York by rail for S13 per ton, and by way
of New Orleans for 81 so"
The above statement of cost, waving
an error of ten cents, and s'the tolls and
profits of carriers, leave out entirely the
cost Of carriage from Richmond to New
York. So we can not tell what the cost of
q ton moved from St. Louis to New York
BY this route f'would" be. Flour has
been carried at ten barrels to the ton from
st, Louis to New Orleans for SIS, New Or
leans to New York SIS, transfer fifty cents,
making $40 so per ton, or 81 05 per barrel
on q time of twelve days.
But we repeat our entire approval OF all
sorts Of canals anywhere. We trust this
canal will be made, but we must complain
of our friends Of the Mississippi accepting
dredge boats and aqueducts over the ALE
ghany as a substitution for the Louisville
canal, the Desmoine Rapids canal and
the Fort st. Philip canal at the mouth Of
the river. Such substitutions are quoted
against the Mississippi improvement, and
we regret as we have refuted it.
Indeed, we may remind the Missouri
Republican that already, without expend-
ing dollar, st. Louis has better way
and deeper water to New York and Liver
pool by the Illinois river canal, the lakes
and the st. Lawrence, or the Erie canal,
than that proposed over the Alleghanies

HOW THE MISSION IS RECEIVED

THE Washington dispatches inform us
that the New Orleans committee has been
received and listened to by the President
with the respect due to American citizens
who present actual ogsupposed grievances
for redress They have also appealed TO
the Supreme Court to dispatch an asso-
ciate justice 70 preside personally over
such proceedings as may be held in Louis
ana involving an inquest of Office Some
thing. perhaps. in the nature Of q bill OF
reyiew. Then these gentlemen have been
received with consideration by the meme
bers Of Congress. and 1t is proposed that
proposals Of legislation Sill be introduced
looking to the appea! Of Office represented
by this committee. Now every mark Of
consideration and Of kindness which mAcets
these gentlemen has QUE sincere "pprob"-

THE WAY TO STOP IT.

If the fusionigts, who ore now seeking
to cure local disease by applying for
medical help in Washington, will only
come back home and teach their own fol-
lowers how to respect the rights of every
man, and to be honest in dealing with the
ballot-box, they will effect reform much
sooner than they can hope for it in their
present attempt. Any present help they
might obtain in Washington would only
be like saIve that drove healthy erup-
ton back into the system to poison the
blood that sought to throw out its impu-
rites through the conduits of boil. Our
sickness does not originate at Washington,
but it arises from our own perverse
quarrels about white and black people, and
their relative rights. The only remedy
for this is to employ every man according
to his ability, as the private citizen does.
This will end the row at once.

A nonNITTHE OF FIFTEEN.

Notwithstanding our present poverty
and wretchedness, as contrasted with our
former wealth and felicity, according to
the Democratic oracles, it is living fact
that there are fifteen steamships now due
at this port from Europe where we never
had one during the entire year before the
great disaster III 1861. Nine steamers are
due from Liverpool, to wit: the Ger
many, Minnesota, Corinthian, Alice,
Louisiana, Belgian, Arbitrator, Canadian
and ROYAL Standard. From the port OF
Sunderland, in Wales, the Queen of Eng
land is due. From Cardiff, Wales, the
Anne Ainslie and the Archdruid are due
From Newport, Wales, the Bella Is due.
From Hamburg the Saxonia, and from
Bremen the Frankfort are due. Tins IS
an array Of steamships to be proud OF,
all pointing their prows this way at one
time. They represent time and force
both money in this age of sixty-day dis
counts. And yet we need about two hun
dred such messengers grand CONNER
cial committee securing the seas for trade
and friendship. When the people OF
New Orleans drop the diminutive a8itator
of the corner coffeehouse and turn their
attention to sending out maritime COM
mittees like the one to which we have al
luded to above, the world will know US
then as metropolis, instead Of knowing
us, as it does nows a community of sore

We learn by private dispatch from
Washington that the President has ap-
pointed our friend and fellow citizen,
August J. Cassard, to be United States
consul at Tobasco, Mexico. This is an
old Spanish town, in the Mexican State of
the same name, situated on the river,
about sixty miles from the sea OF bay Of
Campeacby. Its trade is principally III
logwood, mahogany, tobacco, some coffee,
fruits of various kinds, and many other
tropical products, in which there are sew
eraI schooners engaged plying to and from
New Orleans. It is therefore the more
gratifying to us to know thata Loui6ianian
has been selected by the government to
represent American interests there. Mr..
Cassard is brother of Jules Cassard, Esq,
president Of the Germania National Bank,
and was recently secretary Of the Jefferson
City Gaslight Company. He iso more
over, familiar @-ith the people, trade, To-
culity language habits, etc.s Of Tobasco,
having been for 8 long time engaged in
business in that city. His experience as a
merchant will greatly sid him in the dis
charge of his consular dutieso We learn
that he expects 10 leave for Mexico within
g week OF so. for the field Of his official
duties

EAT,T THEREf

We can not imagine what induced Mr..
Rodrigues, and his colleagues in the
House who voted with him, to offer pre-
MUM on tax resisting, for such certainly
is the bill which passed q second reading
yesterday, estoping the enforced collection
of accrued State and city taxes, and ex-.
tending the time of payment thereof, with
out penalty, until December of next year
The simple suggestion is an outrage upon
those who have honestly and promptly
paid their dues, and it's effect must inev-
itabIy be to prevent all such from doing
any like absurd thing hereafter. Does Mr..
Rodrigues realize that his bill will, in JUS
ticeo aecessitate the repayment of the
large amount of penalties that
have already been collected? Does he
know that louisiana is blessed with an
interest-bearing debt that the fiscal agency
is staggering under. because of the undue
leniency heretofore granted delinquent tax
payers? Does he nos see that his PROPOSE
ton is simply binding hand and foot the
new State government which he was elect
ed 20 maintain, and rendering il as help
less, in fact. as the organs Of its enemies
threatened $hey would make it? The
State and every man who Cakes its war

the Sax-resisting policy and now it is proc

that certain brokers, through his con-
