sands Of people from settling here. And,
besides driving many away, it has con
signed thousands to an early grave.
These very serious drawbacks to the
growth and prosperity Of New Orleans
could have been abolished as we'll, if not
better, fifty years ago than now, had the
measures that are being carried out to
give thorough system Of drainage and
full protection against inundation then
been adopted, In that case the swamp
lands in the rear of the city would long
since have been reclaimed and built upon.
and the city, instead Of being confined to
narrow strip Of land extending for
miles along the river front, would have ex-
tended to the lake, thereby gaining lake
frontage for private residences that would
be delightful especially in the six or eight
months Of warm weather that our people
are subjected to in this climate But the
spirit Of progress and public improvement
that could grasp at so great an undertak-
ing and execute it did not show itself
until after the government Of the city and
State came into the hands of Republicans.
The same Republican Legislature that
tostered and encouraged the building Of
railroads connecting the city with Mobile,
Houston, Shreveport and all important
points Of trade throughout the country
authorized and made it the duty Of the
city government Of New Orleans to have
perfect system Of drainage and protection
established. After much discussion and
opposition to the work on account of its
cost it was commenced about eighteen
months ago; and to show what has been
done, and the magnitude Of the work,
etc. we can do no better than refer to a
statement that appeared in the REpUB-
LIcAN on Sunday. made by City Surveyor
W. H. Bell. In that statement Sir. Bell
says, '''the total cost Of a thorough drain
age system, including the lake, Ievee and
new drainage machinery, will not exceed
$4,000, 900. !" The opponents of Che work

that amount. They also commended chat
it would take many years 70 complete it,
and therefore should not be commenced
until Che city had more wealth and popu-
lation. With the example before them of
what had been done for Chicago by rails
ing her buildings out of the swamp and
placing them on high ground, at cost Of
many millions Of dollars, the old fogies of
New Orleans shut their eyes and blindly
opposed work that Will clear it of
swamps and inundationso and make it
one Of The healthiest cities in the Union.
The rapid progress Of the work since its
commencement and the amount already |
completed within eighteen months, gives
that the whole can be finished
q three years from the time it was COM
nenced. And when il is done and the
N operation that is 20 assist in
giving perfect drainage to the city from
he river to the lake, all will admit that
be benefits thus conferred can not be
in dollars and cents

GIVE THE PEOPLE PROOFS.

If Mr. Leeds was dismissed from
the LIBERAL emocratic-F usion-Reform-
Straight out Independent Republican
ticket for being tax-resister, as it is said
he was, we are left to the presumption
that Mr.. L. A Wilt is taxpayer and a
prompt one at that. The representative
of an idea should illustrate his poll tics in
his own conduct, and if Mr.. Witt repu-
dates reputation, as it would seem he
does from having been selected to dis
place a repudiator, his friends should be
able to point to his tax receipts as the
evidence of his faithfulness to his own
principles. We insist that this point
should be made clear as light.

CHARLES L. 8. DUPUY, Cashier
The Board Of Directors of the State National
Bank, duly authorized by an affirmative vote OF
majority of fhe stockholders, have resolved to
adopt the mutual system in the disposition of the
earnings of the bank on and after the first of
October, 1872.
Dividends Of earnings win be made quarterly
on the last days of December, March June and
September
Stockholders will receive quarterly dividends of
two and one-half per cent, after CARRYING ten per
cent of net earnings to surplus fund as provided
by law The balance of earnings will be divided
pro rata between depOsitors on their daily bal.
ances and stockholders on the amount of capital
stock.
The system commends itself 60 depositsre as
we'll as to stockholders
To depositors it is but just equivalent for their
good will and patronage, which produces in
creased profits to stockholders.
The statement published above shows the con
ditton of the bank, after passing to dividend ac
count two and one.ha per cent for the past three
months profits and leaving the premium On it's |
United States bonds at ten per cent, and reserve
5nnds, with credit of forty. two thousand dollars.

The Pic0yol9ae infames the Southern
mind anew by making itself the bearer of
something that single Northern news
paper has printed FOR political effect. The
Standard, country organ in Connecticut,
condemns Mr., Greeley for desiring to be
generous to the South in her hour of ad-
@ersity, The Pjcaynae fastens upon this
solitary fact as q sext to embitter the
Southern people against the North, when
the evidence is abundant on every hand
that the North does not entertain any such
unjust sentiment We might as well infer
that the South despises the North because
the Picayu1le rails against Northern in
justice and Northern despotism, when the
truth is that the South, or at least a ma
jority Of the Southern people, are friendly
TO the North, and desire to live in peace
with all their felIow-citizens. The Pic
ayu1le is no more the representative of our
opinions than this obscure Connecticut
paper is the organ Of the liberal and ex-
pansive North. The sentiment of the
country is for peace and amity, and the
only obstruction to a fusion of the entire
country in one grand patriotic thought is
this: that there are disafected and disap-
pointed plotters in the different sections
who speak envious and irritating words of
each other that are reported by themselves
to the annoyance and angering of men
who would otherwise have 10 i'll will be-
tween them.

WHO q WHAT 2

The Pjcoytne propounds this conun-
drum:
Who stands in the way of this glorious
work Of reform and regeneration
We give it up, Of course. We neither
know who is standing in the way of any
thing, nor what the glorious work referred
to is. The same number of the Piccwne
calls upon its ally, the Times, to propose
something for the next game, but we can
not say whether anything glorious will
come out of the suggestion until we get
response from the oracle thus invoked.
If there is glorious plan of campaign, or
any plan at all, except a great rush for
office among the various conservative eIe,
ments, we have not heard of it.

have not yet been adopted. No reply has ye
been received from Earl Granville to the pro

The latter has not given up all hope Of success
