thirteenth article Of the constitution of this

The company has fully complied with
the requirements of the second section by
filing the necessary certificate in the office
of the Secretary Of State. Believing there
was nothing further in the way OF the
prosecution of the work, which the Legis-
lature has declared to be the duty Of
the Board of Directors to perform,
men were yesterday set to work grading
St. Joseph street and had made some
progress, when the injunction put a stop
to it. The writ is Of the ca parte character
that has rendered such documents no
torious in this State, and is made return
able on Saturday next. We do not see
how Judge Emerson can do more or less
in the case, when it ome up o. its
merits, than to dissolve the injunction,

ANOTHER

We supposed that we were to have
short respite from the interminable %injunc
ton business ; but it appears that We
were mistaken. Another of these writs
was issued yesterday by Judge Emerson,
presiding in the Eighth District Court, in
the absence of Judge Dibble, to restrain
the Jackson Railroad Company from pro.
ceeding with the work of extending thei,
track to the river.
It will be remembered that a few months
ago the old Board of Directors of the
road obtained permission from the city
to lay down their track on St. Joseph
street and run their cars over it from the
depot to the river. The work had hardly
been begun, however, before an %injunc-
ton, sued out by some of the property
owners along st. Joseph street, arrested
further progress. The merits Of the case
were at that time considered by the pub
lie, and much discussion ensued, pro and
con.
The obvious advantages to commerce
in having great and, in fact, only
road to the North, brought in close con-
nection with tide water, naturally out
weighed the objections urged by the
private persons who fancied they would
be injured in property and nerves by
having the cars pass by their doors. So
that after the matter had been pretty fully
discussed, an appeal was finally made to
the Legislature. That body responded
by passing the following act:
An act relative to the New Orleans, jackson
ana Ureat Northern Railroad Company.
WHEREAS, 1t Is essential to the ommer
cal prosperity of the State of Louisiana.

SEIZURE OF THEIRS. SPEECH.

1t is an unfortunate thing for France
that, Just when she was beginning to per-
suade Europe that entire constitutional
liberty existed in her realm, the report OF
Theirs speech for peace was seized at the
telegraph Office, to prevent its publication
in the English journals. This fact is a
great blow to ali the statements we have
received during the last few months on
the subject Of French liberty. According
to the new constitutional regime, men
were to be allowed to speak and write on
politics as they pleased, without fear Of
molestation from sergents-de-uiue.
This seizure Of Theirs speech was a
shallow measure, unworthy Of such a
statesman as the Emperor. 1t was prob
ably the work of some jealous subordi-
nate, more imperialist than his imperial
| master. A moments reflection would
have taught the author of the business
that the suppression Of a speech emanating
from a man like Theirs could only be
temporary. 1t is impossible to put such
light under a bushel.
This action puts the Emperor in the
awkward position of a ruler thrusting the
country into war by intrigue. This is
petty business. 1t seems to US that his
purpose would have been better accom-
plished by being frank and loyal to his
people and to the world. The patriot
ism of the French takes fire at the slight
est provocation, and the interview be-
tween the Prussian King and Benedict
furnished sufficient, apparent or real, to
have aroused the combative spirit up to
the war point; especially if the Emperor
had assumed an attitu de worthy of the
occasion by acting openly and taking his
subjects into his confidence. Asst is, many
of them have an uncomfortable appre-
hension that they are being used for per-
sonal and dynastic purposes, and this is
d damper on their military ardor.
The French have little or 10 loyalty
for their sovereign, but they have a deep
and abiding love for their country, which
is easily worked upon. This time at
least, it was badly done. In a word, it
was q blunder.

count 81 his extraordinary resemblance to
the first Napoleon, but beyond that he is
apt to do more mischief than good. His
history while in the Crimea, is to this day
a standing joke in the French Army. He
had an important command there, and
when the order was given to advance, he
was seized with pains in a part which
shall be nameless, and beat a hasty re-
treat. The laugh at this exploit became
so general that this hero resigned in dis
gust and returned to Paris.
Plon-Plon's new aspirations in the mil
itary line will doubtless revive the old
story. If he is determined at all hazards
to make another venture for military re-
nown, it would, perhaps, not be q bad
idea for him to take with him an
a%stringent, in case he should be afflicted
on the Baltic as he was in the Crimea. It
would be a pity for him to miss the laurel
a second time on account Of such a miser-
able little infirmity.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The market has been given up lately
pretty much to the gold fever. The gold
market opened at New York yesterday
morning at 1917. At New Orleans hold
ers were not quite SO ambitious, and sold
at 1907. At half-past ten, the price had
not changed in either city; but at half
past eleven, the wires flashed an advance
or Wall street to 123s. Carondelet street
responded cautiously, by putting the rate
up to from 1872 to 1921. By nobn the New
York market yielded to the bears, SO that
We learned that gold stood there at 1888.
One broker continued, however, to swear
by their former figure, 1872. At one
o'clock the New York price was 123s-a
quarter better than an hour before; but
Carondelet street couldn't see it" and
held on to 1872. By two o'clock the Wall
street magmtes had fixed the rate at 1923,
and our bull fnanciers drew in their
horns, letting the price down easily to
l21. There was a rally in Gotham by
three O'Clock, putting gold at 1925, and
We cautiously followed suit by closing u
market at about 1917. A large business,
for this burgh, was done during the day,
with the usual consequence upon the
bank accounts of enterprising operators.
1t seems that we did not appreciate
fully the advantage given to the Louisi-
n State Lottery Company, by the de-
cisions given by Federal and State
tribunals in favor of the organization, in
response to the energetic movements Of
President Howard against the Havana
lottery dealers The stock has gone
exiting" lstd yesterday was worth fully
what We quote beio% as the price paid for
thirty. shares-S73 SO. At this rate
of advance the stock will not
stay below par for any very
long time. There is none of it on the
market just now, holders generally pre-
ferring to keep their certificates as an in
vestment.
Valley Levee has slightly improved, and
so has Slaughterhouse, if We may judge
from transactions reported by responsible
parties. Ship Island did not show itself
yesterday. This stock is waiting for ac-
ton by the city authorities.
We append our usual list of the trans
actions reported.

A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

The following are a few of the reasons why this

l.. 1t has been tested through one of the hottest of
New Orleans summers, and found not to soften by
the heat of the sun.
2. Being in general use at the North, il necessa.
rily must be proof against cold.
3. 1t is as durable as stone and much less expen.
sive.
4. 1t is perfectly impervious to water, and conse-
quently quickly becomes dry when wet.
S. 1t makes no dust in dry or mud in wet wea-
ther.
6. 1t does not creak or crumble, nor is it washed
by the rain.
:. 1t is impenetrable to grass, weeds or water.
8. 1t prevents nOXiOus vapors or gases arising
from the ground beneath, and affords no reservoirs
for filth or fostering decompositions.
8. 1t is laid down quickly, and ready for use
when finished.
10. 1t is easily taken up, easily relaid, and easily
repaired when necessary.

done, and a few of the parties who have had it put
