A railroad Grant Redivivus.

In December, 1865, an ordinance was
passed by the City Council providing for
the sale of the right of way to establish a
railroad to connect the depots of the Point
chartrain and the New Orleans, jackson
and Great Northern railroads"
Under this ordinance, the City Control
Ter was authorized to advertise for pro
posals for the purchase Of the right of way
to establish the railroad which should con
meet the depots of said railroads, and the
Controller, subsequently, was proceeding
to carry the ordinance into execution, when
his further action was enjoined by suit in
stituted in the Fourth District Court by
Romance w. Montgomery. That proceed
ing has remained undisposed of in the court
until within the past few days, when the
court-the relator having died in the mean
time-ordered the injunction dismissed.
The most serious complication of this
matter arises from the fact that a short
time ago the Council, overlooking the Ordi-
nance of 1865, granted the right of way to
Messrs. Girardey g. Co. for a railroad over
the same ground covered by the ordinance
of 1865, and by that ordinance bestowed
upon the St. Charles Street Railroad Com
pany.
The latter company, on the eighth instant,
through Mr.. Alden Mcclellan, made de-
mand on the Administrator Of Improve
ments to be furnished the necessary ines,
levels, ETC., by the City Surveyor, in com
pliance with the terms of the ordinance Of
1865, for the purpose of completing the line
of railroad to connect the depots of the
Pontchartrain and New Orleans, jackson
and Great Northern railroads. The portion
remaining to be constructed is that below
Canal street.
The line of road as described in the ordi-
nance of 1865 is thus stated: Commencing
at the intersection of Elysian Fields and
Levee, up Levee to Esplanade, down Es-
planade to Bourbon, up Bourbon to and
across Canal street, up Carondelet to Clio,
down Clio to Magnolia, up Magnolia to
Erato, up EratO to Carondelet, down Ca
rondelet to Delord, up Delord and around
Tivoi circle to the river side of St. Charles
to Canal, down Royal to Esplanade, up Es-
planade to New Levee, down New Levee to
the upper side of Elysian Fields, and down
the upper side of same to Levee or Victory
street.
Under this demand of the st. Charles
Street Railroad Company, the grant to
Messrs. Girardey g. Co. will probably fail.

The Two Conventions.

New ORLEANS, June II, 1872.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
Both of the conventions. the Reform and
Democratic, have at last closed their doors,
and be it said in their favor, in the work
done they have fully met with the expecta-
ton Of the people at large; and had any ore
yet entertained any doubt as to the exist
ence of the Democratic party, this late
show, exhibited at the Opera House, would
have convinced even the most ineredulOus
that the days of Benton, Jackson, Calhoun,
etc, belonged to the past, and that the
Academy of Music would have been a far
more appropriate location for such bonn
bastic display of heterogeneous talents,
than the one selected tor that purpose.
1t would be useless for me TO run over
what took place there; everybody is familiar
with the whole transaction. Be it sufficient
to say that, notwithstanding the daily as
sertions of the organ of modern Democracy
about harmony prevailing in camp, and its
firm conviction of winning the day in No
vember next, yet no one believes a word Of
it, and there is not single man in the
party mot excepting the Bee that would
venture the shadow Of a penny on the
chances being in their favor. 1t would be
against common sense-it would be against
horse sense to do So.
/ know very well that some men viii
sometimes talk themselves into persuasion;
that the names of. DemOsthenes and Cicero
may have flashed the minds of come Of the
young Democratic speakers as they stumped
the late Opera House assembly. Tall oaks
Large streams! We all knew that. But
where is the fountain ?" Where is the
little acorn ?" You can't get, to save your
life, potatoe out of turnip, nor an arch
bishop out of horseradish. That is i'm
possible.
1t puts me in mind of two travellers ST. Pr
ping at the same hotel and occupying the
same room, one being white, the other
eolored man. The white man, as he retired,
gave orders to wake him up soon in the
morning; he had business to attend to.
During the night, the colored man blackens
the white mans face. The latter is called
up soon in the morning, dresses in a hurry,
and, about to leave, pulls out small look
ing-glass. 'Dog-gone y says he, "that id
fool got up the wrong man." and he could
not be made to believe he was himself until
he had seen the negro in bed.
would like to know whether or not the
Democratic party has found out by this
time that they were the solicitors for com
mon action at the hands of the Republican
party, and not the Republican party at
theirs! fnot, the verdict of the people
will soon show them that such was the
case C.P.

