We can no longer doubt Congress be.
ing fit place for prize-hghters and bar
room bullies, when scenes like the fol-
lowing are constantly recurring. AS ex-
hibiting the extraordinary latitude al
lowed debate, it is we'll worth attention
Butler, declared that our Government
gave the same chance that it gave Spain,
whereupon Sam Randall, in fiery and
yet analytical frame of mind, shouted
out from the Democratic side:
"Where? When? Name the time and
place, won't you?"
Benny paid not the slightest attention
to Randall 8 barbed dinterrogatories. Then
Sammy stood upon his tip-toes, and
raising his voice to its highest pitch,
again shrieked-
(Which? Who're? How2 When?
What?"
Benny looked as demoralized as green
militiaman in q shower Of grape-shot,
and, stretching his not small mouth to
its full capacity, uttered this response:
"Bahi BAIL BAIL"
Once moro Randall demanded, with
increasing earnestness:
when? Where? How?"
And once more Benny made the mys-
terious answer:
s'Bahl Bah! BAIL"
Hereupon sharp voice in the gallery
yelled out:
"Won't somebody choke that old
sheep?"
AT this choorful proposal all the spec
tators roared with laughter, and the lob
bies caught it up and roRred too, and
then the members roared, and the
Speaker raped his gavel until it broke,
and the hammer bounded over the desk,
striking the Clerk on the head, and there
was what Joe Bagstock would call "a
devilish Jolly time" all round; but where,
when and how the Government has given
Cuba tho same chance as Spain. remains
as much of conundrum as ever.

The Four LARGEST CATTLE IN THE
WoRLD.-We learn from the Pough-
keepsie correspondent of the New York
Eoening Telegraph that Mr.. George
Aryault, n well-to-do Duchess County
farmer, who takes great pride in raising
sleek, fat cattle, has raised the four fat-
test steers in the world. The lightest
ono Of them weighs $500 pounds, and
the heaviest over 1000 pounds. Mr..
Ayrault sold these cattle to Mr.. Tailor, of
Fulton Market, New York, for $500
each, 1920 for all.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
(mo,lerate Republican, says: "They are
making very ugly record against that
eminent Christian soldier, Gen. How
ard. It is very sad thing to cortem-
plate that our most pure, gifted and
heroic, when brought in contact with the
handling of money, rarely escape soiling
themselves in some way with the stain Of
greenbacks. Hero is our Hayelock of
the army held up as no better than a
mercenary contractor and camp fol-
lower"

How RAILROADS May BUILD UP THE1R
OWN CITIES. Garrett, Presi-
dent OF the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company, said in speech in Bal
timore the other day, that the way in
which his company had rapidly built up
Baltimore was by carrying freight 3s3
miles for twenty cents per 100 pounds, SO
as to prevent it from going to other cities.
PoTAToEs. The prolific and vitalizing
properties Of "Phuine," as q manure,
has been practically demonstrated by our
neighbor, DIR. Heinitsh, who introduced
it. He has presented US specimen of
the Early Rose Potato, weighing twelve
ounces, which WIS grown on his pre-
misses. The seed was purchased from
Messrs. E. & G. D. Hope, and planted
in pieces; each drill twenty feet long and
manured with one quart of "Phuine." :"
The working process was abandoned en-
tirely-nature and the manure did all
the work required-and the yield in
quantity and quality speaks we'll for this
new fertilizer. "Phuine" is also recon-
mended for turnips; let our gardeners
try it, call on the Dr. and learn some
thing more about it.

THE SECRET TREATY.

