IN THE VATICAN.

The mitred dignataries Of the church
continue to occupy themselves in the
Vatican about anathemas and dogmas, in
the spirit Of priests of the middle ages,
while all Europe is exercised to the last
degree about the impending war, which,
if it comes, may have the effect OF bring
ing down the walls about their ears, while
they are still in tardy discussion concern
ing some musty, abstruse question on
miracles or what not. r
When the hands of Napoleon are tied
with war against Prussia, liberal Italians
are not likely to let such an opportunity
pass without taking advantage Of it, and
marching straight for Rome. In such a
case French troops could not defend that
city, and the Papal soldiers would Offer
but mild opposition to the enthusiastic
cohorts of Garibaldi.
In the face Of passing events, one would
think that Pope and Cardinals might find
the consideration of some other theme
more practicable, than the worn out
themes which at present occupy them
the preservation, for instance, Of the tenn
poral and spiritual power Of the church.
Doubtless they put their trust in the Lord,
in which case they do well, but at the
same time, in the words of one Of on,
revolutionary heroes, they would do bet
ter to keep their powder dry.

We can compliment the new manage
ment of the Jackson railroad for their
earnest efforts to accommodate the public
by reduced fares, lightning passenger trains,
superior cars and fast freight trains at low
rates. The Jackson and Mississippi Cen
tral roads ought to be consolidated into one
company. and the time is not remote prob
ably when they will be. But the two roads
now run their passenger coaches and bag
gage cars over the entire route without
change. The A. NJ. train makes close con-
nections for Vicksburg, Memphis, St. Louis,
Chicago and all points beyond, with sleep
ing ears at night, from Canton to Grand
Junction and Humboldt. The AIS P. NJ.
train makes close connections with light
ming express trains to all points North,
East and West. Time to New York only
seventy hours. New and elegant sleeping
cars run through to Humboldt, Cleveland
and Louisville. See advertisement.

THE PILGRIM FATHERS AND THE
SLAVE TRADE 81 -

The Picdyune having. settled conclu-
sively, in its own mind, the fact that ''the
Pilgrim Fathers hunted and caught the
wild African and brought him to this
country to be civilized, but after their
market value was safely secured" we can
not but feel surprised at this late exposure
by the Pic Of the manifest of the May
flower.
i Details are very much wanting to COM
plete the report of our early commercial
and financial" if the statement of the Pic
be true.
That the Pilgrim Fathers hunted we have
not doubt, but where, how, and who, is
still doubtful, not to add the question
ache,a.
''And caught the wild African" says
the Pic. Good game successful pilgrims;
but achen and ho,c did the Pilgrim Fathers
secure their game?
They brought him to this country to
be cioaized." Unhappy pilgrims, mis-
guided fathers! Were it possible that at
that time you could have read this article
of the Picayune how painfully apparent
would have been the fruitlessness of your
object in ever civilizing anybody.
but after their market value had been
secured, we opine that during the time
Of the Pilgrim Fathers, the market value
was small, transportation being very high,
and real estate security quite plentiful, it
was not considered ''heavy spec"
Yet how cute those Pilgrims We're, and
how far sighted. They passed their stock
it trade through generations Of their peo-
pie, until they fell into the hands of the
South, when from causes over which they
had no control Zone of them the "lost
cause"), they became bankrupt
But seriously, the memory of the Pill
grim Fathers is fresh and dear to many,
yes very many Of the people of New Or
leans, those whose love of God, country,
home and countrymen, has not become so
extinct yet as to seek to exterminate the
purity of their countrys early history.

NOT AN INJUNCTION.

twas far from our intention to do in
justice to Judge Emerson when we stated
that he had issued an injunction to stop
the jackson Railroad Company from lay
ing their track on st. Joseph street. 1t
appears that the order of the court was
not really an injunction after all, but
merely command to obey one issued
many months ago by Judge Cooley, and
for some time almost forgotten by the
public at large. The court issued a rule
ordering the company to show cause why
they should not be punished for con-
tempt, and added the supplemental order
to desist in the work of track laying until
the case could be judicially investigated
and determined. This order, which was
designed, and had the effect to stop sew
eral hundred men who had been employed
with proceeding farther, comes as near to
being an injunction as anything could that
was not the real thing, and no great errol
was committed by that portion OF the cit!
press which so regarded it.
Under the jurisprudence of this State
the writ of injunction is very often un
necessarily and improvidently issued; bu
We do not hold the Judge responsible. W.
do not attach any blame to Judge Emer
son for having signed paper which pu
stop to an important work before he hat
an opportunity to inquire into the merits
and shall not do SO, even if he prompt.

