THEIRS AND CREVY.

The election Of these two eminent cltl-
zens of France to the National Assembly
that has been convened to express the
feelings and wishes Of the people on the
subject of peace and the form OF govern
ment France is to assume, must he taken
as a sign portending much good-as a
sign that reason, iudgmen. and modera-
ton have swayed the people in
their choice of delegates, and that
these qualities are to predominant IN the
National Assembly, instead of those fierce
passions and bitter animosities that have
SO frequently marked the characters OF
representative men in France. The fact,
too, that Messrs. Theirs and Grevy have
been chosen by the National Assembly to
take leading parts in the settlement OF
the great questions that have been submit
ted to the nations representatives, must
be taken as further proof that wisdom
| and common sense are likely to mark the
conduct of those to whom the destiny OF
France is at present committed. Timers
and Grevy are both men Of that ripe a1e
and experience in governmental affairs m
France that enables them 70 comprehend at
once her best interests, and the form OF
government best adapted 10 the wishes
Of the great body of French people; and
both have record that establishes a
purity Of character and devotion to coun-
try that are sure to prevail over consid-
erations of personal nature. They
equally detest the arts Of the demagogue,
and have risen to the condition of en-
lightened statesmen, men vino are not
ant to swerve from principle. These
qualities are just what are required at this
time to give proper shape and direction
to public affairs in a country that has got
to be reconstructed. Theirs long since
wrote what has been pronounced the best
history extant of the French Revolution
which may be said to have had its com
mencement in the opening OF the States
General in May, 1889. It has been salt
that ''Thiers, the historian, is pertec
fac-simile of Theirs, the statesman-a1
adroit, keen, clear-headed man OF thu
world, with no strong passions o.
prejudiceS to warp or lead astray his juds
ment." Having written so much abou
France and her public men during mos

MOVEMENT.

The printers in Washington City have
gone back on their previous action. At a
regular meeting Of the Typographical
Union, held on Sunday last, Keith Smith,
a colored man, was admitted as member
by 229 to 6o. Two other colored printers
are applicants for admission, young
Douglas, and Lavalotte, and since the
precedent has been set in Smiths case, it
is not probable that any opposition will
be made to the admission Of these two.
As these printers will be entitled to
"cards,' when they leave Washington,
that will entitle them to work in any Office
that affiliates with the Union at Washing
ton City, probably it would be profitable
for the New Orleans Union to be discus
sing what reception it will give to these
typos, provided they tramp down in this
direction. And since there are colored
men and white men working together in
almost every blacksmith and machine

4 CHANCE IN TOWN LOTS.

Captain c. W. Howell, of the engineer
corps, is our latest enemy, ard our great
est. It has not been unusual, within the
past few years, to hear the penalve and
unsuccessful operators on our Sunnels,
sidewalks and boulevards declare that
New Orleans was On her last legs, gone
up. given over, past her prime, ruined,
taxed to death, killed by bad government,
too slow. stacnant, and such like funeral
expressions, but It was reserved TO Cap
tain Howell, engineer, to lay Us ont com
pleteIy by removing the business OF the
city, and thus the city Itself, to some
point seventy-fve miles lower Gown the
Mississippi river. All that Captain Howell
wants is a canal from the Mississippi to
the gulf built by the general government,
aud then this Venice, which IS 70 super
sede the Crescent City, is 10 arise from
out the sea weed and salt marshes below
Fort St. Phillip. It is due to Captain
Howell. engineer, to say that be engaged
in this work with much reluctance, and
that he persevered i'll it with much hos
tilitv, but that finally his prejudice gave
way and his prophetic sonl accepted tie
vision Of a future city which us jUdS-
ment had told him could never succeed.
And his only feeling now is one'of sadness
that in asking the government to bmld
the new canal from the Mississippi to the
gulf, be is asking the nation to engage IN
the enterprise Of building up Venice
that shall destroy the Crescent City. Is
this mischief to be wrought without
our knowledge ? Are we really IN the
| predicament that Tomorrow sun may
disclose to US the consent Of Congress to
build the canal and that we are only the
venerated jewellers at {. village landing
If SO, it is time to be on the alert. The
REPUBLICAN must be the organ Of Venice II
Venice there is to be. In the meantime,
however, the public may rest assured that
the proceedings Of the government OF
New Orleans will appear in these columns
until Captain Howells city is living
reality.

A LITTLE MATTER.

Tn the last letter written by ARGUS,
published on Monday, the writer con-
cluded by informing the public that he
would publish another communication
probably on Thursday, which might con-
tain matters of serious moment 10 GER
tain parties, but which could be sup
pressed if five hundred dollars were Tor
warded to close the eyes Of the faithful
Waterman. As Thursday and Friday
have come and gone, and, as no argus
has appeared, is it to be inferred that the
FIVE hundred dollars were forwarded?
And if such is the presumption, what
must our presumption be as to the honesty
of the writer

ON CARONDELET STREET.

