SO-CALLED AMERICANS IN EGYPT,

1t is very funny reading how the Amer
lean officers with confederate ,sympathies,
who left the United States because they
could not live happily under it's despotic
sway, are enjoying themselves serving the
Khedive in Egypt. They are having a
bully time, living on the fat of the land,
and looking out for a war with Turkey.
The Khedive who has taxed the Egyp-
tians until he hardly knows the extent of
his wealth, pays these Americans hand
somely, and they are delighted with
service where one mans will is sufficient
to end another mans life. Then, Egypt
IS moral country, where every man is
willing to sell his wife, two thousand dol
lars being high price for a second hand
article OF this sort, and two bits being the
lowest rate for an ordinary woman. AT
times these Republicans are allowed to
eat with the Khedive; but their usual
occupation is to wait around until they
get an order to q out and either to shoot
somebody themselves, or allow somebody
else to shoot them, about quarrel of
which they know nothing, and for prin-
ciple which they pretended to oppose when
they fed from their own country. There
may be great deal of chivalry in this
kind of conduct, but there is very poor
showing of humanity. The United States
did not lose much when these Egyptian
Americans left her borders, for their

Can an organ be kicked out o. party
without knowing it? This inquiry was
suggested by the fact, which is apparent
to US, that the Co1uier-J0urnal has been
violently extruded from the Democratic
party, and yet it seems to be utterly
oblivious to the fact. That it is out is
proved by the inquiry which it makes,
SIS there any disturbance in the Demo-
cratic party?" for if it was in, it would
know that there was disturbance in the
camp, and big, big one, too. Is our
conclusion illogical?

ON CARONDELET STREET.

Gold closed yesterday from one to three
eighths in advance of the New York rate,
quoted at twelve and one-eighth. The
sales made embraced no more nor any
greater sums than are usually disposed of
every day. There is a report of S13, 900
which sold at twelve and fve-eighths, for
the purpose of paving off import duties,
and of other small lots less than the above.
But gold shows no disposition to fuctuate.
1t now is properly ranked among the
steadies, the only difference being the
fraction of cent. Tn ere are no corners
in the root Of all the evil, nor any oppor-
tunities of late.
So active has been the demand, and so
ready the sales of ordinary cotton, that
the "middings seem to be going out
of favor, and can not be sold except for
less rates than the lower grades bring in
proportion. The sales do not pass the
hundreds, and the inquiries are easily
satisfied. The late receipts of -four were
not of the high grades, which are in such
active demand, and of which it seems the
market is deprived. About three thou
sand barrels are reported as having been
sold yesterday, the treble extra waiting
for seven dollars, and getting it without
trouble, and the choice extra going off
easily at nine dollars. The demand for
the higher grades is supposed to grow
out of speculative intentions.
A glance along the street does not show
that the world moves. Stocks able to
hold their own are bid for in listless
way, and the bid is refused in like in
difference. Holders say they will take
so much, but at the same time do not
care whether or not they get it. Every
body is waiting. One stock rises-all
rise. Such is the general anticipation.
Holders of Pneumatic are out of wind,
and no longer dilate on the force of COM
pressed air.
In city ten per cent certificates, the
holders of which are to be paid in ten
per cent bonds, the brokers are for the
most part the only holders, and rates are
nominal. The other stocks of COM
panies whose rights are yet undeter-
mined are not quoted at all, or if men
toned, ''holders can't give them away"
to use the expression of ga perfect bear"
The blue warrants are to be taken up in
seven-thierties, but as these last are not
worth but sixty, the warrants will GER
tainly not be worth more. No sales
were reported in levee yesterday, and
there are various statements made as to
the stipulations Of the contract between
T. A. Scott, H. S. McComb and the
Louisiana Levee Company.
"Those who buy in get seventy thou
sand shares from the company" said one
party, ''and in return advance one hum
dred and twenty thousand dollars in
cash, at the same time guaranteeing to
furnish all the money wanted to carry on
the work.
"They hav'nt advanced the one hun
bred and twenty thousand in cash." re-
torted another party, ''for I know they
now propose to pay this amount in bonds
when they get them from the State"
"No," said third party, "this is the

way it is They get twenty-seven thou
sand shares, sixteen thousand OF which
are given against the payment of one
hundred and sixty thousand dollars for
the sixteen incorporators, which, with
twenty-three thousand shares, will make
the capital of the company five millions
of dollars"
These are the different statements made
by the branches of the levee stock inter-
est, and all of them are laid before the
public, showing how difficult it is to de-
termine the real state of the case.

A telegraphic dispatch from Paris states
that NJ. Theirs purposes to give Cor
sica to the Pope. If France can trans
fer the Corsicans in this way; all that was
said by way of objection to the donation
of Alsace and Lorraine to Prussia falls to
the ground, for it was founded on the
proposition that these States could not be
transferred from one sovereignty to an
other without their own consent.

Charles McWilliams is the prize big-

Charles McWilliams is the prize big
amist of the West. He confesses to
having seven wives in the State Of
Illinois. His matrimonial performances
were boldly conducted in a circle of one
hundred miles, and his choice was not
confined to any particular class of women.
He stepped at widows house one night
and listened to her mournful story of how
she he'd been robbed of all her possessions
but one COW and calf. He married her
next morning, drew her COW and calf to
town the same day and sold them, peck
eted the money, and never returned. He
could preach like Beecher, was a first
class lawyer, had pleasing countenance
and captivating manner, was good on the
fiddle, and danced like a ballet master.
He is now in prison, but promises himself
new crop of wives as soon as he gets out.

a funny thing if the package was captured
on its route to this city.

Since Governor Hoffman interfered to
preserve the right of public procession in
New York the Democracy of that city has
discovered that he is a Dutchman, and
unworthy to be mentioned for the Presi-
dency. We do not think that Governor
Hoffman acted with entire sincerity in his
interference against the mob that threat
ened the Orangemen, but this sort of de-
nunciation from the rioters will have the
effect of setting him up in the estimation
of the American people if it continues.
Perhaps the rowdies will furnish the evil
dence that the orderly nature of the
Dutchman that was in Hoffman made
him the enemy of the rioters. If they do,
the Governor will have nothing. to COM
plain of.

1t viii be remembered by our readers
that Lieutenant or Captain John c. Brain,
Of the confederate navy, was detained in
prison for many months after the other up
heldeEs Of the lost cause had been paroled
and permitted to 60 to their homes. But he
was finally released and, after various
phases Of fortune, is now in this city, where
he is announced to lecture, at Masonic Hall,
this and Friday evenings. The subjects of
his lectures will be found in the notice in
the appropriate column. There is no
doubt that Captain Brain will entertain his
audiences, as he will speak of matters he is
familiar with and describe scenes in which
he has been participation. And now, that
the strife IL long since subsidized, and the
mellowing influence Of time has allayed
the personal animosities engendered by it,
we can al, without distinction of political
preferences, derive pleasure from listening
to the narration of some of the leading
events Of the stirring times by man whose
bravery has never been questioned and
whose personal honor and integrity are adj
mitted BY his political opponents to be of
the first order. Tickets for the lecture are
for sale at the book and drug stores and
at the REPUBLICAN Office.