FEMALE PRIZE FIGHT-A Point Settled
Louisa johnson and Pinkey Morel, women
of bad repute, who live in the worst por-
tons Of Burgundy street, recently agreed
to disagree about one of the thousand things
which such characters find time and oppor
tunitv to quarrel over. After few rough
preliminaries had been arranged by inter
ested parties, the harridans consented to
settle their difficulty by appealing to the
power of personal muscle. Five seconds
were chosen, and it was planned to have
the fight take place last evening at point
on Metairie ridge. They went out about
i've O'Clock, accompanied by some choice
acquaintance, no police being among
them.
They fought their fight, and the mighty
question as to who is the best woman is
settled, so that now the Presidential cam
paign can proceed as if nothing had hap
pened.
Louisa johnson vanquished Pinkey
Morel, the latter returning home utterly
demoralized, hair disheveled, attire torn,
and skin bruised, with other marks which
indicate that she was worsted. Most Of the
party were arrested soon after returning,
and when the charge is proved our city
treasury will perhaps be benefited tribe.
It is highly cOnsoling to know that the
great question of which woman is the best
man is settled.

ALMOST A RIoT-Three Men Wounded
About noon yesterday number Of men,
kind Of disorderly escort for two or three
delegates from the Philadelphia nominal
ing convention, were passing along Basin
street, rather jubilant and talking loud.
When near the corner Of Perdido street, it
is said, some of the party made use Of vile
expressions, seemingly directed to Thomas
Burke and William Moran, who were stand
inc on or near the corner Of Basin and Per
dido streets. Mr. Burke left the banquette
and stepped into the street; one Of the men
pursued and cut him with a knife. Burke
then drew his pistol and began firing; he
was wounded three or four times, and fell
from loss Of blood.
Several pistol shots we're fired, and col
ored man was wounded. He and Burke
were sent to the Charity Hospital. There
seemed to be an intention 20 harm Moran,
but he was saved by the police taking
charge of him. He was followed to the
first precinct stationhOuse by a large crowd
Of colored men.
We made an attempt to CLEAN some par
ticulars from persons who said they wit
messed the conflict, but as their statements
vary widely, we are unwilling to make
note of them. In fact, it is not certain that
our account is correct, and we give it as we
heard it. Probably no true version will
ever be uttered.

THAT BLOODY CoRNER-Another Shooting
A6ray.-Between five and six o'clock last
evening that lively corner, Common and
St. Charles streets, was awakened into
something like sensation, at the sound of
pistol shots Ned or Candy Murphy and
NJ. P. Ryan were the warriors, and the diff
Guilty was brought about, as related to us,
through a misunderstanding between two
brothers of the combatants.
During the early part Of the evening
Ryan's brother and Murphy's brother be-
came involved in a quarrel. the younger
Murphy assailing the younger Ryan. The
elder Ryan chided the assailant for not
tackling man of his own size and condi-
ton. This led to a further disturbance,
which was ended by policeman arresting
the elder Ryan. He did not remain in prison
I9ng, as he furnished bond for appearance
tb-day He, it seems, returned to the nOtO-
rIous corner, where he met the elder Muir
Thy, when both men drew pistols and com
menced firing quite lively. Which was the
aggressor is not definitely known, for we
hear it variously stated. Five or six shots
were delivered, but only one bullet taking
effect. Ryan was wounded in his right
thigh, and as blood flowed freely it was
thought that an artery had been severed:
He was sent to the Charity Hospital, but
left for his home as soon as his wound was
dressed, which may indicate that his condi-
ton was not precariOus.
Ned Murphy was arrested and lodged in
the first precinct statiOnhOuse. He is
known as a st. Charles street sharper.
Ryan is a tinsmith, and hard-working
man, and is not given to quarreling. He
asserts that he was simply taking care of
his brother, who is sickly and weak.
