We win not scan the value Of the services
proposed to be performed IN comPensat1on
that the various great interests concerned
would consent to see these duties taken
from the Council and conferred upon any
body Of men, however responsible. We
have NO idea tho Council could dis
charge themselves Of the legal responsibility
now resting on them by such transie :.
The prosecution Of so large demand will
concentrate against it an opposition which
will defeat an improvement of the utmost
thorities to do this thing. If it proves in
furious to our interests they can pull down
the sheds. or they can adjust the performance
of this duty with the interests intended to
be advanced. We want no more mOnopO-
lies, with iDiunctiOns and mandamus en-
barrassing commerce at every step. The
Legislature has imprOvidently granted some
concessions which have interfered greatly
with private industry. 1t passed bill by

Jurisdiction over the whole line of levee, and
concurrent right Of special taxation with
the State Legislature. We hope the people
will put some better lawyers into their law
and Ordinance-making bodies than it has
been heretofore fashionable to do. Nothing
suffers more from monopoly and taxation
than commerce. and it should be left free,
or subject to the control of the authorities
responsible for it's protection.
lecture to practical close by submitting a
plan for these indispensable improvements,
based on what has been done elsewhere
First-The legal administration of the
wharves should be left precisely where it
is, subject to the jurisdiction Of the Com
mon Council, as defined by the courts.
SecOnd-The Council should direct sur
vey and report by the engineer upon the
capacity Of the wharf foundation to bear a
warehouse superstructure. He should sub
init plans and specifications Of the buildings
suitable to he erected.
Third-At height of twelve feet in the
clear above the wharf floor, should be
built ON iron columns, SO placed as not to
Obstruct the use Of the wharves. warehouses
of one or more stories.
FOurth-The right to erect these wharf
warehouses should be granted by the city
to responsible lessees. The occupants Of
sufficient wharf space for tracks, stairways
and other convenience necessary for re-
ceiving and discharging goods. Beyond
this the wharves should be open as at pres
ent to the use Of the public. OF course the
erection of these upper story warehouses
would protect all the commodities upon the
wharf. When these commodities were to
be stored they would be raised into the
warehouses by machinery or conveyed to
other warehouses as the owner might pre-
fer; the whole effect Of such system would
be to shelter the wharves and rent out a
couple of stories of the public atmosphere.
To such a result no friend of commerce or
of progress could be opposed. Let us have

CHRISTMAS DRY GoODs AT DAsPIr's.-That
Daspit, the popular dry goods dealer, op-
posite the Magazine Market, is. selling bar
gains, may be understood from the fact that
his store is crowded daily with the elite of
the Fourth District. They tell lis that
they buy real French corsets from him at
about half the price they would have to pay
elsewhere, and Balbriggan hose at six and
seven dollars per dozen. While his fannels,
dress goods, parasols, kid gloves, etc., are
equally cheap. Go and pay him visit.

1t would certainly pay any of our readers
well to go and take a look at the stock of
Messrs. B. & w. Croner, dry goods mer-
chants, corner of Magazine and St. Mary
streets. As extensive as that Of any house
of the kind in our city, and being as varied
as bazar, their stock is sold as cheaply as
goods of a like quality could be purchased
in New York. Dress goods of all patterns,
silks of all degrees Of richness, house linens,
carpets and curtains in fact, everything
that could be desired. And we say cheap;
and we mean it.

a more agreeable place in the city to visit,

In certain portions Of Texas the inhabi-
tants are subject to severe privations. The
forlorn condition of Wood county, especially,
demands commiseration and has provoked
one Of her citizens to appeal to the Gov
ernOr. He says: "The people have no
amusement. In eighteen years there has
not been changing or monkey show in the
country. The young men are sadly ignorant
on this point. Their only amusements are
pitching half-dollars and running mule-eared
rabbits" He begs the Governor to send
some monkeys to that country, or to order a
small man hung for the amusement of the
ncOple.

The fact that the very best kinds of boots
and shoes for ladies and gentlemen, misses
and children, can be had at Martins old
stand, No. lib Canal street next door to

are never common Or carelessly made, but
always excellent. Go there and get your
shoes, if you want the very best.

of the resins in alcohol is to be heated to

CHRISTMAS GROCERIEs.-This week the
principal duty of heads of families will be
to lay in supplies Of good things for con-
sumption during the. Christmas week, and
we know of none more deserving of patron
age than our neighbors, Messrs. j. w. Platr
& Co., corner of Poydras and Camp..streets,
for their stock of good things would attract
attention even in the West End Of London, or
from the Board of Aldermen of that ancient
city. It comprises every thing that can
make the Christmas holidays pleasant to
both grown up people and children, and we
hope that they will not be allowed to re-
main there.

