WESTWARD. HOt

1t is not necessary to be great prophet
in order to foretell that the Northern
States of Mexico are fast gravitating
toward the United States. For years the
tendency Of our people has been to ex-
pand over the territory west of the Mis-
sissippi, and many efforts have already
been made to acquire Sonora, chihuahua
and Lower California. When Mr.. McLane
was sent out to Mexico, in 1857, he was
instructed to negotiate for belt Of coun-
try across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec,
and also for concession of such a line Of
territory west Of Ell Paso del Norte as
would give to the American people a road
line from Texas to the Gulf of California.
At least this was the understanding on the
Quaker City while she was steaming
down to Vera Cruz. Perhaps the in

sEAMEN 8 FRIEND SOCIETIES

In 1928 the American Seamen's Friend
Society was organized in New York city.
In 1S49, coordinate society was organ
lied i'll Cleveland, Ohio. Since then various
branch and auxiliary societies have been
established in different States and cities.
These societies are controlled by boards
of trustees upon which are leading men
of all religious belief The work is thor
oughly unsectarian.
The avowed object in view is, first, to
improve the social, moral and religious
condition Of seamen; to protect them from
imposition and fraud; to prevent them
from becoming a curse to themselves and
others, and to save their souls and,
second, to sGrctify commerce, an inter
est and power in the earth second only to
religion itself, and make i: everywhere
serve as the handmade of Christianity
Toward the accomplishment Of this work
the societies employ missionaries and
chaplains to preach the Gospel and to
maintain Bethel churches in the principal
ports Of this and foreign countries. In
addition to its chaplaincies in the United
States, the New York society alone has
stations i'll Japan, China, the Sandwich
Islands, Peru, Chill, Brazil, France, Bel
GUM, Denmark, Norway, etc, and pro-
poses to establish yet Others as its
funds will allow. Besides preaching
chaplains are to visit the sick and dying.
and, as far as possible, supply the place of
parents and friends. There is also pub
lished SIaors' Magazine and .>eamen's
Friend, a monthly paper, intended to col
lect and communicate information, and
to enlist the sympathy and cooperation Of
the Christian world. Loan Libraries are
also published. These are made up of care
fully selected reading and put up in cases
containing from forty to Fifty books each,
and placed in the hands Of some one Of

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY FEBRUARY 28 1871.

q vessels crew, for the use of the officers
and men. During the last twelve years
1887 of these Libraries have been sent out,
containing $50, 600 volumes. The socie-
ties also contemplate the establ ishment
of sailors homes, reading rooms, savings
banks, and the distribution of bibles,
| tracts, etc.
Last year a summary of receipts from
all sources shows an aggregate of $1S3,
676 g.
For many years there has been q bethel
in this city, but the work accomplished
has not been what it should have been,
from lack Of means. We believe there
have been several efforts to organize an
| efficient port society, and that at one
time valuable property was held in
trust for the work. But the property
long since passed into the hands Of an
individual, and its use lost The bethel
is now. located in buildings below Jack
son square, and is in charge of Rev. L.
II. Pease, who hes good sized room in
which he holds meetings, and has books,
papers, etc, for the sailors.
The Rev. Harmon Loomis, D. D., CORE
spending secretary Of the American So
ciety, is now making the tour of the
Southern States. He is now in this city.
Last Sabbath he preached in the morn
ing in the First Congregational church,
and in the evening he spoke in Ames
Methodist church. After each service
collections were taken with gratifying
results. The friends of this most impor-
tant work among the sailors have a
broad field among the forty thousand
seamen who annually visit this port.
We understand an effort is on foot to
re- purchase the old bethel, and that for
this purpose the Legislature will be
asked for $4,000, to be given pro-
vided $40, 900 more are raised from other
sources. This would be q most appro-
pirate donation.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

Yesterday was 'sblue Monday" in
Carondelet street Among the brokers it
WAS called dead day Nothing was
done. The excitements OF the previous
week had measurably worn away. and
nothing had occurred to renew them.
Even the Legislature and its doings ex-
cited only a languid interest, inasmuch as
the close approach of the end of the ses-
sion renders it nearly certain that nothing
important can be consummated. Rumor
has not ceased to be busy in the circula-
ton of reports OF meditated projects
which might affect the stock market, and
among these new assault on the Slaugh-
terhouse Company was suggested. This
may have had the effect Of weakening the
stock, although no one seems to believe
that anything Of consequence can be
done. In the course of the day 100
shares were sold at 49,, and 100 at 49,,
Ii was also partly confidently stated in
some quarters that an agreement had been
made to pass some sort of lottery BILL
but the stock was not at all affected by
the report, and as the morning session
passed without any demonstration, it was
supposed that the attempt had been aban-
doned AS futile.
There was a good inquiry for Bank Of
New Orleans yesterday, and, i'll the eve
ming seventy-fve shares were sold at 49,.
The following We're the offers aud bids
at the board last night:

IN THE LEGISLATURE.

In the Senate, owing, perhaps, t. the
smaller number of members, and GER
tainly to the fact that only one member
speaks at d time lin which respect the
Senate differs from the House, where a
dozen speak AT oncel. considerable
amount of business was done.
J The principal business done II the
morning. session was the final passage Of
Senate bills 1ol aud lO2, the first being
to create an insurance department and
the other being an act relative t. l;t'a as
surance companies.
! The first OF these acts appears to be OF
such an indefinite character that it is diff
fcult to see what object is to be attained
by its Passage, except as it relates to bill
No. I02. 1t creates an insurance depart
ment, and superintendent Of the same,
| who must be citizen Of the State, ''ex-
perienced in the matters Of life insurance,
the said superintendent to be appointed
by the Governor. He must give bond
of fifty thousand dollars, conditioned for
the faithful performance of his duties, and
he shall receive an annual salary OF five
thousand dollars. IN section eight
the superintendent IS required to
file in his Office all papers required to be
filed therein, and to issue certificates of
authority to transact insurance bust
ness to all companies who have fully
complied with the laws of the State. The
act also fixes the fees to be paid by insur-
ance companies. which fees, We suppose,
are to be paid into the State treasury, az
the superintendent is to get a fixed salary.
There is nothing in the remainder of the
act that seems to point at the purpose ex-
pressed in the title.
Senate bill No 1902, which was also
finally passed, has some reference to the
preceding bill, as it prescribes and regu-
lates the mode in which joint stock COM
panies, mutual companies, and other
companies for the purposes Of life
assurance, may be formed. The most i'm
portant part of the act is that which pro-
vides for the stability of the companies,
and the consequent security Of stockhold-
ers and insurers.
An act was introduced to provide for
the compilation OF an official map Of the
State 1t may be doubted whether the
time has vet come to make this map: for,
should the Legislature continue to make
new parishes, it will become obsolete by
the time it is completed.
In the evening session, the Senate was
occupied to some extent on tie general
appropriation bill for the expenses Of the
State during the present year After read
ing about fifteen sections, the bill was
postponed, Oh a cali for executive session.
Later in the evening the city park bill
debate. Senator Ingraham opposed the
bill, on the ground that there was already
park established by law, and that, con-
tiding in the stability of the law creating
that park, many citizens had invested
largely in the neighborhood for resi-
dences. He argued that to establish
another park in another quarter of the
city would be unjust, as the park would
then share the fate of the lower portion
of the city, and be entirely neglected. At
late hour we left the Senator speaking.
In the House, although the morning
session lasted till near an hour beyond the