From the excitement which the publ
cation Of the alleged secret treaty between
France and Prussia, has produced in the
London journals, it would seem that there
is some foundation for. the existence of
such document. When present events
crystalize into history, if not before, we
shall probably learn that such paper
was projected by one or both of the
parties Immediately concerned, but for
some reason or other was never consum-
mated.
A dispatch from Brussels to London
confirms the statement of the Times
touching the authenticity of such docu-
ment, and adds that the government Of
Belgium has only recently discovered its
existence According to the cable news,
this treaty has aroused the indignation
of the English people. The feeling has
reached the House Of Commons, where
the leaders Of the opposition demanded
an explanation, to which Gladstone re-
sponded that the papers in reference
thereto were no. ready. The Premier
expressed some surprise, and believed
that the powers in question would
voluntarily make some explana-
ton. Lord Granville went further,
affirming that it was the duty of France
and Prussia Immediately and sponta-
neously to explain the matter to Europe"
Disraeli, of the opposition, at once broke
ground in favor of protecting Belgium in
case France should endeavor to absorb
that country, in pursuance of the articles
of the supposed treaty.
In the midst of this storm of indigna-
ton, the mouth of the French Ambassa-
dor at London is Theoretically sealed, ex-
cept to say that he knows nothing about
it, which may be diplomatic, but is very
unsatisfactory to the British govern
ment.
1t is possible that the willy Bismarck
started this story to ALLEVIATE from France
Belgium and the Rhenish provinces, and
strengthen himself in the South German
States, they gathering under his protect
ing wing against the overreaching schemes
of Napoleon for the articles of the sup
posed treaty can do but little harm to
Prussia in the German mind, while for
France they are of most mischieyous
effect

The city government has not responded to
the memorial of the companys managers,
and nothing has appeared to justify
any increase in popular confidence
in the enterprise, beyond the manifesto
tons OF evident energy and determination
on the part Of the new direction. The
city ought to help the company without
waiting to be forced to do so by the orders
OF the courts but if the Administrators
don't see it in that light, the company
can only grin and bear it till the whirligig
of time brings, if not revenge, something
like justice. When will our city fathers
appreciate the fact that New Orleans must
exert herself to keep pace with the rest Of
the world? We have talked so long
about the Mississippi river as the
great commercial artery of America,
and as the means by which We could al
ways bring business and wealth to our
levee, that we have fairly lost sight of the
advantages which judicious but liberal
disposition Of capital are giving to other
trade centres without 1.-THE of the favors
lavished upon us by nature. 1t is high
time that We got rid of the habit Of sitting
with our hands folded upon the banks of
the Mississippi, waiting for commerce to
float down to US, and the other habit Of
abominably over-taxing all such trade as
is forced upon us. We must go to work
with will, and by means of the expendi-
ture of capital and the use Of credit, in
order to induce traffic to and through
this city; otherwise we shall continue
to be beaten by cities without anything
like our capabilities, and be compelled to
see New Orleans sink lower and lower in
the scale of relative commercial import
ance. We tax trade UNANIMOUSLY, and lock
up capital unemployed that could turn the
tide Of business to our doors with such
rush as would put New Orleans in the
front rank among the great commercial
emporiums of the world. Now that the
City Council has pretty much reformed
our municipal finances, they have chance
ogo ahead in the direction of improving
our facilities for trade, and first rate
chance is offered to commence upon this
all-important undertaking in the oppor-
tunity to lend helping hand to the Ship
Island Canal enterprise.
To-day is the time for stock settlements
in London, and in consequence Of the dis
organized condition of affairs in Europe,
it is apprehended that failures to large
amounts may be reported before another
edition Of the REPUBLICAN appears Un-
til the next twenty-four hours tide over,
there will be great anxiety throughout
the commercial world on this accountant
anxiety that will be shared by good
many in New Orleans. 1t is not antici-
pated that there will be anything like a
general letting down, though some cor
respondents may suffer.
We have to report the following transac-
tons in new State warrants: $4,000 at
20; S625 at II, and $500 at Y.

