ON CARONDELET STREET.

If Carondelet and the whole city were
not in mourning yesterday, they We're at
least in half-mourning; the full lamenta-
ton for the sad loss of the great soldier,
Lee, will be observed to-day, however,
when doubtless business will be suspended
by most of the merchants and business
men of the city. The Board of Brokers
adjourned over until tonight, Friday, so
that no business was transacted by it
last evening. From the dearth of bust
ness, the continued drouth, and scarcity
of money, it seems just now almost like a
''city of the dead" Money is certainly
not abundant, yet all whose credit is good
in bank can be there accommodated to
certain limit at per cent per annum.
Outside Of this circle, and on the street.
of course the rate runs up to as high as 5
per cent a month, at which figure loan
was made yesterday. A dearth of water
certainlyis felt here, notwithstanding water
privileges are decidedly abundant in New
Orleans, with the Father of Waters on
several sides of it, Lake Pontchartrain on
another, and water all over the citya sixth
part Of the year, and watering places all
along shore to Mobile. Water now is
about the only commodity which bears
premium. When brokers can't find it,
they go into liquidation, as they call it,
at Hawkins. Business is impeded, of
course, not by the scourge of yellow fever,
but by the alarm created abroad by exag-
gerated and false reports of this plague
here. Only eleven died of fever yester-
day. But if we do die reasonably fast
there are more than as many births to
keep the account good. Half a dozen
twins (boyS we're reported recently.
Glorious sea breezes are giving great pu-
rity to the atmosphere.
Speaking Of water reminds ~ of ieA

ne positive law Of Louisiana only recog-

the positive law Of Louisiana only recog-
nizes labor term of one year. If the
Chinese are willing to come here as other
| people come, there is no law against 1t,
and the sentiment of our free institutions
invites them. But they must come as
free men, and they must live as free men.
They may engage to work at whatever
rate of wages they can obtain, but we
want them to make their engagements
here, ard with their eyes open. Ii they
hire out in China to labor for eight dollars
per month, they cheat themselves ignor-
antly, and the laws of this country will
absolve them from any compliance with
such an unjust bargain. But if they have
mind 10 engage and work for five dollars
per month after they have arrived in
Louisiana, that is their business. We do
not propose to interfere to regulate any
contract made between free and intelh-
gent men in this State If the law up
holds it, we uphold it. There are certain
Cinnamon already, whose control they
are under, or that they are under any con-
troll, is not a matter that concerns US if
they are satisfied. And if they are not
satisfied, and their control is a matter of
oppression, the law is open for them, and
We stand ready to assist them in uphold
ing their individual rights. And in this,
as in other matters, it is plain
to see how much superior the
REPUBLICAN is to the Democratic organs.
We stand on principles which are uni
versal. They stand on facts which are
isolated. We look at the Chinese ques-
ton as matter affecting the industrial
interests of the State and people. They
nose around to find out whether it is
Democrat or Republican that has hired
these men, and if it is a friend, they say
but if it is a Republican, they
denounce the party for what one man is
doing Our denunciation is leveled at
friend and foe, if in the wrong, in order
to sustain principle. This is broad and
manly politics. 1t is worth serving up to
our readers. The other is kind of Paul
Pry business that we do not understand,
and could never follow.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY OCTOBER H. 1870

Inquiry was made for Louisiana Ice Man
ufacturing Company's stock yesterday
The answer was that holders don't care
to part with it; that $50 per share of $50
is about the standing, but it would not be
offered at that. 1t seems to be not only q
paying institution, but one that has proven
God-send to us, with the scarcity of ice
this season, by keeping down the price.
The manufactory has a capacity of about
eighteen thousand tons per annum, and,
as it sold all it made this season, together
makes some money at $40 per ton. This
shows what can be done ct home in a man
ufacturing way. Let others follow the
example of this company, and not con-
tinue to have everything manufactured for
them at points two thousand miles dis
tant. If our people will have change in
their pockets, they. must first have some
in their habits of life. In that case,
''change will follow change
This leads to a remark that 104 shares
of Mississippi Valley Navigation Company
sold yesterday at 50 50. During the day
50 SO was generally the Offering rate, and
So the asking.
In city securities the sales were three
lots of $4,000 each of new seven per cent
city bonds at 723, and $4,000 at 10
Seven hundred and eighty five dollars
Metropolitan warrants were disposed of
at 9S4, and $500 at 9S3.
Two thousand dollars new State war
rants brought but 734, but $1,000 and
$1,000 sold for 49,, while small amounts
of small warrants went at IS to ISL.
Fifteen hundred dollars of Fiscal
Agency certificates sold for SGaa, which was
the principal amount of the real stock
business done yesterday, though there
was great deal of talking, and very
nearly many more sales. Slaughterhouse

