MONEY,


Financial matters continue quiet, with

regular customers are being supplied by
the banks at the usual rates. Street
rates are unchanged but seem weaker,
owing to limited amount of paper seek

change is scarce and but few cotton bills
making; rates are as heretofore reported
tic premium selling and par buying.
City scrip is quiet and in light request at
Coo. Dealers ask 62 to 63c. City bonds
are dull at Abe. County warrants are
inactive at &c buying and Ga to 65c sell

few transactions; lie is the price paid
by dealers and lac the asking rates.
Gold is Iuiet and steady; the opening
rate in New York was ll6 and advanced
to ll6f. Our dealers purchase at lis.
Governments opened fraction better,
with medium demand. Sterling was
dull at 1891 and gold carrying without

Grand Concert by JoseHna Filomena.
This talented young artistic, who possesses
more real musical genius than any female
that has visited New Orleans during the re.
collection of our oldest critics, will give an
other of her unequaled concerts at Odd Eel
lows Hall on Wednesday evening, the
eighteenth Instant. Were it not for an in
nate, nstive modesty, which is almost in
sepsrable from true genius, Josefna would
BE the reigning sensation of the day. But
the gentle, young American is as retiring
and unobtrusive in private life as she is
grand in the concert room. The few who
have been so fortunate as to hear her in one
of her scenes of inspiration declare in un-
qualified terms their admiration. While
her performances On the violin are consid-
cred by the best musicians her forte, we
must put in a plea for her piano playing;
it is Incompatible and should be seen, not
described.
On the occasion OF her next concert she
will bring out a new piece, composed by
herself, entitled Scuba must be Free" The
whole orchestra belonging to the French
opera, and led by Fiomena herself as chief
of baton, will play in this piece. 1t will be
q novel and highly interesting spectacle.
The programme, which v i'll be found in an.
other column, embraces many gems. The
cornet solos of Senior Salcedo are delightful
performances, and alone worth the price of
ticket. Those who wish to obtain good
seats will do well to apply early at Grune-
wald's, on Canal street.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

Friday Slaughterhouse was sold for 500.
Last evening $40 was bid and $50 asked.
No one can find fault if We say that $50
was its full price at the close of business
yesterday. Of course, the market was
excited, and the brokers laid aside their
usual imperturbability for once. 4 fair
panic possessed the street, and though the
sales during the day were not heavy, they
sufficiently and decidedly indicated the
course of feeling among operators as the
day waxed and waned. Some few par
ties made a good thing by the
fall. 1t has not and will not cost
them very heavily to fill the contracts fall
ing due about this time. But there is
compensation in all things, and the fer
tune of these lucky few is fully balanced
by the reverses which have overtaken a
very considerable number. However,
most holders display good deal of pluck,
and are willing to hold on and wait for
events, at least for little while. If we
accept the loss to-day, on all the slaugh-
terhouse stock issued, as nine points the
share, we have clean fall Of S160,000 on
the merchantable value of this company's
certificates in single day. There are 90
600 shares out, and on this aggregate we be-
lieve $780, 600 has been paid in. The pro-
portion of loss to the original investment
is thus shown to be tolerably heavy, and
something that will not bear the beginning
of repetition until very considerable
rise is attained. How long that will be
deferred no man knoweth, but the prin-
cipal promoters of the prosperity O!
| Slaughterhouse are shrewd and fall of vim,
and it may very well be doubted if the wind
has all been knocked out of them yet. The
experience on the street yesterday was
certainly the gloomiest for many a long
day, and has given the rising generation
| of fnanciers chance for valuable obser-
vation, and has taught some of them what
may be wholesome lesson.
The cause of this grand panic is the is
suance of the writ of error by Justice
Bradley of the United States Su-
preme Court, at present presiding
in the United States Circuit Court
at Galveston, taking the Injunction suits
against the Slaughterhouse Company, be-
fore the highest court of the country.
What bond must be or has been given to
make the writ operate as supersedeas,
has not been made known to the public.
The following transactions in SLAUGHTER.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-05-15

house were reported to US yesterday: 400
and so shares at S27; two lots, of so each,
at SIG; 100 at 500; IS at s22; 100 at
$50 so, and 100 at 500.
The depression in Slaughterhouse at
fected the whole market as far as the
" fancies" were concerned. At the board
500 shares of Ship Island went at 81 As,
and at a second call 81 49, was asked,
and ST 40 bid. Levee people are not
very jubilant just now, but the private
kilograms yesterday from Washington
give them good deal Of comfort. The
prospects of their bill in Congress are de-
clared to be very encouraging. Fifty
shares of this stock were sold yesterday at
$11. The only sales of Navigation that we
heard of were twenty at 81.
The following shows the proceedings at
the Brokers' Board:

our own citizens in order to enforce the
laws. On the contrary, it is presumable
that there will be cheerful acquiescence
in all lawful authority, including the regis
tration, election and education bills.
General Longstreet was, beyond all
question, the ablest commander in the
Confederate army during the war. He
gained more brilliant victories than Stone
wall jackson and Lee put together. Upon
many holly contested field he saved the
latter from humiliation by his sagacity,
bravery, and the almost superhuman hold
he had over the minds Of his deluded bnt
brave followers. Had JEFF Davis pos
sessed even ordinary sagacity, and taken
the resolution to intrust the right man to
the right place, he would have made
Lopgsreet the general commanding, and
shelved such incompetent blunderers as
Lee, johnson, Bragg, etc. The history of
the war might have been different if this
had been done.
We think we are justified in saying that
with General Longstreet at the head Of
our militia, TO organize, equip and drill
the forces, many of the men who followed
his banners in Tennessee, Kentucky end
Virginia, will enroll themselves under the
State flag, and renew their hardly forgot
ten military brotherhood. This will be
done despite the senseless sneers and fall
lacious conclusions of those old dissatis-
fed spirits, who try to prolong the antag-
onisms, which never should have been,
and, make the eternal date Of years their
war;,

OUR NEW ADJUTANT GENERAL

The announcement in yesterdays Re-
PUBLICAN that Governor Warmoth had
appointed General James Longsreet to be
Adjutant General of the State was
received with feelings of high salts
faction by everybody, with the bare
exception of a few testy old gen.
tlemen, who have long since made up
their minds not to be pleased with any,
thing calculated to promote the public
good. The result of this exceptional feel
ing is a snarl in the evening Picaspme at
the great ex-Confederate general, in which,
as might be expected, the usual mac
curacies of statement crop out. In the
first place, the name of the distinguished
gentleman is plain James Longstreet, not
James S. Longstreet. Again, by this ap-
pointment he is not made subordinate to
Major General Hugh ]. Campbell, for. as
the chief of staff to the commander-in-
chief, he will be only subordinate to the
Governor, and will, as is the custom of
adjutants general. transmit orders to all
militia officers in the State. So, whether it
would or would not be flattering to the
Generals old comrades to see their former
commander subordinate to SOMEBODY be-
sides r. E. Lee, the simple facts of the
case are that he will not be so situated.
Besides, it is not reasonable presumption
that the Goveror anticipates the necessity
for using the militia Of the State against

a FAMILY PICTURE.

There IS no prettler picture on canvas
than the mental one lined by some word
artist, of the Beecher family of the old
DR.. Lyman Beecher, when in its unfedged
greatness it gathered around the spacious
family hearth, in grand autumnal frolic
of apple pairing, coring, stringing and
hanging to the long Stats overhead, that
there they might dry for winter use.
At such times, says this happy writer,
the old Doctor descended from his study,
aud yielding to the joy of the occasion,
became boy among his boys, and the
life of the innocent gaiety which ruled the
occasion.
There were some six sons and
two daughters, a. truly patriarchal
crowd, future preachers and wives
of preachers, bubbling over with
the rich music of joke and laugh. of
promptings to toll, and jostling of glee,
while over all the glad freight danced, in
unfettered ignorance of future stool, or
trammeled CRATE. The great back log be-
hind, encased in glowing embers; the huge
fore log, scarcely inferior to its over-top-
ping hacker, while between, the long sticks
doomed up with ruddy blaze, that sent light
and warmth to every niche OF the spacious
kitchen.
Henry Ward and brothers had, with
their own hands built the FIRE; Harriet
and Catherine swept and garnished the
room, a happy, working, thinking, old
fashioned Yankee family, simple in I'M
known greatness, which was yet to sway
the world; great in their simplicity, which
kissed the robe Of divinity with love, and
prayer, and songs of praise. A family
that, through fathers teachings, drank
first at the fountain of life before touching
the muddy stream of earthly pollution,
and so, never losing the blessed relish for
the pure and holy. A family, Graded
with hymns and prayers, and Sabbath
bells, so near the gaze OF heaven as almost
to catch a glimpse Of its rapturous glories.
A family whose earliest lispings were Of
God in deepest reverence, and whose pure
rejoicings were the natural flow of spirits
resulting from the gladness impaired by
the gifts OF Gods harvest bounty.
Thus, in that quiet nursery of God they
grew until, in his own good time, he call
ed them forth and set them one by one to
bear their fruit which should make peo-
pie free and nation great.
