GUARANTEEING Us TO DEATH.

New Orleans is angry because Calves
ton quarantined old Morgan's round bot
toned tubs for the reason that it was sup
posed they might import yellow fevef free
of charge into that sea-girt island. This
seems to be folly from our standpoint,
and SO it may be considered asthetieally;
but when we come to look at the trick
from an elevation disconnected WITH bill
ious arrangements, as Galveston looks at
it, probably our grin Of disgust will
lengthen into face of dismay at tho fact
that New Orleans hes been very CHI eaply
sold again. When Galveston quaraA tines
our ships, she simply stops our customers
at her own doors. She would consider
herself blessed if there could be d per-
petual quarantine which would fore e our
buyers to stop in Galveston. And
for years she has been cutting Us out
of the Texas trade by this little
game Of philanthropy, until it is now a
question whether she considers us Of
sufficient importance to demand more
than about ons-fourth Of her ammuni-
ton. Several of her batteries are appa-
rently changing their fire, and while she
holds the old Morgan gun on 3 s, her
heaviest calibre is pointed at st. Louis.
We are only small game now, and d single
] smooth bore settles us but st. Louis is

THE QUEEN OF FASHION.

The feminine world is in q flutter to
know where the fashions are to come from
now, since the Empress Eugene no longer
rules the world of female fxins. Berlin
is disposed to accept the job of instruct
ing us how to cut our dresses and trim
our fol-de-rols. But the German taste is
too severe to suit the butterfly race, and
we fear that Prussia will fail to conquer
the millinery business. London has some
idea of entering the field of fashion plates,
but the Queen is too slow and full OF woe
to lend her assistance to give the prefer
ence to Belgravia while New York is as
serting her pre-eminence in the art OF
mantua-making This is not serious
question, ladies. We are bound to in
herit the sceptre which has fallen from the
hands of Eugene. Whether for good or
i'll, it is inevitable that fashion must be
ruled for the next half century from the
United States. Prussia and France will
be too deeply clad in mourning to make
much Of display for the next two years.
England is constitutionally slow. New
York is glad, fast and rich. She can
show the handsomest women III the
world, because she numbers the beauties
of every State around her festive boards.
She has more cash than she knows what
to do with. Money is made easier and spent
freer there than it is at any other civilized
capital She adores fashion, and loves
to lead. Ambition is her royal failing.
Paris never could eclipse her for more
than two weeks, and then she would go
in and win the prize, no matter whether
it was in cutting the dress short at
both top and bottom, or whether it was
in piling pyramids on the back of the
head or the back of the hips. Her dia-
monds are even now quite as dazzling as
those in the diadems Of Europe; and if
the Kooh-i-Nocr was for sale, it would
be mounted in New York in a month.
She can gallop, and can-can it with the
iveliest teetotums of CadiZ, and her
spiritual condition is above that OF
Athens. Wit and agility abound within
her borders. The Bots de Bou-
logne never saw the lines handled
as a Broadway belle can hold
them. In fact, New York has held some
what Of the royal sceptre over the subjects
Of fashion, and she now proposes to seize
the entire dominion. As she has the dash
Of the French, the stubbornness of the
Prussian, and the solidity of the English,
we do not see but that her chances are
good to win the fight We shall then be
her privy counsellor, and it will fall to our
lot occasionally to set wiggle or two in
motion to capture the baggage train of
the female world

STEAMBOATS,,

A writer in the st. Louis Democrat in
sists that the great want Of the Mississippi
valley for cheap transportation can not be
salts fed until iron boats have displaced
the costly wooden structures that now
float on the bosom Of the great father of
waters. This is all right, and the matter
will adjust itself in few years. The
wooden boats are built so extensively
because they are used to transport passen-
gers. The Great Republic is not invested
with fifty thousand dollars worth of GIN
gerbread work in order to attract freight,
but to compel passenger custom. In two
years or SO We shall probably connect
with st. Louis by railroad, and then the
Great Republic will fail to find list of
passengers, and she will pass into a
freigh. boat, and then rot and be for
gotten. Freight, however, will continue
to move and to increase in bulk, and as
it will ask nothing but security from
snags, explosions and low water, then we
shall see the age of iron inaugurated, and
boats will be built without the immense
top hamper which now costs so much to
put up, and SO much more to keep in re-
pair. Boats with power and carrying
capacity viii smoke along the great Mis-
sissippi. and it will not be matter of
looks, bu. Of speed and safety, which
shall make the most money. An iron
boat with heavy guards and comfortable
little cabin will fill the place of the Lee
and Natchez, and strings of barges will
appear where we once saw the broad bow
and the trading boat Freight will be
fixed at such figure as to insure the
shipment Of corn from st. Paul to New
York via the Mississippi river; and where
the grain is now handled in sacks it will
then be picked up and stored away by the
cargo. The first step is our direct rail-
road to St. Louis on the west bank of the
river, and all things else will follow after.

