PUTTING IT TOO STRONG.

DR.. Lieber, whoever he is, thinks that
the salvation of the country depends
upon the establishment of q religious
daily paper in each large American city.
Our experience of the religious press
in Louisiana is, that if all the denomi-
national organs in the State here issued
daily, their existence would hardly be
known and their influence would certain
ly not be felt outside of few theological
disputants. 1t does not depend upon
the frequency Of good counsel SO much
as it does upon its urgency and attrac-
tiveness to make advice profitable; and
while our religious organs confine their
efforts to berating their readers because
the foreign mission fund is not in
creased, they can not expect to be very
useful to the heather at their own door.
A live church organ in New Orleans
would be an addition to the journalistic
literature of the day, but the material is
not sufficient for a daily. Let it be
weekly until We see how it heads.

WHAT ABOUT CUBA?

The Spanish Cortes was greatly excited
over debate which occurred on Wednes-
day upon the proposition made by Senior
F1guerra to sell the island of Cuba. This
is the old story over again. Spain de-
layed the recognition of Mexican indie
pendence for twenty-four years, holdi no
on to the vain hope of reconquering her
western dependency for years after she
had ceased to make an effort in that direc-
ton. She will do the same thing about
Cuba. 1t costs her double what she gets
from the island to keep it at present. and
the difference will 60 on augmenting until
some crisis in her affairs compels her to
part with the colony. Every quarter new
detachments of soldiers have to be sent to
Havana, and these only die, or are killed
of, to be supplemented by other rein
forcements from Spain. Complaint is
made at Madrid that Cuba costs too much,
requiring an outlay of forty or fifty mil
lions of dollars yearly more than was
formerly voted. This condition of affairs
can not continue. It will ruin any gov
eminent, and Spain is so nearly ruined
already that she can stand it but for a
little while. If the United States should

ON CARONDELET STREET,

Cotton is still waited on by admiring
throngs, and demanded in large quantities.
Supplies are shy-offerings scant. The
tables resemble an empty bin or one of
Helmbold's Observation-Disclosures spaces,
but little type. The cotton figures show
the stock on hand and on shipboard nearly
equals the stock for the corresponding
period last year. There are no reasoners
like numbers, and these point by analogy
to the coming crop as not being so short as
the long crop men argued month ago.
Sales are nearing 1000 bales dav: we're
the crop to be but three million, would the
sales, as compared with 1870, approach so
near9 Had we not a multitude of prophets
in that year of ''war, pestilence and
famine who "died on" three million when
it turned out four! Don't let any bets be
made on such brevity; the favorite theory.
like the popular nag, goes under in the
race. A retrospect of days back shows
little variation in prices, which are about
the same, but no grass grows on the road
taken by cotton from steamer to shin
board, and the transit is rapid. Yesterday
was another triumph. Factors hold on in
grim superiority to old rates, and EXPECT
changes in their favor. There is one Ger
tainty: scarcely anything is heard of crop
reports, unless one goes to generalizing on
a foundation of ''ifs."
Another spell of dullness has settled down
on transactions in stocks, which are held at
figures established by the board of brokers
without any appreciable change. For one
who has larger amount of confidence
than, in a just distribution, he may be en-.
titled as buyer, he must and does pay for
it, and must give good price, higher than
the rate. Such transactions can not be
held as proof Of value. In Levee stock, it is
noticed all parties are buyers, showing
some anticipations of future adjustment.
There is also theory in this connection
worthy of one place in calculations, and
his is, that there is no design Of setting the

The Times of Wednesday publishes its
budget of city expenses for next year,
and puts the Metropolitan police down as
an absorbent to the extent of $500, 900.
This attempt of our contemporary to
make capital against the police admins
tration at the expense of the truth, is on
par with its former declaration that the
expenses Of the police department during
the last fiscal year footed up clean mil
lion. The Times is heavy on assertion,
but pays little regard to facts when it feels
inclined to ''pitch in" The police ex-
penses for the year ending thirtieth Sep.
TENDER, were long way under the ap-
portionment, and during the current year
they will probably not come up to the
greatly reduced estimate of the commits
sioners. The apportionment for the whole
Of the Metropolitan district for the pres
ent fiscal year, ending September 30,
1872, is under S725,OOO This includes
the disbursements for the old city of New
Orleans, Jefferson City, Carrollton, JET
ferson, left bank, Gretna, Algiers and St.
Bernard; but the Times puts the police
expenses of New Orleans alone for the
present police fiscal year at s75O,OOO,
and though the apportionment made
covers October, November and De-
cember, 1871, it joyously adds its
own additional apportionment for these
months, $50, 900, so as to be able to say
that the police force costs the city $780,
600 per annum. Such figures lead to the
query whether the Times is willfully ig-
norant or willfully mendacious?

wEAKHEss CRIT1msINa STRENGTH.

WEAKNESS CRITICISING STRENGTH.
New England does not propose to
become, nor is she afraid Of becoming
Mongoianized, as the Times intimates;
but she proposes to do just what she has
done, and be just what she has been,
liberal to all men and free to all thought.
1t ought to be matter of pride with every
American that New England, by her ex-
traordinary progress in school teaching,
has attracted to the United States the
young men of all nations. Even Japan
and China have sent their youth to Mas
sachusetts to be taught in those wonderful
schools that have sent out the ruling
spirits of the American continent and the
most famous men of the world. It i'll
becomes Louisiana, which has borrowed
teachers from New England, which has
bought school books from the Yankees,
and which has sent her children to Yale
and Harvard for half century, to be
deriding the very source and fountain
head of her own intelligence, for those
very qualities which have commanded
tribute from ourselves. When the South
has spread the public school system
throughout her entire borders, until every
Southern child shall be graduate in the
elementary department Of knowledge;
when our academies and universities
shall vie with those of Europe and divide
the patronage of the world with New
England, then it will be time for Us to
point at the defects in Massachusetts, be-
cause our own pre-eminence will give us
title to be considered censors. Atpresent
our criticism is something akin to the i'm
pertinence of the Parsee who snubs the
sun for its spots.

Orleans:
SlR-We are much in want cftwo of your FAMILY
SEWING MACHINES. and propose to give you in
exchange for them, one each, Singer and Wheeler
Wilson. If You accept our offer it will take from
us the last Of five of the other patterns Of
machines that we have disposed of to give place
to yours.
We have had much experience with several Of
the leading Sewing Machines, and feel that we can
say, without injustice to any one. that the
ELASTIC STITCH MACHINE
Of your Companys make is far superior to
any that we have used. Its simplicity
small effort required to operate, and the great
strength and elasticity of its seam, are qualities
We have never found equaled in any other. Since
the introduction of your Sewing Machine into our
Asylum it has always been the favorite with our
children, and often . source of much contention
among Them as to who should have the privilege
of its use.
During the past two years we have had five OF
your Sewing Machines in constant use, and large
quantities Of work Of every description for fami'
lies has been done on them. We have never had
any complaint from those for whom the work has
been done, but, on the contrary, much praise for
md A. oh
We most earnestly hope that you win accept our
proposition to exchange and favor us by SENDING
your machines ct the earliest opportunity.
