THE B L PRINTING,

1t is a pleasure to discuss public griev-
ances with the Bee when it states its
proposition genteelly, and argues it rea-
sonably, as it does in response to our de-
Tense of the payments made to the REPUB-
LIcAN for printing done on the order of
the State authorities. We can go so far
in this connection as to accept a part of
the Bees suggestion hat some of the
printing which was done by US, and much
that was done by other parties, might have
been postponed or left undone, but we
can not consent that Governor Warmoth
ought in justice to be saddled with the
responsibility for this outlay. And espe-
cialIy is he guiltless in the matter of
establishing a multitude of irresponsible
country papers to be fed out of the State
treasury, for if the Bee kept as good an
account of the doings of the recent press
convention as was published in its own
columns, it would have discovered that
the principal opposition to the Governor
IN that body arose from the fact that he
had refused to sign the bills of these very
country papers. This fact, which we
now bring to the attention of the
Bee, ought to induce it to do
the fair thing by the immediate correc-
ton of its assertion that Governor War
moth is responsible for the useless print
ing that is done in the country. If the
Governor had more pets in the rural
printing offices he would have fewer
enemies, and this circumstance ought to
be used in his favor by the taxpayers in
stead of being used, as tits, against him.
And while we are on this subject, perhaps
It might be just as well to remind ou

numerous varieties of stocks which can
now he had on the street. The values
they have are always based or some
thing not by any means fictitious, and
any attempt to produce a greater than the
ruling price results in failure.
There has been a slight advance in new
city tens, which we believe sell for nine
ty-three or four, reaching these points
from ninety-one and a quarter.
The business in domestic sight seems
to be s~lackening, yet the premium is still
three-eighths.
The sales of real estate are very few,
the prices of which admit of no basis for
a quotation. Rents are still going on,
dwellings and stores of all descriptions
being put under lease daily, showing,
however, no material increase over the
rates IN vogue one year ago.

THE

The Times almost persuades us to be-
lieve that it actually wants another over
flow. But we will not, in this case, take
u somewhat eccentric neighbor at his
word. He does not want another over
flow. He does not even want the city to
incur any risks. And if Mr.. Cockrem
should so far forget his official duty as to
neglect the warning of the REPUBLICAN,
and another storm blow up the waters of
the lake so far into the city as Rampant
street, the angry roaring of the winds
would be accompanied by the shrill
shrieks of discomfort from the Times
Office. 1t may be vastly funny for a news
paper that boasts of being a guide to the
public and to officials to thus give advise
that it will not sustain in case of disaster;
but We respectfully suggest that we can
not see just where the laugh comes in.
Perhaps, it is intended to come in with
the waters, when the angry floods enter
the dwellings of the citizens and drive
them forth again homeless. Or perhaps the
Times wishes for another opportunity to
send a check for S25 to the relief fund
for the sufferers by the overflow. But
none of these reasons are sufficient. We
are willing to consent to anything that
is reasonable and not expensive, that will
afford u neighbor an opportunity to
show his wit or his charity, but must in
sist upon our motion that Administrator
Cockrem look well to his levees.
The sixth Of August is a memorable day
in the annals of the Louisiana coast. We
remember the fearful gale that made a
desert of Last Island, Frustrated square
miles of cane, drove the waters of the lake
into the city, and strewed our shores with
wrecks. The eleventh of August, 1860,
was also remarkable for a heavy gale,
which extended from Galveston to Pensa-
cola, and carried destruction for many
hundred miles. August is justly regarded
as the most dangerous month of the year
on the Southern coast, owing to the preva-
lence of southeastern gales, which roll up
the waters of the gulf and inundate the
coast landings. We do not wish to have
a Republican city administration charge
able with the criminal neglect that has so
often been laid at the doors of its prede-
cessors, and we can not consent that the
lives, health and property of our citizens
shall be exposed to danger that may be
averted, even though there is an important
political convention in prospective. Let
US suppose, for a moment, that the Re-
publican party, with Governor Warmoth
at its head, will gain some measure of
popularity from the exercise of a wise
provision. Is that any reason why our
friends should listen to the Mephis-
tophilean advice of our enemies, and do
nothing, that they may profit through our
neglect and at the public expense. Such
is not the craftsmanship we teach or ap-
prove; and we shall hold not only Mr..
Cockrem and the Council to a strict ac-
count for any failure fin their duty, but
those who give them bad advice, as well.

ON GARnNnRLEr STREET.

