DELINQUENCY AND NEGLECT.

1t is certainly an extraordinary phe-
nomenon that in city like New Orleans
one of the principal thoroughfares should
be suffered to remain, mouth after
month, from one years end to another, IN
a state of utter unhtness for use. Why
is ST. Charles avenue suffered to remain
in its present condition, unless there IS
some occult reason connected with the
s.iob," of which the public are to know
nothing? What is the mystery? And
why is the Southern Paving Company
suffered to trife with the public interests
in refusing to complete contract be-
cause it is not allowed to defraud
the city by substituting decaying mate
rial for the proper kind, which the con-
tract called on it to furnish? And,
strangest of all, the city authorities make
no movement whatever in the affair, but
suffer the Paving Company to commit the
wrong with impunity. Would any other
city administration in the whole country
act in matter like this as the authorities
of New Orleans act?
There is but one supposltion In the
slightest degree favorable to the paving
company, and that is that they have
abandoned the work in toto. 1t looks
like it. If it turn out to be so, why does
not the city administration accept the
abandonment, and proceed to make st.
Charles avenue passable for the unfor-
tunate residents thereon? Or if the paw
ing company still hold on to its
nefarious bargain, why does not the city,
through its law officers, take means to
enforce the forfeiture incurred by fragrant
neglect and delay?
The circumstances of the contract made
by the Southern Paving Company with
the city of New Orleans to pave st.
Charles avenue, are very simple. For
satisfactory consideration, expressed in
the contract, the company engaged to lay
Nicolson pavement on the avenue from
Tiyoli Circle to Toledano street, binding
itself to do the work within a GER
tain time. 1t further bound it
self to use the best class of material,
and this was to be subject to the inspec-
ton and approval of the City Surveyor
and other officials connected with the De-
partment of Streets and Landings Under
these conditions the work was commenced,
and small part completed. But on ex-
animation by the city officials, the blocks
brought on the ground for the pur-
pose of paving were found to be
entirely unsuited and nothing like what
the contract called for; so they were re-
jected. Since then the paving company
has ceased to trouble itself about st.
Charles avenue. The time fixed for the
completing of the contract has long
passed, and yet the avenue remains an
unsightly nuisance, hateful to all except
the hogs who wallow in its mud.
There is but one proper course for the
city to take: have the contract with the
Southern Paving Company set aside, and
put the work Under the contract of the
Administrator of Improvements. Were
this done, in no long time ST. Charles
avenue would be credit to the city in
stead of disgrace

A newly-fedged Philadelphia doctor re-
Gently settled in Havana Illinois, and the
first case he had was boy, who, while shell
ling popcorn, got kernel in his windpipe.
The doctor examined the case carefully,
looked at the patients tongue. and then told
the father of the boy to build up a hot fire.
When that was done, the doctor told them
10 take the boy and hold him over the fire
until the kernel got hot enough to pop
out" The old man went up stairs and got
his shotgun, but while he was loading II the
doctor escaped.

ter feeling having prevailed, cotton to the
amount of twenty-one hupdred bales was
sold, the inquiries with which the market
opened being spurred by the news OF an
advanced rate at Liverpool.
In regard to the demand which a few
ago had slackened down to nothing, be-
gan to quicken, and the receipts were
also on the increase. And as the rest OF
the commodities of trade in our port
usually follow the example of cotton, 1t
will be found that activity is beginning
to be felt in all quarters.
The sensation about Levee stock is I'M
precedented. A few days ago and no
one mentioned it. The whole scheme
looked like dead body. A wary broker
ON the street attributed the recent de-
mand to short sales made some time ago,
when the seller is obliged to fill the bill
and make his word good, at whatever
cost. Be this as it may, the stock has
risen from ten and half to twelve and a
half, and even thirteen, and so 1t went
through the street, winding round and
round like a water spout, and taking
everything else with it in its course.
Still, buyers seemed to feel their way;
small lots only changed hands, and not
withstanding sanguine hopes, we have
seen several ''puts" for future day, say
at twelve in September, go begging for a
taker, fifty dollars up.
Why should it be worth from eleven to
thirteen when three days ago it only ran
between nine and ten? There are many
who throw themselves headlong in the
stream, without stopping to inquire where
it comes from, which way it runs, or
where it goes, and this kind contained
many who bought. The only thing We
heard "a loud whisper) was that con-
vention of capitalists, among whom are
several of our Louisiana railroad owners
and managers, have met in Philadelphia
to consult as to the best plan of uniting
the railroad with the levee and planting
Orleans and jackson will defend their
road from New Orleans to Baton Rouge
by levee; the Mobile and Texas will
construct an embankment from this city
to the mouth of Red river, and other
roads and lines will build levees pro rata
with their interest in the common stock.
To conclude upon an ultimatum from
these outlines is the object of this con-
vention, and ''a party by the name OF
Scott" known as railroad grandee OF
the w est, is spoken of as sort of king
bee of this hive of moneyed men, which
has resolved to buy the franchises of the
Louisiana Levee Company, and on the
principle of ''put yourself in his place, .
go ahead with the enterprise. 1t is even
said that the preamble of this treaty is
already drawn up, and ere many days
the design that railways shall build the
levees will be carried out

the Washington treaty, the quality of our
adherence to the privateering doctrine will
be fully put to the test. In war between
Venezuela and Spain, involving the free

to the American side of the fight.

A Democratic paper says that the Re-
publicans provoked the recent riot in
New York, in order to promote a religious
excitement. As the riot was carried on
entirely by Democrats, this suggestion
compliments them with being too stupid
to keep out of the traps set by the Repub-
licans. This is bad for the Democrats,
that they are so ignorant and so easily
used by their enemies