CLOSE THE GAP.

There is gap of more than mile pc
tween the jackson Railroad depot and the
river, across which thousands OF tons OF
freight are transported every month on
drays, floats, express wagons and such
like noisy vehicles. The cost of trans
portation for this mile or SO averages
about the same as ordinary steamer
! freight rates from New York or st. Louis
to New Orleans. Attempts have been made
several times to remove this onerous tax on
our commerce, by extending the track OF
l'the jackson Railroad to the levee. Every
body in the city, with the exception OF
few owners of private residences on st.
Joseph street, is in favor Of the change.
1t has been carefully considered and thor
oughly discussed. Permission has been
obtained by the company from both the
city and the State to lay their track
on St. Joseph street. The necessities
of the travelling and the commercial COM
munity demand that it shall be done; the
| law directs the company to do it, and they
are willing to comply. But certain gen.
| tlemen, who are intent on standing IN
their own light, have employed counsel
for the purpose of defeating the expressed
wishes of the community. So far from
any injury resulting to their property by
permitting the cars to pass by their doors,
there will be positive benefit. Steam, it
will be remembered, is prohibited, SO that
horses or mules will be used as the pro-
polling power. Any arrangement OF the
kind will be an immense improvement
upon the present system of floats and
drays, that go rafting through the streets
with rattling din which barely fails to
deafen all ears within five or six squares Of
the horrible nuisance.
Besides, it is the intention of the COM
pany to erect new passenger depot on
Tivoli Circle, central point, which can
be reached by passengers on seven differ
ent lines of horse cars. This will add
value to the surrounding property which
nothing else that is likely to occur can or
will do.
But all these advantages were fully con-
sidered by the City Council and the Leg
islature before the required permission
was obtained. 1t is now popular work,
one that must be accomplished despite
all the opposition that can be brought to
bear against it. It is simply question
of time, but we are DESTROYS that the de-
lay shall be as short as possible. If Judge
Emerson will decide the case promptly
say on Saturday, and dissolve the in
junction, we suppose the force, which is
now waiting for orders, will fall to at
once and complete the work to the levee
by Tuesday or Wednesday.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The French and Prussian excitement
having somewhat abated, Indeed the idea
is beginning to obtain that no fight is in
tended) our securities are looking toward
their former status. The gold fever, which
threatened to become epidemic seems to
have taken stand, and against the clos
ing figure of 1929 at New York day before
yesterday, we have it fixed yesterday
at 1906; 1t will require a decided
demonstration in European affairs to
give our fnanciers the opportunity
and disposition to display their skill
and energy at this season of the year.
The New York market opened at 1919
and closed at 1909. The transactions in this
city embraced 5000 at 1917, $4,000 at
1905, S1O,OOOat 1901. Townsend, Lyman
& Co. hold an order to be executed on
Wednesday for $1,000 at 1901.

As an evidence Of the prosperity of the

John Henderson at fifty per cent premium.
Mr.. Henderson is one Of our most enter
prising business men, being located at
No. So Tchoupitoulas street, and his con-
fdence in the stock of this company is
pretty good evidence of its success.

A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

The following are few of the reasons why this
CONCRETE should be used in preference to all
other materials:
l. 1t has been tested through of the hottest Of
New Orleans summers, and found not to soften by
the heat of the sun.
2. Being in general use at the North, it necessa-
rily must be proof against cold.
3. 1t is as durable as stone and much less expen-
4. 1t is perfectly impervious to water, and conse
quently quickly becomes dry when wet.
S. 1t makes no dust in dry or mud in wet wea-
ther.
6. 1t does not creak crumble, nor is it washed
by the rain.
:. 1t is mpenetrable to grass weeds water.
8. 1t prevents noxiOus vapors gases arising
from the ground beneath, and affords reservoirs
for filth or fostering decompostions.
8. 1t is laid down quickly, and ready for use
when finished.
TO- 1t is easily taken up, easily relad, and easily
repaired when necessary.

done, and few of the parties who have had it put
