T,ouisiaua Affairs,

WASHINGTON, December 21.--It can be
positively stated, on good authority, that
Judge Bradley has not signifed any inten-
tion to go to New Orleans during the present
term of the United States Supreme Court,
and it is pretty certain that he will not do so
unless requested by the President, who, as
the head Of the political department of the
Government, is more especially charged with
the political relations between the States and
the General Government.
1t is understood the Supreme Court does
not regard itself as having any power over
the question, whether Judge Bradley should
or should not go to New Orleans; and his
going there at all, at this juncture, at the re-
quest of private parties, or from his own
volition, might have the appearance of dis
trust of the two judges already at or near
the spot He would be very reluctant to
take such step, however willing to do any
thing in his power TO aid in settling the un-
happy difficulties which exist.

The WINTER SoLsTICE.-There are two
soistices in the year--the summer selstlcc,
June 22d, when the sun reaches his highest
northern dcclination, and the winter solstite e,
December 22d, when he reaches his hiShCs st
southern dcclination. For several days be-
fore and after the solstice there is but q slight
variation in the suns apparent declination,
and he is said to stand still. There is during
the solstice about the same time between the
suns rising and setting each day. When the
sun is in the winter solstice point occurs the
shortest day of the year, as it is called
in common parlance. This is usually
December 22d. This year, however, the
18th. according to the almanac, was the
shortest day, there having been nine hours
and twenty-siX minutes between the rising
and setting of the sun in this latitude. Christ
mas day will be one minute longer. For the
latitude Of Boston the shortest day was nine
hours and four minutes long. But to some
persons the shortest day is very long, and
the longest sometimes very short. 10 the
young aud happy, Christmas day will per-
hapS be the shortest day in the year, the
almanac to the contrary notwithstanding.

GETTING READY FOR CHRlSTMAS.-All the
private schools have been dismissed for the
Christmas holidays, and the public schools
will close tomorrow christmas eyc) for
the holidays. The children are of course
in full expectation of the many en-
joymcnts incident to the festival which, it
might be claimed, belongs principally to
them; for in maturity our enjoyment of the
season is mainly from seeing them happy and
in retrospcclion, For grown people, who
deal more largely in the real things Of life
than any one would wish to see children pre-
maturely engage, the week before Christmas
is anything but Il cheerful period. With
many it is & season Of care and anxiety. For
the la>t few days the weather has been very
untuvortblc to business. but the shops and
windows of nearly all OF our storckeepcrS
have been more attractive than usual. 1t is
trusted. however, that the two remaining

and fair enough TO enable everybody, both

so that iii the end none can fail to enjoy,
really and truly, Il merry Christmas.

shat some time since we gave a full account
of the proposed addition to the pumpthouse,
which 1t Is expected win add largely to It's
capacity, and thus materially increase our
supply of water. On Saturday the first piece
of iron for the machinery to be placed in
this building was cast at the foundry Of
Messrs. Joseph Hall & CO., being one of the
shafts which is to connect the water-wheel
with the crank-shaft which works the
pumps. This piece OF solid iron is fourteen
feet long md sixteen inches In diameter,
weighing in the rough about 10000 pounds.
1t was loom casting, and was made perpen-
dicular, which gives more strength to the
metal. The work was done under the super
vision of Mr.. H. Derbyshire, foreman for
Messrs. Hall & Co., and one of the most
skilful workmen in his line in the city.
The casting of this large piece of iron was
witnessed by Mr.. Galine, of Philadelphia,
who is experimenting this work; Mr..
