In last evenings ARGUS we remafheo
49,, AZ -anptation of certain saloon Ia
this CITY. We thought no names we're need
sd. but as some persons have seen fit to
f.s.sn uniustly our truthful remarks upon 8
saloon that is peaceably kept, we would say
that we referred to saloon on the corner of
East Eagle and Water streets, and would
further say to the propristors thereof that II
they intend to keep saloon in this city, II
they intend to carry on legitimate bust
ness, they viii have to rid themselves OF the
gang Of loAfers that infest theirsaloon. We
have or hold nothing against the Messrs.
Bell, save that they cow keep saloon, os-
tensibly tor the purpose of gaining living,
but in reality the headquarters of the worst
gang of river rats that ever infested our city
There is no doubt of this. Any one at all
familiar with the vermin can satisfy
themselves by simply looking into
that saloon, at any time of the dsy or night.
We have no doubt but that all Of the recent
distur Dances of the peace can be traced to
the gang holding forth at that corner. Pass
engers having occasion to pass to and from
the ferry will always fpd the gang well rep
resented among the corner loafers there
If the present state of affairs continues, al
that place, we would advise ell respectable
citizens to keep away from that locality afte,
dark, especially if they happen to be well
dressed, and have about them any evidence
of possessing dime.
If the Messrs. Bell come here with the
intention of doing a legitimate business
and keeping respectable saloon, it is high
time they were at it. They have made q
poor beginning, and if they are sensible will
either quit the business, or get rid OF the
gang they now shelter. This city wants no
such saloon as they are now keeping, and
tciH not haze them.
If they cannot take our advice, let them
consider how they can best leave town
; The police should keep their eyes open and
on that saloon, for in our opinion, if the
whole force were to watch no where else
the remainder of the city would be perfectly
( safe.
There are several young men, the sons o
. respectable parents, who frequent that So
a loon for excitement. We would advisl
2 them to stay at home, or pass their even
ings In some more profitable employment
for there the principles of roguery and Law
lessness are inculoated in their breasts, an'
ere they know it, the habits acquired Their
y will master them. Think, too, how 20
would disgrace your parents By drsggin
their names into the lowest place in skis
ence-tbe jail. Be warned in time.

that idleness is the highest happiness, or
rather, it assumes that men out OF en-
ployment can and will engage in some
thing better than healthful and profitable
labor. One Of the chief errors of this as
sumption is that idleness lacks the ex-
hiliarating suggestion that it is profitable
Labor always has this cheerful thought
for companion, that it is profitable.
Working eight hours day for two dol
lars and then falling into idleness, pro-
duces the reflection that the loss of time
is the loss of money, whether it is or not
And no sensible man averse to the seduc-
tons of the coffee house and the public
place, ever feels content with an idle
pair of hands in his pockets. His read
ing is proftless because his minds settled
and uneasy. We believe the eight hour
advocates have an organization in this
city, in which event we commend to their
attention the fact which we have referred
to in New York, that capital has fanked
their movement by engaging men by the

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The stock market is dull Levee was
not offered yesterday, and no sales were
made that can serve as basis for quota
TONS There was, according TO report, a
canard, coming from New York, to the
effect that the stock had been quoted on
the board at 81. This is one of the cage
alluded to a few days ago as being kept
on hand, like carrier pigeons, to be dds
patched" whenever occasion required.
The stock stifened, catching at this straw,
and bid higher than the market rate was
offered and refused. The last quotation
was Sc Is, and if there has been any
change, the wish can not be'taken for it,
but the fact. There is no beginning Of
the work on the levees, no stalking out Of
a plan. as promised, and the best reports
can not make the market active.
Pneumatic sold at Sc rs, but without
inquiry.
Gold on Wall street ruled at III; in
our own market it stood steady at 49,,
and small amounts of money were sold at
the latter figure without the pressure Of
a strong demand.
The class of bankers and brokers who
do an indoor business were content to
confne themselves in view of the threat
ening weather without, which usually is
a hindrance to the good understandings
of trade.
There are no new stocks spoken Of. 1t
was iutimated yesterday that measures
would be commenced with the ultimate
object of making what is known as the
waterworks bill into law, and as part
of this plan it is proposed to make pur-
chase before the scheme is completed
into law Of all the stock at the present
rates of about fifteen cents on the hun
bred dollars, when, Of course, those who
are owners of this tissue paper will find
themselves the possessors of some cash.
None of the stock is Offering. Holders
have not the hardwood to open it out.
No one one speaks Of it unless with du-
bious shake Of the head. Yet there are
parties interested whose faith in law is
such that they will make the attempt to
give the plan validity it never possessed,
and in the full tide Of its report to go in
and win.
The inquiries made after real estate
shows the interest taken in this order of
business. Up town lots have the call,
even if they are frog ponds. The over
flows from the lake have caused all settlers
to turn their eyes along the banks of the
river, so that the city in its settlements is
MISUNDERSTANDING at either end, and
broad in the middle. Property has i'm
proved in value in the Second District,
but only Gin spots. y The suburban
quarters below the Third District are left
out in the cold. Grass grows even on the
paved streets, and real estate steadily de-
preciates. A glance at the books of the
several brokers will show, by the prices,

The RIGHT VIEW OF IT.

