Not one person in a hundred in New
Orleans realizes the fact that the admirable
drainage system inaugurated by the pre-
sent Administrators public work which
will cause them to be gratefully ramem-
bered hereafter progressed so rapidly
that the system can be put in operation in
the first and second drainage districts be-
fore the advent Of the New Year, provided
the Administrators will Immediately pro-
cure the requisite pumps and set the COM
pany at work upon the protection levee
along the lake shore. After the energy
displayed by the administrators and the
company in digging the interior canals it
would be unfortunate to have the inaugu-
ration Of this great and beneficial work
upon which the health and prosperity
of New Orleans largely depends
delayed for tie want of the
requisite pumping machinery and the
levee with a wooden revet-
ment now contemplated along the lake
shore. Let US have them as soon as prac-
tolble, so that the public may see New
Orleans efficiently drained at the earliest
possible day.

Minorities are healthy, because they
take so much exercise themselves that
they force majorities to follow their exam
pie. The Bourbon Democrats constitute
this salutary influence in Louisiana.
Their energy is always in correspondence
with their diminutiveness. Small bodies
are frisky, large ones slow and temperate.
A small flea can keep big body in an
agony Of activity. This is exactly the ca
pacity Of the Bee. 1t helped to distribute
a free circulation Of blood in the Demo
cratic convention by its ceaseless irrita-
ton. When a delegate thought he was
all right he suddenly found that he was
annoyed in a delicate spot This forced
him to move, and this movement arrested
sluggishness. Men must not go to sleep
in these pressing times. E ernal vigilance
is the price Of liberty and whether that
vigilance is promoted by feas or geese, the
State should be thankful to the cause for
the effect Rome almost deifed the gan
ders that alarmed the Senate. We are in
duty bound to regard with favor the men
who stick pins in US when we need to be
awake, for our salvation depends on our
keeping at least one eye open. If the re-
sponsible men Of the State, in their pres
ent effort to redeem the community from
misrule, were allowed to go ahead without
objection, they would make mistakes, be-
cause they would fall into heedlessness
The Bourbon minority presents this catas-
trophe. It forces the majority to think
before it acts, and to be discreet when it
does advance. Therefore we should treat
this minority as a healthy influence. It
keeps the majority awake and on its
guard Put some ice on the minority.

The sunlight Of our home has gone down into
darkness, and our little boy, the pride Of our
hearts, the joy Of lives has departed across the
dark river There is no pain so terrible, no agony
SO dreadful to the living the presence of death
1t IS an awful thing to turn the eyes, but find moth
ing but mementoes Of the dear departed. Our
hearts are full Though We have the consolation
that our darling is in the better land it does not
lessen our grief nor weaken our sorrow

What has Mr. Greeley done for the De-
mocracy that he should obtain its vote?
Intercepted Mr.. Wickliffe of the Demo-
cratic State Convention. The country IS
not canvassing candidates, at present, on
account of what they have done, but for
what they propose to do. If Mr.. Wick
life has lived so long that the psat is
of more impor ance to him than the fp-
ture, he should not Profer counsel to
those who are looking before instead Of
behind them.

Prudes and questionable characters are
great on dignity. There is nothing so
shocking to a slippery female as an impro-
priety in public. The Picayune dislikes
bribery, and the Bee has distaste for die
tation. The easy virtue of the one and
the antiquity of the other Of these jour
nails justihes their prudish sentimentalism.
If gentleman winks, the Picaylne fires
up, because it knows the sign; if q man
has an opinion, the Bee busters because
it was not consulted in the formation of
the same. This is very unpleasant.
There are men who wink without knowing
ii, and there are others who frame sug-
gestions Spontaneously, so to speak, and
they are constantly being taken to task
therefor by these over-virtuous journals.
The Liberal Republicans did not intend
to bride the Democrats by their offer of
coalition, nor did they attempt to dictate
to them. They merely offered to Join
themselves to other good men for the
benefit Of all This is not bribery nor in
but q plain common sense
transaction. And these old women of the
press rustic their suspicious Dolly Yardens,
and put on tie airs of insulted Innocence.
1t is time this thing was stopped. If these
sensitive creatures can not behave them
selves, let them consort with each other
Respectable parties do not relish the prac-
tice Of being accused Of designs upon them
when such thing is forbidden by their
very appearance.

Motion.

The State Register Rises to Make a
Motion.
The Louisiana (Carrollton) State Register,
which is Republican journal of frst-rate
ability and sincerity, is decidedly in favor
of the denomination of Mr.. Conway for the
Office he now holds. The following is from
that paper of yesterday:
Both Of the Republican conventions that
are to meet in Baton ROnge this month had
better renOminate Parson Conway for Su-
perintendent of Public Education. He is
rhe best man for that place in Louisiana.
We have never seen a shade of turning in
Conway since he set his plow in the ground
lie has gone right straight ahead to multi
ply schools, provide good teachers and
make the school fund do all the work that
was in it. There is some talk of swapping
horses. The man that proposes this is an
enemy to the children of the State. Con-
way can vote for Grant, Greeley, or any
body else for President, but we intend to
vote for him for superintendent of Educa-
ton, for that is his business above all others.
" hen we get tirst-class printer in our
office we keep him, as every citizen does
when he employs an agent that suits him.
This IS what the people ought to do with
Conway. He is just where he should be.
and the State will be a fool if she does not
keep him there. Let both conventions show
their good sense by letting politics alone
long enough to nominate man for educa-
tioHal purposes who knows his business.

The Secretary of the Treasury, in reply
to resolution of the House, states that sl2-
675,357 has been paid into the Treasury
for sales Of property by officers Of the Navy
Department, since May 30, 1865. All such
moneys are credited to the specific appro-

As they are now acting, they are shaping
the policy for an inevitable and over
whelming defeat. They are not only in