own, while the Democrats have fully &C
cepted the figures of the New York
World, which showed conclusively that
extraordinary Democratic gains were GER
tain in every State A claim was put in
for two-thirds of the Pennsylvania and
Ohio delegations; another Democrat or so
was to be added from Indiana, and they
were sure of at least two from Iowa.
The defeat of John Lynch in the Port
land district of Maine, was to give the De-
mocracy a foothoJd in the stronghold of Re
publicanism-New England-and from
various other States gains enough were
to be secured to give the Democracy a
majority in the House. But Maine refused
to defeat John Lynch; there is no change
in Iowa; Indiana is doubtful; the Repubi-
cans have certainly gained two members
in Ohio and probably lost two; in Penn
sylvania the Democrats have possibly
gained a member, but we are, by no
means, sure of that
DlC Tile D6SC remains To De lOlu. LltllS
Delaware, that has never failed to vote
Democratic since the death of John NJ
Clayton, has recently given Republican
majority of several hundred, and there is
some prospect that we shall have a Re-
publican member Of Congress from that
State. Furthermore, Republican Legis-
lature may have the pleasure of electing
the successor of Senator Willard Sauls-
bury, whose term, luckily, will expire
next March.
The redemption of this little State from
the Democracy, will be a very gratifying
event Her two Senators have for ten
years been counted on the wrong side of
every question coming up before Con-
gress, and it is time for change.
On the whole, therefore, We have little
reason to be dissatisfied with the recent
elections We expect to do better here in
Louisiana, Of course, but are too reasona-
BILE to expect our Northern brethren to
fight the battle alone.

A GOOD CHANCE.

1t is the constant grief Of our Demo-
cratic friends that the colored people are
not nominated to more offices in the State
by the Republican party. Let this matter
no longer afiict the unterrifed, for We
have a remedy to propose which will suit
all around. There are some parishes in
the State that are largely Democratic.
Let the Democrats nominate and elelt col
trouble and affection of which they COM
plain will be remedied in a very consider
able measure. Our earnest desire to see
them out of their grief is the only excuse
we have for troubling them with this pro-
position.

A Good Joke.

A Good Joke.
The New Orleans Democrat has the fol
lowing, which explains itself:
RADICAL vERACITY.
Not long since, in shOwing up the fact
that number of carpet-baggers and scala
wags held two and more offices to the ex-
clusion of colored Republicans, and among
the names mentioned was that of S. b.
Packard who, we stated, ir addition to the
Office of United States Marshal. held those
OF Register of Conveyances and State Sen
atOr. This, the State Register says, lis all
true, except that Mr.. Packard is NOT Register
of Conveyances and State Senator and
adds, 'this is about as near the truth as
Democratic newspaper can usually GET
Now, we propose to show that we come
nearer the truth than the Register man,
who, 1t seems, prefers an erroneous state
suit his purpose.
We may have been in error as to Mr..
Packard having held the Office of Register
of Conveyances. There have been so many
moves upon the political chess board since
III. c. Warmoth has been clothed with die
tatorial power, that If is difficult for the I'M
initiated to keep the run of them. But We
were not mistaken when we stated that s.
Is. Packard was State Senator at the time
ne received lir appointment or United
States Marshal. land We say he is State
Senator until his successor is elected and
qualified, and if an extra session of the
General Assembly were called Tomorrow.
Senator Packard would take his seat and
draw his eight dollars per diem. No one
knows this fact better than the editor of the
Register, and yet he unblushingly says he is
not State Senator. We leave the public
to decide who comes nearest the truth.
This is too funny. as the ladies say. The
point is this: Marshal Packard was Regis
ter of Conveyances until he received his
present appointment from the President.
when he was succeeded by Mr.. Delassize.
now in the city government. He has never
been a member of the State Senate VIII

ANOTHER EVIDENCE.

The Democratic party, in the late cleo
ton in Cincinnati, attempted to win their
point by nominating the president of a
base ball club as candidate for one of
the city offices. The base bailists said
they were not to be caught by that man
ner of bride, and they took a turn at
voting the Republican ticket. This is
the treatment that all parties ought to re-
ceive who attempt to corrupt the politics
of the country Let men vote for prin-
ciples, and not for men.

THE NORTHERN ELECTIONS.

According to the custom Of the De-
mocracy, great expectations were predi-
Gated upon the result of the elections in
Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana, Iowa, New
Jersey, etc. And, as usual, the result has
not justified the predictions Of the hope
ful prophets The Republicans have not
counted upon doing more than hold their

The death of the Earl of Mayo, Viceroy of
India. leaves at Mr.. GladstOne's disposal
the greatest prize in the lottery of British
ministerial patronage. The salary is f25,-
900 per annum, with an outfit of 100000,
besides free passage for the Viceroy and
suite, and the use of palaces furnished in
royal style in Calcutta and other parts of
India. These are the direct advantages,
but the indirect emolumen are so immense
that the Indian Viceroy, after having ex-
pended the whole of his salary, usually at
the end of his official term of six years
brings back with him from 100000 to
fl50.000 in hard cash. He is forbidden to
receive presents from the Indian princes,
many of whom have the wealth of SOY
ereigns, but he usually comes back with a
fortune nevertheless.