vexing Galveston, and the spunky little
city is making q very creditable tight
over the vexation. st. Louis proposes TO
put herself in railroad connection with
Galveston and Houston, in the center OF
Texas, and with Marshall in the north
eastern section of the State. All this
trade once belonged to us, but it has been
captured by more enterprising people !;
and now two towns that once depended
on New Orleans are quarreling about the
division of her raiment. 80
Galveston quaransines US out OF her
market, and thus frightens her people
from coming here by the apprehension
that they may never get back again, which
is shrewd little maneuver, and then she
converts these quarantined customers into
purchasers in her own market. With the
money made in this way she cultivates a
railroad fever in the direction Of Kansas
and San Antonio, and enlarges her east
ern and European shipments. Having
thus secured the buyers and the goods
they want, a happy little increase Of her
annual resources is the result
All this is plain to everybody but the
Morgan steamship interest The Demo-
Gratis may not understand it, for they are
hard-headed set and dislike to sport fun,
which is the sportive spirit in which they
look at the imprisonment of about three
hundred Texans in this city by the Gal
weston quarantine. To us it is onlya vim
dication of the policy which led the last
Legislature to assist the Chattanooga
company in building railroad which will
allow strangers from Texas to come and
20 without consulting either the Morgan
monopoly or the quarantine at Galveston.

tinctions was about becoming law, was

amends and overrides, as was probably
intended, all previous or inconsistent Sec
lions about wards, for these are to be con-
strued and modified according to the con-
text Should wards for school purposes
be created by the city school board, the

as the law particularly defines, according
to the principle crpress;o unius, erclusio al

The discussion of the question how tn,

The discussion of the question how the
teachers will get their pay for September,
has elected a careful analysis of the law
and of the manner of its passage. Sec
ton thirty-fve requires that the school
funds shall be apportioned among the
several ward, district, city or town school
boards of the State, according to the num-
Der of children Of suitable age within the
cities, towns, or ward districts for which
the respective boards have been ap-
pointed. This clearly indicates that the
city or its school board is entitled or
might lawfully have the fund for
this parish apportioned to it. A
careful reading suggests the idea that the
city school board is intended to have it in
the city, and the ward boards in the
country, where schools are too far apart
to he under a uniform direct control
There would be nothing improper, there
fore, in assigning the apportionment to
the city board instead of the ward boards,
especially as the former has schools and
the latter have established none. The
former has debts to meet and is mourning
expenses and the latter have none.
The Legislature, at its extra session,
abolished the wards and extinguished all
ward lines. The new charter abolishes
expressly all previous ones, and the
wards, as such, have no existence. The
twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and tif-
teentn wards, are merely created for street
nurposes. under General Vests ordinance,
which can have no effect outside of his
department. It might be proper for the
CITY school board to create wards for
school purposes, in which case it would
be more appropriate to make them nearer
square in form, instead Of sliced like a
watermelon, across the city from river
to lake, or swamp. The former shape
would encompass each Of the large and
commodious school houses with an
eligible school district or ward. In no
other way can the ward system work to
advantage, for the schoolhouses are not
located or adapted to the formerly exist
! ing wards.
The Legislature seems to have contem-
plated this change, as article sixty-one of
the school act, which gives the control
and direction Of "all public schools with
in the city p to the city board, was offered
as an amendment in the Senate to the act
which had some weeks previously passed
the House, This amendment, which was

ON CARONpELET STREET.

Saturday was very quiet. As usual
there was little business in the ordinary
run of securities, but nothing to indicate
any new movement or interest. City
securities continue to gradually improve,
if we may judge from the few sales re-
ported and the unwillingness of holders
to realize at the prices now offered.
$1,000 new seven per cent bonds brought
70, and another parcel Of $1,000 sold at
49,. $4,000 of the same sold at private
terms. $4,000 seven per cent fiscal agency
certificates, dated in August, sold at Sc !;
$1,000, July dates, at -; s11S4, July 16,
and $1,000, dates not reported, brought
81. $500 Metropolitan warrants sold for
95i, and two lots Of $1,000 and one Of
$500, at So.
At the Board, IS cents was asked for
Ship Island, against 27I cents bid; but
We can get something nearer the market
rate for the stock by noticing sale Of
HOO shares at 80 cents.
Eight shares Barbarin Gas new stock)
brought 1872 so, equal to 81 40 for one
share of the old issue. At the Board,
500 was the asking price, but no one
offered more than the above rate. The
public regards this stock with considers
bic favor, as it is evidently issued with
something like practical basis. The
company produces a gas that gains upon
the popular favor-which is good deal
more than We can say Of several corpora
tons that have excited attention upon
Carondelet street.
Sugar Shed continues to gently subside.
25 shares sold yesterday at s25. Twenty

for their homes, St. Louis opened her
doors and gave them an invitation to in
spect her merits and partake Of her cheer.
And she says, through one Of her organs,
that these men represent trade that is
the best in the United States, for it makes
round bills and pays cash. New Orleans
has never done any such act Of 'iberality,
not even to her own people, although she
has had splendid opportunities to be
wise in her iberality. If the way
to a mans good Offices is through his
stomach, St. Louis and the rival cities
Of the West are fully posted how to pave
an easy access to the favor Of our mer-
chants. And while St. Louis is Repub-
ican in its politics, and many of her most
liberal merchants are Republicans, they
have too much sense to drive trade from
their doors by treating a gentlemen with
different sentiments with cool or inso-
lent remarks about his honesty or his
opinions They allow free thought and
free speech, and while they take the
trade of a political opponent, they do not
say, after he has left the store, that he is a
fool or knave. And until New Orleans
learns how to cultivate higher mercan-
tile idea than she is controlled by at pres
ent, she will never be reported as having
extended polite receptions to traders, nor
will she offer the market to invite traders
to make their investments in her midst.
And even Southern people are tired Of
this monotonous exclusion of Republicans
from participation in the life and activity
OF the town, and they are carrying their
round orders and cash payments to places
that are truly Republican.