The Shreveport Southwestern, albeit an
able and earnest opponent of the Repub-
ican party, is fair one 1t is willing to
sustain an honest official in defending the
interests Of the State:
We have our own fights to make with the
Governor, and intend to keep in sight of all
his official acts as far as we are able to do
so. We think there has been much to con-
denim in his course; and, though fruitless
the task, perhaps, we have been unsparing
in our censure. Il however gives US
pleasure TO indorse his assumption of the
responsibility in removing the Secretary Of
State for misconduct in office, and Dis
commended him strongly for his prompt &C.
ton in the Wicklitfe case. If he will per-
severe in his removals of incompetent
men, he will take the wind out of the sails
of the Dunntes, for he will be acting a
reformation while they are only resolving
about it.

where and in what direction the demand
for property lies.
Nobody can make out anything OF the
cotton market on Mondays. Buyers scan
the figures of Saturday, but make no pur-
chases. Factors are equally indisposed
to ''come down." and much valuable time
is wasted either in chewing toothpicks or
smoking cigars. The eyes of every one
are now turned toward the future. The
past is already forgotten. 1t may be a
forthcoming day, week or month, but the
cotton mind is absorbed in what the fu-
ture will bring. Very little cotton is
offering, and there is quite an indisposi-
ton to come up and buy.
1t was mentioned on the street Mon
day that the Economist, of New York,
had estimated the coming crop at over
four million bales in the hearing of all
the bad news about crop destruction.
This journal had calculated the crop end
ing August 81, 1871, within few thou
to its predictions now an oracular ring.
The reasoning Of this journal is, that the
crop has increased every year since the
close of the war; that granting the esti-
mated damage, and balancing the same
with the increase over last year, the re-
suit is four million and half bales. We
leave this question with those whose sue
CESS depends upon solution of such
problem. The chalk, the blackboard and
the known quantities are all here but the
unknown. The course of any economist
is through fog. The answer to such enor-
nous estimates as the one just mentioned
is found in the reports from the country,
which establish that ten per cent less IN
acreage has been planted with cotton;
that the worms and the rains have de-
stroyed at least fifteen per cent OF that
which was planted. Such extravagant
estimates as four millions are believed by
no one, unless when wanting to buy cot
ton. Then it is manifestly to ones inter
est to hold that there will soon be so
much of it he can drive his own bargain.
Much depends whether it is buyer or
seller whose opinion is given. Not one
of the four millionites will be heard from
a couple of months hence, when the un-
known quantity will spell itself out from
one end of the land to the other.

THE TIDAL WAVE HUMBUG.

A good deal of needless excitement has
been raised by the absurd rumor that our
sea coast would be visited by tidal. wave
about the fourth of October next. We
do not know who invented the rumor,
nor where or how it first got into the
newspapers. It's ascriphon to Professor
Agassiz gave it some currency among the
unrefecting, who either did not know or
did not reflect that the eminent man re-
ferred to is no astIonomist, no prophet,
nor better able TO predict with accuracy
tidal wave than one of our so-called for
tune tellers. We are glad, therefore, to
see that Professor Forshey has given such
a public answer to inquiries on this SUBJ
ject as will allay any excitement that may
exist in the minds of the timid. His let
ter appeared in the Sunday Times, and is
republished in this mornings REPUBLICAN.

IMMIGRATION,

The millions upon millions of acres of
land in the United States that have never
been cultivated, and require but the la
boring hand to make them a mine of
wealth to the country and the people who
shall enter upon and till them, is proof
strong as holy writ that there is land of
promise for the down-trodden and half
starved working classes Of Europe. The
sad condition of the great body Of the
laboring people Of all the States of Eu-
rope is forcing upon many who are for
tunate enough to be able to leave, the al
tentative Of emigration. Those who can
leave the scenes of misery and degrade
ton with which the working people Of
Europe are familiar, are doing so; but for
every hundred that can thus free them
selves from an intolerable bondage, there
are | thousand who are utterly unable to
throw off their shackles. They are doomed
to almost incessant labor upon pay sthat
barely serves to keep soul and body to-
gether. This condition Of things has al
most depopulated Ireland, and threatens
revolution in England if not remedied.
Reports have recently been made
in regard to the working classes of Eng
land that are not creditable to wealthy
and civilized nation. The report in re-
gard to the inhuman manner in which