Great sorrows are half holy things.

Bank of Lafayette. His goods were all
made to order for his own sales-not picked
up around at the jobbing houses, or bought
an auction. They are made, too, to fit peo-

Said a lady friend to us, day or two
since: They can never improve upon
Coats thread, Rogers scissors, Warren's
needles, Jouvin's gloves, or Wilcox & Gibbs
sewing machines. There may, from time
to time, spring up competitors who, by force
of great efforts through the newspapers and
elsewhere, for time attract attention; but
the faith of the real housewife will never be
converted from these great articles-par
ticularly the Wilcox & Gibbs sewing ma
chine" And who can say that she was
wrong! The simplest in construction must
be the most durable. Like the old English
patent lever watch, the simplicity of the
Wilcox & Gibbs sewing machine can not be
improved upon. Neither can its serviceable
qualities.

New STORE AND New GOoDs.-It rs be-
yond doubt truth which even the most
disputatious will agree to- that the goods
offered for sale in house of only few
months existence, must be all new and Of
the most recent patterns and fashions. An
old house often has old stock which it is
anxious to work off; new house can not,
by any possibility, have such goods. 1t is
true that an old house often does keep fresh
and new goods; but it is positive that new
house has them always. Therefore, the
wise buyer never fails to give new houses
patronage, because he is certain of not get
ting swindled by having palmed upon him
goods out Of date. Messrs. O'Neill & Glea-
son, No. POS Canal. street BLAZERS Build
ing) are a new dry goods house, having
opened during the present season. Their
stock is all nc,c and of the Gerry latest modes.
But they are not new men, nor do they
come before the public here as adventures.
They succeed one of the oldest and most
respectable dry goods dealers, Mr.. NJ. r.
Haggerty, with whom both were associated
as employees for years, and have lived here
all their lives. Their assortment Of goods
comprise everything in their line, while their
prices are low enough to astOnish most
people. Pay their house visit.

WASHES VICTORIES AT MOBILE.-HOw
the furnishers and clothiers of Mobile must
have bit their lips when our fellow citizen,
Major Walshe, literally swooped down upon
them and carried off all their medals and
diplomas at their late fair. just think OF
the loss they sustained: five medals, sill
yer goblet, a silver cup and four diplomas.
He beat all competition in shirts, boys
suits, gents trunks, umbrellas, dressing
gowns, boys and mems furnishing goods
and clothing, whether from among his New
Orleans competitors, or from those from the
rest of the world. Major Walshe went
there to literally slaughter all opposition,
and succeeded just as he does here. The
fact is his stock can not be beat. 1t is beau
tiful, it is well made, fashionable, new and
good, and cheap. A man who would ask
more should be doomed to 60 shirtless all
his life.

eAxrA CLAUS the1 - WeRe : little
shaver Of lve q III, and had > firm faith
in Al the various stories about that mystic
individual. Santa Claus, we always asso-
ciated our ideas of him with Mr.. B. Pifet,
and had sort Of quiet belief that the grand
source of all the old saints drafts for
Christmas gifts came from the great bazaar
Of that wonderful old gentleman. In our
eyes this store was the Indies, Persia, Col
conda-and everywhere else where wonder
full things were to be seen, and wealth to be
found without limit. As for him, we took
it that he had dozen or more genii at his
beck and call, and knew whore to put his
hand upon everything that was wonderful,
Just as we'll as we did upon the biggest
lump of sugar in the bucket in the pantry,
day or night. And he also, we thought,
had the knack of detecting lazy, undutiful
or ~disobedient little boys; therefore we
were always on our good behavior when in
his neighborAood. Now the strangest part
of all this is that these ideas still stick to
us, and our children have inherited them.
In our mature manhood we are as much
astOnished at the extent Of Piffet's stock as
ever, and sincerely believe that there could
be no Christmas without visit to his store.
Our boys and girls believe the same. Who
cbuld help it who ever had visited it +!
