ON CARONDELET STREET.

The late troubles have affected the Dor
! rowing of money upon State securities on
all sides, and though loans may be easily
bonds, it can not be said that transactions
are equally easy with the obligations of the
State. The obligations may have fallen but
slightly for instance, may be worth sixty,
seventy or eighty cents, yet in no case can
they be pledged for half of these figures,
with the single exception of State warrants,
which remain without much alteration.
Railroad bonds can not be negotiated under
the present circumstances, holders keeping
them in the bank box. The shadow
Of reputation already turks about the
corners where fire-plug politicians
entertain their motley throng, and
this is taken into consideration with other
views whenever State bonds are mentioned
for the sake of investment. True, repudia-
ton is believed in by no one so long as the
State government holds a secure seat.
There are to the plan several kinds;
first, to wipe out every kind of State debt;
second, to secure a particular debt and re-
pudiate others. But all such schemes, even
as last resort are not found to be enter
tanned by any man of sense, OF wealth, or
position, or brains. Occasionally On6hears
a statement such as this: 1T is better if the
city or State had no credit at all, for then it
would be impossible to get into debt" But
it is believed hard to find any men who pos
sess any kind of influence to suggest repu-
diation. What need be said, then, of
the character of those who have
lately INDUCED in violent harangues and
announce such to be their plan. 1t is dema-
goguerv. All men of this class fall into the
same line for the purpose OF gaining popu-
larity with the mob. who will toss their
hats for man to-day and stampede him to
death tomorrow. The general opinion
among leading men of business is that law
and order will ultimately prevail, and that
out of chaos will come the supremacy of
strong administration. Nevertheless the
shadow of reputation has had the effect.
with other causes, to tie up State bonds and
withhold State obligations, inasmuch as the
reigning confusion brings about too many
doubts for safety. The actual effect is that
no bonds are offered, that lately no war
rants have been put on the street, though
general impression prevails that the evils
which menace the State government are
but temporary. and the cloud a passing
one. But in the prevalence of the troubles,
operations are suspended, and only grim
necessity authorizes a transaction.
The cotton market shows no signs of re-
taxation, factors having advanced their
prices quarter of cent more, calculating
that the rush is heavy enough to stand it,
and the demand sufficient to authorize it.
The traffic yesterday was strong under
New York advices. which are encouraging
again. The sales made are only restricted
by rules that render buyers unwilling to
settle

Free speech.

The Louisiana State Register says
OF one thing we are certain, that dur
ing Governor WarmOth's administration of
affairs in Louisiana the public press, or
rather the right of free speech, has been
freer than 1t ever was before and this is
our idea of what good government means
in one respect, at least. We have seen the
Governor abused without measure, and we
have seen his enemies abused and yet never
an attempt has been made to suppress this
by either party, because both were free to
do what either did. If the Governor had
been the despot that he was represented to
be, and had had at his control the thugs
who were said to be his to do his bidding.
this thing might not have been as clear as
it has been and though we do not approve
of slanderous abuse, still we prefer to see it
tolerated for those WHO do like it rather
than that the freedom Of speech should be
suppressed when the truth is necessary to
he told. AS has been said, error is never
dangerous so long as virtue is left free to
combat it and the speech that is wicked
can do but little hurt while the voice of
honesty is allowed to meet and destroy it.
Is it not better to have free speech. then.
under Warmoth, than to be muzzled under
another man whose popularity might be the
result of a suppression of the truth

We feel that we should be somewhat re-
miss in our duties as journalists in allow
ing to pass unnouced the part borne by
our worthy Senator, Hon. A. B. Harris,
and our Representative, Hon. l.. j. Souer,
in the recent issues which have been a
source of so much agitation to our party in
this State.
At the first demonstration Of hostility
toward the executive on the part of
Casey Carter & Co.. Messrs. Harris and
Souer ranged in line with the true Repub-
leans. and never for a moment have they
faltered in their duty or betrayed any of
the trusts contided to their keeping.
1t is doubtless gratifying to these gentle
men to be cognizant of the fact that their
efforts i'll securing the defeat of the rule
or ruin" party have not been in vain and
while we congratulate them upon the tri-
umphant success of the cause for which
they have thus striven, we tender them
the thanks OF the majority of their con-
stituents for the consistent conduct dis
played by them.

Peace Preserved.

Says the Louisiana State Register:
Governor Warmotil. whatever may be
said of him in other matters. has done what
was never done in New Orleans before.
He kept the peace at the late election. For
once the people went peaceably and voted ::
no rows, no tights, no insults. This is one
thing the Democrats and the Gem Legisa-
ture have forgotten to charge him with.
How can the Democracy succeed i'll meas

AND THEN THEY VANIsHED.-After the
Carter rabble swallowed a severe rebuke
from General Emory, it vanished, the mis-
guided individuals resolving into single
persons, which means next to nothing.
Tho leaders fiu1ipp their ra evolutionary
efforts all in vain, sank into an ObliviOus
condition-their normal state. 1t would be
hard to-day to find an awkward squad Of
these Carterites in cOnclave, outside the
Customhouse. They can't rally worth a
dime, and can't bully fifteen militiamen
from their position, although the militia
didn't have a round of ammunition to shoot
the communists when the latter undertook
to raid the Carondelet street armory.

About two o'clock last evening, as the mob

Dealers in Havana lottery tickets don t
seem to have things all their own way. AL
most every day some one is arrested for the
offensc. The nine who were arrested last
week were to make some kind of defense in
the First District Recorders Court yester-
day, but the subject was postponed indefi-
nitely.
CNsUCCEssFUL.-Oneo of the lodges that
the Canal street mob intended to try yester-
day was to turn in false alarm of fire from
the box in Woods cotton press, hoping to
thereby increase the crowd and create more
excitement. The trick was not successfully
carried out.
EsCAPED.-William Harris and John Sny-
der, condemned Migrants, made their es-
cape from the third precinct last evening
and are now perhaps looking for employ
ment.