If the doings of the Board OF Brokers
are any indication Of the condition OF
business, affairs in Carondelet street must
be improving. 1t is true that there was
only one sale last night-a small lot OF
gold at Ill but the bidding was COM
paratively spirited, and the attendance
was better than it has been for some time.
Almost all securities, too, have an up
ward look, which shows that there is an
increasing disposition to invest money IN
the manner most desired by brokers. 1t
would not be surprising if the end Of the
season were to be signahzed by an ami
nation to which it has been a stranger
since last year.
Within the last few days there has been
considerable inquiry for the stock OF the
Mexican Gulf Canal. We do not hear OF
any sales, so that the price cannot be ac-
curately stated. Some time ago II sold at
$3.50. but afterward fell Of. The recent
drainage bill passed by the Legislature
ought to have the effect Of Strengthening
the stock, even apart from TIE prospects
of the original work.
Slaughterhouse stock has decidedly an
improving appearance, and sold yester-
day as high as 16. IL the board ii was
bid for at lti, but w,.s not offered lower
than II. It would seem from this that
the friends of the institution have hopes,
more or less well founded, OF TescuiEg 1t
from the destruction threatened by the
recent action Of the Legislature.
Lottery stock remains firm. Fifty
shares changed hands yesterday al 81.
The following We're the offers and bids
-. tho hoard last night:

DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO NEW OR
LEANS.

As an evidence of the distressing friend
ship under which the New York World
seeks to suffocate the South, it may be
mentioned that the organ OF the Iammany
Democracy declares that the granting OF a
subsidy to a steamship line between New
Orleans and Mexico is downright robbery,
because the mails are small the trade be-
tween the two ports insignificant, and
the sailing vessels that are now engaged
in this business will be injured. Never
word has the World urged in oppo-
sition or censure Of the liberal subsidies
which were granted years ago by
a Democratic Congress to tie Collins line
when the Cunarders We're willing to do
the work of transporting the American
mails to Europe nor IS it now opposing
the subsidies which are given to lines
steaming ont OF New York and San Fran
cisco with the mails to China. the Sand
wich Islands, Australia and Europe. Bat
the moment Congress offers TO assist the
STRUGGLING trade of New Orleans with such
assistance as has been given to hundreds
of other worthy enterprises, the World
uses all its power 20 suppress our tavors,
and fortites its arguments by statements
that are peculiarly selfish and Of local
bias
If the trade with Mexico is insigniti-
cant. is that not an evidence of our in
capacity in some respect? Why should
! a people that numbers eight millions,
| possessed Of great wealth, slight the
United States 70 trade with Europe, if it
was not that Europe had beaten us III
some particular? And if English steam
ers can ply in Mexican waters, why may
| not American steamers DO the same ?
Are the shipowners who demonstrated
with Congress against this subsidy IN
favor Of employing their own sailing YES
sells in the business in preference to
letting steamship live into the trade: Is
the enmitv Of the World affected by q
pa,tiulity for wooden vessels rather than
iron steamers? And IS It not strange that
notwithstanding ALI the relations which
have transpired between tie United
States and Mexico orr mails 70 that coun-
try are insignificant =: Where IS the
boosted energy and enterprise Of the
American people, that they have lett tins
ne;chbor Of ours to be wooed and won by
Eur peans? The Word is too fast TO IN
irre as in this matter TO be our friend
We need the steamship line in order tt
build up trade and to foster communi
cations between two friendly peoples
and Congress intends to give i: to Us.

END OF TEE. SESSION.

Curiosity is active to be informed when
the Legislature viii adjourn. The consti-
tuition limits the session to sixty days, and
the section is sufficiently precise to settle
all doubts upon the subject. Article
thirty-two Of the constitution declares
that mo session Of the Legislature shall
extend to period beyond sixty days, to
date from it's commencement Under
this article, the session will terminate at
twelve o'clock on the night Of next Thurs
day. After that date and hour no law
that may be passed viii be OF any force

important epoch in her history, and Of a
time when the greatest difference OF opln-
ion existed as to the form OF government
best suited to the wants Of her people, no
man is better calculated than he to under
stand the wants of both at thus
time. He was once Prime Minister and
is now likely to become President OF the
provisional Republic Of France that will
be created to make peace with Prussia.
He was opposed to the war with Prussia
at the commencement, counseled against
it, and warned his countrymen OF the sad
consequences that must follow what he
then regarded as fatal step. This course
made him unpopular at the time, but its
soundness has since been recognized by
the people, and NJ. Theirs is now one OF
the most popular men in France.
NJ. Grevy has been elected President OF
the National Assembly, now in session IN
France, and may be termed moderate
republican. He was Vice President OF
the French Assembly in 1913, and was
then regarded as democrat, and distln'
guished himself as an able and consistent
member of the liberal party at that tllne'
though not tainted with any OF those ultra
views that disgraced some of his democratic
brethren and led them into soclaIlsuc
ideas. He represents the department OF
Jura in the National Assembly, and Is
said to be the most popular man in his
department. He is somewhat younger
than Theirs, but has attained an age
having been born in l8l3-when mer
should be blessed with wisdom and fixed
in principle. It is most fortunate thai
the people Of France have selected Two
such able men to lead her back TO peace
and prOSperitv.
