New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-10-23
ON CARONDELET STREET.

NdIouueIeC ana the WnOlo CITY are now
being relieved from the incubus of the
quarantine which has SO long embarrassed
merchants and shippers by interruptin9
trade between New Orleans and Texas,
Cuba, the Florida ports and other marts
Of trade. F. w. Perkins, 26 Carondelet,
of the Alliance line Of steamers, says quar-,
antine was raised at Apalachicola on the
fifth, that a dispatch from Mayor
Humphreys, of Pensacola, says it Will be
raised at that port, as to New Orleans, on
the twenty fifth instant, and the rest OF
the world November first, and that it is
already off from our port, although no
official notice of this fact has been promul-
gated. Inquiring OF William Chevy,
steamer agent at 30 Carondelet, if his
Boston line of steamers would not again
be put on, so that we can have commerce
by steam all along the Gulf and Atlantic
coast, that gentleman replied in the mega
tive, but says almost an equivalent to this
is had by his Philadelphia and New Or
leans line (Yazoo and Juniata), connect
ing with an excellent line running between
Philadelphia and Boston. He gives also
the gratifying information that his Yazoo
makes her next trip Friday, via Havana,
quarantine being off, and that he has tele-
graphed to Philadelphia for the Juniata 70
come hither by Cuba.
While speaking of these prospects of
renewed trade it may be mentioned that
Mr.. J. J. Williams, who was principal
assistant engineer on the survey of the
Tehuantepec Railroad route under Major
Barnard some twenty years ago, and who
collated and published a book from the
official reports Of that survey year
later, and who has taken q deep interest
ever since in that route as tie best for a
national interoceanic canal, was on
Carondelet street yesterday, urging a line
Of steamers to be at once started to
Tehuantepec.
Thus is a new era beginning to dawn
upon the Crescent City, and mems minds
on Carondelet street are becoming more
energetic, and are being diverted to new
and grander channels OF trade Engineer
Williams is making short rest at the
City Hotel, where it is hoped he will have
the same active and liberal cooperation
Of New Orleans gentlemen III his Tehuan-
tepec enterprises as were always shown by
our citizens toward that grand Isthmus
design.
The stock trade was not very active on
the street yesterday, and it was less
lively at the board last night but as we
are told "despise not the day of small
things" the sales made are not to be
despised, and they are given as follows
