EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
The commercial reporter Of the Picayune,
in his article Of the second instant, evidently
touched tender spot, one of the corns, of
the Customhouse management; judging
from the wriggling.
Why was Mr.. Highly so fault finding
They told him the truth when they informed
him they ..had no men to send.a Of course
they didn't, although the Custemhonse rolls
bear the names of as many hborers as in
the busy season. The matter vas, you see,
the laborers were all detailed to manage
politics, i. O., whip Warmoth and his dis
ciples, not to obstruct commerce. Oh, no
Mr.. Highly should have considered the high
mission of the Customhouse economists be-
fore complaining. COMMERCE.

HYDRO CARBON GAs-Sloper's Patent Ap-
paratus.-It is seldom that corporation,
which has paid large sum of money for
the privilege of manufacturing and vending
an article of machinery, takes the trouble
to experiment upon and improve it, as has
been done by the New Orleans Hydro-C Car
bon Gaslight Company with its apparatus.
1t appears to have been convinced that
its machine was susceptible of being made
perfect one, and preferred to attempt
doing so before offering it to the public.
And that it was successful is proved by
the card of Mr.. 7. Lacoste, OF Natchitoches,
Louisiana, which will be found in another
column. The machine spoken of in this
card has been managed for the whole time
1.-TWO months) by Mr.. Lacoste himself or his
clerks, and is absolutely admirable in every
particular. We have also interviewed other
persons who have these machines. One
gentleman, who has been running one since
April last, informed us that he formerly
took city gas in his store at an expense of
twelve dollars per month, and now he has
a much better light for not quite nine dol
lars per month. A saving of twenty
five per cent, it will be seen, is
here made. He stated to us that the
light produced from this gas is stronger,
softer, and that there is not that disagreed
BILE smell of gas about the premises, as was
formerly the case. Upon being questioned
in regard to the trouble of recharging the
machine and keeping it in order, he replied
that, of course, it required some care, and
that was all about it. When compared
with filing and handling coal oil lamps, or
even cleaning the candlesticks for large
family, it was insignificant Said he: III
/ used lamps enough to light my store, it
would take the porter about third OF his
time to take care of them, and | should all
the time be afraid of an explosion. Now l
know that am absolutely safe from dam
ger, and charging the machine occupies
about one hour per month, all told. And
then, sir, the satisfaction of having such a
beautiful light; that is the glorious thing
about Sloper's machine"
In view of such evidence in its favor,
we feel assured that the New Orleans Hydro
Carbon Gaslight Company, which is now
prepared to manufacture its gas appara-
tus Of any size and capacity, at the shortest
notice. will soon have all it can do sup
plying the demand for them. Of course, it
Il not likely that many people who have.
