is almost bare of interest. There was uni.
versal disappointment because neither the
United States Court or that presided over
by Judge Dibble, rendered any decision in
the Slaughterhouse cases. To-day, there
is likely to be new milestone set up in the
great bulchering controversy by each of
the courts named; but all day long yester-
day the fraternity Of inanciers fretted IA
mously for fear friends and foes should
fail to find the finale of their fight before
the finishing of the terms of court. The
persistent pluck Of the opposing parties
pervades all their public performances,
and still the bears boldly brave all the
belligerent measures of the bulls. The
bulls have the best of it, however, as evil
denced by the elevation of the stock yes
terday to full S21. 1t is useless to at
tempt to explain the rise. It has been
we'll managed, and may succeed to the
ample rewarding of those who have to
effect it. Just now, the slaughterhouse
controversy is in a greater mess than ever.
Judge Dibble fines the butchers
attorneys for contempt, on account
of expressions made use of in asking
the removal of certain injunction matters
to the United States Court, and the same
attorneys file an application in the Circuit
Court of the United States praying for the
removal, Notwithstanding the attitude as
sumed by the Eighth District Court for the
parish of Orleans. Among lawyers, be-
fore and above the bar, the Slaughter
house contention waxeth hot, and a
deeply interested public regardeth current
movements most anxiously.
The street was generally dull yesterday.
Beside the improvement in Slaughter
house, We can report gain in Metropoli-
tans, in the stock of the New Orleans,
Jackson and Great Northern Railroad, and
in old State warrants. A good deal of
activity was apparent in the stock of the
New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern
Railroad, and prices improved. There is,
evidently, a good share of confidence
toward the new management among par
ties who have spare capital to invest.
Some 1900 shares changed hands during
the day.
In speaking Of the projects of the new
city gas company yesterday, we fixed 1870
as the year within which the new mains
would be laid. We should have said 1874.
There is fair prospect for cheap light
throughoutNew Orleans and it's suburbs
in 1875, whatever may be the course
adopted by the old company. After that
date, if they have any rights, they are not
exclusive, and the people generally may
rejoice at the prospect,
Some interesting matters came before
the City Council last evening. Sam Smith |
& Co. and counsellor Thomas Hunton |
applied for interest on city notes held by |
them since January 1, 1869, and on city |
warrants, to run from the date of their |
issuance. Administrator Shaw's floating
debt ordinance, giving seven and three
tentbs interest on matured floating city
obligations not provided for by the city
charter, was adopted mem. con. This &C.
ton Of the Council will prove highly graft
flying to city creditors, and will tend to
improve the financial standing of New Or
leans, while it testiies much in favor of
the sound sense of Mr.. Shaw and his COM
panions in the administration of municipal |
affairs.
