ON CARONDELET STREET,

1t is reported that proposition has
been preached looking to restriction
upon the reports of the doings of the
Brokers Board, published by the press,
so that the public may be informed only
of the prices given in cases of actual sale,
while kept i'll the dark respecting the offers
Of would-be buyers and sellers We are
inclined to the belief that this proposition
is made, if made at all, in mere lest. 1t
would amount to just this; Owe, brokers,
intend to keep the public ignorant, in
so far as we can, Of the value of their own
property in stocks, that We may trade
therein to our advantage; and We propose
to hoOdwink each other, as far as occa-
sion may permit, to the same end" But
as there is nothing in legitimate business
that viii not be in the full light of day,
We are confident that sober second
thought viii lead no one to desire any in
PERMISSION Of the publicity now given to
the brokers proceedings; besides, there
is very little prospect that an illiberal at
tempt to deprive the press Of the oppor-
tunity to fully present the condition of
the market, could meet with anything
like success.
The leading sales to which our attention
was yesterday directed, included 5000
city consolidated bonds, Friday and Sat-
urday, at the rate Of Toe $1,000 new
seven per cent bonds realized Il; and re-
sold at 719; $1,000 Friday brought III;

We call the attention of the public to the
publication of the charter OF the New Or
leans Antiseptic Alright Wood Burial
Case Company. The object Of this corpo-
ration is to perform inhumations and exhu-
nations without infection, in all the Gene
teries OF this city, after new system
highly appreciated in France, and patented
by the government Of the United States on
the twelfth of May, 1853. The Board of Health
Of this State, and the Medical Board of this
city, after having witnessed public expert
ments which were fully satisfactory, recon-
mend this new system as the most efficient
to protect the public health and comfort of
the population. This company will be able,
with its patented collins to proceed to make
a funeral, whatever may be the state of
decomposition of the dead bodies, to do it
without any danger or inconvenience, such
rs bad smell and miasma, affecting gen.
orally the public with the old system-even
the Using of metallic caskets. This COM
pany will have, by the firstof October, its
flee at No. ,2l Baronne street, but has
already established it's factory at " and "a

KEEP HER DOWN.

A gentleman by the name of Simmons,
who died recently in Boston, bequeathed
81 GOO, 900 to found school in which
women may be taught all the higher
branches of knowledge, and all the details
of the various professions, such as law,
surgery, telegraphy, etc. The New York
World is sadly savage about the bequest,
and says that woman is better adapted to
playing on the piano and figuring nice
slippers, than she is 10 any of the gener-
Gus employments which pay men such
good wages. Wives, says this New York
sage, can have no higher object than to
attend on their husbands and as the
graduates of this benifcent college will all
marry, what use will their knowledge be
to them. And so on.
1t is hard task to make Democrat in
name a Democrat in principle. Even
suppose the woman marries a fortune,
what harm viii her knowledge do her !?
Like the coffin of Mrs. Toodles, it may be
handy to have about the house. But sup
pose again, that she is poor and does not
marry, or does marry, but weds herself to
poverty like her own, what then can be
the objection to her knowing something
which will yield her support? Suppose,
too, that her husband falls sick, OF falls
into paralysis, and leaves her with a
family Of children to support and educate,
why should she not be prepared with a
profession or a trade to lit herself and
him above the necessity OF making shirts
at ten cents apiece?
1t is well enough to talk about pianos
and gilded slippers to the daughters Of
the world, but to the children Of poverty
there is no road that they can travel to
comfort, which should not be thrown
wide open for their use. Let her walk
with her burden wherever her strength
will carry her, then if she falls the blame
will not rest on the conscience of man
kind. But We are wasting our pearls.
The World is tied to that party which
mouths about the people while it stands
as defender of slavery to both the mind
and body. Woman must be raised up by
some other power.

But sirs, although 1 have been
trained to work in the harness, and
am now practising my habitual defer
ence to the party, must say that
II hold in my hand paper
which almost shakes my faith and life
long habitudes This paper, sir. "
holding the REPUBLICAN aloft, as the
| storm tossed sailor might fling out his
signal of distress from the lonely waste OF
waters, to some passing ship, "this paper,
sir, is a signal-ight that we might take
counsel from, if we expect to escape de-
shuction. It is two years ahead Of us in
political wisdom, and while l shk or
swim with the Democracy, because l have
not the strength of mind to do otherwise,
I wish we had the courage to accept and
declare what this internal Republican
organ urges upon the people. But am
afraid that the party is like me, afraid to
90 home to the people and tell them
the truth. May it please the court, |
have done"
Sergeant Buzfuz looked first at Timid
and then at the paper, which he held IN
his hand, and his look was enough to
settle the amicus curia back against the
post at once; and gradually the REpUBLI-
CAN disappeared behind him as if it was
unclean. So this little rebellion was
quenched, and Timid will hardly ever
raise as proud a banner alott again.
But did the indignant glare of the per-
spring Buzfuz suppress the important
truths which had been given with unex-
pected zeal from an unexpected quarter?
No, may it please the court and country.
We are safe in saying that Timid was
right and that before two years are gone,
Buzfuz himself will stand upon the house
tops and declare that the sentiment OF the
age and of the Democratic party then, and
ever did, demand that manhood should be
the test of fitness. All things to all men,
the weak to what is weak, and the strong
to what is strong. Seeing now, as
We have seen before, that the advance Of
truth is all around us with it's battaiions, we
maintain that Progress is inevitable and
that Prejudice must lose her suit. When the
haze and uncertainty Of the present has
cleared away, the people will say that the
REPUBLICAN has never failed to signalize
to the community Of which it was, and is,
and expects to be, part, the true line of
political advancement. Having just won
a four year old fight with the Democracy,
We are still admitted to be far ahead in the
spirit Of wisdom, and we propose to keep
up the contest until all our ideas are ac-
cepted as the Democracy has accepted
that of universal suffrage. Our chart may
not be accepted for the present, and the
paper may be hidden away as an unclean
thing by the Timids of this world, but it
will come to pass that the present viii not
be our only day Of triumph.

