ON CARONDELET STREET.

And now comes the close Of the week and
the year, with its accounts to be settled, it's
debts to be paid, its new leaf to be turned
over. If the old adage that :" a man in debt
at the beginning will find himself in debt
throughout the year. be true, few men on
CarOndelet street can be calculated upon as
clear. The prevailing dullness has driven
all but the brokers absolute off from the
corners and into some other business. The
broker absolute is one who can get along
without help; who lives while others die,
and who is as firm in dull as in any other
times. The negotiation Of city certificates
did afford temporary relief, but the gains
are very small at the best. Stocks are Of
tered on all sides. but no bidders come up.
1t is ruinous to put up any obligations Of
this kind unless the holders are not particu-
lar about loss Of twenty-five per cent.
The sole topic on the street yesterday was
the discussion of the sale of Slaughterhouse
at sil so at auction. 1t was reported the
stock was not delivered At any rate,
Sl7 50 was offered on the street. The COM
pany is in just as prosperous a state, and is.
in fact, in a better condition than for some
time. Its legal bonds will soon slip off, and
the company go straight ahead. Yet the
scarcity of money las produced the same
downfall III this as liz ether stocks. Where
no disposition TO buy prevails every obliga-
ton must settle.
The difficulty in money has also affected
the passing of foreign exchange by SYM
pathy, and this last trouble still continues
to hinder the movement in cotton, mas
much as bargains can not be consummated.
The banks declaring their dividends yes
terday produced a comfortable feeling in
those who held the stocks. As it had been
long anticipated, there was not more than
the ordinary momentum on the spreading Of
the news, bank stocks being among the
things in which the run Of brokers are not
much interested.
Cotton has been somewhat affected at
last by the negotiations Of exchange, but
to slight extent 1t is busine IS now
upon which! tie whole community relies to
rescue us from our emharlassments.

Strangers visiting the city are usually taken
through it in order that they may witnes:
the evidences Of wealth ard taste which
those residences and the grounds surround
ing them afford An unriea SAINT, almost a
dangerous incident occurred recently on
such an occasion. A gentleman just arrived
from St. Louis, who had never visited New
Orleans before, was invited by friend tc
drive out to Carrolltcn. They had light
buggy and fast horse. the day was lovely
and their spirits high. Riding along ST
Charles street, talking and laughing and
admiring the houses on each side, they did
not take much notice Of the road until they
reached that remarkable portion of good
driving, the three squares OF new Nicolson
pavement. Here tie proud citizen
of our proud city indiscreetly lei

was delightful for a second; but. alas, three
squares pass quickly under the feet OF a
fast horse, and soon our gay friends found
themselves humping along over ruts and
holes, in a manner anything but pleasant.

well-churned guest.
1T is our only one in this direction,
pleaded the citizen Of New Orleans, in a
deprecatory tone. Il. used to be very
fine road once, but it certainly needs re-
pairing now"
"Ah," said the visitor how ! wish l had
visited New Orleans when this old road
was new. But do they never repair their
roads in your city! Have the city officials
no efficiency, that they leave your chief
streets in such wretched condition 2
"Well. to tell the truth, the Admlnistra-
tor of Public Improvements, whose duty it
is to attend to this matter, is ready to do
his part, but ne can not act without the
co-operation of the other members of the
city government. And az there is to be al

be reelected, they are trying TO get up a
reputation for economy

visitor, Jerking out his words as the light

Military Power.

The power of the sword is p,ore sensibly
felt in an extensive monarchy than in a
small community. 1t has been calculated
by the ablest politicians that no state, with
out being soon exhausted, can maintain
above the hundredth part Of its members in
arms and idleness. But, although this rela-
tive proportion may be uniform, tie intu
ence of the army over the rest of society
will vary according 10 the degree of its posi-
tive strength. The advantages of military
science and discipline cannot be exerted
unless a proper number of soldiers are
united in one body and actuated by one
soul. With handful of men. such a union
would be ineifcctual: with an unwieldy host
it would be ;mpracticable; and the powers
of the machine would alike he destroyed by
the extreme nlinuteness or the excessive
weight of its springs. To illustrate this OBJ
servation we need only reflect: there is no
superiority of natural strength, artificial
weapons or acquired skill could enable one
man to keep in constant subsection one hun
bred of his fellow creatures: the tyrant of a
single town or a small district would soon
discover that hundred armed followe,
were a weak defense against ten thousand
peasants or citizens: but a hundred thou
sand well disciplined soldiers will command,
with despotic sway, ten millions of subjects:
and a body Of ten or fifteen thousand guards

populace that ever crowded the streets of an
immense capital.-GiJton's Decline 0ao

The Picaytae reports the following case,
involving specie obligations:
Suit was recently brought in the parish
court of Bienville on note for $500, to be
paid some time after date. in specie or its
equivalent in currency. The court recog-
nlzed the validity OF the contract, and
gave judgment for plaintiff. 1t was held
that the obligation sued on being for SO
many dollars in specie or its equivalent in
currency, not for specie alone. was not in

act was measure OF public policy, not a
law to confer privileges upon debtors, and

there was the usual commotion and hurry

Two lads, Daniel Gallagher and Henry
Hamel, having passed a portion of the
night in the hall, made observations, and,
noticing a cash box and gold watch,
broke one Of the ten commandments by
coveting these articles. When an oppor-
tunity presented itself one of the yonng-
sters slipped the boxes away, and the
things were not missed until midnight. In
formation was sent to police headquarters,
and an officer detailed to hunt up the
young rascals. They were captured in
Magazine market, and a portion Of the
money found on one of them. The box was
broken and left in the street. 1t is hoped

they are not the principals in this mean
