Canal Street and Its AdOrnments.

Two or three days since allusiOn was
made in the columns of some of the city
papers to proposition, said to be discussed
at the City Hall, in reference to the re
moval of Instructions on Canal street
These journalists assumed that the adver-
tising fountain and the Clay statue were
both distractions, thereby declaring them
selves unqualified to instruct the commun-
ity, or guide them in the acquisition of
taste for the beautiful in art and mechanics.
The Citizens Guard yesterday morning.
following where it could not lead, and deal
ing in glittering generalities, said
Canal street is, and as long as the city
stands must ever be, the great thOrOughfare
of the city, each year increasing IN COM
mercial importance. 1t ought not, there
fore, to be obstructed with unsightly shan
ties. mercenary fountains or lll-placed
statutes. The public streets are for the use
of the public, and no special or exclusive
privileges should be given to any person or
corporation.
"statutes :. is not clear, but if he has the
belief that the Clay statue is ill-placed, his
taste differs from that of refined and intel
ligent people, who can see nothing out of
place in the most central location Of the
city for the statue of one of the great
statesmen of the United States.
As to the .mercenary fountain a public
spirited gentleman, the inventor of an i'm
portant patent by which fountains are
greatly beautifed, was willing at his own
expense to add to the natural attractions of
Canal street by the erection of the elegant
structure that graces the neutral ground at
the junction of Canal and Camp streets.
The work of casting this fountain was done
by one of our most energetic mechanics,
who has introduced such improvements in
his establishment that his is called "a Yam
kee foundry"
1t gave employment to some of our New
Orleans mechanics. and the fountain is ad-
mitted to be one of the most beautiful OBJ
ects of art on Canal street.
An amateur writer from New Orleans, ON
the ninth instant, to the Louisville COM
nerciai, says Of the fountain
That small building standing in the mid
die of the street, al the head of Camp. is
called public fountain; by what courtesy
does not appear, as the water is carefully
concealed, and the poor little walls are
hideous with posters.
1t SO happened that the fountain itself
was at that time hidden from view. while
some changes were being made that would
add to the beauty of its workings. and that
misled the stranger. but an intelligent resi-
dent of New Orleans has 40 excuse for
depreciating the appearance of the attrac-
tions of the Canal street fountain.
The public taste will be improved and
gratified by more works of art, whether
statues or fountains. even if some of them
be erected at private expense, on our public
thoroush hiares and in onr public squares.

WASHINGTON.
An Original Ex Parte Case BE fore fin
SuDrene COnrf.

supreme Conrf.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The Supreme
Court took up to-day the case known aS the
original ex parte T. Jefferson Green. This
is one of the South Carolina cases under
the enforcement act of May, 1870, and
Messrs. Stanberry and johnson, failing to
get the constitutiOnality of the law before
the court in the case of Avery and others,
upon certificate of division in respect of
questions raised on motion to quash. now
moved for writ of habeas and certiorarl
to bring up this case for review, the court
below having refused to discharge the petit
toner on habeas corpus. After some con-
versation between the court and counsel the
matter was taken under advisement.
Robert Hutchinson has been assigned as
assistant United States district attorney for
the prosecution of the revenue cases in
Louisiana.
Nothing has developed to authorize a
modification of previous dispatches regard
ing the contest of Louisiana factions here.
Governor WarmOth may not have author
ICED the President to propose central State
committee of ten from each faction with Mar
shall Packard as chairman, but it is certain
the President was the vehicle of such a
proposition to Warmoth's opponents, and
conveyed the impression that it would CON
ciliate the Warmoth faction. There is also
no UOuDu tudu w NdTIilOtu OppUACutS AAioi
mally refused to compromise. The only
question of veraclty is whether the Presi-
dent favored the proposition, but the i'm
preston is he simply acted impartially.
The coored delegation were at the Capi-
tol to-day. and had an interview with Sen
ator West, who earnestly urged upon them
a compromise with Governor WarmOth,
but without avail. They unanimously re-
piled that they would have nothing to do
with Governor WarmOth, and that the col
ored people of Louisiana entertained the
same sentiments.
Packard and others of this committee
here expect to return Immediately to Lou
isiana, and convention to choose dele
gates to Philadelphia will probably be
called at once.
There is a general disposition here in
political circles to take no part in COM
promising matters in Louisiana. as the
situation seems to be surrounded with so
many difficulties.
The present indications are that 1ngra-
har,, or some other colored man, will get
the surveyOrship.

I deem it of the first moment to true
plan of life to give to the acquisition of
worldly gear its just position, as an i'm
nortant incident not the chief object, of a
manly career. He who has reached his
thirti,eth forticth, tiftieth year, yet Is still
poor and needy, may possibly have been
kept poor by the unusual burdens or sue
cessive nisfortunes; but, ih the absence of
these, the natural presumption is strong

THE CITY HALL.

