THE NEW FRENCH MINISTER,

Mons. the Viscount de Treilhard, the
new French Minister at Washington,
waited on the President on Friday last,
when presenting his credentials, in plain
suit of citizeh's clothes, such as We Repub-
icans wear. He did not know positively
what form Of government he represented,
since he accredited himself as .he Minis
ter Of the Nationsl Defense: but he ac-
cepted the idea that he steod before the
republic of the United States as the repre-
sentative Of the republic CT France, be-
cause he dressed to suit that character,
He was clothed in conformity with She
simplicity Of republican institutions, and
the President received him as the Minister
Of France.
Viscount de Treiihard succeeds NJ
Paradol, who, as the minister of NAPOLEON,
would have taken leave of the President in
an elaborate ft-oat corresponding to his
imperial Office. Gold lace ana decora-
lions would have 1iecked his clothing from
head to heel, and the footnlan st the door
of his carriage would have been more
highly adorned than the envoy who now
holds intercourse with our government as
the representative Of France. What next
may well be risked in this connection !?
VIII Mons. the Viscount, continue to
wear his plain clothes for six months, and
shall the summer sun of the fast approach
ing new year see him replaced by new
minister, all lace and tinsei Washington
society, no doubt, would prefer the
change, but is the revelation in France
strong enough to hold its own and supply
US with minister and 7iscount in plain
clothes,

THE RISE IN THE OHIO.

At last we have good news froza the
Ohio river. The dispatches report seven
feet at Pittsburg, and rising, with water
enough to let out coal. We have been in
danger of coal famine here. Som2 deal
ers endeavored on the frst November to
put the price UP to 81 %, but were de-
feated by the fynness Of less grssping
men. More recently 81 so has been
named as the price they ought to receive,
and it would havecomesto that beforespring
if the Ohio river had zanainec low. We
are specially indebted 10 two large firms
for the privilege of buying coal during the
past six weeks at 81. And now the river
is up, and g feet OF eonl .barges ready to
start, down the river, We hope prices here
will fall at once. The article can be had
st fifty cents per barrel from the barges,
within month. There Is now Oh sale in
this city enough TO last the winter through,
and hence dealers will de q wise thing to
'unload before the price falls below point
where profit begins.

4 DOMESTIC PROSPECT.

a very proper way to settle q serious
matter WIS developed ia Chicago last
week, when the wife Of 1. man who had
eloped with the servant girl pursued the
flying lovers with success, and, coming
up to them at wayside tavern, thrashed
the erring female until she consented to
forget and. forego the captive husband.
This part Of the business being arranged,
the gallant wife conveyed her husband
back to his deserted home, and made him
agree to stay there.
This results from the enlarged sphere
which has been demanded for woman. She
is contending for her rights in full, and
what greater privilege can she have than
to reclaim an erring husband from life
Of misery and guilt2 The full perfection
of this new idea would suggest the proper
education Of the female sex in the mus
cular text. A virtuous and indignant
wife, with her muscle in good training,
would be more than q match for any
waiting girl. who might guiltily corrupt
and seduce from his own home the lord
of the premises.

THE OFFICE OF ADMIRAL.

