidence in city securities
has been very much improved of late, not
withstanding adverse criticisms from the
press, instigated by political schemers.
There is no doubt on the part Of unpre-
JUDGED persons, who have taken time
for investigation, that the present
city government has adopted wise
policy with reference to the city
Indebtedness. There is nothing in
the condition of our city finances
that should pnzzle wide awake merchant
acquainted with the plain rules OF book
keeping, and the difference between debit
and credit. The Administrator Of Ac-
counts laid out for himself the work Of
ascertaining what the city owed, and how

IMPROVED CONCRETE PAVEMENT,

The following are few of the reasons why this
CONCRETE should be used in preference to al
other materials
l. It has been tested through of the hottest OF
New Orleans summers, and found lot TO soften by
the heat of the sun.
2 Being in general use at the North, it necessa-
rily must be proof against cold.
g. 1t is as durable as stone and much less expen'
sive.
T. 1t is perfectly impervious to water, and conse-
quently quickly becomes dry when wet.
S. 1t makes 10 dust in dry mud in wet wea-
Their
g. 1t does not creak or crumble, nor is it washed
by the rain.
T. 1t is impenetrable to grass, weeds or water.
6. 1t prevents noxious vaPors or gases arising
from the ground beneath, and affords reservoirs
for filth or fostering decompositiOns.
9. 1t is laid down quickly, and ready for use
when finished.
TO- 1t is easily taken up, easily relaid and easily
repaired when necessary.

There has been a curious fatality within a
few years past among the chiefs of ordnance
at Washington. Captain Henry A. Wise
(Los Gringos Wise), chief Of the bureau of
ordnance in the army, is dead. General
Ripley, chief of ordnance in the navy, is
dead. Captain Aulick, assistant chief of
ordnance in the navy, is dead. And now
Admiral Dahlgren, chief of ordinance in the
navy, is dead. General A. B. Dyer, chief of
ordnance in the army, remains. Strange,
says the Tribune, that the only Dyer among
