THE FIRST OF APRIL.

The announcement in the REPUBLICAN,
Of yesterday Of a caucus of the new Ad-
ministrators to decide on the claims of
applicants Office, created a good deal
of agitation among those who are anxious
to serve the city. 1t likewise gave one OF
our contemporaries occasion to make some
excellent moral suggestions, which, no
doubt, will have due weight with the gentle
men to whom they are addressed It,was
unfortunate, however, that the caucus
should have been called for the first Of
April, as, in consequence Of the suspicion
that something of the character of the day
might attach to acts performed thereon,
the Administrators, we are told, concluded
to postpone their meeting. Office seekers
must, therefore, possess their souls in pa
tience, and console themselves with the
reflection that they have little longer
time fer preparation and entreay.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-04-02
ON CARONDELET STREET,

Cold was still little weaker yesterday,
but not enough so to make any material
difference in prices. The opinion seems
to be now that the funding bill will be
adopted. and this expectation is urged by
the New York papers as an explanation of
the weakness of the gold market. Whether
or not the bill, even passed, will have the
full effect attributed to it, is a matter of
considerable doubt. The national banks,
it appears, are making persistent efforts
to defeat the seventh section of the bill,
which, in reality, is its best feature. If
that provision is eliminated from the bill,
its effect, as "specie basis" measure, will
be seriously impaired. As it passed the
Senate the bill Affords facilities for placing
$500, 900, 600 of the new bonds if it should
be altered IN that respect, it is difficult to
see how any large amount could be placed
at all, unless the government is prepared
to take up an equal amount offive-twenties,
which, of course, is out of the question.
The banks represent that they can not
make any money under the new system.
But it is reasonable to suppose that any
amoant of banking capital, actually de-
manded by the business necessities of the
country, can be proftably employed, and
more than that amount would only be
withdrawn from naturally more productive
employ ment, in order to take advantage
of the bounty paid in the way of high
interest on government bonds. 1t would
seem that four and half per cent On the
whole amount invested, and thus levied
on the productive industry OF the country
ought to be sufficient gratuity.
The only excitement in Carondelet
street yesterday was in levee stock, which
rose from seven to eleven, under the IN
fuence of strong and well manipulated
"bull" movement.
Slaughterhouse was still weak yesterday,
and was offered at 1as, without finding
purchasers. Last night it was offered as
low as 1917.
Ship Island was very quiet, only small
lots changing hands at 40. There has
been very little animation in this stock

THE NEW MOTIVE POWER FOR STREET
CARs.-We paid q visit yesterday to the
Office of Mr. Weidershiem, No. ll3 st. Charles
street, and examined his invention, by
which he hopes to Go away entirely with
the use of horses and mules for street cars;
and make the man who nCw drives these
animals, (by a slight increase of this labOr)
propel the car in their stead. He proposes
to make no change IN the shape or size OF
the cars now in use; but simply attaches
behind them wheel, somewhat resembling
the steering wheel of q steamboat, the
spokes of which rest upon the ground. and
when turned by the man on the platform.
prOpels the car with almost any re-
quired degree of rapidity. The man is
enabled to turn this wheel easily by means
of combination of levers, quite simple and
easily understood, and it appeared to us
that there could be no doubt about the
practicability of the invention. Hitherto
persons who have set their brains to work
to discover some means by which cars could
be propelled by hand, always failed to get
rid Of the idea that this must be done by
crank. attached to the wheels of the Car.
But, then, they found that when they got
speed, power to transport heavy bodies was
defcienti and when they found power,
speed was wanting. Hence, they abandon.
ed the scheme as hopeless of further
utility than for mere hand care, for
short trips. But Mr.. Weidersheim
left the old course, and by applying his
power exactly as it is applied by the horse
Except in the difference that his power is
applied behind, and hence has more efecD,
has, We believe, struck the practicable thing.
If he has, it will form a new era in street
railroading, as it will decrease the expenses
of propelling the cars to about a sixth of
what they now are. At any rate, there are
a great many of our citizens who think he
has, and they are now forming joint-stock
company, with capital of $500, 900, to i'm
me5istely commence operations, with view
to testing the matter. Persons DESTROYS of
becoming interested in this great invention,
can do 80 by applying at No. ll3 st. Charles
street, where model of the machine is on
exhibition at all hours. The new company
is called the pelican Propellpg Company"
and Only very small ins.allment of the
stock will De called for until the experiments
are made.

