ON CARONDELET STREET,

A party publicly slandered the Caron-
delet street brokers yesterday, calling
them "a set of lame dacks, hopping
YEARLY over hot curbstones, devoid of en-
terprise and bereft Of hope" A more
baseless piece Of gratuitous abuse was
never perpetrated. The brokers are full
to the brim and boiling over with enter
prise. They are as plucky as fighting
cocks. The trouble is, that good solid
New Orleans stocks are pretty much alb
sorbed by capitalists as investments, and
for the 'fancies" there are just now but
few good orders. The speculative fever
that ragged here for some months among
merchants, capitalists and professional
men, for the leading fancies, has no.
tably abated, and with the with
drawal of their customers the business
Of the brokers must unavoidably lauguish.
Not long ago there was perfect furore
or this class of certificates, but with the
of warm weather many occa-
'ional dabblers in stocks have taken them
'elves off to more Northern ATTITUDES.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The passage by the Senate of the Texas
Pacific Railroad bill is a substantial
victory for Senator Kellogg, the fruits o.
which must prove of incalculable benefit to
Louisiana. We heartily congratulate him
upon the successful termination of bis
long and arduous struggle against the
gigantic combination which advocated the
adoption of the thirty-sixth parallel
route.
1t was wise stroke of policy enlisting
the interest of General Fremont, Mr..
Foreman, and other leaders of the Mem
phls and FL Paso road in the success OF
the Kellogg bill, and will so divide the
antagonistic elements as to secure
promt action by the House, and its pas
sage almost certain.

THE PRESS,

1t is not Kings, nor Presidents, nor

OF this public sentiment everywhere
the press is the fast ally and the faithful

Spalding & Bidwel offer for rent the
spacious establishment known as the Paris
Pavilion, corner of Canal and villere streets,
where the street cars pass every few minutes.
The place is fitted up expressly for balls

thing, and is the coolest place in the city.
One strong inducement to parties wishing
to rent this pavilion, is, that they will deal
with our urbane friend J. Kittredge. Treas

experience makes him a most competent
judge of what is necessary for public com.

THE BACK CITY SALARIES,

An interesting question has arisen il
Judge Dibbles court, arising out Of the
sections of the city charter relative to The
floating debt 1t was undoubtedly the in.
tention of the Legislature to provide fol
funding the floating debt, meaning to in.
clude all classes ofobligations upon which
certificates had been given out. But, un.
fortunately, in the hurry of Legislation
the paragraph was given such wording
as to leave out pay rolls completely, ex-
cept by implication. Whether this was
effected by the cunning Of parties inter-
ested in other forms of securities it is USE
less here to inquire.
The act says that all matured obliga-
tons of the city at the passage of the act,
VIZ: fioal judgments, warrants, certificates
OF Indebtedness, and city notes shall be
placed on the statement of the floating
debt On the doctrine of erpressio
unius erclusio oNerius, the Admin
istratrators find 1t unsafe to take the
liberty OF putting on that statement any
thing not expressly enumerated in the act.
Accordingly mandamus has been taken
in the case of Merle vs.. Administrator
Shaw, to compel putting the pay rolls on
the statement. The defendant, we under
stand, takes the position in law that be has
not the power to do so under the law, but
submits the matter to the decision of the
courts. Neither he nor the other Admin
lstrators have any hostility to so placing |
them, and they would be much relieved,
in fact, if authorized or required by court
70 do SO, as the following facts, which we
,ave taken the trouble to gather, will show:
The floating debt, though not yet fully
'scertained or officially passed upon, is
as follows. The estimate is
trictly confined to the four classes
Enumerated in the act Of the Legislature:

Wednesday evening, with his accomplished
bride, one of the Creole ladies of this city,

The Louisiana Lottery Company is COM
mencing vigorous fight, Ia Slaughter
house, against the infringers of its exclu-
sive privileges. Some nine writs of injunc-
ton were applied for yesterday, in the
Eighth District Court, against vendors
and agents connected with the Havana
Lottery. Damage suits have also been
commenced against some of the same par
ties, and it is reported that the home in
stitution will make bold stand for all its
rights as granted by the State Legislature.
The directors of the concern seem to have
come to the determination to do what their
charter authorizes the whole profits
ofthe lottery business in Louisiana for the
benefit of the stockholders. This course
OF action will increase popular confidence
in this already favorite stock.
Considerable comment has found its
way into the papers regarding the position
of the city with reference to the back pay
rolls. The sscertained and undisputed
floating debt Of New Orleans amounts to
s2,352,0l1. The disputed and unadjusted
claims reach s637, 283. Of this last sum,
s463, 1888 is covered by back pay rolls,
teachers, laborers, etc. The city ordi-
nance providing for the registry of the |
floating debt prescribed for the payment |
of the back pay rolls in preference to the |
debt registered under its provisions; but |
the Legislature saw fit to disregard the
pledge thus given to the pay roll credi tors
by providing means for the cleaning up of
The floating debt nuisance, without regard.
ing the meritorious claims of laborers and
teachers. Out of the So, OOO 900 of bonds
authorized to be issued, it is not likely
hat more than eighty per cent upon their
ace value can be realized, or say about
enough to pay off the registered
iebt, outside of the back pay rolls.
4 the courts cay these pay rolls must be
'aid out of the proceeds of the new bonds,
will, hence, be necessary to pay pro rata
nstalments all round. The current in.
ome is absorbed by current interest and
expenses. The problem of the back pay
oils is knotty one for the fnanciers of
be City Hall, but they seem to have clear
leads and the right sort of purpose, and
borrower, have managed to get at the
acts of the city's real situation, and have
hown good the sense to expose it plainly
D the people. The publication of Admins
'ator Shaw's reports has accomplished {
luch for the city credit already. As to
ne back pay rolls, if they are paid now,
,e current expenses Of the city can not
Q met. Aceruing interest must be
romptly paid at all events. The present
ty government has had to meet $780, f
20 of overdue interest that their prede-
'ssors should have provided for. The
ew administration has to bear it's own E
urdens and those of the previous regime,
Id should be literally treated by the
sople and the press, while they continue
their present laudable financial course.
