ST, CHARLES AVENUE.

From appearances on st. Charles ave,
nue., it is not unjustifable to suppose that
the city authorities have deliberately de.
termined to leave the avenue in condi-
ton of semi-ruin, utterly impossible for
many squares. If this be not SO, why is
the thoroughfare suffered to remain in q
state uuit for use, unsightly and un-
healthy? 1t is well known that contract
was made by the city with the Southern
Paving Company, to lay Nicolson pave
ment on ST. Charles avenue from Tivoli cir
Gle to Toledano street. The company pro-
ceeded so far in the execution of the con-
tract as to displace the old pavement and
make the road utterly unfit for use, and
there they stopped. Since then st. Charles
avenue has not been used except by a
stray pig or hungry dog seeking bone
Every one is aware that the bad man
agement which has reduced the CITY
finances to very low ebb will postpone a
great many improvements until the mil
lennial time arrives when we shall have
recovered from our civic embarrassments.
But this does not apply to the restoration
of ST. Charles avenue, for that is in the
hands of company; and it is the plain
duty of the city authorities to have the
contract either enforced or forfeited.
The same culpable neglect of the city
is discernable respecting
the grade of the Carrollton railroad track,
the grade Of which is high out of all pro-
portion to the level of the road. Now
the city has the indisputable legal right
to require of the railroad company that
the grade of their track should be
lowered to correspond with the grade of
the street, and should the company neg
lect to fulfill this requirement, the city is
to have the grade lowered at
the expense of the company. Yet this
and inconvenient ridge is suf-
Fered to remain month after month, a
great impediment to every vehicle that
crosses at any of the intersecting streets.
In this case the embarrassed means of the
,ity can not be urged for the lowering of
he Carrollton railroad grade, for it will
lot cost one cent except to the company.

PRESERVING THE PEACE.

The Pieayune still insists that peaceful
professions, which may be distasteful to
rowdies, should be suppressed by the au-
-thorities, although the very concession
thus made involves the right of the police
to muzzle the Picayune itself in its express
sion of opinions which the majority dis
like or which the rowdies desire to abate.
Ii procession may be arrested because it
offends the notions of one class, why may
not newspaper be suspended because it
proclaims doctrines which are infam-
matory? 1t is violent suggestion, the
public will say, to intimate that the Plea
yane could ever be engaged in any such
decided or animated discussion as would
involve the public peace; but, then, sup
pose an advertisement was smuggled into
the paper that should have the effect to
arouse popular excitement, how would
the defender of Mr.. Kelso relish its argu-
ments as applied to its own case, that the
police authorities have right to suppress
any peaceful institution which is threat
ened with assault? If the Picayune de-
nounced gambling, or any other vice, and
the gamblers or any other body of lawless
men threatened to assail its existence if it
continued to live, under the law of public
safety, as laid down by itself, the author
tiles would be engaged in commendable
work if they suppressed the irritating
Picayllae. This is the Kelso caae. And
our contemporary not only asserts the
doctrine, but sticks to it.

ON CARONDEIET STREET,

Yesterday being the close of the week,
a day when the weeks transactions are
either reviewed or settled, there was not
much in the street operations to relieve
the deadness into which things seem to
have fallen. Sales of stocks were few,
buyers deferring offers until Monday
The recent rise in Union Bank of five
per cent within two weeks was quoted as
showing the upward tendency of a stock
upon which semi-annual dividend of
five per cent will soon be declared. The
belief was expressed that Lottery was SUBJ

whose only object was to bear it down,

The mothers of New Iberia, if bennett
is to be believed, spank their more intel
igent children if these family jewels
happen to discover that the Fourth of
July has arrived. The design of the
mothers of Attakapas is to forget that
there ever was such day; and they say
that the Planters Banner helps them to
forget almost everything except their
miseries and misfortunes. bennett
watched his own hopeful with an ex-
tended palm six inches in diameter,
ready to do the spanking; but the dark
ness was too thick, and the disloyal
father went to bed happy.

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1872.

The two great political parties of this
country are evidently squaring themselves
for the campaign of 1872. 1t is conceded
by old and experienced politicians that
this is likely to be one Of the most ex-
citing political campaigns that has taken
place for many years; and it will cer-
tainly be one of the most imp portant, as
the people will be called upon to confirm
all that has been done since 1861, when
the Republicans were intrusted with the
administration Of the government. Ten
years out Of Office seems like lifetime to
party that has been accustomed to po-
litical power and did not fail to bask in
its wealth when they had the opportunity.
Their fall from grace has been severely
felt, if not repented for, and they stand
ready to assume any attitude that will
once more bless and crown the Demo-
cratic banner with victory. They are
feigning some respect for the voice of the
people again; and a portion at least of the
Democratic party think it the part of wis
dom to abandon all past controversies as
"dead issues, and by coming in on the
New Departure platform, with the fag-
ends of all parties-which will embrace,
it is supposed, many sore head Repub-
icans, revenue reformers, etc.-the Dem
ocratic leaders already begin ''to
count their chickens before they
are hatched" States are already
classed as Democratic that have for the
past ten or more years stood firmly by the
principles Of the great party of progress
and freedom in this country. And this
classification is based on gains that have
been made by the Democrats in many of
the States that have been voting the Re
republican ticket. 1t may be readily
supposed these gains are more the result
of Republican apathy and mismanage-
ment than any growing popularity of the
Democratic party with the people. Yet |
the leaders of the Democratic party are
just smart enough to attribute the small |
gains that have been made by their party |
in some of these States to cause of this |
kind instead of the real one. Already
have we seen calculation made of the
States that are certain to 60 Democratic
in the next Presidential election, together
with those that will go Republican, and |