PROGRESS AGAINST PREJUDICE.

"And now," said Sergeant Timid, after
Buzfuz had concluded his well rounded
sentence, given in these columns the
other day, Il beg leave to address the
court as olnicus cu,id in this case, wherein
Progress is plaintiff and Prejudice de-
fendant." The court saw before it man
whose legs We're all right as to size, but
all wrong as to work, for they were tren-
ulous and uncertain over pair Of number
eight boots. His face was full enough,
but the lips did not contract about the
corners as they might have done if he had
resembled old Hickory, or Ulysses Grant:
and his eyes had a habitual wavering
about them as if their focus could never
be positively fixed. However, for the
nonce he was fortified by post behind
him, and was the further strengthened by
copy of the REPUBLICAN, which he
held gracefully in his left hand
The court acknowledged the presence
of the volunteer counsel, and Buzfuz was
too busy polishing off his indignant brow
to interrupt the orator. Besides, he was
actively engaged in biting off about two
inches of pigtail tobacco Il believe in
what the learned counsel has said about
the glories of this country, and OF the
extraordinary people who have lent lustre
to themselves, and to the institutions
under which was born and raised. am

RAIN At LAST.

April showers are pleasant institutions,
and the earth is grateful for their fall /;
but in the midst of summer, when the
ground is parched and the productions
are whitening under the blazing sun, the
rain that comes after sultry day to soften
and revive, is more than pleasure, it is
a blessing. Republicanism has been Sub
jected to such drought Of bitter persecu-
ton, unrelieved by even occasional sea-
sons Of peace, that it has almost come to
the belief that its fruitfulness was to be
the work of its own fertile and inexhaus-
tible productiveness. It has struggled
amid sea of difficulties, and although it
has admitted its shortcomings in some
particulars, wherein all humanity is alike
short Of perfection, it has made record
which it is not afraid to submit to all Just
and proper criticism. The State govern
ment is entirely to be credited with the
good that has been done, for it has
been forced to take control in many mat
tiers that had previously been left to local
direction. And particularly in the city
of New Orleans is this apparent in the
present management of our municipal
affairs. The Administration appointed
over this city is the work of Governor
Warmoth, and while he has never been
properly credited with the score Of other
good things which he has done, but on
the contrary, has been visited with the
red-heat of the drought which has fallen
upon the party in this State, the New Or
leans Times, of yesterday, comes down in
a gentle shower Of praise. It declares
that the present is the best city govern
ment which New Orleans has had for
years, and that its excellence is so great
that it only serves to set off to greater
disadvantage the disgraceful government
which the Democrats elected in 1868.
This is enough for one day, and Gov
ernor Warmoth will no doubt accept it as
some atorement for the thousand SLAM
ders which are daily being heaped upon
him by people who see the light bu: will
not acknowledge it.

mitted an offense, and the length Of time
has not elapsed which works an oblivion
of it according to law. Stating in the in
dictment that it occurred in the parish
of Jefferson would only work the GER
tainty Of description required by crimi-
nal law.
Not only is such view in consonance
with the common law Of England, but
the Legislature of Louisiana, containing
such lawyers as John Ray, Judge Foute,
Judge Braughn and Hon. r. n Ogden,
passed law transferring all civil and
criminal cases Of the late city Of Jeffer-
son to the proper and corresponding
would never have done had it not in
dubitably comported with the known
principles Of jurisprudence.
We can not make any more new par
ishes Or change parish lines in future, nor
even change the name Of parish, if any
time is to elapse between the proposition
or passage, and the approval or carrying
into effect. If such unwisdom is to pre-
vail in our criminal tribunals hereafter,
their jurisdiction may as well be turned
to the Ninth District Court, where Deputy
Bibulous prosecuted and made a joke of
the whole affair.
Criminal law may be scrupulous of OBJ
serving technicaGties, but they are gen
orally such as if disregarded would work
injustice to many. 1t is scarcely tenable
to argue that this must include cases of
the change Of jurisdictional power, or
work wholesale release of offenders in
such an event.