LOST SYMPATHY---" SAVE ME FROM MY
FRIENDS,n

The Bulletin copies from the Courier
Journal, approvingly We presume, an ar
ticle in reference to General Robert Ander-
son, of Fort Sumter fame, which is so full
of lies direct, indirect and circumstantiaL,
and so replete with the ignorance and
malice characteristic of the unrecohstruct-
ed press, as to require passing notice,
the more so as We have seen the same
charges in one shape and another floating
through the printed organs of the higher
civilization in the South, during the year
last passed.
These Bohemians of the blood and
thunder publications, attempt to create a
sensation by sounding the changes thusly,
"Another victim of the war;" "Gene-
raj Robert Anderson, the Hero of Fort
Sumter, sick and destitute-dying in OBJ
security and exile in an obscure French
town." ETC. And then comes this gushing
paragraph, "Oh! my countrymen, you who
have tears to shed, prepare to shed them
now"
Poor Anderson you Obeyed with soldierly
| promptitudc the orders of your superiors
! and became for time the 8 Hero of Fort
| sumter, but as soon as you declined to
take an active part in the prosecution of
,he war; saying to the saiHted martyr, MY
heart Is not III this war;" you had performed
your mission, and as they could no longer
| use yo" III the execution of their foul pur-
| poses, you We're cast aside in the same
spirit which dictated your employment, YOU
had accomplished all yoa, ,rouli and other
| agents not troubled with a heart were
easily to be found to supply your place. and
thus have you been rewarded
If General Anderson ever remarked to
President Lincoln that ''his heart was
not in the war" then Mr. Lincoln did
right i'll retiring him from active service in
the field. Yea, he ought to have went
further and deprived him of his rank and
pay in the army, and degraded him in
| public estimation as a pirate sailing
under false colors
If General Robert Anderson ever made
such remark to President Lincoln, then
General Robert Anderson was men
dacious hypocrite when he received pro-
motion in his profession, but asked to be
excused from active duty in the field, upon
the express ground that his whole nervous
organization had become so shocked and
shattered while enduring the terrific
bombardfnent of Fort Sumter as to render
him incapable of performing active ser
vice, this was not only his own assertion,
but it was reiterated, we presume, by his
knowledge an consent, by his relatives,
Colonel Charles Anderson, lieutenant
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-07-27

governor of Ohio, and Colonel Dick An
derson, of Kentucky, while it is well
known that General Anderson was placed
in command Of all the camps in the North
west established for the collection, or
ganization and instruction Of United
States volunteers, and attended to his
duties faithfully and efficiently, until
utterly broken down and Frustrated by
disease contracted in the line of duty.
If General Anderson managed to live
comfortably and respectfully for fifteen
years upon the full pay Of a subordinate
officer in the United States army, it IS fair
to presume that he is not now impecumous
upon the retired pay of full Major Cen
eral.
If any of the Anderson family are i'm
pecunious, it will be news to their friends
in the Northwest, where it is well known
that they inherited large estates in Ken
lucky, while it is equally well known that
they enjoyed large legacies under the will
of the late Nicholas Longworth, of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, who died leaving an estate
worth several millions of dollars-without
children-and the Andersons his nearest
relations and dearest friends.
It is dastardly outrage to thus throw
obloquy and reproach upon the fair name
and fame Of a good soldier and an honora-
bic man, and drag his private affairs be-
fore the public, merely to crafty petty
malice and spite toward the Republican
party, and to heap obloquy, if possible,
upon the memory OF the great and good
Lincoln.
Yet to do these things appears to be
perfectly natural and easy to the low and
savage hyenas of the opposition press.
It fits down over their moral sensibilities
nicely, like wilted cabbage leaf over
sore shin.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The present condition of the market af
fords but little room for comment. Even
the gold fever is perceptibly subsiding,
and the business of the street. outside of
the ordinary note shaving, gives very lit
tie occupation to capital. Some Of our
friends upon Carondelet appear to have
decided disrelish for our frank style Of
speech about the extent and nature Of
their operations, but as this article is
written for the information Of the COM
munity and not to please any clique, or
individual brokers or spectators, We can
afford to continue in the course we have
chosen, regardless of the corns of the ten
der footed, and the supersusceptible tenn
peraments of the GROWERS.
Gold opened in New York at ten o'clock
yesterday at 1917. In New Orleans, at
the same hour, it was shade lower-say
from 1911 to 1917. Half an hour later,
Wall street had not changed its figure,
and our brokers had settled down upon
1911. The arrival of meridian did not
alter the views of the New York brokers,
but the fraternity here concluded to re-
duce the price trife, putting it at from
121 to 1911. At the close of business,
there was no change in either market, but
private dispatch from New York, dated
at half past six, announced rise to 122.
The gold business of the day was not as
large as usual.
Slaughterhouse has improved slightly.
There is good deal Of difference of OPT
Mon concerning its market value, between

Its market value yesterday was somewhere
from SIT to SIT IS. There is not much
onerlng' and no great disposition toward
investment shown.
Forty shares Of Valley Levee found a
