the Rio Grande by the United States OH
Gals. First, then, the smuggler, by way of
the free zone does not avoid the tariff, but
absolutely pays it; secondly, he risks him
self among consummate set of thieves
and assassins along the Rio Grande;
and thirdly, he has to smuggle his goods
into the United States at last, after hav-
ing gone down to the Rio Grande and
paid as much money as he would have
had to pay had he entered his goods at
the New Orleans Customhouse. The
thing is absurd. and is merely one of the
Brownsville ways of creating sensation.
There are lot of people on the Rio
Grande who would make great deal of
money if the United States and Mexico
should fall to fighting each other, and
they are always using their little wits to
bring about the result which is the only
hope Of the Rio Grande folks. This free
zone dodge is too thin, though, and the
Brownsvillians must look up some newer
and better reason for row, or there will
be no marshaling of clans on the banks of
the turbid Rio Grande.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

Cotton was remarkably active in demand
yesterday, and larger number of bales
was sold than has been apparent since the
year opened. The sales were located some
where between $500 and 1000 bales. Nor is
such condition Of things owing to the
spur of any advices from the cotton centres.
Offerings were heavy, and other signs show
the sales will soon ascend the ladder and
the receipts swell to hundreds of thousands.
A decided advance Of an eighth took place,
and an undecided advance of a quarter is
predicted, but all predictions are at a els.
count. The rise in price only applies, as
yet, to the better grades, the lower showing
no change. Coming events cast their
shadows before, provided one can see
whence these shadows come, but intelli-
gence from all quarters goes to show that
the cotton market will not be inactive for
some time.
Money showed nothing marked. Indeed
all changes in the money market are not
perfected from day to day, but much longer
time is required.
Gold closed yesterday at 1ll1s. Sales
made consisted only of the usual run.
Foreign exchange is indolent, and is couse-
quently declining until another demand
shall infuse new energy into transactions,
Domestic exchange still at discount on
New York.
There appears to be no movement in State
warrants. unless it be a slight movement
downward.

A BAD EXCUSE FOR WAR.

President Grants head is level on the
Rio Grand trouble. The IONA libre
which makes Matamoras a free port is
not matter to go to war about; and if
Tampico can stand it, we do not see why
the United States should create q dis
turbance about it in order to help Browns
vile. We might just as we'll set up the
claim to supervise the Canada tariff and
its operations on the Northern frontier,
as to pretend that because there is diff
ference between the revenue collected off
of merchandise imported into Matamoras
and that imported into Brownsville, the
United States should at once force Mexico
to adjust her customhouse rates by our
own on our Southern border. Smuggling
is carried on all along the Canada line,
but that has never been considered just
cause for our going to war with Great
Britain. Smuggling is said to prevail
along the Rio Grande, but that only in
structs us to reduce our tariff or to double
our vigilance.
The truth is about this free zone on the
Rio Grapde, it Injuries Brownsville; and
whatever Injuries Brownsville at once as
sumes national Importance, because cor
respondents from many important papers
go to Brownsville to obtain Mexican news,
and being there, they magnify whatever
subject disturbs the Browsvillians. And
thus it comes to pass that whenever a
fresh letter writer descends to the Rio
Grande, We hear this ssfree zone iniquity, -
as it is called, discussed anew.
There is no smuggling of any conse-
quence from across the Rio Grande into
the United States, as it does no pay.
Goods are admitted into AIatamoras on
the payment of small municipal tax,
but they can not get out of town again
until after they have paid the Mexican
tariff, which is fully equal to our own.
It will thus be seen that in order to smue-
gle goods into the United States throuoh
Matamoras, the party smuggling must
first pay quite as much of duty as he
would have had to pay in New Orleans,
New York or Galveston, and then he has
to run the gauntlet of being picked up on

CHEERING INTELLIGENCE.

A dispatch was received from New
York, yesterday, announcing the cheering
fact that the New Orleans, Mobile and Tex

placing nearly all its bonds, and that all
its financial and other difficulties will be
terminated at once. The work along the
whole line, including the branch from
Vermil:onville to Shreveport, will now
be prosecuted with the vigor and energy
that attended the construction Of the road
from here to Mobile, and subsequently to

One would think. to read the Picavuae,
that the three or four administrators at the
City Hall were the most violent and I'M
reasonable quartette Of individuals in ex-
istence. Their entire time and attention
are reported to be taken up in thwarting
the will of the people and in imposing
upon the Picayme and its friends. They
are the verlest obstinates that ever became
misplaced to misrepresent the people of
any community. 1t is doubtful if they
know what they are doing, or what they
want. They ought to be ashamed of them
selves first, and then they ought to be told
how to be better than they are. The
P;cayne is able to fill the position of
mentor in these particulars.

The laboring men of England are most
ly members of the International Society,
and their numbers and purposes have
made them rather formidable since they
have recently put forth some rather revo-
lutionary ideas. To counteract this ten
dency of this large mass of men to. make
war upon the old and long established Or
ders of society, some of the aristocracy
recently joined the International Society,
and by making friends with some Of the
leading mechanics, and by treating others,
they have so split the organization that it
is now no longer considered dangerous.
This was STOPPING to conquer, as they
called it.

Perhaps the best thing the city can do
would be to turn the entire fire business
over to the Picayune. Our contemporary
is in chronic condition of combustion
on the subject, and throws lurid light
upon the transaction from both sides, as if
it was regular double-ender calcium re-
Hector. Let the administrators just hand
the matter over to the Picayune. It uses
the pronoun "we" as if it had sequestered
the word, and intended to set up an ex-
elusive right to its employment-'swe
