THE SIXTH DISTRICT.

This suburban portion of our city seems
to offer an encouraging contrast to the
stagnation observable in the other and
older districts. The new sidewalk on St.
Charles avenue, extending from Louisiana
avenue to State street, distance of nearly
two miles, is in itself an improvement
calculated not only to contribute to the
convenience and enjoyment of the resi-
dents on that street, but also to enhance
greatly the value of property thereon.
This sidewalk, about fifteen feet wide, is
OF the concrete pavement found so SER
viceable in the Northern cities, where it
has been tried, and although it is not by
any means as well laid as it might be, yet
it furnishes pleasant promenade, especi-
ally since the laying of the new and
spacious crossings, for which thanks are
due to the energy of the courteous Ad-
ministrator of Improvements, Mr.. Cock
rem. These crossings have been laid
under the immediate superintend-
ence of Mr.. W. H. Bell, CITY
Surveyor, who is justly reputed
as one of the most capable and energetic
officers connected with the city govern
ment. The lighting of streets with gas is
another great improvement, and one which
has had, perhaps, as much share as any
of the others named in attracting atten-
ton to this portion Of the city as desirable
for residences. Certain it is that several
new and elegant houses are now building
on st. Charles avenue, in localities which
a few years ago seemed hopelessly un-
To all these advantages there is, how
ever, one drawback, and that so serious
one as to elicit constant and earnest
complaint. We allude to the abominable
condition of the old Nicolson pavement,
and the snail-like pace with which the
new one crawls along. So execrable is
the former that travel on it has almost
ceased, except where it is unavoidable.
most persons preferring to 90 consider
able out of the way rather than risk the
Of jolting over its broken sur
ACE. We trust our city fathers will soon
axe steps for the Improvement of St. |
Charles avenue, thus securing the COM |
not only Of the residents Of |
Ehs Sixth District but Of all those living |
n other sections Of the city, who wish 70 |
ase it either for business or pleasure.

ON CAR0NDELEr STREET.

Gold again shows symptoms of manipula
ton, the fluctuations yesterday being I'M
common within the past ten days. Foreign
exchange, usually in sympathy with gold
became likewise the prey Of oscillations and
| irregular prices, while domestic exchange
usually very dry, looked up, and many
sales we're over or under three-eighths
discount.
There is no new position assumed by city
certificates. nor can a grain of moro favora.
bic news be reached. During the progress
of sales, the bidder commences at 80, and
goes up to 81; the seller begins at IS. and
let's down to 81, when little more chatter
ing ends in the bargain driven at s3h, the
average rate. Nearly all such transactions
are made over the counter, and it is believed
the rate is now well ascertained. We heard
of higher prices being paid, sale of $1,000
having been made for $S47 so, cash. The
feeling in all securities is decidedly better.
A pronounced advance has taken place in
warrants recently, not yet lost in the ebb
and flow of street transactions. Sales of
small" are heard of at 60, So and Sc, and
sales of 'large" are spoken of at IS and
So. The traces of an operator are said
to be discovered by those within
the inner circle, the ominous silence
when the warrants are called in
the board showing, according to the pre-
vailing theory, manipulation to be fact,
and not fancy. But as yet this operator
lies perda, whoever he is. Warrants are
cast upon the street like waits on lee
shore, and do not at any time constitute
steady medium of buying or selling. 1t is
quietly, not loudly, known who will pur-
chase. and holders usually keep in the
shade until the burden is cast off and money
pocketed. 1t is, hence, all the more diff
cult to uncover the central operator and
wire-puller, if any such exists. The impress
sion is gradually assuming the force of self
evidence that warrants are the best invest
ments. The State can not 60 back on them.
By the fundamental law they are held
secure, while there is not among the stock
an absolute certainty that the
stock of each will not become smoke, and
purchasers money evapOrate. A whisper
is also mysteriously heard that these war
rants will in January be made receivable
for taxes in one of the new laws for tax
now in embryo, and having given
all that is said on the subject, it is now
quietly dismissed, leaving any one to take
up whatsoever fancy he sees fit.
Money is regarded as easy and growing
in supply greater than the demand.
Stocks were brisk yesterday, though
street operations, as such, are rather du-
bions. Sales were made yesterday of Levee
1t So IS and 90 61s, and in the afternoon
1t 90 so and 50 IS, closing at So so. Rumors
we're wild. 1t was asserted the ''contror'

THE FIRE CONTRACT.

Not 70 be entirely ont Of fashion the
RIru8IlcAx can afford to adopt the
opinion ''going round" that the contract
with the Firemen's Charitable Association
ought to be renewed. This seems to be
the thing just now. We do not propose
TO worry ourselves or our readers into a
fever on the subject; nor do We propose
TO agree with the clamor that has sudden
" manifested itself on the subject. The
idea Of . paid fire department. is not pre-
posterous, a. some seem to think, because
the plan Of paying the hremen has been
adopted in most Of the large cities both
Of Europe and the United States, and
has been found to work better than the
volunteer system. This fact, in our
opinion, disposes of the sensational state
ment that it is impossible to adopt any
other plan of extinguishing fires than the
one We have. f-'.'-
The propriety Of renewing the contract
is defensible on the ground that the city
is not now in . condition to inaugurate
paid fire department, because she is not
in possession of the necessary apparatus,
and before she could obtain it, and organ
izs her fire brigade and prepare them for
WORK, We might have conAagration that
would destroy more property than the
entire sum demanded by the Firemen's
Charitable Association. The project Of
superseding the present department can
not be carried into effect suddenly, if the
aremen are disposed to keep their engines
and the enginehouses which they occupy,
and therefore it is almost necessary to re-
new temporarily the contract which has
existed for the last five years, or at least
to go on paying the salary that the city
government has heretofore paid. In the
meanwhile negotiations might be set on
foot looking to the settlement of the Diff
Guilty to the satisfaction of all parties. If
it can be demonstrated to the fremen that
it would be better for the city to pay her
fremen as she pays her police, or if a new
system can be inaugurated that will pro-
duce better results, at less expense to the
people and without calling upon so many
men as are now enlisted in the department,
The firemen certainly will not resist the in |
reduction Of this improvement. The ne
cessity of fire department is so impera-
i've that the city can not get along with
but one, and this necessity secures to the |
iremen just and proper acknowledge
nent from the public treasury. But they |
admit this fact, that the commu. |
aity has no moral right to demand that
hey shall continue to gire their services
% the public. We believe in paying men
or their labor, whether this labor is done
It fire or on the levee; and we believe
hat just as good work can be obtained
rom paid 6remen as from volunteers.
md what is more. we do not believe that
he present system can be kept up, be-
ause it is not business transaction for
men to g. on for years to perform import
mt labor without being paid in some way
or the same.
Perhaps renewal of the contract for
ne year would be wise, as during that
ime the difficulties that present them
elves IS against paid department might
o overcome to the satisfaction of both
be 6remen and the public.