On all sides the answer of dull times
was given to all inquiries, and nothing
appeared to be all that was doing. The
current topic, however, was the late divi-
dend of the Citizens Bank, which de-
clared six per cent, thereby greatly en-
c~ouraging the stockholders, and the re-
cent three per cent dividend of the Cres-
cent City railway, declared since the
twenty-eighth of July last.
The offerings of bank stocks were little
or none, the owners of money being as
little inclined to buy as the others to sell.
Whatever business may come in the fall,
this appears to be the maximum of relax
alton.
Gold, remaining steady in New York
at twelve and one-eighth, the highest ad-
vance beyond these figures here being
three-eighths, fifty thousand dollars being
offered for sale, but not taken, at the New
York rate. Sales were unusually heavy
for this season, produced, however, by
the demand for imports.
There were no buyers of Levee stock at
eleven, and Notwithstanding some anxiety
to sell at this figure, holders were quite
ready to sell for ten and a quarter, one
hundred shares going over at this price.
As long as things continue in their pres
ent condition, not even s'quick sales will
bring profits.
The prices Of cotton, as anticipated,
have been stimulated and remain firm, on
account of the low estimate at which the
coming crop is put. The topics at the
Exchange all look forward to the future,
now only thirty days off, when business
shall open, and when more than the 'efrst
bale" will be reported among the arrivals.
Perhaps it is the anticipation of large
receipts, or a prevalent belief in lower
prices to come, but for some reason BUYERS
are shy of inquiring after this article, and
the market is apathetic. Receipts Of. late
have been full, and reports of more on
the way, in all probability made the bust
ness stand still.
Slaughterhouse is now very little men
toned, though it can be had for twenty
five. If there is any in market it is not
apparent.
Loans on good mortgage paper can be
had from nine to ten per cent on the
street, provided the proportion of money
loaned to the value of the property must
be taken into conscientious rate from
one to one and one-eighth per cent a
month being asked for money if, good as
the collaterals are, the proportion.loan
is more than one-half the total value.
Many negotiations, however, are heard of
at figures below nine per cent.
City certificates are still quotable, but
show no advance or change beyond the
well known price.
Dealers in gold are now in the throes of
speculation ~(mehtally), with a view of
ascertaining how low gold will fall in the
of the next season, since midsum-
mer has already passed, and the periodi-
cal yearly ascent ofxhis, the barometer
monetary affairs, has not taken place.
As to the question of resumption of
specie payments, that is a sealed letter
which no one has yet penetrated, or even
ventured to foreteIl the consequences OF.

secret cabal, 50 it defended its suppress
sion Of duty BY the preparation of .
scandalous pntruth, to the effect that a
State Convention could not be held in a
publicly announced room in the city of
New Orleans with safety to its ~free-delib-
Grafton. If this assertion is correct, then
Republicanism is a failure and recon
struction is a farce in Louisiana. Mar
shall Packard is worse than useless infhis
Office if the members of his own party
and the f~actionists Of his own creating
can not be protected in peacefully assem-
bling anywhere in New Orleans from
what the Times denounces as the sjani-
zaries of radicalism."
We have no particular preference as to
the precise hall. ia which the convention
shall meet, but we are concerned hat the
responsible delegates shall be duly in
formed as to where they are to assemble.
And as a matter Of pride, we think they
ought to meet in some place where the
reproach will not be cast upon them and
upon the party that they were afraid to
meet anywhere else. Democratic organs
insist that the delegates shall deliberate
in the Customhouse, where the federal
authorities can protect them. Is this not
a thin and transparent piece Of strategy,
intended to be used hereafter against the
Republican party itself, that being in pos
session of the State. and federal govern
ment it so demoralized its power that
even it's own members were afraid to meet
in the hall of the House of Representa-
tiyes! What an argument the Democracy
will make of this, and how quick the del
egates should be to resent it, we leave to
their own sense of propriety.

THE ONLY MAN WHO CAN SAVE THE
PARTYN

A dispatch to the REPUBLICAN, dated
Cincinnati, August 4, informs us that dis
patches were published in the morning
papers there, which ssthough evidently
biased against Governor Warmoth, pro-
duced the impression in political circles
that he is the only man who can save
Louisiana to the Republican party in
1872" We shall look with some interest
for the Cincinnati spapers of the fourth
instant. But it will not require a sight of
these biased dispatches to produce a SINH
lar impression. We regard it as a fore
gone conclusion, that unless Governor
Warmoth's hands are held up by the
united Republican party of this State, the
Democrats will carry the election in 1872.
Governor Warmoth is the only man who
can rally the party, and any attempt on
be part of the federal officers to weaken
his influence with the party is a blow at
Republican interests. And it appears
that the Republicans of Ohio see this
point as clearly as we do.

The Louisville Ledger, with some show
of enterprise in its handsome typographi-
cal face, pretends to have discovered that
the Ku-Klux law was passed by the radi-
Gals for a partisan purpose. 1t occurs to
us that this is not a recent discovery, but
as the funeral~is not ours, if no Demo-
cratic paper raises a dispute as to the
priority of assertion in this respect, we
shall not. We shall do something more,
however-we shall at nce proceed to de-
molish the assertion. The. Ku-Klux bill
was passed by the Republicans to dis
cover and suppress disorder in the South,
and in the progress of its enforcement its
officers have not only found the lawless
desperadoes they were instructed to ferret
out, but they have caught some of them,
and they have so frightened others that
even in Kentucky members of the Ku-
Klux are deserving the band and owning
up to their own and their associates ras-
c~alities. This was the origin and this is
the end of the law.