A prominent Republican paper in Mas
sachusetts proposes, with great probabiii-
ty that the proposition will be successful,
that the Office of admiral be left in the
keeping of the American people until
another man like Farragut shall arise to
merit it as reward for his services For
reasons that seemingly do not satisfy the
lower house of Congress, Vice Admiral
D. D. Porter has been nominated to The
vacant Office of admiral, and resolution
has been passed in that body to abolish
the Office. This is evidently double
edged motion. Its first design is to de-
clare that the people desire to hold in
their own hands some reward with which
to honor the highest patriotism hereafter.
IF the ONCE of admiral, which was created
to distinguish great and heroic chieftain,
should be continued in perpetuity, when
another Farragut arises the republic
would have to create a new and higher
grade if it ever felt like testifying its
gratitude and admiration by promoting a
more than ordinarily meritorious officer.
President Grant finds the Office in
existence and vacant, and he necessarily
proceeds to fill it. His choice has fallen
OF the Vice Admiral, who has been in
charge of the Navy Department under
Secretaries Borie and Robson. This
act of promotion has not been ratified
by the voice of the people, nor by the
votes of their representatives. It is the
universal sentiment that the Office should
expire; and even those who lately felt
inclined to let things take their regular
course in the promotion Of Porter, now
join hands with the mass that demands
the extinction of the dignity. The posi-
ton which D. d. Porter has fallen into
lately is not favorable to his reputation.
The letter which he wrote to SecIe-
tary Welles in 1865 is accepted
as an ebulition Of feeling that
almost any man of nervous temperament
might have written. If it had been
gracefully acknowledged and politely
treated as mistake, the good sense of the
public would have passed it by as mis-
take, not to be remembered against the
author. But when Mr.. Porter entered on
his preyaricating course in the first place,
and then descended to the weakness Of
calling in question the honesty Of his own
utterances, the country felt that he had
forfeited his claim to be considered a
worthy successor Of the naval hero who
had been honored with the title of Admi-
raj. Porter has never been favorite,
either with the army or the navy. His
record is one Of pretension and conten-
ton. In several instances he has quar-
relied with his associates, and sometimes
with his superiors, about rank and SER
vices. But these things have not been re-
membered againstehim, andswould not be
now, except to justify Congress in reftls-
ing to confer the title of Admiral upon
him.

We are in favor Of the strictest economy
in the administration Of public affairs
We intend to require. Of our officials tina,
they shall expend as little Of the public
funds as possible, and always pay the
lowest cash prices. But we can not ex.
pect them to get things for nothing. II
services or material are required for pub
lie use, they shonld be paid for, and
promptly, too. For this reason We dis
sent from the views expressed in the fol
lowing extract from the Times report OF
the Council proceedings:
A bill of w. X. Fish, Recorder of Con
veyances, who charges the Council fifty
cents for each certificate of conveyance
given, although he is required by article
| 3I64, Revised Statutes, to furnish a monthly
! free account of such, brought Mr.. BonzanO
to his feet, who stated that the city paid 81
this manner $50 or $500 per month. The
bill was referred.
We give, to illustrate the case, sections
1853 aad 1854 of the Revised Statutes, by
which it will be seen that there is no re-
quirement that the Register of Convey
ances shall discharge the duty imposed
upon him free of charge:
Sec. 1863 The Register of Convey
ances of the city Of New Orleans shall be
entitled to the following fees Of Office, and
no other or greater fees shall ever be re-
ccived or demanded by him: For each
registry of Il conveyance. Ope dollar; for
each alienation. or Gny other certificate re-
quired OF him, fifty cents.
Sec. 3l64. 1t shall also be the duty Of the
Register Of Conveyances, every month, to
transfer to the Board OF Assessors OF New
Orleans, list of all conyeyaDccs recorded
in his Office during the month.
Here We have in two consecutive Sec
tons fee bill and an order to discharge
certain duties every month under it. The
Register receives no salary from the city
or the State. Neither, therefore, can i'm
pose duties upon him without compensa-
ton. In the discharge Of their official
duties, the assessors of New Orleans re-
quire prompt and accurate information Of
the transfers of real estate. The law has
imposed the duty Of furnishing this in
formation upon the Register, who is a
responsible official, and under bonds for
the faithful performance of all his duties.
He must furnish certificates Of convey
ance Of real estate to all applicants, IN
der penalty OF paying any damages that
may be sustained. any demand for
certificate is mandatory upon him, and he
can not refuse. The obligation to pay
his fees by applicants is quite as binding
on them, however, and he is as clearly
entitled to demand pay for his services as
any other person who gives his time for
the benefit of the city.

Lafayette square, although it is not the
leaty and fowery time of year, puts on a
gay appearance of winter-like soberness,
however. The trunks Of the trees have
been whitewashed up to o height Of nine
or ten feet, and the iron fence that sur
rounds the square is freshened up by coat
of coal-tar paint. Yesterday morning
wsrkmen were busy in painting the fence
Of jackson square in the same manner;
and we believe that all the public squares
in the city will get their share of the same
freshening

hope that an adjustment and reconciliation
may vet be made.

