IMMIGRATION. -l
The European war, in addition to its
disastrous effect of depressing the price
of cotton, has caused the suspension Of
the Hamburg steamship line to New Or
leans, and interrupted, for time, the
Bremen line. The recent arrival, how
ever, of nearly eight hundred emigrants
on single steamer gives promise not
only of an increased emigration from
Germany, and possibly from France, af-
ter the termination Of the war, but, also,
that New Orleans will hereafter share
more largely in the benefits Of the emf
grant trade The establishment of the
Liverpool and Mississippi Steamship
Line, whose ships are built especially for
the transportation of emigrants from
Great Britain and the Scandinavian
countries, will also increase the popular
ity of the New Orleans route Of immi-
grafton, even to the Northwestern States.
It is to be hoped, however, that the plan
tiers and landowners of Louisiana viii be
able to induce larger number Of the i'm
migrants landed in New Orleans to settle
within the borders of the State.
During the last year, the Commits
sioners of Emigration have published
largely in the Northern States and in
Great Britain, and it is their intention to
send q competent agent to Europe -
soon as the war shall have terminated.
During the autumn there has been o
large influx Of laboring population from
the Northwestern States. Xxx.

In the present impoverished condition
of our people, life insurance is suggested
as the great practical remedy. Previous

acquaintance with the subject of life in

Then it was rare occurrence to find q
man who had not, by his labor and enter

without full discussion and concurrence
ON the part of taxpayers as to what Ray
be the wiser and better course.
The city government has now power
to issue bonds for wharf and street i'm
provements, a power which has been iu-
diciously and sparingly exercised. Re-
lative to wharves, this was probably the
best and only disposition that could be
made but the new charter takes away
the power to require street paving to be
paid in part by the property facing. To
attempt to meet the paving requirements
of New Orleans by issuing bonds would
create an herculean debt, and I recon-
mend return to the old law requiring
proprietors to pay their proportion OF
the paving.

but one treasury should exist for custody
