TUG BOATS TYLER AND ADMIRAL.

An article on the relative merits OF the above
named boats appeared i'll the REPUBLICAN OF the
twenty-tirst of August which was so utterly devoid
of truth that as part owner and commander OF the
Tyler feel constrained to reply TO it, and to state
the facts as they actually occurred.
The TYLER was employed by Mr. Dickson. carpen-
fer and decker to pump out the stern dock or
Golfer dam which was to be placed under the stern
of the steamship United States. On the morning OF
the nineteenth the dock reported ready for
pumping ont, and al A. NJ. the order was given TO
start the pump. Some delay occurred in placing
the dock as is usual in such cases: at $50 every
thing being ready, the water went down in five
minutes one foot, the pump working very slow
Mr. W. H. Brown the weknOwn diver, directed
the movement of the pump, and gave signals TO the
engineer to work slow and stop the pump at inter
walls, until the shores could be placed, which wor,
consumed several hours The pump was at no
time allowed to run up to its full capacity. When
the word was given that the dock secured and
the suction changed to get the proper depth fifteen
feet ofwater pumped out in torty-ive minutes,
notwithstanding the padding was partly misplaced
between the keel of the ship and forward part of
the dock, leaving space for tie water to rush in.
These leaks were stopped and the dock pumped
down to the timber, the pump was stopped and
suction pipes disconnected.
Mr.. Dickson expressed himself well satisfied, and
made the remark that he would rather pay the
Tyler double price for such work, it caused him
much less labor In conclusion, it may be well TO
state that the suction pipes of the Tyler's pumps
twelve inches in diameter, with a ten inch dis
charge while that of the Admiral is only five
inches, with three-inch discharge OF course it re-
quires science to perceive that the pumping
powers of the Tyler is more than five times that of
the Admiral. The above facts are attested by the
undersigned, gentlemen who witnessed the per-
Torrance of the Tyler.

What is said Of Democratic success
in Virginia may be said with equal pro-
priety of similar result in this State
that it would be a victory over the nation.
While we can not pretend to challenge
the motives and thoughts of large num-
Der of gentlemen who act with the Demo-
cratic party, we can not conceal from our
selves the lamentable fact that the majority
of that political organization in this State
are not thoroughly loyal to the constitu-
ton and the Union. The feeling is not
SO bitter now as it was four years ago, but
the lost cause is not dead as principle or
a possibility.

The New Orleans Democrat is what
might be styled a termagant in general,
but it sometimes strikes vein OF good
sense, which is like an oasis in the desert
of its defamation. In abiding to the at
tempt to prejudice the colored members
of the Republican Convention against the
Governor for his failure to sign what IS
known as the Isabelle bill, the Democrat
gives the Governor the credit Of having
withheld his signature to that law because
its provisions are manifestly unconstitu-
tional A few more such explanations and
the people of all classes will appreciate
the fact that Governor Warmoth is will
ing to resist even his own friends in order
to protect the constitution which he swore
to uphold and defend. The Democrat
says
The object of the preamble and resolution.
| offered by Larrieu, was to force Governor
Warmoth under the pressure of party
| necessity, to sign the Isabelle bill. This
was done well knowing that the enforce
ment of that bill. in case it became a law
| in a serious disturbance of the peace, If not
| riot and bloodshed. In fact. it was as good
| as admitted. that such would be the effect
of an attempt to enforce the provisions OF
that bill.
Fortunately for the good and peace Of
society, the drafter of the Isabelle bill i'll
serted provisions in the law, which are
clearly and unquestionably violative of the
organic law This being the case, the Gov
ernor made these unconstitutional pro
visions reason for refusing to sign the bill.
In doing so he showed a commendable dis
cretion well knowing that if he approved
the bill, there were ill-disposed cOlored
people who would attempt to avail them
selves of the privileges it was intended to
secure their race, even if they knew that
by so doing they would involve the
community in riot and bloodshed. We
| give the Governor credit for a very con
siderable degree OF discretion.
The same authority might have added
that the statute books and the constitu-
ton already embody laws which put it in
the power of every citizen to maintain his
political rights, and that the Governor
gave this as an additional reason why he
did not desire to cumulate laws on the
same subject.

This great city, which ought to be the
half way house to Europe, allows the DRIFT
wood from the upper Mississippi river to
float past her down, and lodge upon the
shores of Sweden, without learning the
lesson that this is the true and natural

Miami bottom to the harbors of the East.
Or if we ever learned it, that we never i'm
proved it. Content to quarrel with the
development of liberal thought and pro-

an instant that Brown would not turn
up-its very common name, and there
are numbers of men unfortunate enough

how one of the Browns of the last cam

If the sea serpent has not astonished
Nahant this year; if the ffty-nine year old
rattlesnake has not been discovered in
Tennessee, we can at least console our
selves that the annual bugaboo, which the
Democracy has been in the habit of par
arading over the country for the last thirty
years, has made its appearance just as
usual. 1t is being paraded before the peo-
pie with all the faces it used to wear,
smiling an incidentally protective tariff on
Massachusetts; grinning free trade in
South Carolina and Indiana; making faces
at the negroes in Connecticut, and kissing
them in louisiana in fact, genuine Pro-
teus-all things to all men. 1t is just
about as likely to be embraced as the sea-
serpent OR the rattlesnake, and ought to
disappear just as the other monsters have.
The world has seen and heard it Long
enough, and refuses to take any further
stock in it,

