One way the city government might
adopt to arrest the constantly increasing
litigation that annoys and costs the cor
poration so much. Let each Administrator
reduce his contracts to writing and have
the same signed by both parties No worl,
should bepUt out without being thoroughly
understood. This is the first step. The
next is to see that these contracts are full
flied according to the letter of the written
agreement. The next, to comply with the
terms without delay. BY such a system
the Administrators would know Just what
wasDeing done, and what their own duty
in the premises would be and the con-
tractors would know what they were re-
qUired to do and what they would obtain
when their work was done. The Pacific
Railroad and the Panama Steamship Com
pany are much greater corporations than
that of New Orleans, employing more men,
paying out greater sums of money and
supervising a larger field Of action. These
gigantic corporations reduce everything to
writing, pay promptly what they contract
for, and escape al law suits. The same
system that they adopt might be made
useful in the city Of New Orleans or any
other corporation.

Few MEXICAN MINISTER.

For long time the United States has
not been represented as she should have
been in the republic of Mexico. We are
not SO represented at present. Mr.. Nelson
our resident minister, has been so inefi-
Gent and incapable, that there are but
very few people know who lie is, what is
his name, or whence lie emanates. He
has done so little that when al american
desires to know the name Of his minister
in Mexico, be has to write to Washington
for the information. This should not be
so. In q country torn by revolutions, dis
turbed in It's politics. almost at war with
us, that our minister should be too weak
to be heard as a peacehaher between the
bellgerents. or as the defender OF bis OWL
countrymen, is q poor recommendation OF

from among farmers. Besides, MIR. Nelson
has his sympathies with the West and not
with the South that is interested in what
he is doing. Illinois has no vital concern
in the construction of a railroad to the Pa
cifc from New Orleans. On the contrary,
Illinois is rather against such an enterprise,
since its immediate effect will be to attract
a large portion OF that emigraDt labor
which goes into the Northwest NJ. Nell
son, therefore, feelsas a Western man and
a farmer in his present position, and not
as a Southern man and d statesman.
1t is time that We were better repre-
scented in Mexico than we are It is time
for two reasons-frst that our immediate
interests are suffering because our present
representative has not attended to them as
he should and secondly because the gen
eral interests of the world are being i'll
jured by the monopoly which few Euro
peans have secured of the power and trade
Of Mexico through the supineness Of our
minister. 4 vigorous representative
would have set these foreigners, who in
jure Us by pandering to and influencing
the prejudice Of the Mexicans against US,
in the background long since They are
frowsy set Of men at best who captivate
weak-minded people by little impudence
or a liberal bestowal Of wines and fat
things, and they can be beaten easily if
the right man undertakes it as Emile La
Sere used to do. The West should let Us
take the mission to Mexico at once, for
that is venture which We can turn to our
mutual profit. At present it is of no Use
to anybody except the minister, who seems
to sleep away his time.

We are informed by the State assessors
that notwithstanding the many complaints
Of the high scale Of assessments adopted
last year, that the sales OF real estate since
the rolls were made up show that the esti-
mates were from ten to fifty per cent below
the actual values. Whether this be an
evidence of leniency on tie part Of the old
board or of increased prices during the
past months of the ''crisis, is a question
we leave to those interested; but it is for
tunate that We know real estate in New
Orleans is worth much more than lugu-
brious newspaper letter-writers would have
US believe. BY the way, it would be al
interesting item Of social statistics to learn
what proportion Of the soreheals, who
write over the much abused term '.tax-
payer, escape paying taxes altogether

One thing that should draw the atten-
ton Of every unselish Republican is the
fact that every effort at Cancellation which
is made by the State administration is at
once rejected by the Citizens Guard as i'm
possible and not to be entertained
Although the President himself advised a
compromise that would settle all the dis
putes that exist n the party, the Guqrt! and
its conductors refused the suggestion, and
insist in quarreling, in the name of General
Grant, with men that General Grant has
consulted with as to the best way of making
peace. Toward such factious and doni-
neering spirit what other course is left for
the Republican party to adopt but to treat
it patiently without descending to attend
to its demands?