WHO ARE THE DIsoRGANIzERs7

When the Republican party went into
new constitution it was almost unit.
The contest was one of principle, and
the regular Republican State ticket was
elected by very large majority of the
votes cast, notwithstanding there was a
boilers ticket and Democratic ticket to
defeat. Governor Warmoth was made
the party's standard bearer in that me-
morable contest, and he led it to a glori-
Gus victory. Under his wise direction
the new government was successfully Or
ganized and put in motion. His con-
ciliatory course toward the few misguided
Republicans who had been seduced at
that early day from the true faith, restored
the most of them to their allegiance to
the party. The.esteemed gentleman who
was chosen by the bolters-Mr. Talia-
ferro-to be their candidate for Governor
in opposition to Mr.. Warmoth, was after
ward appointed by him one Of the judges
of our Supreme Court; and others of like
character were invited to take part in the
government. The different branches of
government, inspired by the pacific and
judicious course of the Governor, acted
in like spirit Of wisdom and harmony
for the general welfare. By appointment
of the Governor Supreme Court has
been secured for this State that would do
honor to any State in this Union. 1t is
composed of men of moral and intellec-
tual worth and high legal attainments.
This branch of the State government Of
Louisiana, as at present constituted, will
compare favorably with similar branches
of government in other States. The leg
islative branch of the government has
also, at all times, received, the friendly
attentions Of Governor Warmoth in all

per cent yearly, which is issued by COM
pany having the most unassailable OF
vested rights, be worth but seventy cents?
The effects of this combination are seen
in the weeks quotations, which are even
lower than seventy cents for such stock
which ought to be better rated.
. The charge of Judge Abel to the
Grand Jury was freely canvassed. AS to
the result upon the price of warrants of
the State to the illegal manipulation of
which the charge had drawn attention,
there were various opinions. A sanguine
broker ventured the assertion, that war
rants were sitter yesterday than for some
time, owing entirely to this charge.
The sales of the week in real estate
were "few and far between" and if there
were any made of consequence, it is un-
heard of. In the way of rents, it is i'm
possible to say how they will rate until
the opening of the season, though as re-
CARDS the mercantile part of the city,
tenants, of course, say they GUILD not be
much higher than they are. We are in
the dull and dreary season Of the year,
when all money operations are sluggish
and oppressive.
In stocks, ten shares New Orleans Ma
tional Bank were sold at a price not re-
ported. There was nothing doing in
warrants. State warrants large are
quoted at 50 and SIC, and medium and
small at 55 and 56c.

Nothing so conclusively establishes the
disorganizing and disastrous tendency of
the late Press Convention, and all similar
efforts of the party that originated it, as
the comfort which is felt at its results and
discords by the Democratic press. And
nothing should have greater weight in
preventing such affairs hereafter than the
unctuous favor with which their labors
are received by the opposition and the
relish with which the authors of the dis
order are abused by the very press which
praises their disorganizing work. The
Times halls the action of the convention
as auspicious. but denounces the editors
who wrought it as harpies. The Demo-
Gratis pet the discord while they scorn and
detest the discordants. II. this kind of

While the riot was in progress last
Wednesday in New York the mob attacked
the Jews, pitched into the Italians and
Swiss, and threatened to clean out the
Dutch. If the authorities had suffered
themselves to be browbeaten by this in
solent horde of rutfians into denying to the
Orangemen the right to parade, the next
step would have been to stop the Jews from
celebrating; then the Germans would have
been arrested in their professions; the
Italians would not have dared to remember
their deliverance from Rome, and lastly,
the Sunday schools would have been re-
quired to cease their offices, since all and
singular of these institutions give offense to
the insolence and bigstry that prevailed in
the New York riots.

CRIMINAL STATISTICS,

The reports from the several Recorders
courts, of which a record is kept in the
office of the Administrator of Police,
seem to show that warm weather has the
same effect upon the business of petty
otfenses against property as it has upon
almost every other business. We find a
difference of something near four hun
dred between the arrests for petty. of
fenses in January and the same class of
peccadillos in the month of June. This
may be accounted for by supposing that
the summer heat so relaxes the physical
system that rogues become too lazy to
steal except when pressed by hunger or
melted by the strong temptation of valu-
able plunder. The same rule seems to
hold in regard to petty crimes against the
person, as there are less arrests for knock
ing down, etc., in summer than in win
ter. 1t seems strange, too, for it would
not be unreasonable to suppose that the
heat of summer would influence the angry
passions and render men more liable to
strife. At any rate, the diminution of
offenses results in a diminution of fines;
so that roguery contributes to the city
treasury something like five hundred
dollars per month less in summer than
in winter.
