ON CARONDELET STREET.

The combinations in those companies :" Ao
have for their object the running OF street
cars without the mule, and the vaiue y.
whose stock depends upon the proximity OF
success, seem, beside the vending OF ieVee
stock, to form the only sensations on tne
street, the traffic in other stocks not Delng
sensational nor subject to similar violent
fluctuations. The first company OF this de-
scription was the Pneumatic, and so feasible
and practical did the enterprise OF placing
compressed air as a force in making the cars
RIM seem that the stock rose as high as $40
inst as long as no actual experiment was
made. and the stock was buoyed up by the
fancies of dreaming engineers When II
was discovered that the power was there,
but without a reservoir to hold 1T suhclent
in strength, doubt began to leak in, and the
stock fell into the shadows OF nothlngness.
The Ammonia experiment, with the same
object. next claimed attention, backed by
arguments equally as potent ana CAL
culations equally as firm, and it Is now on
the street valued as high as $21 so
share of $780, There are not wanting
reasons to show that the power OF ammo
niacal air is equally as serviceable and
cheap as the mule, and the company Is
ready for the eaperimentum crucls. AS to
the opinion3 about the success OF the enter
prise, there are no lack in the minds Of the
stockholders, who are as confident OF sue
cess as men who know the basis OF their
calculations usually are. The stock can
not be borne down lower than $50 for any
great length Of time. 1t has considerable
elasticity, and rapidly RECEIVERS from the
blows that buying brokers usually feel
called upon to infict. A certain man hav-
ing thirty shares to sell, offered them, but
but could get no more than SIS, when the
quotable rate was So and upward. To get
| hold of these shares, some of the tallest
kind Of gasconading was perpetrated, but
at latest accounts all the bluff sales to bring
I'D quotation failed. This incident serves
to show how little business there really is
in the market, since there must needs be
such great cry and little WOOL
The traffic in Levee stock has been even
for some time. 1t rises by cents, and does
not 60 down well. A big sale OF 5000 shares
reported has been denied by the reported
seller, leaving the transactions confined to
the barter of few hundreds.
All transactions outside of the street are
confined to the legitimate stocks, that Is,
those which have a cash instead of ficti-
tious valuation.
The fact is, car ran some distance out
Canal street day before yesterday by the

a chance for another company.

Mr.. Mullens was the orator of the Re
formers at the First Ward Club on Thurs
day night. He did not make long speech,
but he managed to fall into a serious error.
If his speech had been longer it might
have been worse, for short speech with
big mistake in it can only suggest that
a longer one would have contained greater
errors. Mr. Mullens mounted the State
debt, and misinformed his hearers with
the remark that the Auditor computed the
debt of the State at Sal 100000. The
Auditor does nothing of the sort. He puts
the debt at less than S2J, GOO, 600, but says
that there are certain contingent liabilities
that the State may have to pay, which Will
swell the amount to $4,000, OW. II she
does have to pay them she will have her
recourse upon the railroads that really owe
the debt, and this recourse will amply Sc
cure her against loss 4 man who is Sc
curity upon note, being amply secured
by mortgage, is not really debtor, for he
has the means with which to save himself
if he is called upon to pay the note. Mr..
Mullens does not understand this prin-
ciple, and therefore his mistake. But it is
too bad to have this sort of political Wis
dom taught to the Reformers, for if they
receive it their lives may be made miser-
able by their wretched belief.

der if they could not improve the political
condition of the community. Their loea
is that they should be exempt from paying
a license tax, on the ground that LABOR
should be exempt from taxation, and that
it is actually unlawful, under the existing
constitution of the State, to assess any
license against them.
These gentlemen are committing an
error in assuming that labor is taxed 1of
it is not. as thousands Of laborers can as
suredly testify. They are committing a
mistake in supposing that they are iden-
teal with laborers, for they are separated
from that class in being located, in having
an established business, in requiring more
protection than the ordinary day work
man. A tailor with his shop in active
operation differs from a mere laborer IN
this that he requires policemen, firemen,
streets, pavements, street lights, and
twenty other incidents, local and
permanent, to protect, facilitate and
prosper his business. Courts are
maintained, militia provided, jails built
and governments instituted III his behalf.
The daily laborer needs none Of these, or
at most, he requires only a 1.-THE OF what
the man. with an established business
needs in order to give security to his III
vestment as well as to his employment
The mechanics are doing themselves an
injury by attempting to draw line be-
tween their accountability to the State
and that of their neighbors who are for
tunate enough to own piece OF real es-
tate They assert their exemption from
the burdens of society, and prescribe that
all taxation shall be assessed against those
who own property. Do they not use the
pavements and banquettes, and do not
their customers use them quite as freely
as the property-owner who built them !?
Does not the drayman, the cartman and
the cab-driver use the streets more and
derive greater benefit from them than
the man who pays for putting them down?
Do not all of these parties, together
with the day laborer, derive the same ad-
vantages from public improvements, from
lighted streets, from we'll built wharves
and clearly public squares as the property
owner? If they do, is it unjust to ask
them to pay for the expense of keeping
these improvements in repair, and OF
making Others Community is whole,
and no. a lot of fragments. Government
must be supported by all, in order that
all NAV take that interest in it which will
preserve it from becoming oppressive to
one class and liberal to another.
In conclusion, the mechanics are MAX
ing their greatest mistake in entering upon
an expensive attempt to shove their own
burdens upon their neighbors. They will
have lawyer, put the city which repre-
sents themselves to expense, and end IN
a failure We say this advisedly and IN
their interests They have proper way
to relieve themselves, and that is by being
more attentive to what they understand
by reforming their political ideas in the
matter of selecting candidates for office,
and in keeping out of law suits.

While Mr.. Mullens was on the subject
of the State debt he might have told the
Reformers Of the first ward that about
eight millions OF the present real labili-
ties of Louisiana were saddled upon the
people by the wicked conduct Of the De-
mocracy in engaging in the rebellion and
allowing the levees to go to ruin. Or else
he might have told them that the Repub-
licans We're to blame for repairing the
levees at all, seeing that their repair was to
cost money. We should like to have Mr..
Mullens crate on this subject a little, in
order to discover whether he is for or
against the levees. VIII he take an early
opportunity to throw his light in this di-
rection?
