pile as that mythical hall in which Tara S

The repairs in the various fire engine
houses. under the direction OF the Admins
traitor of Waterworks, are being pushed
forward as rapidly as possible. The TWEEN

time when they will be done. The estimate
of the cost reaches some where in the

sENsITIVENEss WITHOUT SENSE.

The New York World playfully alluded
to the story that JEFF Davis, at the time of
his capture was arrayed like the lilies of
the field, III a petticoat. The Mobile Iri-
b,lne hereupon goes for The World in the
regular sawbOnes way, accusing it OF
slandering the South in thus mentioning
the JEFF Davis incident. How is this We
should like to ask. Is it SANDER upon
the South to alluded to Davis or any other
man? Are We all slandered when a
prominent man is spoken of in terms of
disparagement, whether truthfully or
otherwise? How comes it to be a SANDER
on the editor of the Tribune that another
and entirely different person is accused OF
having worn petticoat? We are of the
South, and we feel none Of this reproach,
for we never had on a petticoat on any
occasion. Gentlemen who have attempted
to run away have been known to conceal
themselves in all sorts Of DISCUSSES; and
We have no doubt that if Jeff Davis could
have secured safe retreat from the couu-
try at the time that he was a fugitive in
Georgia, he would have put on any sort Of
apparel to assist his attempt, even if the
gearing had taken the shape Of a petit
coat The story is neither strange, nor
scandal.

position to deal only in those stocks which
are rooted in a reliable basis, gaining in
strength until it is now the ruling passion.
All traces of monetary embarrassment
have passed away, and loans can be had
readily at eight per cent a year, where
short time ago the rates were counted easy
at lla per cent month. The supplies Of
money sent to the country as leverage to
move cotton, after descending into the
pockets of the country dealers, harterers
and planters, did not remain long before
finding their way to the city again for the
purchase of the years merchandise, the
payment of debts and the obtaining of
plantation stores and goods. Accumula-
lions in the banks are on the increase, and
surplus is ready for investment in what
soever will repay it. Hence it is that
money is seeking its location, and all kinds
of stocks and bonds are tenanted by money,
while real estate, as an investment, takes
its chances with the lighter orders of varied
valuations.

THE APOSTLES.

The Times says of the ffty-one apostles
of reform who are to be implicitly followed
and obeyed according to the dictum Of our
neighbor can hope to serve this com
munity, their place is now at the bar Of
the Legislature. Our contemporary how
ever, is mistaken. Their places are. at
their usual business avocations, looking
after commercial interests and endeayor-
ing to advance the trade and enterprise Of
the city. In their capacity as reformers
they have proven huge abortion, a dis
astrous failure. They have made the
fairest promises and have accomplished
nothing They have sought to weaken
public confidence in the State and NUM-
cipal government, have stirred up discus
sion, and given scope and intensity to
objectless and unreasonable evil report.
We say this because the facts bear us
out in it. They said that the municipal
government was perverted to wrong and
hurtiul uses, and that under the present
administration vast sums of money were
wasted and disbursed for no practical
benefit Or justifable cause. Under this
impression they We're appointed a commit
tee to investigate the abuses and detect
the municipal malversation. Weeks and
months were ostensibly employed in the
undertaking, when at last their report is
made. And what does it reveal? Not
single error is pointed out; not one dollar

On CARONDEi.ETS STREET.

The legal holiday made little difference
in the cotton market. From general APP
pearanccs, the train of cotton trading is
sloping down again, and the loads carried
by factors are not disbursed at the various
stations in the daily journey with the free
dom of the preceding days, owing to the
periodical influences which produce the ups
and downs, yesterday looking like one of
the downs. The actual sales made evidence
level, which, it il anticipated, will develop
into a decline. From the elimination of
II, 500 bales sold one of the days last week,
the market has descended to say $500 bales
sold yesterday. The oracle is dumb again.
The leaders of the trade are consequently
travelling On their last news. Unless some
intimation comes across the water. the bust
ness will remain in condition of ques-
cnce.
A "shell' struck in the street yesterday,
scattering the faithful in Leyee stock in all
directions, and spreading dismay on those
who had been waiting to sell We hear OF
the stock being offered at 50 IS ordinary,
but have not ascertained the sales.
There are no quotations at hand for lot
terry stock, although it is currently believed
some movement is on foot to help it up, as
there are many who hunt around. looking
it up.

AGAINST GOOD MORALS.

House bill No 800, which is now before
the Senate, is presented to us by nume--
GUS respectable citizens in very unfa-
vorable light. We do not think its pro-
visions were fully understood by the
House, or it would, at least, have been
amended. For instance, it permits the
establishing Of ''pretty waiter girl saloons
next door to any private residence, church
or other unsuitable" place which may
be selected This will depreciate prop
erty or compel the payment of a bonus to
escape such unseemly neighbors. Then
the private rooms provided for may be
used for gambling or other immoral pur-
poses, and be beyond police supervision.
These are only the more prominent of the
striking objections to the measure, which
in addition proposes to repeal all laws an
tagonistic that have heretofore been con-
sidered necessary to guard public moral
ty and decency. We do not suppose the
bill can escape the vigilance Of the Senate

do they discover, in all the departments,
expended for an unnecessary purpose.
They think there is extravaganza, but
are unable to say in whist it consists Not
single specific objection has been made
to the administration of any of the de-
partments. The inference is therefore
reasonable that the Committee Of Fifty
one is utterly incompetent, is fraud
upon the people or it has deceived the
public.
If these statements are correct, and we
insist the facts bear US out in them, the
best thing the Committee of Fitty-one
can do is to make their graceful obeisance
to the public, and let them attend to
political business who are charged with it.

LIVELY LITERARY LITIGANT.

Our handsome friend and brilliant edi-
torial brother, Durant Da Ponte, is at
present wrestling with the Louisiana Levee
Company, the wager being the amount Of
his proprietary interest in that tiuctuatlng
legislative creation. He has summoned a
mandamus to his assistance, and the court
of wide jurisdiction is the arena whefe
the contest is to be settled. Dir. Da
Ponte, for delicate and debonair gentle
man, as be is, holds ponderous grip
upon the Leyee Company, being the
owner, real and contingent, of twenty
seventh interest in that mammoth enter
prise. His mandamus, or rather his peti-
ton for mandamus, says so, and we
assume the assertion to be true, for Mr..
Da Ponte is capable of carrying a
heavy weight, if he is the most ex-
quisitely wrought attache of the metropol-
itan press. But the possession of all
this wealth of levee stock, quoted at three
dollars and more per share, is not as salts
factory to our brilliant friend as it might
be if certain heather Chinese were not
threatening to water his liquor in way to
disturb the beautiful bead that has hither-
to glittered upon its surface when he dis
turbed the body of his appetizer. These
heather Chinese have uttered other stock,
and Mr. Da Ponte, from holding flac-
ton estimated at twenty-seventh, has
been threatened with diminution Of his
values to such an extent that he could only
count himself as something less than a
ninety-ninth part in the sum Of that crea-
ton which his genius had assisted to
create out of the iberality Of the Legisla-
ture. This is Z case il which we feel all
the interest of common brotherhood It
challenges our sympathy at the outset rs
an attempt upon the living which a bril-
liant and worthy editor has secured, and
upon which he hoped TO live at ease during
the remainder of his gay and intellectual
existence, For particulars, see the Law re-
port in another column.

Would it not be we'll for those journals
that are so blatant concerning hurried

quite as gratifying to the pablo to know

much suffering, mainly from want of food,
and but for the relief from Fort Steele the
situation would have been terrible. Many
