THE STATE ADMINISTRATION.

Archimedes required a planet upon
which to plant his fulcrum before he
would agree to move the world. He pro-
portioned his means to his labor. He
was an examplar. The world can only
measure problems by the strength that is
required to solve them. An ordinary
crane will move a bale of cotton, but mon
strous derricks and complicated tackle
are wanted when granite blocks are to be
lifted into place. A regiment of troops
will suffice to thrash an Indian revolti into
subsection, but a million of men had to
be enlisted to disarm the great rebellion.
We measure force by force, estimating
that that must indeed be a strong posi-
ton which long time and vast outlay of
strength are required to capture. In
politics as in war, science or mechanics,
the same rule applies that the public
agent who is planted in popular favor can
only be shaken by varied and persevering

DETAILED TO BUILD A WIGWAM,r

We have often been compelled to com
plain of the manner in which Collector
Casey has managed and continues to man
age the Customhouse& in this city; for
every dollar that is extracted from the
public treasury by extravaganza and bad
management prolongs the full payment
OF the public debt, and prevents the Re-
publican party from speedily making
good its promises to the people. We
charged, upon a former occasion, that he
has a much larger force under pay in the
Customhouse than is necessary at this
season OF the year, and for a bad pur-
pose-for the purpose of sowing dissen-
sions in the Republican party. We have
more proof of this.
In passing through the Tenth Ward, a
day or two since, the ward in which Mr..
Casey resides, our attention was attracted
by the lively sounds of those well known
artisan tools-the hammer and the saw.
This led us to inspect the edifce that was
going up as if by magic. The men en-
gagged in this work looked familiar to us:

ON C%ARONDELET STREET.

Gold yesterday could be had at 12S at
the highest, New York quotations on the
white slips putting it at 12i. No more
than the usual sales were transacted, $780,
900 being offered by the Su~b-Treasurer at
a medium rate, 12I. There were no great
amounts of importations on which to pay
duties in gold, the recent arrivals being
all settled up, and the temporary demand
created by these having simmered down.
The sales of cotton on the boards still
include the lower ordinary grades, the
best qualities being lone and forSaken,
the disposition being to ''let them severely
alone" the intelligence from Liverpool
producing this state Of things.
Though domestic sight still rules at
three-eights premium, ten thousand dol
lars was sold at one-half; both parties salts
fed.
Amere cats-paw stirred the surface of the
universal dullness into which the usually
turbulent market seemed to have settled,
oAu Vile "ho AAI1ulI1Co " cldlS hdIldAlS,
which stimulated the holders somewhat,
and prices Immediately became fixed at
ffty-six, with no eager desire to sell at that,
showing anticipations of better things,
though from what source could not be
ascertained. The news spread rapidly,
and in the early hours of the afternoon
dealers. had their hands full to be sold on
private terms, but no sales were reported.
1t is supposed this bit of feeling was
caused by a design for speculation, though
the slightest movement will, in these dull
times begin a sensation.
The taller grades of flour are still in
demand was the latest news from Poydr S
street, and the market is spoken of as
barren of the high extras, and reports
studiously circulated about forthcoming
dead loads of the article failed to quiet
the raging demand. This too, it is sup
posed, is caused by the fell swoop of some
money men who have speculation in
those eyes"
The late protests of sugar men pro-
NOTED inquiries about sugar without sue
ceeding in communicating to the market
any portion of the movement that actuated
themselves. The street it can not be ex-
pected should always be in a fever. Dull
ness sometimes supervenes as a relief, in
which the greater part of dealers prepare
for future ''rifies."
City tens are still nominal, and the
handsome chirography of the finance adj
ministrator is seen in all its magnifcence
in the brokers' windows, with the names
of school teachers filled in.
There was nothing doing in Slaughter
house at twenty-six, those who hold not
being anxious to sell, and none being over
eager to buy. The city ordinance about
blue warrants, appropriating fifty thou
sand dollars on Tuesday evening, created
some talk, but no other sign of business.
and, in fact, the whole current Of affairs on
the street seems 10 have cooled down into
one of those Gains that precede a storm.
Levee is disinclined to change hands, or
to move one side or the other: but waits
for the next news to set it aioat
again.

RAILROAD TO DoNALDs0NVILLE.

We are indebted to Lieutenant J. Lewis
Spalding, New Orleans correspondent OF
the Washington Chronicle, for the follow
ing information:
G. w. II. Bayley. chief engineer New Or
leans, Mobile and Texas railroad; j. r.. Ken
drick, general superintendent; the general
ticket agent, road masters and other Off
Gals, left Chattanooga. Louisiana, for Don
jacksonville this morning at ten o'clock, for
the purpose of consultation, n to decide
upon a time when trains will be run regu-
larly between these two points. 1t is, how
ever, probable that about the first of Sep
TENDER will be fixed upon. Last Sunday it
was my privilege to ride over this road with
an excursion party given by Mr.. Bayley to
the planters of that section and a few other
invited guests. With but few exceptions,
this road is in excellent condition. | un-
derstand that Governor Warmoth and
friends intend a trip to Donaldsonyille over
this road next Sunday.

their faces were of that good easy cheer
that betokened them to be of the Custom
house Light Brigade. We could hardly
believe our eyes-though seeing is be-
ieving. Sense of sight o con-
WINGED us, however, that we had to be-
lieve a portion of the C~ustomhouse force
had actually been detailed to build q wig
wan in the Tenth Ward. There was at
least a good bakers dozen of these
stalwart men, ranged under Mr.. Casey's
banner, at work on the wigwam; and
among them Battle Payne, Sam Bassell,
George Dupasseau, Mark Johnson, and
the gentleman who is honored with the
title OF chief carpenter of the Custom
house. The wigwam may be required by
the small Customhouse clique that is en-
deavoring to rule or ruin" in this State;
but what authority has the collector for
putting his hand in the public treasury
and taking out money for purposes of this
kind? If it,would not be right to do this
In the interests of the Republican party,
it is certainly doubly wrong to do it as it
is being done. President GIANT and Sec
rotary Boutwell, certainly can not give
their sanction to so fragrant a violation of
the public interest, if by chance it should
come to their knowledge. Collector
Casey IS wrong in retaining men in the
public service for work of this kind, and
wrong for joining with the few men who
are working to divide the Republican
party of this State, We are very much
mistaken if he can make up a 'slate" in
Washington to work for such a purpose.