A FOUNDLIGG INSTITUTION.

\ recent case before one Of the Record
ers of this city, in which a young lady who
circulates in the best society, and against
whose character not a whisper had pre-
viously been heard, was charged with in
fanticide, and the many cases of abortion
which constantly find their way into the
public journals, are calculated to direct
the attention of the pbilanthropic to the
necessity of establishing "Foundling
institution" in this city. 1t is believed
that the establishment of such an iDstitu-
ton on proper basis would have great
tendency to diminish the crimes
growing out of Illicit intercourse,
and would provide for the offspring
of parents in necessitious circumstances.
In New York 'Ladies' Founding Aid
Society" has been formed, and is already
doing much good. -Four hundred and
two babies have already been found in
the basket crib of the home of the society
I'D to the latest date, from which we can
form some idea Of how urgent must be the
demand for a. regular 'naiSon deS e'gans
troaves. Thirty children have been taken
in during the past week. On one after
noon, about four O'Clock, three mothers
with babies in their arms arrived stimuli
taneously at the Founding House door.
It must have been q touching spectacle to
witness their tears, end last embraces OF
the little unconscious sleepers, as they de-
posted them one after the other in the
basket. The present home of tie so
ciety is considered only a reception house,
by no means meeting the demands Of the
charity undertaken, and new founding
asylum on large scale is now IN conten-
plation.
viii not some Of the pbilanthropic
ladies Of this city inaugurate movement
for the establishment of similar institu-
ton IN our midst? One is certainly
needed, and, in q city where SO many
noble charities are established and sus-
tanned, there certainly ought to be good
institution for the reception of children
born Of unfortunate parents.

THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE.

1t one time before the late war the
order of the Sons of Temperance was as
powerful an organization as any moral or
benevolent order in this city. Its divisions
were numerous and consisted of many
members Of the highest responsibility and
talents; ats celebrations were always con-
Quoted On al imposing scale and were
attended by our best citizens. Since the
war, the order has not thrived az its
friends desired, and its most active mem
bers have devoted themselves to study
of the means whereby its thin ranks
might be enlarged aud recruits OBJ.
tanned. "Pelican Division Of the order
of Sons of Temperance has just published a
circular addressed more particularly to the
priesthood and clergy of this State
urging them to aid the cause of temper
ance. The circular denies that the order
is secret society. Its name, objects
and proceedings are published to the
world, and its principles invite fraternal
organization, and the encouragement Of
morality and temperance, and strengthen
and assure the practice Of these virtues by
the mandates of religion, the effect of ex-
ample and the solemnity OF the pledge.
As a moral power in the land, it engenders
neither sectarian, social or political preju-
dice, and every year extends its operations
I'D fba nf
The world at large is entreated to unite
its endeavors for the advancement of the
order as a great reform. The strongest
ties of love and friendship bind tog tther
all who compose the order. and its cere-
monies teach and encourage emulati Pn in
the practice of virtue, love to God, our
country. and our fellow-man.
In order to do away with the oppreheu-
sions groundiessly entertained by various
religious denominations, and more par
ticularly by some members of the Catholic
Church, that they can not, with consistency
and fidelity to the vows they have
undertaken, embrace membership in the
order of the Sons of Temperance, be-
cause of an unfounded suspicion that the
order is of class of secret and mysterious
organizations, whose principles and pur-
poses are presumed to initiate with or OPP
pose established institutions and ordi-
nances of the Holy Christian religion.
'sPelican Division has publicly declared
that the order has no other purpose or OBJ
ject In view than to promote and encourage
temperance, sobriety, and total abstinence
from the use Of all intoxicating liquors as
beverage; and that the principles of the
order are not in any manner in conflict
with the religious, political, or social
duties, or opinions Of any one; and that
it is with profound sorrow and regret
that the members witness that the forms
aud ceremonies of the order, instead OF
meeting with appreciation and encourage
ment, should, in the minds of some, be
subject to demonstration and suspicion.
However this may be, we hope the cause
of temperance will prosper among us, and
that the evils of intemperance may be
surely and entirely removed from us.