II. s. McComb, President of the jackson
Railroad Company, is expected to arrive in
the city to-day. He has been for several
days inspecting tho track, rolling stock,
stations, etc, and has made such arrange
ments and given such orders as will secure
the rapid movement of cotton to this mar
ket. No consignment will be permitted to
remain at any station longer than twenty
four hours. This will be very gratifying
news to shippers along the road.

NEW ORLEANS RFPUBIICAN THURsDAY DEGEaBRR IS l87o
on 0ARoTDE1Rr STREET.

After quiet morning yesterday, . sud-
den movement in Slaughtezhouse stock
sprang up in Carondelet street during the
afternoon. The stock had seemed weak,
the day before, at 23a, and was offered
yesterday morning at FL. without finding
purchasers. Later in the day we'll
known operator appeared on the street.
| and in less than ten minutes had quietly
gobbled up more than eight hundred
shares. His purchases were rs follows:
500 shares at "a, 100 at "a l-16, 9 at PAT,
SO at 224f,2O0 at q, and AZ at "a; total, 9O6
| shares. This large purchase. Of course,
excited much comment, and many specu-
lations were INDUCED in as to the views
of the bold operator. Many theories were
formed, some of which are probably cor
rect. If SO, few days will suffice to de-
velop the truth. At the board, fifty shares
were sold at 24l, and, after the board,
ahout 100 more at "a.
During the last few days there has been
much discussion between the -.roKers and
the lawyers as to the liability of banks on
certified checks. The question arises out
Of the recent frauds Of the enterprising
Western whisky house of Clayton,
Williams & Co. 1t will be remembered
that the Louisiana State Bank sent check
to the Germaria to be certified. The GER
tifcate was given, and the check paid by
the Louisiana State. But the check was
forgery, and it is understood that the
Germania claims to be released from re-
spopsitiiity in consequence. The brokers
almost unanimously take the ground that
the certificate is guarantee and
an Endorsement, which make the
certifying bank liable. The law
yers, on the contrary, maintain
that the Certificate assumes the check to
be genuine, and is only On agreement to
pay the amount called for by the person
purporting to draw the check. In other
words it is o certificate that that persons
check, so certified, is good for the amount
for which 1t is drawn. But If the check
is forgery, it is not his check, and hence
has not been guaranteed. 1t is absurd,
the lawyers say. to suppose that a bank
can indorse a forged check. At last &c
counts the controversy was very warm,
and both parties adhered to their respec-
tive opinions with great tenacity.
Gold sold yesterday at l10s. Among
the sales of stock were one share Of Bar
BARN at 135.
The second installment of SIS per share
on ordinary Calcasieu Sulphur stock is
payable to-day. The anticipation of this
payment has made the stock a little weaker
during the last few days.
The following were the bids and offers
al the board last night:

The first of the series Of concerts in con-
nection with the French Bazaar, at the st.
Louis Hotel, took place last evening. We
do not attempt to particularize the perfor-
nance, which was very fine throughout.
The first piece, executed by Mile. D..
Romey, was splendid piece of harmonic
adaptation. The "Marseillaise" was played
with the right hand, and the "Bonny Blue
Flag arranged to harmonic, was played
with the left hand. The concert saloon was
crowded to excess, although there was not
sufficient room for the multitudes who
thronged the Bazaar.
The splendid square Cmckerlng piano
used at the concert, was selected oy Mr. y.
collignon, from tho large stock at biao1-
mare Temple Of Music.

When the Varieties Theatre was burned,
ii became subject, among others, of great
regret, that the fine theatrical company en-
yaged there for the season would no longer
delight the play-gocrs Of orr city. 1t Is
gratifying to. know that this regret will be
at least partially obyiated, for the Varieties
company have been engaged, through their
late kader, Mr.. Lewis Baker, by Messrs.
Spalding, Bidwell g. McDonogh, to give q
series Of representations at Mobile, Mem
phis, St. Louis and this city. The company
will commence their engagement at Mobile
on Monday next, and, after playing at the
