If the Southern Pacific railroad adopts
the wide gauge from the Mississippi to
the Rio Grande, and the narrow gauge
from the Rio Grande to California, the
consequence will be that the only through
trains will switch of at Ell Paso, on the
Rio Grande, and pass west to Denver,
Colorado, and thence on to st. Louis. Is
this not fact worthy of some attention
from the Southern incorporators of the
road? Work is still being pushed for
ward upon that section of the Pacific
road detecting to Memphis, and it is
altogether possible that our only connec-
ton with the great railroad will be over
the Chattanooga road to Houston. As
neither Of these are narrow gauge, and as
the progress of the age seems to point to
the adoption of that gauge hereafter, are
We not in danger of being left out in the
cold when the Southern route is opened?
New Orleans has taken so little notice of
events, that she is now stagnating for
want Of business, and yet her experience
has not had the effect to make her open
her eyes to what her rivals are doing to
secure the trade Of Northern Mexico.

A FAILURE.

When the Times announced that it was
about to publish detailed statement Of
the expenses of the city government 70,
the month of October, one or two New
York capitalists, who have invested in
city bonds, became a little frightened.
They looked for repetition of the New
York Tammany exposures. These gentle.
men thought that our bombastic neighbor
was about to initiate its New York name
sake, and play the deuce with our careless
officials. But the old residents, who have
read the detailed statements Of the City
Hall expenses as they have been faith
fully published in the REPUBLICAN every
week, rightly supposed it vas sell con-
trived by our astute contemporary to at
tract attention toitself Hence the orders
for extra copies yesterday morning were
not very heavy. And when the paper
came out with its parade of figures, which
may have been and possibly were, so
far as they are correct, compiled from the
columns Of the REPUBLICAN, the prevail
ing sentiment was that the Times had made
a fizzle out of its charge upon the munich
pal Offices. We are willing to concede,
as everybody has long supposed it to be a
fact that the expenses of the city govern
ment are too great, and the administra-
tors have been for some time endeavoring
to cut item down. But there is not a
single essential fact made public by the
Times yesterday which the intelligent
readers Of the REPUBLICAN have not been
made acquainted with long before the
Times conceived the brilliant idea of re-
publishing the pay rolls.
1t appears from the items paraded be-
fore the public by the Times that the total
expenses of the city proper, exclusive Of
the police department, are about s65, 600
per month We believe this is too much.
but we do not see that there is any viii

"A STITCH m THE.

Are the public authorities Of New Or
leans, Carrollton and Jefferson parish
doing their duty in regard to the break in
the levee near Camp Parapet? All Of
these communities are interested in seeing
the embankment at that point fully and
substantially restored, for an ovarfow at
Camp Parapet would inundate not only
the parish Of Jefferson, right bank, and
the city If Carrollton, but it would SUBJ
merge the Jackson ailroad and q large
portion of the rear of New Orleans. Mil
lions Of dollars worth of property would be
sacrificed, and hundreds of lives would
undoubtedly be lost. At present there
are few men slowly shoveling up dirt
on the line Of the newly proposed levee,
but they do not seem to be managed
properly, nor are their efforts such as to
amount to much. What is wanted is an
effective manager, with large and pow
erful body of active laborers. The State
will no doubt reimburse the cost of the
levee to the corporations that may make
it; but even if there were no hope of this
character to induce action in this matter,
the work must be done, even if the cities
Of New Orleans and Carrollton have to do
it themselves. There is but little time
within which to erect this levee, for the
rise in the river may come upon us at any
time. The unexampled drouth which
has prevailed in the Northwest will prob
ably be followed by excessive rains at an
early day, and the effect of these upon
the streams that regulate the rise in the
Mississippi river is not a matter to be
trifed with. It does not require lengthy
argument or . studied appeal to arouse
the public to the danger which menaces
ourselves and our neignbors from this
source, for the terrible overhows that
have devastated this region within the
last few years are fresh in the minds of
all. We are beset by sufficient drawbacks
already. that depreciate property and ar
rest the growth of the city, without in
viting other calamities to devastate that
which is left.

Full prices still mark cotton transactions
and are even indicative of o further ad.
vance, according to prevailing opinion.
Orders from Liverpool, limited, still show
an impression across the water Of lower
prices in the future, which impression may
be owing to the position Of buyer or to an
actual comparison Of facts and figures. We
hear it is impossible to fill many of these
orders. The activity that stirs throughout
all cotton transactions is refreshing, consid-
ering the emphatic dullness pronounced
through the whole line of other business on
the great money thOr0ughfare.
There is NO variation to report in domes-
tic exchange, though foreign is stiffening
day by day. City appropriation certificates
are rising slowly, while other city securities
are dull.
In State warrants $1,000 sold yesterday
at 49,
The stock market was in a state of ad.
yauced dullness. Street operators wedged
themselves inside their overcoats and
looked blue on the corners, perhaps offered
stock to those who they knew would not
buy, or offered to buy of those who were
not sellers, mainly with the object of reviv-
ing show Of business, but all such efforts
were unavailing. The "fancies have been
swept from the street. Where the Water
works has gone no one knows, pertinent
inquiries failing to fetch it up. 1t may be
surprising, but the announcement was
boldly made that old Ship Island would
soon come on the street again, basking1 in
the sunshine of an illimitable franchise, but
circumscribed capital. Other enterprises
Of great pith are soon to be uncovered and
the stock appear for purchase. Coming
down to things actually done, we hear of
100 shares of Levee sold at 50 IS, 200 at
50 621a and 200 do at SO 5712, showing the
average rate to be 50 IS.
1t transpires that the few shares of Mis-
sissippi and Mexican Gulf Canal stock
offered yesterday belonged to parties
who had made their Arrangements

was easy but who are now obliged
to realize. Nine-tenths of the stock be-

the success Of the project is assured.
These stockholders pin their faith to the
of large business on the open
ing of the canal, and depend for profits on
the successful results Of an immense amount
Of machinery at work on their drainage
contract in rear of the city. Few shares
ever in the nature of things, reach the street
and it is said by parties largely interested
that it is designed to retire every share and
prevent it from becoming the prey and
sport of such rumors and advices as at apy
time may eddy through the street. The two
enterprises, the canal and drainage, are
both real, and the stockholders, a. far a.
lies in their power, are determined the stock
shall not be rated along with the thousand