A collision occurred about July %, near
the Amazon river. in Brazil, between two
steamers. One of them sunk within half an
hour after the collision, with two hundred
passengers on board, and one hundred and
sixty of them were lost. She had cargo
on board valued at $4,000, without insur-
ance on either the vessel or cargo. The ac-
cident described occurred at the mouth OF
Madeira tver which is enc Of the tributa-

The Digbv case is still wearing along be-
fore the committing magistrate. The evil
dence is elaborated with care, and the de-
Tense and the prosecution fight it out with
all the vigor demanded by the merits OF the
case. Up TO yesterday nothing positive was
elected but when the little son of Mr.. Digby,
George, testified positively that the woman,
Louisa Murray. was the one that took his
sister away: and when Mr. George Singler
substantiated the same fact by his positive
oath that the defendant Louisa Murray,
was seen by him to take the child away, the
conviction of those who heard the testimony
rather settled down to the belief that
the officers Of the law had got possession OF
the proper parties. As it is so difficult 10
establish matter OF personal identity,
however, we are not justified as yet in say
ing what the final result will be. All we
do hope in the matter is that the ends OF
Justice may be accomplished.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The Louisiana Savings Bank, an lnstltu-
ton that is gradually winning for itself
the place it deserves in the confidence OF
the community, will remove from Gravler
street to the substantial new building IN
process of erection, at No. 81 Camp street,
on or before the first of October. The ac-
commodations which the bank has pro-
vided for itself seem to be almost enough
to inspire absolute trust In the safety OF
deposits entrusted to its keeping.
Mr.. John S. Walton, the present
Administrator of the city finances, and
late assistant United States Treasurer IS
the cashier and manager of the bank.
This gentleman's reputation is enough to
insure the popularity of the institution
while he retains his connection with it,
and his undertaking fidelity and careful
attention to business are the best guaran-
tees for its success.
The new bank, the Hibernia, Of which
our old friend, Mr.. Patrick Irwin, Is the
president, will be established at No. AZ
Camp street, some time from the first to
the fifth of next month. While the pre-
sent president remains at its head, there
will be no doubt as to the absolute safety
of this bank. The history of Mr.. Irwin,
as citizen of New Orleans, is well known
to every one who has lived here long
enough to know anything of the record OF
the citys growth. The financial ability
that has raised him from small beginnings
to his now influential monetary position,
is precisely what the new bank will need,
and that this ability will be exercised to
the lasting advantage of the bank, is a
matter of complete certainty. Deposltors
in the Hibernia need not fear that their
money will be dissipated in wild specula-
ton, or loaned to irresponsible parties.
There was quite a good demand for
gold yesterday. The gold market of New
York always very sensitive, responds like
| a barometer to the transitions OF popular
feeling with reference to the European
war. With pervading belief il Prusslan
success, the rate for gold falls. When
France has a show of good fortune, the
mercury rises. So, yesterday the cable
kilograms having convinced Wall street
| that there was some chance for Napoleon,
gold went up, and the market became
tolerably lively. The New York rates
were as follows: At ten, 1l6; at half-past,
1155; at noon, 1l65, and at three, l16ss.
Our dealers bought at from 116 to 1l6l,
and sold at from 116i to 116!.
Thirty-fve hundred dollars in levee
warrants sold at sd. Eleven hundred
dollars in Metropolitans brought 96i.
Three hundred shares Of Navigation were
| disposed of at 81 %. One hundred dol
lars in City Waterworks bonds were re-
allied on at the rate of Sc cents on the
dollar. For Louisiana Lottery $50 was
asked, though holders generally have
higher pretensions. Many transactions,
not reported, undoubtedly took place,
but in the language of one of our brokers,
victims are slaughtered for individual
profit in these days and until the Broh'
ers' Board resumes its meetings, we can
not expect to get anything like fair re
port of the streets doings.

It troubles the New York World to

A new and very bilious organ of the
Democracy, which is circulated under the
auspices of Hatch's Central Committee.
saws that the fifteenth amendment is not a
matter of dispute in the present contest.
The reason why, as it is innocently given,
is that the issue about the fifteenth amend
ment can he settled at another time. but
now the prime necessity is to grapple with
the constitution Of 1868. Until that dOcu-
ment is modified the repeal of the amend
ment will not mend matters; but, with the
State constitution modified, the fight can
then be made in the courts against the va
iditv of the votes that ratified the amend
ment. 1t is necessary for the opposition to
make these little things public, in order to
quiet the honest old fools in the Democracy
who believe that an honest fight ought to
be made in politics as an honest compliance
ought to follow contract. We shall see
whether this new temptation will succeed.