very silly attempt is being made by the
Citizens Guard to threw doubt upon the
legality of the appointment of Administra-
tors Remick and COckrem. Whether the
Senate confirmed them or not, they would
hold over until their successors were quail
fed. If not appointed second time. they
would still act until others came to take
their places. The objections urged by the
Citizens Guard are, therefore, absurd
Upon an investigation of the accounts OF
j. B. Watkins, the absconding levee col
lectOr of the First District, it has been
found that his deficiency amounts to
$53S6 OF. His securities, Messrs. j. II. Han
Ma, Thomas Ong and J. W. Swords, bound
in sclido for the amount, have been formally
notified by the Mayor to make up this sum
to the city. There will probably be no liti-
CATION in the matter. as the evidence OF
fraud in the hands of the Administrator Of
Commerce is very clear.
proposition was yesterday made to the
Council by well known dealer to place
near one of the draining machines an i'm
mense rotary pump, and to ascertain by
actual test the superiority Of the machine
over the ordinary draining wheel. The pro-
prietor proposes to place the pump in po-
sition at his own expense, provided the city
will pay for it if its superiority is clearly
proved. No action has yet been taken in
the matter by the Council.
The resolution authorizing the digging of
a canal on Banks street has not been ap-
proved by the Mayor.
The property holders of the Sixth District
have petitioned the Council to construct
Valence to Peters street.
The collections by the Administrator of
Finance Thursday were only $1,000.

The Vicksburg Times relates this novel
way of delivering the mail:

way OF delivering the mail:
The United States mail steamer Colorado
received pouch of mail at this point on
Tuesday evening for Duckport Not having
freight for that point, her captain thought
he would save time by running IN close to
the bank and throw the mail out, which re-
suited in the pouch falling short of the bank
and sinking in the river, thus saving the
Duckport postmaster the trouble of opening
and delivering the mail There were about
twenty letters in the pouch which were put
up by Assistant Postmaster Arn in our Of
flee. This is an accident and gleam. of
charitable light should be shed upon it, had
there been a route agent upon the boat, 1T
would have been clear "ticket-otleave'
for him, and our advice to him would have
been to resign Immediately; but steamboat
contracts and route agents berths are
siiyhtly different.

ssThe Veteran, mt the Academy.

There was decided improvement last
night in the audience at this establishment
to witness Lester Wallack's new play en-
titled THE Veteran We regard the play
as one of the best that has been produced
here this winter. The talented company OF
the Academy have not had time to perfect
themselves in this piece, and consequently
did not get through as smoothly as could
be desired. 1t should be repeated, in order
to give our people chance to judge OF its
merits. We are satisfied the lady and gen
tleman performers at the Academy can
make this sparkling piece a. most acceptable
performance, provided they are allowed to
become perfect in it.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN \
HoME.-Upon perusing notice published
in another column this morning by the New
Orleans Credit Foncier Association. it will
be seen that two brick dwellinghouses. now
in the course of construction. are to be dis
posed of at a credit Of ten years, payable
monthly. These houses are suitable for
moderate sized families. and are situated in
one of the best localities for residences in
the Third District, On Love street. between
Clouet and Montegut streets. The books
of the association are open for subscription
to the stock, and, as matter of course.
stockholders will have the first preference
when these properties are to be disposed Of:
but the door is not shut to bids from out
siders: on the contrary, parties who are
desrous of obtaining houses have only to
let their wants be known to the association.
and they will he accommodated on the
most reasonable possible terms. For in
stance, person owning lot, 70 matter in
what locality, can get house of the dlmen-
sions he may desire put upon it by only
paying one. tenth of the cost down in cash,
and have ten years to pay the balance,
drawing six per cent annually also upon the
deposit As the association employs its own
architects and builders by the year. and
purchases all the materials from first hands,
it. of course, can put up houses far cheaper
than any private person. and better, too.
With such an opportunity to become the
owner of his own house., We can easily
promise that there will be but few working
men in our city hereafter who will not be
come proprietors. We advise all such to
become stockholders in the Credit FoRcifr
Association. Every dollar they invest in
such stock will increase year after year.

Items Of Yesterday-The Dispatches
from Schenck on the WASH
ingtOn Treaty.

New YORK, May S0.-It is reported
that thirty thousand dollars of the funds
of the Eighth National Bank have been
fraudulently paid to the ex-Bank Ex-
aminer.
Hannah Fowler was yesterday acquit-
ted of the murder Of her husband.
Weather cool and showing, with the
appearance Of rain.
Preparations for celebrating the deco
ration of the soldiers graves will be
made on large scale.
President Grant has sent a letter to
the Grand Army regretting his inability
TO celebrate the day with them.
The Greek Consul here denies that
Greek criminals have been shipped to
this country.
A Washington dispatch says that the
President, when at the Senate yester-
day, showed to the leading Senators the
dispatches received from Minister
Schenck on the supplemental article.
The first of these dispatches represent
that the British Government is dissatis-
fed and cannot accept the Senate sup
piement, unless there is another supple
ment adopted, making the explana-
ton clear. To this Secretary Fish
reported that no further concession
could be made. A subsequent dispatch
reiterated that the changes in the arti-
Gle adopted in the Senate were not clear
10 the English Government yesterday.
Secretary Fish assured Minister Thorn
ton that the Senate resolution was the
alternative of the United States, and
that the further obstinacy OF the British
Government could only be regarded by
our Government as desiring to see the
treaty fail altogether. A dispatch was
sent to Minister Schenck yesterday that
the British Government must accept
the Senate proposition or none at all, OF
the responsibility of the failure of the
treaty rests on England. The President
does not think therewill be any emergen-
cy for an extra session of the Senate,
but should further treaty negotiations
ensue, it may become necessary.
