THE DELEGATION FROM cADDo.

The .second commercial city of Louis
lana" has just passed through bit OF a
crisis. 1t appears that rumor found its
way up to Shreveport to the effect that
Governor Warmoth intended to send
battalion of colored militia up there to
look after the riotously disposed during
the coming election. A f1utter of excite
ment ensued, which naturally eliminated
in a meeting of the white people.
Speeches were made highly Mandatory OF
the peaceable disposition Of the Shreveport
citizens But we notice that reference IS
made to the possible arrival Of militia
company there, as though it would be a
great calamity. We confess we can not
understand this For if the people there
have grown so peaceable as their speakers
pretend they have, and intend to remain
so during the next election. they would
not be likely to be molested by the militia.
The police of New Orleans are not objects
of terror or aversion to the well conducted
citizen. On the contrary, they are es-
teemed as friends, who would protect us
in case of need. We do not hold public
meetings here and petition for the disband-
ment of the police force, even in the
qaietest of times.
This nervous anxiety on the part of the
white people of Shreveport, who, we are as
sured by the Gazette, are the best they have,
| is rather suggestive. 1t implies, either
that coup d etat is really contemplated,
which they do not want to have forestalled,
or that they have allowed themselves to
be frightened without cause. If their
community is as peaceable and law abid-
| ing as the gentlemen Of the committee
pledged their honor to Governor War
! moth is the case, they are not likely to
see much of the militia. And they ought
to know this. If they yet retain their
reasoning faculties, they could easily solve
the problem without coming to New Or
leans to ask Governor Warmoth about it.
The resolutions, the address to the Gov
ernor and his reply, will be found IN
| another column. The chief object OF the
former appears to be to extort promise
from his Excellency, that no militia shall
be sent to Shreveport at all; but
in case the people up there turn out to be
| bad, which the committee solemnly assures
him they never will, why then call out
the militia of Caddo parish, and let the
enrolled citizens punish all the evil doors
they are able to find guilty. AS the Gov
ernor has not fully pledged himself to the
| views of the committee, but rather sig
nifcantly reserved to himself the right to
Judge of the necessity for acting, we opine
the delegates have failed in their mission.
To sum up the subject in a sentence-if 1t
shall become necessary to send militia
force to any point in the State to pre-
serve order, it will most likely be done;
unless this necessity arises, it will not be
done. So that the committee, by remain
| ing at home, could have answered their
own communication, without submitting
it to the Governor.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

As usual, the gold business was heavy
yesterday, and stock operations light.
Gold could be quoted as held long way
above its value but for the state Of things
abroad, and it is by no means certain that
its present market price is not largely fac
titious, for there is no one who can say,
without an immense deal Of presump-
ton and pretension, whether the flow
of gold will be to or from the United
States, if actual war results from the
present European complications. The
present rise is the result, mainly, of
speculative causes. Breadstuffs must
go up, and if the war is protracted,
they will rise so as to put plenty
of money in the pockets of Northwestern
farmers but whether Germany will send
our bonds here for sale, or will send its
gold to us for investment, is problem
whose solution can not be calculated just
now.
Gold opened in New York yesterday at
1917 and here at 1901. At half-past ten
it brought 1911 on Wall street, and On
Carondelet street its price was 100. 1t
held to the last named figure here at noon,
and in New York at that hour the rate
had not changed The three o'clock dis
patch from New York said gold was
worth there 1913, and it stood at about
the same figure here at the same time.
though, perhaps, it was little weak at
that rate. A private dispatch, dated at
half-past three, from New York, put the
price at 1913, but it was received too late
to insure a corresponding movement
among our brokers.
Ship Island holds firmly to its very low
condition. The main question relative to
this stock now is, what will the city
| government do relative to the companys
proposition that the city should help the
organization, instead of crowding it
down? Common sense dictates this sug-
gestion, by way of an answer: II the city
authorities see that the company means
work, and that its plan Of drainage is
feasible, and if they are satisfied that the
price to be paid for the drainage is not
too much, of course the city will assist
the company. The new system of drain
age will not, under the law, cost the city
picayune more than the old plan, as
far as the old city limits are concerned.
The price charged by the company for
inaugurating and perfecting a decent
style of drainage for the Sixth District,
is by no means heavy, considering the
extent of the work. Beyond all this, is

to be considered the commercial advan-
tages to result from the completion Of the
main canal connecting the deep water OF

There is no noticeable change in Valley
Levee or Slaughterhouse. Lottery stock
holders have very decided opinions as to
the value of their certificates. Now that
our district courts have twice decided in
favor Of the constitutionality Of the legis-

question as to the stability of the institu-
ton. Averaging the price asked recently
none below $50 nor above S60-we put
the present value of the stock at about
$50.

that it is 9sl per cent pure sulphur the
