We copy the following from the Planters
Banner, q weekly journal, edited by Daniel
bennett: ssss5g. - 80
When in New Orleans last winter, pen-
tleman connected with the Lake Charles
| sulphur Mining Company, and whom We
believe to be an honest business man, and
truthful, stated toa gentleman from Ohio
and writer, that the Sulphur Mining Com
pany had offered Warmoth a handsome sum
to sign their bill-which he said was an
honest bill and called for nothing unreasor-
able-but that Warmoth demanded muck
higher price, and wanted it all.' as he
stated it.
We remarked that we were in miserable
condition when we can openly discuss the
matter OF purchasing the Governors sigma
ture as piece of merchandise, and he re-
pied, Yes, but that was the only way to
get bill through the Legislature, and as the
Governor would not sign bill without pay,
they were compelled to learn his price,"
we can give the gentlemau's name if the
Governor wants it, though we do not care to
use his name without Ais consent. We think
he stands fair with business men in New
Orleans
No such corporation as the Lake Charles
Sulphur Company exists. The Calcas;eu
Sulphur and Mining Company is an incor-
poration comprised of stockholders who
have never asked State aid, and do not de-
sire 1t. The company has abundant re-
sources, and will conduct its own business
with its own means.
The Louisiana Petroleum Company had
lease Of the lands now in possession of the
Calcasieu Sulphur and Mining Company,
which lease the courts declared was for
feited. That company then changed its
name to the Louisiana Petroleum and Sui
phur Company. and procured the passage
Of bill through both houses of the Gen
eral Assembly, providing for the issue of
State bonds to the amount of three hun
dred thousand dollars to enable it to de-
velep sulphur and petroleum mines.
They had nothing but the name of the
company to operate on, having been dis
possessed Of the bonds they had once leased.
The presumed object was to secure the three
hundred thousand dollars in bonds, and
then endeavor to effect a compromise with
the Calcasiev Sulphur and Mining Company
1t was known that no inducement could
persuade Governor Warmoth to sign the
bill, and he vetoed it on the commencement
of the last session of the General Assembly.
II the Planters Banner wants the facts.
we can give them briefly in the words of
prominent Democratic politician. who said
of Governor Warmoth and this three hun
dred thousand dollar bond bill: "He
won't sign the bill anyhow have offered
him money, and he will not sign it for any
consideration whatever"
The friends of the bill endeavored to pro-
cure its passage over the Governors veto,
but they were defeated in this scheme and
the obnoxious measure did not become a
law

Fete Champetre.

A grand fete champetre will be given at
the Carrollton Gardens, for the benefit of
the Odd Fellows Rest, commencing Mon
day, the twenty-third instant, and continu-
ing six days. Admission for gentlemen, one
dollar; ladies free. From our knowledge
of the parties interested in getting up this
entertainment, we have no hesitation in
declaring belief that it will be one of the
most pleasant reunions of the season. The
object is one that commends itself to the
favorable consideration of our people, and
we presume they will lend to it their pres
ence, and their material aid.

THE CITY HALl..
sale Of Market never,,e

Sale Of Market neyepses,
| Yesterday, at noon, about fifty persons Of
.1as4ous nationalities- Gascons, Sicilians,
Lusitanians, Alsatians, Iberians and burly
Saxons, assembled in the Mayors parlor,
for the purpose of putting in their bids for
the monthly revenues of the fourteen mar
kets scattered through the city.
The biding was very lively, each aspirant
for the privilege Of handling extra plunder
arising from the sharpened appetites Of a
regular population of over two hundred
thousand people, seeming to be imbued
with the idea that the present bracing
weather would cause an extra consumption
of food, and stimulate the keepers of booths,
stalls and coffee stands to pay higher prices
for the privilege of vending creature COM
forts to the hungry.
Mayor Flanders opened the proceedings
with the ease and volubility of an old auc-
tioneer. Not being the fortunate possessor
of regular auctioneec's hammer, he used
stick instead, having the color and weight
of one of those traditional walking canes,
supposed to have been turned out of heart
Of oak. taken from the hull of the old frigate
Constitution.
And ever and anon, while the bids went
higher and higher, as the Gascons waxed
warm and vOluble in the excitement of com.
petion, the Mayors "old Constitution" stick
would describe parabolic circles in the air,
and come down on the table with a thwack
like the stroke of ThoSO's Observation-Disclosures
that with the third and last call " the pri-
vilege was ''gone."
The following is a list of the markets, the
names of the successful bidders, and the
amOunts realized:

In the matter of extending square block
pavements along the streets leading to the
river, up to the wharves, the Administrators
are in favor of the blocks-all except the
Mayor, who is the stumbling block!
Suspension Of Work on the Government
Wharves.
A suit is pending in the United States court,
involving the right to the possession of a
wharf or landing place at the foot of Calliope
street. Ii is claimed by both the city and
the United States. In the meantime, the
City Surveyor has been at work improving
the spot with view of adapting it to the
uses designed for it By the city Yesterday,
however, Colonel Belger, the quartermaster
in charge, called upon Administrator Cock
rem and represented to him the propriety of
discontinuing the work until the question
Of ownership could be judicially deter
mined. Mr.. Cockrem promptly issued an
order to the surveyor to stop work. We
are glad to be able 20 record this instance
of official aminity. as both gentlemen, while
fully determined. as in duty bound, to pro-
tect the interest of their respective govern
ments, were ready TO conduct the contro-
versy in spirit of fairness and courtesy.
The Tidal Wave a Humbug.
From the measurements taken daily and
reported at the the city surveyors office,
under the supervision Of William H. Bell,
the water levels of Lake Pontchartrain and
the river marked yesterday as follows
Lake water, fourteen inches below the
storm level of June 1871; river, twelve feet
six inches below the high water of 1871.
From the above showing it will be seen that
the tidal wave is not up to time. and is an
emphatic humbug. Old Neptune may now
glide smoothly in his cookie shell, without
fear Of bubble on the yesty waves.
Sinking Of the Levee.
Surveyor Bell has in his Office large and
beautifully executed profile of the bed of the
mississippi river drawn from soundings
made from opposite jackson Square to AL
giers, on the other side. The profile shows
that IN the centre Of the stream there is
sand bar, forming high ridge. From this
it is evident that the corrent has been
turned in a direction towards the city, !
throwing the full force of the current against |
the shore below ST. Ann street, undermining
the bank, and causing the slide opposite the
French market and the Red Stores. This |
break has been stopped.
by still further change the bar may
have formed further down, and caused the |
cave at Clouet street.
Surveyor Bell has been for some time en-
gagged in taking soundings opposite this 10
,ality, and will doubtless find to what point
The current is setting, and devise means
or putting stop to the cave.
