Known on the street, and in the commu-

| In the official report of the proceedings
of the City Council, published in this
mornings REPUBLICAN, will be found Ad
ministrator Shaw's report on the subject o.
city money He recommends that the city
government should give up the classified.
ton of the various issues, as expensive
and of but doubtful benefit, and that the
city money which has been presented as a
part of the floating debt be placed upon
the statement Of debt without discrimina-
ton as to issues. This is but fair to the
public. The money has been received in
discriminatory by the people. The honor
of the city is staked on the redemption OF
the whole. Whatever legal technicalities
may be involved, the city has had the
bepeft of the issues, our population took
and used them as money, and refusal to
pay any part would be as near reputation
as it is possible to come. Mr.. Shaw's
suggestion is absolutely correct, and de-
serves the hearty support of the other ad-
ministrators.
A bull bewails the condition of the street
as follows:
BROKERS CORNER. CARoNDELEr STREET.,

1t Is always understood that bulls have
the privilege of relieving their surplus bile
by blowing their own horns whenever
chance offers, and am therefore tempted,
this uDmlstakably hot day, to send you a
blast from this corner (where bulls and bears
do congregate) on the subject of our
grievances, asd anything else in general and
particular. First, Ipour my complaints into
your ear against the inhumanity of the way
in which We have suffered indiscriminate
slaughter in the last few days. We

Island stock, but Notwithstanding our
earnest and pathetic exercises, the
plagued stuff would 60 down. If that
detachable myth known as the company,
would sink their canals as rapidly as the
stock goes down, the old Mississippi would
have been fanked long ago, and our rear
would have been ornamented with a forest
OF tall masts in short order. Strange, how
coolly the old fellow takes it. Notwith-
standing our best efforts to bull Ship Island

crawfsh, which punctures his banks, is a
